Chapter 93

After hearing Yi Tiantian's words, everyone present instantly became excited.

What had Wu Fu done to incur such public wrath? And to be publicly subjected to the dog punishment!

Most people were watching the spectacle, while Wu Xin laughed out loud upon hearing his brother’s impending predicament.

Wu Fu glared fiercely at his younger brother Wu Xin, but he was surprised to find that this time, his brother did not lower his head in fear as usual; instead, he continued to laugh openly.

This was the first time Wu Fu felt that his younger brother might have truly grown up, daring to act so insolently toward him!

Wu Fu clenched his fists in the dark, thinking that he would deal with this lawless younger brother tonight!

At this moment, Wu Fu knew he still needed to focus all his attention on Fu Chongye and Yi Tiantian!

Yi Tiantian had said he would eat like a dog on the ground, but that was absolutely impossible!

Because he had made thorough preparations for this trip to gain more fans.

He knew that eating like a dog was an ancient punishment in Women Town, specifically for those who wasted food.

Before appearing on the show, Wu Fu had studied all the customs of Women Town.

So he believed his behavior and manners would not have the slightest flaw, and he certainly would not waste food intentionally!

Therefore, what Yi Tiantian had just said was mere nonsense and would never come true!

Wu Fu thought to himself with great confidence.

Mayor Lu was pleasantly surprised by everyone's arrival, as she, being the mayor, had always worked tirelessly for the town, even forgetting her own birthday.

But she never expected these young ladies to remember it so clearly!

Tears welled up in Mayor Lu's eyes as she stood up, almost choked with emotion, unable to speak.

The guests also stood up happily, joining the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to Mayor Lu.

Mayor Lu looked at everyone with excitement and, amid the cheers, clasped her hands together and made a wish.

"Mayor Lu is truly a model mayor! Even her birthday wish is for the town to become better!"

"Truly worthy of being the leader of Women Town!"

Yi Tiantian inadvertently revealed Mayor Lu's wish, which added another layer of respect from the guests towards Mayor Lu.

After blowing out the candles amidst the crowd's applause, Mayor Lu, with a radiant face, said, "Thank you all for this wonderful surprise! Let's cut the cake now!"

The woman who brought the cake, seemingly pulling a knife out of nowhere, began to organize things, saying, "I'll start cutting the cake then!"

Just as the woman was about to place the knife on the cake, a hurried male voice came from behind.

"Please wait, to show my respect for Mayor Lu, let me cut the cake!"

All the officials of Women Town turned to look at the source of the voice.

It turned out to be the suave Wu Fu.

The audience in the chat room saw Wu Fu voluntarily step forward to cut the cake, and their opinion of him improved further.

[Wow, Wu Fu not only understands the professional customs of Women Town but also takes the initiative to cut the cake for the mayor, showing great sincerity!]

[Yeah, Wu Fu stands out among the guests! Is it true that calligraphy practitioners have especially good character?]

[I'm in love! Not only is he handsome, but he's also so kind!!!]

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Fu walked forward but did not take the cake knife offered by the woman.

"Mr. Wu, you need a knife to cut the cake."

The woman kindly reminded him.

Wu Fu frowned slightly. He was about to touch the cake bare-handed when he heard the woman's words. After hesitating for two seconds, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"But, I know there is a custom in Women Town."

Wu Fu turned to address everyone.

"I've heard that when eating cake in Women Town, people usually break it apart with their hands to show bravery and bless the person celebrating their birthday."

Upon hearing Wu Fu's words, a flash of displeasure crossed Mayor Lu's eyes, but she quickly hid it.

"Mr. Wu, what you mentioned is indeed a custom of Women Town, but it is an old rule. Now, wouldn't it be too wasteful to grab the cake with bare hands?"

Although Mayor Lu smiled, her words carried a hint of seriousness.

Even the originally cheerful crowd, gathered to celebrate the mayor's birthday, sensed this and many people looked at Wu Fu awkwardly.

"Wu Fu's research on the customs is correct, but back then, Women Town suffered a significant decision-making error that led to a food shortage, hence establishing this rule to boost morale."

"In that era of food scarcity, many villagers in Women Town lived in hardship, and some children even died of hunger... So for Women Town, that period was a disaster they never wanted to return to."

Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts revealed this somewhat heavy truth to everyone.

