Chapter 123 A Martial Arts Transmigration Story (4)
Jiang Xinyue gave Gu Shijiu a victorious look, but then felt it was pointless looking at Gu's blank face.
I was secretly relieved that I had managed to buy vegetables from a farm further away.
Otherwise, this banquet wouldn't be able to take place today, and other restaurant owners would have benefited.
An hour later——
Jiang Xinyue stared blankly at Gu Shijiu and Lin Wei, who were still eating.
How could I have forgotten about those two?
In the past, she would have definitely kicked these two freeloaders out.
But now Lin Wei is the newly appointed leader of the martial arts alliance, and there is a high-ranking official next to him who is called the commander.
"Shi Qi, try this." Gu Shijiu placed a large piece of sliced beef on Shi Qi's plate. "It's so delicious."
Since arriving in this little world, she had never eaten such delicious food anywhere else.
Although Shi Qi was already full, she still accepted the orange and peeled it for her.
At the table next door, Lin Wei had a whole roasted suckling pig right in front of him.
He has already eaten three of these roast suckling pigs.
Looking at Gu Shijiu next to him, he was gnawing on a chicken leg with his left hand and picking up food with chopsticks in his right hand, without any delay, his mouth full of oil.
Jiang Xinyue couldn't bear to look and turned her face away.
Three hours later—
"Mr. Jiang, you've gone to so much trouble today." Shi Qi greeted Jiang Xinyue with a beaming smile and a cupped-hand salute.
The martial arts heroes around her joined in flattering her: "Boss Jiang is truly a heroine among women."
"Oh, Young Master Feng is so handsome, and Boss Jiang is so beautiful. You two are truly a perfect match."
"Whenever you hold your wedding, I will definitely attend."
......
Jiang Xinyue looked at the empty kitchen and inwardly squeaked like a groundhog.
These so-called heroes, apart from those from major sects, are probably all similar to the Mad Saber Sect.
They weren't there to show their support; they were clearly there to freeload.
Jiang Xinyue looked down on ordinary knights-errant, but on the surface she could only force herself to say, "As long as you think it tastes good, sir, come often when you have time."
She only invited Shi Qi; everyone else was ignored.
But people from the martial arts world don't care about these formalities; as long as they enjoy the meal, that's all that matters.
Shi Qi seized the opportunity and said, "It just so happens that I do need to stay here for a while, but it might not be very convenient to come here all the time."
Jiang Xinyue waved her hands repeatedly: "How could that be? You are welcome to come often, sir."
A restaurant that high-ranking officials eat at every day should attract more diners.
Jiang Xinyue felt slightly comforted by this thought, and became even more enthusiastic, personally escorting Shi Qi to the store entrance.
She didn't see Feng Lin's fiery eyes behind her.
After Shi Qi left with Gu Shijiu and Lin Wei, who were completely satisfied, Feng Lin finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Moon, what do you mean by this?"
Feng Lin is the male lead, so he naturally has the pride of a male lead. He cannot accept Jiang Xinyue trying to please other men.
Jiang Xinyue said matter-of-factly, "I'm doing this for the sake of the restaurant's business. How can you do business without socializing?"
"Don't forget, I paid for this restaurant to open it." Feng Lin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
He paid for Jiang Xinyue to indulge her boss-like fantasies, so why should he put up with this?
Feng Lin was an ancient man from an outstanding family, and he had been a favored son of heaven since childhood. His temper was actually quite good.
But Jiang Xinyue is from the modern era, and her pride seems inappropriately high.
Hearing Feng Lin mention money, she felt humiliated: "Didn't I earn any money? Don't worry, I'll pay you back later."
Feng Lin hadn't meant it that way, but hearing these words made him furious.
"You're trying to distance yourself from me now? What, you've found someone better?"
"If it weren't for me, you'd still be in Han Qing's hands, waiting for someone to rescue you."
In the script, Han Qing is always alive and appears from time to time to try to take Jiang Xinyue away, so Feng Lin naturally values her even more.
In addition, Feng Lin was young and successful at the time, and he was always complacent. Jiang Xinyue's business grew bigger and bigger, so the two got along quite well.
Now that Han Qing is dead and Feng Lin has suffered setbacks, the contradictions have become more apparent.
...The two parted on bad terms.
A month later, Jiang Xinyue was filled with regret after hearing the shopkeeper's report.
She did invite the commander to dinner anytime, that's true, but how could he have the nerve not to pay?
He even brought two rice buckets with him, and he came every day!
Once they arrive, the shop can't serve any other customers.
Once a commander arrives, the area must be cleared.
Secondly, once they arrive, the restaurant's ingredients will have to be cleared out, leaving no food to serve others.
Jiang Xinyue wanted to cry but had no tears.
We're practically bankrupt this month; if this keeps up, these three will eat the store out of business.
This can't go on; we need to think of a solution.
But looking at Shi Qi's face, she really couldn't bring herself to ask for money.
I didn't want it before, so it's not really appropriate to ask for it now.
For some reason, Feng Lin used to give her whatever she wanted, and she often threw tantrums.
Although Han Qing imprisoned and forced her while he was still alive, she was not afraid at all and even dared to provoke him.
Shi Qi was kind to people but had a hostile attitude, calling him "Boss Jiang" repeatedly, which made her feel somewhat intimidated.
Jiang Xinyue had already figured it out; the commander only liked Lin Yu and was probably there to vent someone's anger.
Thinking of this, she was both angry and resentful. It was all Lei Ming's fault. She should never have gotten involved with him.
Otherwise, Lin Yu would still be living a perfectly good life as the wife of Lei Ying Manor.
At this moment, she remembered how good Feng Lin was.
The restaurant can't stay open anymore; the commander is deliberately preventing her from running it. Who will help her?
Jiang Xinyue awkwardly approached Feng Lin to plead for peace.
However, Feng Lin had already returned to Fengxiang Manor.
This experience made him realize that he still has a long way to go.
After reflecting on his behavior during this period, he decided to devote himself to martial arts training and become a great hero in the future.
The manor manager came to deliver a message: either Jiang Xinyue would return to the manor with him, or they should never see each other again.
When Jiang Xinyue arrived in ancient times, she lost her protection and could not survive, so she had no choice but to go to the mountain villa.
This time, however, she did not move in as the future legal wife.
"What does this mean?" Jiang Xinyue frowned as she looked at the clothes the steward had brought her.
The steward's expression remained unchanged: "This is the concubine's allowance for this season. The master and his wife have always treated everyone equally, and the young lady will not be shortchanged."
Jiang Xinyue threw the clothes on the ground: "What concubine? When did I ever agree to be a concubine?"
“Miss Jiang, if you don’t become a concubine, you can only be a maid or servant. You should think it over carefully.”
The steward picked up the clothes and dusted them off.
Such fine fabric is something that even the most respectable servants in the Feng family can only afford, let alone ordinary people.
"I want to see Feng Lin," Jiang Xinyue said coldly.
"Young Master is at the training ground, I'm afraid he's too busy." The steward's face darkened slightly.
Since Jiang Xinyue came to the Feng family, she has only seen Feng Lin a few times, and each time she has been complaining.
At first, Feng Lin comforted her, but after a while, he found it annoying and gradually stopped coming over.
Jiang Xinyue was trapped in the domestic power struggles she had created herself, and never left the house again until her death.
