Chapter 518: An Acquaintance
Mrs. Chen looked at Lu Jianchuan and his wife quietly, suppressing her anger.
Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi were not willing to be outdone. They met Mrs. Chen's gaze and looked at her.
Wei Xing, who was sitting in the private room, waited for a long time, but did not see Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi come in, so he simply left the private room.
It would have been better if he didn't come out, but when he came out, he was stunned on the spot.
Not only him, Mrs. Chen was also stunned.
"you......"
"you......"
Mrs. Chen and Wei Xing spoke at the same time, and then they both shut up at the same time. The scene was very strange.
Mrs. Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Zhuangyuan Wei, why are you here?"
Number one scholar? ? ? After Lu Jianchuan went to the capital, he learned from his mentor that the dean was the number one scholar!
However, apart from hearing his mentor mention it, he had never seen anyone call him "Master" in person. Now was the first time he heard it.
And this woman in front of him...it seems that she has known the dean for many years? Lu Jianchuan was full of doubts, and so was Gu Yunxi, who blinked and stared at the woman and the dean.
Wei Xing coughed lightly and asked, "Why is Madam Chen here?"
This is Jihu Town. Madam Chen has been married to the Prime Minister for many years, but she has only been to Jihu Town once. This is her second time.
Mrs. Chen was very surprised, but still said, "I have something to do, so I brought the child back to let my daughter get to know her hometown."
"Baozhu, come and meet Wei Zhuangyuan. If we follow the previous relationship between our two families, you should still call me uncle."
Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi were even more shocked when they heard this. How could the dean be so familiar with this woman? And he even wanted his daughter to call the dean uncle?
Chen Baozhu was also very surprised. She didn't expect that the person coming out of the private room was someone her mother knew, and it sounded like he was the top scholar in the imperial examination.
But this man is far inferior to her father. At least she has never seen this man in the capital.
She grumbled reluctantly and said coquettishly, "Mom, I have an uncle."
In Mrs. Chen's family, there are several biological brothers, not to mention a large number of illegitimate brothers. Chen Baozhu has really many uncles.
Forget it, if she doesn’t want to call me that, then forget it. Now the relationship between her family and the Wei family is not as good as before.
Even a smart man like Wei Xing felt his heart turn cold when he saw Chen Baozhu's reaction.
He spoke directly, "Just now it was your daughter who asked us to move to the elegant room?"
Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan hurriedly said, "Yes, Dean, Yun Xi just refuted a few words, and this girl wanted the servant to beat Yun Xi!"
The crying child gets the milk, and only those who know how to complain can make their lives happier!
Mrs. Chen's eyes flickered, and she was a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and explained, "Wei Zhuangyuan, my Baozhu is just talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
"Baozhu is a child that I have spoiled. She speaks directly, but she actually doesn't have any bad intentions."
When Chen Baozhu heard her mother's evaluation of her, she knew that her mother was trying to help her out, but she still felt uncomfortable and muttered a few words.
"If this shabby place were in the capital, I wouldn't go there even if you invited me..."
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for people nearby to hear. When Manager Wu heard Chen Baozhu describe his restaurant like this, he couldn't help but get angry.
A shabby place? His restaurant is the most luxurious in the whole Jihu Town, and the decoration was renovated last year. How can it be shabby?
Although the girl in front of me seems to be from a wealthy family, she does not have the rules and upbringing of a wealthy family at all, and looks worse than ordinary people.
"If you think this place is shabby, why did you come here? If I were you, I would just turn around and leave." Gu Yunxi suddenly said.
Chen Baozhu was furious. She ignored Mrs. Chen's attempts to stop her and pointed at Gu Yunxi and yelled, "Why do you care about me? You own this restaurant?"
"If you knew who my father is, I'd like to see if you dare to talk to me like that! Humph!"
Chen Baozhu glared at Gu Yunxi angrily, but out of consideration for Mrs. Chen, she did not dare to tell her directly who her father was.
Wei Xing frowned and said, "Madam Chen, your daughter really hasn't learned this rule very well."
Mrs. Chen's face felt like it had been slapped hard in the face and was burning with pain.
She hardened her heart, pulled Chen Baozhu, and scolded: "Baozhu, what nonsense are you talking about? We are here to have lunch, you should be sensible."
This was the first time in Chen Baozhu’s life that she was scolded by her mother. She was completely stunned and stared at her mother blankly.
"Mom, you're willing to scold me for them?"
Chen Baozhu had tears in her eyes and felt extremely aggrieved. She rushed down without looking back.
Mrs. Chen felt a little regretful for what she had just said, but she couldn't lose face in front of Wei Xing, so she forced a smile and said, "Baozhu is a child who has been spoiled by me, please don't mind it."
"I'll go check it out first. You guys continue to eat. Wei Zhuangyuan, come to my house again when you have time."
Wei Xing nodded without saying anything, and just watched Mrs. Chen chase down the stairs.
Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi were stunned. They didn't expect that Mrs. Chen's attitude towards the dean was completely different from that towards them.
Gu Yunxi boldly asked, "Dean, what is the origin of this Madam Chen?"
There are many families with the surname Chen in Beijing, so when Gu Yunxi heard the dean call her Madam Chen, she did not think of Prime Minister Chen.
Wei Xing replied, "The two women just now were the wives of the prime ministers of the current dynasty, Madam Chen, and that girl was their daughter."
"Chen, Prime Minister Chen?" Gu Yunxi's jaw dropped. How could it be such a coincidence? They also came to Jihu Town?
Wei Xing saw that she and Lu Jianchuan both had complicated expressions, so he asked, "Why, do you know Prime Minister Chen?"
"Speaking of which, there was a student named Chen Ziming before, who was Prime Minister Chen's nephew. Jianchuan knew him. You were in the same class before."
Lu Jianchuan clenched his fists tightly. When he mentioned Chen Ziming, he wished he could cut him into pieces.
Before, Chen Ziming bullied him, bullied his wife Yun Xi, framed him, and caused Old Man Lu to be sent to jail. He did not tell the dean about these things, so the dean knew nothing.
Now, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he went back to the private room and told the dean everything Chen Ziming had done to him.
The more Wei Xing listened, the angrier he became. He slammed the table and yelled, "How can this be? You are just a bully who takes advantage of others!"
"Achuan, why didn't you tell me earlier? You are my favorite student, can I just watch you being bullied by him?"
Lu Jianchuan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, but also very touched.
He didn't want to say it before because he knew the dean's personality. He didn't like to cause trouble or socialize. He didn't want to make the dean worry about his trivial matters.
Now, Chen Ziming's fate...is probably not very good, so he dared to say it out loud, and couldn't help but say it out loud.
"Dean, don't worry. We don't need to do anything to Chen Ziming now. His retribution has come!"
Lu Jianchuan smiled, leaned over to Wei Xing, and whispered, "Chen Ziming, he is not the son of Master Chen Er. Now everyone in the Chen family knows it."
"I guess Madam Chen came to Jihu Town this time to deal with this matter."
