Chapter 577 Difficulties
"Mr. Shen, the identity of this painter is actually..." Hu Xin'er was interrupted by him just when she was halfway through her words.
The servant who had just been beaten by Mu Qing reminded him sarcastically, "Our master hasn't asked yet, why are you, a woman, butting in?"
Shen Yunzhou seemed to be really embarrassed, so he was completely cold. Hu Xiner smiled and talked to him, but he didn't answer.
"Have some tea." Shen Yunzhou finally spoke when he saw the tea coming up.
However, he only took a sip of tea and said, "It's too hot."
"It doesn't matter if it's too hot, just let it dry. Now it's time for us to talk about business." The smile on Hu Xiner's face was a little hard to hold. She didn't know what tricks the person in front of her was going to play.
Shen Yunzhou however closed his mouth tightly again.
The servant snorted coldly and said, "Is the Lu family really that indifferent to people? I've seen it all! If you don't want our young master to come in and do it, then just say so—"
The servant's voice really annoyed Hu Xin'er. She just wanted to give the master and servant a good beating!
But she can't.
“Then go and change a bowl of tea for Mr. Shen,” she said helplessly.
The tea was delivered several times, but it was either too cold or too hot.
What's even more outrageous is that Hu Xin'er was stopped several times when she wanted to directly reveal the painter's identity. It seems that Master Shen was determined to give her a warning.
After a few rounds, Hu Xiner finally lost her patience. She didn't want to waste her time on such things.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
Shen Yunzhou didn't even raise his eyelids: "Mrs. Lu said this, but I don't quite understand."
There was a hint of anger in Hu Xin'er's words: "Mr. Shen is so smart, how could he not understand what I said? Aren't you asking about the whereabouts of the painter? I can tell you now!"
"Heh." Chen Yunzhou once again interrupted her attempt to reveal the painter's identity and chuckled. "What painter? I just heard that Madam Lu's discussion on tea at the last Wonderful Medicine Conference not only pleased Miss Zhou but also made everyone talk about it. So I think Madam Lu has a lot of insights on the art of tea, so I came to visit her."
Zhao Si was being carried by Mu Qing, trembling like a little chicken. At this moment, he found the right moment to interrupt and said, "Master Shen, don't beat around the bush with my sister. Otherwise, if she gets angry, her temper will really make you suffer!"
"Zhao Si!" Hu Xiner glared at him.
Zhao Si's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were swollen, and when she glared at him like that, tears almost fell from his eyes: "Sister, you are so busy, how could you still think of me, your brother?"
He seemed to be doing well in the eyes of outsiders recently, and he was indeed very happy when counting money, but the feeling of being repeatedly questioned by Miss Du and Mr. Shen was really uncomfortable!
These two sentences drew everyone's attention to him, and he took the opportunity to pretend to cry and said, "Although my sister and I have been arguing recently, please don't embarrass my sister, Master Shen. She is pregnant now, and the child is very noisy, and her temper is also very bad... If you have any anger, just vent it on me!"
The change of topic was too fast. Hu Xin'er was stunned and almost couldn't keep up with his train of thought. After thinking about it, she realized that he was defending the relationship between the two of them so that Mr. Shen would continue to believe in them.
After all, they appeared in front of Master Shen as siblings at the beginning. Now Master Shen became suspicious of them and felt that he had been deceived, so he was angry and wanted to torment them.
What Zhao Si is doing now is to dispel Master Shen's suspicion as much as possible and restore his emotions to the level where he can "reasonably reason".
Literati love face the most. Literati like Shen Yunzhou, who are good-looking and have a good family background, will be the most angry when their face is rejected.
Shen Yunzhou put down his teacup: "I was just talking about tea, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Si smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Shen, you are so magnanimous. My sister is just a woman. What does she know about tea?"
Hu Xin'er suppressed the discomfort in her heart and lowered her voice again: "Mr. Chen, that discussion about tea was all just random talk from me. Please forgive me if I was offended before."
"If you're angry, you can even hit me!" Zhao Si replied swiftly, "But at least tell that idiot sister of mine how to make amends!"
The two men's self-deprecation finally calmed Shen Yunzhou down a bit.
He said calmly, "If you sincerely want to make amends, it's very simple."
Hu Xin'er forced a smile and asked, "What's the method?"
She now regretted seeking support from Chen Yunzhou.
Mr. Shen looks gentle and refined, but in fact he is not someone you will easily mess with. Moreover, from his words, one can tell that he despises businessmen.
The way he's acting now, could it be that he's short of money, so he's using Mu Xin Comics Shop as an ATM?
Just thinking about this possibility made Hu Xiner's heart ache.
Chen Yunzhou's eyebrows remained unchanged as he said nonchalantly, "I'm not an unreasonable person. You're pregnant, so I won't bother with you. Just let your husband, Young Master Lu, personally apologize on my behalf."
Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing's eyes sharpened at the same time: "What did you say?"
Chen Yunzhou was too lazy to pay attention to them. The servant beside him said arrogantly: "Didn't you hear? Our master said that your husband should come over and apologize!"
The arrogance and domineering behavior of a vicious dog is inseparable from the indulgence of its owner.
The servant was such a vicious dog, he kept saying bad things, but Shen Yunzhou didn't make any move to stop him, which was enough to prove that his words actually conveyed the meaning of Master Shen.
Shen Yunzhou waited for Mu Qing's apology. He seemed to have already determined the final outcome of this matter.
After all, what dignity and face can a businessman have? No matter how powerful his martial arts skills are, he still has to apologize to me humbly, right?
Mu Qing looked at him coldly and slowly stood up.
At this time, Hu Xiner held her husband's hand.
She clapped her hands lightly on the table, making a sound that was neither loud nor soft.
Shen Yunzhou was startled by the noise and looked at her with some dissatisfaction.
Hu Xiner stood up and dusted off the dust on her body: "It seems that Mr. Shen is not planning to have a good chat today."
She said to Zhao Si, "Get up and show the guests away!"
"You!" Shen Yun asked through gritted teeth, feeling like she was going to lose all her face today. "How dare you, a merchant girl, treat me like this?"
"What else?" Hu Xin'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are a scholar, the son of an official. You are noble and upright. It is truly remarkable that you can bully me like this! But please remember, we only signed a trade contract, not a slave agreement!"
This was the first time in Chen Yunzhou's life that he was scolded like this, and he was stunned.
