Although Xu Yanran apologized, she must be feeling extremely aggrieved, right?
That's right. He was initially arrogantly fighting Feng Ling Xi, but now he was forced to apologize. How could he feel good about this?
Furthermore, to apologize in public meant that she had admitted that her words and actions were inappropriate. With so many people seeing her embarrassing state, it was obvious what it would mean to her future reputation.
A woman's reputation was the most important thing. Seeing Xu Yanran acting like this, Feng Lingxiu's resentment could be considered to have been completely vented.
Xu Yanran raised her head and stole a glance at Xu Xun before she pursed her lips. She was clearly infuriated, but she still controlled her temper and said, "I was in the wrong today. I'll come and apologize to you another day."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Feng Lingxi's response and left. She walked quickly, as if something terrible were chasing her.
In fact, there was also a commotion behind him.
"Today, my sister was rude. Thank you for your forgiveness, Young Miss Feng. My Xu family will definitely come one day to apologize." Seeing Xu Yanran leave in anger, Xu Xun sighed, and clasped his hands at Feng Ling.
Feng Lingxi was not an unreasonable person, the main culprit Xu Yanran had already apologized and left, but Xu Xun's attitude was always good, so he waved his hand and said: "You can go, if there isn't a next time, then it will be fine."
Xu Xun nodded his head, and led the servants of the Xu Residence to follow Xu Yanran and chase after her.
"What to look at, what to do." Feng Ling Xi watched Xu Xun's back as he left, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the people in the restaurant were still sizing her up, and immediately shouted in annoyance.
Feng Lingxi's status was unbeatable in the entire Hundred Rivers, other than the imperial family. Just a moment ago, Xu Yanran and her did not even have the upper hand in the argument, and even though the group of customers did not dare to offend her, they all dispersed after a hush.
The moment the crowd dispersed, Chen Mu, Qin Tiansei and Chen Qingyun, who were standing in the crowd, stood out.
"Chen Mu Mu!" Feng Lingxiu's eyes lit up as she happily walked over and grabbed her hand. "Why are you here as well?"
Pausing, his face darkened, "I don't know how long you've been standing here. You've seen my predicament, right?"
The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile. She had forgotten that Feng Ling Xi was a person who cared a lot about face.
"Isn't that clearly a lie?" Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes.
"As long as you're happy." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
In any case, Feng Lingxi knew that she was lying, so it was more appropriate to say that she was happy.
Feng Lingxi shook her head. However, her expression was one of genuine joy as she smiled and said: "Girl, your mouth is getting more and more tricky." As he spoke, he tilted his head, as if he had just discovered Qin Tianshui. His gaze was somewhat strange. "Why are you two together?"
Qin Tianshui found this funny. "What you're saying is interesting. All of us are friends in the four seas. Is it really that strange that we should know each other so well?"
"No wonder." Feng Lingxi shrugged and snorted, "A fox like you never had the right to leave empty-handed. Say it, what do you want from her?"
Qin Tianshui was still a prince, but from Feng Lingxi's appearance, it seemed that she wasn't afraid of him. Chen Mu Mu's eyes darted around as he curiously asked, "You guys seem to be familiar with each other?"
"We live in the capital, and the capital is only so big. We can't even see each other. It's normal that we get to know each other." "However, Chen Mu Mu Mu, let me tell you, this fellow isn't a good person. Don't get too close to him, or else you'll be done in by him one day without even knowing."
Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was absolutely in favor of Qin Tianli's deceit, but she still had to give him face in front of Qin Tianshui, so she could only smile and didn't reply.
"Feng Lingxi, that mouth of yours is simply enough to make one want to tear it apart." Chen Mu didn't answer, but Qin Tiansei refused. He clapped his folding fan a little more forcefully against his palm and unhappily said to Feng Lingxiu, "You usually slander me, but I don't care about it much. Now that my family's Little Mu is here, you shouldn't try to sow dissension. If she misunderstands something, I'm not done with you."
"Your Little Mu Mu?" The corner of Feng Lingxi's mouth twitched as her gaze swept across Qin Tiansei and Chen Mu Mu. She said in a somewhat horrified tone, "Since when did the two of you get together?"
Her eyes were filled with regret as she looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu, "Damn brat, it's really too fast for you to change your mind. Although I don't care who you like, but why are your eyes so useless? If you fall asleep badly, you must take a fancy to a fox like Qin Tian Xi.
"What are you saying!" "Little Mu Mu is my darling, I don't want to hurt her. Don't think that just because you sow discord between us that you can take advantage of me and sneak in, it's better if you don't have to go overboard. Even if Little Mu didn't exist, this prince wouldn't have taken a fancy to a woman like you!"
"Qin Tianshui!" "Nonsense! No matter how blind I am, I wouldn't fall for someone like you. If you continue to make this up, I'll tear your tongue out and throw it at the fish!"
