Little Taotie widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that it was obviously his matter, yet he could deny it so bravely.
Watching him shout about being wronged, Little Taotie almost thought she had indeed accused the wrong person!
Chef Wu made his argunt more convincing, straightening his back and speaking with rising confidence, "Why don’t you suspect the Head Chef, why not the fat guy, why specifically suspect ? You’re targeting ! Accusing !"
Little Taotie: "..."
The little one rarely found herself at such a loss for words.
She simply stared at the adult in front of her who was clamoring about being wronged, watching the strange mushrooms on his head grow wildly, seeing his whole body covered in mushrooms, as if he had turned into soone decayed and transford into an expert liar.
Chef Wu saw that Little Taotie was silent, thinking she had admitted defeat.
Chef Wu, quite pleased, lifted his chin and stood even straighter, exuding the pride of a victorious rooster.
Little Taotie: "Have you finished shouting about being wronged?"
Chef Wu was stunned, not expecting her to ask this, and instinctively nodded.
Little Taotie opened the window and poked her head out, seriously gazing at the sky.
Chef Wu puzzled, "What are you looking at?"
Little Taotie withdrew her gaze from the sky, casting her small eyes sideways at him, "I’m looking to see if it’s snowing."
"Huh?" Chef Wu was puzzled.
Little Taotie continued, "I heard that in unjust situations, it can snow even in June. I’m checking if your outcry of injustice will make it snow."
Chef Wu: "..." What’s with the child’s logic!
Little Taotie closed the window, puckered her small face, trying hard to look serious and stern, inadvertently mimicking Shen Cang’s frequent scolding deanor, "The sky isn’t snowing, so you probably aren’t wronged."
Chef Wu finally understood; this little girl was actually using this thod to judge if soone was wronged!
How childish!
But he couldn’t say much, after all, she really was just a child.
Chef Wu: "Those are just stories for kids; the world is so big, every day soone is wronged. If every unjust person made it snow, wouldn’t it snow every day?"
"Stories for kids?" Little Taotie tilted her head, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Chef Wu, her gaze intense, "Are you also telling stories to kids?"
Facing such pure eyes, Chef Wu felt a mont of sha, thinking that deceiving a child for $90,000 was indeed disgraceful.
But he was an adult, no longer as naive and innocent as a child, having learned to weigh benefits against risks. So he was very clear about what he wanted and what was best for him.
Just like this "Tangshi Xuan", only when it closed would it be best for him!
With $90,000, his life would be completely different.
If "Tangshi Xuan" kept going, he would still be just a kitchen worker, struggling day by day like the Head Chef, not much money, life tight as always.
He was very confident in himself; as long as he got the $90,000, he was sure he could start a small restaurant and gradually expand it, making a fortune!
"I’m not lying to you; I am wronged. I didn’t tamper with that dish, those maggots have nothing to do with ; I didn’t put them there. You should investigate others instead."
His eyes were once again honest, so he sincerely spoke his falsehood.
Little Taotie lowered her eyes, asking, "What benefit do you get if Tangshi Xuan closes?"
Too many benefits! Chef Wu sighed, "Yeah, what benefit would it be for ? So I have no motive, it really wasn’t ; you wrongly blad ."
