Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Big Stall

"Heh, Mom, you couldn’t possibly be unaware of how my eldest uncle died, could you?" Luo Ziyi’s eyes brimmed with tears, yet she looked at her own mother with a cold sneer, "He was even willing to lay a deadly hand on his own flesh and blood, what does a granddaughter like me count for?"

"Second Mrs. Luo, there’s no need for you to act so innocent," Yang Yu said indifferently, "In fact, when you took the poison from Mr. Luo Sr., you knew better than anyone else. It’s just that you’ve been lying to yourself, pushing all the blame onto Mr. Luo Sr."

"If you truly poisoned Luo Ziyi, you would comfort yourself by thinking it wasn’t you, her birth mother, who was too cruel, but rather that you were deceived by the old man, right?"

Second Mrs. Luo’s face suddenly stiffened, unable to utter half a word.

Luo Zhongwei’s face was clouded with gloom as he roared in a low voice, "Isn’t this all because you forced me into it! If you hadn’t gotten involved with this guy, how could your grandfather have been driven to take such drastic measures?"

Luo Ziyi replied coldly, "What does it matter that I got involved with Yang Yu? If it weren’t for Yang Yu, I would have died at sea on the way back from the Southern Ocean to Xia Country."

"I’d rather you had died on the sea on your way back to Xia Country than to have come back and caused trouble for your own parents and family!" Luo Zhongwei shouted angrily, "You knew you held so many of the family’s secrets, yet you chose to get involved with an enemy of the family. It’s not just grandfather, even I cannot tolerate it!"

"Heh, heh, heh heh heh..." Luo Ziyi let out a few hollow, mirthless laughs, "Dad, Mom, go back and tell grandfather that both of you are fine, even if I die I won’t speak out about the Luo family’s affairs."

"But, if either of you meets with an accident, I will make sure everyone knows exactly what heinous and unconscionable deeds the Luo family has done."

Luo Zhongwei and his wife were momentarily stunned, obviously, they hadn’t expected things to get to this point, that Luo Ziyi would still be considering their well-being, "Ziyi, you..."

"You gave me life, and now I am returning it to you," Luo Ziyi said coldly, "From today on, our debts of gratitude and bonds of duty are severed, I am no longer your daughter. Yang Yu, let’s go."

Without saying anything more, Luo Ziyi took Yang Yu’s hand, and they left the coffee shop together.

Watching Luo Ziyi walk away, Second Mrs. Luo couldn’t hold back and burst out crying, "If it weren’t for my own family, you wouldn’t have been forced by the old master to poison your own daughter. It’s my fault, all my fault, wuu wuu..."

"Forget it," Luo Zhongwei embraced his wife and sighed, "Being born into a family like ours, it’s all fate. Luckily, she has finally escaped the cage and can pursue her own happiness, right?"

Second Mrs. Luo nodded and wiped away her tears, "Yes, she can finally pursue her happiness without any burdens... I hope she can always be happy..."

"Yang Yu, thank you." Upon leaving the coffee shop with Yang Yu, the deeply distressed Luo Ziyi expressed her gratitude, "Did you anticipate that they were going to poison me, that’s why you gave me this amulet?"

"This isn’t actually an amulet, it’s a Detoxification Pill," Yang Yu said, "The Detoxification Pill can neutralize all poisons, and when it encounters poison, it will automatically release a fragrance. This fragrance can counteract toxic air, and if it’s an ingested poison, you can dismantle the amulet and swallow the Detoxification Pill inside."

"So that’s how it is," Luo Ziyi managed a faint smile, "Yang Yu, are you free tonight? I’d like to invite you for a drink."

"That’s fine," Yang Yu smiled, "I haven’t been to a street stall to drink for a long time, and I miss the barbecue at the stall near the place I used to rent. If you don’t mind, I’ll take you there for a drink."

"Of course, I don’t mind," Luo Ziyi nodded, "Let’s go!"

Yang Yu used to rent in the outskirts, where the street stalls were far from being as upscale as the large hotels and appeared somewhat greasy.

Yang Yu had thought Luo Ziyi would disdain sitting at a street stall, but to his surprise, she settled in quite naturally, saying, "I don’t know what’s good to eat, you order."

"Sure." Yang Yu smiled and called out to the owner, "Boss, the usual please, grilled kidneys, eggplant, cauliflower, lamb skewers, sanma fish, and pork belly."

"No problem... Eh? Is that you, Ah Yu?" The stall owner, his face covered in soot, was very surprised, "Weren’t you going to be a big boss? How come you’re back here?"

"Boss, I’ve missed your cooking," Yang Yu talked with the owner in a very natural tone, the same as before, without any airs of the nouveau riche, "You can’t just raise the prices on me now just because I’ve become a big boss!"

"Of course not." While grilling, the owner bantered with Yang Yu, "Brought your girlfriend here to reminisce the hard times?"

"Something like that." Yang Yu offered a faint smile, "Boss, how’s the business been over the past six months?"

"Not bad." The boss replied, "Just without you and Ah Qiang, it feels like lacking two big customers, ha ha... The food’s almost ready. What would you like to drink? Beer as usual, the kind that’s one bottle for one fifty?"

"Let’s have something nicer this time. I don’t mind, but I can’t let Miss Luo down," Yang Yu said, "Give us a case of Corona."

"You got it!" As the boss brought over the barbecue and beers, the aroma of cumin instantly drew Luo Ziyi’s attention, "It smells amazing!"

"Smells good, right?" Yang Yu wrapped a greasy skewer with paper and handed the grilled sanma fish to Luo Ziyi, "Try it."

"Sure." Luo Ziyi took the grilled fish and began eating, "Mmm, delicious, both savory and tasty!"

Yang Yu then handed Luo Ziyi an opened bottle of beer, "Barbecue with beer, for eternity. Here’s to us!"

With one hand holding the beer and the other the barbecue, Luo Ziyi echoed, "Here’s to us!"

While the two were enjoying their meal, a woman in her fifties approached, "Boss Ma, you haven’t paid the rent for two months now. I know you’re having trouble, but dragging this out isn’t a solution!"

The owner hastily responded, "Aunt Su, have faith in me, just wait a bit longer. I promise I’ll pay you the rent for three months all together next month."

"How can I trust you when you keep postponing month after month?" Aunt Su was clearly frustrated, "The only income my family has is from collecting some rent, and now you’re two months behind, sigh!"

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Yang Yu asked, "Boss, your business seems alright, how come you can’t pay the rent?"

"It’s all because of my spendthrift wife!" The moment he mentioned it, Boss Ma got heated, "I don’t know who told her, but she put money into some mobile app, expecting a thirty percent return in three months."

"She handles the household finances and without saying a word, she put all our savings into that app. Now, I have to borrow money to buy groceries, it’s infuriating."

"Thankfully, the term ends next month. No matter what, I can’t let her invest all our money, that’s half a lifetime of savings we’re talking about!"
