Bai Tuantuan laughed: "I don't care about your business, but since your actions are affecting us, I have no choice but to intervene."
“You’re right. I am the owner of Erdong Restaurant. For the sake of our future peace, I need to consider whether your father is still capable of being the manager.”
Cui'er's face turned pale, and she looked at Bai Tuantuan in disbelief: "My father is diligent and conscientious, why can't he?"
"Is that so? You've been working diligently, how could you have ignored the orders your master gave you? Do you really think we're in the capital and don't know what you've been up to in Hero Town?"
"Don't treat everyone like fools. Since I have this idea, I naturally have evidence."
"Go back. There are some things I will make you all admit defeat."
After saying that, Bai Tuantuan turned and left.
Cui'er gripped the handkerchief tightly, her eyes filled with anger.
Thinking of what Bai Tuantuan said, Cui'er became anxious. She knew that the attention and vanity she received were all because her father was the manager of Erdong Restaurant. If she lost this status, she was afraid that everyone around her would leave.
No, that won't do!
She absolutely has to think of a way!
Cui'er took a deep breath, turned around and walked home, but because she wasn't looking where she was going, she bumped into someone.
"you!"
Just as Cui'er was about to get angry, she saw the person in front of her and swallowed the words she was about to say: "I'm sorry, Third Young Master, it was Cui'er who was not watching where she was going and bumped into you."
Mu Yangrun was already in a bad mood because of Mu Yangzhi's teasing, and then he was suddenly bumped into. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Cui'er's pitiful appearance and his heart softened. He said softly, "It's alright. Are you alright?"
Cui'er shook her head.
"What's wrong, Miss Cui'er? Did you suffer some injustice somewhere?"
Cui'er's eyes were red; the moment she saw Mu Yangrun, she had already made up her mind.
Hearing Mu Yangrun's question, she quickly shook her head: "I was not wronged. After all, you are the boss, so it is normal for you to want to fire my father. Perhaps my father did something wrong. It's okay."
"I need to go back and inform Father now so that he can make plans as soon as possible. So, Third Young Master, Cui'er will take her leave first."
After saying that, Cui'er was about to walk forward when Mu Yangrun grabbed her arm as she passed by: "There's a restaurant up ahead. Why don't we go in and have something to eat, and talk things over properly? If they really bullied you, I will definitely stand up for you."
Upon hearing this, Cui'er's eyes shone with gratitude, and her eyes sparkled.
Although Cui'er wasn't exactly a perfect person, she was undeniably cute, especially with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Mu Yangrun felt a tickle in his heart; he had never tasted a woman like this before.
Cui'er naturally knew where her advantage lay, and blinked her eyes, which were full of dependence.
"Let's go."
Mu Yangrun steadied himself and said with a faint smile, "Then let's go."
Cui'er responded softly and followed Mu Yangrun to the private room in the restaurant. Seeing that Mu Yangrun had ordered a table full of dishes, Cui'er was a little surprised and secretly pleased. She quickly said, "No need to order anymore. There's too much for us to finish."
Mu Yangrun smiled: "Since we've come all this way, we should try all the signature dishes. If we can't finish them, that's fine too. We can just give them to the beggars; it won't be a waste."
Cui'er smiled slightly: "Third Young Master is indeed kind-hearted."
Mu Yangrun smiled and placed a piece of meat in Cui'er's bowl: "Eat up, don't be shy."
Cui'er blushed and thanked him. Under Mu Yangrun's deliberate manipulation, Cui'er felt extremely happy and embellished the story.
"Actually, I just wanted to apologize. I didn't expect the owner to do this... My father did his best for the restaurant. Sigh, it's all my fault."
Cui'er lowered her eyes, put down her chopsticks, and looked extremely aggrieved.
"Third Young Master, I'm full. I need to go back and tell Father about this."
Cui'er whispered, "Third Young Master?"
Mu Yangrun pondered for a moment, sighed, and slowly said, "I will talk to Tuantuan about this for you. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let her fire your father."
Cui'er felt relieved; she knew Mu Yangrun would definitely help her!
Hmph, no matter how powerful Bai Tuantuan is, she's still just a servant. After all, she heard Bai Tuantuan call the man in front of her "Young Master".
What else is there to fear if the man in front of her can help her?
Thinking this, Cui'er's eyes filled with joy: "Really? Third Young Master, thank you so much..."
As she spoke, Cui'er stood up and curtsied to Mu Yangrun: "I have no way to repay your great kindness."
"No need to be so polite." Mu Yangrun helped Cui'er up and took the opportunity to hold Cui'er's hand.
Cui'er was startled, her face turning bright red. She tried to pull her hand away, but Mu Yangrun held it tightly.
Cui'er felt a little flustered and quickly whispered, "Third Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Cui'er, you're so beautiful." Mu Yangrun moved closer to Cui'er and took a deep breath. "You smell so good!"
Cui'er's face flushed. She struggled free, took a few steps back, and looked up to meet Mu Yangrun's eyes. The desire in them startled her, but she quickly calmed down. After saying a few more words of thanks, she said, "It's getting late, I have to go back."
Mu Yangrun did not press the matter further. He took a step back and said slowly, "I was being presumptuous. It was all because of you, Miss Cui'er. Fine, I'll take you back."
Cui'er responded and followed Mu Yangrun away. Along the way, Mu Yangrun did not do anything else excessive, which relieved Cui'er and made her feel smug.
She was able to attract the attention of this wealthy young man because of her charm.
Cui'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Ever since she could remember, she knew how important money was, and therefore she was determined to marry a rich man.
But it hasn't been found all these years.
She was truly amazed when she saw Ning Nanxiao today.
"However, the third young master should have even more power."
Cui'er turned over and muttered to herself, "Young Master Ning has no interest in me, and there's that annoying Bai Tuantuan. If I become the Third Young Master's woman, wouldn't that put me in a superior position to Bai Tuantuan? Then... I can do whatever I want!"
"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you're a boss. You still have to grovel before the Third Young Master!"
After Cui'er figured it out, her heart calmed down: "Since I can't have Young Master Ning, then I'll have the Third Young Master. As long as I marry the Third Young Master, at least I won't have to worry about food and clothing."
Thinking this, Cui'er fell asleep.
The next day, Bai Tuantuan opened her eyes in the space, and only came out after eating and drinking her fill.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Mu Yangzhi yawning as he passed by: "Good morning, Tuantuan, were you woken up too?"
Bai Tuantuan looked at Mu Yangzhi with a puzzled expression, tossed him an apple, and then followed his gaze. It turned out that the shopkeeper had arranged for someone to restore the garden to its original state.
"The shopkeeper is quite easy to talk to, I think you should forgive him this time."
Bai Tuantuan narrowed her eyes, touched her earlobe, then took out three copper coins and tossed them: "Tsk, very unlucky!"
"Hahaha! Then you absolutely mustn't go out today!" Mu Yangzhi laughed.
Bai Tuantuan looked at Mu Yangzhi with a puzzled expression: "I count you."
Mu Yangzhi: ? ? ?
