The sudden sword strike caught Lu Tianyu off guard, but he remained standing there without moving. This guy was clearly here to cause trouble, and he couldn't back down.

Zhao Di was startled and quickly stopped the man, saying, "Young Master Zhao, you've misunderstood. This is my friend!"

Upon hearing that the man was Young Master Zhao, Lu Tianyu immediately introduced himself: "Brother, I am not only a friend of Miss Zhaodi, but also her loyal suitor. Over the past three years, Miss Zhaodi and I have become quite familiar with each other!"

Zhao Di was so embarrassed by his nonsensical words that she almost dug a restaurant out of her toes.

Young Master Zhao remained calm and composed. He sheathed his sword, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "What a coincidence! I am also a suitor of Miss Zhaodi. Although I have only known Miss Zhaodi for three days, I believe my sincerity surpasses yours over the past three years!"

Lu Tianyu was displeased: "Hey buddy, I've already said all this, you should know better than to go somewhere cool and stay there, why are you still talking back? Don't you know anything about social etiquette!"

Young Master Zhao spread his hands: "In front of the girl I love, I only have sincerity. I really don't understand human relationships."

Then, I looked at Zhao Di with deep affection and said, "Miss Zhao Di, when I was in Tuqiao, I heard that the proprietress of Juxianlou in Huaiyuan County was unparalleled. I have admired her for a long time. Upon meeting her, I was even more attracted to her. Would you be willing to walk hand in hand with me?"

Lu Tianyu rushed forward and stood between the two, anxiously saying, "Zhao Di, don't listen to his sweet talk. I don't think this man is reliable at all!"

Young Master Zhao smiled dismissively: "You haven't been able to get Miss Zhaodi's approval in three years. You're the one who's unreliable!"

"Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?" Lu Tianyu said angrily.

"Enough!" Zhao Di said coldly. She really didn't understand how such a ridiculous thing could happen to her again and again.

"Gentlemen, if you want to fight or make a scene, please turn left and leave. I still have business to do, so I won't see you off!" With that, he stormed off.

Lu Tianyu and Young Master Zhao stared at each other, neither willing to back down. Even though Young Master Zhao held a sword, Lu Tianyu still mustered his courage and said fiercely, "Don't even think about taking advantage of my Zhao Di!"

Young Master Zhao said dismissively, "Is this gentleman engaged to Miss Zhaodi?"

"Not for now!" Lu Tianyu's voice dropped a few decibels.

Young Master Zhao said calmly, "Since that's the case, I, Zhao, have the right to pursue Miss Zhaodi. Brother, although you've been here for three years, there's a saying that the latecomer can surpass the early one. If you're not giving up, let's compete fairly and see who Miss Zhaodi chooses."

Lu Tianyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. An uninvited guest had suddenly appeared, determined to steal his wife. The worst part was that the man seemed very competitive, and this time he had no choice but to keep his eyes on his wife.

After finishing his sentence, Young Master Zhao went off to find Zhao Di with an air of elegance. Lu Tianyu then said to the young waiter who was watching the melons go by, "Shunzi, take me to see your lodgings!"

Shunzi stared in disbelief and asked, "Young Master Lu, are you really planning to stay here? Our conditions are quite harsh, a first-class dormitory-style room. Your noble body can't handle it!"

"Do you want me to say it again?" Lu Tianyu said with a stern face.

Shunzi was helpless. What could he do? He was a miserable working man, ordered around by these rich young ladies every day. Since that was the case, he decided to take him to see what it was like.

Shunzi thought Lu Tianyu must have been driven away by the smell of feet in the dormitory, but to her surprise, he simply found an empty bed, threw his luggage down, and said to Shunzi, "Shunzi, find me a waiter's uniform and make my bed for me."

Discussion group

Shunzi wondered if she had misheard, and asked again, "Young Master Lu, are you kidding me? You really want to stay here!"

Lu Tianyu flicked the stray hairs from his forehead and said, "Yes, in order to win over my wife, I'm going to have to fight a long battle here!"

Shunzi quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "Young Master Lu, you've finally figured it out! If you had shown this shamelessness earlier, Miss Zhaodi would have already submitted to you!"

Lu Tianyu nodded smugly, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He glared at Shunzi and said, "You little brat, are you asking for trouble? Who are you calling shameless?"

Shunzi quickly laughed it off, saying, "Young Master Lu, please don't do anything. Sister Zhaodi said that no one but her can bully us. A few days ago, a wealthy and arrogant customer deliberately made things difficult for Afu, and Sister Zhaodi overturned the table for him!"

