Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Real or Fake?
I hadn’t expected there to be such a matter.
"Okay, I got it."
Since she already knew, it wouldn’t be possible to keep mingling among these waiters.
So, she quickly nodded and left the place.
After she returned to her office, she couldn’t help but continuously recall the scene she had just witnessed.
The waiters seemed to be telling the truth, and they appeared genuinely surprised at the time.
But why? Could Liu Zheng really be that incredible?
However, when I drank with him yesterday, I didn’t fully sense that.
At this very moment,
her heart felt extremely strange, and she had no idea what was going on.
For the time being, she didn’t know what to do.
Was he pretending to be drunk yesterday or what?
If he really could drink that much and still not fall over, then it was clear that he was pretending yesterday. But what could be his motive for deceiving me? Could it be to be able to...
Thinking this, anger appeared on her face.
To be honest, before this, I never thought in this direction. Even when I offered to pay his bill that day, I didn’t think much about it.
At that time, it just felt very coincidental. I hadn’t expected to see him in my own shop, so I was pleasantly surprised, and I immediately said the meal was on the house.
Back then, I didn’t pay attention to how much they had drunk.
Now that I think about it, there seemed to be quite a few empty bottles in the private room.
And it wasn’t just a little; there seemed to be several boxes.
If that’s the case, then it matches what the waiters said. In that case, he must have been deceiving me.
At this moment, she couldn’t help clenching her fists.
I initially thought this was fate granted by the heavens.
But if he was really pretending to be drunk last night, then it’s not so simple.
This man’s scheming seems a bit too deep.
After thinking this, a wave of nameless anger surged in her heart.
Yet she didn’t know how to confront Liu Zheng and clear things up.
Should she just confront him directly?
Wouldn’t that be too awkward?
But if I don’t ask, I won’t be able to get over this hurdle in my heart.
At this very moment, she was extremely conflicted, completely unsure what to do next.
How could this not be considered a troubling matter for her?
In the end, all she could do was raise her hand and gently tap her head, trying to stop herself from thinking too much about these issues.
It seems that no matter how much time I spend thinking about it now, I might not come to a good solution, so I might as well cool down first.
First, deal with your own work, and let’s talk about it later.
At this moment, Liu Zheng was still oblivious to what had actually happened here and began to study his pharmacy again.
He thought that today there would be no one to disturb him again.
However, he had not anticipated that just at this moment, there would be relentless shouting at the door.
"My heavens, someone come quick, look at this! It’s this physician, he’s seduced my daughter-in-law! Don’t even mention people, now neither my daughter-in-law nor my grandson listens to me. They’re truly rebelling now. What in the world is an old woman like me supposed to do?"
"Enough said, how can an old woman like me go on living? My son already died, and now I’ve encountered such a debacle. How can I show my face now? I might as well just find a rope here and hang myself."
"Ah, folks, I beg you to judge for me, tell me, at my old age, with my body not strong anymore, facing an incident like this, what should I do?"
...
Initially, Liu Zheng didn’t understand what was happening, but after hearing these obscene slurs, he finally grasped the situation.
It appeared that the old woman had come to confront him.
He had not expected her to use such a shameless method.
It truly made everyone present find the situation utterly absurd.
Previously, he had no intention of dealing strictly with her, but given that she had shown up at his door, he might as well meet her properly.
The villagers nearby, after hearing these words, also found it incredibly unbelievable. They crowded around, eager to fully understand what on earth was going on.
"My goodness, is it really so? That can’t be. How could such a thing happen?"
"Yeah, why have you suddenly come here? What exactly is the matter? Is it really as you say it is?"
"Goodness, that’s truly terrifying."
"No way, I often come here for medical treatment. But this physician is a decent man, it doesn’t seem like what you’re saying is true."
"Right, right, explain it to us in detail, let us listen carefully."
...
The onlookers were indeed very curious, having no idea what the actual situation was, but they certainly wanted to hear what the old woman had to say.
Just then, the old woman began to collapse onto the ground, weeping.
"Stop talking, it’s him, I remember him."
"When my son left us early and I lost my spouse, I was left totally alone. I thought that at least I had a daughter-in-law and a grandson, never imagining that since this man appeared, both my daughter-in-law and my grandson have stopped listening to me."
"Now it’s even worse, they want to drive me out of the house; what does this mean? I’m already so old; do they want me to sleep under a bridge?"
"I truly don’t know what to do. Everyone, please help me."
Watching her act out the scene,
Liu Zheng truly found it laughable in his heart.
Soon, Liu Zheng slowly emerged from inside.
And when the old woman saw Liu Zheng, she became even more outrageous.
She might have been afraid that Liu Zheng was trying to leave, so she immediately stepped forward and clung tightly to his legs, then began to plead.
"Are you trying to run away at this moment? Even though I’m just an old woman, I beg you, alright? Spare my daughter-in-law and my grandson. I only wish to have peace in my home. Doesn’t everyone want their family to live in harmony? If you act like this, what will become of me? Do you want this old woman to die?"
But Liu Zheng simply let her carry on acting, making no move to stop her.
Seeing this scene, the old woman too felt somewhat baffled.
