Dazhu, Sanshun, and Siya, the three little brats, beat Su Fan while spitting on him in disgust.
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
"You deserve to be beaten to death! My mother was so good to you, but you turned out to be a heartless wretch, not only abandoning your mother but also letting your old hag beat her!"
"Now that Mother is finally ready to start a new life, you come and bother her again. I've never seen a man more despicable than you!"
Su Fan rolled on the ground in pain, pleading for help.
"Ah! My legs! My face! My eyes! My stomach! Everything hurts, I'm about to be beaten to death! Brother Wenyuan, please save me!"
Meng Wenyuan: "..."
Honestly, Meng Wenyuan had never seen such an explosive and outrageous scene in his entire life.
He was stunned for a long time until he heard Su Fan ask him for help. Only then did he react and quickly called on the students behind him to help.
"Su Fan is going to get seriously injured if he keeps getting beaten like this! Everyone, stop standing there and go help him!"
These students looked down on Su Fan and were unwilling to help him at all. However, since Meng Wenyuan, the son of the headmaster, had spoken, they had no choice but to pretend to help Su Fan and stop Wan Shu and his two children in order to curry favor with Meng Wenyuan.
Wan Shu and his group said they wanted to beat Su Fan to death, but they knew very well that murder would be punished with death, so they were just indulging in a verbal sparring match.
Seeing that Su Fan had been beaten badly enough, and having vented his anger, he did not argue with the group of students.
They let them drag Su Fan back.
Under the influence of the chili water, Su Fan's face had turned into a big, red, swollen, and unsightly pig's head.
My eyes felt like they had been gouged out alive; they burned and I couldn't open them at all.
Later, it was the waiter from Yu Mantang who, seeing that things were not going well, brought out a large bucket of water and rinsed Su Fan's eyes more than ten times before Su Fan could barely open his eyes a crack.
Upon seeing the outside world, Su Fan burst into tears of joy: "That's wonderful, wonderful! I can still see, my eyes aren't blind yet!"
His disheveled appearance was so pitiful that it would bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard of it and sadden anyone who saw it.
Even some of the students who disliked the group couldn't stand it anymore and questioned Wan Shu and his group.
Why are you treating Brother Su Fan like this!
"Although Brother Su Fan is poor, pedantic, and quite unlikable, he is sincere and devoted. He intends to sacrifice himself for others, take you as his concubine, and use love to win you over! How could you bring yourself to do this to such a righteous person!?"
"Trying to influence me with love?" Wan Shu looked utterly bewildered. "I, Wan Shu, am upright and honest. What do I need this toad to influence me???"
"A vicious woman like you dares to claim that you are upright and honest? Don't think we don't know what you did to Manager Liu!"
Seeing that they were about to reveal the lie he had just fabricated in front of Wan Shu, Liu Liang looked flustered and stepped forward to stop them.
But these students, who considered themselves superior and thought they were speaking out for justice, were completely carried away and ignored Liu Liang's attempts to stop them, blurting out the whole story.
After hearing these words, Wan Shu finally understood why Su Fan had been harassing her; it turned out that Liu Liang was behind it all.
It seems that Liu Liang is more deserving of being dealt with than Su Fan.
Realizing this, Wan Shu immediately changed her target, looking at Liu Liang with a half-smile: "Manager Liu, how come I didn't even know that I asked you for five thousand taels of silver right off the bat, and that I threatened to make you pay the price?"
When his lie was exposed in public, Liu Liang's face turned extremely ugly.
Meng Wenyuan keenly sensed that something was wrong with his expression, and his brows furrowed tightly: "What's going on, Manager Liu? Are you lying about this?"
Meng Wenyuan was an upright man. He knew that Wan Shu was being deliberately slandered. Not only would he stop eating at their Yu Mantang restaurant, but he would also spread the word about this matter.
Given the influence of Dongcheng Academy, Yumantang will really have to go bankrupt!
Liu Liang dared not admit it and gritted his teeth to endure it.
"Young Master Meng, you are wise! How could I lie! It's clear that this wicked woman, knowing the truth has been exposed, is unwilling to ruin her reputation, so she deliberately denies it!"
As he spoke, he began to curse at Wan Shu.
"You wicked woman, don't think you can get away with this by denying it! You will surely die a horrible death and never be reincarnated!"
Siya was furious at his shamelessness and started arguing back.
"Pah! You old bastard! You'll die a horrible death and never be reincarnated! You were the one who threatened us back then. If we didn't sell you the braised food recipe for four hundred taels, you said you would prevent us from setting up our stall in Sishui County. We had no choice but to share the braised food with Jinzunlou to sell!"
"Heh." Liu Liang sneered arrogantly twice: "You think you can just say whatever you want? Where's the evidence? Do you think Young Master Meng will believe you without evidence?!"
Yes, they have no evidence.
Realizing this, Dazhu, Sanshun, and Siya's expressions turned ugly.
Strictly speaking, Liu Liang's statement is completely without any evidence.
But as the saying goes, first impressions matter. Meng Wenyuan and his group of students had heard Liu Liang's lies and witnessed the brutality of their beating of Su Fan, so they would subconsciously trust Liu Liang even more.
What's worse is that the commotion caused by their beating of Su Fan was so great that a lot of onlookers had gathered nearby.
Passersby were talking about it.
"That's right, the Wan family doesn't even have any evidence. Don't even mention Young Master Meng not believing it, even I don't believe it!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that this young lady Wan, who looks so pretty and speaks so kindly, would do such a vicious thing behind the scenes!"
"Hmph, what's so pretty about her? All that flashy flirting, she's obviously no good!"
"I agree. Someone as pretty as her is obviously up to no good. We absolutely cannot let her get away with this. I will never eat her braised food again!"
"I'm not eating either!"
"I also!"
As more and more people declared they would never eat Wan Shu's braised food again, the three little brats grew paler and paler, while Liu Liang's face became increasingly smug.
But his face still showed a pitiful and miserable appearance.
"I'm so unlucky to have met such a vicious woman. Luckily, everyone has eyes that can see right from wrong and can see through her poison... Aaaaaah!"
Before Liu Liang could even finish uttering the words "poisonous woman," he suddenly felt a complete numbness throughout his body.
He collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, his mouth and eyes twitching erratically.
