Chapter 129: The Creditor Arrives

Shen Ningyuan was stunned by Lao Guai's sudden change of expression.

But the other person was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse him.

Pointing to a corner, "Just move to that spot."

"Okay!"

Lao Guai rolled up his sleeves and quickly moved his favorite iris orchid to the corner where Shen Ningyuan pointed.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yunnuo's mouth twitched.

Good god, he didn’t even know that Lao Guai had such a flattering side.

After Lao Guai moved the flowers away, he walked up to Chen Ningyuan flatteringly and asked, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Not for now, go and get busy first."

"Okay!"

Lao Guai turned around and went back to the counter.

Ji Yunnuo didn’t expect him to listen to Shen Ningyuan so much.

You have to know that before this, whenever he asked Lao Guai to do something, Lao Guai always made excuses.

What happened today can be postponed to next month.

Now……

He is a little bit abnormal in being obedient.

Shen Ningyuan continued to look around the restaurant, and Wen Bo moved behind Ji Yunnuo.

He whispered, "Master, the young lady is really rude. As soon as you said you would give the restaurant to her, she immediately put herself in the role of the boss."

"It's okay, as long as she likes it." Ji Yunnuo said in a light tone.

"Also, this old man is really something. I've never seen him so obedient before. Why is he so well behaved like a grandson in front of the young lady?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunnuo's expression immediately changed and he glared at Lao Guai unhappily.

But Lao Guai only had his eyes on the new boss, Shen Ningyuan. No matter how Ji Yunnuo glared at him, he remained indifferent.

He even glared back, warning Ji Yunnuo not to disturb him.

Ji Yunnuo: “…”

After Shen Ningyuan looked around the restaurant, she walked up to Ji Yunnuo and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, I like this Ningle Tower very much." Chen Ningyuan said bluntly: "When will the deposit be passed?"

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so anxious. Why don't we finish talking about the cooperation first and then sign the mortgage?" Ji Yunnuo said.

Shen Ningyuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it now?"

"Sister-in-law is really impatient." Ji Yunnuo said with a half-smile: "When I proposed to cooperate with sister-in-law before, sister-in-law refused in every possible way. I thought I would never have the chance to cooperate with sister-in-law in this life."

Shen Ningyuan shrugged indifferently: "I can't help it. You are so sincere. If I don't hurry up and agree, I'm afraid you will suddenly regret it."

"Then, let's talk upstairs?" Ji Yunnuo invited.

"good."

Shen Ningyuan followed Ji Yunnuo upstairs.

Seeing Lan Yin and Lu Ying trying to catch up, Wen Bo quickly stepped forward to stop them: "The master and the young mistress have important matters to discuss, so you two should not disturb them, okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan turned around and looked at Lan Yin and Lu Ying: "You wait for me downstairs."

Lan Yin nodded hesitantly, "Then I and Lu Ying will wait for the young lady downstairs."

After saying that, Lan Yin took Lu Ying and walked to a table nearby and sat down.

Shen Ningyuan retracted her gaze and followed Ji Yunnuo upstairs.

Ji Yunnuo jokingly said: "My sister-in-law's two maids are so well-behaved and obedient."

"There is no other way. I am isolated and helpless in the Ji family. Do I have to train two obedient maids?" Shen Ningyuan's words hinted at something.

Ji Yunnuo understood what she said and said with a smile: "It's okay, sister-in-law, you won't be alone anymore."

"I hope so."

After that, the two of them walked into an elegant room, one in front and one behind.

When Shen Ningyuan walked in, Ji Yunnuo closed the door indifferently.

-

On the other side, the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion was shrouded in haze.

Ji Zehai frowned and sat angrily in the main seat.

Chen sat aside, wiping her tears with a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

"My lord, what should we do? The funeral just ended and these shops came here to settle the balance. Where do we have so much money to settle the balance with them?" Chen said in a crying voice.

Ji Zehai was already irritable, and hearing Chen crying so loudly, his anger grew even worse.

Chen continued to cry, "My Lord, what do you think we should do? Are we just going to let those shop owners wait outside the door?"

"That's enough!" Ji Zehai slammed the table heavily: "Can you please stop crying? You are crying so loudly, can you make those people outside cry away?"

Chen's neck shrank, she looked at Ji Zehai in fear, and slowly stopped crying.

Ji Zehai thought of something and suddenly asked, "Where is Chen Ningyuan? Such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion, why didn't she even show up as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ji family?"

Butler Xu stepped forward and said cautiously, "My Lord, I haven't seen the young mistress leave the house since this morning. She is probably still resting in the courtyard."

"Rest!" Ji Zehai slammed the table again and said angrily: "Such a big commotion in the front yard, can't she hear it in Xiyuanju? Go to Xiyuanju quickly and call Shen Ningyuan out!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

Butler Xu responded tremblingly and turned to walk towards Xiyuanju.

Chen asked tremblingly: "My Lord, if you call Shen Ningyuan out, will she pay the money?"

"This is the money for Yunchuan's funeral. As Yunchuan's widow, she has no choice but to spend it!" Ji Zehai said expressionlessly.

"But..." Chen hesitated to speak.

Based on her understanding of Shen Ningyuan, she would definitely not pay this money.

"No buts!" Ji Zehai's expression became colder and colder: "As soon as Shen Ningyuan comes out, let those people outside in and force this mess to her!

"……good."

Seeing Ji Zehai's insistence, Chen had no choice but to agree.

At this time, Manager Xu came running hurriedly from behind the corridor, shouting anxiously as he ran.

"My Lord, the young mistress is here—ah!"

Manager Xu ran so hurriedly that he tripped and fell to the ground before he could finish his words.

Ji Zehai's face suddenly became overjoyed, he stood up eagerly, and said excitedly: "Chen Ningyuan is here, quickly open the door and let those shop people in!"

At Ji Zehai's command, the gatekeeper opened the door of the Marquis' Mansion without any hesitation.

As soon as the door was opened, the debt collectors outside immediately rushed in aggressively.

The one rushing to the front was Shen the Butcher, the owner of the largest butcher shop in the capital.

He brandished the butcher knife in his hand, rushed to Ji Zehai with a ferocious face, and slammed the IOU on the table: "Lord Ji, when will you pay me back for the pork you owe me? You said you would pay me back after the funeral, but why haven't you done anything? You still have to ask us to come and collect the debt?"

Other creditors echoed this:

"Lord Ji, it's been delayed for so long. You promised before that you would give us the money after the funeral. Why is there no movement at all? The Ji family is not going to default on the debt, right?"

"Yes, we are also a small business, and our family is still waiting for food. The Ji family is a noble family after all, they won't really owe us money, right?"

"You can't delay any longer, you must pay back the money today!"

"Pay back the money! Pay back the money! Pay back the money..."

For a moment, the hall was noisy and in chaos.

Facing such a scene, Ji Zehai stood up slowly and said calmly: "Everyone, please be patient!"

"My Ji family has always been trustworthy, and I, Ji Zehai, am ashamed of not keeping my word!"

"It is only natural to pay back your debts! If you don't pay back your debts, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Ji Zehai's words were so powerful that the creditors all quieted down and waited for his next words.

Ji Zehai sneered, pointed in the direction of the corridor entrance, and shouted: "Everyone's debt will be repaid by my daughter-in-law Shen Ningyuan. She has come out, everyone can ask her for money directly!"
