Peerless Young Master

Chapter 23 The Troubles Resurface

Deep in the Wang family mansion, Tingyunxuan is quiet and elegant, with light gauze dancing outside the carved wooden windows and a gentle breeze.

At this time, an ancient man wearing a brocade robe was sitting in the pavilion, holding a book in his hand, and the teapot on the table was still steaming.

He had a handsome face, and an extraordinary aura was revealed between his eyebrows. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his nose was high, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, giving him an indescribable sense of dignity and indifference.

It was Wang Yunfei, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, who was also the one who attacked the Lin family.

A familiar figure stood outside the pavilion, with his head lowered, his body slightly hunched, his expression tense and humble, as if he was very afraid of the person in front of him.

After a while, Wang Yunfei put down the book and said slowly: "You mean we lost, completely lost to Lin's Restaurant"?

The voice was very soft and sounded gentle, but Shopkeeper Zhu was shocked and felt cold all over. He quickly explained:

"Master, it's all that son-in-law's fault. If he hadn't somehow known Shopkeeper Zhao, the Lin family would have been wiped out long ago, and the Lin's Restaurant would no longer exist."

"I've already asked, that person used the hot pot recipe to exchange for a chance for Shopkeeper Zhao to escape, there's no connection between the two."

"Master, I have already made plans. Han San alone can't change anything. But that son-in-law has so many tricks up his sleeve, and every dish is very popular.

As a last resort, I imitated every one of his dishes, changed the names, and lowered the prices. I thought I would beat them.

"I didn't expect them to resort to such underhanded tactics, saying everywhere that Qingchun Restaurant was a copycat and had no class, which is why no one came to dine here," explained Shopkeeper Zhu.

There was a brief silence in the air. Wang Yunfei threw the book in his hand on the table and snorted coldly: "Stupid."

Shopkeeper Zhu's back bent a little more and his head lowered even more.

“People who can go to Longque Street to eat are all well-off. Going to a restaurant to eat is just for the sake of face.

But you, on the other hand, just copied everything without changing it at all. Do you think those people can't afford it?

The restaurant has a bad reputation and has been accused of plagiarism. These people can't even hide away, so how can anyone come here?" Wang Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly, a little angry.

"Master, please calm down. There is nothing I can do. That son-in-law is just too powerful," Shopkeeper Zhu explained again.

Wang Yunfei said nothing, his eyes slightly fixed, his black and white eyes turned a few times, revealing a hint of curiosity: "Is the son-in-law's craftsmanship really so amazing?"

"He is really amazing, just like a master with decades of experience, otherwise I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure." Shopkeeper Zhu was in tears.

"Have you investigated this person's background?"

The chef of Qingchun Restaurant is a master chef who has been employed by Lin's Restaurant for more than ten years, so his skills are naturally impeccable.

How could a mere son-in-law, only twenty years old, acquire skills better than those of a restaurant chef?

Even Mr. Zhao wouldn't dare to say that he could have such exquisite skills at his age.

"I've already investigated. He's just an ordinary person. He's been married into the Lin family for over two years and has remained unknown.

But recently, especially with the internal strife within the Lin family, he's become a completely different person. Not only did he force the Lin family's great uncle to retreat, he also brought out one delicious dish after another. It's really strange."

It was precisely because he was a useless son-in-law that Manager Zhu did not take him seriously.

But when he looked around, Qingchun Restaurant was about to go bankrupt.

The speed was so fast that he had no time to react at all.

“It’s a bit suspicious.”

Wang Yunfei's eyes flickered. After two years of silence, the Lin family lost power and suddenly became smart. He didn't believe that there was no problem.

Wang Yunfei remained silent, his eyes as sharp as cold stars, penetrating the veil, as if he could see through all the hypocrisy and cunning in the world.

It took a whole cup of tea for the corners of his mouth to relax, and he said lightly: "Since we all feel something is strange, why not give the Lin family a headache."

Shopkeeper Zhu was a little bewildered: "Master, what do you mean..."

