Yu Manxi originally didn’t 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 couldn’t vent her anger, where would she put her face?

Unexpectedly, she added, “You asked for it. How could I not satisfy you?”

“Yunong, calm down. Miss Yu, please restrain yourself too…” Manager Sister Ling also had a headache.

“How can I calm down? She’s already bullied me. Are all of you dead? How can you just stand there after seeing me getting hit?” Xia Yunong was furious.

“I don’t pay you just so you can stand there and pretend to be dead.

“A bunch of trash!”

The assistants were also in a difficult position. They were odd-job workers, not bodyguards. Did she want them to rush up and ‘gang up’ on Yu Manxi?

“What are you still looking at? Get me a lawyer and call the police. I want my injuries examined!” Xia Yunong was so angry that her body was trembling. “Yu Manxi, I’m warning you. I won’t let this matter rest like this.”

Yu Manxi sneered. “I showed consideration for you just now because you’re Ning Fan’s ex-girlfriend. I gave him some face and didn’t want to bother with you…”

The word ex-girlfriend was more ruthless than stabbing her with a knife.

“If you want to blow things up, try it. There are people outside now. Go out with me right now.

“Didn’t you say that I’m a mistress? If you feel wronged, let everyone judge and redress your grievances.

“You 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? I’m just a small-time host. Everyone should be more interested in your gossip. If you have the ability, just rush out and say it.

“Let’s see how you can get away unscathed.”

Yu Manxi was indeed good at pinching people’s sore spots. Xia Yunong didn’t 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 Fan’s protection, she couldn’t 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.

“You have no evidence. It’s just your own conjecture. You even deliberately came to find fault with me. Do you really think that you can act rashly just because you’re popular?

“If you can prove that Ning Fan and I did have an affair, you’re welcome to slap my face.”

Xia Yunong was exasperated. If she had evidence, she would have revealed it long ago and let her ‘die without a grave’. Why would she have to come here personally?

…

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 other’s 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.

“Everyone is here to shop. There must be some misunderstanding. Miss Yu, don’t you want to see the jade pendants? Come with me.”

These two groups of people definitely couldn’t stay in the same room. When the manager saw that there were only two people on Yu Manxi’s side, he felt that it would be easier to talk to them, so he wanted to ask them to move elsewhere.

“Okay.” After all, this was someone else’s store. Yu Manxi was unwilling to continue to bother with her and gave the manager face.

Xia Yunong was furious, and she couldn’t swallow her anger. She had brought a group of people here specially to find trouble. She didn’t gain any advantage at all but was instead slapped on the face?

“Wait. I wanted to buy these jade pendants. Why are you giving them to her?”

“Miss Yu took a liking to them first. Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis.” The store assistant who had received her just now also felt that Xia Yunong was being too unreasonable, so she told the truth. “If she doesn’t like them, it won’t be too late for you to choose.”

“You mean that as your store’s VIP customer, I can only choose what others have left?” Xia Yunong sneered and twisted the truth.

“Miss 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 can’t take them from her.”

“Do you mean that after paying so much money, I still have to be bullied by an ordinary customer in your store?”

The manager tried to explain to her, but he knew that Xia Yunong was deliberately finding fault today. It wasn’t about the jade pendants at all. “Actually, our store has many jade pendants of similar design. How about I recommend a few more suitable for you.”

“I like these. She didn’t pay yet. I’ll pay first. Can’t I take them?”

“You…” The manager was helpless. Aren’t you being shameless?

“What’s the matter? Your Jade Hall of Spring is popular now, so you’re bullying your customers?” The Jade Hall of Spring’s popularity had to be traced back to when Song Fengwan’s 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 manager’s face turn pale, Yu Manxi didn’t want him to be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. Just as she was about to speak, Song Fengwan stopped her.

“Miss Xia, right? You’re a public figure after all. It’s not good to take things by force.”

“Who do you think you are? It’s not your turn to speak.” Xia Yunong snorted. How dare this brat criticize me?

“Wanwan…” This matter was an undeserved and unexpected calamity to Yu Manxi, and she didn’t want to involve Song Fengwan.

“From the moment you came in, you’ve been bossy and shouting. You have no manners at all.

“You’ve willfully insulted and slandered others. If you’re depressed and anxious because you’ve broken up with your boyfriend, go find a psychiatrist.

“Don’t embarrass yourself here. You’re asking for it.”

Xia Yunong was furious. “You wretched girl, when did it become your turn to teach me a lesson?”

