Chapter 113 Showing Off

“Having a daughter like you is the biggest stain on Old Master Liu’s life,” Song Yushu said. Seeing that Liu Yue was nothing like Old Master Liu and Old Madam Gu, Song Yushu wondered if she was adopted, and how could she be so arrogant and domineering.

"You! You think you can get away with this just because my father is protecting you? You dare to scheme against my father's money and speak so rudely! Men, smash this restaurant!" Enraged by the repeated provocations, Liu Yue ordered her servants to take action.

"Madam! The old lady said that you must not cause trouble outside..." The old woman who came with Liu Yue did not listen to her and take action directly, but instead reminded her.

"Smack!"

Liu Yue slapped her across the face and threatened fiercely, "I am still the second wife of the Xu family. If you don't listen to me, you can forget about staying in the Xu family!"

After hesitating for a moment, the old women behind him finally decided to take action.

"Hey! Stop it!" Shunzi finally ran over before they could make a move.

"What are you doing here? Did my father send you to protect this mother and daughter? Go back and tell him that if he refuses to cooperate, I will make sure this mother and daughter can't stay in the city!" Liu Yue misunderstood Shunzi's intentions as soon as she saw him.

“Master sent me to return the formula, Mr. Wei. This Rubik’s Cube was your idea, and the formula is yours. If you are unwilling to do so in the future, we will never sell Rubik’s Cubes again,” Shunzi said, handing the paper to Song Yushu.

Song Yushu immediately understood Old Master Liu's good intentions and took the prescription from Shunzi.

“Madam Xu, you’ve misunderstood Master. This Rubik’s Cube was originally designed by Boss Wei, who asked Master to collaborate. She deserved her share of the profits. Now that you’ve made such a fuss, Master says he’s too ashamed to take advantage of others, so he’s simply returned the design and will never do Rubik’s Cube business again.”

Shunzi was already dissatisfied with Liu Yue. His master had finally recovered somewhat, but Liu Yue almost made him faint with anger as soon as she arrived, which he, as her apprentice, couldn't stand.

"What! How is this possible! How could this prescription be hers! Did you and my father conspire to deceive me?" Liu Yue asked incredulously.

“I’m not lying to you. It was Boss Wei’s idea for Master to make building blocks before, so it’s only right that Master shares the money with her. If you keep making a fuss like this, Master might not even be able to sell building blocks anymore,” Shunzi said without looking at her, and went to apologize to Song Yushu before leaving.

"Alright, my little temple can't accommodate such a big Buddha as Madam Xu. You'd better leave quickly and don't affect my business. If this happens again, I'll report it to the authorities."

Song Yushu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and simply kicked her out.

Looking at the prescription in her hand, Liu Yue couldn't bring herself to speak, and in the end, she could only leave with her people.

"There are too many things happening in the prefectural city. It was better when we ran a restaurant in the county. There weren't so many people causing trouble there," Zhou Chengzhu sighed. Now that she had faced so much, she was no longer panicked. Even if Song Yushu didn't come out, she wouldn't necessarily suffer any losses.

“There are more people in the prefectural city after all. When the forest is big, you can find all kinds of birds,” Song Yushu said before going to the kitchen to get busy.

Although Liu Yue is somewhat disliked, Old Master Liu's work is truly impeccable. This prescription is clearly the result of his revisions before being drawn, since the one drawn by Song Yushu could only serve as a draft.

Therefore, she did not intend to give up on Grandpa Liu as a partner. After finishing the work at the restaurant, she would go to Grandpa Liu to explain things clearly.

"Keep this prescription. If she tarnishes your reputation again, come to me. I'm not dead yet, and I won't tolerate that rebellious daughter's insolence. It's my fault for raising such a profit-driven person!"

Seeing that Old Master Liu became agitated again when Liu Yue was mentioned, Song Yushu quickly changed the subject: "Old Master Liu, I trust you, which is why I cooperated with you. It's not your fault that Liu Yue did this. You are you, and she is she. There's no need to push away this money-making opportunity."

“If she had any sense, she shouldn’t be with someone like Xu Mingchuan. Now that he’s got his eye on the Rubik’s Cube, it’s only a matter of time before it’s taken away. It would be better to find a reliable person to cooperate with, so that he won’t have any ulterior motives,” Old Master Liu said weakly, having suffered a lot recently.

“I’ve only been in the prefectural city for a few months, and I probably don’t know as many people as you do, sir. Why don’t you pick a few to cooperate with? My judgment isn’t as good as yours,” Song Yushu said, not knowing the background of the merchants in the prefectural city. He didn’t want to be ripped off, so he thought it better to let Old Master Liu find someone.

"If you're comfortable with this, leave it to me. I've known quite a few people here all these years," Old Master Liu said, pleased by Song Yushu's flattery, and accepted the task.

He was unwilling to cooperate with Xu Mingchuan because Xu Mingchuan was a dishonest person who had used many underhanded tricks to deal with fellow merchants in the past. If it weren't for the power of the Xu family, he would have been retaliated against long ago and left with nothing but bones.

When he learned that Liu Yue was going to marry him, Master Liu even threatened to sever ties with her, but he couldn't change her mind. This was his biggest regret in life. Now, he absolutely cannot get involved with Xu Mingchuan's business anymore, or he might get dragged into a mess one day.

Old Master Liu has a wide network of connections and is an upright person. Most of the friends he has befriended admire his character, which is why they have been friends with him for many years. When they learned that he was looking for partners, many people were willing to help. Of course, this is also because Rubik's Cubes are indeed very popular. If production is expanded and sold to other places, a lot of money can be made.

Old Master Liu selected several businessmen who were of good character, had a good reputation, and were quite influential. Although they were not as powerful as the Xu family, these businessmen combined were not to be underestimated. Even Xu Mingchuan could not afford to offend so many businessmen at once. So, after introducing them to Song Yushu, he signed a cooperation agreement.

During this time, after learning that they had found someone else to cooperate with, Liu Yue came to make a scene once. Old Master Liu refused to see her and simply told Shunzi to send her away.

Liu Yue returned crying to Xu Mingchuan to complain, only to find that Xu Mingchuan was with his concubine. She then smashed the furnishings in the room.

"What are you doing now? If Mom and Dad find out, they'll blame me for not keeping a close eye on you."

Xu Mingchuan felt disgusted by her current appearance. He wondered what had gotten into him back then to marry a woman from such a humble family. Now she was no help at all and only a hindrance. If it weren't for the fact that she had given birth to three children, he would have divorced her long ago.

"I suffered because of you, and you went to find those vixens to amuse yourself, and then blamed me for causing trouble!" Liu Yue felt that she was being bullied by both sides and getting no credit, and her heart was filled with more and more pain.

"Alright! You're still the second wife of the Xu family when you're out here, who would dare to mistreat you?" Xu Mingchuan interrupted her impatiently.
