"Release her pressure points and let her finish speaking. I want to see what she has to say."
Cen Xi clearly sensed that Wen Qihe's later words were very meaningful, and that she was very likely referring to Shen Jinchen's scheme. Although she didn't want to deliberately inquire about it, if it was about her, that was a different matter.
“She’s gone mad, and what she’s saying is just gossip. I beg Miss Cen to give me face for the sake of our past friendship. I promise she will never bother you again.”
Wen Qi looked at Cen Xi with sincerity and said.
"Alright, then forget it. Considering our past cooperation, I'll let her go today. Wen Qixi, I hope you keep your word. If she shows up again, your kitchen maid will suffer the same fate as Miss Wen. I won't be lenient."
Cen Xi gave Wen Qixi a meaningful look. Since the other party was unwilling to talk about it, she would not ask. If the other party did not talk about it, it would be useless to ask her until she got to the bottom of it. Considering that Wen Qixi had not caused any substantial harm to her, she would let her off the hook again today.
"Okay, goodbye."
Wen Qi took a closer look at Cen Xi, then picked up Wen Qihe and turned to leave.
"The matter is resolved, let's go! We'll go to your Zhenxiu Restaurant, leave the chef here for now, and then we can discuss why we ended up here."
Seeing Wen Qixi walk away, Yu Weiwei approached Cen Xi and said something.
"Um."
Cen Xi also wanted to know why there were so many time travelers in this world, especially those she knew.
The two reached an agreement, and Yu Weiwei took Cen Xi's arm and said to him:
"Come on, get in my carriage."
"Is the Zhenxiu Restaurant not far? Do we still need to take a carriage?"
Cen Xi felt that it was only a few steps away, was it really necessary to walk?
"I was originally on my way to Zhenxiulou when I passed by here and saw Wen Qihe putting on a big show of fighting, so I came over to watch the excitement. I never expected to catch you, you dead rat. This is absolutely amazing."
Yu Weiwei, or rather, the current Jun Xiaoqiao, is still as carefree as ever, while Cen Xi feels that she has changed a lot.
After Cen Xi and Jun Xiaoqiao entered the Zhenxiu Restaurant, they saw that the manager had already packed up his valuables and was about to leave.
"Miss Cen, you've arrived. From now on, I'll be entrusting the Zhenxiu Restaurant to you. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
When the shopkeeper saw Cen Xilai, he cupped his hands in greeting and then had his things moved into the carriage.
"If you leave, will the others here leave too?"
“Well, Miss Cen, you can ask them what they think. I am the young master’s man, and I will do whatever the young master asks me to do. The others are not, so you can ask them for their opinions.”
"good."
Cen Xi nodded. It seemed that Shen Jinchen understood her thoughts. She didn't like him, so he blatantly withdrew.
It seems like he wants to cut ties with her completely?
That's for the best; it's best not to get entangled.
“Let’s go ask the chef if he’s willing to stay. His braised fish with hibiscus, dragon soup, and Wuwei smoked chicken are the best dishes at Zhenxiulou. If we let him go, you’ll suffer a huge loss.”
Jun Xiaoqiao didn't even glance at the shopkeeper who was tidying up, and directly pulled Cen Xi towards the back kitchen.
Cen Xi naturally knew that what she said made sense, so she naturally followed Jun Xiaoqiao.
The two women in the kitchen had just met the head chef from Zhenxiulou when he said to them:
"Which of you is the owner of Zhenxiu Restaurant?"
"I am one, are you leaving too?"
Cen Xi asked subconsciously. It's no wonder she didn't think that way, because everyone knows that the chef is the key to running a restaurant, and she didn't believe for a second that the chef wasn't one of Shen Jinchen's people.
“I won’t leave. I’ve spent my whole life at this Zhenxiu Restaurant and have trained many apprentices. Zhenxiu Restaurant is my home, my children, my everything. So please take me in, young lady.”
As the cook spoke, Cen Xi stared at him intently. His expression was genuinely pained, and he clearly intended to stay.
However, Cen Xi had misjudged the Wen family before, and she began to have doubts about this person who suddenly wanted to stay.
"Just agree already, what are you dawdling for? If you let the chef escape, how are you going to keep your restaurant running?"
Jun Xiaoqiao nudged Cen Xi's arm and reminded him.
"I was thinking, what if this person is still one of my former master's people, and I don't find them suitable? I used to think Wen Qihe was a good person, but..."
Cen Xi whispered in Jun Xiaoqiao's ear.
"Who is the owner of the restaurant upstairs? I've tried to find out before, but I can't."
Jun Xiaoqiao also whispered in Cen Xi's ear.
“That… is the man Wen Qihe just knelt down and begged me to give her to him.”
Cen Xi looked at Jun Xiaoqiao awkwardly, and then explained.
"The man who gave her to her, oh oh oh, the man you slept with, your lover, right?"
After hearing her explanation, Jun Xiaoqiao thought about it and instantly understood the intricacies of the situation.
The smile on her lips was so lewd that it made you want to beat her up.
"I'm not thinking about these random things. Right now, I'm struggling with whether this person is usable or not."
Cen Xi glared at her, signaling her not to change the subject.
“Use it. Even if he has any problems, he’s still your man’s man. Why do you have to be so clear about it? I’d be laughing in my sleep if you gave me the whole Zhenxiulou restaurant. You’re a good man. No wonder some people would rather be someone’s concubine than a rich lady.”
Jun Xiaoqiao hooked Cen Xi's arm around hers, her smile utterly meaningful.
"The key is, I don't like him. I think I even hate him."
