"Wang Er, I don't know this young lady at all, don't do anything reckless!" Qin Dong said nervously, blocking Cheng Qingli's path.
"Girl, you should leave now," Qin Dong advised Cheng Qingli.
"Your name is Wang Er?" Cheng Qingli ignored Qin Dong and instead pulled him aside, staring intently at the man who was half a head shorter than her.
Looking at Wang Er's pockmarked face and his long, pointed face with a mouthful of buck teeth, Cheng Qingli couldn't understand how there could be such an ugly man in the world.
"Hey little girl, you've got your eye on me? Don't worry, if you follow me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!" Wang Er said, noticing Cheng Qingli staring at him.
He was still imagining in his mind that this beautiful lady had taken a liking to him.
"Get out!" Cheng Qingli snapped, having had enough of being disgusted.
"I don't know how, why don't you teach me?" Wang Er was not annoyed by Cheng Qingli's words. Instead, he looked at Cheng Qingli even more lewdly. He was even thinking about how to explain to his superiors why he had failed to accomplish this task after taking Cheng Qingli back.
After all, their master was after that brothel.
As long as Qinlou falls, the business of my master's Yuelou will surely flourish.
"Throw him out! Give him a good beating!" Cheng Qingli gave the order, and the guards hidden in the shadows dragged Wang Er out.
Qin Dong, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Could things really be resolved like this?
"Manager, can you serve me the food now?" With the annoying person no longer bothering her, Cheng Qingli looked at Qin Dong beside her and asked.
"Young lady, the kitchen hasn't prepared any dishes today. If you don't mind, I'll make you a bowl of noodles!" Qin Dong said somewhat awkwardly.
He wanted to go out and buy some, but all his money had been taken by those people.
That day, Cheng Qingli ate her first bowl of noodles, which was also the most delicious bowl of noodles she had ever eaten.
“Young lady, once you’ve finished eating, you should leave quickly. Those people are reckless; they’ll definitely bring reinforcements. You’re just a young girl, so don’t confront them head-on,” Qin Dong said to Cheng Qingli with a smile.
"Why did those people come to you?" Cheng Qingli thought to herself. If even a simple noodle dish tastes this good, it must be even more delicious when it's stir-fried. But why doesn't a cook like this have any business?
"It's my fault for not raising my son properly. I don't know when he started gambling. He not only lost all the family's land, but also everything of value in the family. All that's left is this ancestral restaurant. Now that the restaurant has no business, it's probably going to fall into the hands of those people," Qin Dong said, and then he sighed.
"Are those people from the gambling den?" Cheng Qingli asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, you should leave quickly! Those people, when they go crazy, won't show any mercy to a young girl like you," Qin Dong said, afraid that Cheng Qingli wouldn't want to leave.
"If they come, will you have no choice but to hand over this restaurant to pay off your debts?" Cheng Qingli asked Qin Dong.
"It's my fault for being useless; I couldn't even protect this little bit of our family heritage!" Qin Dong didn't answer Cheng Qingli's question, but his tone was filled with endless sorrow.
"Instead of letting your restaurant fall into their hands, why don't you sell it to me?" Cheng Qingli didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but that's what she said to Qin Dong.
"But if you do this, those people won't let you off the hook?" Qin Dong said, frowning.
He already knew who was behind this; they simply wanted to seize his restaurant.
"That's none of your business." Cheng Qingli looked at Qin Dong and felt that she was being nosy.
"Brother, it was that woman who had me beaten up!"
Before Qin Dong could speak, he saw Wang Er storm in with a man in a huff!
