When Yun Xiao saw Han Yiyi standing there safely, his heart finally settled down.
Hearing Manager Tong's words, he finally shifted his gaze from Han Yiyi to the people lying on the ground. When he saw that familiar face, his eyes were filled with coldness.
Seeing that Manager Tong was looking at him with the curiosity of a child, Han Yi coughed lightly and spoke.
"That old man, he said he wanted to do a chili business with me, but after I refused, he actually came to the Han family and conspired with them to trick me into coming here, intending to do something bad to me. Later, this old man refused to give the Han family the money he had promised, so the two of them had a conflict, and I took the opportunity to knock them both unconscious..."
It was a fact that these people were all lying on the ground. Han Yiyi couldn't very well say that they had all been electrocuted, so she could only say that. As for whether they believed her or not, she couldn't care less.
Han Yiyi didn't notice the cold glint that flashed quickly in Yun Xiao's eyes when she said that Manager Wang was plotting against her.
Seeing the doubt still lingering in their eyes, Han Yiyi quickly changed the subject and asked.
"Do you know this person? Who is he? Why does he want to do business with me in chili peppers right away? Could he be a competitor of your Yunlai Restaurant...?"
Upon hearing Han Yiyi's words, before Yun Xiao could even speak, Manager Tong began to curse.
"Pah, what a competitor! He's a traitor. Our young master has been kind enough to him, yet he still tries to use such despicable means to poach Yunlai Restaurant's employees. He's a complete ingrate..."
At this moment, Yun Xiao looked at Han Yiyi and spoke apologetically.
"I'm sorry, it was my oversight that startled Madam Han. This person is from my Yun family. He used to be the manager of my Kyoto Restaurant. Perhaps he found out that Ping An Restaurant's sales were high because of the chili peppers, which is why he had such thoughts. Madam Han, please feel free to ask for any compensation you need. I, Yun Xiao, will do my best to help you. But there is one thing I would like to ask Madam Han to agree to..."
Han Yiyi was a little unaccustomed to the sudden humility of the young owner of Yunlai Restaurant. However, she did not think about asking for any compensation, since she had already taken her revenge by crippling his leg. But when she heard him say that he had something to do, she quickly asked.
"Young Master Yun, you're too kind. Please feel free to speak your mind..."
Yun Xiao glanced coldly at Manager Wang, who was still unconscious on the ground, and spoke softly.
"This man is an elder of my Yun family, and this trouble arose because of the chili pepper incident. So I would like to ask Madam Han if she could hand him over to me so that my Yun family can handle it..."
After speaking, he stared at Han Yiyi with a complex expression in his eyes.
Han Yiyi didn't notice the complex emotions in Yun Xiao's eyes, but upon hearing his words, she quickly replied.
"Of course, besides, I just crippled one of his legs, which can be considered revenge for myself..."
Only then did Yun Xiao notice that there was indeed something wrong with Manager Wang's knee. However, after doing such a thing, simply crippling one leg was not enough.
Since the person was still unconscious, Manager Tong and Steward Liu carried him into the carriage.
With a few more people, the carriage was no longer big enough. So Yun Xiao asked Manager Tong and Steward Liu to take Manager Wang to town in the carriage first. As for himself, he decided to ride with Han Yiyi in Han Yiyi's mule cart back to Zhushan Village first.
In his own words, it was not safe for Han Yiyi, a woman, to travel alone and she needed someone to escort her.
Upon hearing his young master's words, Manager Tong couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself, "Look at your elegant and refined gentlemanly attire. If there were any bandits or outlaws, you would be in even greater danger." But he dared not say it aloud and could only nod in agreement.
Hearing his young master's words and seeing that his gaze had been fixed on Lady Han ever since he saw her, Steward Liu's eyes darkened. He was about to speak when he saw his young master's cold gaze sweep over him, so he could only lower his head slightly.
After the others left, Wang Xiaojiang, who had been hiding in the woodshed, burst into tears.
It turned out that before, Brother Han didn't want his son to see that he had tied up Han Yiyi, so he made an excuse to let him go out to play. However, because of what happened when Sister-in-law Han was kicked out, Han Xiaoding was very worried that Brother Han would kick him out as well. Therefore, when he was told to go out to play, he didn't dare to go out and instead hid in the woodshed.
Han Yiyi watched as her father's leg snapped with a stick. She then covered her mouth tightly to keep from crying out, fearing that if she made a sound, her devilish aunt would break her leg in the same way.
So, after peeking through the crack in the door and seeing the others leave, she finally dared to cry out loud...
At this moment, Sister-in-law Han, who was searching for her son everywhere, was startled when she heard Han Xiaoding's voice. She quickly ran forward and hugged him in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother is here, your mother will take you away..." she said, and hurriedly went into the house to pack a few clothes for Han Xiaoding, and quickly left the Han family. Now that she had money, she was sure she could make a living in the future.
After this incident, especially after seeing Yun and the others, Sister-in-law Han realized that Han Yiyi was someone she couldn't afford to offend. From now on, she would raise her child well and stay far away from both the Han family and Han Yiyi.
Meanwhile, Yun Xiao, sitting on the mule cart, looked at the back of the woman driving the cart ahead. His eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly. He suddenly felt that this moment was so peaceful and beautiful.
However, the next moment, a cold wind blew by, and Yun Xiao subconsciously shivered. Only then did he notice that Han Yiyi was only wearing a thin cotton coat and did not even have a cloak. So he quickly took off his own outer garment and put it on Han Yiyi.
Mule carts don't have a carriage like horse-drawn carriages, so they don't offer much protection from the cold wind. Before Han Yiyi could even put her outer garment on, he sneezed loudly.
Although Han Yiyi wasn't wearing a cloak, she was wearing thermal underwear that she had redeemed from the system, and also a down vest. At this moment, her hands and face were a little cold from the cold wind, but her body didn't feel too cold.
Hearing Yun Xiao sneeze, I was about to turn around and greet him when I felt an outer garment being placed over me.
Han Yiyi was startled, but before she could speak, she heard the person on the other end sneeze several times in a row.
Han Yiyi: ...
He hurriedly took off his outer robe and draped it back over Yun Xiao's shoulders.
"Young Master Yun, please put this on quickly. I'm healthy and not cold. You are delicate and fragile, so please don't catch a cold..."
