Chapter 236

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zheng Ruqian had been enduring it the moment Jiang Chenghua said the first word, but he really couldn't stand it anymore and finally yelled out loud.

He remembered this arrogant young lady from a prestigious family.

Initially in Xieyang County, she had walked into You Ran House nobly and elegantly, with her maids pushing Jiang Sheng to the ground on all fours, still covering her injured palms.

Later at the entrance of Wenchang Pavilion, because of a car accident that no one could explain clearly, his big brother, fifth younger brother and little sister were almost forcibly arrested by the people she sent.

Afterwards at the entrance of Jiuzhen Store, she kept talking about etiquette, righteousness, integrity and sense of shame, looking down on this and looking down on that, and even set up a memorial archway for herself after scolding others.

Every single thing, whether personally experienced by Zheng Ruqian or described by his fifth younger brother, was particularly irritating.

When he was young or away from home at that time, it led to his sister being so bullied.

Now that it really happened before his eyes, he felt that this was intolerable.

Zheng Ruqian rolled up his sleeves and gritted his teeth, "You prestigious young lady from a prominent family in Fengjing, is your dozen years of upbringing just being able to call others 'country girl' all the time and say that others are ill-mannered? Or are you questioning others' ability to do business?"

"What kind of person is this? What kind of person is that? And what kind of person are you? What do you amount to? I--Ptooey!"

"My big brother was too polite to swear when you bullied people in the past, and my younger siblings were too young to fight back, but I, Zheng Second Elder Brother, don't like to talk about etiquette. You bullied my sister, which means you bullied me. Don't blame me for scolding you with dirty words without showing you any face."

With a bunch of aggressive words, Jiang Chenghua's face turned pale, and she took a few steps back.

She stretched out her fair and delicate hand, pointing straight at Zheng Ruqian, and after a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence, "This You Ran House is the Jiang Family's property."

The implication was that she wanted to threaten him with terminating their business partnership.

Zheng Ruqian put down his rolled up sleeves, smiled disdainfully, "Since the owner of You Ran House looks down on us commoners like this, we don't have to do business with them. " Or rather, from the moment he started scolding others to stand up for his sister, he had no intention of continuing to do business with You Ran House.

Businessmen value profits.

Whether it was Boss Bai wanting to buy cheap bacon behind his back at a lower price, or Boss Hao secretly raising his own ducks, it proved that the cooperation between them was not stable, and they were all planning for their own interests.

Zheng Ruqian was now a full-fledged businessman, and he understood more clearly the benefits he could bring about by running around.

In the future, countless goods would be transported from the south to the north, and then from the east to the west. If You Ran House didn't want them, there were people who would.

Fengjing never lacked restaurants and taverns.

"You...you..." Jiang Chenghua was so angry that she almost suffocated.

She was a young lady from a prestigious Fengjing family, raised with great effort by the Jiang Family. Even when she looked down on others, she had to cite ancient sayings and rules. She had never seen such an eloquent rascal.

Even Jiang Chengyuan was stunned as he stared with rounded eyes standing on the side, struggling internally.

"Brother..." Jiang Chenghua's brows furrowed slightly as she tried to call her brother to his senses with tears, "He bullied me, he insulted me..."

Only then did Jiang Chengyuan come back to his senses from his daze, and subconsciously protected his sister, looking towards Zheng Ruqian.

Second Elder Brother Zheng was not afraid at all. He rolled up his sleeves and spat again, "It was your sister who bullied others first. I am also an elder brother. I cannot allow others to insult my sister like this. Search your heart, if you were me, wouldn't you do the same?"

He would surely do the same.

Jiang Chengyuan nodded blankly, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

Jiang Chenghua was devastated once again. She clutched her chest, feeling that she was about to lose her balance.

At this tense moment, the door of the elegant room for the boss was pushed open.

Jiang Sheng was hugging half a bag of candied chestnuts in her arms, with three or four chestnut kernels in her hand, happily stuffing them into her mouth.

While stuffing them, she politely declined, "Boss, eat more, eat more, don't stand on ceremony."

When she turned her head and saw Zheng Ruqian rolling up his sleeves, the silly Jiang Chengyuan, and the tearful Jiang Chenghua, she was also stunned for a moment. It took quite a bit of effort for her with a mouth full of sweet and sticky chestnuts to swallow them down.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Sheng looked at Zheng Ruqian, "Do you also want to eat chestnuts?"

What a silly girl. Zheng Ruqian chuckled and took a peeled chestnut kernel from her hand and put it in his mouth, "Eat? Why not? I worked hard to transport them here from Hebei."

Jiang Sheng showed a mouthful of small white teeth, "Then let me peel the skin for you, brother."

Just as the siblings were about to turn sideways to leave, the suppressed Jiang Chenghua finally erupted, "Boss, I don't allow You Ran House to do business with them, I don't allow it!"

As the saying goes, prestigious family daughters from Fengjing have so many rules to follow. Even when she was so angry, her voice was still soft and gentle. She still had to get He Rui to pass on the message and call out the boss who was inside eating chestnuts.

"Third Miss, Eldest Young Master." The fat boss had a hard time swallowing, his fat greasy face was full of choking. "What's the matter?"

"I said, I don't allow You Ran House to do business with them." Jiang Chenghua pointed at Jiang Sheng and said word for word.

This time, not only the boss was stunned.

To tell the truth, You Ran House cooperated quite a bit with the Jiang siblings.

Not to mention the bacon and sausages, they also discussed cooperation on dried green beans, as well as the newly proposed pastries.

Although terminating these partnerships wouldn't cripple You Ran House, wouldn't it be better to do more business and earn more money?

What if Jiang Sheng turned around and sold the goods to other restaurants, wouldn't that be handing over customers on a silver platter?

But since the mistress of the family had spoken, the boss didn't dare to refute her and could only obediently agree, not knowing what to do.

At this critical moment, Zheng Ruqian grabbed Jiang Sheng's hand and deliberately said, "Sister and I won't make things difficult for the boss. If business can't be done then so be it. The previous cooperation agreements are hereby terminated. Boss, if you want to eat chestnuts, please feel free to come to Jiuzhen Store anytime, we won't bother you here anymore."

After speaking, he pulled the still somewhat confused Jiang Sheng and strode away.

The boss' old tears were almost coming out. Compared with the relentless mistress of the family, these two siblings were quite reasonable.

Moreover, these chestnuts were indeed delicious.

The only one left was the boss who sighed.

There was also the smart He Rui, the second brother of the store. He looked at Jiang Sheng who went away, and then looked upstairs at Jiang Chengyuan.

For the third time, for the third time he felt that this little girl looked a bit similar to Madam Jiang.

Especially those big round eyes, they were like Young Master Jiang's when he was surprised.

They said things happen in threes. He Rui couldn't help but boldly associate the two together.

He leaned close to the boss and quietly asked, "The person you asked Old Master to help find before...who exactly was it?"
