"Hey, why are you asking him? He's an outsider and knows nothing about our family affairs."
Qin Zheng was unhappy with the way she was staring at other men. He sternly pulled her back into his arms, muttering, "Our dad is really something. He can run a restaurant even when he's not here. I have to say, he's willful, but he's also incredibly capable!"
"Pah!" Ye Yun clicked her tongue in disdain. "What a load of rubbish! Who told him to open this money-losing restaurant?"
"Losing money? Where are you going to lose money?"
"Where wouldn't he lose money?" Ye Yun clapped her hands in exasperation, arguing with him, "Look at this godforsaken place, do you think anyone here can afford to eat at a restaurant? How could he not lose money opening a restaurant among poor people like us?"
"No loss, no loss. Our dad's been in business for most of his life, how could he do something that loses money?"
Qin Zheng quickly patted her shoulder and coaxed her gently with heartfelt sincerity, "Wife, didn't you hear what Boss Ruan just said? Our dad's restaurant is the most popular restaurant around here now. Everyone who goes there is rich and powerful. Not only are we not losing money, we should be making a lot of money!"
"Hmm, that makes some sense."
Ye Yun nodded and looked up at Qin Zheng with a bright smile that curved her eyebrows.
"No, it's not..."
A discordant voice broke in.
Ruan Boli looked at Qin Zheng with a surprised expression, then at Ye Yun.
The initial surprise gradually escalated into astonishment.
"Oh? You're still here."
Qin Zheng seemed to realize that there were outsiders present. He smiled coolly, with a roguish air about him. "I'm really sorry, I forgot you were here and started whispering to my wife. How rude of me. Please forgive me."
Ye Yun smiled and said, "Surely you big business people won't look down on us farmers for being impolite?"
Ruan Boli's lips were agape and his tongue was tied.
His raised finger trembled slightly as he pointed blankly at Ye Yun, then at Qin Zheng, seemingly wanting to speak but holding back.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask... what is your relationship with Boss Mu?"
"Boss Mu? Which Boss Mu?"
Ye Yun blinked, her smile innocent.
Ruan Boli opened his mouth, his helpless gaze tinged with uncertainty as he reminded her, "Is it the one you just mentioned, or... or... the biggest entrepreneur in Lin'an City?"
Ye Yun covered her mouth with her small hand, "Oh, Mr. Ruan, why are you stuttering?"
"Honey, isn't that impolite?" Qin Zheng pulled her back, clicking his tongue reproachfully. "What if Mr. Ruan has a stutter? You can't just say it like that. It's so impolite and disrespectful."
"Yes, I'm so impolite."
"It's okay, we're not apologizing anyway."
"Mmm, I'll listen to you." Ye Yun nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice. "But who is this Boss Mu he's talking about? Is he related to us?"
“Wife, look at you, you’re being silly again. You’ve become so forgetful since you got pregnant. You’ve even forgotten our father,” Qin Zheng said seriously, pointing at Ruan Boli, a smile spreading across his kind eyes. “The Boss Mu he’s talking about is named Mu Jingsheng. He’s our father, the one who took our mother away for nineteen years.”
"Oh~ I remember now!"
Ye Yun clapped her hands, suddenly realizing what was going on.
She turned to look at Ruan Boli decisively and smiled modestly, “I am not very talented. The Boss Mu you mentioned, Mu Jingsheng, is my father. I am Boss Mu’s good-for-nothing daughter, Ye Yun, who chose to stay in this remote mountain village instead of living the life of a pampered young lady.”
Ruan Boli was struck dumb.
His expression was blank, as if he were in a daze.
Behind him, the other people had the same surprised expressions as him, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them.
Ye Yun was still smiling.
"What's wrong, Mr. Ruan? How about... we go to Baiweilou for a get-together?" She smiled, her eyes and brows beautiful and her demeanor quite kind.
This caused Ruan Boli to involuntarily take two steps back.
"You two...you two are Mr. Mu's precious sons-in-law!" He clapped his hands suddenly, quick-witted, "What a mess! We're all family members who don't recognize each other! We're so sorry, it was our rudeness, please forgive us!"
The people behind her also seemed to wake up from a dream, and quickly bowed: "Miss Ye, we are so sorry!"
"Yes, it's all the fault of the person who transferred the land deed for not explaining things clearly, otherwise we wouldn't have failed to recognize you."
"I'm so sorry, Miss Ye. Please don't tell Mr. Mu about this. If you would do me the honor, Miss Ye, let's go to Mr. Mu's Baiwei Restaurant for a meal. Please don't mind!"
Okay, okay, okay.
Baiweilou, which she had never seen before, instantly became "Don't be disgusted" in her eyes.
That's hilarious.
"No need for dinner, I'm not in the mood to deal with you." Ye Yun's lips curled slightly, but her cold eyes had already lost their last bit of patience. "Boss Ruan, to be honest, I don't like you guys very much."
Ruan Boli's forehead was covered in sweat.
"Yes, our behavior was inappropriate. On behalf of us, I apologize to you..."
"Alright, do you think I can't see through the hypocrisy and sarcasm hidden behind your apparent sincerity, Mr. Ruan?" Ye Yun maintained her smile, but her words were sharp. "Mr. Ruan, you think I pointed out your disrespect because I was embarrassed and angry due to my poverty and inferiority complex, right?"
Ruan Boli was speechless.
His arrogance was exposed so bluntly that he really wanted to make excuses.
But under the woman's sharp gaze, which seemed to see through everything, all the sophistry he could think of seemed pale and powerless.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Ruan. The sense of superiority that money and status give you is nothing to my man and me. Whether you value us or not is not important to us. We just feel..." Ye Yun glanced at Ruan Boli's tense face, smiled calmly, and squeezed out the whole sentence clearly from between her teeth: "You are really rude."
