Chapter 662: Quickly Apologize
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Aunt Zhou’s eyes drooped, shimmering with unshed tears, as if she had been wronged to the core. She moved towards her cousin’s husband, the town mayor, her chin defiantly raised, accentuating her obstinate and unreasonable demeanor.
However, just as she was about to reach the mayor, he coldly sidestepped her, avoiding her approach. He continued towards the interior of the room, heading towards the spot where Li Hua and her companions were seated.
Aunt Zhou was taken aback, her eyes narrowing in anger as she turned to her two lackeys. She pulled one aside and whispered, “What happened? Didn’t you do as I instructed and complain to him?”
The lackey, a woman, was equally bewildered. She replied helplessly, “Aunt Zhou, it’s not our fault. We had barely reached his office when we ran into the mayor. We didn’t even get a chance to speak before we saw him hurrying ahead. We followed him here and realized he was also coming to this shop. I thought, since we’re all here, it would be convenient…”
Aunt Zhou shot the woman a disdainful glance, pushing her aside and striding forward. “You’re useless,” she declared haughtily. “I’ll handle this myself.”
What she didn’t know was that the first thing the mayor had done upon seeing Li Hua was to apologize. His tone was serious as he said, “Miss Li, I heard that some ruffians in town have been causing trouble for your family. I rushed over as soon as I could. Just tell me who’s responsible, and I’ll handle it. I won’t tolerate such behavior!”
Li Hua was somewhat taken aback by the mayor’s courtesy, but she maintained her composure. After all, she was a business owner and needed to maintain a professional demeanor.
She responded evenly, “Mayor, your visit alone shows your sincerity. As long as you don’t drive us away or force us to close our shop, that would be a great help.”
Upon hearing this, the mayor’s eyebrows shot up. He scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on Aunt Zhou, who was approaching him, seemingly with something to say.
However, the mayor beat her to it, his voice stern, “Who dares to force our town’s beloved Li Hua Gourmet Shop to close? Aunt Zhou, it must be you again!”
