Chapter 61: Raise her as a daughter?
Oh my god! This is a princess! Although she's not from the same family, Emperor Liang has great trust in Prince Jingnan. Especially after the fall of the Zhenguogong Mansion, Prince Jingnan has gathered all the power of the Zhenguogong Mansion, truly becoming second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
Everyone was shocked by Lin Xiaoyue's words. If King Jingnan knew about this, Jueweilou would be in trouble!
Why doesn't the boss say anything?
The man ignored all the glances and swung his knife even harder. "Princess An Yi, our patience is limited. Please answer quickly!"
Jingyi felt like her skin was about to be cut. She swallowed hard and said calmly, "I won't agree to any of your requests! Besides, my father will come to save me soon. Your death is approaching!"
Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly, Prince Jingnan is not a rocket that will arrive in a second!
She took out the remaining paper where she had written the milk tea recipe, and quickly wrote the guarantee on it. Then she grabbed Jingyi's hand, pricked a needle on her finger, and pressed a red handprint on the guarantee.
"You've already put your fingerprints on it, so sign it! If you don't, I'll just have to feed you medicine!"
Jingyi tried to struggle and throw away the pen in her hand, but the knife on her neck dug deeper into her flesh. She could already feel the blood flowing out. If she really threw the pen away, she would probably be poisoned and mute in the next second!
Forget it, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
With trembling hands, she signed her name on the letter of guarantee: Jingyi.
"Is that all right? Can you let me go now?"
Lin Xiaoyue simply ignored Jingyi's roar. She knew that ancient people all had private seals, so she started to search her body. Finally, she found a delicate and small seal in Jingyi's sachet, with the words "Jingyi" engraved on it.
She held the seal to her lips, blew on it twice, and then stamped it forcefully on the letter of guarantee. Now that there was a signature, a seal, and a fingerprint, she was no longer afraid that this unruly princess would deny her promise!
Throwing the seal back into Jingyi's hands, Lin Xiaoyue said happily, "Let him go!"
The man nodded, dragged Jingyi out of Jueweilou, and said, "Close the shop. Rest for the day!"
Wang Fugui thought about how much money he would lose if he closed the shop for a day, so he hurried over to persuade him, "Boss, are you worried that Prince Jingnan will cause trouble? Otherwise, there's no need to close the shop, right?"
The man shook his head and said, "Why should I be afraid of him? Prince Jingnan has swallowed up all of Prince Zhennan's forces, making Emperor Liang look very embarrassed. Emperor Liang is looking for an opportunity to deal with him. Do you think he will show up at this time?"
Wang Fugui was even more confused now. He held up ten fingers and said, "Then why are we closing down? Jueweilou would lose this much money if it were closed for just one day!"
The man glared at Wang Fugui and asked, "The kitchen, the first floor, and the upstairs private rooms are all in a mess. What are you going to use to entertain the guests? Are you trying to destroy Jueweilou's reputation?"
Wang Fugui finally realized what was happening and slapped himself hard to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, Boss! I didn't mean to do that! I was careless and didn't think too much about it!"
The man snorted coldly and ordered, "Close the door!"
Wang Fugui did not dare to delay and ran to close the door of Jueweilou himself.
Lin Xiaoyue fully agreed with the man's words. In the catering industry, taste is one thing, but hygiene and service cannot be ignored!
"Boss, you did the right thing today! If we continue operating in such a mess, customers will have a bad impression of Jueweilou! A good reputation is built over time, but it can be destroyed overnight!"
The man reached out and wiped the dust off Lin Xiaoyue's face, jokingly saying, "Stop praising me. Go wipe your face. I'll take you clothes shopping."
Lin Xiaoyue looked up in confusion and asked, "How did the boss know I wanted to buy clothes?"
The man stiffened for a moment, looked down at Lin Xiaoyue's soiled skirt, and said, "You helped me get my clothes dirty at Jueweilou, so I can replace a few of yours, right? Don't you think Miss Mu Yao appreciates this? I've been very cooperative with you today!"
Lin Xiaoyue followed the man's gaze and saw that there were indeed many stains on the hem of her skirt. She was overthinking it!
She said embarrassedly: "Well, then I'll go wash my face, boss, please wait for me."
The man nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here!"
Lin Xiaoyue fetched some water and found a secluded spot to return to the space. Washing her face alone wouldn't do; she also needed to put on makeup to cover up her appearance. She had become very skilled at washing and applying makeup, and in no time, she was back in front of the man, clean and tidy.
"Boss, I'm ready now, let's go!"
The man looked at the dust on his fingers and asked curiously, "Why did Miss Muyao's face turn yellow after washing it?"
Lin Xiaoyue's heart tightened. What was going on? The foundation shade hadn't changed.
She pinched her palms unnaturally and said with forced calmness, "Really? But I've already washed my face. Is the lighting here bad? Did the boss see it wrong?"
"Pah!" The man opened his fan handsomely and said with a smile, "Maybe. Now that you're packed, let's go!"
Lin Xiaoyue was still wondering if there was anything wrong with her face. This was the capital, and she couldn't have any problems!
She quickly covered her stomach and said, "Wait, wait a minute! My stomach hurts, let me go to the toilet first!"
After saying that, she disappeared without a trace.
After running into the bathroom, Lin Xiaoyue quickly returned to her space to look in the mirror, but no matter how she looked left and right, there was nothing wrong with her! Could it be that her boss was dazzled?
Alas! His eyesight is so poor at such a young age. I was worried for a long time!
Lin Xiaoyue looked in the mirror again, then left the bathroom with confidence.
As soon as she pushed open the bathroom door, she saw a familiar figure, "Boss! Why are you here? Are you feeling sick too?"
The man looked slightly embarrassed and said awkwardly, "No, I saw that you looked very uncomfortable, so I called a doctor for you. Let's go to my yard first, the doctor will be here soon."
Lin Xiaoyue was just pretending. Isn't it too exaggerated to call a doctor?
She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Master, I'm fine. It's just that the princess came and made a fuss just now, and I didn't have time to go to the bathroom. My stomach was upset after a long time. I'm fine now! Haha, everyone has three urgent needs, don't be surprised!"
As she spoke, she jumped up on the ground.
The man was amused by Lin Xiaoyue's appearance and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay! Then let's go to the street. I see you have no hair and no jewelry. After you buy some clothes, I'll take you to buy some jewelry. Feel free to pick out whatever you like!"
Why does Lin Xiaoyue feel like the boss is raising her like a daughter? The boss isn't that old! It seems like even if he becomes a father, he'll still be a daughter slave!
But she was more than happy to have someone willing to pay for it!
"Thank you, boss! Once the Jueweilou restaurant in Yangming Town opens, I will definitely take good care of it and strive to make it bigger and stronger!"
The man laughed heartily and said, "Very good, I'll wait and see!"