Qin Tiansei's skill was not bad to begin with. Moreover, he had already anticipated Feng Lingxiu's reaction and was prepared for it. Naturally, he did not let her kick him. After lightly dodging, she spat out words that would make one choke with anger, "Little Mu Mu, you saw it right? Beating is love, this b * tch loves me so much that she wants to destroy me if she can't get me. How can there be such a persistent person in this world?"
"I'll kill you!" How could Feng Lingxi's irascible temper endure Qin Tiansei's teasing? With a loud roar, she pounced towards Qin Tianshui, her attitude as if she would not rest until she had strangled him to death.
"Big Sister Sheng, please take care of me." Chen Mu Mu sighed as he swiftly grabbed onto her arm, pulling her back, "Don't be so fussy about him. Since you're acquainted with him, you should know his despicable character. If you were to fight with him in public, you would be at a disadvantage."
Feng Lingxi's face contorted with anger as her chest heaved. If it weren't for Chen Mu Mu grabbing her tightly, she would have already rushed out to fight against Qin Tianshui.
"Chen Mu Mu." Feng Lingxi was panting heavily as she glared at her, "You can't be falling in love with him like he said, can you? Why are you doing this? Can a sister like me do you any harm? "
Chen Mu said in a speechless manner, "Big sister Ji Ling, why is your brain unable to make sense of the situation? It's not like you don't know who this Qin Tianshui is, why would I fall for him? And if you believe what he says, if he says you love him so much, do you love him so much? "
"Pfft!" Feng Lingxi used her blade to scratch Qin Tianshui's head as she said angrily, "All the men in this world have died. I can't possibly take a fancy to him!"
It seemed like a cheap mouth was indeed unlikeable.
Chen Mu Mu smiled as he looked at Qin Tiansei. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes." Qin Tianliang glanced at her and sighed with a dejected look, "I've suffered a severe blow. Little Mu Mu, quickly come and console me. "
Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but shiver and feel goosebumps rise all over her body. She snappily replied, "You can speak whenever you want, don't use such a corny word. Who is your little Mu Mu? I'm not married yet, so don't ruin my reputation."
"It's fine." Qin Tianli smiled, "If worse comes to worst, I'll marry you."
"Scram." Chen Mu Mu was somewhat helpless as he looked towards Feng Ling Xi, "I understand why you're so angry now."
This person's mouth really couldn't accept it even if he didn't get slapped.
Feng Lingxi spread out her hands: "So, you still won't let me hit him?"
"It won't do us any good either." After all, Lin Xian Building was a powerful background. If they angered the Empress Dowager Tang behind them, they would not be able to bear the consequences. Furthermore, both she and Feng Lingxi were women. In this world, men were above women, and women were the weaker ones. They were too bold and showy, and were only good for them.
Feng Lingxi was a smart person, and Chen Mu could tell at a glance. Chen Mu harrumphed. Although he was angry, he didn't argue with her.
They quietened down, and the shopkeeper of Lin Xian Building walked over with an account book. With a calm expression, he said neither humble nor arrogant: "Young Miss Feng, break four tables and chairs, and scare away ten guests. Adding the dishes and wine, a total of three hundred and sixty silver."
How long would it take her to earn three hundred and sixty silver?
The person who opened the restaurant was indeed someone who had earned a lot of money.
However, even if the other side wanted to extort him, Feng Ling Xi had no choice but to give him the money. After all, she was causing trouble for the Lin Xian Building, so the fault lies with her.
If the people from the Xu family left, Feng Ling Xi would naturally have to pay for it — unless she was willing to offend the person behind Lin Xian Building.
Feng Lingxi naturally understood this principle, and she did not hesitate to take out her purse. She took out four banknotes worth one hundred taels and handed them over to him. "Give me a list, I need to go to the Xu Residence and ask for an explanation."
The storekeeper nodded his head and took the banknotes to the counter. After a while, he brought over a piece of paper and some crushed silver. He smiled and said, "Esteemed guests, please come back next time."
Feng Lingxi waved her hand. The shopkeeper smiled and turned around to walk back to his counter.
Chen Qingyun was a little surprised: "So that's it?"
"Otherwise?" Feng Ling Xi rolled her eyes at him, "How do you want him to deal with us?"
Those who caused trouble at the Lin Xian Building were either rich or noble. Even Empress Dowager Tang would not be willing to offend these people. As for the ones causing trouble, they weren't willing to offend the powers of the Empress Dowager Tang either, so they chose to find a way to balance themselves … They could open the doors to do business, but it would be fine if they were to cause a ruckus. As long as they could compensate for their losses.
Chen Qingyun opened his mouth wide, but still swallowed the words at the mouth in the end, "Maybe I was wrong."
Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly and patted his head. "You don't have to use your fists to solve everything. Open doors for business and make money peacefully."
A solution like the one in the restaurant today that could solve a problem without using any weapons was truly worthy for her to use as a reference.
Often times, the brain was more useful than the fist.
