Chapter 54: Unwelcome Visitor

Manager Liang quickly recognized the young servant at the door, his expression shifting slightly. He immediately bowed his head and said to Liang Tian’er, “Miss, it’s Kang An.”

Liang Tian’er instantly perked up.

Reacting swiftly, she turned to Jiang Dai, whose anger was about to boil over, and said, “Madam, that person is a servant from the Zhenxiu Restaurant. Our two establishments have always been at odds.”

“It was our oversight, coming in such a hurry. They must have been watching and followed us here.”

In just a few words, she explained the visitor’s identity, the feud between the Kang and Liang families, the purpose of the Kang Family’s visit, and offered an apology to the Bai Family.

“Alright, we understand.”

Jiang Dai was no fool; she knew whom she could work with.

Normally, with competition arriving, she should play hard to get, making both sides raise their offers before choosing.

But Jiang Dai preferred the polite Liang Miss, who came bearing gifts, over the Kang Family, who had angered her three sons to the point of turning red and had broken their door!

“First, compensate for the door!”

Jiang Dai strode forward, shielding her three sons behind her, her pretty face clearly showing her anger.

The servant: …

It’s over, they’ve messed up.

“Madam, it was the servant’s negligence. Here is compensation for the door.”

Kang An, seeing an adult emerge, finally stepped leisurely off the carriage, his luxurious attire flaunting his immense wealth.

As he spoke, he handed two taels of broken silver to Jiang Dai.

Jiang Dai looked at the flamboyantly dressed man before her, and boldly took one tael of silver, then called to Bai Tian behind her, “Husband! Give him three hundred wen in change!”

This was both a show of strength and a way to avoid unnecessary entanglements with the other party.

Kang An narrowed his eyes, observing the beautiful, confident, and straightforward young rural woman before him.

Tsk…

She wasn’t quite what he had imagined.

“What are you looking at! How rude!”

Bai Tian tossed the copper coins to the man, blocking his view of his wife in the process.

Kang An looked at the family that clearly wasn’t welcoming him.

He felt displeased, having grown accustomed to the admiration and envy of commoners.

Now, he really didn’t like it.

Looking at the copper coins handed to him, Kang An seemed amused, chuckled, and casually tossed the coins to the servant beside him.

“A reward for you.”

Jiang Dai narrowed her eyes: 【As expected, I wasn’t wrong. This kind of person really makes me want to punch him.】

“There are so many people outside, why don’t we go inside to talk?” Kang An, unafraid of angering Jiang Dai, said with a smile, “Regarding the spices, I’m sure I can offer a better price.”

In that moment.

Jiang Dai clearly heard the neighbors’ chatter around her.

“What spices?”

“They’re not here to collect debts. The Bai Family is about to strike it rich!”

“Incredible, truly incredible!”

Jiang Dai: 【As expected, it’s happening. Once these nosy neighbors know we’re about to make money, Bai Tian’s parents will soon find out too. I need to prepare to deal with those troublesome relatives!】

Juanjuan: Trying to decipher the unfamiliar words in her mother’s whispers.

Are the nosy neighbors referring to these chatting uncles and aunts?

And what does troublesome mean?

“Madam, why not let him in and discuss together.”

Liang Tian’er, standing behind, stepped forward to stand beside Jiang Dai, speaking softly.

Though she suggested letting Kang An in, she didn’t spare him a glance.

Jiang Dai looked at Liang Tian’er, and seeing the determination in the young girl’s eyes, made a decision.

“Come in.”

She invited the uninvited guest, while instructing her children:

“Gou… Yunqi! Take your younger siblings to Dachui’s Home for a rest.”

Bai Yunqi: …
