Peerless Young Master
Chapter 25: Contradictions Reappear
"Boss, I hear people talking about Lin's son-in-law everywhere I go. They're talking about him so passionately. Did something happen?"
Li Xuan came to a tea stall on the corner of the street, took out a few copper coins, and wanted to find out from the owner what the rumors about him were.
"Hey, I don't know either, but I heard that Li Xuan, the son-in-law of the Lin family, deliberately married into the Lin family in order to wipe out the family," the boss explained. He also heard these words.
Li Xuan was a little surprised: "No way, last time I heard someone say that this person is very powerful. Not only did he make hot pot and roast duck, but he also knew the owner of Zhenxiu Tower and helped Patriarch Lin to secure his position as Patriarch."
"You don't understand, don't you? The Lin family only has one daughter. Whoever gets her will own the entire family fortune in the future.
Just think about it, an ordinary son-in-law suddenly becomes smart and powerful, especially when the Lin family is in crisis. Anyone would find it strange.
"But I heard that Lin's Restaurant and Qingchun Restaurant are at odds. Could it be that they are secretly spreading rumors and maliciously slandering Li Xuan?"
"Who knows? We don't know whether it's true or not, but there's no smoke without fire. However, I still think there's something wrong with this Li Xuan. Why would he marry into the family when he's so powerful?"
The boss said it casually, and when he saw the customer coming, he turned around to greet him.
Li Xuan sighed inwardly, thinking that this was just a way of making a fuss about his cooking ability.
Yes, if you want to become a chef, you have to be an apprentice for more than ten years, and then spend another five or six years cooking at the stove.
All in all, if you want to become a qualified chef, you have to be at least 30 years old.
Even Master Hai, who has been cooking for half his life, has to bow his head in front of Han San, let alone a young man like him.
The craftsmanship alone is questionable.
Now, Li Xuan finally understood why Lin Ruolin was dissatisfied with him just now. It was indeed suspicious to hear any rumors.
But this also made him a little unhappy. He had been working hard for the restaurant wholeheartedly without any selfish motives, but in return he was suspected by the other party. How could he really not care?
"Forget it, the innocent will be innocent, there is no point in thinking about it anymore."
Li Xuan's brows were furrowed, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure, drank the tea in the bowl, stood up and left the tea stall, walking towards the Lin Mansion.
The streets are still bustling with people.
On a road, three people were squatting, wearing coarse linen clothes and hats, their eyes like wild wolves constantly looking at the passers-by.
One of them had his eyes lit up, as if he had seen prey, and whispered, "Boss, look at that man, he's well-dressed, he must be from a wealthy family, and he doesn't have any followers around him, so it's a perfect time to attack him."
The man called the boss was named Xiao Yidao. He looked up and said, "Yes, that's him. Follow him."
"Dad, there is a tail." Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded.
When they looked over, they saw four people appearing stealthily behind the young man in brocade clothes, obviously with bad intentions.
"Dad, this looks like revenge, should we continue?"
Xiao Yidao didn't say anything and continued to look at the people in front of him.
"Sir, please have mercy on me; I haven't eaten for several days."
"Sir, please be kind."
In the corner, two beggars, dressed in rags and with sallow complexions, squatted on the ground, holding a yellowed bamboo pole in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, swinging it back and forth.
I hope that passers-by on the street can be kind enough to give me some food or some coins.
Li Xuan was in a low mood and was distracted by the beggar. He looked at the two of them with a ripple in his eyes. He took out a small copper coin from his sleeve and put it in the other's broken bowl.
"Thank you, thank you"
The two beggars were overjoyed. They grabbed the hundred coins tightly and ran away. This amount of money was enough for a full meal.
Not far behind him, a young man said, "Dad, what should we do now?"
"I thought he was a playboy, but he turned out to be a kind-hearted man. Well, since we've met, let's do a good deed and help him out.
We cannot let kind-hearted people be bullied, otherwise there will be no more good people in this world."
As they spoke, the three of them followed.
On the other side, Li Xuan walked into an alley. Before he had walked a few meters, two people suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him, and there were two people behind him.
"Zhu Da"
Li Xuan stopped and when he saw who was coming from the opposite side, his eyes fixed, his heart sank, and he began to look around.
It was obvious that the other party was here to cause trouble. If there was only one person, he could still fight back, but now there were four people, and he was simply not able to deal with them.
"Boy, I meet you again. Let's see how you can escape this time." Zhu Da showed a cruel smile, ferocious teeth, and dragged a wolf alive.
"You dare to attack me, aren't you afraid that the Lin family will cause trouble for you?"
"Haha, you can't even protect yourself, yet you still rely on the Lin family, how ridiculous!"
Obviously, Zhu Da also heard the rumors.
"I'm friends with the owner of Zhenxiulou, Zhao. If you dare to cause me trouble, he won't let you go. You know how powerful he is. Killing you is like crushing an ant."
Li Xuan brought out the big Buddha statue of Manager Zhao, hoping to intimidate the other party.
"Hmph, Manager Zhao is such a big shot, how could he know a loser like you?" Zhu Da didn't believe it at all and said viciously: "Follow me, I will beat you to death."
After saying that, several people behind him approached Li Xuan, rubbing their hands, eager to try.
Seeing several people approaching, Li Xuan's heart sank and his body retreated slightly. He thought about taking action first, but he quickly rejected the idea.
He is not a martial arts master, nor has he practiced martial arts. He is weak to begin with. If these people rush over, he will be trapped and become a prey.
Suddenly, Li Xuan remembered something and pointed forward: "Officer, help, these people want to kill me."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Da and his group's faces changed drastically. They turned around quickly, but found that there was no one behind them. Only then did they realize that they had been deceived.
When he came to his senses, his eyes widened with anger and became more and more ferocious: "Kill him for me."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan lifted the corner of his clothes and tied it around his waist, took a few steps back and then suddenly jumped forward, with one foot on the wall and both hands on the top of the wall.
Climb over the wall and leave.
A few younger brothers also tried to imitate him, but they didn't master the technique well and couldn't get over it at all.
"Trash, useless things, get out of here!"
Zhu Da walked over, rubbing his palms together, and ran forward. One of his feet hit the wall, and he used too much force and fell down.
"You two squat down."
After a while, Zhu Da stepped on his younger brother's shoulders and climbed over the wall.
The remaining brothers had a hard time. They had to work very hard to climb over the wall.
As a result, several screams were heard from the other side of the wall. It was obvious that someone jumped down and lost his balance and fell down.
'A bit smart'
Hiding in the dark and watching everything happening here, Xiao Yidao was somewhat satisfied with Li Xuan's performance.
"Tsk, they're just a few thugs, I can beat them off with one hand," another young man who looked somewhat like Xiao Yidao disagreed.
"He is just a scholar. It is amazing that he can achieve this by relying on his intelligence. This is called wisdom.
Fighting and killing are useful in the mountains, but when you come down the mountain, fighting is useless. You need to have brains," said Xiao Yidao.
"If you can let him escape from my hands, I will consider him powerful." The young man disagreed even more, believing that the one with the bigger fist was the real boss.
"Boss, look, there's movement."
At this time, another middle-aged man watched a pair of hands appear on the top of the wall.
