At this time, Kowloon Cafe was packed with customers. Chen Zhilan went in and confronted the girl behind the counter aggressively: "I am your boss's daughter-in-law. Make one serving of all the best and most expensive drinks in your shop. No, make four servings of all of them!"
The young girl, named Xiao Zhao, was quite young, but she was already a long-time employee in the store with a wealth of work experience. She quickly wrote out a bill, then settled the payment, smiling and saying, "Okay, that'll be two yuan in total."
"Two yuan?! Are you deaf?! I'm your boss's wife's daughter-in-law! In other words, I'm your boss's wife too! The boss's wife comes in for a drink, and you dare to take my money?!"
"Hello madam, even if the boss herself came, we would still have to collect the money, otherwise the accounts wouldn't match up." Xiao Zhao said with a smile. "Besides, our boss only has one daughter, no sons, and no daughters-in-law."
"What nonsense! Liang Guiying doesn't have a daughter, she only has a son, and that's my husband!"
"…Madam, please restrain yourself. First of all, our boss does only have a three-year-old daughter, and secondly, our boss's name is not Liang Guiying." Xiao Zhao smiled broadly. "Hello, madam, would you like your drink?"
Chen Zhilan's mother immediately slammed the Jiangcheng Daily on the table: "The newspaper says that Liang Guiying is the owner of Kowloon Ice Room!"
Xiao Zhao remained calm and smiled, saying, "Madam, it's because our boss is low-key and doesn't want to be famous that she had Sister Guiying accept the interview on her behalf. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to get the information, or you can call Jiangcheng Daily to inquire... Please find an empty seat and rest for a while. You can rest even if you don't make a purchase."
Zheng Fangshu believed Xiao Zhao's words because he had seen Zhou Yue on New Year's Eve. She was so radiant, confident, and composed. Moreover, his mother had told him before that Zhou Yue's father's family was well-off, so it was not surprising that the Zhou family would help Zhou Yue open several shops.
But Chen Zhilan didn't believe it, and neither did her mother, who continued to make a scene.
Seeing that this was affecting the ice cream parlor's normal business operations, Xiao Zhao quickly called Liang Guiying: "Aunt Liang, someone claiming to be your daughter-in-law has come over and insists that you are the owner of our ice cream parlor..."
“I don’t even have a son, so where would I get a daughter-in-law? Xiao Zhao, if you encounter this kind of scammer again, just report it to the police. Don’t call me. Also, inform the other two stores about this.”
Xiao Zhao had the phone on speakerphone, so not only Chen Zhilan and her family heard Liang Guiying's words, but also all the customers on the first floor. Everyone looked at Zheng Fangshu and the others as if they were idiots.
Zheng Fangshu, being a man, couldn't bear to stay any longer. Chen Zhilan, however, yelled into the phone, "Liang Guiying, Tianbao is your own grandson! You don't take care of your own grandson but instead take care of that bitch's daughter? Are you crazy? You're truly despicable!"
Xiao Zhao immediately hung up the phone and then called the police station: "Police station? This is Kowloon Cafe. Some colleagues are deliberately posing as scammers and causing trouble here. Please come over..."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fangshu grabbed his son and ran away. Chen Zhilan and her mother, however, refused to believe it and waited there, looking like they were saying, "If you don't come and catch me, you're not human."
When the police actually arrived, her arrogance vanished instantly, her voice trembled, and she repeatedly said it was a misunderstanding.
"Let's talk about whether it's a misunderstanding or not at the police station!"
Chen Zhilan and her daughter were interrogated all night and were not released on bail until noon the next day.
It was Chen Zhilan's father who came to pay the ransom. As for Zheng Fangshu...
Mr. Chen sighed, "He got drunk as soon as he got home last night."
Chen Zhilan felt as if her mind had suddenly exploded.
He abandoned her and her mother at the Kowloon Ice Room and ran away with only his son. She was arrested by the police, but instead of trying to get her out, he went drinking and got drunk.
Chen Zhilan's anger flared instantly. On the way back, she kept a gloomy face and couldn't hear what her parents were saying. When she arrived at her residence, she saw her son lying on the ground crying, while Zheng Fangshu was fast asleep in bed. At that moment, Chen Zhilan had murderous thoughts.
They killed Zheng Fangshu.
Once the thought came to mind, I couldn't suppress it.
She rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and slashed at Zheng Fangshu fiercely!
