Peerless Young Master

"What's wrong with you? Li Xuan is clearly a wolf with evil intentions. He pretended to be stupid to gain your trust. His goal is to seize the Lin family's assets.

Uncle, my cousin doesn't understand. Are you also confused by Li Xuan?"

"Cousin, think about it, people outside are saying that you have offended the Wang family, but have you really offended the Wang family?

There must be something wrong here. I am sure that it was Li Xuan who was secretly doing something to put the Lin family in crisis. He took the opportunity to make a move to make you grateful and gain your trust, so as to take over the restaurant.

I've heard that he's dissatisfied with Han San and even wanted to drive him away in front of everyone. His intentions are sinister."

"And that Shopkeeper Zhao, with his status, has countless delicacies at Zhenxiu Restaurant, any one of which is better than hot pot. Why would he help Li Xuan just for a hot pot?

If I'm not mistaken, all of this was the idea of ​​the person behind this person.

You must not be fooled and ruin the Lin family's decades of foundation."

There are such people in this world.

When it comes to fighting, he can't beat others alone.

When it comes to cooking, he doesn’t even know how to light the stove.

When it comes to doing business, it's even more of a mess.

But when it comes to plotting and sabotaging others, he is a top-notch expert.

There is a saying that goes, I may not be able to make a restaurant business successful, but it will only take a few minutes to close it down.

I'm talking about people like Lin Haitao.

Ever since he learned about Li Xuan's strange identity and what he was going to do next from his great uncle, he has been trying to take revenge on Li Xuan and also for the identity of the eldest young master.

Lin Haitao worked hard to say bad things about Li Xuan in Lin Ruolin's ear, and even the head of the Lin family came several times.

The main point is that if you don’t believe it, I will come a few more times.

If you say it enough, you will definitely believe it.

Hence, the righteous and indignant words just now happened.

The head of the Lin family remained silent, with a hint of annoyance in his expression. It was obvious that he was a little unhappy that Lin Haitao came again.

He had known for a long time that Li Xuan's identity was problematic, and he could even recite every word about the rumor.

But he still hadn't made up his mind, because the other party had indeed done a great favor to the Lin family.

If he is driven away without solid evidence, he will be in trouble if the news gets out.

Lin Ruolin also pursed her lips, frowned, and her eyes flickered, appearing to be worried.

Although she was on Li Xuan's side, the rumors and what she saw all showed that there was really something wrong with Li Xuan.

Trading the hot pot recipe for Manager Zhao's help can be explained.

The emergence of hot pot can also explain this.

But what about the dozen or so delicious dishes that follow?

She had never even heard of it, but Li Xuan made it.

How to explain the craftsmanship that is comparable to that of a master craftsman?

And where did the several hundred taels of silver come from when he helped her settle the Lin family’s debt last time?

How do you explain this?

There were too many inexplicable things that made it impossible for her to ignore what Lin Haitao said, and she was wavering in her heart.

"Cousin, uncle, please don't think I'm nagging. I'm also a member of the Lin family, and I'm wholeheartedly devoted to the family.

There's something fishy about Li Xuan. I know he's indebted to the Lin family, but what if he did this on purpose?"

Lin Haitao looked at the silence of the few people. The conflicted expressions on their faces clearly showed that they had taken his words to heart, so he attacked again, determined to make the two of them no longer trust Li Xuan.

Suddenly, he glanced and saw a figure appear outside, who looked familiar.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Li Xuan.

This made his eyes light up, and he said loudly: "Li Xuan is right there, let's go ask him in person"

Having said that, he left first.

In just thirty seconds, he came to Li Xuan and questioned him, "Li Xuan, if you are a man, tell me honestly, is it you who did what happened to the Lin family?

You pretended to be stupid and married into the Lin family, are you trying to get the Lin family property?"

Li Xuan looked at the other party calmly, and glanced at the two people behind him. Seeing their eyes full of curiosity, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Huh, you're still pretending.

If it weren't for you, how could you have saved the Lin family from the dire straits? Don't tell me you don't know who is behind the Qingchun Restaurant.

It's not you. How are you going to pay back the Lin family for the goods? That's several hundred taels of silver.

You are only in your twenties, how is it possible that you have skills comparable to Han San's?

This means that you already have such a powerful skill, but you deliberately hid it in order to control the restaurant, right?" Lin Haitao kept questioning.

"Why would I pretend? If you hadn't pressed me so hard, why would I cooperate with Manager Zhao?" Li Xuan glanced at Lin Haitao, then looked at the two people behind him:

"I have never had any other thoughts about the Lin family. This is obviously a rumor. In my opinion, my great uncle is still harboring evil intentions and is colluding with outsiders to drive me away so that he can attack the restaurant again."

"Li Xuan, you are really going too far. My grandfather has always stayed at home, and you dare to slander him." Lin Haitao was furious and was about to attack.

But he was frightened by Li Xuan's eyes, and then he remembered that he was no match for his opponent.

The memory of being beaten so bitterly last time came back to him again, which made him feel a little scared and he shrank back.

"That's enough. I have my own judgment on this matter. Let's stop here," said the head of the Lin family, ending the farce.

"Uncle..." Lin Haitao wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Haitao, I have my own decision on this matter. Let's stop here. Don't use this matter to cause any more disputes."

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Li Xuan glanced at Lin Ruolin and then followed.

“There are only two of us here, and since you are a smart person, I won’t say any more nonsense;

Is this rumor true? You married Ruolin because you really had ulterior motives. "Mrs. Lin decided to be frank.

"My father-in-law said it was just a rumor, how could a rumor be true?"

"There is no smoke without fire. I don't believe what Haitao said, but I have to believe it. You are so suspicious. I can't take risks with the Lin family and Ruolin."

"So what does my father-in-law plan to do?"

Shopkeeper Zhao agreed to exchange the hot pot recipe for a while. Perhaps he was interested not only in the recipe, but also in other things that interested him.

The money used to help the Lin family pay off the debt was obtained from Lin Haitao;

His cooking skills, which were comparable to those of a master chef, were also acquired through continuous training in his previous life.

But, these cannot be said out loud, and even if they are said, no one will believe them.

"You helped the restaurant, I won't let you suffer any loss. I will give you some money and let Ruolin write a letter of divorce, and you can leave.

If you are truly innocent, then stay home, don't get involved in the restaurant or other businesses, and be a good son-in-law."

The head of the Lin family offered two options: either leave or stay.

But no matter which choice he made, it was clear that he had already believed the rumors in his heart and was wary of Li Xuan.

Ha ha.

Li Xuan wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that after paying so much, he would be rewarded with groundless suspicion.

There was a trace of pain in my heart, and an indescribable emotion surged in my chest, including anger, unwillingness, and an indescribable emotion.

Seems relieved.

He spoke slowly: "Does Ruolin know about this?"

"I am the master of the Lin family"

A simple sentence, filled with unquestionable attitude.

"Okay, give me the divorce letter. I will leave tomorrow morning and have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore."

After saying this, Li Xuan's eyes became extremely cold, a tear appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he turned and walked away without stopping.
