Chapter 116 Threat
Fan Xunran subconsciously covered his stomach and felt a gurgling sound coming from his abdomen.
So hungry!
I’m so hungry!
She was really hungry! She was caught by her mother when she was eating secretly earlier, and the caramel pudding and double skin milk were not enough to fill her up.
In order to punish herself for eating secretly, her mother did not ask the kitchen to prepare porridge or side dishes. It can be said that her stomach was only filled with the two desserts she had eaten before.
She spent some time outside gathering her emotions, and immediately her eyes became red and tearful.
Fan Xunran was very satisfied. After entering, she tugged at Mr. Fan's clothes and began to cry. "Dad, I'm so hungry, really so hungry! I, your daughter, am about to starve to death."
When Mr. Fan saw his daughter with tears in her eyes, he felt a little soft-hearted and wanted to ask the servants to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks, but his wife sternly stopped him.
"master!"
Hearing his wife's angry shout, Mr. Fan looked at his daughter helplessly. It was obvious that he had no say in this matter!
"Fan Xunran, I haven't settled the score with you for those cheating behaviors before! I think I have to starve you for a few more days before you learn your lesson!"
After being scolded by his own mother, Fan Xunran could only look at his father even more pitifully, but Master Fan had no choice.
His parents were determined to ignore him, and Fan Xunran could no longer stay in this tempting hall. He ran away angrily and pitifully.
After she returned to her room, she lay on the bed angrily and ignored everyone.
Master Fan knocked on the door and opened it to see this scene. He felt bad that his daughter was so upset, "Xunran, are you still angry with daddy?"
Fan Xunran didn't say anything, but his attitude of turning his back to people said it all.
Master Fan pulled out an oil-paper bag from behind like a magic trick, walked to the bed, and said in a coaxing voice, "Since Xunran is tired, I guess you won't get this roasted chicken leg."
Smelling the fragrance, the man who was lying sickly in bed jumped up instantly, and his round body nimbly jumped to the side of Master Fan, trying to snatch the roasted chicken leg from his father's hand with agility.
Watching his daughter's agile movements, he sometimes really felt that her skills had nothing to do with her body shape.
Seeing his daughter eating the roasted chicken leg with relish, Master Fan consoled her: "Xunran, your mother did that for your own good. Don't take it to heart."
The lady's actions were indeed a bit excessive, but Mr. Fan could not persuade her and was also afraid that his daughter would resent them.
Knowing that her father was feeling guilty, Fan Xunran's eyes immediately filled with tears. "I know this, my daughter. I know you're doing this for my own good, but Dad, can you bear to let me starve to death? Then you won't have a daughter anymore!"
"No!" Mr. Fan denied.
Fan Xunran didn't answer, she just sobbed. When she thought about not being able to eat Dongpo pork, braised food, caramel pudding, roasted chicken legs...
Now he can only fight with Bai Zhou every day. Fan Xunran, who was pretending at the beginning, is really moved this time, and his voice is extremely sad.
Seeing this, Master Fan felt extremely distressed. He could see his precious daughter being wronged in such a big way. He quickly comforted her, "Xunran, don't worry. Daddy will always stand by you!"
Fan Xunran's eyebrows slightly raised, with a look of having succeeded in her evil plan. This was exactly what she was waiting for!
At Baiwei Restaurant, everyone was tired after busying themselves entertaining customers all day. Just as they were about to go back to rest, they saw a person standing outside the door.
Seeing this, Sister You said apologetically, "Sir, we're about to close."
"I'm not here to eat. I want to discuss something with your boss." Du Xuan stated his purpose.
After hearing this, Sister You ran to the kitchen and found Pei Yian, "Mr. Pei, someone outside said they want to discuss something with you."
After hearing this, the others looked over with curiosity. Who else would come over at this hour?
"Sui Niang, someone is going to reconcile. Please accompany me to take a look!" Pei Yian probably guessed the identity of the person outside.
Ji Zhisui raised his eyebrows slightly, it was finally coming.
The two of them went out together to meet Du Xuan.
Du Xuan politely saluted the two people, "Madam Ji, Shopkeeper Pei, my humble name is Du Xuan."
"Mr. Du, if I remember correctly, we have no intersection. Why did you come here today?" Pei Yian pretended to be confused.
Du Xuan smiled, too lazy to put on a show, "I came to you today mainly to discuss reconciliation with Shopkeeper Pei."
"Reconciliation? I don't remember Master Du opening a restaurant in Qizhou County!"
Du Xuan's calm expression froze slightly. "I'm here today to help people reconcile."
"Since it's a reconciliation, don't you have any sincerity at all? It seems that you may not be truly sincere either."
Du Xuan heard the sarcasm on his lips, a joke, how could his master come to Baiwei Restaurant to reconcile just for that matter! Being able to send him was already a sign of sincerity.
"Manager Pei, you're joking. It's just that my master can't leave."
"Mr. Du, please go back! Since your shopkeeper Guo is not sincere, I can only let the yamen people intervene in this matter. It just so happens that those yamen runners and I have some friendship. I think the people of Qizhou County will also be happy to hear such news."
Du Xuan's face became even uglier this time. His previous words gave Pei Yian a way out, but this guy not only did not go along with it, but threatened him instead.
He never mentioned his master's name, and he was also trying to test him.
Now it seems that all his little thoughts have been guessed by this man. He really knows everything, and even knows that the mastermind behind all this is Manager Guo.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This man looked quiet, but he was actually holding back such a powerful move. In the end, Du Xuan could only leave Baiwei Restaurant with a grim expression.
After returning, Du Xuan immediately told all of this to Manager Guo. After hearing those threatening words, Manager Guo was so angry that he broke many things in the room.
"How dare you, you bastards, threaten me! No, I'm going to teach them a lesson!"
Du Xuan felt helpless as he saw his master still refusing to give in. He really wanted to persuade him to give up. The Baiwei Restaurant was backed by people from the county government, and there would be no good results if he provoked them.
After Shopkeeper Guo had smashed almost everything in the room, Du Xuan finally spoke: "Shopkeeper Guo, what should we do next? If there's a real commotion at Baiwei Restaurant, it won't end well for us."
This incident caused a lot of uproar, and many people in Qizhou County were paying close attention to it. If the news that they were the murderers behind the scenes really spread, it would have a huge impact on their Yushan Pavilion.
"What can we do? They're threatening us now. Let's just make peace and surrender temporarily to let their guard down."
