Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 806 - 103 Rectify Scumbags_2

"Hehe, hehe," Meng Tong chuckled dryly twice, very cleverly not picking up Xia Zheng’s words.

It was their first encounter, and Xia Zheng could hardly restrain himself from coming to blows with the man before him. Lin Yuan couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. As Meng Tong turned to speak with Liu Limin during a gap in the conversation, she quietly moved closer to Xia Zheng’s ear, unable to resist teasing him, "Didn’t you say that impatience can ruin grand schemes? My lord, you must hold back!"

Xia Zheng narrowed his eyes and glared at her, "Hold back? Someone is almost seeing all there is to see of my woman. If I were to hold back any longer, I should just go to the palace and become a eunuch! Hmph, he’s lucky he knows his place, but if he dares to look at you again, I won’t bother with plans. I’ll just order someone to ransack his house and shut down his distillery!"

"What nonsense are you talking! Aren’t you afraid of the civil officials’ condemnation?" Lin Yuan gave him a hard glare, "Talking about ransacking and sealing up as if it’s nothing—what about after that? Drown in everyone’s spittle? The Meng family doesn’t have any obvious weak spots to exploit."

Xia Zheng merely snorted with an air of unconcern, that look of undisputed superiority on his face, "Afraid of what? For you, I’d face more than the condemnation of historians; even if they took away my office, I would be pleased!"

"You," Lin Yuan looked at him deeply, the corners of her lips slightly turning up.

Having suffered a defeat at Xia Zheng’s hands, Meng Tong was very upset inside but dared not show it. He bowed to Liu Limin with a smile, "Miss Min, about what we just discussed, please do take it to heart."

Being called Miss Min utterly disgusted Liu Limin. Nonetheless, she still smiled and nodded, assuring him that she would. Yet, seeing how Meng Tong was humiliated but dared not show it, she felt inwardly delighted.

After sending Meng Tong off, Liu Limin finally couldn’t contain herself, covering her stomach and bursting into laughter, slapping Xia Zheng on the shoulder quite joyfully, "Ah Zheng, hahaha, money really does make the world go round. Look at him; you insulted him, yet he doesn’t dare to offend you! Haha, that’s so satisfying!"

Xia Zheng cast his gaze skyward, as if he hadn’t just said something offensive, wondering why his little aunt was so pleased.

Lin Yuan suppressed a smile but disdainfully glared at Liu Limin, "Hmph! And you’re laughing! Where did the shrew from Liu Family Village go? Where’s the energy you had when you were cursing the matchmaker? In front of that old lecher, you became as meek as a lamb. I’m telling you, little aunt, you’re not actually considering entering the Meng family as a Little Concubine, are you? If you want to go, just say so; I really don’t want to offend my future uncle by marriage."

Liu Limin slapped Lin Yuan on the back, huffing, "Stop it! I’d rather die than be a concubine for him!"

"Then why were you so pleased to see him?" Lin Yuan couldn’t help but murmur a comment.

Liu Limin snorted, "Was I pleased? Did you not see my face was almost as long as a donkey’s?"

Seeing the two about to argue over that old lecher, Xia Zheng hurriedly changed the subject, "Little aunt, why did he come here?"

"Him? It’s because he found out I’ve struck a deal with Fuman Building and he wants a share," Liu Limin snorted unhappily, sitting down in a chair and pouring herself a cup of tea. She had just taken a sip when she put the cup down irritably, "What business talk? I think he’s pretending to talk business but really trying to test me!"

Test?

Both Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng also took a seat. Xia Zheng poured a cup of tea for her and for himself, then said quietly, "He’s here to test whether you’ve noticed that the incident the other day was his doing."

Liu Limin nodded, "Luckily, I always keep our plan in mind and didn’t show any anomaly, or else with this old fox, he definitely wouldn’t have been fooled."

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Yuan asked, "Does he know about our relationship?"

"He should, not know, I guess?" When Lin Yuan brought this up, Liu Limin also frowned, "When he spoke of cooperation, he even lamented that I managed to get involved with Fuman Building’s business. So he probably doesn’t know."

Strange.

Lin Yuan furrowed her brow; Meng Chunyan knew, so why didn’t Meng Tong? Could it be that Meng Chunyan hadn’t mentioned it? But why not?

She believed that if Meng Tong were aware of the relationship between Liu Limin and Lin Yuan, he would certainly be wary of Liu Limin and would be more reluctant to take any action, taking into account the interests of Fuman Building.

Speaking of it, Meng Tong was also a stubborn fellow. He had only sent someone to inquire about Liu Limin’s identity when she first started her distillery, and never did again. If he were to investigate further, he would surely find out about their connection.
