However, Yun Hongcheng ignored him and simply said to the waiter, "You'd better keep a close eye on things, or someone might try to dine and dash."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately looked at Yun Hongshen and his group with a wary expression, "You should pay for the meal first."
"We didn't order this dish, so why should we pay for it?"
Yun Hongshen didn't take it seriously, and even said matter-of-factly, "Whoever ordered the food, you should pay them!"
Yun Zhourong said calmly, "Shopkeeper, whoever eats should pay. We don't know them."
"I'm your own father! How dare you say you have nothing to do with me!" Yun Hongshen slammed his fist on the table in anger.
“My dad is sitting right next to me, so don’t try to curry favor here.” After saying that, Yun Zhourong looked at Yun Hongcheng and said, “Dad, someone here is trying to take your daughter away.”
"Get out of here, you human trafficker. Who came here claiming to be your relative?" Yun Hongcheng said coldly.
"Second brother, you..."
"Stop arguing, if you're really not trying to dine and dash, then pay up now. You can eat as long as you want."
The waiter stared at Yun Hongshen solemnly and said, "Otherwise, we'll have to report this to the authorities. This place is right near the government office."
He figured it out too; the two families must know each other.
However, it's clear that one family is holding onto the other, and he can tell who's right and who's the scoundrel.
He's not stupid; he naturally wouldn't be used as a pawn by the malicious party.
"Mother, look at what the second son is saying!" Upon seeing this, Yun Hongshen immediately complained to Old Madam Yun.
Fortunately, Madam Yun was only reluctant to part with her son, but she was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong.
So she turned to Yun Hongshen and said, "Boss, you're in the wrong. You ate the food, so you should pay for it."
"Mother, how can you be so biased towards outsiders!" Upon hearing this, Yun Hongshen immediately slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"That old lady is reasonable!"
The waiter couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "I just don't understand how such a sensible old lady could raise such a scoundrel son like you. It's a misfortune for the family."
"You lowly, stinking waiter, what right do you have to talk to me like that!"
Yun Hongshen instantly flew into a rage, pointing at the waiter and cursing, "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? Be careful, or you'll be dragged away and beaten to death!"
"Oh my, this is terrifying! A shameless, penniless bastard, does he really think he's some kind of big shot?"
The waiter glanced at Yun Hongshen's shabby clothes and said with a mocking expression, "Hurry up and take the money, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several thugs came over and stood behind the waiter.
The sight of them frightened Yun Hongshen so much that he immediately lost all his arrogance and pushed Old Madam Yun forward, saying, "We have no money. If you want money, go to her. All the money is in our mother's hands."
"Please calm down, young man. I have money. I'll pay you." Although Madam Yun felt uncomfortable, she still took out the money.
This scene left the second branch of the family feeling quite uncomfortable.
However, I know I can't be soft-hearted now, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.
So, ignoring Madam Yun's expectant gaze, he finished his meal and left.
They were going to buy agar-agar for Song Shuyi.
"Damn it, the second brother is determined to abandon us this time!" Looking in the direction the group left, Yun Hongshen's eyes flashed with resentment.
"Father, what do we do now?"
Yun Mingxuan was also furious, a look of disdain appearing on his fat face. "The second branch of the family really doesn't know what's good for them. It's their honor to be allowed to support them. Others don't even have that opportunity!"
"That's right, we've already humbled ourselves so much, and Uncle still has this attitude. Father, why don't we just let it go?"
Yun Mingzhu was equally dissatisfied. Every time she saw Yun Zhourong's smug look, she felt very aggrieved. "Look, it's obvious they don't even care about Grandmother anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Hongshen's eyes darted around, and he looked at Old Madam Yun and said, "Mother, you've seen the second son's attitude. If you really want our two families to reunite, there's only one last way left."
"What method?" Old Madam Yun asked anxiously.
“The second son values filial piety the most. As long as you go to him every day and make a scene, like those old women in the streets who throw tantrums and say that the second son is unfilial and doesn’t recognize his brothers, he will definitely give in,” Yun Hongshen said with a calculating look on his face.
"You... what did you say?" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, I never thought of that! Father, your idea is brilliant! I think it will definitely work!" Yun Mingzhu clapped her hands and cheered.
"That's right. Who do you think I am? I naturally have plenty of ways." Yun Hongshen proudly raised his chin.
"I disagree!"
To everyone's surprise, Old Madam Yun angrily refused, "I am the old lady of the Earl's mansion, and I was originally born into a respectable family. It is absolutely impossible for me to do such a vulgar thing!"
"Mother, nobody knows us in Qiongzhou now, why are you still so concerned about saving face?"
When Yun Hongshen saw her refuse, his face immediately turned cold. "Besides, it's just a temporary measure. As long as the second brother agrees, we can find another place to live, and no one will remember what you did."
"no."
As a result, this time Madam Yun's attitude was very firm. Then she took Yun Hongshen's hand and said earnestly, "Eldest son, what you did to the second son before was really too much. He will definitely not forgive you easily. But I believe that if you show your sincerity, he will definitely give you a chance in time."
"Longer? How much longer! I've been following you around for half a month already, isn't my sincerity enough?"
Yun Hongshen didn't appreciate her offer at all and simply shook off her hand, saying, "If you're not willing, then forget it. You don't want my son anymore!"
After that, he got up and left.
"Boss, wait for Mom..."
Madam Yun was surprised that Yun Hongshen would leave so abruptly, and after a moment of stunned silence, she quickly followed him.
However, due to her advanced age and bound feet, she couldn't keep up at all.
Fortunately, the three of them returned shortly afterward.
Madam Yun was overjoyed. "Eldest son, you're back..."
Give me the money.
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Hongshen coldly extended his hand towards her.
"What money?" Old Madam Yun asked, somewhat bewildered.
“If you’re not willing to help me, then there’s no need for you to follow us. But we still need money to make a living, and you have quite a bit of money on you, as I saw earlier,” Yun Hongshen said coldly.
"Eldest son, you...you mean you don't want your mother anymore?" After realizing what had happened, Old Madam Yun was struck dumb.
"Yes, we kept you around so that Second Uncle would accept us and we could live a better life with you. Now it seems that Second Uncle definitely won't want us anymore, so what's the point of keeping you, you old hag?!"
