As soon as she said this, the surrounding people revealed looks of disbelief.
Even Zhou Peng could not believe what he was hearing.
Zhou Peng muttered, “Don’t you feel resentment?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Zhou Peng and said, “How can I not feel resentment? But compared to hate, I’m more willing to love people! Because if I’m getting better and better, to the people who bullied me back then, that’ll be the best punishment! Therefore, why punish myself with other people’s mistakes? If you still have the chance to turn over a new leaf, work hard to make up for your sufferings so that you won’t let yourself down!”
Zhou Peng didn’t say anything else and was taken away by Constable Wang.
Seeing that the danger had been resolved, Shu Ruyue came to Li Xiaoran’s side.
“Why do I feel that you already knew that person was not a good person?”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she smiled.
“Maybe it’s a woman’s sixth sense!”
Shu Ruyue asked, “Xiaoran, why did you say so much to a murderer?” When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she pondered over it.
“If I say more, I can make him repent and let go of the darkness in his heart. From now on, he can work hard to make up for the harm he has caused others, so why not?”
“Thank you for your help today! It’s Little Peng’s blessing to have met you!” At this moment, Mr. Fu walked forward and thanked her sincerely.
Li Xiaoran waved her hand dismissively and said, “Old man, you don’t have to thank me. It’s fate that we met! Since we met, I might as well help him! If he doesn’t have any good intentions, it’s useless for me to say anything. Goodness and evil are often determined by a single thought!”
Mr. Fu asked directly, “Pardon me for asking, but why do you want hire someone who’s good at roasting meat or grilling fish?”
Li Xiaoran stared at Mr. Fu as she guessed his intentions.
Because the other party was very calm, Li Xiaoran could not hear his thoughts, but Li Xiaoran could sense that the other party did not have any ill intentions towards her.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran immediately realized something.
Mr. Fu had been addressing her very respectfully since the beginning. Could it be that he knew her identity?
Li Xiaoran said, “Actually, it’s nothing important. It’s just that my restaurant needs such talents!”
When Mr. Fu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he nodded.
“I see. I wonder where you’re going to open your shop? When will it open? To be honest, I’m already so old, but I only care about eating delicious food! If I don’t enjoy delicious food properly while I’m still alive, it’ll be a pity when I can’t enjoy it anymore!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Mr. Fuls words, she could sense his regret and immediately smiled.
Li Xiaoran invited, “If you really want to eat delicacies, why don’t you go to Golden Sun Town under Anhua County in White Foothill City?! The opening day is in a month. If you’re free, why don’t you come and try it? It’ll definitely be worth the trip!”
When Mr. Fu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled.
“Alright! Thank you for your invitation. I’ll definitely go try it! I won’t disturb you anymore today. Goodbye!”
After Li Xiaoran bowed to the old man, she watched Mr. Fu and the other five men leave.
After they left, Li Xiaoran’s screening still had to continue.
Other than the thin young man Li Xiaoran had called on previously, a total of four people stayed.
It had to be said that their gains were quite good this time.
Although these four people’s fish grilling skills could not compare to that of the skinny youth’s, they weren’t that bad.
If they focused on training in the future, it would definitely be enough!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran smiled happily.
With these five people, at least the shops in Golden Sun Town could open first.
If she met a suitable chef in the future, she could also prepare branches in other places.
Mr. Fu did not go far after leaving with his men. Instead, he stayed in an inn in Nanping Town.
At this moment, the man who had been pushing Mr. Fu’s wheelchair couldn’t help but ask, “Mentor, why do you keep addressing that Madam so respectfully?”
Mr. Fu replied with a smile, “She looked very noble and appeared in Nanping Town. Who else could she be but the consort? Didn’t the address of the shop that the consort gave prove this? You have to know that Mr. Luo and the consort lives in Hele Village in White Foothill City! ”
A man in black asked in confusion, “Mentor, don’t you hate interacting with the royal family the most? Why did you make an exception for the consort?”
Mr. Fu glanced at him, then at his five disciples and said, “But Mr. Luo is different from the consort! Firstly, the consort is from a farming family. You’ve met her today. What kind of person do you think the consort is?”
The person pushing Mr. Fu forward was called Ge Kai and was Mr. Fu’s second disciple.
Upon hearing Mr. Fu’s words, Ge Kai recalled carefully.
“The consort gave me the feeling that she was very confident. It seemed that she had already noticed that something was wrong with Little Junior Brother from the beginning. However, she didn’t say anything or make any arrangements. She just waited. When Little Junior Brother made things difficult for her, she didn’t panic. She first gave him a warning and then counterattacked calmly when she saw him cause trouble. Such a person doesn’t seem like a woman from a farmer’s family!”
Mr. Fu smiled when he heard this.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover! Just because she’s a woman, you already look down on her! Why don’t you think about it? Since ancient times, how many of those heroes have come from noble backgrounds?”
When Ge Kai heard his mentor’s words, he was instantly speechless.
After all, many of the heroes from the past and present were from ordinary backgrounds.
At this moment, Zhang Luo, the third disciple, asked, “Mentor, are you trying to find a way out for us by interacting with the consort?” Mr. Fu glanced at his third disciple and sighed.
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you!”
After saying this, Mr. Fu picked up his teacup and took a sip of water. Then, he said, “Among the seven of you, the eldest son was killed by the youngest, Little Peng. Little Peng was also personally sent to prison by me.. Now, there are only the five of you left! I know very well that I won’t be able to much longer, so I want to help you guys find a backer so that you won’t be persecuted after I’m gone!”
