"Old man, do you have any evidence that Chen Xiao poisoned him? If not, it's slander, and I can sue you with one phone call!"
Before deciding to ask Chen Xiao to treat Long Aotian, Zi Dan had already personally arranged for people to investigate Chen Xiao and knew that Chen Xiao was innocent.
"A mere wild girl from the countryside dares to threaten me?"
Song Kaichao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He jumped up and cursed without regard for his image, "If you have the guts, call now. I'd like to see how you send me to court!"
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Zi Dan was furious and took out her shockproof phone from her pocket without hesitation.
Song Xiangyu noticed that Zi Dan was using an old-fashioned phone with a keyboard and burst into laughter again, "As expected of a bumpkin from the countryside. This phone has too much of a rustic feel, hahaha..."
Even Song Yan was convinced that Zi Dan was from the countryside and hurriedly said with a distressed face, "Dr. Chen, Sister Zidan, my grandfather has just recovered from a serious illness and might not be thinking clearly. Please don't hold it against him. I'll have someone take him away right now."
As she spoke, she suddenly changed her usual gentle and intellectual demeanor, and with icy eyes that seemed to freeze three feet of ice, she pointed directly at Song Xiangyu, "Take my grandfather back to rest immediately, or don't blame me and Nuannuan for kicking you, his unrelated aunt, out of the house!"
Since Song Kaichao fell ill, almost all of the Song family's businesses, both inside and outside, had been handed over to Song Yan to manage.
Although Song Xiangyu was unwilling, she was no match for Song Yan in terms of ability. She could not snatch it away, so she could only hope that Song Kaichao would die soon and then, as an adopted daughter, get a share of the family property.
If she were kicked out by Song Yan now, all her efforts over the years would be in vain.
Like a dog being ordered around, no matter how unwilling she was, she dared not show it. She hurriedly helped the still cursing Song Kaichao and fled in disgrace.
But as the two of them reached the main entrance, they encountered Zhu Dachang, who was swaggering over, and walking alongside Zhu Dachang was Li Xin, the marketing director of Caicaizi Sushi.
When Zhu Dachang met Song Kaichao, he became even more smug, "Old Mr. Song, didn't I hear you were critically ill in the hospital? Now you suddenly appear at Zhegutian. Are you here to scold Song Yan?"
Then, he introduced Li Xin with great arrogance, "This is Mr. Li, the marketing director of Caicaizi Sushi, who was personally promoted by Chairman Ye Jinhuan two days ago!"
Song Kaichao saw Zhu Dachang's smug and detestable expression and wished he could slap him, but thinking of Zhu Dachang's backing by the Ye family, he ultimately did not dare to erupt. He spoke with a forced smile, "What brings you two to Zhegutian?"
Li Xin's greedy gaze swept over Song Xiangyu's voluptuous figure without any concealment. He said brazenly, "Nonsense! Of course, we're here to eat at Zhegutian. Hurry up and bring the Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup to the table."
Song Xiangyu was greatly alarmed and said nervously in a low voice to Song Kaichao, "Old man, these two are clearly here to cause trouble. So no matter how good or bad the Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup tastes, they will find fault with it, or even smash the place and the brand. What should we do? Alas! It's all Song Yan's and that damned Chen Xiao's fault!"
Song Kaichao remained calm in the face of chaos and pretended to be composed, saying, "Mr. Liu, you jest. Caicaizi Sushi is the leader of the catering industry in Juxian City. If you want to eat, you should go to Caicaizi Sushi..."
With a chuckle, Zhu Dachang interrupted Song Kaichao sinisterly, "As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. Old Mr. Song doesn't even dare to serve the dish. Does he think that Song Yan's new signature dish, Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup, which she launched overnight, is not worth the advertised price of 388?"
"You..."
Song Kaichao was immediately speechless.
"Serve the dish immediately, or Mr. Liu will have Chairman Ye personally call to accuse Zhegutian of deceiving consumers with false advertising!"
After Zhu Dachang issued his threat, he swaggered towards the private room where Chen Xiao and the others were, with Li Xin. He abruptly lifted the door curtain, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-smile, "Song Yan, Mr. Liu from Caicaizi Sushi is here and has specifically requested to sit in this private room. Hurry up and give up your seats, hehe."
As he spoke, he glared at Chen Xiao as if to show off.
Song Yan had already heard everything Zhu Dachang had said outside and was about to go out to handle it. Her cold eyes grew colder, "You dog who relies on power, can't you see I'm entertaining distinguished guests? Get out!"
"You..."
Zhu Dachang clearly did not expect Song Yan to show him so little respect. He was so choked that he couldn't speak, and his fat, pig-like face instantly turned red. He subconsciously looked to Li Xin for help.
Li Xin's slightly narrowed eyes scanned the three people in the private room one by one, his gaze finally landing on Chen Xiao, and then he burst into laughter, "Miss Song, are you entertaining this kid named Chen Xiao as your distinguished guest? If you'll excuse me, he's just a lickspittle at my niece's feet, not even qualified to carry my shoes, hahaha... Hahaha..."
