Chapter 58: Someone You Can't Afford to Offend
Shen Zhang had everything planned out. He was going to take advantage of this auspicious day to beat Chu Yunlan half to death as a birthday gift to Shen Shuwei.
Chu Xinrou was frightened by this scene, but she did not step forward to stop the fight. She even took a step back, holding onto the door frame and screaming.
Chen Heng glanced at Chu Xinrou, "Waiter, let him go."
After all, it’s my third sister’s birthday party, so it wouldn’t be good to make a big deal out of it.
Chen Zhang sighed softly, loosened his hand, and glared at Chu Yunlan, whose face was covered in greasy soup stains.
Chu Yunlan fell to the ground, choked by the salty fish soup and started coughing, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Chu Xinrou then stepped forward to support the man and whispered, "Brother, let's go."
Chu Yunlan pushed Chu Xinrou away and glared at Chen Zhang in dissatisfaction. However, when he met those cold eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. The strength in his heart vanished, and he walked out, gritting his teeth.
Just wait for him, he will take back the humiliation you suffered today tenfold or a hundredfold tomorrow!
Chu Xinrou was pushed away by Chu Yunlan, and her expression was unsettled for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Chen Heng and Shen Zhang with resentment.
The eldest brother must have been willing to let the second brother let go of Chu Yunlan just now because of her.
As long as they are willing to ask to keep her now, she can forgive the cold treatment she suffered because of Shen Shuwei before, and even use her identity as the eldest daughter of Jingning Marquis Mansion to help them move closer to their official career, provided that they drive Shen Shuwei out.
Shen Heng noticed Chu Xinrou's gaze on him, frowned slightly, and turned to talk to Shen Zhiyang.
Chen Zhang didn't notice at all. He was worried about the food on the table.
He was treated like a slave by Xiao Chifeng for half a month, and he even had to pay an additional month's salary to prepare this banquet.
You bastard, Chu Yunlan.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Chu Xinrou bit her lower lip resentfully and followed Chu Yunlan out.
"Don't you have eyes?" Chu Xinrou turned around and bumped into the wall of people. The resentment and anger in her heart accumulated in one place, and she immediately cursed in a sharp voice.
But when she saw clearly who she had bumped into, the rest of Chu Xinrou's words died in her throat.
Zhao Yun's lips curled slightly, his eyes fell on her softly, "It's you."
The gentle words fell into Chu Xinrou's ears, and her hair stood on end. She had not forgotten that the man in front of her said he wanted to dig out her eyes.
Chu Xinrou supported Chu Yunlan and tried to escape in a hurry, but Chu Yunlan stumbled for some reason, and Chu Xinrou fell to the ground with him.
Zhao Yun slowly retracted his outstretched foot and sighed softly, "You can fall even when walking on flat ground. Are you two blind?"
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Listening to the sobbing sounds coming from the door, Zhao Yun put the longevity noodles in his hand in front of Shen Shuwei in a good mood, wiped the chopsticks with a towel, and handed them to Shen Shuwei.
Shen Shuwei didn't expect that Zhao Yun disappeared as soon as he entered the building. He went to cook longevity noodles. The bowl of longevity noodles in front of him had a clear soup base, fresh chopped green onions floating in it, and a soft-boiled egg lying on the noodles.
"Did you cook the noodles in the kitchen of Juxianlou?" Shen Shuwei asked curiously, stirring the noodles.
"Yeah." Zhao Yun nodded and smiled slightly. "The chef of Juxianlou is very easy to talk to. I only mentioned it briefly, and he allowed me to use the kitchen to cook noodles."
Chen Shuwei raised his eyebrows slightly. Is that so? The chef who rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in hand because a customer said the food was not tasty would be so good-tempered as to allow such an insignificant person to come into the kitchen to cook noodles?
Chen Shuwei was smart enough not to ask any more questions. He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and took a bite.
What surprised her was that this noodle was sweet.
Unlike the greasy sweetness of malt sugar, it has a refreshing sweetness and is quite fresh.
"This is Liangzhou noodles. Are you not used to it?" Zhao Yun saw her surprise and explained, "I hope every day from now on can be as sweet as this bowl of noodles."

Chu Yunlan was helped back to the next room by Chu Xinrou in a disheveled state. The people who had been waiting in the room looked at each other in surprise when they saw the brother and sister returning from their escape.
Under these people's questioning, Chu Yunlan exaggerated what had just happened. He naturally concealed the part about insulting the Shen family, and portrayed himself as someone who cared about the brotherly relationship and wanted to help Shen Shuwei, but was taught a lesson by the other party without knowing what was good for him.
One of them, a straightforward man, immediately threw his wine glass and shouted indignantly, "The Shen family is too arrogant! Brother Chu, you are so kind to help them, but you don't know that these people are ungrateful and useless! You're wasting your and Sister Xinrou's kindness!"
"The Shen family is a small family. We here are respectful to them if we give them a little help. But they are so ungrateful. Not only did they offend Brother Chu, but they also resorted to violence!"
The room was full of idle second-generation rich people who were just looking for trouble and immediately grumbled about wanting to fight back.
"The Shen family is just bullying Brother Chu and Sister Xinrou by relying on their numbers! We'll go back and help you guys out! We'll make everyone in the Shen family kneel down and kowtow to you two!"
Chu Yunlan had lost so much face that he wished he could go back and disrupt Shen Shuwei's birthday party, then pin Shen Zhang to the ground and beat him, forcing him to kneel down and apologize to him.
With these people's support, Chu Yunlan straightened his back, proudly opened the door and was about to cause trouble for the Shen family.
He didn't expect that as soon as the door opened, three elongated faces came into his sight.
Chu Yunlan was startled and looked closely to see that it was the boss of Juxianlou and his subordinates.
Juxianlou can be known as the number one restaurant in Luojing, where powerful people gather. There must be some powerful people supporting it behind the scenes. Therefore, no one wants to offend Chu Yunlan, the official owner of Juxianlou.
He immediately asked, "Are you here to look for me?"
The owner of Juxianlou nodded expressionlessly, "Mr. Chu Yunlan, right?"
Seeing that the other party reported his name accurately, Chu Yunlan was delighted and secretly wondered if the other party had come here specifically to make friends with him.
After all, the Third Prince is behind him, and these people might want to get to know the Third Prince through him.
Chu Yunlan's face lit up with joy, and he became even more proud. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Since you came to see me, please come in and have a seat."
The group of people standing behind Chu Yunlan looked at the owner of Juxianlou with strange expressions, and then looked at Chu Yunlan.
The boss of Juxianlou didn't look like he was here to make friends, but rather to cause trouble.
And the two servants behind him looked more and more like the thugs in the building.
Chu Yunlan was just thinking about how he could legitimately accept the gifts and money that the owner of Juxianlou would give him when he heard a cold voice, "Kick all these people out."
Chu Yunlan hadn't yet come out of his beautiful fantasy, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?!"
The owner of Juxianlou sneered and raised his lips, saying something in a veiled tone, "Mr. Chu has offended someone he shouldn't have. I'm sorry, Juxianlou can't entertain you guys."
Chu Yunlan panicked immediately after hearing this. Putting aside the humiliation of being kicked out in front of so many people, who was the person his boss was referring to as someone he'd offended? Could it be the person behind Juxian Tower?
When Chu Yunlan thought of this, his heart suddenly stopped for a few moments.
