Chapter 122: The Mystery of the Past

The girl’s body was soft like a light cloud, and a hidden fragrance wafted over.

Yan Jiuchao’s body stiffened. He raised his hand to pry open her arms that were wrapped around his waist, but he could not move it.

She was indeed a girl who had grown up doing farm work!

Young Master Yan gave up and looked at her coldly. Let’s see what else she can do!

Unexpectedly, after bending down and waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Young Master Yan tried to pry her arms again, but this time, he easily pried it open. However, before he could stand up, Yu Wan pounced on him again and he fell onto the bed that was emitting her fragrance.

Yan Jiuchao: “?!”

Yu Wan’s hairpin fell off, and her black hair slowly scattered. It was as black as satin, making her skin look shockingly fair. She lay beside him, a soft white arm pressed against his chest. Her face was facing him. Her face was half-covered by her black hair, and her eyebrows were picturesque. Her collar had opened slightly at some point, revealing her slender and beautiful neck.

Under her neck was a pair of exquisite collarbone.

Yan Jiuchao’s gaze stopped here in time. He coughed lightly and looked away to look at the strings of plump and smooth five-colored jade hanging above the bed. In every jade stone, there was a faint image of her hugging him.

Yan Jiuchao had never thought that such a scene would appear in his life. It seemed… not that annoying.

Yan Jiuchao blinked and lay stiffly.

Yu Wan slept for a while before turning over again. This time, she removed her hand from his body and habitually pulled the blanket over him. She was treating him like Little Bruiser.

Yan Jiuchao, who didn’t know the truth: “…”

Yan Jiuchao turned his head to look at her. Actually, it was not only Yan Jiuchao who was much cuter than usual after falling asleep. Yu Wan was the same. She closed her overly calm eyes, and there was a childish look on her face. Her soft red lips were slightly open, like a silent invitation.

Yan Jiuchao leaned over. He got closer and closer and Yu Wan’s face was suddenly kissed fiercely.

Yan Jiuchao looked up and saw the three little fellows crawling onto the bed. They kissed Yu Wan’s face one by one. The three little fellows twisted their little butts and crawled in while panting. Their biological father was squeezed out of the bed. His face was as black as charcoal!

… .

Shopkeeper Cui’s life was barely saved. After today, Shopkeeper Cui would not dare to come to Lotus Flower Village for a long time.

The matter in the Tianxiang Restaurant would not be resolved so easily. As the saying goes, the winds howl around the highest peaks. The Tianxiang Restaurant’s development in recent years had been so rapid that it had caused countless peers to be jealous. Even if it was a businessman with a conscience, there were countless people who were looking forward to its downfall, let alone those without a conscience.

Xu Shao’s actions were still considered principled. However, he had a son who was holding him back. Xu Chengxuan’s actions were all blamed on his biological father, Xu Shao. The branch on Xuanwu Street had collapsed, and the business of the remaining six stores had also suffered a blow.

At the same time, the news of Chef Yang plagiarizing his colleague’s skills also spread like wildfire. There was no way to verify who had spread it. In short, the entire Capital knew about the scandal of the Tianxiang Restaurant overnight.

The past between Chef Yang and Uncle was dug out.

“I heard they’re from the same kitchen. Chef Yu took good care of him back then!”

“He wasn’t good at cooking in the beginning. It was Chef Yu who taught him!”

“Then how could he bear to steal Chef Yu’s recipes?”

“Otherwise, why would they call him an ingrate?”

“I also heard that Yang actually hired a murderer to silence him!”

“That Yang fellow is too much! He’s indebted to him, yet he’s repaying kindness with ingratitude?!”

Not long after, the news of Uncle breaking his leg also spread. After Chef Yang was accused of repaying kindness with ingratitude, everyone could not help but speculate about him.

“Have you heard? Back then, Chef Yu’s leg was broken by someone with the surname Yang! After that, he even pretended to be a good person and brought a doctor to treat Chef Yu’s leg. Actually, he just wanted to steal his recipes! Chef Yu’s leg could have recovered! He was the one who asked the doctor to drug him and cripple his leg!”

When the news reached Uncle’s ears, Chef Yang had already been arrested by the authorities. The reason was not because of plagiarism, but that he had hired killers. Shadow Six had caught the waiter, who was sent out of the Capital, and thrown him at the entrance of the magistrate prefecture.

The group of bandits recognized at a glance that this was the young man who had hired them to kill. Under torture, the young man revealed the mastermind, Chef Yang.

Chef Yang was officially removed from the Tianxiang Restaurant. The five signature dishes he “invented” would not be sold in any Tianxiang Restaurant. However, the Tianxiang Restaurant did not clear Uncle’s name.

Xu Shao also had a temper. His son had been crippled, the restaurant had been smashed, and their reputation in the industry had plummeted. What right did he have to clear the name of an outdated chef who had caused this disaster?!

Yu Feng sat in the room and sulked!

Yu Wan comforted him. “Forget it, Big Brother. They’re just a bunch of scoundrels. They’ll never admit that they’re in the wrong. They’ll only think that we’re being overbearing and blocking their path to wealth. If we argue with them, we might hurt our health.”

Yu Feng didn’t really mind. He just felt sorry for his father.

Back then, when his father was working at the Tianxiang Restaurant, the Tianxiang Restaurant had always supported his father. Now that his father was crippled and couldn’t go back, they just—

“Ah Wan, Little Feng, come over. I have something to say to you.” Uncle suddenly walked to Yu Feng’s door with his walking stick.

The siblings followed their uncle into his own room.

Uncle sat down at the table and pointed to the box beside the closet. “Ah Wan, there’s a mahogany box inside. Take it out.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan nodded. She opened the box and found an old mahogany box. “Uncle, here.”

“Open it and take a look,” Uncle said.

Yu Wan opened the mahogany box. Yu Wan thought that the item at the bottom of the box was very valuable, but it was just a tattered book. The booklet looked like it had been around for a long time. The paper was yellow and the handwriting was blurry, but the drawings beside the handwriting were still clear.

Yu Wan looked at it for a long time. “This is…”

Uncle flipped to the last few pages. “Look.”

There were words on these pages—Five Sheep Brings Bliss, Four Seas Rising, Three Stars Shining, Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl, One Autumn Leaf. However, the accompanying photos were not complete, especially the photo of One Autumn Leaf.

This booklet was really strange. There were no words where there were pictures, and no pictures where there were words.

Uncle sighed. “I know what you’re worried about. You think that the Tianxiang Restaurant didn’t clear my name and made me suffer a huge grievance. But actually, I didn’t think of these five dishes.”

Yu Wan looked at her uncle in confusion.

Uncle said, “This belongs to your father. When we found him by the roadside back then, this booklet was placed in his swaddling.”
