Chapter 921 - Apologize
From Sidekick to Bigshot
The security guard glanced at the woman who was dressed stylishly.
From the womanâs outfit, the security guard knew that she came from a strong background. Just the jewelry that she was wearing was already worth a few million dollars.
And thus, the security guards could not afford to mess with this woman.
âLady, if you accidentally stepped on this girlâs foot, you should probably apologize to her,â the security guard politely said.
âJust because they said so? Well, I can say that the girl slipped her foot under my high heels. As a result, she was the one who almost made me trip,â the woman replied arrogantly.
âHow⦠How can you say that? Youâre inverting right from wrong!â Hu Jiaojiao exclaimed angrily.
âYou should be apologizing for your actions!â Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother also exclaimed.
The expressions and actions of Hu Jiaojiao and her mother were incredibly similar.
âTch, ground beetles,â the woman mocked contemptuously.
âWho are you calling a ground beetle?!â Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother asked angrily.
âIâm calling you a ground beetle,â the woman said as she sized up Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother. âEven though what youâre wearing is expensive, youâre just piling expensive things together. Youâre definitely a parvenu.â
âWhatâs wrong with being a parvenu? Iâm not stealing or something!â Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother replied.
Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother never denied her status as a parvenu. After all, they did make their fortune from demolition and real estate.
âYeah, you donât steal anything. However, you donât know what manners are. Instead, you continuously spoke through the launch event. Youâre like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time.â
The womanâs words made Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother incredibly angry.
âYou⦠Howâ¦â
Hu Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled her mother back: âMother. Calm down, calm down. Donât make a move. We will be at fault if you make a move.â
When the security guards saw the situation in front of them, they did not know what to do either.
And thus, through the intercom, they asked their manager to come and handle the situation.
Before their manager arrived, the womanâs husband came.
He was a man in his thirties who wore a suit.
It was the typical dress code of an upper-class businessman in Beijing.
âHoney, whatâs wrong? Iâve been waiting for you in the parking lot,â the man said to the woman.
âI was delayed by three flies.â
The womanâs words made the man pay attention to the three people in front of him.
Hu Jiaojiao angrily said: âWho are you calling flies? You intentionally did this!â
The manâs eyes swept over Jian Yiling, Hu Jiaojiao, and Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother before he turned around to speak to his wife: âWhy would you argue with these people?â
âYou think that I want to waste time on them? Theyâre the ones who are arguing with me. Now, theyâre stopping me from leaving.â
âAhh, forget it. Ignore them. Letâs go and eat. I made a reservation.â
After he said this, the man was about to leave with the woman.
However, Jian Yiling stepped forward and blocked their way: âApologize.â
The woman sneered before she said: âSee? Theyâre not letting me go.â
Upon seeing this, the manâs face darkened: âWhat do you want? Do you want compensation?â
Then, the man took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed it to Jian Yiling: âIs this enough money to compensate for the shoes youâre wearing?â
Jian Yiling did not even look at the money handed over by the man.
Hu Jiaojiao also rushed forward and said: âWe donât want your money! We want you to apologize!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIn your dreams!â the woman said as she rolled her eyes at Jian Yiling, Hu Jiaojiao, and Hu Jiaojiaoâs mother.
âDo you know who youâre messing with?â the man said as he began to become impatient.
At this moment, the manager rushed over. Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary dispute so he was not in a hurry.