"But fortunately, all of that is in the past now, and Women Town will never experience famine again!"

It turned out that the prosperous Women Town they saw today had once gone through such a difficult period.

Everyone sighed deeply.

But Wu Fu’s behavior just now brought back the memories of that period for the residents present, including Mayor Lu, which was why they all looked so heavy-hearted.

Everyone could understand, after all, it might be a very painful memory for them.

After hearing Yi Tiantian’s thoughts, the staff and guests beside her all turned their gazes to Wu Fu.

Wu Fu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.

At this moment, he was extremely frightened.

His actions just now were no different from reopening old wounds, and if he had directly touched the cake, it would likely have led to the dog punishment as Yi Tiantian said, for violating Women Town’s rules!

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Wu Fu’s back.

But soon he felt relieved.

Fortunately, he had wisely pulled his hand back in time!

Now, Yi Tiantian’s prediction wouldn’t come true!

Because Wu Fu believed he had personally defused everything!

“Oh, I see, I’m really sorry.”

Wu Fu hurriedly bowed and apologized to Mayor Lu.

Mayor Lu knew Wu Fu’s actions might have been unintentional, so she waved her hand generously.

“It’s fine, let’s cut the cake now!”

This time, Wu Fu took the knife from the woman and began to cut Mayor Lu’s birthday cake seriously.

While cutting, he thought smugly that Yi Tiantian’s prediction definitely wouldn’t come true now!

After slicing the cake neatly, Wu Fu steadily put down the knife.

Then, feigning enthusiasm, he said to everyone, “Everyone can start eating now!”

Everyone eagerly took their pieces of cake and began to enjoy them heartily.

But the staff and guests who could hear Yi Tiantian’s thoughts felt a bit puzzled while eating the cake.

According to the normal plot development, shouldn’t Wu Fu have directly ruined the cake with his hands and then been punished with the dog punishment by Mayor Lu?

Why did Wu Fu not only escape any punishment but also successfully cut the cake?!

Fu Chongye was also among those who were puzzled.

He looked at Yi Tiantian and found her happily tasting the cake.

At this moment, Yi Tiantian showed no sign of panic, as if she firmly believed in her own thoughts.

Fu Chongye couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

Perhaps because the cake was too delicious, Yi Tiantian even showed a contented smile.

Her eyes curved, and her smile was warm and inviting.

Fu Chongye was deeply captivated by this smile, instantly forgetting everything around him.

But Fei Cheng, sitting beside Yi Tiantian, was already used to this.

After all, every time Yi Tiantian revealed something shocking in the past, people didn’t believe her, but facts proved them all wrong.

Because none of Yi Tiantian’s revelations had ever been inaccurate!

Since he had cut the birthday cake for Mayor Lu, Wu Fu was now proudly taking photos with the mayor.

“You are the most beautiful mayor I’ve ever seen.”

While flattering Mayor Lu with false praise, Wu Fu posed for the camera, showing off what he thought was his handsome figure.

These words pleased Mayor Lu greatly, and she laughed, saying, “Mr. Wu is truly good at giving compliments! By the way, we have a few scenic spots in our town that need calligraphy. Would Mr. Wu be willing to grace us by writing a few words for Women Town?”

Seeing that his flattery had worked, Wu Fu smiled even wider.

“What are you talking about, Mayor Lu! It’s my honor to contribute to Women Town!”

Wu Xin, seeing his brother, who usually beat and insulted him, receive an invitation from Mayor Lu, felt a surge of anger.

The staff and guests who could hear Yi Tiantian’s thoughts were also somewhat angry.

Wasn’t Wu Fu just being so smug because Mayor Lu couldn’t hear about his bullying of his younger brother Wu Xin?

But now, everyone was helpless against Wu Fu and could only watch as he fawned over Mayor Lu.

Some of the angry staff even thought that Yi Tiantian wasn’t so great after all, and his predictions weren’t always accurate!

Fu Chongye clearly noticed the unrest around him and looked worriedly at Yi Tiantian.

Finally, at this moment of great attention, Yi Tiantian’s thoughts appeared again!

“Ah, why isn’t everyone eating? The food in Women Town is so delicious!”

“Tell me (chew chew chew), who invented this Women Town’s Little Xiang dish? (chew chew chew)”

The staff, who had been listening intently to Yi Tiantian’s thoughts, felt like fools.