Lu Tianyu put his hand on Shunzi's shoulder and said, "Kid, what are you thinking? I'm in cahoots with your sister Zhaodi. Why would I hit you? From now on, call me Brother Tianyu. Don't be so formal. Take this money and share it with the brothers. Be more careful from now on. We have to keep an eye on your sister Zhaodi and make sure she's not kidnapped by bad guys!"

Shunzi took the money, immediately found a clean set of clothes for Lu Tianyu, and said respectfully, "Brother Tianyu, from now on, all the brothers will listen to you!"

Lu Tianyu smiled slyly. "So what if he's just Young Master Zhao? I've already infiltrated the enemy ranks. What do you have to compete with me?"

Lu Tianyu changed his clothes and hurriedly went downstairs, while Young Master Zhao was still leisurely drinking tea in the shop.

Lu Tianyu dismissed the servants who were supposed to be attending to him and took over the service himself.

Original text from the novel "The Tower Reads"

"Young Master Zhao, here's your tea. Hurry up and finish it, we're always busy here. If you just sit there doing nothing, you'll be slowing us down!"

Enraged by these words, Young Master Zhao slammed his fist on the table and said, "You are utterly vulgar! Miss Zhao Di will never like you!"

Seeing him slam his fist on the table, Lu Tianyu hurriedly called out, "Young Master Zhao wants to settle the bill! He's practically knocked the table over! Why isn't anyone here?"

The shop assistants had long been familiar with Lu Tianyu and received benefits from him from time to time. They had just received a lot of money, so naturally they were on his side.

Immediately, someone jogged up and said, "Young Master Zhao, the total is one tael and twenty coins."

“I have no intention of leaving!” Young Master Zhao explained.

The man replied irrelevantly, "Young master, our shop has clearly marked prices, you get what you pay for. How about I round it down to one tael?"

After saying that, he shouted loudly, "Someone from Liuxiang Pavilion, come and clear the tables!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four waiters quickly came up. Young Master Zhao naturally gave another explanation, but the waiters seemed not to hear him. They simply carried Young Master Zhao out and placed him outside the door, then shouted down, "Young Master Zhao, take care, welcome to visit again next time."

Lu Tianyu said with a forced smile, "Brother Zhao, don't come next time. You should have noticed that the brothers here don't welcome you!"

Young Master Zhao was furious. This guy wasn't playing by the rules! He said it was fair competition, but he brought in so many outside helpers.

Young Master Zhao angrily drew his sword and pointed it at Lu Tianyu, saying, "You despicable man, if you have the guts, let's have a real fight, don't resort to such underhanded tactics!"

Lu Tianyu said with a roguish air, "Young Master Zhao, all the waiters in this restaurant are my brothers. It's obvious that Zhao Di and I are a couple. You'd better know your place. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Don't even think about my wife!"

Enraged by his shameless words, Young Master Zhao retorted, "You scoundrel! How could Miss Zhao Di possibly be interested in a rogue like you? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

After saying that, she flew forward and stabbed. Lu Tianyu had already dodged, but when he saw Zhao Di coming gracefully, he took another step forward and his arm was cut by the sword.

The group of waiters immediately sprang into action, each grabbing onto Young Master Zhao and saying, "Young Master Zhao, although we are just lowly servants, we have served you with all our might. How could you resort to violence at the slightest disagreement!"

Shunzi cried out, "Sister Zhaodi, Brother Tianyu has been killed by Young Master Zhao!"

Zhao Di rushed to the scene in a few quick steps, only to find Lu Tianyu clutching his wound and saying, "Afu, quickly let go of Young Master Zhao! He's a distinguished guest. It was my clumsiness that caused the accident. It's understandable that he's angry!"

Young Master Zhao was completely bewildered. What was going on? Their ability to lie through their teeth was truly masterful; this was clearly a frame-up.

Seeing that the blood had stained Lu Tianyu's sleeves, Zhao Di was extremely worried. Her sharp gaze shot directly at Young Master Zhao.

口口五六三七四三六七五

Young Master Zhao hurriedly explained, "Miss Zhaodi, that's not how it happened. This person conspired with these guys to drive me away and deliberately provoked me to attack, all to play the victim in front of you."

Zhao Di said coldly, "Young Master Zhao, are you saying that my employees ganged up on you?"

Young Master Zhao nodded happily, finally he had made things clear.

Zhao Di coldly said, "Young Master Zhao, it's one thing if one or two are like this, but they must have had the guts to gang up on you. I clearly saw you fiercely raising your sword to stab him. Why should my man take the blame? You have to be responsible for his injury."

Lu Tianyu immediately tugged at Zhao Di, looking completely harmless, and said, "I'm fine. Young Master Zhao accidentally stabbed me. You should let him go quickly, or it won't be good if he disturbs the other guests."

Young Master Zhao: "..." I am more wronged than Dou E.
