"I thought that after what happened these past few days, Qin's nephew should know what to do, but I didn't expect you to still be so stubborn."
He shook his head after saying that.
He sighed, seemingly disappointed in Qin Zheng and Ye Yun.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yun simply stood up.
"Third Master Xu, you've finally deigned to come see me in person." She smiled, her sincerity no less than that of Xu Jiashen.
Qin Zheng supported her, gently pulling her into his arms in a half-embracing position.
Seeing this scene, Wu Yujun felt the atmosphere was tense. She looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, then at Xu Jiashen, and wanted to act as a peacemaker.
He said softly, "Mr. Xu, what's so wrong with being with a young couple who's just starting out in their business?"
Her voice caught Xu Jiashen's attention.
Xu Jiashen turned to look at her, the Buddhist prayer beads in his hands clicking, but his tone carried a hint of coldness: "And who are you?"
"I am……"
"I don't want to know who you are, nor do I care to know. I have important matters to discuss with these two young friends today. If you are a guest, then please eat quietly and do not speak. If you are not a guest, then you may leave; or, I will escort you away."
He was still smiling as he spoke.
That smile seemed to express pity for all living beings.
But those words sounded like a strong threat.
Wu Yujun had never suffered such humiliation before. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, furious: "I thought I could still have a proper talk with you, but I didn't expect you to be as hateful as the rumors say. Then don't blame me for being polite!"
"ha."
Xu Jiashen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He chuckled twice, then his mouth twisted into a terrifying crooked shape. His eyes and mouth were crooked, and he stared at Wu Yujun with a fierce expression, as if he were prey on a pedestal.
Ye Yun couldn't help but tug at Wu Yujun's hand.
This is a personal feud between her and Xu Jiashen; it's best not to involve innocent people.
Wu Yujun came to their shop alone. Although they didn't know the situation of her and her father Wu Zhansheng, it was clear that Wu Zhansheng did not intend to deal with the matter.
Wu Yujun held her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, trust me."
Ye Yun, "..."
Looking into the woman's gentle yet firm eyes, she pursed her lips and could only manage a grateful yet helpless smile.
"Please ask her to leave."
Xu Jiashen wasn't buying it. He waved his hand, his eyes filled with impatience towards Wu Yujun.
Two burly men immediately came to pull Wu Yujun away.
Seeing their unreasonable behavior, Wu Yujun glared at the two men who were trying to pull her away and stopped them. She then said to Xu Jiashen with a fierce expression, "Xu Jiashen, do you know who I am?"
"oh?"
Xu Jiashen seemed to have become interested, and he narrowed his eyes to look the man up and down.
He looked her over and over, but he still couldn't recognize who the middle-aged woman in front of him was. She was dressed in gold and silver, so he figured she must be some rich woman who didn't know her place.
What are rich women afraid of?
Even if her husband came, there was no one in Jinqiao County that Xu Jiashen was afraid of.
Xu Jiashen waved his hand impatiently.
The two burly men's expressions immediately hardened, and they stepped forward to grab Wu Yujun's hand.
Wu Yujun was startled.
Before his arms could even touch her, they were grabbed.
Qin Zheng first grabbed one person's wrist, and before the two could react, he raised his foot and used the force to kick the other person away.
The remaining one clenched his fist, still wanting to fight back.
Qin Zheng grabbed his wrist and pulled him down sharply, then bent his knee and slammed it into the man's lung—
"Brother Qin Zheng, catch!"
Behind the counter, Tian Xiaohui grabbed an iron rod and quickly threw it to Qin Zheng.
She then took one herself and stood in front of Ye Yun and Wu Yujun, glaring menacingly at Xu Jiashen and his lackeys.
His men, beaten, clutched their stomachs in pain and retreated to Xu Jiashen's side.
Xu Jiashen was surprisingly not angry.
"I really underestimated you. Qin family nephew is still so good at fighting." His smile was mocking, but the fierce glint in his eyes was a scheme to kill Qin Zheng.
"You're the one who's really something! You actually dare to fight me in broad daylight?!"
Wu Yujun's chest heaved with anger.
Ye Yun supported her, gently patting her back to help her breathe.
"Don't get angry, or you'll ruin your health."
The more she talked, the angrier Wu Yujun became.
She had grown up watching how her father disciplined his men and maintained order, working tirelessly to preserve the hard-won peace and prosperity. Yet, some people were committing crimes under their protection!
This kind of bullying actually happened to her!
“Xu Jiashen, I’m warning you, if you leave now and never bother Ye Yun again, I can let it go.”
"But if you remain obstinate and insist on opposing Ye Yun and Qin Zheng, I guarantee that you will not only find a place to live in Jinqiao County, but also in the city or province!"
Xu Jiashen's face suddenly darkened.
The prayer beads in his hand clicked as he paused.
"The person who threatens me hasn't even been born yet, what are you?" he said through gritted teeth, his eyes no longer concealing their ferocity.
Ye Yun chuckled, "Mr. Xu, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always a higher level to reach. You don't really think you can control everything, do you?"
Although Wu Zhansheng didn't come, they could perhaps use his name.
"Mr. Xu, you just asked who she is. Now I'll tell you, she's Wu Zhansheng's daughter, Wu Yujun." Ye Yun smiled and helped Wu Yujun up beside her.
In an instant, Xu Jiashen's smile froze.
