Chapter 7 Looking for Trouble

Tang Yin put down the cloth in his hands and turned to enter the kitchen. At that moment, there was a loud bang from outside. He quickly turned around and saw the three students standing up and pointing at Lin Chuchu while questioning aggressively, "What is this? You can surely tell, can't you?" Lin Chuchu was completely shocked as she stood still in place, her eyes welling up with tears. Tang Yin hurried over and saw one student holding a dead fly in his hand. "What kind of restaurant is this?" "Why are there flies here?" "The cleanliness here sucks! How dare you still run a business here?!" Chu Hao exclaimed angrily. Lin Chuchu was stunned as she stood in place and stuttered, "W-We... T-This is impossible..." "Impossible? What is this, then?" Chu Hao grabbed Lin Chuchu's wrist. "Explain it to me. If you don't explain it clearly, you can forget about doing business anymore!" "My apologies. Our hygiene has always been great, and such things don't happen. Please have a seat. I'll investigate the matter right away..." Lin Cheng hurriedly walked out in a flustered manner. "Investigate? We have witnesses and evidence. What else do you need to investigate? I think you just want to shift the blame..." Lin Cheng didn't know what to do. "Chu Hao, my stomach hurts..." One of the students grabbed Chu Hao and immediately covered his stomach. "Look, he has an upset stomach. What are we going to do about this?" Chu Hao was furious. Lin Chuchu retreated in fear as she looked at Chu Hao's menacing appearance. However, as she stepped back, she accidentally stepped on something and staggered backward. Lin Chuchu was terrified as she closed her eyes and let out a shrill scream. Tang Yin quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms. Her body was very soft, and he felt like he was holding a fluffy marshmallow. Tang Yin felt a bit restless when he smelled the fresh fragrance emanating from Lin Chuchu. This was the first time he had such intimate contact with a girl of his age. In the past, Ruan Qin refused to let him touch her. When Lin Chuchu came to her senses and realized that she hadn't fallen, she breathed a sigh of relief. Upon seeing that she was being held by Tang Yin, she quickly pushed him away and yelled at him, "What are you doing? Can't you see that something's wrong? Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and leave—" “Don’t try to divert the attention. My buddy is having a stomachache after eating your food. You should compensate us for that! Pay us at least 50,000 for this matter! It’s fine if you don’t want to pay for the compensation, because we can always give a call to the Department of Health now. In that case, your eatery might have to close down then!” Chu Hao glanced at Lin Chuchu with disdain. “What? 50,000?” Shocked, Lin Chuchu froze on the spot. The blood drained from Lin Cheng’s face. He didn’t think a hassle like this would happen in his eatery. If the Department of Health interfered in this matter, he’d have no choice but to end his business. Wu Min was scared out of her wits and her face turned pale. “50,000, not a penny less…” “Give us some time to think about it. We would definitely make up for this matter!” Lin Cheng quickly said. “Fine. I’ll give you some time to think about it in the afternoon, and we’ll come and get the money in the evening. If you’re not gonna pay up, we’ll just report to the Department of Health then!” As soon as Chu Hao said that, he turned away and left. Lin Cheng slumped back on the chair hard, his face incredibly pale. 50,000! In the past half a year, they could barely earn and save up to 50,000, and that was after being thrifty and frugal with their spending. How could they continue their living if this 50,000 was taken away by someone else just like that? “Dad, what should we do?” Lin Chuchu shed her tears at once. Wu Min cast away the table cloth in her hand and said, “I can’t stand this anymore! How could you let a fly get into the dish? Are you blind? I demand a divorce! It’s up to you whether or not you want to pay the 50,000. I have had enough living such a difficult life with you…” Lin Cheng quickly raised his head up with a beseeching look in his eyes. Tang Yin watched the scene from the side with a trace of pity in his eyes. Wu Min was indeed the typical woman who would walk out on her husband should he get into trouble. It was just a matter of 50,000, and she was already making a fuss to divorce her husband. “Uncle Lin, it’s not our fault. I actually saw that the fly was brought by them and they purposely threw it into the dish! This matter has nothing to do with us. Even if they report to the Department of Health, they can’t do anything to us!” Tang Yin sighed and mediated. “What did you say?” Lin Chuchu widened her eyes and stared at Tang Yin unbelievably. “Then why didn’t you keep an eye on them? If you did, things wouldn’t have turned out like that!” A trace of disgust flashed across Tang Yin’s eyes. Initially, he had wanted to keep his eyes on them. Such a thing wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t ordered him to work in the kitchen earlier. “It’s better for us to hurry up and find a solution now. Perhaps we can see if we have any connections that can help solve this matter!” Tang Yin said. “Yes! Seek for connections!” Lin Chuchu responded too. “I have a classmate whose father is a rich man and he runs a big hotel business. I’ve heard that he is close with the people in the Department of Health. I’ll ask for his help…” “That’s right! Quickly make the call…” Wu Min immediately pushed Lin Chuchu to give a call once she heard that the person was rich. Lin Chuchu picked up her phone and ran outside to make the phone call. Lin Cheng raised up his head and his expression eased for a little. “Tang Yin, do you think finding connections would work?” “I think it’ll work! Uncle Lin, wait for me here for a while. I’ll call to see if I can get any help to solve this matter!” Having a good impression of Lin Cheng, Tang Yin didn’t want him to sink or swim on his own at this time. “Okay, thank you so much!” Lin Cheng quickly said. Tang Yin nodded his head and turned around to leave. Wu Min rolled her eyes at the side and sneered, “He’s obviously overestimating himself. He’s just a poor loser, and he’s thinking of seeking connections to get help?” “Stop babbling. Tang Yin is just being kind to help us…” Lin Cheng persuaded. “What’s the use of him being kind? Put aside the fact that he doesn’t even have a friend in Wuhan, he can’t even afford to eat. Do you think a person like him can help us?” Wu Min glared at Lin Cheng fiercely before walking out. “He’s obviously trying to go after our daughter! And you! Have you been daydreaming every day? What else can you do if you can’t even cook properly?” Lin Cheng was startled by Wu Min’s perturbation and he kept silent. Tang Yin left the eatery and went to the corner of the street. He then took out his mobile phone and gave Miao Bai a call. “Young Master, it’s not a big deal. I’ll ask my secretary to find you later. Don’t worry about it!” Miao Bai said on the phone. “Alright!” Tang Yin nodded his head and felt relieved. As soon as he went back to the eatery, he saw Lin Chuchu coming back in tears. “Dad, my classmate said that this matter is quite complicated but he will help us to think of a way out. However, he has a s-s-small request!” “What request?” Lin Cheng stood up at once.
