"Boss lady." Zhou Xiang put on a polite smile.

"Miss Zhou, I just saw someone who looked like you across the street, so I came over to try my luck."

"Across the street? Is that new building yours?"

"Yes, the place was too small before. During this renovation, we bought the alleyway next to it. The first floor is all a hall, which can accommodate at least 10 tables, and the upstairs are all private rooms."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you! I also want to thank Miss Zhou. You dined at our Sijiqing restaurant and took photos with us. This has increased the reputation of our restaurant, and we are now flocking to it."

Zhou Xiang's smile faded. "Are you using me for publicity?"

The proprietress was startled and quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, no, I just hung the photo in the lobby."

"It's just like using my name for publicity." Zhou Xiang's smile completely disappeared.

The proprietress was stunned. Was she hitting the horse's hoof?

Seeing the boss lady's panic, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his tone, "You are not allowed to hang up the photo anymore. You are not allowed to use the fact that I ate at your restaurant as a gimmick to the outside world.

Your actions have directly damaged my interests and reputation. I will let you go. You should take care of yourself and learn more about legal knowledge, especially about infringing on the rights of others.

Don't even think about doing this behind my back. If something goes wrong, my reputation will be damaged, and the compensation for my mental damages will bankrupt you, or even put you in jail. Go back and find out more! Goodbye!

He turned around and left with Lu Jing, leaving the proprietress exposed to the sun.

"Sister-in-law, did she offend you?"

Zhou Xiang didn't even turn around. "Regardless of whether she's offended me before or not, she's infringing on my rights by using me for publicity. I took her photo as a souvenir, not for publicity. Publicity has to be paid for, understand?"

"Then why don't you just take shares of her restaurant?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "First, I don't want to have much contact with her. Second, if I hold shares, she will promote it more vigorously and the business will be better. I don't like that. Third, if something goes wrong with the entrance of the restaurant, I will be responsible. Why should I let her make money and then take the blame for her? She is not my relative.

I don't want to run a restaurant because I don't want to worry about these troubles. Why should I bring trouble upon myself? "

Lv Jing finally understood why the second to seventh floors of the mall were rented out, even to the person her sister-in-law hated the most. "I understand. Do you want someone to keep an eye on this area?"

"No, this person is only interested in profit, but she is also timid and a bully."

As they were talking, the two had already turned left to Huihe Road. This section of Huihe Road was only 200 meters long, and the intersection ahead was the intersection with Zhongxing Road.

This intersection is the oldest street in Huai County, and also the busiest connecting street. It is one of the main streets in Huai County.

The buildings on both sides have been completed, and the sounds of electric drills and cutting machines can be heard everywhere. They should be the businesses and residents doing renovations.

After strolling downstairs to his aunt's new house, Zhou Xiang planned to go upstairs to see his aunt. The elevator door opened and it was Dong Yunyue who walked out.

"Aunt."

Dong Yunyue was in a trance, not knowing what she was thinking. She didn't even notice the people at the elevator door. The word "Auntie" woke her up and also brought back tears. "Think about it."

"Auntie," Zhou Xiang took her arm, "Where are you planning to go?"

"I, I'm going out for a walk."

"Relax and relieve depression?"

"You know everything?" Dong Yunyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I know a little bit. Come on, go upstairs, pack some clothes, take those gold bars, and come with me to the market town to stay for a few days to relax. We need to go a little further. The children are grown up, and they won't starve even if you don't cook."

"But, but, the gold bars were taken away by them. I can't beat them."

Dong Yunyue started to cry.

Zhou Xiang patted her back and said, "Why are you crying? If they can snatch it, so can we. I'll help you get it back. Let's go!"

Lu Jing pressed the elevator button and Zhou Xiang pulled his aunt in.

"Seventh floor."

Lu Jing immediately pressed the floor button.

At the door of Room 701, Zhou Xiang signaled Lu Jing to ring the doorbell.

"Who is it?"

There was a questioning voice from inside the room, but the door was not opened.

Zhou Xiang ignored her and said, "Aunt, take the key and open it."

Dong Yunyue's key could only turn half a turn, and the door was locked from the inside.

Haha, I can't even get into my own house? Did I kick my aunt out?

Zhou Xiang knocked on the door hard, "Open the door!"

"Who is it? Speak." The person in the room spoke in a bad tone.

"Zhou Xiang!" Zhou Xiang lost his patience and spoke in an aggressive tone.

Immediately, footsteps were heard in the room, and the voice became softer, "Here I come."

The door opened, and the person who opened it had a smile on his face. After seeing Dong Yunyue, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Didn't Mom take the key?"

Zhou Xiang pushed the door hard and pushed open the person holding it. "Cousin-in-law, who am I? Do you recognize me?"

Lu Qiuxi's wife nodded, "cousin-in-law."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiang nodded. "Since you know who I am, don't act in front of me. I won't buy it. What I hate most is white lotus. Do you know what white lotus is? It's pretending to be noble and pure, but actually framing others behind their backs.

"When you knocked on the door the first time and it didn't open, I asked my aunt to get the key to open the door. What did you mean by that just now? Are you accusing my aunt of not being able to do things? Are you trying to show off your naiveté?"

Just as Lu Qiuxi walked out of the room, his wife's eyes immediately turned red and she walked to her husband, "Qiuxi, I didn't..."

Before Lu Qiuxi could say anything, Zhou Xiang sneered, "Haha, Lu Qiuxi, so you like this style? No wonder there have been so many family problems since you got married. If anyone dares to frame me, I can investigate her entire family and expose every detail to her, leaving her with no face to live, let alone die."

"Cousin-in-law," Lu Qiuxi pushed the wife beside him away, "Cousin-in-law, don't bother with her child."

"Child? Haha, Lu Qiuxi, do you mean you slept with a minor?"

Lu Qiuxi choked, "Cousin, that's not what I meant..."

Zhou Xiang raised his hand to stop him from talking, pointing at the two couples coming out from behind him.

"It just so happens that you're all home. Let me make it clear. I gave Auntie three gold bars so she could support the family and have the money to marry you off. Otherwise, do you think those gold bars were for you? Who are you? If it weren't for Auntie, who would I recognize you?

Lu Chunjiang, I also told you at your wedding that I would let my aunt keep the gold bars. Whoever gets them will get them. I gave each of you three a gold bar as a gift, and that's what you can divide up.

Why would I give you gold bars as a gift? Do I have so many gold bars that I don't know where to spend them? If it weren't for Auntie's honor, why would I give you three, whom I've only met once or twice, such a large gift?

People should know their place. How you behave has nothing to do with me. Now, take out the three gold bars that belong to my aunt."

The three brothers looked at each other, then looked at their cousin-in-law who looked indifferent, and went back to the house. The three women wanted to follow them in, but Zhou Xiang stopped them.

"You three are not allowed to follow me. I don't have time to wait for you to finish discussing this in the house."

The three women stopped.
