Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-151

After loud sounds of firecrackers, the new Baiwei Building was surrounded by bystanders. Before the Baiwei Building opened, they had heard the news that the restaurant was related to Su Li, the first talented woman in Yunjing City!

Because she was well-known, libertines hearing the news definitely would come to see Su Li at the moment.

Su Huanli wearing red clothes was full of joy. He stood in front of the door and made a bow with hands folded in front. Then he looked up and said loudly, “I’m Su Huanli. Su Li is my second daughter! Today is the first opening day of the Baiwei Building. All the dishes are at half price!”

Then, new waiters of the restaurant cannily came out to welcome the guests at once. They kept mentioning “Su Li” over and over actually. Apparently, they got Su Huanli’s instructions.

“Our Miss Su Li is good at not only the four forms of poetry but also cooking! The signature dishes of the restaurant are all developed by her!”

“Yes! Miss Su Li’s cooking is comparable to gourmands. For any ingredients, she has the ability to turn the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal. It is extremely delicious!”

“…”

The waiters tried their best to brag. Many people who wanted to leave after watching the fun became interested in it and followed the crowd to enter the Baiwei Building. In the blink of an eye, the Baiwei Building was full. The scent of the Beggars’ Chicken was overflowing on the street. More and more people followed the scent and found the Baiwei Building. The scene was the same as its opening in the Dasu Town.

Su Huanli saw that the business was extremely good on the first opening day. He was ecstatic. Old ginger was hotter than new. If his mother hadn’t asked him to attract guests by Su Li’s name, he really couldn’t have thought of the trick.

Su Li was called to help in the shop by Su Huanli. She saw the scene but did not say anything. Because she knew that even if she told him, she would only get a tongue-lashing from Su Huanli.

Besides, Su Huanli did not realize that the Yunjing City was not such a place where he could mess things up…

Su Li smiled lightly and turned her eyes. She glanced at the Yiwei Building, which had few visitors, diagonally opposite to the Baiwei Building. Before the Baiwei Building was opened, the business of the Yiwei Building was not bad. However, the dishes of the Baiwei Building were at half price today, and the taste was good. It would affect the business of the Yiwei Building definitely. Presumably at the moment, the owner of the Yiwei Building should be mad.

The owner of the Yiwei Building was mad really. To be exact, she was so mad that she wanted to kill people!

“A group of good-for-nothings! A bumpkin’s restaurant was better than ours. What can you do for me? Come on! Drag them away to feed dogs!!”

“Miss, spare my life!”

“Spare my life!”

Wu Xiuxiu stood arms akimbo and pointed at the large group of the waiters and the shopkeeper kneeling in front of her. She was so angry that her chest violently fluctuated, and her face was pale.

The owner behind the Yiwei Building was her. The ordinary people were not qualified to know it, but as long as someone had a higher position, he would know it clearly!

Su Li only stayed in Yunjing City for one month. However, not only were her two titles, the first talented woman and the first beauty in Yunjing City, robbed by Su Li, but also her restaurant’s business was completely stolen away by Su Li now!

How could she save her face? If it could be tolerated, what could not?!

“Sister, hold on. It is not exactly their faults.”

Wu Jin softly comforted his sister. Then he turned his head, his expression immediately became cold. He said, “You can be immune from the capital crime but cannot avoid the punishment. Go away to be punished!”

When the general shopkeeper with fear and panic on his face heard it, he was rejoiced and immediately knelt down to kowtow. He gratefully said, “Thank you, master! Thank you for sparing my life!”

As he said, he awkwardly took the waiters out.

“Brother!”

Wu Xiuxiu shook Wu Jin’s hands and pouted her lips. She said with grievances, “Su Li bullies me clearly! I open a shop called Yiwei Building, yet her shop is called Baiwei Building! She also steals away my business. How do I meet other people in the future?”

