Yu Manxi originally didnât want to bother with her. It was fine if she pulled her, but she even touched Song Fengwan. This was inexcusable.
She had invited Song Fengwan out to ask for her help. How could she let her suffer for no reason?
Xia Yunong was furious from the slap on her face. Her manager and assistants were all here, and there were even outsiders. If she couldnât vent her anger, where would she put her face?
Unexpectedly, she added, âYou asked for it. How could I not satisfy you?â
âYunong, calm down. Miss Yu, please restrain yourself tooâ¦â Manager Sister Ling also had a headache.
âHow can I calm down? Sheâs already bullied me. Are all of you dead? How can you just stand there after seeing me getting hit?â Xia Yunong was furious.
âI donât pay you just so you can stand there and pretend to be dead.
âA bunch of trash!â
The assistants were also in a difficult position. They were odd-job workers, not bodyguards. Did she want them to rush up and âgang upâ on Yu Manxi?
âWhat are you still looking at? Get me a lawyer and call the police. I want my injuries examined!â Xia Yunong was so angry that her body was trembling. âYu Manxi, Iâm warning you. I wonât let this matter rest like this.â
Yu Manxi sneered. âI showed consideration for you just now because youâre Ning Fanâs ex-girlfriend. I gave him some face and didnât want to bother with youâ¦â
The word ex-girlfriend was more ruthless than stabbing her with a knife.
âIf you want to blow things up, try it. There are people outside now. Go out with me right now.
âDidnât you say that Iâm a mistress? If you feel wronged, let everyone judge and redress your grievances.
âYou and I both know how you managed to get to your current position. With your lousy skills and relying on a man to climb up, how clean can you be? Iâm just a small-time host. Everyone should be more interested in your gossip. If you have the ability, just rush out and say it.
âLetâs see how you can get away unscathed.â
Yu Manxi was indeed good at pinching peopleâs sore spots. Xia Yunong didnât dare to do it at all.
This would be equivalent to telling others that she had used the unspoken rules to climb up. Moreover, without Ning Fanâs protection, she couldnât even maintain her current position.
Just now, she was still arrogant and domineering. But now, she was dumbfounded. She held her breath in her chest and almost vomited to death.
âYou have no evidence. Itâs just your own conjecture. You even deliberately came to find fault with me. Do you really think that you can act rashly just because youâre popular?
âIf you can prove that Ning Fan and I did have an affair, youâre welcome to slap my face.â
Xia Yunong was exasperated. If she had evidence, she would have revealed it long ago and let her âdie without a graveâ. Why would she have to come here personally?
â¦
At this moment, the manager and the store assistant who had retrieved the jade pendants rushed over. Seeing that the two parties were at each otherâs throats and were both public figures, they were also in a difficult position. They could only mediate between them and let the two parties calm down.
âEveryone is here to shop. There must be some misunderstanding. Miss Yu, donât you want to see the jade pendants? Come with me.â
These two groups of people definitely couldnât stay in the same room. When the manager saw that there were only two people on Yu Manxiâs side, he felt that it would be easier to talk to them, so he wanted to ask them to move elsewhere.
âOkay.â After all, this was someone elseâs store. Yu Manxi was unwilling to continue to bother with her and gave the manager face.
Xia Yunong was furious, and she couldnât swallow her anger. She had brought a group of people here specially to find trouble. She didnât gain any advantage at all but was instead slapped on the face?
âWait. I wanted to buy these jade pendants. Why are you giving them to her?â
âMiss Yu took a liking to them first. Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis.â The store assistant who had received her just now also felt that Xia Yunong was being too unreasonable, so she told the truth. âIf she doesnât like them, it wonât be too late for you to choose.â
âYou mean that as your storeâs VIP customer, I can only choose what others have left?â Xia Yunong sneered and twisted the truth.
âMiss Xia, VIP customers do have preferential rights and can also enjoy our special treatment. But these jade pendants were chosen by Miss Yu first, so we canât take them from her.â
âDo you mean that after paying so much money, I still have to be bullied by an ordinary customer in your store?â
The manager tried to explain to her, but he knew that Xia Yunong was deliberately finding fault today. It wasnât about the jade pendants at all. âActually, our store has many jade pendants of similar design. How about I recommend a few more suitable for you.â
âI like these. She didnât pay yet. Iâll pay first. Canât I take them?â
âYouâ¦â The manager was helpless.?Arenât you being shameless?
