Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 80 - 75: Regret

Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi had already spoken, so the lawyer naturally had no face to stay any longer. He glared angrily at Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi, let out a cold snort, and turned to leave. As he stepped out, he still felt indignant, dialed Pang Xiao’s contact number, and complained irritably, "Pang Xiao, you better control your brother, he’s treating good intentions like donkey liver and lungs, getting sold yet counting money for others!"

Pang Xiao is very protective of his brother. Since their mother died, the only thing he cared about was his brother, Pang Zhi. Although he sometimes thought his brother was rather foolish, he could say so himself — others could not! Pang Zhi is his brother and hasn’t hurt anyone, so why should others despise him?

His face instantly darkened, and he looked at Feng Chen with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Feng Chen, I asked you to go over because I hoped you could help Xiao Zhi. Since you’re unwilling, just forget about it. Also, let me remind you, don’t bring your personal emotions into your work. Whether it’s Xiao Zhi or his friend, they owe you nothing, and you have no rights to boss them around!"

Due to Pang Zhi’s insistence, Pang Xiao took Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi’s collaboration more seriously, especially after looking at the contract Pang Zhi scanned for him. He started seeing Tang Yiyi in a different light and held a bit of hope for the future of the Tang Family.

Though this didn’t mean he fully trusted Tang Yiyi, at least he saw her sincerity. The contract, although different from what he originally envisioned, wasn’t too excessive and didn’t take advantage of Pang Zhi, making it a rather equal and mutually beneficial agreement.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically sought Feng Chen to help, to aid Tang Yiyi in solving her current troubles. However, he overlooked Feng Chen’s hostility towards Superpower Users, leading to the current predicament. Just seeing Feng Chen’s attitude now, he could already imagine how frustrated Pang Zhi must be.

Feng Chen wasn’t aware of Pang Xiao’s thoughts at the moment; he only felt his dignity was greatly insulted hearing Pang Xiao’s words! His face turned red with anger, and he couldn’t bear but glare at Pang Xiao and shout, "Pang Xiao! You have let me down immensely! I thought you were different, which is why I became friends with you, but I never imagined you’d be like this! Do you think Superpower Users are inherently superior and ordinary people are just there to be trampled on?"

Pang Xiao watched Feng Chen’s hysterical demeanor, with his brows furrowed. Initially, he thought Feng Chen, though ordinary, was quite capable and had a suitable disposition, prompting their friendship, even considering involving Feng Chen in his secret business plans.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized Feng Chen might not be a suitable choice for friendship or partnership. The failure of Superpower awakening had always been a thorn in Feng Chen’s heart, and now, this thorn seemed to be growing, increasingly affecting Feng Chen’s emotions, causing him innate hostility toward Superpower Users, even to the point of indiscriminate prejudice!

He wanted Feng Chen to help Pang Zhi and Tang Yiyi because he valued Feng Chen’s abilities, but now, Feng Chen lost his judgment because the injured party was an ordinary person, and even turned hostile towards Tang Yiyi!

Pang Xiao thought about his secretly planned business and felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Feng Chen was not too involved, or with his animosity towards Superpower Users, the business he’d painstakingly prepared might just collapse because of Feng Chen!

Seeing him not speak, Feng Chen continued to argue, "Pang Xiao, I’m serious, that Tang woman is definitely not a good business partner; she’s completely exploiting your brother! And I can tell your brother is already under her thumb, he’s not listening to me at all! That contract is riddled with traps, purely taking advantage of your brother. You must make him break it! With me here, even if the contract is broken, the other party won’t benefit!"

However, just as his words fell, he heard Pang Xiao say with a furrowed brow, "Alright, you don’t need to follow up on this matter any further. I’ll arrange for someone else to take over. If you have no other matters, hurry back."

Feng Chen was anxious upon hearing this; he was clearly considering Pang Xiao’s interests everywhere, yet the other party was ungrateful! Unable to help himself, he questioned, "Pang Xiao! What do you mean by this? You don’t trust me? Would I ever harm your brother?"

Pang Xiao didn’t want to argue, patiently comforting, "Of course I trust you, but you’ve been too stressed recently. It was my oversight before; this matter isn’t complicated to resolve, anyone can handle it, why bother you? Come back."

His words made Feng Chen feel slightly better. He disliked Tang Yiyi and was unwilling to help her handle those troublesome online matters. Hearing Pang Xiao’s words, he agreed without hesitation, completely abandoning the issue.

Yet, little did he know, Pang Xiao was already pondering who to replace him once he’d been calmed down. But this matter couldn’t be rushed; Pang Xiao knew Feng Chen’s capabilities and feared any drastic retaliation, so he temporarily put the issue aside, contacted Pang Zhi, and newly arranged a lawyer for him.

The lawyer lived in Qinghe City, not without reputation, and was fairly just. He was already aware of the online discussions, keenly recognizing the underlying deceit. Since Tang Yiyi hadn’t sought his help, he naturally wouldn’t willingly step into this mess. After Pang Xiao contacted him, he accepted the commission and proactively reached out to Pang Zhi.

With Feng Chen’s example, Pang Zhi was especially cautious this time, testing the lawyer several times. Only after confirming he was different from Feng Chen did he bring him to meet Tang Yiyi.

Upon seeing the man, Tang Yiyi quietly let the system check his background and only showed part of her cards once she knew he was reliable.

The evidence she presented was the video recorded when Sun Family members came to make trouble earlier. She had already processed the original video with the system, removing unnecessary parts and highlighting the ugly faces of the Sun Family members. With this video and some behind-the-scenes operation, it was enough to slap those bizarre faces of the Sun Family and help restore some reputations for her and Sun Jian!

The lawyer was rather professional and competent. After carefully reviewing the video, he said, "With this video, we can directly accuse Sun Yao and others of slander. These are shameless villains, and once the charges are confirmed, they’ll definitely drag others into it to absolve themselves!"

He paused here to observe Tang Yiyi’s expression, seeing her face unchanged, he continued a bit defeatedly, "If Miss Tang has any other evidence, it’s best to present it together, so I can draft a detailed plan to help you and Mr. Sun completely turn the situation around!"
