Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Easily Settled

Seeing the situation spiraling into greater chaos, Chu Yi quickly realized that he could no longer stand idly by.

The two men clearly intended to keep arguing and were even planning to lay their hands on the server.

"If you two have any issues, you can speak directly to the manager. There’s no need for such measures, right?"

Chu Yi, with a stern expression and an imposing aura, effectively silenced the two ruffians so that they couldn’t speak up.

"I, for one, want to ask—who gave you Silver to come here and slander us?"

"What slander? Who are you? Hurry up and bring your manager out!"

The man with the triangular eyes, unable to outtalk Chu Yi, resorted to acting like a hooligan.

His hand forcefully slapped the table, "I’m telling you, if you don’t call your manager out today to compensate us with Silver, this won’t be over!"

Their commotion was already affecting the mood of many diners.

Some were even considering leaving before the meal.

After all, they came to enjoy their food, not to watch a brawl.

Chu Yi furrowed his brows and looked over, "Aren’t you looking for the manager to make a decision? I can make decisions too, you can just tell me."

"How is that possible?" The man with triangular eyes was surprised, clearly misinterpreting Chu Yi’s words, "I clearly heard that the manager is a woman..."

"Heard? From whom did you hear?"

Hearing his words, Chu Yi’s gaze became even sharper.

"Did that person also give you Silver to create a disturbance here?"

Chu Yi, upon seeing the demeanor of these two men, had already guessed that someone must have instigated them to come here and cause trouble.

And whoever wanted them to make a scene here must have a grievance against Chu Nanli.

"Who gave Silver? Don’t make false accusations!"

The man with the triangular eyes, his thoughts uncovered by Chu Yi, grew even more panic-stricken.

Indeed, the brothers were local bullies of the capital.

Someone had found them yesterday, giving them Silver, and told them to create a disturbance in this hotpot restaurant.

These brothers spent their days loitering outside, surviving by petty theft, so getting a large sum of Silver out of the blue, they hastened to the scene without a second thought.

They assumed that once they pointed out the tampered-with dishes, the manager would immediately use Silver to silence them.

They had pulled off such schemes before.

Little did they expect to encounter someone as tough as Chu Yi today.

"Look everyone, my brother only took a few bites and ended up like this, who in the future would dare to dine here?"

The man with triangular eyes, while speaking, tried to attack Chu Yi again.

But he was no match for Chu Yi and couldn’t even get close before Chu Yi neutralized him.

"This item in the dish is obviously added later. Everyone can see that even our most careless server wouldn’t bring up a dish mixed with such things, right?"

Chu Yi was naturally handsome, and spending months with Chu Nanli made him even more distinguished.

His words carried an air of credibility.

"Exactly, I’ve dined here with my family several times, and we’ve never encountered anything like this."

"Could these two be trying to dodge paying the bill?"

The expressions of the surrounding crowd began to soften once more.

Chu Yi continued, "Everyone, don’t worry. I have already sent someone to inform the Official Residence. The truth will come out once the officials arrive and investigate!"

"No, we can’t report it to the authorities!"

Hearing Chu Yi’s words, the man with triangular eyes immediately started to panic.

He had merely intended to swindle some Silver. Had he known it would involve the officials, he would never have agreed to that woman’s request!

As soon as he heard the words "report to the officials," the man who had been feigning death on the ground scrambled up even faster.

In contrast, it became obvious who had a guilty conscience.

Chu Yi gave a small signal to the waiter beside him, asking them to first take the people to the back.

The incident today happened suddenly, and of course, Chu Yi could not have arranged for someone to go to the Official Residence beforehand.

What he had done was merely to bluff the two of them.

This trick was something Chu Nanli had taught him.

And naturally, the two troublemakers could not just be let go.

It still had to be ascertained who had sent them here in the first place.

Chu Yi cleared his throat and continued, "Regarding the incident just now, I apologize for disturbing everyone. As compensation, today all customers in the store will receive a fifty percent discount on their bills, and we will also offer three complimentary dishes."

How he defused the situation had all been observed by Chu Nanli.

And she was extremely satisfied with his handling of the matter.

Meeting Chu Nanli’s smiling face, Chu Yi suddenly lost the commanding presence he had downstairs.

His ears turned a slight red, and he even stuttered a bit, "Master, I didn’t embarrass you just now, did I?"

"Of course not, you did very well."

Chu Nanli replied with a beaming smile, her gaze towards Chu Yi filled with additional admiration.

She nodded, "With you here to manage this place from now on, I can rest easy."

Looking at Chu Yi’s current state, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but be reminded of when she first bought him.

He really had changed a lot.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Chu Yi, have you ever thought about what you would like to do if one day you’re no longer with me?"

"Master, are you saying you don’t need me anymore?"

The expression on Chu Yi’s face suddenly became panic-stricken, and he even forgot the honorifics he always kept in mind.

"Is there something I have done wrong? If there is, please just tell me directly, you mustn’t cast me aside!"

His panic also affected Yanyan who was beside him.

Yanyan looked on, full of worry, but dared not interject, only feeling anxious on the side.

Chu Nanli found the situation between laughter and tears, "When did I ever say I no longer needed you?"

"What I meant was, even though I bought you all initially, I never intended to keep you as slaves for life. Eventually, you will have to live your own lives, right?"

Seeing Chu Yi’s reaction, she knew he definitely hadn’t given it any thought yet.

"Never mind, take your time to think about it. If some day you find something you really want to do, you can always talk to me about it."

Actually, she wasn’t just addressing Chu Yi with these words.

She was also speaking to Yanyan.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi’s expression remained somewhat somber.

If possible, he only wanted to stay by Chu Nanli’s side for the rest of his life.

If Chu Nanli was unwilling, then he would have no choice but to leave silently.

Seeing Chu Yi fall silent, Chu Nanli didn’t intend to press him further.

There were clearly more important things to attend to at the moment.

That was to figure out who had sent those two men to cause trouble.

Chu Nanli naturally thought of Lin Fuying immediately.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, Lin Fuying wouldn’t be foolish enough to resort to such tactics.