Wu Jin heard it and couldn’t help but laugh. He touched his sister’s hair and ridiculed her, “Have you already had a way? You sent out Anjiu and others but didn’t tell me. If our father knows it, you will get into trouble.”

Wu Xiuxiu was surprised and then smiled reluctantly. She pinched a corner of her clothes and said, “I was so mad before, and no accident happened…”

Wu Jin’s face suddenly became cold. He reprimanded her, “Xiu, you are too naive this time! Anjiu and others are the secrets of our Wu Family. If they are exposed to the Ling Family or other families of the imperial court, do you know the consequence?”

“Oops!”

Wu Xiuxiu stomped. She looked angry and said, “I was too mad. Su Li is only a slave girl from a poor and lowly family. How can she compete with me? You don’t help me but even blame me! Are you still my brother?”

As Wu Xiuxiu said, her eyes were red. Wu Jin helplessly wiped her tears and said, “If I don’t love you, who will? As for Su Li, I will help you certainly. But don’t act alone in the future. In case you give the show away, it’s hard to remedy it. Do you know?”

Wu Xiuxiu heard it and instantly smiled through tears. She embraced Wu Jin’s waist to play the woman and said, “I thought that you were reluctant to kill her because of her beauty.”

Wu Jin stroked his sister’s silky hair, and meditated for a while. He whispered, “How can it be? Even if there were ten thousand maidens like Su Li, they would not be comparable to my Xiu.”

“Chuckle. You’re a liar….”

Wu Xiuxiu immediately smiled happily. In the world, even her parents’ concern and love were less than half of her brother’s. It was wonderful that she could be her brother’s sister.

“I have already found the reason why Anjiu and others failed last time.”

Wu Jin touched Wu Xiuxiu’s little nose and said, “Do you know that Anjiu almost fought with Chen Gong? If Chen Gong hadn’t considered Su Li, he would have noticed Anjiu inevitably this time.”

A sense of fear flashed in Wu Xiuxiu’s eyes. She was annoyed and said, “Did the slut have such a luck?”

“There is an ancestral residence of Chen Gong. She happened to meet him.”

Wu Jin shook his head and said, “Besides, Su Li is shrewd. After she escaped this disaster, she has never called the carriage on the road and has always walked through busy streets. It is not a good time to kill her now.”

“How can it be?!”

The happiness of Wu Xiuxiu’s face disappeared without a trace. Her beautiful eyes looked ruthless. She said, “Brother, you have to kill her as soon as possible. I don’t want to see that face one more day!”

Wu Jin reluctantly sighed and turned to look at the door of the Baiwei Building. Inadvertently, he suddenly saw two familiar figures. His pupils suddenly shrank. How could they appear here?!

Ling Ping calmly pushed the wheelchair into the door of the Baiwei Building. Ling Li sat in the wheelchair and looked wicked. When they came in, the original noisy hall immediately fell into a dead silence. Even rich childes who were eating and drinking also looked scared. They stopped their movements and became stiff.

How could they come here?!

Ling Ping saw the scene and couldn’t help but have a forced smile. When did the guy know shyness? Ling Li would have been unwilling to come if Ling Ping hadn’t accompanied him. He didn’t know how sensational it was when they appeared together, did he?

Thinking of it in his heart, Ling Ping showed a gentle smile and said, “Today, I just come for lunch with my younger brother.”

The sentence was like a stone thrown away in the calm surface of the lake. It immediately made many childes who praised themselves as gifted scholars throw pieces of silver and escape from the other door. In the blink of an eye, most people on the first floor had gone.

Su Huanli kept collecting money and his hands seemed to be tired. He saw that there were more pieces of silver thrown on many tables. He was very pleased with himself. He didn’t care about who the two persons were. He happily moved closer to them and rubbed his hands together. He asked with a flattering smile, “Are you two guests going to have a meal or stay here?”

Although he mentioned two guests, he only looked at Ling Ping. One of them looked calm like an official, yet the other was not properly dressed and was disabled. His toes even knew whom he should ask.

