Chapter 48

Just as Tang Feng was about to lose his temper,

Jiang Zi, who had been following behind, stepped forward with a cold face to confront the female clerk, “Please apologize to my friend immediately.”

The female clerk glanced at her disdainfully. “What did I say wrong? Why should I apologize? Every piece of clothing here is worth thousands. Can you afford it?”

Jiang Zi was infuriated by her attitude, “So this is how Givenchy treats its customers, is it? Go call your manager over.”

Because she was so angry, her voice was much louder.

The customers passing by curiously gathered around, but they only watched from the entrance without coming in.

Hearing Jiang Zi’s request for the manager, and with the crowd of onlookers outside growing, the female clerk started to feel nervous.

“Our manager has already clocked out. If you want to see her, come back tomorrow.” She made up an excuse, trying to brush them off.

Jiang Zi’s lips curved up slightly, “Do you really think we can’t do anything to you just because we can’t find your manager?”

With that, she pulled out her phone and aimed it at her, “Since you think you said nothing wrong and refuse to apologize, please repeat what you said to my friend earlier. I’ll record it and post it online for netizens to judge whether you were right.”

Seeing her recording a video, the female clerk immediately rushed out from behind the counter, “What are you doing? Dare to record and see what happens!”

While she spoke, she reached out to snatch Jiang Zi’s phone.

Tang Feng quickly intervened, “What? You dare to say those things, but you’re scared of being recorded? If you’re innocent, repeat what you said earlier in front of the camera.”

The female clerk tried several times, but Tang Feng blocked her each time. Eventually, she sat down on the ground and began wailing loudly.

“He hit me, a man actually bullying a woman, everyone come and judge this…”

By now, there were many onlookers at the door, blocking it completely.

However, because they were too far away, they didn’t see clearly how the woman fell down.

They only saw Tang Feng and the female clerk pushing each other, and then the clerk fell to the ground.

Many people thought Tang Feng had hit her.

“How can this man be like this? No matter what happened, you can’t hit a woman!”

“I came over just now; it seemed like this male customer was here to buy clothes and the female clerk looked down on him, verbally ridiculing him, which provoked him to react.”

“Even if the girl said a few words to him, he shouldn’t hit a woman. Can she take a punch from him?”

“Right, regardless of the facts, it’s wrong for a man to hit a woman.”

“It doesn’t seem like he hit her, right? I think I saw the girl sit down on the ground by herself.”

“Heh, if he didn’t hit her, would she deliberately fall down to scam him?”

“This man is really too much; everyone should stay away from this type of man…”

The female clerk continued to wail loudly while giving Tang Feng a smug smile.

No matter whether you’re in the right or not, with me sitting here, you’re subject to public condemnation.

Tang Feng was at a loss for words; if the other party had been a man, he could have just hit him.

But faced with this kind of woman, he was truly helpless.

He turned to Jiang Zi and called out, “Forget it, let’s go.”

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

But the female clerk had no intention of letting him off that easily. She grabbed his leg, “You think you can hit someone and just walk away? It’s not that easy!”

Tang Feng struggled a few times, but couldn’t break free.

He didn’t dare use too much force; otherwise, wouldn’t that be admitting to hitting a woman?

Jiang Zi was also at a loss.

She was usually in contact with highly educated people. Regardless of what scheming took place behind the scenes, at least they were outwardly polite.

This was her first time dealing with such an unreasonable woman and she really had no way to cope.

As they were at their wits’ end, a lazy male voice suddenly came from outside, “What’s all the ruckus inside? I could hear the noise from two floors away.”

Tang Feng recognized the voice as familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

At that moment, the crowd parted to create a path.

Then they saw a man in a white suit enter.

His blazer was unbuttoned, with both hands shoved in his trouser pockets, giving off a casual air.

Many in the crowd recognized him and began to talk amongst themselves in surprise.

“Isn’t that Mr. Rui? Why is he here?”

“Doesn’t he usually spend this time of day in nightclubs? Why would he come here today?”

“Where Mr. Rui appears, there’s always drama to see.”

“Such a troublemaker, definitely going to stir up a storm…”

The female clerk clearly recognized him too, quickly rising from the ground and greeting him respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Rui.”

Tang Feng also recognized the man.

It was the wealthy second-generation he and Lele had encountered yesterday at Wan Shi Pavilion.

The man saw him and was taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure, “What on earth is going on here?”

The female clerk immediately pointed at Tang Feng and complained before anyone else had the chance, “He harassed me the moment he entered the store, and after I said a few words to him, he started hitting me…”

Mr. Rui, with a smile, patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, “Right, you even dare to hit a woman? How brave of you!”

Tang Feng rolled his eyes in response, “I didn’t hit her, she’s slandering me…”

He then explained what had happened.

After listening to him, Mr. Rui turned to the female clerk, “Is what he said true?”

The female clerk quickly shook her head, “He’s lying. How could I, a woman, falsely accuse him in public? So many people are watching, it was he who hit me. Mr. Rui, you must stand up for me.”

Mr. Rui stared intently at her, “I want to hear the truth. If he really bullied you, I won’t let him off the hook. But if you’re lying and slandering, you should know what I’m capable of.”

Her gaze began to waver, but still, she stubbornly insisted, “Mr. Rui, I didn’t lie, I really didn’t lie.”

Mr. Rui smiled and nodded, “Fine, I believe you, I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Then, he turned to the other onlookers, “Did anyone take a video just now?”
