"The Hu Family is not unreasonable, and Manager Huang was indeed at fault first, but your people broke both of Manager Huang's legs, which was excessively harsh. For the sake of the Master of Chenyu Pavilion, I am willing to spare his legs, but compensation and an apology are unavoidable," Hu Tao said.
"Then, thank you, Young Master Hu, for your mercy," Yu Chenyu said with a smile, feeling that this was the best outcome possible. After all, since Hu Tao had stepped in, he wouldn't leave the matter unresolved, and anything that could be settled with money was not a big issue.
The shopkeepers behind Hu Tao all showed unwilling faces, but with Yu Chenyu intervening, persisting would only embarrass Hu Tao, so they remained silently displeased.
Manager Wu and the others sighed with relief, thinking that breaking the rival's legs and then settling with money seemed advantageous for them.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Wutian rejected Hu Tao's proposal.
