Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Xin patiently continued to ask, "What does Young Master Wang think?"

This restaurant was something Wang Yuan had longed for and finally managed to acquire. Now, before he even had a chance to use it, he was forced to hand it over to someone else. He couldn't be more reluctant to part with it.

His face was all smiles as he chuckled and said, "Miss Fang, today's matter is truly a huge misunderstanding!"

As he spoke, he once again turned his accusations to Fang Ling, who was lying on the ground, and accused her fiercely: "It's all because of this slut who seduced me! She was determined to marry me as a concubine, and she even stole your family's precious recipes behind my back to curry favor with me and claim credit. I had no idea about any of this beforehand. As the saying goes, ignorance is no excuse, right, Aunt Fang?"

At this moment, Fang Ling, who had been extremely agitated, seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she was no longer as hysterical as before.

She seemed to have lost all hope, no longer offering any rebuttal or resistance to Wang Yuan's sharp accusations. She simply lowered her head silently, wiping away her tears that kept rolling down her face, without any other action or reaction.

Fang Xin, standing to the side, saw everything. She knew perfectly well what Wang Yuan was planning.

So, without changing her expression, she casually strolled to the window, gently pushed it open, glanced outside, and then said indifferently, "The rain has stopped."

Completely ignoring Wang Yuan, whose face was ashen, she turned to Fu Zhou beside her and said softly, "Since this young master Wang does not acknowledge the breach of contract, I will trouble you to make the trip and ask the governor to come over. I also want to see with my own eyes what kind of punishment this conspiracy to steal will receive."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan was immediately alarmed and shouted, "Second Miss Fang! Wait!"

However, at this moment, there was no trace of anger on his face; instead, his face was filled with a fawning and ingratiating smile.

He hurriedly continued, "This whole thing was just a misunderstanding from beginning to end. It's all my bad luck and I met the wrong person, which led to this mess. How about we find another way to resolve this?"

He thought Fang Xin was just a poor girl who had never seen the world, and that he could easily get rid of her with some money.

Meanwhile, Fang Xin leaned leisurely against the window, leaving Wang Yuan with a cold and indifferent back view.

All that could be heard was her clear, cold, and resolute voice, leaving no room for negotiation: "Young Master Wang, you have no choice now. Either you obediently abide by the breach of contract terms, or we can only hand it over to the authorities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xin, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned around and smiled at Wang Yuan.

That smile was as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring, and she looked incredibly gentle and kind.

But for some reason, it makes people feel that there is some hidden meaning, giving the illusion that Fang Xin seems easy to talk to, but in reality she is not willing to give an inch.

Wang Yuan knew perfectly well that he would never give up the shop, nor would he allow Fang Xin to report it to the authorities, since it was just such a trivial matter.

If they can save face, then even if the Wang family spends more money to bribe officials, it's just a small matter and not a big deal at all.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the strong family background that Wang Yuan has such confidence.

He leisurely opened the folding fan in his hand and pressed it firmly against his abdomen.

At the same time, his tone became somewhat somber: "Miss Fang, are you really determined to do this? Do you really want to completely break ties with me, Wang?"

Fang Xin, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm and composed. She gazed at Wang Yuan with an air of nonchalance, without revealing even the slightest hint of fear in her eyes.

On the contrary, her face showed a detached and indifferent expression, as if everything happening in front of her had nothing to do with her.

A cold laugh filled with disdain came from her nose.

Wang Yuan never expected that he would be instantly enraged by her cold laugh.

So, with the same disdain on his face, he replied without any politeness: "Let's put aside the value of this restaurant for now. Just earlier, if it weren't for the sake of that Inspector, how dare you three, mother and daughters, be so arrogant and domineering in front of our Wang family? You were simply overestimating yourselves to the extreme!"

"Is that so?" Fang Xin's dismissive words had barely faded when she caught a glimpse of two figures walking side by side, hurrying along the wet street after the rain.

She slightly raised her chin, her gaze fixed straight down, and called out in a clear, melodious voice, "Your Excellency, where are you headed in such a hurry?"

Just then, the two people who happened to be standing under the window heard the sudden shout and instinctively looked up.

Xiao Lanzhi's originally calm eyes lit up the moment he saw Fang Xin, but were quickly replaced by a hint of doubt.

He first carefully looked around the inn, then turned to Mo Shisan behind him and asked uncertainly, "Shisan, am I seeing things? This is clearly an inn, so why is Miss Fang here?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shisan instinctively reached out and scratched his head, swallowing hard as he did so, and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Master, you are not mistaken, it is indeed Miss Fang Er."

Having said that, he couldn't help but glance at the inn before him, his heart filled with the same confusion and curiosity. He muttered to himself, "Yes, this is strange. Why would Miss Fang be here..."

Seeing the two somewhat dazed masters and servants, Fang Xin couldn't help but think to herself, "This Lord Xiao must have gotten the position of governor of Qingshan City by virtue of that Lord Xiao, right?"

She suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and smiled gently, "If Lord Xiao has time, please come up for a cup of tea. I was just about to come looking for you."

"I cannot refuse Miss Fang's invitation."

Xiao Jingqi turned around and walked into the inn.

Wang Yuan stood still. Although he clearly heard Fang Xin's conversation with the people outside, he didn't take it seriously. He thought Fang Xin was bluffing. How could the governor happen to pass by so conveniently, and how could he come up for tea just because of a single sentence from her?