âWhatâs the matter? Your Jade Hall of Spring is popular now, so youâre bullying your customers?â The Jade Hall of Springâs popularity had to be traced back to when Song Fengwanâs father, Song Jingren, had deliberately found people to complain about fake goods. Afterward, business was good.
Many celebrities followed the trend of wearing jade bracelets and accessories and bought goods.
When the manager heard this, he was flabbergasted.?How did this involve the store bullying customers?
Seeing the managerâs face turn pale, Yu Manxi didnât want him to be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. Just as she was about to speak, Song Fengwan stopped her.
âMiss Xia, right? Youâre a public figure after all. Itâs not good to take things by force.â
âWho do you think you are? Itâs not your turn to speak.â Xia Yunong snorted.?How dare this brat criticize me?
âWanwanâ¦â This matter was an undeserved and unexpected calamity to Yu Manxi, and she didnât want to involve Song Fengwan.
âFrom the moment you came in, youâve been bossy and shouting. You have no manners at all.
âYouâve willfully insulted and slandered others. If youâre depressed and anxious because youâve broken up with your boyfriend, go find a psychiatrist.
âDonât embarrass yourself here. Youâre asking for it.â
Xia Yunong was furious. âYou wretched girl, when did it become your turn to teach me a lesson?â
âThis is my familyâs store. You came here to shame my customer, but I didnât get someone to throw you out directly. Iâve already given you enough face.â
Your familyâs store?
These simple words stunned everyone present. Yu Manxi had heard that her family lived in Nanjiang and worked in the jewelry and jade industry, but she hadnât thought much about it. Moreover, Song Fengwan had never mentioned it to her either.
The manager looked at her in surprise. Only when his gaze landed on her phoenix eyes did he suddenly realize something.
Almost everyone in the Qiao family had inherited a pair of phoenix eyes. They were sharp, charming, and very intimidating. On closer look, he saw that her eyes were exactly the same as the young masterâs. Considering her age, he naturally knew who she was.
âYour familyâs store⦠Little girl, youâ¦â Xia Yunong was dumbfounded.?She must be spouting nonsense to try to intimidate me.
âAre you the cousin from the Song family?â the manager asked tentatively.
Song Fengwan didnât deny it.
âIf you want to complain about the Jade Hall of Spring bullying customers, feel free to look for the Industry and Commerce Department. Or just go online. You have so many fans, so someone will definitely help you complain.
âBut there are surveillance cameras in the room. You rushed in, shouted at us, and acted arrogantlyâ¦
âYour face was so hideous. I believe the netizens will give us justice when the surveillance footage is brought out.â
Xia Yunong saw that she still had childish features and thought that she was just a child. She didnât expect her tone to be so aggressive and domineering.
âIf youâre unwilling to leave, Iâll get someone to throw you out. My bodyguard isnât someone who has tender feelings for the fairer sex. Youâre also a public figure. You donât want to make things look so ugly, right?â Song Fengwan chuckled.
âIf youâre really here to shop, weâll naturally receive you properly. But this isnât a place where you can do whatever you want.
âYouâre full of vulgarities. Youâre simply dirtying my familyâs place.â
With the surveillance footage in hand, Song Fengwan was naturally not afraid of her.
Xia Yunong was so angry that her heart hurt.
Seeing this, the few store assistants at the side felt relieved.
She really deserved it. She had come to bully someone but ended up kicking an iron plate. In the end, one of them was even a close blood relative of the owner. Qiao Aiyun managed many of the Qiao familyâs stores, so it wasnât too much for Song Fengwan to say that it was her own familyâs store.
âIf you donât leave, do you want to wait for me to call the police and sue you for intentional harm? You pulled me just now, and my arm still hurts. Iâm afraid Iâll have to get my injuries examined too.â Song Fengwan rubbed her arm.
âYunong, letâs hurry up and leave.â When Sister Ling saw this situation, what else could she say??The owner of the Jade Hall of Spring is here. Sheâs already being very polite by letting you go after you bullied her in her territory.
When Xia Yunong saw Yu Manxi standing at the side leisurely and content, she was furious. Her face was still aching from the slap. No matter how her manager and assistants pulled her, she refused to leave.
Song Fengwan took out her phone and sent a message to Qian Jiang, who was outside.
Ten seconds later, a burly man in black and wearing sunglasses appeared at the door of the VIP room.
