Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1375 - 1364: Refusing to Be a Tragic Heroine

I can make you scram.

Upon hearing this, Liu Laosan wilted. He looked in panic at the person in front of him, finally realizing he might have encountered someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

"Are you Mr. Cheng?" he asked humbly, knowing that only Mr. Cheng owned this street.

"What do you think?" Cheng Ruiting looked at him expressionlessly, a person usually mild only showing his ruthless side at such times.

Liu Laosan’s legs turned weak with fear, and he hurriedly pleaded, "Mr. Cheng, give me a chance. I didn’t know it was you. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have dared to speak to you like that, even with the guts of a lion."

"You must have done this kind of bullying more than once, haven’t you?" Cheng Ruiting looked at him coldly. "You’ve wronged not just me, but them too. If your skills are not good, why force others to sell their recipes? If business was always done like yours, would there still be fairness in this world?"

"I..." Liu Laosan was speechless, knowing today was his end. Who didn’t know Mr. Cheng despised bullies most? And today, he was caught red-handed.

"Get rid of his stall. From now on, as long as it’s my area, he is not allowed to set up a stall." Cheng Ruiting directly sentenced Liu Laosan, meaning unless he moved to another city, he would never do business in Luocheng again.

Ye Qiu stared at Cheng Ruiting, realizing he was the second male lead, exactly as described in novels. She couldn’t understand why in her past life, Cheng Ruiting helped her through all hardships, even taking care of the child for her, yet she chose not to be with him, returning to Zhang Xianwei, that scumbag abuser.

Ye Qiu’s gaze naturally caught Cheng Ruiting’s attention, but he did not get angry, as every time he appeared, there were always women showing infatuated looks. He was used to it, and besides, her gaze wasn’t even that.

"It’s nothing now. I’m sorry you were bullied for so long in my place. I see the stall is quite remote here. Now that Liu Laosan is gone, would you like to move there?" Cheng Ruiting said very kindly.

Chen Ju hadn’t reacted yet, but Aunt Li quickly pulled her to express thanks, "Quickly thank Mr. Cheng. Liu Laosan’s spot is in the center of the street. Moving there could improve your business, and maybe you’ll be able to buy a house here before long."

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng," Chen Ju sincerely expressed gratitude without refusing the opportunity.

"No need to thank, anyway the stalls must be rented out, plus your products are worthwhile."

Seeing him about to leave, Ye Qiu called out, "Mr. Cheng, if you don’t mind, please let us send you some homemade marinated dishes. Rest assured, they are made with healthy fresh ingredients, nothing unsanitary."

Aunt Li also warmly invited, "Indeed, her marinated dishes are delicious. Mr. Cheng, you must give them a try."

Cheng Ruiting stopped in his tracks and nodded slightly, "Alright, then I’ll trouble you."

"Not a trouble," Ye Qiu smiled lightly, quickly slicing and mixing the dishes. She didn’t ask for Cheng Ruiting’s taste preferences, but he soon discovered this person seemed to know him well; there was no cilantro, but much chili was added. Everyone thought a big boss like him preferred exquisite gourmet dishes, however he grew up with his grandfather, who loved spicy food, so he developed this habit too.

Just as he wondered why this small stall owner knew his taste, Ye Qiu spoke, "Sorry Mr. Cheng, I forgot to ask if you can eat spicy food. Everyone says my chili is fragrant, you can give it a try, I can mix a new batch for you."

Turns out it was coincidence, Cheng Ruiting set aside his doubts, finding the newly mixed marinated dishes even tastier than those in the orphanage, the aroma directly tantalizing his nose, making him almost swallow.

"No need to mix again, this one’s good enough. You all continue your business at ease, I will ensure this night market’s rules are closely monitored." Cheng Ruiting walked away after speaking, not out of courtesy, but he truly couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Mr. Cheng remains as kind as ever," Aunt Li commented as she watched Cheng Ruiting’s back to Cold Pond.

Chen Ju still looked puzzled, "Who exactly is this Mr. Cheng?"

"You’ve just arrived in Luocheng, so you might not know, this Mr. Cheng is our city’s biggest entrepreneur, owning innumerable assets here. Besides, Mr. Cheng is very good, not only focusing on charity, but also handling any unfair matters well if he knows about them. This is my first time seeing Mr. Cheng, didn’t expect him to be so handsome."

"Then why did no one previously report Liu Laosan’s bullying here at the night market to Mr. Cheng for justice?"

"It’s because Mr. Cheng is so good that none wished to bother him."

"I see." Chen Ju nodded in realization, then laughed happily, "Today, we really need to thank Mr. Cheng, otherwise who knows what excessive things Liu Laosan might do."

"From now on, you can conduct business at ease, with Mr. Cheng stepping in today, no one will dare trouble you again."

"Though once you’ve moved, it’ll be a bit farther away."

In doing business, Chen Ju gradually stood her ground thanks to kind helpers like Aunt Li, honestly feeling a bit reluctant.

"That’s no problem, still the same street, I’ll just walk over sometimes for a chat." Aunt Li said casually, easing Chen Ju’s emotional concerns a bit.

After Cheng Ruiting left, local folks continued discussing, mostly praising his virtues.

Ye Qiu sighed lightly, seeing how he was so revered locally, it was clear Cheng Ruiting indeed was excellent. Given all this, she couldn’t understand why in her past life she refused him. Was it feeling unworthy?

Meanwhile, Zhang Xianwei finally tracked Ye Qiu’s whereabouts, knowing she settled in Luocheng, furiously throwing a fit.

When Li Jiaru visited his home, she happened upon him smashing things at home.

"That short-sighted daughter of mine, I gave her an out, yet she ran. Does she think escaping Ming City to Luocheng would find her a better man than me? Who would want her?"

With a gloomy face, Zhang Xianwei, it was unclear if he loved Ye Qiu or felt his pride was wounded by her escape, but this issue had become a thorn in his heart, untouchable by anyone.

Li Jiaru now faced a gold bar tainted with filth placed before her, finding it repulsive but reluctant to leave behind.

After all, this was her fiancé, top man of Ming City. Yet, Ye Qiu had already left without a trace, why was he still so fixated?
