Jiang Shaoqing also took a seat, wiped the bloodstains on his hands, and apologized to Bai Xiao, “Doctor Bai, I’m sorry for the spectacle you had to witness. I didn’t expect someone to have an episode and startle you!”

“President Jiang, it’s me who’s out of touch, bringing trouble upon you. If Shang Kaijie wants revenge, have him come directly to me!” Bai Xiao wasn’t just talking big. It was Shang Kaijie who wanted to retaliate against her, but unfortunately, she truly wasn’t afraid.

Now, there were many people around her who could be of use, and she was no longer her former self! Now she dared to be confident; if Shang Kaijie wanted to deal with her, he had to see if she was willing.

Besides, Shang Kaijie’s only tricks were currently not enough to worry about. Let him come to plunder and rob; this privileged young master didn’t have the ability yet. It was the year 1986; making someone disappear without a trace wasn’t so easy. The worst this bastard could do was to use his father’s power to cause trouble at her workplace, create problems, make life difficult. But she still chose to trust Dean Zhang.

The Dean wasn’t someone who simply flattered those with power, and of course, it didn’t hurt that she had a high-ranking fiancé, did it?

It seemed as if the shiniest points on An Zhiyuan’s personality suddenly became even more dazzling.

Bai Xiao scoffed at herself for being so pragmatically minded!

“A joke? Doctor Bai, you really do have a sense of humor. Our Jiang Family always keeps its word. My grandfather said you are a benefactor of our family, and as long as you don’t do anything outrageous and cruel, we will protect you, no second thoughts,” Jiang Shaoqing said, regardless of what Bai Xiao might think. She was a friend of the highest importance, someone their family had decided was worth engaging with.

They would support and protect her fully to obtain the best return on investment, and right now, Bai Xiao was the best object for investment.

Their family certainly had their own way of showing support to such people.

“Jiang Shaoqing, I will protect my own woman myself. If that bastard dares to show up again, don’t blame me for not being polite!” An Zhiyuan’s arm rested on the back of the chair behind Bai Xiao, a gesture demonstrating his strong sense of territory and possessiveness.

Jiang Shaoqing gave a wry smile and poured a glass of wine, “Ayuan, that Shang Kaijie is not worth your effort. How long have we known each other? Do you not trust me? Leave this matter to me. I’ll talk to Old Man Shang, and I’ll make sure Shang Kaijie doesn’t bother Bai Xiao anymore. Don’t be so fierce. I’m not going to steal your woman. Look at you; you’re just like a henpecked husband. Once Doctor Bai marries you, your good days are probably over,” he joked, finding the mood to make light of the situation.

It was then that Bai Xiao realized there must be a profound connection between An Zhiyuan and Jiang Shaoqing.

Bai Yue and Wang Yan were startled to see someone being helped away, especially with a face swollen to the point of being unrecognizable. They hoped there wasn’t a fight on the first day!

They quietly went upstairs, mainly worried about Bai Xiao. Whatever happened to those people didn’t concern them, but Bai Xiao was closely related to them.

As soon as Bai Yue reached the top of the stairs, she saw Bai Xiao sitting in view of the staircase, with An Zhiyuan right beside her. She felt relieved—Captain An was reliable. With An Zhiyuan around, Bai Xiao wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

She gestured to Wang Yan, who was following her, and they both turned to go back downstairs.

Wang Yan didn’t know what his wife had seen, but from her expression, it seemed there was nothing to worry about, so it should be fine.

To his wife and in-laws, the little sister-in-law held a much higher status than him.

“Yue’er, how is it?”

“It seems to be fine; An Zhiyuan is there! They seem to be talking, and the injured person might have just been drunk and fell. As long as Xiao is okay, it probably doesn’t concern us! I’m just not sure about President Jiang’s background and am a little worried,” Bai Yue said, no longer anxious since her sister was safe.

“Good. It’s the first day of business, and I don’t want any trouble,” Wang Yan said to Bai Yue as they descended the stairs, both speaking softly.

At this time, more customers arrived.

The couple hurried out to attend to them.

In the kitchen, Li Haiping had taken over the responsibilities of the stove, because when it came to greeting customers, Wang Yan as an adult was certainly more composed than Li Haiping. Moreover, donning the title of the boss made the customers feel especially valued.

During this conversation, they saw a large group of people walking in, this time dressed in formal attire. Bai Yue and Wang Yan had already shifted from the nervousness they had felt while facing customers at noon to greeting everyone with smiles, speaking kindly, and obviously delighted to see the patrons. Tonight, they had at least four more tables, and these weren’t the sort of complimentary guests like Boss Jiang.

These four tables represented real, solid business they had gained. Bai Yue had calculated that these four tables had spent even more than the lunchtime crowd, amounting to over three hundred dollars.

If more customers were to come… hehe… the couple would surely be grinning from ear to ear.

“Welcome, welcome! It’s our grand opening today, and all dishes are 10% off,” Wang Yan said with a smile as he ushered the guests inside.

A man who looked like a high-ranking official smiled and asked, “And you are?”

“I am the owner of this establishment; please, take a seat!”

Bai Yue had already presented the menus.

Li Dongliang, with a smile, suggested, “Then, just bring us whatever you recommend. There are eight of us, and we don’t really know what your specialities are. But as we came in, we saw those steaming pots and smelled something delicious—serve us that. In this chilly weather, it must be perfect.” Being the highest in rank, it was natural for him to take the lead.

Bai Yue nodded in agreement, while Wang Yan had already started pouring tea for the guests.

“You’re Bai Xiaoboctor Bai’s brother-in-law?”

The question came like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Wang Yan understood that this was yet another visit based on affinity with his sister-in-law.

“Yes, I am Bai Xiao’s brother-in-law. And who might you be?”

He had grown accustomed to his sister-in-law’s reputation. It seemed that she knew a lot of people and was quite impressive; wave after wave of customers came in support of Doctor Bai.

“Bai Xiao is my life-saver! We came specifically to see what sort of restaurant Doctor Bai’s sister and brother-in-law have opened! It doesn’t matter where we dine, but as a family, we should support each other, right?” Li Dongliang said to the people beside him.

Han Weiguo smiled and said, “Is Doctor Bai here? If she is, please ask her to come over. We owe her our gratitude for saving lives! Rest assured, if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to us. As long as it’s within the law and not illegal, we will certainly help.” He had once ignored Bai Xiao’s advice, and as a result, he suffered severe bleeding and ended up in bed for three months.

The doctor who saved him had said that the person who came to his aid had indeed excellent medical skills, providing effective treatment for bleeding and pain relief during the most critical moment. Otherwise, by the time medical personnel had arrived, it might have been too late.

When Li Dongliang received news from Dean Zhang that Doctor Bai’s sister and brother-in-law, having no other options, had come to the provincial city to open a restaurant, they made an immediate decision. They simply couldn’t pass up the chance to show their support. If not for hearing about it late, Li Dongliang might have even arranged for a few people to perform a yangko dance and drum show to liven up the event.

Han Weiguo had been intending to visit and thank the young lady; her help in saving him had been selfless, and he felt he had not shown enough appreciation towards his lifesaver.

So a whole group of them came.

Just as Li Dongliang said, it didn’t matter where they ate. And this way, they could look after family members too.
