"That’s why I say, Miss Qiaoqiao from yesterday, for Young Master Sun, was just an excuse deliberately created. The actual intention of Young Master Sun was to create a ruckus. Speaking so politely, even claiming that Qiaoqiao didn’t serve him well and annoyed him, hmph! Who would believe that!"
"Exactly, exactly. Young Master Sun showed up at the Flower House last night with a dozen or so servants, aiming to make trouble. If the Flower House hadn’t prepared enough bouncers in advance, it would have been in chaos by now. Young Master Sun got taught a lesson, yet he shamelessly expects the Flower House to wait and see! I really thought that the Sun Family was a prestigious one, who knew they could stoop so low!"
In the business world, isn’t it normal to have conflicts and competition? Utilize lowly or high-end strategies to suppress your competitors, who would know as long it’s done secretly?
Who would smash other’s venue if they couldn’t compete? Do they think they’re bandits or robbers? Do they think the authorities are a decoration or their family property?
In the morning, people were still discussing how miserable Young Master Sun was after being taught a lesson by Flower House, yet by noon, it turned into discussions about the disgraceful things the Sun Family did to the Flower House.
Grandpa Sun, who was already bedridden, learned of this and nearly vomited blood from anger. He roared at Sun Yaowen, who was kneeling on the ground, cursing him loudly.
"You damn scoundrel! You said you had a way to deal with the Flower House, is this your idea of dealing with them? Directly leading men to smash their venue? People are now scoldingly calling our Sun Family bandits and hooligans! You dimwit have completely lost face for all our ancestors!"
The face of Grandpa Sun turned pale with anger. When Sun Yaowen confidently said he could handle the matter, Grandpa Sun almost believed him. Shocker, it was such a foolish method!
Even if one were to act covertly, you wouldn’t be foolish enough to openly smash their venue, right? Now the reputation of the Sun Family is ruined. If Grandpa Sun weren’t ill, he would have strangled this useless grandson himself!
Sun Yaowen, who was carried here on a stretcher, barely regained consciousness this morning. Before he could relay to Grandpa Sun how the Flower House had bullied him, the rumors started circulating!
By the time he realized what was happening, the rumors had already spread throughout Lian’an Town. Even if Sun Yaowen was foolish, he knew at this point, he had been fooled again!
Sun Yaowen was gnashing his teeth in anger. The Flower House had beaten him up just yesterday and they hadn’t even settled the score for that. Now they even dared to strike first, completely twisting the facts?!
Unable to hold back his anger, Sun Yaowen blurted: "The Flower House is making unfounded accusations. I clearly did not smash their venue yesterday..."
Grandpa Sun angrily picked up a tea cup and threw it at him: "Beast! You still dare to argue at this point? I cannot believe I raised such a useless thing! The Sun Family’s reputation is all gone because of you, get out!"
It’s unsurprising that Grandpa Sun distrusts him. The rumors had spread far and wide. Sun Yaowen represented the Sun Family, their reputation plummeted. Moreover, Sun Yaowen has repeatedly proven himself to be a troublemaker and foolish, he simply doesn’t inspire trust.
Sun Yaowen clenched his jaw, a surge of anger in his chest, he knelt still.
Grandpa Sun directly picked up the teapot and smashed it over his head: "Get out!"
Sun Yaowen’s head was cracked open and he had to be carried out.
The Sun family’s steward was already anxiously waiting for updates. The way the Sun family’s reputation had been tarnished had him just as concerned. For a businessman, you can be dishonest, but you cannot be openly dishonest. Otherwise, customers will perceive you as cunning and won’t want to do business with you.
The damage to their reputation from this incident will undoubtedly impact the sales of the Sun family’s business.
"Sir, how should we handle this situation?" the steward anxiously asked.
Grandpa Sun massaged his forehead, his eyes were still gloomy, it was clear he was still infuriated by the incident: "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have trusted this damn beast so easily and let him run wild. How could I forget such a mud couldn’t support a wall?"
His tone was filled with resentment and mockery.
Being the astute businessman he was, Grandpa Sun knew that resentment wouldn’t solve the problem. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You should personally prepare generous gifts. One for the Flower House and one for Qiaoqiao. Apologize sincerely and also, make it clear that the disgraceful act of smashing the venue had nothing to do with the Sun Family, it was all on that damn beast." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Even if they lost face, they couldn’t lose the face of the Sun Family. Whatever mess Sun Yaowen got himself into, he would have to deal with it himself!
The steward nodded: "Yes, I will handle it immediately."

With such a big incident, Xin He was naturally worried. So, Xin He personally visited the Flower House, checked on Qiaoqiao, listened to Madam Chen’s account of the situation last night, and knew that the Flower House didn’t suffer any losses. This put his mind at ease.
As Madam Chen told the account, she tentatively said: "This morning, I heard that public opinion suddenly switched direction. Could it be..."
Initially, they were worried about the Sun family’s revenge. Now, listening to the public shifting their sympathy towards them, it seemed as if the Flower House were the ones who were bullied?
Xin He, dressed in men’s clothing with hair bound in a jade crown, looked somewhat heroic and laughed: "You just handle the business and look after the girls of the Flower House according to my instructions. As for other matters, leave it to me. You don’t have to worry."
Madam Chen’s smile deepened as she realized that this was most likely Xin He’s doing. The admiration for Xin He in her heart increased.
"So, what should we do next?" She asked.
Xin He stood on the balcony, leaning casually against the railing, his gaze casually directed to the hall below; "Let’s see how the Sun family reacts first."
Just as Madam Chen was puzzled, a boy rushed in, running towards Madam Chen and said: "Madam Chen, someone from the Sun family is here."
Hearing this, Madam Chen’s expression changed. Just as she was about to ask Xin He what to do, she saw that Xin He laughed and said: "Did they bring gifts?"
The servant boy looked surprised: "Master, how did you know?"
He saw the horse carriage of the Sun family parked at the entrance of their Flower House. He was initially scared, even preparing to call the bouncers for a fight. Then he saw a kindly old steward stepping out of the carriage, with his subordinates carrying big and small packages of gifts.
Now was Madam Chen’s turn to be stunned: "Even brought gifts?"
Xin He laughed and said: "Madam Chen, go greet them quickly. They are eagerly apologizing, don’t act too high and mighty, after all, it’s always good to make peace."
Madam Chen had almost turned to stone at that point, her mind going blank. They had beaten the Sun family’s grandson half-dead and yet, the Sun family was coming over to apologize?
