How could Chen Danian not hear the sarcasm in his words? However, given the current crisis, he could only bite the bullet and say:
“It is true that I handled this matter poorly, but think about it, that bitch was originally a narrow-minded person. The reason she divorced me was because she overheard me telling my mother that I wanted to marry Juan’er.”
If I were to directly tell her that you wanted the secret recipe for making ice, she definitely wouldn't agree. That's why I was thinking of making up a reason to keep her quiet, and then presenting the recipe to you, sir!
He cried out in tears, "Who knew that vile woman would become so cunning? I was caught off guard and fell into her trap, ruining your reputation. I deserve to die!"
"Is that so?" Master Zhao's tone was full of suspicion: "From what they relayed back, what you said clearly shows that you want to get rid of my Zhao family and monopolize that formula by yourself."
"Absolutely not!" Chen Danian denied without hesitation: "Even if I had a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to have such a thought!"
Besides, I'm getting married to Juan'er soon, so we'll be family. If you get what you want, then I get what I want too. Why would I risk offending you and losing Juan'er to do something so foolish?!
Master Zhao snorted coldly, sizing up Chen Danian. His blustering, cowardly demeanor certainly didn't seem like someone with the guts to do such a thing. Besides, with so many people talking, rumors could easily spread, and those idle gossips were unreliable.
Master Zhao's expression softened slightly, but his doubts were not completely dispelled. Even if Chen Danian didn't have the guts, he had to take this opportunity to give him a warning, to make an example of him and make him give up any improper thoughts!
Just as he was pondering this, Butler Zhao hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Master Zhao's ear.
Master Zhao's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and asked in a stern voice:
"What? That guy surnamed Sun sent someone to invite Gan Li? They actually went?"
Butler Zhao nodded vigorously: "Absolutely true, sir! That man surnamed Sun specifically sent someone to invite him, it must be for that secret recipe! What if that woman gives him the recipe, then we..."
"She dares!" Master Zhao slammed his fist on the table. "I think she's refusing to listen to reason and wants to suffer the consequences!"
That being said, what should he do if Gan Li really gave the secret recipe to Bai Fu Lai's owner? Master Zhao was in a state of confusion and had no idea what to do.
Seeing Master Zhao frown with worry, Chen Danian was overjoyed, knowing that his opportunity had come. His eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.
"Uncle Zhao, I have an idea. Whoever has that secret recipe will have to hand it over obediently!"
As he spoke, a sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips. He leaned closer to Master Zhao and whispered, "All we need is..."