âMiss Song, who do you want me to throw out?â Qian Jiang had been guarding outside the store the whole time, keeping a distance from Song Fengwan. It wasnât as exaggerated as guarding her closely.
Qian Jiang was exuding a vicious aura and chill that kept people away. He was tall and burly to begin with, and his voice was deep and cold. His appearance was extremely terrifying.
He was full of arrogance and looked very imposing.
Xia Yunong was dumbfounded. She thought that Song Fengwan was just trying to scare her. Who would have expected that she really had a bodyguard?
âYou⦠your store can bully people like this?â
Song Fengwan smiled. âIâm bullying you. So what? So what if our store doesnât welcome you? Who doesnât know how to bully others with their power?â
âItâs her?â Qian Jiang pointed at Xia Yunong and was ready to take action.
âLetâs go quickly!â Sister Ling covered Xia Yunongâs head with the hat in her hand and hurriedly pulled her away.
If she was really chased out, and others saw it and posted it online, she would be utterly embarrassed.
Xia Yunong walked out reluctantly, her body trembling in anger.
Seeing that she had finally left, the manager felt relieved. âMiss, why didnât you tell me you were coming?â
âIâm just accompanying Big Sister here to choose something.â
âDo you need anything specific? I can recommendâ¦â
Yu Manxi didnât expect Song Fengwan to have a relationship with the Jade Hall of Spring. Perhaps because Xia Yunong had caused her trouble just now, the manager felt that he hadnât treated her well, and also on account of Song Fengwan, so he gave her a discount when she bought the two jade pendants.
âWanwan, Iâm really sorry about what happened today. I asked you out to help, but you even received a shock.â Yu Manxi was really apologetic. âIf youâre free tonight, Iâll treat you to a meal at home. Iâll cook something delicious for you and personally send you back to school later.â
âOkay,â Song Fengwan nodded.
The two of them went to the supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients. Song Fengwan was here, so Yu Manxi naturally called Fu Sinian and asked him to call Fu Chen. If he was free, they could eat together.
***
The Jing residence was on the route between Yunjin Prime Manor and the Software Garden. Fu Chen went to the Jing residence to pick Fu Sinian up before rushing to the Software Garden.
âI have my own car. Why did you pick me up?â Fu Sinian asked.
Fu Chen rubbed the prayer beads in his hand. âDid you know that something happened to Wanwan and Miss Yu today?â
âHuh?â
âSomeone found trouble with Miss Yu and involved Wanwan. You have to guard your girlfriend well.â Fu Chen briefly explained what had happened. âI think that woman isnât easy to deal with, and she might go after Miss Yu again. Be careful.â
Fu Sinian nodded.
Seeing his cold expression that looked as though he was about to eat people at any moment, Fu Chen changed the topic. âI heard that Miss Yu is cooking tonight? Is she very good at cooking?
âIt doesnât match her looks. I didnât expect her to be such a virtuous person.â Fu Chenâs words were slightly teasing.
Fu Sinian turned his head to look at him. âSongâ¦â
Just as he was about to say Song Fengwanâs name, he swallowed it back down. âLittle Aunt doesnât know how to cook?â His tone was cold and stiff as he said this form of address reluctantly.
Fu Chen coughed. âSheâs still a student. Her studies are more important.â
âI saw the scarf she knitted for you last year. You treat it like a treasure. She studies art, but I didnât expect her handicraftsâ¦â
Shi Fang was driving, and his palms were sweaty.
Eldest Young Master rarely fought with Third Master in the past. Heâs indeed different now that he has a wife.
In order to protect his wife, he dared to ridicule that his future auntâs hands were clumsy?
Fu Chen chuckled.?Brat, just you wait.
Song Fengwan was currently in Yu Manxiâs condo, watching her cook. âIf you want to learn, you can give it a try. Iâll teach you.â
âNo need. My hands are clumsy,â Song Fengwan said softly.
âHuh?â Yu Manxi clearly didnât believe her. Now that the two of them had become familiar with each other, she had a deeper understanding of Song Fengwan. She studied art, and her family was full of craftsmen. How could she have clumsy hands?
âDonât tell anyone.â She felt embarrassed too.
Yu Manxi nodded with a smile.
What Song Fengwan didnât know at all was that everyone in Fu Chenâs circle of friends knew that her hands were clumsy.
