In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 41 She Discovered It All
Only then did Xie Chengjin follow Su Zhizhi out of the village with satisfaction.
These days, Su Zhizhi's restaurant business is very hot. In just a week, the profits have doubled and it has almost become the most popular restaurant in town.
Things have been developing in a stable and positive direction, but there are often people who don't want life to remain so peaceful.
On this day, the restaurant welcomed a distinguished guest, Liu Xiaohua.
Everyone in the town knew this rich man's daughter, so when Liu Xiaohua appeared, many people were whispering.
Liu Xiaohua just heard that this newly opened restaurant seemed very good, so he thought of coming to take a look. But as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Liu Xiaohua saw Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin busy in the lobby.
There are always a lot of people in the restaurant, so if they have time, Su Zhizhi and the others will choose to go down and help in person, but they didn't notice Liu Xiaohua who walked in.
Liu Xiaohua called the waiter over and pointed at Su Zhizhi and asked, "Who are they? Why are they here?"
The waiter was confused, but still explained: "Miss Liu, don't you know? They are the owners of our restaurant, and Miss Su is the boss lady."
This one sentence made Liu Xiaohua freeze in place, and his face turned dark in an instant.
The boss and his wife? Are they husband and wife, not siblings?
Why did they tell her they were siblings? Why did the couple team up to coax her around?
When Liu Xiaohua thought of this, she felt very angry. She had never been treated like this since she was a child.
No, she couldn't swallow this humiliation and had to retaliate severely.
The waiter at the side watched Liu Xiaohua stand there in a daze for a long time, so Shi Bin cautiously asked, "Miss, would you like to order?"
Liu Xiaohua snorted coldly, "Order! But you have the nerve to open a restaurant with only a few dishes on your menu? Can anyone afford to open a restaurant these days? Quickly call your wife over so I can have a good talk with her."
The waiter saw that Liu Xiaohua was angry, so he quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, Miss Liu, I'll go right away."
After a while, Su Zhizhi appeared in front of Liu Xiaohua.
The moment Su Zhizhi saw Liu Xiaohua, she was surprised and delighted. She enthusiastically asked Liu Xiaohua, "Miss Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Xiaohua didn't answer Su Zhizhi. Instead, he stared at him and asked, "Oh? If I hadn't come today, how would I have known that you and your so-called brother were husband and wife?"
"I've been so good to you, why did you lie to me? I even came to your rescue when you were bullied before. Have you forgotten all that? Or do you want to use me?"
Liu Xiaohua looked at Su Zhizhi and asked.
After hearing these words, Su Zhizhi was stunned. She swallowed nervously and became at a loss. What should she say?
She didn't dare to say directly that the reason she didn't tell her was because she was afraid of the power of the Liu family.
Just when Su Zhizhi was at a loss, Xie Chengjin appeared. Xie Chengjin could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and he guessed that Su Zhizhi's concealment of her marital relationship was exposed.
So Xie Chengjin spoke up for Su Zhizhi without hesitation, saying, "The reason we hid our relationship as husband and wife was because I didn't like you at all, but I was afraid of hurting you, so Zhizhi lied and said we were brother and sister."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xiaohua's face became visibly ugly.
The next second, she stood up and slammed the table, saying, "Okay, I get it. Just treat my previous kindness to you as a dog!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
At the same time, a huge gap arose in Liu Xiaohua's heart between him and Su Zhizhi and the others.
Looking at Liu Xiaohua's departing back, Su Zhizhi felt extremely guilty. If she had known earlier, she would not have lied and would have just told the truth from the beginning. Who could have known that this would happen?
Su Zhizhi felt very regretful. At the same time, she had a vague bad premonition in her heart.
"Chengjin, do you think Miss Liu will hold a grudge against us and take revenge on us?" Su Zhizhi couldn't help but ask.
Xie Chengjin gave a wry smile and answered truthfully, "To be honest, I don't know, because I don't know her character, but I feel like this matter isn't over yet."
Xie Chengjin spoke the truth.
After saying this, Su Zhizhi felt even more regretful.
At the same time, Liu Xiaohua, who was extremely angry, no longer had the heart to hang around outside. She immediately returned to the Liu Mansion and saw Liu Yuanwai as soon as she walked into the living room.
"Hey, didn't you just tell me that you were going for a walk on the street? Why are you back here in a huff now? Who has offended my precious daughter?" Mr. Liu looked at Liu Xiaohua and said with a smile.
Liu Xiaohua didn't know where to begin for a moment, so he changed the subject and said, "Then why is Father staying home today? Shouldn't you be checking on our restaurant's business at this time of year?"
As soon as Liu Xiaohua finished speaking, Mr. Liu sighed with great worry, "Ah, I don't know what's going on lately, but our restaurant business is very bad. I'm worried about it."
When Liu Xiaohua heard this, she suddenly realized something and said, "Father, I know why our restaurant's business is not doing well. I went to the street and found a new restaurant called 'Laiyuelou' that recently opened. Business is booming. It's because of its appearance that it has taken away our restaurant's business."
When Mr. Liu heard this, he was shocked. "Daughter, is what you said true? Who is the boss behind Laiyue Tower? Do you know his background?"
Mr. Liu hurriedly asked.
Liu Xiaohua thought of the scene where Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi were ostracized while setting up a stall at the morning market, so he spoke frankly, "They have no status at all, they are just two ordinary people."
Perhaps the contempt in Liu Xiaohua's eyes was too glaring, and the disdain in his words was too obvious, and for a moment Liu Yuanwai suddenly had a bold idea.
"Okay, I get it. Calm down and go play, my dear daughter! Your father still has things to deal with." Mr. Liu coaxed Liu Xiaohua and then went to the study.
In the study, the housekeeper had been waiting for Mr. Liu for a long time.
"Master, you are looking for me!" said the butler respectfully.
Mr. Liu nodded and said, "There's something I need you to do for me. Find a way to bribe the kitchen staff at Laiyue Tower and have them put some laxatives in the food. Remember, you have to be very discreet and don't get caught."
Mr. Liu instructed the housekeeper.
"Yes, sir. I'll do it right away." After saying that, the butler turned and left.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu showed a sinister smile. Now, there was going to be a good show.
