400 Domineering (Part 2)

Liu Qinqin felt like it was totally unreasonable.

Even though Li Xiangjun had become a good-tempered person, she couldn’t bear to listen to her pestering.

Coincidentally, Fang Tianliu’s appearance also gave her the confidence to speak up. She glared at Liu Qinqin with cold eyes and a look of disgust. “You don’t know shame at all. You’re a woman that’s clinging to someone else’s husband. You’re shaming your family’s name!”

“Xiangjun,” Fang Tianliu looked at Li Xiangjun with bright eyes, “I like your straightforward personality. Just looking at you makes me very happy.”

His voice was very loud, and all the people around the shop who were watching the show heard him clearly.

Li Xiangjun’s face turned red and she glanced at him affectionately.

Fang Tianliu’s body went limp, and he smiled as he moved closer to her, his tone full of love.

“Xiangjun…”

Liu Qinqin looked at the two lovey-dovey couples and was so angry that her internal organs started to hurt.

“H-how dare!”

Zhao Zhan hugged Yue Jiaojiao tightly, “Jiaojiao, do you want to accompany me to the end of the street to take a look at other things? Changning is waiting over there.”

“Alright, sure.”

Since Changning was waiting there, they must have already chosen the address of the restaurant.

Liu Qinqin blocked Zhao Zhan’s way and bit her lip as she looked at him. “Zhao Zhan, it’s your first time in Shangjing. If you encounter any difficulties in business, my father can help you. I can introduce you to my father.”

“Yesterday at the city gate, you accidentally killed my beloved horse. I can let that go but-”

“Zhao Zhao, this woman is being aggressive. Her words are sharp and hurtful…”

Jiaojiao pretended to cry on Zhao Zhan’s shoulder. She didn’t want to be involved with this woman.

Zhao Zhan naturally held her closer.

“I won’t let you encounter such an unlucky thing again.”

Liu Qinqin threw the bag in her hand, and it went straight toward Yue Jiaojiao.

Zhao Zhan immediately grabbed the bag that was directed toward Jiaojiao.

Liu Qinqin’s face was red as she stumbled into Zhao Zhan’s arms from the momentum of throwing the bag.

She knew that the other party’s performance just now was only because his wife was beside him.

Look, she saw a little chance, so what if she wanted to fall into his arms?

“Ah-!”

Liu Qinqin’s eyes narrowed. She didn’t fall into the warm embrace but instead fell onto the hard ground.

“It hurts!”

When she pounced on him, Zhao Zhan let go of the bag and pulled Yue Jiaojiao to the side to hide at the door.

The other party was blocking his way, so he took the opportunity to go out.

Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun naturally went around Liu Qinqin who was lying on the ground and followed the two of them.

Changning had been waiting at the end of the street for a long time.

Changning quickly went up to them when the four of them appeared. “This is the contract for the restaurant we just rented. Please have a look.”

This restaurant used to be an inn.

Because it was located at the intersection of two streets, it was pretty lively. If it wasn’t for the fact that the former owner had caused trouble and had to sell it, they wouldn’t have been able to get such a good location.

The rent was 600 silver a year. In addition, they had spent 1800 silver to buy the restaurant.

Zhao Zhan paid five years of rent in one go.

The restaurant was three stories high, and the rooms that were originally used as inns had been demolished and cleaned, leaving only a little trace of their existence.

“I’m going to renovate this restaurant according to your original plan. I’ve already found someone to order the table, chairs, and tablecloths. Master Sun will bring some people here to start work tomorrow.

“After I arrived in Shangjing, I found out that there was a delivery service in Shangjing. Now I have to open another window for delivery.”

Yue Jiaojiao was not worried about the restaurant’s business at all.

Zhao Zhan was no longer the same as before. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was now like an old fox in the business field.

Yue Jiaojiao stood at the restaurant’s entrance and looked around. She then pointed at a small shop across the street and said, “Xiangjun and I looked around here already. That shop’s business seems to be extremely cold. We’ve been standing here for almost two hours, and only two people have gone in, and they came out as quickly as they went in. I want to go in and take a look.”

Just now, there were only her and Li Xiangjun. The shop’s signboard was as good as gone. The door was extremely small and it looked dark inside. They couldn’t see the situation inside clearly, so they didn’t enter rashly.

“About that… That shop originally sold embroidery, but their owner disappeared last month, leaving only an orphan and a widow in the family. People on the street say that the wife of this family is a jinx, so people who come spread that it was a taboo being there and are unwilling to go in anymore.

“As time passed, many women were afraid of being infected with the taboo of bringing bad luck to their husbands, so they stopped going there. This business has declined in just a month.”

“An embroidery business?”

“I want to take a closer look.”

Yue Jiaojiao had just moved when Zhao Zhan followed closely behind her. “Jiaojiao, what do you want to do with this shop?”

He knew his wife’s ability better than anyone else.

She was exceptionally intelligent. She had many novel ideas and recipes hidden in her head!

“Trust me.”

Yue Jiaojiao let the other party stick to her. When they reached the door of the embroidery shop, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Zhan, wanting to say something. “As for what I plan to do with it, I’ll need to go in and take a look first before deciding.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already pushed open the door of the shop.

The light shone into the shop and dispelled the smell of dust.

A trembling woman subconsciously shrank back in panic as she held the child in her arms. When she saw Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan, she quickly put the child in her arms aside and stood up by herself. “W-would you like to buy some embroidery?”

While they were talking, Yue Jiaojiao had already looked around the shop.

Although there was a smell of dust, the embroideries were arranged very neatly, and it was obvious that they had been deliberately placed there.

“The embroidery here doesn’t seem to be too complicated,” Yue Jiaojiao picked up an embroidery sample and looked at it carefully. Her tone was gentle, and she didn’t mean to pick on it. “Are there any more exquisite patterns in the shop? If you do, can you take it out for me to see?”
