Peerless Young Master

"Stop it!"

It suddenly sounded like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. They all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the source of the sound.

I saw a man dressed in brocade clothes, holding a closed fan in his hand, with a gloomy face walking towards me with big strides. He had an extraordinary demeanor and a dignified appearance, just like a nobleman.

Could he be the young master of a certain family?

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do.

"It's you, the son-in-law of the Lin family"

Someone recognized Li Xuan's identity.

"Oh, who was I thinking? It turns out to be you, the son-in-law." Then, everyone's expression changed from confusion and uneasiness to indifference and contempt.

He is just a son-in-law, a nobody who is not worthy of being shown on the stage, yet he dares to show off in front of them.

"How dare you come to the Lin's Restaurant and act wildly? You really think that there is no one in my Lin family, and you dare to humiliate me like this?"

Li Xuan's eyes were like torches as he scanned the entire room. An aura of majesty emerged spontaneously. He had not expected that these people would be so excessive and come to rob the restaurant again.

"It is only natural to pay back a debt. If you don't have money, just pay it back with something else. We are not afraid even if you report it to the police."

"that is"

"What can you say to a son-in-law? Hurry up and take it while it's valuable now. Once the restaurant goes bankrupt, these things will be worthless."

Everyone didn't take Li Xuan seriously at all and just took the valuables from the restaurant.

Debt collection?

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that his great uncle had fallen out with him and sent his branch to rob the restaurant.

"How much is it? I'll give it to you."

The words "I give" made the originally chaotic and noisy scene suddenly quiet down, and you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Ruolin's moist eyes also showed a hint of astonishment at this moment. She had no money, so where did the other party get the money?

"Ha ha"

"As a son-in-law, you rely on women to support you. How much money can you have?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, as if they had heard a huge joke.

The master family has no money to pay off the debt, so how much money can a son-in-law have?

"This is hundreds of taels of silver, not just a few taels. You should save the money you earn from selling your body to eat something good," someone mocked.

Li Xuan took out several silver bills from his arms and said: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, it's nothing; do you really think that others are the same as you, who treasure such a small amount of silver."

Li Xuan returned the same words to them again.

Compared to this extreme ridicule, everyone was even more shocked by the banknotes in his hand. Judging from the number, it was quite a lot.

Taking in the expressions of these people, Li Xuan continued, "Uncle Wang, take out the account books and receipts and calculate the total amount owed.

If you want to get the silver, line up and show your credentials, one by one.

If anything is found damaged in the restaurant, ten times the compensation will be paid."

Having said that, he gave all the banknotes to Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang looked at the banknotes, stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Xuan until the latter nodded. Then he took a deep breath, walked to the counter, and took out the account book and abacus.

This scene made everyone stand still.

After a while, someone hurriedly said, "I came here first, give it back to me first."

"Why? I was here first."

Soon, these people began to crowd together, vying to be the first in line.

Uncle Wang glanced at it and said calmly: "If you damage anything, you will be compensated tenfold. It's up to you."

After hearing this, everyone calmed down and lined up quietly.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Li Xuan spoke softly, reaching out to wipe the crystal tears from the corners of Lin Ruolin's eyes, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame.

Before that, Lin Ruolin was like duckweed in the wind, blown by the storm at will, even if she wanted to withstand the storm with great courage and perseverance.

But all this is in vain, like a lone boat, drifting helplessly in the raging waves, and being ruthlessly torn apart by the strong wind.

Until this moment, Li Xuan was like a god descending from heaven, and he could easily drive away the strong wind, calm the huge waves, blow away the dark clouds in the sky, and let the sun shine on the earth.

The worries and fears in my heart gradually disappeared.

Looking at Li Xuan's gentle appearance, she wanted to cry, wanted to cry loudly and vent all the grievances in her heart.

But she can't.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart.

"I'm fine, this has nothing to do with you." Lin Ruolin shook her head, took a step back, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

"Thank you for helping me today."

"We are husband and wife, so why would you say that I am helping you? If I get into trouble one day, I think you will help me in the same way."

"How do you have so much silver?" Lin Ruolin looked up with curiosity.

If it were before, this amount of money would have been a considerable expense for her.

But for the other party, even if he didn't eat or drink, these few years would not be enough to save so much money.

"I met a good man on the road, and he gave it to me," Li Xuan said lightly, not wanting to cause any complications or trouble.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Lin Ruolin realized that she had offended someone.

"It's okay, someone really gave it to me. Don't you know me? I'm honest, reliable, and law-abiding. If there really is any violation of the law, it's only others who are stealing from me, not me stealing from others."

Lin Ruolin agreed. Li Xuan was an honest and simple person. He would not do evil to others. He would read books and practice calligraphy when he had nothing to do. He was a scholar.

Most of the money given to him on a daily basis could not be spent.

How could such a person do anything illegal?

Maybe I really met a kind person.

"Hey, I finally got the money."

"Whoever said it wasn't, I would have thought it was another bad debt."

Everyone was beaming with joy as they looked at the banknotes in their hands. Several people would share one and when they got to the bank, they could exchange it for silver, which would then be distributed according to the amount.

"Everyone, you came to my restaurant, surrounded it, robbed it, drove away my customers, and ruined the restaurant's reputation. Now you take the money and want to leave. Don't you think too little of my Lin family?"

Lin Ruolin walked in front of the crowd, with the restaurant door behind her. Facing these people, her tone was calm and revealed an irresistible power.

this--

Someone said with a smile: "Miss, we were forced to do so and are sorry for causing you trouble. We would like to compensate you. We hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against us."

"Yes, we hope you can forgive us and not take it personally," everyone echoed.

"Of course I won't argue with you, but if everyone is like you, then where will the Lin family's reputation be?

"Then should I go to your store the next day and make a scene like this, then apologize and that's it?" Lin Ruolin said calmly, but her eyes became increasingly cold.

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, their eyes wandering. If this was the case, would they still be able to do business in the future?

"Miss, what do you say?"

"From now on, all payments for the goods you provide will be settled within two months, and the price will be 50% lower."

"This, this is a bit embarrassing."

"That's right, the price we give you is lower than others. If it's half a percent lower, what will we eat and drink?"

Faced with this proposal, everyone disagreed.

Before, the Lin family always paid off the balance within a month, which was more than half the time of others. Only then did they agree to a cheaper price for the goods.

Now not only is the payment delayed for a month, but the price is also lowered. Isn't this making things difficult for people?

Lin Ruolin's gaze swept across everyone like ice, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“For today’s matter, I will give you a choice.

Either you accept my conditions and we will continue to cooperate and prosper together; or, from today on, the Lin family’s door will be closed to you and there will be no possibility of cooperation.

Of course, I can also assure you that the Lin’s Restaurant business will be even more prosperous, far exceeding what it was before.”

After saying this, she moved away, revealing the restaurant's door.

Li Xuan looked at his wife with a smile on his face. She was so handsome...
