You Know What Happens When You Offend Me, Don't You?

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "How about that? I told you our business would be great, right?"

She had barely finished speaking when she saw Zhao Lili lead several people into the restaurant.

Zhao Lili looked at the waiter and said, "Take us to the private room."

The waiter paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, miss, we're fully booked for today. If you'd like to eat, you'll have to wait a bit."

Zhao Lili snorted coldly and said, "Do you know who I am? Call your manager here."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went inside to call the manager.

Yun Duo quickly came out, saw Zhao Lili, and chuckled, "Isn't this Steward Zhao from the Earth Ranking Courtyard?"

Zhao Lili looked at the Yun Duo and chuckled softly:

"So that's where you've been hiding! You've been working as a manager here! What, do you get paid a really high salary here?"

Yun Duo, I didn't expect you to have climbed to such a high position so quickly!

The Yun Duo made a "plop" sound and said:

"Zhao Lili, do you think only those who marry into wealth deserve such treatment?"

"Can't I become a shopkeeper through my own efforts?"

Zhao Lili laughed heartily, "Through what efforts? Efforts in bed?"

Everyone around burst into laughter.

Yun Duo looked at Zhao Lili and said:

"That's none of your business, but I've heard you're very hardworking in bed."

Since you're here to eat, you have to queue, follow our restaurant's rules.

Zhao Lili snorted coldly and said, "Yun Duo, arrange everything for me right now, or I'll smash up this restaurant."

Yun Duo smiled faintly and said, "Fighting is not allowed here, otherwise it would be breaking the rules."

Zhao Lili looked at her disdainfully and said, "Rules are made by people. Here, whoever is more powerful is the rule."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. Was this guy trying to sabotage her event?

She was overjoyed. As long as Zhao Lili dared to cause trouble for her, she could cause trouble for Zhao Lili's business.

There were so many wonderful things in the Earth Ranking Courtyard that she was practically drooling with envy.

Yun Duo looked at her and said, "Zhao Lili, don't be so arrogant..."

Zhao Lili laughed loudly, "So what if I'm arrogant? Smash it! Smash it to death!"

At her words, the people behind her moved. Iron Crutch Li, unable to contain his anger, wanted to step forward, but Zhou Wanwan stopped him.

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "Let her smash it all! How can I make her pay if she doesn't smash it?"

Iron Crutch Li sighed and said, "Miss, with her temper, how could she possibly be willing to compensate us?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, of course I'm willing."

The restaurant's renovation only cost a few hundred taels of silver, but now it's all been smashed up.

Zhao Lili looked at the Yun Duo and said:

"Are you satisfied now? I think the boss will keep you."

Oh! By the way, my uncle is the head steward of Earth Ranking Courtyard. Do you know what a head steward is? It means he's in charge of all the Earth Ranking Courtyard.

This includes the outer courtyard, of course, so now you know what happens if you offend me, right?

After saying that, he turned and left.

Yun Duo was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and the other guests started gossiping, "Zhao Lili is really beautiful, but her personality is too fiery."

"Then you're wrong. Do you know the Zhao Family?"

The Zhao Family is no ordinary family. People say that the Jianghu Alliance is under the Zhao Family's control. You know what that means, right?

Moreover, the Zhao Family likes Zhao Lili the most.

"Yes, I heard from the Zhao Family that whoever marries Zhao Lili will have a dowry that will ensure they never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives."

"It's a pity that Zhao Lili has too high standards; ordinary people can't meet her expectations."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Zhao Lili's background is indeed quite powerful!"

After venting her frustrations, Zhao Lili went to the restaurant across the street, but the food there was truly unpalatable.

She sighed and said, "This is so annoying, that bitch ruined my good mood."

The people around him chuckled and said, "She's just a woman. Tonight, we'll show her what we're made of."

"Don't worry, Sister Li, you know we love Jiaojiao and pretty girls like this the most."

Zhao Lili was always quite jealous of Yun Duo, because Yun Duo was just too beautiful.

That evening, a group of people sneaked into the restaurant.

Yun Duo and Zhou Wanwan were chatting in the room. Yun Duo looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, it's all my fault. If only I could have kept Zhao Lili calm today."

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "You can't calm her down; she's always been hostile towards you."

Yun Duo sighed and said, "I've never understood why Zhao Lili treated me like this."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Because you're so beautiful, she's jealous of your looks."

Yun Duo gave a wry smile and said:

She's a high-class heiress, while my life is nothing more than rolling around in the mud.

The only thing she has over her is that she's a bit prettier, that's all.

Why did you cut off my path?

Zhou Wanwan didn't really understand either; some people were just so narrow-minded and couldn't stand seeing others do well.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside. Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Alright, Uncle Scholar Tree, your snacks are here."

Old Uncle Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "A few petty thieves are nothing to fear."

The men were overjoyed to see Zhou Wanwan and Yun Duo.

The leader said, "This little girl is really pretty, much prettier than that woman. I want her."

"Okay! You go first, and then we'll try after you're done."

The leading man rubbed his hands together and rushed towards Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan, but just as he reached her, he was entangled by tree roots and unable to move.

He shouted, "Help me! What is this thing?"

The men drew their knives, but after hacking at them for a long time, the tree roots didn't budge an inch.

They panicked, and the Old Scholar Tree pulled them out.

Then it hung them all upside down, looked at them, and said, "You like bullying women, huh? Well, tonight you'll have your fun."

The Old Scholar Tree produced a wooden horse, a torture device. Soon, these people were tied to the wooden horse, and they cried out in agony.

Zhou Wanwan glanced at them calmly from the window and said, "Serves them right."

Around midnight, the Old Scholar Tree led her to Earth Ranking Courtyard, Earth Ranking Courtyard was much quieter at night.

Soon, everyone in the Earth Ranking Courtyard was also drugged. Lingbao jumped into Zhou Wanwan's arms and said, "I thought the people from the Earth Ranking Courtyard were so powerful! They're nothing special!"

Zhou Wanwan patted its head and said, "Lingbao, your spirit whiskers need trimming again. They're growing way too fast!"

Lingbao said helplessly:

"That's right! But it's not just me that grows fast, these spirit whiskers grow pretty fast too."

The first batch of ginseng is ready for sale.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"That's true, and the ginseng grown from your spiritual tendrils is no less of a quality than wild ginseng."

It's much better than wild ginseng. But let's not talk about that now, let's get down to business."
