Chapter 50: Ch. 24 Part 2

But now seeing YanZhi and the not very big restaurant she felt that she thought much and gave too much credit. " no, it’s opened by my wife " Yanzhi also answered in an aloof tone which made the crowd stunned. Doctor Shi and Jinhua didn’t think of his tone as disrespectful, with Yanzhi’s identity as a martial arts master he was partially considered as an high ranking official in their dynasty. If Yanzhi decides to apply as an official now he’s rank would even be more than that of a county magistrate’s because Yanzhi was a master. Madam Huang looked at Xiao Ling disdainfully making Xiao Ling almost sneered at her ’ who does she think she is?! ’ Xiao Ling thought not wanting to be bothered by her. He put away his politely look and brought forth his arrogant and murderous deamour he uses as the Shadow Monarch.

To Xiao Ling, he would be polite with those who are polite to him and he would show his true self to those who want to think themselves better than him, he was by no means a pushover. Just because he was now in a petite body didn’t mean that he was easy to be bullied or looked down on. Madam Huang broke into cold sweat sensing a menacing pressure from Xiao Ling who at a glance looked very easy to be bullied, but now feeling such suffocating pressure she realized that he was infact a sleeping beast. Step on his tail and he would pounce on you without a second thought, she tried her best to keep calm. Doctor Shi and Jinhua feeling the pressure too were very shocked, they would have never thought that Xiao Ling could produce such pressure.

They both glanced at each other and nodded in a tactical understanding ’ both husband and wife are masters and shouldn’t be provoked at all! ’ they had the same thought. But they all felt very wronged, they thought Xiao Ling was too cheating, he had this childlike feeling around him which deceives people. Yanzhi was very proud and looked at him tenderly.

" Does madam Huang wants to go in and see? " Xiao Ling took over and asked. " y..... yes. " Xiao Ling and YanZhi led her into the restaurant along with doctor Shi and Jinhua. He started to explain to them and took them to the reception. Madam Huang decided to to share a private room with doctor and Jinhua, since she came alone with only her handmaid she thought it might be boring to eat alone so why not join doctor and his fiance. Doctor Shi and Jinhua had no problem with that so they agreed to share, a waitress walked them to their private room and YanZhi and Xiao Ling followed behind. She explained and informed what she needed to explain before passing all three of them the menu waiting to take their order. They were all fascinated by the inside of the restaurant, since coming in everything in the restaurant was a novelty, and so was the menu in their hands.

" Guest officers, please what would like to have? " the waitress asked politely. They really admired how Xiao Ling and YanZhi trained their workers. They look through the menu over and over again with so many to choose from they were at loss. They wanted to have a taste of everything drawn on the menu, because with just the drawing alone the dishes looked really appetizing. " If the guest officers are having a hard time choosing... then would you mind me recommending our signature for today? " the waiter asked politely again and they looked up at her. They looked at one another and nodded, the waiter smiled brightly. " and recommend for us some of your cold drinks too... we want the expensive ones " doctor Shi added and she nodded. They returned the menu to her and she walked out to process their order. " Xiao Ling how did you come up with all this, it’s truly fascinating and interesting. Just looking at how here is ran makes me want to come here everyday without even having to taste the dishes yet " Jinhua praised.

" My Xiao Ling is just smart and creative " they laughed as Yanzhi doted on him. Doctor Shi and Jinhua were already used to YanZhi doting on Xiao Ling every minute, but madam Huang being her first time seeing it got jealous. She couldn’t help but yearn to be doted on too, noticing her helpless and sad look Xiao Ling thought of her as a wounded animal. So distance and on edge, he thought to himself that he could now understand why she had that arrogance in her, her arrogance was used as her protective measure. In less than 20 minutes there was a knock on the door. The waitress walked in pushing a cart along with another waiter. They were surprised to see how fast the chefs and waiters were to be able to have their order ready in no time. The waiters served their dishes on the table, seeing the dishes they drooled just from the fragrance. " Guest officers, please ring the bell down there after you’re done with your meal and your deserts would be served " the waitress informed and they nodded. Before she walked out she approached Yanzhi and whispered something in his ears. Yanzhi excused himself and walk out with Xiao Ling.

" What did she say? " Xiao Ling asked as he was leading him to the entrance. " She said the people from the big house are here and making trouble outside " Xiao Ling understood when he said that. He knew that Yanzhi didn’t want to address them as his parents, they might’ve have the parents of the previous Yanzhi but there weren’t the present YanZhi’s parents. Grandma and Du shi who were making trouble saw Yanzhi and Xiao Ling approaching them with blackened faces, they broke into cold sweat and were terrified at first. But remembering that they were in the county and they were crowds around they regain their composure and arrogance " ah! here is he my grandson whom I’ve taken care of since young age. After starting to make money he separated from the family throwing away years of love and hard work i spent to raise him up as if it was nothing for a broomstar of a wife.

And now he had made it big but he no longer remembers his elders and parents. Was it wrong for my son to birth you and raised you up to where you are now? " grandma starting to wail earning the sympathy of the crowd who stopped to listen to her old grievance and gave Yanzhi and Xiao Ling disapproving looks. Xiao Ling was bewildered and YanZhi still stood there in a carefree manner as if not caring for the troubles of the world. Xiao Ling glanced at him admiring him more, to be able to put up with such people one needed to cultivate all the patience in both heaven and earth! ah! if it was him ( XL ) he might have buried them all a long time now. " How can a son be so vicious?! leaving his elders and parents who took care of him from a young age for a wife he married not long?! " someone commented and crowd broke out whispering and making their own assumptions not even knowing the truth.

This dynasty was such that, it demands one to be filial to the elders and parents even if you’re killed by those same elders and parents. But to Yanzhi and Xiao Ling that nonsense doesn’t apply to them. Seeing that she was gaining more sympathy grandma intensified her voice wailing louder, Du shi and Zhao Shi pretended to rectify grandma as they helped her up " grandma stop crying, i know my son he isn’t unfilial. He’ll surely come back to us soon, let’s give him sometime. " She said with her poisonous tongue intending to say that Yanzhi wasn’t filial to them. Hearing that the voices of the crowds got louder as they judged Yanzhi.

" You’re not my mother and you’ve never taken care of me before, none of you have. Including the man who called himself my father.. so don’t sit in front of my wife’s restaurant with your pretense " Yanzhi said viciously making the crowds disapprove with him more and talking in favor of grandma but Yanzhi paid no heed.

" Because of their maltreatment i left home when i was as old as five or six years. At such a young age i was striving

hard to be able to survive far away from home. Because if i had stayed with them i might have died since young age, i wasn’t given food to eat, i wasn’t provided with clothes, even in the cold months. I slept out in the compound yet they worked me like a donkey and bull. So tell in where did they take care of me? In where did you raise me up to be who I am now, how come i didn’t know that? " Yanzhi asked, he didn’t want to waste time with these people but if he didn’t clarify matters it might affect Xiao Ling’s restaurant which he couldn’t have. " Yanzhi don’t say that.. after your mother died... "

" Yes after my mother’s death my life became a living hell in the hands of you and your new married wife. Yes after my mother died my so called father brought in a new married wife who gave him new children and i was forgotten and made into a slave for them! " Yanzhi said in anger and all the voices quieted down.