“This is my family’s store. You came here to shame my customer, but I didn’t get someone to throw you out directly. I’ve already given you enough face.”

Your family’s 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 hadn’t 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 master’s. Considering her age, he naturally knew who she was.

“Your family’s store… Little girl, you…” Xia Yunong was dumbfounded. She must be spouting nonsense to try to intimidate me.

“Are you the cousin from the Song family?” the manager asked tentatively.

Song Fengwan didn’t deny it.

“If 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.

“But there are surveillance cameras in the room. You rushed in, shouted at us, and acted arrogantly…

“Your face was so hideous. I believe the netizens will give us justice when the surveillance footage is brought out.”

Xia Yunong saw that she still had childish features and thought that she was just a child. She didn’t expect her tone to be so aggressive and domineering.

“If you’re unwilling to leave, I’ll get someone to throw you out. My bodyguard isn’t someone who has tender feelings for the fairer sex. You’re also a public figure. You don’t want to make things look so ugly, right?” Song Fengwan chuckled.

“If you’re really here to shop, we’ll naturally receive you properly. But this isn’t a place where you can do whatever you want.

“You’re full of vulgarities. You’re simply dirtying my family’s place.”

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 family’s stores, so it wasn’t too much for Song Fengwan to say that it was her own family’s store.

“If you don’t 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. I’m afraid I’ll have to get my injuries examined too.” Song Fengwan rubbed her arm.

“Yunong, let’s hurry up and leave.” When Sister Ling saw this situation, what else could she say? The owner of the Jade Hall of Spring is here. She’s 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.

“Miss Song, who do you want me to throw out?” Qian Jiang had been guarding outside the store the whole time, keeping a distance from Song Fengwan. It wasn’t 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?

“You… your store can bully people like this?”

Song Fengwan smiled. “I’m bullying you. So what? So what if our store doesn’t welcome you? Who doesn’t know how to bully others with their power?”

“It’s her?” Qian Jiang pointed at Xia Yunong and was ready to take action.

“Let’s go quickly!” Sister Ling covered Xia Yunong’s 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. “Miss, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

“I’m just accompanying Big Sister here to choose something.”

“Do you need anything specific? I can recommend…”

Yu Manxi didn’t 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 hadn’t treated her well, and also on account of Song Fengwan, so he gave her a discount when she bought the two jade pendants.

“Wanwan, I’m really sorry about what happened today. I asked you out to help, but you even received a shock.” Yu Manxi was really apologetic. “If you’re free tonight, I’ll treat you to a meal at home. I’ll cook something delicious for you and personally send you back to school later.”

“Okay,” 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.

“I have my own car. Why did you pick me up?” Fu Sinian asked.

Fu Chen rubbed the prayer beads in his hand. “Did you know that something happened to Wanwan and Miss Yu today?”

“Huh?”

“Someone found trouble with Miss Yu and involved Wanwan. You have to guard your girlfriend well.” Fu Chen briefly explained what had happened. “I think that woman isn’t easy to deal with, and she might go after Miss Yu again. Be careful.”

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. “I heard that Miss Yu is cooking tonight? Is she very good at cooking?

“It doesn’t match her looks. I didn’t expect her to be such a virtuous person.” Fu Chen’s words were slightly teasing.

Fu Sinian turned his head to look at him. “Song…”

Just as he was about to say Song Fengwan’s name, he swallowed it back down. “Little Aunt doesn’t know how to cook?” His tone was cold and stiff as he said this form of address reluctantly.

Fu Chen coughed. “She’s still a student. Her studies are more important.”

“I saw the scarf she knitted for you last year. You treat it like a treasure. She studies art, but I didn’t expect her handicrafts…”

Shi Fang was driving, and his palms were sweaty.

Eldest Young Master rarely fought with Third Master in the past. He’s indeed different now that he has a wife.

In order to protect his wife, he dared to ridicule that his future aunt’s hands were clumsy?

Fu Chen chuckled. Brat, just you wait.

Song Fengwan was currently in Yu Manxi’s condo, watching her cook. “If you want to learn, you can give it a try. I’ll teach you.”

“No need. My hands are clumsy,” Song Fengwan said softly.

“Huh?” Yu Manxi clearly didn’t 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?

“Don’t tell anyone.” She felt embarrassed too.

Yu Manxi nodded with a smile.

What Song Fengwan didn’t know at all was that everyone in Fu Chen’s circle of friends knew that her hands were clumsy.
