Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1497 - 314, Damn You (First Update)_3

When Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of the inn, a few noble ladies were gathered together whispering. Although there were no men in the room, that recent scene would make anyone think of what misfortune had befallen Yao Hanai.

"Who knows which blabbermouth spread rumors without clarifying the situation? Miss Yao was clearly on a date with her beau, where did the rescue come into it?"

"Exactly, oh, it’s so pitiful for Miss Yao to be just abandoned by her lover in the inn like that, poor thing!"

Despite their words of pity, the woman’s face clearly revealed a look of schadenfreude.

Cheng Yuexiu naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to avenge Su Qiuyu’s grievances: "Tsk tsk, this Miss Yao isn’t she also known as the number one talented lady of the Capital city? I wouldn’t have guessed her character to be so..."

So how exactly? Cheng Yuexiu’s face was full of disdain; it was evident she didn’t mean anything complimentary.

The group of women pursed their lips and nodded in agreement, glancing at Lin Yuan and Su Qiuyu, thinking about inquiring Xia Zheng’s whereabouts. However, seeing Su Qiuyu’s pale face, they couldn’t help but shut their mouths.

Lin Yuan found these people very boring; she still needed to find Xia Zheng, so she planned to leave.

Just as she took a few steps, she sensed a familiar figure approaching from the opposite direction.

Seeing the sly smile on his face and the pride in his eyes that couldn’t be hidden, Lin Yuan’s heart suddenly calmed.

"Wow! Second Young Master Xia!"

The sharp-eyed woman had already cried out in surprise, drawing everyone’s attention.

There, Xia Zheng approached with a clear and bright look, a smile in his eyes, walking gracefully. By his side was the Second Young Master of Prime Minister Su’s household, Su Tianrui. Although this young man also possessed an exceptional charm, he seemed slightly less outstanding compared to Xia Zheng.

Following them was a man with a cold and stiff expression, dressed in black. Those who had seen Lin Yuan knew him; he was her coachman, apparently named Lin Yi.

As soon as she saw Xia Zheng, Su Qiuyu couldn’t help but shed tears, walking quickly towards him while weakly calling out, "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!"

Seeing Su Qiuyu meeting Xia Zheng ahead of her, tear-stained and rushing up, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but frown, and her hand clenched inside the wide sleeve.

However, before Lin Yuan could react, Su Tianrui had already swiftly caught Su Qiuyu’s arm and chuckled dryly, "Little sister, what’s wrong with you? Haha, Xia Zheng is quite alright, isn’t he?"

Pulling her arm away was futile for Su Qiuyu; she became so anxious that she cried even harder.

What made her even sadder was that, even though she had approached Xia Zheng ahead of Lin Yuan, he didn’t even look at her; his eyes passed over her as if looking towards Lin Yuan behind her, as though she was invisible!

Su Qiuyu felt both heartache and annoyance as her tears fell unceasingly like rain.

The other noble ladies watching the drama couldn’t help but lower their heads and cough, turning away, but they couldn’t help sneaking glances in this direction, their eyes filled with glee as if saying, "The scene where Su Qiuyu was just rejected is so amusing."

"Yuanyuan."

Xia Zheng came directly in front of Lin Yuan, taking her hand as if no one else was there, and realized that her hand was chillingly cold.

Xia Zheng’s brow furrowed deeply when he realized Lin Yuan had left the house without wearing a cloak.

It was early winter now; how could she not have cold hands after staying outside for so long?

"Why aren’t you wearing a cloak?"

As he spoke, Xia Zheng took off his own cloak and draped it over Lin Yuan’s shoulders.

Feeling the familiar and pure scent on Xia Zheng’s cloak, Lin Yuan’s heart settled even more. She clasped Xia Zheng’s hand and complained with a bit of grievance, "It’s all because of you. Who knows which damn fool said you were injured, claiming you were rescued by Miss Yao and brought back to the city? In my rush, I naturally forgot to wear a cloak."

Hearing Lin Yuan’s unrefined use of the phrase "damn fool," the noble ladies eavesdropping all coughed discreetly. Although the expression was crude, to be honest, it was truly satisfying!

Afterward, the phrase "damn fool" became widely popular in the circles of noble ladies in the Capital city; one could often hear them muttering this vulgar phrase.

"That seller of rouge, that damn fool! He gave me so little rouge today!"

"Why is this dish so salty? Damn fool!"

"Cousin, that damn fool, after so long he still doesn’t come to propose, it’s infuriating!"

Later on, the phrase "damn fool" was even included by a contemporary literary giant in the Dayong New Words Record, highlighting its notable status.
