Chu Jia was stunned by the question for a moment. She looked at Lan Ke suspiciously, unable to understand how she knew that.
When Lan Yi died, Lan Ke was only 5 years old. She was just a little kid who knew nothing. She had never seen the recipe. How could she know
She was just relying on the fact that Lan Ke had never seen it before so she dared to talk nonsense. Who would have thought that Lan Ke actually knew that the emblem of the Lan family was printed on the recipe!
This made her wonder what to do. She definitely couldn't take out the recipe, otherwise it would prove that she was lying. But if she didn't take out the recipe, Lan Ke would have more reason to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Even though Chu Jia was cunning, he couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he could only give Tang Jingtian a look and ask him to make a decision quickly.
Unfortunately, Tang Jingtian not only had no good solution, but even blamed Chu Jia for saying such a thing. If she hadn't lied, how could Lan Ke have taken the opportunity to cause trouble
Neither he nor Chu Jia spoke, and the atmosphere became heavy. Tang Qi, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at Lan Ke arrogantly and asked, "What do you want the recipe for?"
Lan Ke looked at her with amusement. Tang Qi had been spoiled by Tang Jingtian and Chu Jia since she was a child. After she became a star and was flattered by her fans, her temper and airs became worse and worse. She wished she could look up to the sky all day long and was as arrogant as a princess.
Tang Qi was extremely dissatisfied with Lan Ke's mocking gaze. Just as she was about to say something, Lan Ke suddenly spoke up: "The Lan family's recipe originally belonged to me. Do I need a reason to want it?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Hu and Bai Ling couldn't help laughing, even Zhao Dong and others couldn't help laughing. Zhao Dong had always regarded Tang Qi as his dream lover, but now he was a little disappointed.
He occupied other people's belongings and refused to hand them over, and even asked the other person what they were doing there. This... this was really too much.
Tang Qi was upset by Lan Ke's words. She knew that arguing further would only make her more embarrassed, so she said, "Lan Ke, you are being immature. Dad is just keeping it for you. He didn't say he wouldn't give it to you. Why do you have to make him angry with others? If you want the recipe, just take it. Why do you have to say these things to make others angry?"
Lan Ke was so angry that she laughed. Tang Qi's ability to confuse right and wrong was really improving. With just a few words, she could make it seem like she was wrong.
She didn't waste time and energy arguing with Tang Qi, but followed her words and said, "Since you said so, just take out the recipe. I will leave as soon as I get the recipe and will never stay here to bother you."
Tang Jingtian glared at Tang Qi in disappointment. He never expected that things would come to this point after just a few words!
That recipe is his lifeblood. Tang Qi is really fooling around by wanting to give it to Lan Ke!
But Tang Jingtian gave up as soon as he glared at Tang Qi. Tang Qi was different from Lan Ke. She was his favorite daughter. Let alone beating or scolding her, he would feel distressed even if she glared at him!
Having said that, if he wanted to regret it, it would be like slapping Tang Qi in the face, which was obviously not possible. Tang Jingtian hesitated for a long time, knowing that he could not keep the recipe, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I can give you the recipe, but it involves commercial secrets after all, so you must swear that you will never sell the recipe to anyone else, otherwise your mother will not be at peace in the underworld!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. Not to mention Lan Ke, even Tang Jingtian's bodyguards felt that it was too much.
"Tang Jingtian, don't push your luck! If you don't return the recipe to me, I will ruin your reputation immediately! I think there must be a lot of people in this world who want to know how you made your fortune. What do you think? If I tell others about what you did, what will happen to Tang's stocks? What will happen to your precious daughter?"
God knows it's the end of the world, who would care about Tang Jingtian's scandals. But Lan Ke knew that this trick might not work on others, but it would be perfect to use against Tang Jingtian!
This man is too concerned about his reputation. How could he dare to gamble on the possibility of ruining his reputation
Sure enough, Tang Jingtian's face changed, and he said fiercely: "You... you dare! Do you think others will believe you? Don't be naive, no one will believe you!"
Lan Ke knew he was not confident enough when she saw his panicked look, so she added fuel to the fire: "So what? As long as someone is willing to believe it, it's fine. You know, netizens these days love to follow trends and gossip the most.
There are also those irresponsible media that dare to write anything as long as they are paid. Anyway, I have already sold my stocks. At worst, I can use all the money to hire water armies to promote you over and over again. What do you think? "
Tang Jingtian was completely panicked now: "Enough! Stop talking! I'll give you the recipe! But you'd better not try to sell it, or you'll get a court summons!"
Just as Lan Ke said, Tang Jingtian didn't dare to gamble. Moreover, hiring Internet trolls to create momentum and paying the media to publish articles were his usual methods. How could he not know how terrible Internet trolls were
Most netizens are blind, not only do they like to follow the trend, but they also have a serious hatred of the rich! As long as it is black material about rich people, no matter how false it is, there are people willing to believe it!
He couldn't gamble his reputation with Tang's, he simply couldn't afford it!
Not only Tang Jingtian knew, but Chu Jia, Tang Qi and Tang Qiong also knew! So the three of them did not stop Tang Jingtian from handing over the recipe, but just looked at Lan Ke with unkind eyes.
The four looked at Lan Ke with poisonous eyes, wishing to cut her into pieces. However, Lan Ke was not afraid, and even said deliberately: "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm just taking back what originally belonged to me. Boss Tang, it's getting late. If you don't get the recipe out, they won't be able to wait any longer."
Tang Jingtian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but when he saw that Bai Hu and the other three were staring at him, he had to endure it.
"Just wait!" He left the living room angrily. About ten minutes later, Tang Jingtian returned to the living room and threw the recipe in his hand to Lan Ke: "Take it and get out of here. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Lan Ke carefully caught the recipe Tang Jingtian threw to her and put it away after checking it carefully. Then she ignored Tang Jingtian and said to Bai Hu in a good mood: "Thank you for your help just now. As a reward, I want to remind you not to ask for cash as a reward. Ask him to give you vacuum-packed meat products. Okay, see you later."
After that, she looked at the driver, Lao He, and said, "My things are still in the car. Please open the door for me. I need to get my things."
Tang Jingtian wished that Lan Ke would disappear right before his eyes. He was dissatisfied when he heard this: "What could you have in the car?"
Lan Ke was about to speak when Babao's voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, [Ruthless Swordsman] sent a private message!"
Lan Ke was shocked. Why would the [Ruthless Swordsman] suddenly send her a private message
