Peerless Young Master

Chapter 21 A Step Closer

"How is the situation? Great uncle should retreat when faced with difficulties. Those people from the branch clan don't dare to go against Manager Zhao. My father-in-law should keep his position as the head of the family firmly," Li Xuan walked forward and asked.

Lin Ruolin nodded: "Manager Zhao's status is so precious that they naturally dare not offend him. You don't know how ugly the uncle's face is."

As she spoke, a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes, like the stars twinkling in the night.

All the grievances of so many years finally disappeared at this moment.

"That's good." Li Xuan nodded. The matter was finally over.

"Thank you. If you hadn't invited Manager Zhao, I'm afraid my great uncle's conspiracy would have succeeded today." Lin Ruolin spoke with some tenderness and gratitude.

"We are a family, there is no need to thank us"

family.

Hearing this, Lin Ruolin lowered her eyes slightly, but her heart began to surge. If she and Li Xuan became a real couple, they might not be able to live happily.

He is intelligent, skilled, and willing to give everything for her. He is smart and brave, and can support her and the restaurant.

Isn't this exactly what she wants from her other half?

Her heart skipped a beat, her breathing became rapid, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

I was surprised by this bold idea.

"Are you okay?" Li Xuan noticed something was wrong.

"It's okay." Lin Ruolin's eyes flickered, and she quickly calmed down. She didn't know what she remembered, and was a little surprised: "How did you convince Manager Zhao? With his status, even if my father came to visit, it would be difficult to see him."

Li Xuan did not lie: "I sold him the hot pot recipe in exchange for his action; I vaguely guessed that the great uncle's strong attack this time might not be so easy to deal with.

I'm afraid something unexpected will happen to Mr. Zhao, as expected."

"It's my fault. I thought Mr. Zhao would come." Lin Ruolin sighed slightly. She didn't think enough.

"Li Xuan, you are a piece of trash. How dare you ruin my good deeds? I want you dead."

Suddenly, an angry voice rang out like thunder, accompanied by a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps, and a figure suddenly appeared.

It was Lin Haitao.

His face was extremely gloomy, his eyes were blazing, and he looked a little crazy.

I thought this time it would be foolproof and I could take back all the Lin family's assets, but I didn't expect that they were all destroyed by Li Xuan, and I failed at the last minute.

The grandfather he once revered so much has now become a clown, and his dream of dominating the Lin family has been shattered, and this plan has become ridiculous.

There is no doubt that their lineage will become a joke.

"Lin Haitao, don't mess around... Someone come here, come quickly." Lin Ruolin's face changed drastically and she called for the servants.

"I want you dead"

Lin Haitao roared and rushed towards Li Xuan.

"Be careful!" Lin Ruolin screamed, her face pale.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. He had been unhappy with the other party for a long time, and today he just happened to be in the right and wanted to teach him a lesson.

When Lin Haitao was about to rush over, he turned sideways, stretched out his straight arm and hit the opponent's chest hard, knocking him to the ground with such powerful force.

Before Lin Haitao could react, Li Xuan grabbed his hair, raised his knee and slammed it down.

Three times in a row, Lin Haitao was hit hard in the chest by Li Xuan's knee, each time accompanied by his wailing in agony. He collapsed to the ground, almost losing consciousness, and there was deathly silence all around him.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ruolin walked over and kept looking at Li Xuan, very worried.

"It's okay." Li Xuan's expression was gentle, but his brows were furrowed.

This body is still too weak and has no strength. In my previous life, I wouldn't even sweat a drop when doing this kind of movement, but now it hurts a bit.

"Miss, what's wrong? What happened?" The housekeeper heard the voice and hurried over with the servants.

Lin Ruolin looked at Lin Haitao, who was curled up on the ground and groaning, with a hint of disgust in her sympathetic eyes: "Take him down to see a doctor."

Soon, Lin Haitao was taken away by servants.

This little episode did not cause much stir, as if it had never happened.

