Chapter 571: Story
Since Zhang Yuanbin had become her subordinate, she had to protect him.
She had always been very protective of the people she wanted to protect.
So, she wanted to help Zhang Yuanbin vent his anger.
Hearing Lin yuelan say this, especially after she told the family story, Zhang Xingwang was furious. However, he couldn’t respond to Lin yuelan. Although she said that it was only a story, it was actually an internal struggle within their family.
As a result, his originally dark and livid face turned red and white. He glared at Lin yuelan with a pair of angry eyes and denied guiltily, ” you said it’s a story. How would I know if it’s true or not? ”
Lin yuelan nodded in understanding. “Oh, so old master Zhang doesn’t know. I thought that old master Zhang would be very familiar with this story. In this story, the scholar who sold himself to bury his father was hired by me. And,”
At this point, Lin yuelan’s tone changed, and she said sarcastically, “old master Zhang said that I bought the Zhang family’s direct descendant as a slave and so on.”
As soon as Lin yuelan finished speaking, Jiang Zhennan’s deep and charming male voice echoed, ” that’s right, old master Zhang did say so just now.
This time, Zhang Xingwang was completely angered by Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s words to the point that his face turned green, red, and white.
He did not expect this child to be so scheming at such a young age. She was actually playing tricks in front of him.
But now, regardless of whether he admitted to it or not, it was a matter of his reputation being damaged.
A legitimate direct descendant being removed from the family and even being bought to be a slave, no matter how one looked at it, it was an existence that would make people laugh.
County Magistrate Zhou and Zhou wencai were already dissatisfied with Zhang Xingwang when he was impolite to Lin yuelan.
They wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know where he was and who he was in front of.
However, they never thought that this Lin yuelan was so smart and had such a sharp tongue. With just a few words, she had dealt with Zhang Xingwang.
Now, seeing Zhang Xingwang’s face, which was full of anger, annoyance, and embarrassment, he secretly laughed in his heart.
But very quickly, County Magistrate Zhou restrained his expression and very seriously and sternly said to Zhang Xingwang.
“Zhang Xingwang, although that Zhang Yuanbin is a direct descendant of your Zhang family, according to what I know, the Zhang family has already removed Zhang Yuanbin’s name from the family. In that case, it’s Zhang Yuanbin’s own choice about what to do with his life, and it has nothing to do with you.
“How is it Young Lady Lin’s fault then?”
Zhang Xingwang’s old face was red, and he nodded at County Magistrate Zhou in embarrassment and anger. “you’re right, my Lord. Since Zhang Yuanbin is no longer a member of the Zhang family, I really shouldn’t ask miss Lin to do anything for me.”
County Magistrate Zhou nodded in satisfaction at Zhang Xingwang’s tactfulness. “mm, since that’s the case, don’t mention this matter again in the future!”
“Yes, my Lord!” Zhang Xingwang responded unwillingly and helplessly.
In his heart, he was wondering if he could cause some trouble for the two of them in the future.
Since Zhang Yuanbin was already the restaurant’s manager, he would have to bear the responsibility if anything happened to the restaurant! At that time, he would probably not have a good life.
Zhang Xingwang, who had thought it through, immediately looked a bit better.
Lin yuelan looked suspiciously at the change in expression on Zhang Xingwang’s face. Light flickered in her eyes, and she was somewhat wary!
However, since County Magistrate Zhou wanted to be a peacemaker and let Zhang Xingwang and Lin yuelan bury the hatchet. He didn’t want their friendship to be hurt because of Zhang Yuanbin’s matter.
County Magistrate Zhou nodded at Zhang Xingwang’s tactfulness. He then turned to Lin yuelan and said, ” Miss Lin, old master Zhang was only a little impulsive because he was worried about the Zhang family’s reputation. For my sake, can you let bygones be bygones? ”
Lin yuelan wasn’t really a twelve-year-old child who didn’t understand the ways of the world.
When she Heard County Magistrate Zhou’s words, she guessed that he didn’t want her to have any conflicts with the Zhang family and wanted her to get along with them.
However, with old master Zhang’s narrow-mindedness, it might be difficult for him to be on good terms with her.
However, Lin yuelan still had to give County Magistrate Zhou some face.
She pretended to be puzzled and replied, ” eh, did old master Zhang do something impulsive? Why didn’t I know about this?” Lin yuelan immediately changed into a child’s face and said with a smile, ” I’m just enjoying the plum blossoms with master Zhang and you, Sir!
Her words, of course, were to tell County Magistrate Zhou that she had not bothered about this matter.
As for whether Zhang Xingwang bore a grudge in his heart or not, only he himself knew.
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou immediately laughed loudly.
“Haha, right, right. We’re all enjoying the plum blossoms, right? ” In the second half of the sentence, County Magistrate Zhou asked Zhang Xingwang.
Zhang Xingwang had a belly full of anger, but at this moment, he could only raise a smile and echo County Magistrate Zhou, ” yes, yes, we’re all very happy to admire the plum blossoms.”
The somewhat stiff atmosphere was finally over.
When Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan returned to the restaurant, they saw little twelve standing in front of the restaurant.
As soon as he saw Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, he immediately went up to them. Then, he said impatiently, ” Miss Lin, it’s just as you expected. Lin Sanniu did have the conspiracy to apply for work in the shed!”