"A clever man, pretending to be an ordinary person, married into the Lin family. When the Lin family was in a critical situation, he suddenly took action, turned the tide, and took the opportunity to gain the favor of the Lin family.

Tell me, if this person harbors evil intentions and takes the opportunity to annex the Lin family, what would the head of the Lin family think?

"Hiss, if that's the case, Patriarch Lin will naturally be unable to sleep. He will definitely be on guard against Li Xuan and won't let him interfere in the restaurant's affairs."

"Let's not take action on this matter, let those people from the Lin family take action."

"Yes, young master," Shopkeeper Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zixu will be leaving in a month." As he said that, Wang Yunfei picked up the book again and started reading.

Shopkeeper Zhu felt a sinking feeling in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. There was only one month left.

Either destroy the Lin’s Restaurant or be abandoned.

He bowed and turned to leave.

I couldn't wait to come to my great uncle's place.

This made the great uncle a little curious. He had already lost and was no longer of value. The Wang family's promise naturally did not count. Why did the other party come here at this time?

"Shopkeeper Zhu, long time no see"

"Thank you for being so polite, great uncle. I came here to ask for your help."

After some pleasantries, Shopkeeper Zhu continued, "I came here this time to continue cooperating with my great uncle and completely destroy the Lin's Restaurant."

"Manager Zhu should have heard about what happened in the conference room that day. I have already been defeated and have no qualifications to compete for the position of head of the family." The uncle's face looked a little unnatural.

"I've already asked the eldest young master. Shopkeeper Zhao's appearance was because Li Xuan offered him the hot pot recipe in exchange for a chance to make a move. There's only one chance. There's no connection between the two of them."

"Even so, those people will not support me anymore."

"Granduncle, the reason we failed is all because of one person."

A person.

Li Xuan.

If it weren't for this person, Great Uncle would have long ago seized the position of the head of the family and taken control of all the Lin family's assets. How could he have ended up like a stray dog ​​today?

Thinking of this, the old face of the great uncle was covered with clouds, the wrinkles seemed to deepen a little, and his eyes flashed with a mixture of unwillingness and anger.

He looked at the other party: "Could it be that Manager Zhu came here this time with some countermeasures?"

Shopkeeper Zhu laughed heartily, "Grandfather Taishu, do you find it strange that a son-in-law who has always been unknown has suddenly become so powerful at this critical moment, forcing our two families to retreat step by step?

Even the head of the Lin family cannot do this."

"You mean there's something wrong with Li Xuan's identity?" Great Uncle guessed, stroking his beard.

"There must be something wrong, otherwise how could it become so powerful?"

"So what if that's the case? How can we attack him based on this speculation alone?"

"A clever and calculating man married into the Lin family. He had been acting dull for two years, but when the Lin family was in trouble, he turned the tide and won the favor of everyone in the family.

You said that if this person harbors evil intentions, it would only take a moment for him to seize the opportunity to swallow up the Lin family." Shopkeeper Zhu said leisurely.

Yes.

How can a son-in-law be so powerful?

It must be fake.

So what is the purpose?

Naturally, he married into the Lin family under the pretext of marrying into the family.

Thinking of this, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in the uncle's eyes. It was a close call.

If the other party had not come this time, he would not have thought of this.

"Granduncle, if we drive Li Xuan away, the restaurant will be ours. You will be the new head of the family, and the promise made by the young master will still count."

"Since you have come up with a solution, why don't you do it yourself?" Great Uncle was puzzled.

"If we take action, it will be a conspiracy. Everyone will think that I am deliberately discrediting Li Xuan. But if you take action, it will be different."

Soon, the two hit it off.

After Manager Zhu left, the uncle called Lin Haitao and told him the plan.

Let him find some people to spread the news in the streets and teahouses, making sure everyone knows about it.

Especially Lin Ruolin, we need to whisper some words in her ears.

Soon, seven or eight people walked out of the uncle's mansion, facing in all directions, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