"Li Xuan, you helped a lot this time. My father really wants to thank you in person. Let's have lunch together at noon," Lin Ruolin said in the corridor.

"OK"

Li Xuan nodded happily, but felt quite sad in his heart.

The original owner never sat at the main table until his death. The meal of a rich family is really not that delicious.

But he soon put this melancholy feeling behind him. He was not the original owner. Not only did he have to sit at the table to eat, but he also had to let his mother-in-law light his cigarette.

…………

The internal strife within the Lin family seems to be massive, but in fact it is limited to the Lin family, and the outside world is not interested in it at all.

There is only one exception, and that is Shopkeeper Zhu.

The Wang family is in the cloth business and has no involvement in restaurants. The reason they opened a restaurant was to defeat the Lin family using the method that the Lin family is best at.

Why do you do this?

No one knows.

Perhaps only the eldest young master of the Wang family knows.

It is precisely because of this that the Qingchun Restaurant and the manager Zhu came into being.

Only by defeating Lin’s Restaurant can Qingchun Restaurant take its place and continue to exist on Longque Street, and he can remain the shopkeeper forever.

Otherwise, the existence of the restaurant would be meaningless, and he would be reduced to his original form and become a useless subordinate.

When Shopkeeper Zhu learned that Shopkeeper Zhao had taken action, he was even more shocked than when his great uncle had lost.

You know, in the entire Qingfeng City, Shopkeeper Zhao is one of the most influential figures. It is impossible for the Lin family to be involved with him.

It is even more impossible to choose to offend the Wang family for the sake of a third-rate family.

But they did it anyway, openly and without concealing it at all.

There must be some secret here.

After some thought, Manager Zhu decided to tell the person behind him about this matter. After all, this matter was beyond his ability.

…………

Lin's house, backyard, after dinner.

On the bluestone path, a pair of lovers stood side by side, like a golden boy and a jade girl walking out of a painting.

Lin Ruolin was wearing an elegant green silk dress, the hem of which fluttered gently, as if carrying the gentlest spring breeze. A white jade hairpin was inserted in her hair, adding a touch of otherworldliness to her appearance.

Li Xuan was wearing a simple yet elegant green shirt, with an upright figure, handsome face, and an extraordinary demeanor between his eyebrows.

The two walked slowly, and Lin Ruolin's cheeks were quietly stained with a blush, like peach blossoms blooming in the morning light. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as soft and lively as butterfly wings.

"Be careful"

Just as she was shyly daydreaming, she stumbled without paying attention. Fortunately, Li Xuan supported her and she did not fall.

"Thank you"

Lin Ruolin felt him approaching, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and her hand that was being held wanted to break free.

But after trying several times, he still couldn't break free from that big hand.

Feeling the softness on his fingertips, Li Xuan smiled and said, "The servants must have just sprinkled water, so the road is a bit slippery. I'll hold your hand."

Lin Ruolin didn't say anything, but her other hand unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, her fingertips turning slightly white, revealing her inner panic and anticipation.

The warmth from the fingertips caused ripples in the hearts of both of them. A breeze blew by, causing their clothes to flutter. It seemed like the most harmonious scene between heaven and earth, making everything around them pale in comparison.

"I...I have something else to do...I'll leave first."

The backyard was so small that it only took a short walk to walk through it. In order to avoid being seen by the servants, Lin Ruolin hurriedly let go of her hand and walked away with a guilty conscience.

Leaving Li Xuan behind, watching this scene, the smile on his face became even brighter.

We've already held hands, so how far can a kiss be?

Immediately, the big promise his father-in-law had just made emerged in his mind. If he managed the restaurant well and helped the Lin family move to a higher level, then he would have a chance to be with Lin Ruolin.

To him, this was no cake at all.

The most difficult times have passed, and all that remains is just drizzle.

As he thought about it, his eyes became deep. It was time to free up his hands to deal with Qingchun Restaurant.