However, he was obviously wrong this time.

“Old dog, are you blind?”

Su Huanli was scared by the growl and almost jumped up. When he looked down, he was immediately squirted with saliva by the latter. Ling Li said, “Damn you! Didn’t you see me? Ask your daughter to come out. Serve food and pour wine for me! Otherwise, I will pull down your stop!”

Su Huanli was in a daze because of the abuse. The master even threatened to pull down the stop because of his small mistake. It was the first time that he had seen such an arrogant master.

Ling Li was furious. Before he abreacted his anger, a trembling waiter walked forward and stammered, “General Ling, Master Ling! Miss… Miss is at the private room on the second floor. Welcome you there.”

Ling Li heard it and laughed. He pointed at the waiter and said fiercely, “What are you doing here? Lead the way for me!”

The waiter trembled and immediately went to the second floor.

Ling Ping shook his head helplessly. Perhaps, his younger brother couldn’t change his temper. Fortunately, Ling Li knew that he could threaten others first. He used to turn up his nose at everyone. He thought that everyone in the world knew him. Once he passed by a stop which he hated to see, he would pull it down. The Ling Family paid a lot of money for that.

Su Huanli saw Ling Ping lift up the wheelchair with one hand and go upstairs. He was stunned and then came to his sense. It seemed that he had stood a cold wind. He could not help but shiver. Then he grabbed a scared waiter and asked the waiter details of that person. He was frightened.

Just now, he almost abused the most arrogant master in the entire Yunjing City. The Baiwei Building was almost demolished!

For a time, Su Huanli was very grateful to the waiter who interrupted him. There was no anger in his heart, and only the deep uneasiness was left. He hoped that Su Li did not provoke that person…

Entering the private room on the second floor, Ling Ping immediately saw Su Li who sat up here for waiting. A sense of amazement flashed in his eyes. Last time, he was upset and didn’t pay attention to her at the feast. Now they met in the different environment. He really felt that the woman was delicate and pretty like an orchid, as the rumor had it. She was worthy of the title of the first beauty in Yunjing City.

“Su Li is here to salute General Ling and Master Ling.”

Su Li stood up and slightly saluted. Her voice was ethereal like a bird, and she was natural and graceful.

Ling Ping praised secretly. He said with a smile while pushing Ling Li in, “Miss Su Li, there is no need for the salute. We come today only because my younger brother has admired you for a long time. We come specially to meet you.”

While Ling Ping said courtesies, he felt regrettable in his heart. Although Ling Li was the best younger brother in his heart, to be honest, how could Brother Li be worthy of such an excellent woman?

He was over twenty years old. Brother Li was seventeen years old. They both hadn’t gotten married. Their mom and grandma had been so anxious. It was not difficult for him to marry because of his honors. However, Brother Li was disabled had a playboy’s temper. The cultured families were not willing to marry off their daughters. But as for those who wanted to be a member of the Ling Family with evil intentions, mom and grandma were not at ease, for fear of hurting Brother Li.

Ling Ping remembered that when mom heard that Brother Li had a girl of his heart, she was so joyful and wanted to see the woman. She also specially asked him to help. Alas…

Su Li glanced at the playboy who almost drooled with a lewd face in the wheelchair. She couldn’t help but smile. She said, “General Ling’s words make me feel extremely flattered. However, the identity of your brother… I may have no luck to enjoy.”

She didn’t indeed have the luck to enjoy the dignified Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult.

Ling Ping had a forced smile. He thought that Su Li’s words meant that she disliked and avoided his brother.

A sense of anger flashed in Ling Li’s eyes. Su Li… He rarely found the opportunity to see her. How could she drive him away?

“Brother, go out first! I’ll personally talk to Miss Su Li!”

Ling Ping was urged to leave by his younger brother when they just came in. He felt that it was both funny and annoying. He repeatedly transmitted the sound in silence, “Do not bully her. If I hear Su Li’s crying for help, I will not pardon you!”
