Chapter 309: The Chain of Suspicion

Deng Shuxin, Deng Yuqing, and even Deng Zhiming all wore expressions of disbelief.

With Zheng Qian's high status, why would he lie?

Seeing how serious and precise he sounded, everyone looked at Ding Junhui and Si Zehan with eyes full of hostility.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"He's making things up, this is slander!"

Ding Junhui pointed at Zheng Qian, speaking in a frantic rage.

Si Zehan was also getting anxious.

He had been planning this for half a month, and his desired outcome was to at least secure one of the three beauties.

But he hadn't expected Zheng Qian to suddenly intervene, breaking his plans and exposing his true colors.

After putting in so much effort and preparation, if Zheng Qian ruined everything on his own, he probably wouldn't be able to forget this even if he drank Meng Po's soup.

Ruining someone's romantic prospects is an irreconcilable grudge.

"Yuqing, listen to me, let me explain." Si Zehan tried to calm the emotions of the three members of the Deng family.

But Deng Zhiming couldn't hold back his fiery temper.

His two daughters were his precious treasures; he wouldn't let anyone use such opportunistic methods to deceive and ruin them.

Deng Zhiming absolutely wouldn't allow it.

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

As Deng Zhiming spoke, he grabbed a stool, intending to attack the two of them.

Regardless of whether what Zheng Qian said was true or false, Zheng Qian was their major benefactor.

Since there was conflict between the two parties, even if Si Zehan really only wanted to invest, it was impossible for them to have any dealings.

Seeing the attitude of the Deng family, Si Zehan and Ding Junhui quickly retreated from the house, leaving with their tails between their legs.

"Xiao Qian... I'm sorry..."

Deng Yuqing was the first to apologize to Zheng Qian.

She really didn't know that Si Zehan and Ding Junhui had a conflict with Zheng Qian.

"Also, thank you."

If it weren't for Zheng Qian's kind reminder, she and her sister might have really fallen for it.

Zheng Qian waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

Actually, the sisters had good intentions.

He had provided the money to start Qingyuan Coffee, helping the sisters fulfill their dream, and the sisters felt grateful to him.

The reason they did this was actually because they didn't want Zheng Qian to spend any more money.

And this point was somewhat different from Jin Lu.

Even if Jin Lu asked Zheng Qian for something, she wouldn't want to have any connection with these men who had impure motives.

Whether it was Deng Yuqing or Deng Shuxin, their relationship with Zheng Qian wasn't as close as Jin Lu's.

It was true that their Favorability was high, but their relationship was ambiguous, and they hadn't officially confirmed their status.

Zheng Qian could understand why they did this.

The competition between the two coffee shops was a bit like an endless chain of suspicion.

According to Jin Lu, they used to communicate frequently, but after becoming competitors, they tacitly stopped contacting each other.

Now, anyone with eyes could see that the competitive relationship between Jin Lu and the Deng family was becoming increasingly obvious.

Although it was calm on the surface, there were turbulent undercurrents beneath the water.

This is business, and no one could be sure if the other party would try to destroy them.

Rather than waiting to be destroyed by the other side, it was better to strike first and swallow the other party's market share.

The Deng family had actually discussed finding a new investment as soon as possible, otherwise the coffee shop might die in the cradle.

A woman like Jin Lu certainly wouldn't be soft-hearted and would definitely find a way to suppress them.

If they didn't plan ahead, they would definitely be pushed out of Shuangliu Street.

That was why they were so eager to seek investment and fell into Si Zehan's trap.
