Chapter 111: Confrontation
??
Yu Wan did not know that Chef Yang actually had such an unbearable past. It was really difficult for her to combine the backup chef who was ordered around by others with the top chef of the Tianxiang Restaurant who was surrounded by people today. However, this also confirmed Yu Wan’s guess.
After that, Yu Wan asked how Chef Yang knew about her uncle’s injury. But it was Chef Yang who took the initiative to look for him.
It was said that Uncle was seeing a doctor in town and had accidentally bumped into a shop assistant from Tianxiang Restaurant. The shop assistant was not familiar with Uncle and did not greet him. However, he told Chef Yang about this after returning to Tianxiang Restaurant.
When Uncle was at the Tianxiang Restaurant, he was close to Chef Yang, so it was completely reasonable that the shop assistant would tell him.
After Chef Yang came, he first cried bitterly, then scolded his uncle. “Why didn’t you look for me? No matter how poor I am, I have to send you to get your leg treated!”
Uncle sighed slowly. “His family isn’t doing well either. He has a seriously ill mother.”
Therefore, no matter how desperate Uncle was, he did not want to trouble Chef Yang. However, Chef Yang was a loyal person. He spent a lot of money to hire a famous doctor from the Capital after he had learned of Uncle’s injuries.
Yu Wan thought to herself,?How is this loyalty? He clearly has other motives. I wonder how he came into contact with Uncle’s secret recipes.
Yu Wan thought about it again and again and decided not to say it out loud to make her uncle worry. It wouldn’t be too late to tell her uncle when she really needed him to appear.
Uncle did not express any doubts about Yu Wan’s curiosity. In his opinion, Yu Wan taking the initiative to care about the people and things related to him was a sign that she was close to him. Uncle happily went to cook.
Little Zhenzhen was squatting alone in front of the fire, holding her cheeks and looking at the sweet potatoes in the fire.

Yu Wan said in a low voice, “Big Brother should believe me now, right?”
Little Zhenzhen was attracted by Yu Wan’s deliberately lowered voice and blinked at her. Yu Wan rubbed her little head.
Yu Feng was silent. After a while, he forced out a voice. “I…” He hesitated, as if it was difficult for him to speak.
Little Zhenzhen blinked at her brother again.

Yu Wan had expected such a reaction. After all, if someone suddenly came to tell her that her uncle wanted to harm her, she would not believe it easily even if there was irrefutable evidence. The Yu family’s trust in that person was not inferior to her trust in her uncle.
Yu Wan took out the roasted sweet potato with a pair of tongs and said calmly, “Then there’s only one last way left. We’ll confront him personally. You don’t have to make a decision now. Tell me when you’ve thought it through.”
Yu Wan had thought about it. If Yu Feng rejected this suggestion, then she would do it herself and seek justice for her uncle.

In the backyard, the villagers were working hard. At this rate, the orders they received from the Wei Manor would be completed soon.
She had to quickly sell the stinky tofu to the Tianxiang Restaurant, but if she didn’t deal with that person, she wouldn’t even have the qualifications to enter the Tianxiang Restaurant. Therefore, not only for her uncle, but also for her future business, she had to expose that person.
When they returned to the house, Madam Jiang was washing Little Bruiser’s hair.
Little Bruiser cried out in pain!
Yu Wan was about to say, “Why are you shouting when you wash your hair?” when she saw Little Bruiser’s hair all over the ground, she pretended to be deaf and mute and walked over.

At dawn, Yu Wan steamed the buns and heated them in the pot before turning to leave. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yu Feng standing outside with a dark expression. Even his hair was emitting cold air. It was unknown how long he had been waiting outside.
“You’re here.” Yu Wan did not ask further. She only greeted him quietly and left with Yu Feng.
Today was the Lantern Festival, the last day that the shops in town were closed. Tomorrow, the streets would welcome the usual prosperity. However, there were still only a few shops that were open today.
The two of them walked to the courier station and rented a carriage to enter the Capital.
Yu Feng was very silent along the way.
After entering the Capital, Yu Wan suddenly said, “Big Brother, how do you plan to deal with him? So that I would have a sense of what to do later on.”
“Not really…” Yu Feng paused.” After all, he’s someone who helped my father. As long as he’s willing to admit his mistake, I think… with my father’s personality, he won’t pursue the matter.”
“What about your personality?” Yu Wan asked. “Your father’s hard work has been plagiarized, but as his son, you’re actually indifferent?”

Yu Wan nodded lightly. “I understand what you mean.”?Your idea is good, but I’m afraid it will disappoint you.
As expected, when the two of them went to Tianxiang Restaurant again and explained their intentions to Chef Yang, Chef Yang immediately turned hostile. “What did you say? I plagiarized your father’s recipes?”
Yu Feng was stunned by this sudden anger. In his impression, this uncle was always gentle and kind. He had never been so harsh. The other party was too confident, causing Yu Feng to start suspecting him. Could it be that he was overthinking?
Chef Yang flicked his sleeves coldly. “Hmph! Nephew, I’ve treated your Yu family well. I don’t want you to repay me, but you shouldn’t slander me like this!”
Yu Feng was speechless.
Yu Wan, who was at the side, said, “But we’ve already asked around just now. Those five dishes didn’t come from Chef Tang, but from you, Chef Yang. If you don’t feel guilty at all, why did you lie to us?”
It was not that Yu Wan was deliberately deceiving him, but on the way here, Yu Wan had already asked the other Tianxiang Restaurants. Not only did she know that these dishes were made by “Chef Yang”, but she also knew that the inconspicuous him back then had relied on these few signature dishes to obtain the recognition of the owner and become the head chef of this branch.
Chef Yang’s eyes flashed. “I was inspired by Chef Tang. At the end of the day, the inspiration for these dishes all came from him, so it’s not wrong for me to put the credit on him!”
He was starting to twist his words. He refused to admit that he had plagiarized her uncle and would rather admit that he had plagiarized Chef Tang.
“Big Brother, have you given up now?” Yu Wan asked Yu Feng.
Yu Feng’s eyes flashed with extreme disappointment. “Uncle Yang, I originally thought that as long as you’re willing to admit it, my father and I won’t pursue anything with you, nor will we tell anyone…”
Chef Yang interrupted him without thinking. “What should I admit? How can I admit to something I haven’t done! If your life is difficult, just tell me and I’ll give you the money! I won’t treat you as an outsider because you call me Uncle Yang. But you thought of such a despicable method to blackmail me!”
