Wang Changge almost died of anger when he heard Mu Jinyu's words.
Damn it, was this guy planning to use their money to play the good guy?
The shop owner, cowering in the corner of the counter and shaking, heard Mu Jinyu's words. Seeing everyone looking at him, his face instantly turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly, stuttering:
"No… no need… it's just over half an hour, it won't… delay too much…"
How could he dare to take their money? If they kept him in mind, could he still do business? How could he stay in Capital City?
Mu Jinyu also saw his worry and said, "Don't worry about taking their money and them taking revenge. They won't care about such a small amount, and if you really get into trouble, I will make them pay a price."
Wang Changge and his people had already paid billions, so naturally, they would not care about the small amount that could affect the business of this little tea house.
No matter how good his small rundown tea house was, breaking ten thousand a day was considered good.
Billions versus ten or twenty thousand. How could these be compared?
After already compensating by so much, would they care about a mere ten or twenty thousand from the tea house owner?
Moreover, the way Mu Jinyu spoke was fierce, essentially cornering Wang Changge and his people.
Even if they originally intended to vent their anger on the tea house owner, they would now have to extinguish that thought. Not only extinguish it, but they would also have to go out of their way to protect the tea house owner from now on.
Otherwise, if something happened to the tea house owner, Mu Jinyu would not care who was responsible, and would directly hold them accountable.
Where could they justify themselves then?
"Give a specific price!"
Mu Jinyu saw the tea house owner looked hesitant and his tone sank.
Seeing this, the tea house owner finally gave a price, "A little over a thousand."
Mu Jinyu turned to Wang Changge and the others standing at the door, motioned with his mouth, and said, "Pay."
Wang Changge trembled and, despite his reluctance, had to go over with a livid face and pay the tea house owner.
After paying the bill.
He didn't dare to leave.
After all, it wasn't only Mu Jinyu who had asked them to stop.
There was also Su Zijin.
Who knew what the protective and crazy woman would do next!
Su Zhijin, standing to one side and seeing that Mu Jinyu seemed to be fine, turned her inquiring gaze towards herself. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Lady Zhou, who was pale-faced.
"I heard, Lady Zhou, when you just arrived, you were unreasonable and didn't care about right or wrong, just wanted my son to pay a price, and even talked about leaving his body intact. Can you say that again now?!"
Su Zijin's face was frosty, her beautiful eyes emitted a chilling light, and she stared intensely at Lady Zhou, pronouncing each word distinctly.
Hearing Su Zijin bring up the matter, which seemed to be a way to settle scores, Lady Zhou's face immediately turned as white as paper.
"I… I didn't… It's not like that…" Lady Zhou stammered.
"Smack!" Su Zijin suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Lady Zhou's face hard!
"With such an illogical mother, no wonder your son dared to be so presumptuous at his father's funeral!" Su Zijin said coldly, then slapped Lady Zhou several more times!
"Smack, smack, smack!!"
After the series of slaps.
Su Zijin drew back her hand, held it behind her back, and shook it a few times as her hand hurt.
Then, she turned around, looked at Hong Chen, gave her a meaningful look, and then said, "Beidou Yuheng, this person has thick skin; I can't handle her. Break a leg for me, as a warning to others!"
"Yes!"
Mu Hongchen saw Su Zijin's slight hand gesture and held back a laugh, responded seriously, and walked over.
"Don't come here! Don't come over!"
Lady Zhou saw Mu Hongchen walking towards her step by step, her face deathly pale, devoid of any color, and she kept shouting.
Her son, Young Master Zhou, was sprawled on the ground, motionless.
His consciousness was not blurred, and he was aware of the scene unfolding before him, but he dared not speak up to stop or beg Su Zijin to trade a leg for a leg, using his own leg in exchange for his mother's.
Upon seeing this, Su Zijin couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt for the cowardly and irresponsible Young Master Zhou.
She had thought before that if Young Master Zhou dared to come forward, like Mu Jinyu who protected his mother, she might spare Lady Zhou this time.
Unfortunately, like her, Lady Zhou was a mother protective of her children, but Young Master Zhou was not a particularly filial child.
Thus, Su Zijin did not speak to stop Mu Hongchen's actions, allowing the crisp sound of a snap to resonate.
Lady Zhou's leg was broken by Mu Hongchen!
"Ah!"
Lady Zhou let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.
"Withdraw!"
Su Zijin waved her hand, signaling that everyone could leave.
Wang Changge and the Li Family Members, with complex expressions, watched the scene and without saying anything else, bid farewell and led their unfilial son away from the small tea house.
The bodyguards brought by Lady Zhou also left the tea house, dragging the screaming Lady Zhou and the feigning-dead Young Master Zhou.
Seeing them all gone, Su Zijin turned back and looked at Mu Jinyu and Gu Xiyan, saying, "I performed quite well, right?"
Su Zijin eagerly looked at Mu Jinyu, hoping for his praise.
"Hmm, thank you," Mu Jinyu responded softly.
His expression remained unchanged, but deep inside he was touched by Su Zijin's protective actions.
If it were any other mother, seeing the compensation of billions from these major families might have chosen to keep the peace, no longer minding Lady Zhou's previous arrogance or her threats and intimidations.
But Su Zijin did not!
In her view, making these big families pay billions was a matter of reconciliation and a solution to the younger generation's disputes, involving Mu Jinyu and Young Master Wang.
Mu Jinyu had them pay this sum to avenge his mother, so she wouldn't stoop to bullying the younger ones by going after Young Master Wang and Young Master Zhou herself.
The matter with these big families owing money was temporarily settled with their written debts.
The disputes caused by their disrespectful words to her at the Old Dragon King's funeral were something she would let slide.
However, when Lady Zhou, as an adult, tried to suppress Mu Jinyu and threatened him variously, Su Zijin couldn't tolerate it.
When it came to protecting her child, could she be outdone?
Therefore, after Lady Zhou wrote down her debt, Su Zijin didn't pacify the situation and personally took care of Lady Zhou to vent anger for Mu Jinyu.
How could Mu Jinyu not be moved?
Xiang Mantang stood behind Mu Jinyu, watching the scene, feeling a touch of envy rising in his heart.
Shen Cangsheng's expression remained unchanged, feeling a sense of disgust inside.
He would make these two regret their actions one day!
Seeing that Mu Jinyu thanked her, Su Zijin's expression appeared somewhat unhappy.
As a mother taking revenge for her son, why should her son thank her?
What she wished more was for Mu Jinyu to call her "Mom"...
