Lin Zhan eventually gave the胖厨师 four crystal cores and ordered a sumptuous meal. Under the pleading eyes of the three little ones, he and the young Taoist Zhang Haoming finished it all.
Lin Zhan bid farewell to the胖厨师 and returned to the mountaintop villa with the dejected trio.
Xiao Jin fawned over Lin Zhan, "Boss, we brothers were just curious about what it felt like to eat for free. You can't blame us three babies for being mischievous, it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, boss."
Xiao Hei chimed in cooperatively, "That's right, boss. Play is play, fun is fun, but don't joke about our kindness."
Xiao Jin added, "All mountains and rivers are filled with emotion, just don't tell Big Sister, okay?"
Lin Zhan turned to Xiao Ji and asked, "Xiao Ji, they're both so eloquent, why aren't you saying anything?"
Xiao Ji raised his big head and looked at Lin Zhan with innocent eyes, saying, "Boss, I'm still just a baby."
Lin Zhan looked at these three scoundrels with helplessness, "It's not easy for people to run a hotel. Besides, with our family's conditions, we're not short of these crystal cores. Is it worth it for people to talk behind our backs for such a small matter? If we want to eat out again, we'll pay. If we don't have money, go ask your Big Sister. Go, go find your own place to rest."
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, the three little ones scattered and ran off.
Xiao Ji said to Xiao Jin, "Brother Snake, why are we so unlucky this time? We were even encountered by the boss. We need to behave ourselves now."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Let's be good for a few days. When Little Bao comes back, we'll find an opportunity to eat that胖子 again, otherwise, it'll be too embarrassing."
Xiao Hei also nodded, "That's right. Let's listen to Brother Snake. When Little Bao returns, we'll let him think of a plan. That panda head is clever and full of schemes, he'll surely have a way."
On the other side, an elder, who was eight parts similar to the胖厨师, returned to the Gao Wu Hotel.
The胖厨师 respectfully said to the elder, "Father, you're back. Did you have any gains this time?"
The elder waved his hand, "This time it was decent. I hunted a lord-level giant bull and a lord-level black tiger. I'll call your Uncle Hao later, and I'll have a drink with him. Did something happen in the shop today? I heard the employees murmuring about someone eating for free. What kind of time is it that there are still people eating without paying?"
The胖厨师 wore a bitter smile and recounted the matter of Xiao Jin and the other two to his father in detail.
The elder nodded and smiled, "You handled it well. That young man's family has good conditions and isn't lacking these things. When your Uncle Hao arrives, I'll ask him about it in detail. You go find your Uncle Hao first. When he arrives, I'll help you break down this giant bull and black tiger."
Watching the胖厨师 leave, the elder chuckled, "This young man from Brother Tian's family is quite interesting."
In the evening, after Lin Zhan and Zhang Lingxiu had dinner, they sat together chatting. "Wife, starting tomorrow, arrange for more chefs to be specifically responsible for cooking for Xiao Jin and the others. Make as much good food as possible. I've already asked Lin Yi to gather a batch of high-level ingredients."
Zhang Lingxiu nodded, "I understand, husband. It's only right. Don't worry."
Lin Zhan chuckled, "Wife, it's late, let your husband serve you to rest."
With that, the great young master Lin, with a lewd expression, supported his wife and walked into the bedroom. (The rest is the content that old iron friends don't like to watch.)
The next morning, before Zhang Lingxiu could wake Lin Zhan, the young Taoist Zhang Haoming ran over, "Big Brother, Big Brother, hurry up and don't sleep, the human ATM is here."
Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist in confusion, "What ATM? Breakfast isn't ready yet. Your sister-in-law will call you when it's done."
Zhang Haoming grabbed Lin Zhan by the collar with frustration and shook him, "Big Brother, are you still groggy from sleep? William is here, our biggest sugar daddy is here, and he even brought that human ATM, the Dragon Knight."
Lin Zhan came to his senses after being shaken and exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap, we're going to be rich! Hurry up and take me to meet him."
Lin Zhan then tidied himself up as quickly as possible and rushed out. He saw William, the Dragon Knight, and Lancelot three, having morning tea with Zhang Lingxiu in the garden.
Lin Zhan shouted loudly at William, "Brother, brother, you're finally here, I've missed you like crazy."
William was also happy to see Lin Zhan and gave him a big hug, saying, "Oh my god, Big Brother, I've missed you so much. You, we brothers haven't seen each other in a while, you're doing well, huh."
Lin Zhan looked at this handsome British man with golden hair, who spoke with a pure northeastern Chinese accent, in confusion and said, "Oh my god, brother, who did you learn your Chinese from? It's so authentic, top-notch."
William was overjoyed at Lin Zhan's praise and said, "Of course, I put in a lot of effort to find someone to teach me. He spoke so standardly. Big Brother, I'm a bit hungry after flying all night, can you arrange a meal for me?"
"Of course, brother, what do you want to eat?" Lin Zhan asked happily.
William thought for a moment and said, "We have to have some authentic Chinese delicacies. Let's have a pot-stewed goose, chicken stew with mushrooms, and some grilled lamb. We must have some grilled kidneys, with a bloody center."
After William finished speaking, Zhang Lingxiu smiled and asked Lancelot, "Mr. Lancelot, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Lancelot shook his head and smiled, "I have no dietary restrictions, Miss Zhang. Thank you for your trouble."
Zhang Lingxiu called the butler standing nearby and said, "Prepare the delicacies according to young master William's request. Also, prepare four cold and four hot dishes from the Sichuan, Lu, Cantonese, and Huaiyang cuisines, and prepare tea snacks and fruits to the highest standard."
The Dragon Knight looked at Zhang Lingxiu's arrangement and said, "Miss Zhang, you are not only beautiful but also a very virtuous woman. Whoever can marry you as a wife is truly lucky." Sudan Novel Network
As soon as he spoke, the entire room fell silent. Zhang Lingxiu's face turned cold and she said, "Sir, please address me as Mrs. Lin. Although I haven't had a wedding ceremony with Lin Zhan, it has always been the case since ancient times that marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. I am the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Lin family, for whom the Lin family has given a betrothal gift and a marriage contract, witnessed by the old ancestors. Are your frivolous words now a declaration of war against the Lin family?"
Lin Zhan sneered and came to Zhang Lingxiu's side, saying to the Dragon Knight, "Have you not learned your lesson? Do you not remember the lesson I taught you last time?"
Before anyone could react, the Dragon-Binding Rope directly tore through space and shot towards the Dragon Knight, binding him tightly.
