Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1423 - 242, Making a Huge Ruckus (39)

Seeing Wei Boyu still rolling his eyes with no signs of waking up, Yan Ruchun coughed awkwardly a couple of times.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Yan Ruchun’s eyes darted around before she clenched her fist and began pounding vigorously on Wei Boyu’s chest.

Watching Yan Ruchun pounding with such effort, Wei Borong and Xu Muqing were both stunned.

"Miss Yan, although I know you’ve had your differences with my older brother, but, but he’s already in such a state, please, I beg you to show mercy and spare him!"

"Yes indeed, Fatty, big brother, big brother is already so pitiful, sob sob."

Yan Ruchun rolled her eyes and really didn’t know what to say to these two idiots, "I’m trying to save him!"

Wei Borong and Xu Muqing obviously didn’t believe it, this didn’t look like saving someone at all, was this even the way to save someone? It clearly looked like murder! Just look at how fiercely satisfying her punches were, it was unbearable to watch!

*cough cough, cough cough.*

Finally, Wei Boyu responded.

Wei Borong and Xu Muqing, overwhelmed with joy, clung to Wei Boyu and started sobbing.

The whole event had only taken a couple of minutes, but for everyone involved, it felt like a brush with death, especially for Wei Boyu. Had he really been left to die by his own brother, he would surely have become a laughingstock throughout the Capital city.

Following the incident, Wei Boyu’s attitude toward Yan Ruchun had improved considerably, though it was merely limited to not fighting upon meeting anymore.

Having calmed his emotions, Wei Borong remembered the favor Yan Ruchun had asked for earlier and immediately patted his chest, assuring her that he would handle it well.

Yan Ruchun smiled and then shared the incident of her father being framed.

"So, I hope you can help me investigate who bribed those people to plant Five Stones Powder in Dong Tian and pin the whole thing on my dad."

Obviously, the group had already heard about the incident.

Wei Boyu was about to say something, but remembering how he had just been saved, he swallowed his words back down.

However, Wei Borong, who was straightforward and lacking in guile, immediately asked in surprise, "Ah? That incident wasn’t done by your dad?"

"Of course not!" Yan Ruchun declared righteously, "My father may seem stern and serious but he is a man of principles. Resorting to such despicable methods for unfair competition is certainly not his style!"

Seeing Yan Ruchun get worked up, Wei Borong and Xu Muqing awkwardly smiled.

Wei Boyu, however, suddenly sneered, "Hmph, just looking at you, I know what your dad must be like—definitely a simpleton without any cunning."

Yan Ruchun frowned, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that both my father and I are foolish simpletons? Don’t forget, I just saved your life!"

Wei Boyu pursed his lips and immediately changed the subject, "You might as well ask me for help instead of him. Alright, I’ll find out what’s going on. Consider it a repayment for saving my life. But let me make this clear, I’m helping because I owe you, not because I have any ulterior motives for you. So get that idea out of your head!"

These words made Yan Ruchun stop in shock. What ulterior motives? What getting that idea out of her head? What on earth was he talking about?

Looking aside, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong had already sneakily hidden under the table and were attempting to escape unnoticed. However, the foolish idea of trying to sneak away right under someone’s nose could only be concocted by such fools.

Yan Ruchun grabbed Xu Muqing from under the table, "Tell me, what have you done that I don’t know about?"

Xu Muqing looked at her with a wry smile, seeking help with her eyes from Wei Borong across the table, but when she saw that Wei Boyu had also caught Wei Borong, Xu Muqing finally gave up.

"Are you going to talk or not? Hmm?"

Seeing Yan Ruchun looking at her with those half-squinted eyes, Xu Muqing instantly turned honest and blurted out everything in one go, "I think you’re a really nice person and wanted to set you up with my brother as his wife, but he didn’t want to make you his wife and even scolded me, so I had no choice but to lie that it was you who fancied him and that’s why I was helping you matchmaking."

She was so nervous that she didn’t even pause while speaking, and by the end, because she was running out of breath, it was somewhat unclear.

Yan Ruchun stretched her neck, feeling tired for her, "Speak properly!"

Xu Muqing obediently nodded and repeated what she had just said, only because of her guilt, her voice was a little soft, and she didn’t dare to look up, "I think you’re a really good person, so I wanted to match you with my brother. But I don’t know what happened that day, he immediately disagreed when he heard it was you, even accusing me of messing around. If it weren’t for Brother Rong’s protection, I definitely would have, cough cough. So, having no other choice, I lied that you fancied him, and that you asked me to help with the matchmaking, and then, it ended up like today."

Yan Ruchun was already dumbfounded, and it seemed Wei Boyu across from her was equally stunned. It turned out, it wasn’t Yan Ruchun who had an eye on him to have her as the go-between!

Ah, just now while having tea next door, he was secretly smirking. Who would have thought, it was all these two little rascals’ messing around!

Wait, why did he feel a bit disappointed now? Wei Boyu swallowed dryly and harshly slapped Wei Borong on the back, completely infuriated.

Yan Ruchun finally caught up and laughed, pointing at Wei Boyu, "Me? Fancy him? Ha, Fatty Xu, you really know how to joke!"

Wei Boyu also shouted loudly, "Exactly, you two just know how to make trouble. How would I fancy this shrew? Even if I fancied someone, I’d fancy a street dog before I’d fancy this shrew!"

Yan Ruchun flew into a rage, "What did you say? Are you insulting me? Saying I’m worse than a dog?"

"Who’s insulting you? You picked up the words yourself; don’t blame me!"

As the two started arguing again, Wei Borong and Xu Muqing exchanged looks, relieved that neither of them fancied the other, or else they would definitely be fighting like cats and dogs in the future.

However, despite the arguments, Wei Boyu still diligently investigated what Yan Ruchun had asked him to, and indeed found some shady dealings. Those involved were all street thugs who had received a large sum of money before this incident.

As to who provided them with the money, further investigation was needed and it might take some time to find out.

Although Yan Ruchun still didn’t know who the person behind the scenes was, just knowing it wasn’t her father was relief enough.

July was a great time for grapes to come to market, and this year Liu Limin’s vineyard had another abundant harvest.