It turned out Yi Tiantian hadn’t been thinking about Wu Fu at all!

Yi Tiantian was happily eating her meal alone, while Wu Fu was chatting and toasting with everyone else in a smooth and effortless manner.

It was bad enough that he was chatting and toasting, but he was also subtly mocking others!

"Oh, my younger brother Wu Xin is quite introverted; he doesn't drink alcohol. I don't mind working hard, but please don't tire out my brother."

"Oh, the other guests might be tired. No problem, I'll drink with everyone!"

Anyone who listened carefully could tell that these words were indirectly belittling others while elevating himself!

Wu Xin, upon hearing Wu Fu's words, felt that he had reached the pinnacle of shamelessness!

At that moment, Wu Fu was holding his glass, chatting and discussing, not at all resembling the cultured calligrapher he was supposed to be!

Just when everyone thought that the wicked Wu Fu would get away with it, an unexpected incident occurred.

Because it was Mayor Lu's birthday, the tavern specially sent over a dish of cured meat and fresh fish.

Cured meat and fresh fish is a specialty of Women Town. In this dish, the fish and cured meat are soaked in a rich and fragrant fish broth, the aroma of which keeps wafting into people's noses.

Wu Fu, who had done his research on Women Town, naturally knew about this dish. So he confidently took the dish from the waiter, intending to place it in front of Mayor Lu himself.

Wu Fu looked radiant tonight, acting unusually proactive.

Not only did he want to win over Fu Chongye with his personal charm, but he also wanted to impress Mayor Lu and the audience watching on screen.

Thus, the confident Wu Fu began to serve the dish while educating everyone, "You may not know, but the origin of this dish..."

Wu Fu had barely started speaking when the overflowing fish broth caused his hand to slip, and he spilled the bowl full of fish broth right there!

The thick and delicious fish broth was now splashed all over the floor, and most of it even splattered onto the white suit that Mayor Lu had just put on for the day.

But that wasn't the most amusing part; what was even more exciting was that Wu Fu himself slipped on the fish broth on the ground and fell flat on his face!

At that moment, Wu Fu was sprawled on the ground, looking like a dog!

Perhaps because the fish was too fragrant, or perhaps due to some mysterious force compelling him, Wu Fu actually stuck out his tongue and licked the fish broth off the ground!

"Truly dog-like indeed!"

"No, dogs eating their food are much cuter than him!"

Yi Tiantian muttered sarcastically from the side.

Wu Fu finally got his comeuppance, and everyone was delighted.

The staff members watched Wu Fu closely, laughing and whispering among themselves.

Han Juanjuan, who had been largely unnoticed since the evening began, burst out laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.

"He actually used his tongue to lick the ground... Hahaha!!"

As for Wu Xin, seeing his always bullying older brother in such a state, he felt like setting off fireworks to celebrate.

Seeing Wu Fu's appearance, Fu Chongye reaffirmed his belief in Yi Tiantian's accuracy.

Fei Cheng, on the other hand, remained steadfastly by Yi Tiantian's side. When she ate seafood, he shelled it for her; when she needed a napkin, he handed it to her.

The two of them enjoyed their meal in their little world, completely uninterested in what was happening outside.

Seeing this scene, Fu Chongye felt as if 10 tons of explosives had gone off inside him, but in front of the camera, he could only grit his teeth and take a sip of wine.

After Wu Fu fell to the ground, the only ones who showed concern for him were the people of Women Town.

They helped Wu Fu up, and Mayor Lu, whose white suit was now stained, quickly asked with concern, "Mr. Wu, are you alright?"

Wu Fu knew he had made a fool of himself, especially since he had inexplicably behaved like a dog, crawling on the ground and eating!

His face flushed with shame and anger, Wu Fu replied in a low, controlled voice, "I'm fine."

He then shot a fierce glare at his younger brother Wu Xin, who was laughing and chatting with Han Juanjuan and the other guests.

Noticing this look, Yi Tiantian began to spread gossip again.

"Wu Fu always takes out his humiliation and embarrassment on his younger brother Wu Xin, either scolding him harshly or beating him until he can't see the light of day!"

"And tonight, Wu Fu actually harbored murderous intentions towards his younger brother Wu Xin!"
