“Not to mention, who said we aren’t able to guard our own goods? Would we sell our goods if we don’t have the ability to guard them? Don’t you think we are aware of the values of our own goods?”

She paused and smiled lightly. Looking unfalteringly at Deacon Lin, she said in a provocative tone, “Would Deacon Lin like to give that a try? We will be ready whenever you like!”

“Great, great, great!” Deacon Lin gave her a dead stare, he was enraged but wasn’t going to explode right at this moment.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was unaffected by his deadly gaze, she sounded indifferent as usual, “Of course it’s great, we hope you are great too!”

With that said, she turned away from him and looked directly at Innkeeper Zhu, “Mr. Innkeeper, we are sorry. We will no longer be doing business with you. Have a safe trip back!”

“Miss Cheng, I…”

“We are sorry, have a safe trip!” Cheng Xiao Xiao interrupted him, there was no need to continue the conversation.

Deacon Lin let out a loud hrm and disappeared from the chair in a flash. Deacon Lin gave her a deep look before he stood up and left.

Last of all of them, Innkeeper Zhu walked out sighing.

This unpleasant exchange would certainly bring upon them hidden dangers in the future. Mrs. Cheng was worried, she looked at the two in front of her and not sure what to say.

Cheng Biyuan seemed calm and nobody could read what was on his mind. He sipped his tea quietly as though he was unaffected by the earlier exchange.

Cheng Xiao Xiao said a few words to comfort her mother before heading into the kitchen to prepare dinner with her.
