Madam Wang did not expect that her words would have such an effect.
She paused, bewildered, then roared angrily, "So you're all in cahoots with this little whore!"
“Even if my rent is high, she can express her dissatisfaction or refuse to sign the contract. Since she signed it, it means she is satisfied.”
"Now, because of the high rent, you've seduced my husband so much that he doesn't come home every day, and my child hasn't seen his father for four or five days. What a shameless thing to do!"
After listening, Jiang Bai clicked his tongue and said, "Madam Wang, I think you haven't figured out one thing. If Wang Zhongyi didn't go home, then he's not with me."
Madam Wang said in disbelief, "The rumor that a man has been frequently appearing at the medicinal cuisine restaurant has even reached my ears."
"You have no relatives or friends in the county town, dare you say that man isn't Wang Zhongyi?"
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Jiang Bai calmed down and said, "That person is my husband."
No sooner had Zhao Yi left than Madam Wang entered the room.
Hearing the argument, one of the guards immediately went to find Zhao Yi. Just as he entered the room, he heard Jiang Bai address him as "husband".
Zhao Yi was immediately in a great mood.
He strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Bai, asking Madam Wang across from him with a serious expression, "I wonder if Madam is asking me?"
The sight of handsome men and beautiful women was quite striking. Madam Wang took a step back, pursed her lips, and was speechless.
When Jiang Bai acknowledged Zhao Yi's identity in front of outsiders for the first time, a murmur rippled through the crowd.
"I knew this man must have a connection with Boss Jiang."
"Look at those broad shoulders, slender waist, and long legs, she's quite a match for Jiang Bai."
Among them were regulars at Hongding Restaurant who had naturally seen Wang Zhongyi before. One of them said indignantly, "That Wang Zhongyi has an ordinary appearance and a shrewish wife at home. Does he really think Miss Jiang would bring home just any dirty and smelly woman?"
Jiang Bai, with his sharp ears, heard these words and couldn't help but smile.
The customers would still call her Miss Jiang without realizing it. When the shop opened, everyone thought she was an unmarried girl, so they got used to calling her that. Even after seeing Jiang Bai's man and child, they couldn't change the way they called her.
Under the ridicule of the crowd, Madam Wang lost face and felt she had definitely lost this time. Her scalp tingling, she still stubbornly retorted, "Who knows if you hired a man to deal with me..."
Zhao Yi's face turned cold, and a powerful aura emanated from him, causing everyone to gradually fall silent and dare not speak.
He snorted coldly: "I don't know who can get me, Zhao Yi, to deal with people."
Zhao Yi might not be a name that everyone in the county knows, even if some people across the country don't recognize him.
Madam Wang took another step back.
Zhao Yi was still sneering: "Still don't believe me? Why don't you bring over my marriage certificate with Jiang Bai so you can take a look?"
"No need," a male voice said before Madam Wang could speak.
Wang Zhongyi finally arrived.
He was covered in sweat, which streamed down his face. He didn't bother to wipe it away. He walked up to Zhao Yi and Jiang Bai, bowed deeply to them, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chief Zhao. I didn't know you were here. I let this foolish woman disturb you."
After saying that, he stood up and, before Jiang Bai could react, turned around and slapped Madam Wang hard across the face, knocking her to the ground.
Madam Wang sobbed.
Wang Zhongyi was furious: "Aren't you going home? You're making a fool of yourself here!"
Madam Wang dared not utter a word. She quickly scrambled to her feet, brushed the dust off her clothes, and rushed out the door.
Wang Zhongyi then turned his gaze back to Zhao Yi.
Those around them saw Wang Zhongyi and Zhao Yi at the same time, and the stark contrast was so striking that it was almost unbearable to look at them.
Even Jiang Bai couldn't help but recall that meme she'd seen before the apocalypse—"Stay away from my boyfriend!" Her boyfriend: [Kappa.jpg]
In Guda, Wang Zhongyi is not short, he is about 1.7 meters tall, but Zhao Yi is tall. Zhao Yi is a head taller than Jiang Bai, he is about 1.85 meters tall.
Not to mention facial features, physique, and temperament, Wang Zhongyi was utterly defeated in all aspects.
Even in terms of earning power, Wang Zhongyi couldn't compare to Zhao Yi's little finger.
The person next to her was right. If Jiang Bai didn't become Zhao Yi's legal wife but instead became Wang Zhongyi's mistress, then she would be out of her mind.
Seeing the crowd huddled together gossiping, Wang Zhongyi knew they were talking about him, and his face twitched involuntarily.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said to everyone, "This is all a misunderstanding. My wife is jealous and has caused everyone a bad mood. I apologize on her behalf. Next time you come to Hongding Restaurant, you'll get a 20% discount."
He hadn't heard Jiang Bai mention the 50% discount earlier and thought the 20% discount was already a huge amount.
Everyone curled their lips in disapproval.
This person is not only ugly, but also stingy.
It was clearly your wife who caused this trouble; Jiang Bai was innocent bystanders, yet you only offered a paltry 20% discount. Who do you think you are?
Jiang Bai smiled and saw the guests off, intending to take Zhao Yi and Wang Zhongyi to her bedroom/office for a detailed discussion.
Zhao Yi thought about what Jiang Bai's bedroom looked like, reached out and stopped the two of them, saying, "Let's go to the living room next door instead."
Wang Zhongyi had no objection.
Seeing that Jiang Bai was somewhat puzzled, Zhao Yi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Now that we've just revealed our marital status, if he sees that there are no of my belongings in your bedroom, he'll probably give himself away."
He used such a high-sounding reason, but in reality, he didn't want Wang Zhongyi to enter Jiang Bai's bedroom.
Jiang Bai nodded: "It was my oversight."
The three sat down in the reception room, and Tanji came over and served them a cup of tea.
Wang Zhongyi had never met Zhao Yi before and was initially somewhat suspicious, but all his doubts vanished as soon as Tan Ji arrived.
This was because Tan Ji controlled all the businesses in the county town, and the two had met once before.
Wang Zhongyi smiled and tried to greet Tan Ji, but Tan Ji walked away expressionlessly, not even glancing at him.
Wang Zhongyi clenched his fist.
He took a sip of tea, turned to Zhao Yi, and said, "Today was far too abrupt. I don't know how to express my apologies."
Zhao Yi remained silent.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai said, "Just explain it to Madam Wang."
Wang Zhongyi quickly said, "I was too busy and neglected her. I didn't expect her to come here and cause trouble."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "Business at the restaurant has been much worse lately, and I'm very anxious about it."
Zhao Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Wang Zhongyi said with a bitter face, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll be frank. This courtyard that I rented to you was originally where my mother lived. Because we're short of money lately, my wife had the idea of renting it out."
That's how we came up with our suggestion.
“Now that she’s made such a fuss, I’m thinking, could I refund the rent to you and bring my mother back to live with us to dispel her doubts?”
