Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 273 - Chapter 273 Chapter 273 The Peacemaker

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Peacemaker Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Peacemaker Although she knew they were just scapegoats, having been carried on their shoulders for a while, the bones in her shoulders hurt, and Xuexue was inwardly furious, “Could murdering someone be offset by a mere apology?”

“Oh my! Oh my! Miss, you’re exaggerating, they certainly don’t have the guts to kill anyone.” Housekeeper Zhang stepped forward, chuckling awkwardly as he played the role of a mediator.

Although he was the real instigator, he was pretending to be the good guy here. Xuexue felt so nauseated inside, she said coldly, “Housekeeper Zhang, we’re both smart people here, let’s not pretend to be confused. Just speak plainly about what it is you want.”

“Good! Miss Mo is indeed straightforward and forthright.” Housekeeper Zhang was overjoyed and then disclosed his wish to partner with Xuexue in business and requested that she no longer supply ingredients to Xiaohe Restaurant.

The intention was clear; Great Harmony Restaurant planned to monopolize the ingredient supply and dominate Jingshan Town.

“That, I’m afraid I’m not able to do,” Xuexue didn’t want to engage in business with Housekeeper Zhang, as she truly had no fondness for him, especially since he had been sending people to harass her lately, making her dislike him even more.

“What? Aren’t you willing to give me face?” Housekeeper Zhang’s Buddha-like smile suddenly disappeared, turning sinister and terrifying.

“Housekeeper Zhang, you are putting me in a difficult position. I have a contract with Xiaohe Restaurant that I can’t just dismiss. In business, we value reliability,” Xuexue thought scornfully, you have some nerve.

Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Zhang’s expression softened. He paced back and forth, then turned back and said, “Miss, you needn’t worry about the penalty for breaking the contract. I’ll compensate for it, and furthermore, I will offer you a substantial sum of money to ensure you won’t have any financial worries in the future. How about that?”

After finishing, he gazed at Xuexue with his piggy eyes, which had slimmed down to mere slits, in a beseeching manner.

Recently, because Xiaohe Restaurant introduced new dishes that couldn’t be found elsewhere in the market, the old patrons flocked to Xiaohe Restaurant in droves.

Business at Great Harmony Restaurant had plummeted dramatically, the once bustling crowd was gone, and the restaurant was facing decline, operating at a loss every day. Housekeeper Zhang was nearly driven mad, repeatedly begging this village girl for help, but Xuexue was not to be fooled. When it came to using force, she also had Big Bull by her side, who had crippled their men without any advantage gained. And now, seizing the opportunity of Xuexue being alone without Big Bull, today not a single worker from the restaurant had shown up for work, as they all came to deal with Xuexue, which was indeed a troublesome effort for her sake.

Xuexue lowered her head, lost in thought for a moment, and said with a troubled expression, “It’s still not appropriate, I’m a person who values trust.”

“Miss Mo, please consider it further. Our offer is much better than that of Xiaohe Restaurant.”

No matter how high or enticing the offer Housekeeper Zhang put forward, Xuexue kept shaking her head.

“Miss Mo, I advise you not to reject the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit,” Housekeeper Zhang, seeing Xuexue absolutely unwilling to cooperate, suddenly changed his expression, becoming fiercely menacing.

“I just don’t want to cooperate with you, Housekeeper Zhang. What are you going to do about it?” Since bridges were being burned, Xuexue was blunt.

“You little brat, were you playing me just now?” Housekeeper Zhang suddenly realized, grinding his teeth in anger.

“It’s mutual, isn’t it, Housekeeper Zhang? Weren’t you the one who had me kidnapped and then blamed it on a few workers?”
