Chapter 400: The table was overturned!
Chu Yanluo could hear the surrounding chatter clearly.
A hint of glee flashed in her eyes, but when she looked up, she saw that Xiao Qingyuan and Gu Qianhan's faces were frighteningly cold.
Gu Qianhan is one thing, but he always has a cold face, as if someone owes him a million taels of silver, so it's not surprising that he's cold-faced now.
But what's wrong with Xiao Qingyuan? He was all smiles just a moment ago, but now he's all cold and sinister!
Could it be that she said something wrong?
But she was clearly just saying what he wanted to hear!
Or perhaps he felt that she had erased the credit for making clothes for him based on her paintings?
They're so inflexible! Who cares who made the clothes? They have to say it was made by Shen Wantang to show how lowly and humble Shen Wantang is!
She leaned close to Xiao Qingyuan's ear, wanting to whisper a few words of explanation.
Before she could even open her mouth to speak, the table was suddenly overturned!
With a loud bang, followed by the ear-piercing sound of the teapot and teacups shattering on the ground!
"ah!"
Chu Yanlu screamed in fright and got up to back away.
Xiao Qingyuan was also startled. He roared, "Gu Qianhan, what's wrong with you? Why did you flip the table for no reason?!"
Caught off guard, Yuan Zheng was splattered with tea stains.
He hadn't said or done anything, yet he was unjustly attacked. Furious, he yelled, "Gu Qianhan, have you lost your mind? What's wrong with you now?!"
"You are not worthy to sit in my seat."
Gu Qianhan's cold voice pierced through the entire first-floor lobby: "A fool, a piece of trash, and a lowly concubine, three worthless things, who gave you the audacity to sit at the same table with me? You even dare to speak ill of me in front of me, you've dirtied my ears!"
Xiao Qingyuan nearly vomited blood from anger: "What, what did you say?!"
Yuan Zheng was so angry his nose almost twisted: "Gu Qianhan, don't be so arrogant! You'll regret it later!"
Chu Yanlu gritted her teeth: "Young Master Gu, what an arrogant tone! Our young master is a descendant of the royal family, how dare you say he is not worthy to sit at the same table with you?"
Gu Qianhan didn't even glance at Chu Yanluo. He only looked at Xiao Qingyuan with a cold gaze: "The Xiao family is a disgrace to have a descendant like you! It's not enough to parade your concubine around in public, you even allow her to sit at the same table with other men!"
"What, Xiao Qingyuan, you think the green hat she gave you wasn't green enough? Yuan Zheng wasn't satisfied with playing with her, now you want me to play with her too?"
"Keep this for yourself, it's too dirty for me to even look at!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face had turned ashen. He glared angrily at Chu Yanluo, then said fiercely to Gu Qianhan, "What's wrong with me taking my concubine out? It's none of your business!"
"You're just jealous that I have wives and concubines who love me! And you, you can't even get a wife! You'll be a lonely bachelor for the rest of your life!"
"Gu Qianhan, you will definitely grow old alone in the future, while I will be surrounded by children and grandchildren!"
Gu Qianhan didn't care at all about Xiao Qingyuan cursing him; he just didn't want others to talk about Shen Wantang.
He was a man, so no amount of insults or ridicule could bother him. But Shen Wantang was a woman, and gossip was deadly to her.
He would rather concentrate all the fire on himself than let people continue to say that she was a coward or that she was pitiful.
Xiao Qingyuan was still hurling insults at him, and he found Xiao Qingyuan's new clothes increasingly displeasing.
There was a teapot on the next table, and Gu Qianhan picked it up and poured it directly over Xiao Qingyuan's head.
His brand-new silver-gray brocade robe was instantly stained and was clearly no longer wearable.
Gu Qianhan finally felt a little better.
"Gu Qianhan!"
Xiao Qingyuan was furious. He stepped forward angrily and grabbed Gu Qianhan by the collar: "You dare to pour water on my head? You dare to ruin my new clothes?! Do you want to die?"
Gu Qianhan pried his fingers open without any politeness, causing Xiao Qingyuan's expression to change drastically.
"Gu Qianhan! My finger! Let go of me!"
"Young Master Xiao, you've scratched my clothes and ruined the color. You'll have to pay for it!"
Xiao Qingyuan nearly fainted from anger. He stared at Gu Qianhan in disbelief: "What did you say? You want me to pay you back? I haven't even asked you to pay me back yet, how dare you ask me to pay you back?!"
Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "Didn't you say yourself that your clothes are natural and won't fade? What's the big deal about spilling some tea? Just let them dry and wear them again!"
"Nonsense! That's just sophistry! You owe me my clothes!"
"Hasn't Young Master Xiao recently made a fortune by collaborating with the Divine Pill Hall to sell miraculous medicines through your concubine? What, do you need a few taels of silver to buy clothes?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who makes money off concubines?! Besides, you ruined my clothes, this has nothing to do with money!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, what are you so guilty about? You make money off your concubines, and you don't even dare to admit it? Then you're even less likely to admit that your so-called exclusive secret ointment contains the forbidden substance Blue Gold?"
"Blue Gold? What Blue Gold? Gu Qianhan, don't spout nonsense and ruin my reputation, ruin the reputation of the divine medicine! Are you just jealous of me because I've made money?"
"You're overthinking it. I just despise your kind of unethical behavior of making money off contraband!"
After Gu Qianhan finished speaking coldly, he turned around and strode out.
The waiter in the restaurant stepped forward somewhat timidly, wanting to stop him but not daring to, yet he couldn't explain it to the manager if he didn't.
Just as he was about to ask for money, Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "Ask Xiao Qingyuan for money. He made his fortune with his concubine and has plenty of money."
After he finished speaking confidently, he left with Jixiang.
The waiter could only approach Xiao Qingyuan and say, "Young Master, look at this... This is a small business, and the cost of the table, teapot, and teacups is quite high, so you..."
Xiao Qingyuan felt all the blood rush to his head, making his vision blur: "This table was overturned by that madman Gu Qianhan, not me! If anyone should pay compensation, you should ask him, why are you asking me? Do you think I'm a sucker?"
Xiao Er thought to himself, "Aren't you a sucker? Otherwise, why would you be so desperate to marry Chu Yanluo?"
Chu Yanluo is pregnant with another man's bastard child, and no ordinary man would want her, but Xiao Qingyuan is infatuated with her.
Moreover, judging from Gu Qianhan's words, Chu Yanluo and Yuan Zheng are having an affair, and this Young Master Xiao actually tolerated it! He's truly a genius!
"How could that be? I just feel that the young master is different from that cold and ruthless Second Young Master Gu. He is inhuman, but the young master is kind-hearted and treats people kindly, so I dared to discuss this with the young master."
The waiter pleaded pitifully, "I only earn one tael of silver a month working here. With all this trouble you've caused, I've lost half a year's wages. Please, Your Highness, have mercy on me!"
