Chapter 409 Compensation

When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Zhen, trying to separate Yu Zhen and Wang Buren. But Wang Buren glared at her angrily, then laughed and said, "Yeah, what kind of business is she doing as a woman? I didn't expect that their department store has been able to operate until now. It's really a miracle. It's really like what they say about brothels and prostitutes, doing some flesh trade!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep saying that, don't blame us for being angry. You're welcome."

Yu Jie stepped forward even more angrily upon hearing this, wanting to argue with Wang Bu Ren, but his provocation seemed to mean nothing to Wang Bu Ren, who just laughed and glared at Yu Jie. Wang Bu Ren immediately said, "Back then, you promised to give me the candy shop, and I would help you rescue your brother. Did this happen?"

When Yu Zhen heard this, although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded lightly.

It is true that Wang Bu Ren helped him. If it were not for Wang Bu Ren, he probably would not have been able to see Yu Zhen now.

"Since you have already given me the secret recipe of this sweet soup, why do you give it to others? Then, wouldn't this sweet soup no longer be a secret recipe? Then everyone can make it. What use would I have for it? Now it has no commercial value. You must return all the money to me."

Wang Bu Ren spoke arrogantly. The people around him found it funny and immediately gathered together, wanting to see how this farce would end.

Xu Miaomiao didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only watch Wang Buren step forward and stand between Yu Jie and Yu Zhen. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao angrily put the spoon in her hand aside, and then looked at Wang Buren in front of her with dissatisfaction and spoke.

"They promised to give you the secret recipe of the sweet soup, but they also didn't say they wouldn't give it to others. I would like to ask, Mr. Wang, when you took the secret recipe of the sweet soup away, did you sign a confidentiality agreement with them?"

When Wang Bu Ren heard this, he was stunned and a little hesitant.

A smile slowly appeared on Xu Miaomiao's lips. Seeing Wang Buren's serious look, she knew that they must not have signed the confidentiality agreement.

"In that case, what's wrong with the Yu brothers giving the secret recipe to others? Mr. Wang, I know that I, a woman, doing business here, has made you unhappy, so you have been making things difficult for me. I'm used to it. Previously, you wanted to take all the land allocated to my family and drive us out of Wangjia Village. But now that things have been settled, I'm just running my shop honestly. You might as well be kind enough to let us go and leave us a way out."

Xu Miaomiao was right. She had previously stated her facts in a tough manner, and then she pretended to be pitiful and used her own advantages to win the sympathy of others.

As expected, after hearing that, the others all leaned towards Xu Miaomiao. Someone pointed at Wang Buren and said, "That's right, Mr. Wang, your family has already done so much in the county, and you are now the richest man in the county. Why do you have to keep harping on a little girl like him?"

"Yes, yes." The man at the side also spoke up, not putting down the bowl of sugar water in his hand. The wonderful taste really made him linger: "There are also many orphans and widows in this county who have come out to do business on their own. Although their business is not as big as Madam Xu's, you, Mr. Wang, have not made things difficult for them. Why do you have to make things difficult for Madam Xu today?"

"Besides, Madam Xu relied on her own skills. I have tasted the sweet soup made by the Yu brothers before, and it was not as delicious as his. He can make this kind of thing, which shows that he has some skills. My husband, please stop criticizing others, okay?"

Wang Buren was furious when he saw that all the people around him were on Xu Miaomiao's side. He looked at Xu Miaomiao's hypocritical face and was about to tear it apart. He immediately pointed at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Men, why are you pretending? Weren't you very proud when you defeated me with your little skills? Why are you pretending to be like me now? They don't understand you. Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

"I'm telling you, Xu Miaomiao, since you can actually come back to Bai County today, I won't let you go. Just wait for me. I want to see if you can expand your shop and keep it going with your mediocre skills and the tricks of others. I'll wait for the day when everyone will turn against you."

After saying that, Wang Bu Ren turned around and left angrily.

Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao pulled him back and said, "Mr. Wang, please wait. I have something else to tell you."

Seeing Xu Miaomiao holding him back, Wang Buren felt a little proud, thinking that she was frightened by his harsh words just now, so she stopped. He turned around and looked at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "How come you figured it out? If you kneel down now and beg me to forgive you, I can let you go for your outrageous behavior today."

Xu Miaomiao stepped forward, shook her head, and said to Wang Buren, "Mr. Wang, the chairs you kicked and broke are all new chairs I just took out of my shop. Although they are not very sturdy and are old items, they are only worth a few silver taels. Mr. Wang, you are from a wealthy family, you won't argue with me over these few silver taels, right?"

As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, Wang Buren's face suddenly darkened. Everyone wanted to laugh when they heard this, but they didn't dare to. They could only look at Wang Buren while holding back their laughter.

But Wang Bu Ren heard the playful laughter from the corner of his mouth, and he was even more furious. He looked at Xu Miaomiao angrily and said, "I'm giving you face out of kindness, don't take it lightly."

Xu Miaomiao looked at Wang Buren who was pointing at her, with the corners of her mouth raised viciously, but she was not afraid. She saw him speak and said, "It's really not easy for me to make a living. Today we are providing free sweet soup for everyone to eat, which is already a big loss. Now you have broken our chairs. What should I do next?"

"After all, my life is not as carefree as yours. I still have some children to raise at home. Mr. Wang, please return the silver to me if you are generous enough."

Wang Bu Ren naturally didn't want to give the money, but there were too many slanderous voices around him, so he could only angrily take off the purse from his waist, throw a few copper coins, and then turn and leave.
