This person was really shameless to the extreme. Had he forgotten how Uncle had helped him back then? In the end, not only did he plagiarize Uncle’s recipes, he even blamed Uncle’s family for blackmailing him!
Before he came, Yu Feng, who had selective memory and wanted to forgive Chef Yang, was so angry that his veins were throbbing. It was as if he wanted to pounce on Chef Yang and throw him to the ground.
Yu Wan muttered, “He doesn’t even want to admit to plagiarizing. I think he won’t admit to hiring someone to kill.”
Chef Yang immediately exploded. “I tolerated you once or twice. Do you think I’m easy to bully?! You actually accused me of hiring killers?”
At some point, many waiters had come to watch the show.
The waiters naturally did not believe a word Yu Feng and Yu Wan said. At this moment, when they heard them slander Chef Yang for killing someone, they could not help but feel indignant for Chef Yang.
“Back then, Old Yu was injured. Chef Yang got someone to raise money to treat his leg.”
“Chef Yang is a good person…”
“That’s right. Unfortunately, good intentions are not rewarded. See, the Yu family came to extort him.”
“A bunch of ingrates…”
Ingrates? In this day and age, honest people did not have a good ending. Did this group of people forget who Yang relied on to climb up from the dust step by step? He had wiped away all of Uncle’s credit after he became impressive and a chef! Even if there was no plagiarism, Uncle was considered half a master to him. His conscience had really been eaten by a dog for treating his master like this!
Yu Wan glanced at Chef Yang indifferently. “Yang, I’ll ask you one last time. Did you plagiarize my uncle’s work?”
Chef Yang raised his chin and said righteously, “I don’t know if this was your idea or Yu Kaiyang’s. I’ll pretend that he doesn’t know. On the account that we’ve known each other for a long time, I’ll pretend that I haven’t seen you today. But if you continue to be unreasonable, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Chef Yang, report to the officials! Why are you being so polite to such a rascal?”
“That’s right, you’re just too soft-hearted. Why are you being polite to this ingrate!”
The waiters cursed one after another. They were just short of throwing rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at the siblings.
Yu Feng was furious. “I… I want to see your boss!”
“Boss isn’t here,” the shopkeeper said casually from behind the counter. He didn’t even look at the two of them. He only lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus in his hand. He didn’t really have a score to settle, he just didn’t want to bother with the two of them.
Yu Feng was so angry that his chest was heaving. “Is this how your Tianxiang Restaurant does business? That person plagiarized my father’s recipes…”
“Your father’s recipes? Is there any evidence?”
Yu Feng choked.
“I’ve seen many people like you. Even if there aren’t eight or ten in a month, there are at least three or four. What will my Tianxiang Restaurant become If we admit to every slander that was made?”
“I’m not slandering you. I’m telling the truth! Call your boss out!”
As Yu Feng and the shopkeeper were arguing, Yu Wan felt two gazes on her back. She turned her head and looked at a room at the corner of the second floor.
The window was half-closed.
Yu Wan stared at that place for two seconds. “Let’s go, Big Brother. Their boss already knows.”
“What?” Yu Feng was stunned.
“The Tianxiang Restaurant will not seek justice for Uncle. Uncle is no longer a member of the Tianxiang Restaurant. If they admit that Yang plagiarized, they will not only lose a chef, but also the reputation of the Tianxiang Restaurant that has been painstakingly built for many years. They will become the laughing stock of their peers and also suffer a huge loss. In comparison, what’s the grievance of an outdated chef?”
Yu Wan looked deeply at the window, as if she was saying to the shopkeeper, but also as if she was saying to someone else, “I hope Tianxiang Restaurant doesn’t regret today’s decision.”
“Tsk.” The shopkeeper snorted in disdain.
Yu Wan grabbed the furious Yu Feng and walked out indifferently. When she crossed the threshold, she suddenly stopped. “One month.”
The shopkeeper looked at her back with disdain. “What? You still want to come after a month?”
Yu Wan turned around and looked at the signboard shining with golden light above her head. She raised her hand and pointed. “I’ll tear it down!”
… .
After leaving Tianxiang Restaurant, Yu Feng followed Yu Wan in disbelief. “Ah Wan, you, you, you… You really have a way to tear down Tianxiang Restaurant?”
“No,” Yu Wan said honestly.
Yu Feng was instantly speechless! “Then why did you still say such harsh words?” Yu Feng was about to go crazy!
Yu Wan said innocently, “We can’t let others underestimate us.”
“…”
Yu Feng was speechless.
The two of them walked towards the carriage parked in the alley. Suddenly, a figure chased after them.
“Wait… wait!” The man said.
The two of them turned to look at him. He was a servant of Tianxiang Restaurant. He was a little old and his hair was white. However, he was energetic and his body was very strong.
“Uncle, are you calling us?” Yu Wan asked.
The old man walked up to the two of them and looked around. He whispered, “My surname is Hu. I did the cleaning at Tianxiang Restaurant. Back then, Tianxiang Restaurant didn’t want me. It was Master Yu who pleaded for me and kept me.”
It turned out that there were still people who remembered Uncle’s good points.
Yu Wan asked him, “Uncle, why are you looking for us?”
The uncle looked around again and after confirming that no one was passing by, he mustered his courage and said, “Don’t go against the Tianxiang Restaurant. You won’t be able to win… Don’t come again in the future, and don’t mention Master Yu’s matter anymore…”
He seemed to trust her uncle. Just because of this, Yu Wan became more amiable to him. “I’ll get justice sooner or later.”
The uncle hurriedly waved his hand. “We can’t get it back! You should have heard that the owner of the Tianxiang Restaurant has changed, right?”
Shopkeeper Cui had mentioned that it was because of the new owner that Tianxiang Restaurant had bloomed everywhere. In just a few years, it had opened eight branches. But from the old man’s tone, could it be that the new owner has an impressive background?
“The new owner of Tianxiang Restaurant is the Xu family!” The uncle said fearfully.
“Which Xu family?” Yu Feng asked.
The uncle exclaimed, “Which Xu family is there? It’s Consort Xu’s Xu family!”
… .
A luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the Tianxiang Restaurant.
The shopkeeper took a look and respectfully went up to open the curtain for him.
Not long after, a young man in royal blue brocade clothes walked over in high spirits. “Cousin! Why are you here?”
The fat little ball fell asleep. The man left it in the car and entered the Tianxiang Restaurant alone.
The young man held his arm and chattered, “If you hadn’t come, I would have invited myself into the palace. I’ve made the phoenix crunch for Her Highness. It was personally made by Chef Yang. Her Highness will definitely like it!”
The man frowned. “I heard that it was very noisy here just now. What happened?”
The young man waved his hand and said, “Nothing, just two stinky beggars!”
