Chen Danian was slapped by Zhao Juan. In the restaurant, everyone was surprised that there was such a commotion while eating, and they burst into laughter.
"Oh dear, life is tough for a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family. Not only do they have to work hard in bed, they also get beaten up."
"Who says otherwise? He's only just walked in the door and he's already been slapped. You can imagine what his future holds!"
"Being a kept man isn't good!"
...
As Chen Danian listened to the discussions around him, his face turned pale and then red, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
He gritted his teeth. Although he hated Zhao Juan for making him lose face in front of so many people, he was even more afraid that if he did nothing, things would escalate and Master Zhao would come after him again.
So he tugged at Zhao Juan's sleeve and said, swallowing his anger, "Juan'er, stop making a scene. Let's go back and talk about it."
Zhao Juan shoved his hand away: "Shut up! Today's events are all because of this bitch! If I don't teach her a lesson, I'm not Zhao!"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the guests at that table, her nostrils flaring upwards, and said arrogantly, "So, two hundred taels of silver, are you leaving or not?"
The guests at that table looked at each other in bewilderment, and someone asked, "Is it really two hundred taels for this seat?"
"Of course!" Zhao Juan said dismissively.
She looked at the group with a mocking expression, expecting them to feel humiliated, but to her surprise, they became overjoyed upon hearing her words.
"Such a good thing? Miss Zhao, you should have said so sooner! We would have left sooner!"
The group quickly stood up, one of them stuffing two hundred taels of silver into his pocket, while the others dusted off imaginary dust from the table and happily gave up their seats.
Are you kidding me? Two hundred taels of silver! If you miss this opportunity, where else can you find such a sucker?
They ran as fast as they could, afraid that Zhao Juan would change her mind. Their faces were beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest, which made the others envious. Why didn't Zhao Juan take a liking to their table earlier?
Zhao Juan sat down on the bench as she wished, looking up at Gan Li with a smug expression, wanting to see her furious expression.
Unexpectedly, the latter clapped her hands with admiration: "As expected of Miss Zhao, it's hard to find such a generous sucker these days."
Zhao Juan was jolted awake by Gan Li's words, her face turning pale and then flushed as she realized that she had been tricked by Gan Li.
Two hundred taels of silver for a seat at a restaurant? People would laugh their heads off if they heard about it! She glared at Gan Li fiercely, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
"You bitch! You dare to play me? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
After saying that, she was about to rush up and teach Gan Li a lesson, but her wrist was grabbed and then a strong force came and threw her aside.
"Who dares to touch my sister!" Gan Mingyi glared angrily, standing in front of Gan Li like a protective lion, exuding a dangerous aura.
Zhao Juan was startled by this sudden turn of events. When she saw who it was, she was furious, pointing at Gan Mingyi and launching into a tirade of abuse:
"Gan Mingyi! Are you insane?! You actually attacked me for the sake of an outsider?"
"outsider?"
Gan Mingyi was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Ha, Ali is my own sister. If I don't side with her, who else should I side with? But you, you've been causing trouble for my sister time and time again. Do you really think all of us Gan family members are dead?!"
Gan Mingyi slammed his hand on the table, his imposing manner suggesting he wanted to tear Zhao Juan in two.
The rest of the Gan family was also alerted by the commotion and gathered around.
Even the old man and old woman Gan behind them, one holding a spatula and the other a cleaver, suddenly surrounded them, each like a wolf protecting its cub, shielding Gan Li behind them, their eyes filled with a desire to devour Zhao Juan alive.
Gan Mingyi's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger in Zhao Juan's heart. Yes, she was Zhao Juan now, not Gan Li!
Even though she knew the truth in her heart, seeing her family, who used to dote on her, now looking at her like an enemy, Zhao Juan felt really bad.
What terrified her even more was that she wondered if her words had revealed any flaws.
She looked up at Gan Li guiltily, only to meet Gan Li's all-knowing eyes, as if all her secrets had been exposed...
Zhao Juan's heart skipped a beat. In her panic, she uttered a harsh remark without thinking of finding fault, and turned to leave. As she walked, she said guiltily:
"I'm not eating here! What a lousy place! I don't care! Once my dad makes his ice-selling business successful, I'll bury you all in money!"
Zhao Juan left, and Chen Danian had no reason to stay. He turned and looked at Gan Li deeply before reluctantly following Zhao Juan away.
Zhao Juan slunk away, and the restaurant returned to its usual quiet.
After Zhao Juan left, the Gan family members all dispersed and went about their own work.
After calming the customers down, Ganli returned to the counter, but her mind was still preoccupied with what had just happened.
Zhao Juan's words went unnoticed by others, but Gan Li found them rather strange.
Logically speaking, Zhao Juan isn't stupid. Knowing her relationship with the Gan family, why would she say to Gan Mingyi, "You actually attacked me for the sake of an outsider"?
No matter what, Zhao Juan is clearly the outsider!
But Zhao Juan's words just now, filled with genuine grievance and anger, didn't seem fake. Could it be... that the original owner of this body has also been resurrected?
Gan Li raised an eyebrow, finding the situation rather interesting.
As for fear... she didn't really feel it.
After all, if things were really as she guessed, and the original owner transmigrated into Zhao Juan's body, and was even able to bring Chen Danian, the person who killed her, to be her live-in son-in-law, what other tricks could such a top-notch love brain come up with?
However, as the saying goes, a toad jumping onto your foot won't bite, but it's disgusting.
Zhao Juan came to provoke me today. If I do nothing and let her off so easily, wouldn't she become even more unscrupulous in the future?
Gan Li thought that she didn't have that much time to deal with them. She had to think of a way to make them feel bad once and for all, so that they would know that she was not someone to be trifled with and that they would not bother her again.
But what method can we come up with?
She remembered that Zhao Juan had mentioned selling ice when she left... That's right, Master Zhao has obtained the method to sell ice and has also purchased so much saltpeter. He must be eager to make a big splash now, and he may have already found a buyer.
Others may not know, but she does. The method of making ice is about to be widely adopted. If Master Zhao were to do business with someone at this time, wouldn't he be cheating them?
Thinking of this, Gan Li smiled silently. She decided to be a good person and save this unlucky guy who might be tricked by Master Zhao.
In the afternoon, when there was a little free time at the restaurant, Ganli went out for a while.
She went to Baifulai, met with Lao Sun, and asked him to help her find out some things.
