CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 865: FINALLY ASCENDING TO CAPITAL’S NUMBER ONE PLAYBOY

"Hmm?" Liu Ruhui looked at the servant, the fat on his face twitching slightly.

"Owner, I was wrong. I have the eyes of a dog and looked down on people. When I saw they were dressed ordinarily, I thought they were local bumpkins from the countryside." The servant was terrified, his legs gave way, and he kneeled on the ground, slapping his own face as he spoke.

He harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that since Han Yan and the others were dressed commonly and hadn’t revealed their identities, it was quite normal for him not to recognize them. If the Fifth Prince were to pick on them, naturally he would side with the Fifth Prince. Who wouldn’t in his situation?

"Since you thought they were local bumpkins, why did you lead them to the Sky Number Elegant Seat?" Alas, Liu Ruhui was not so easily fooled. The fat on his face trembled a few more times as he asked harshly.

"I... I..." At this point, the servant could not explain himself at all.

"Beat him, beat him ruthlessly, beat him as if to death!" Liu Ruhui, being shrewd, could easily guess the servant’s dirty mind and didn’t need any more explanations. With a kick, he sent the servant crashing to the ground. Even if this servant was some distant relative of the shopkeeper, no one could protect him.

Soon, a series of chilling screams came from the backyard.

And then, the scene the servant had long dreaded happened. A figure, beaten black and blue, was thrown out of Yingfeng Building like a dead dog, but that dead dog was no other than himself.

...

"It’s not right, just over a hundred taels, it doesn’t make sense to be so cheap. Did that fatty Liu make a mistake?" On the way back, Han Yunyun became more and more suspicious, raising her doubts.

"Don’t overthink it. He’s the owner, after all, how could he have made such a mistake?" Huayue patted Han Yunyun’s head and said meaningfully.

Han Yunyun looked at Huayue, then at Zirong, and finally at Jiang Yuzhe, and from their half-smiling expressions, she realized something.

"I understand now, he was still apologizing to Brother Han Yan, afraid that if they didn’t charge, it would damage Brother Han Yan’s reputation, so he gave a small token, right?" Han Yunyun’s eyes lit up, and she said joyfully.

"You’ve finally figured it out." Huayue said approvingly.

"But isn’t this just like having a free meal?" Han Yunyun tilted her head and said.

Mu Hanyan wiped her forehead. She had thought about this a lot already, and Han Yunyun wasn’t wrong. Although Fatty Liu put on a full facade, if word spread, it was no different from a free meal!

Oh well, more debts don’t trouble a creditor, and more lice don’t itch. Lady Mu had long been accustomed to her playboy reputation, so even if it grew bigger, it wouldn’t matter much. Mu Hanyan was too lazy to think about it further.

Just as Mu Hanyan had predicted, soon the story of Big Playboy Mu having a free meal at Yingfeng Building spread throughout the Capital. However, for the people of the Capital, this wasn’t a big deal at all. The Capital’s number one playboy having a free meal was nothing surprising. If he didn’t, that would be a surprise. That’s right, indeed! Mu Hanyan’s various escapades since arriving in the Capital finally earned her the title of the Capital’s number one playboy!

Yet another event, not only piqued the interest of the Capital’s commoners, but even the sons of noble families couldn’t stop talking about it.

The Fifth Prince, newly returned to the Capital, wanted to assert his dominance but accidentally targeted Big Playboy Mu. Anyway, given the Fifth Prince’s status, he wasn’t necessarily afraid of Big Playboy Mu, but he wasn’t scared, while the spoiled rich kids around him were. Before the Fifth Prince could throw his weight around, his entourage had all fled.

As a result, the Fifth Prince unwittingly met his match, forced to bow and admit fault to Big Playboy Mu, losing face completely.

Although the Fifth Prince hadn’t revealed his identity, barely maintaining some dignity, there were numerous diners in the restaurant who witnessed the scene firsthand. The event was retold vividly, leaving no one doubting the rumors.

The Fifth Prince’s attempt to establish authority backfired, turning him into a laughingstock among the people of the Capital. Even the princes who were wary of him nearly laughed themselves to tears.
