Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, the conversation focused on what Yuan Junye intended to do with the Yuan family.
Upon returning to the capital, Yuan Junye needed an identity, and the Yuan family was his best shield. Although he wasn’t very interested in the Yuan family itself, that didn’t mean he would let the Yuan family members bully him.
“I’ll stay for a while longer. Although the Yuan family isn’t as complex as your big families, it’s not easy to uproot its foundation,” Yuan Junye earnestly looked at Mu Chengxi, having no reason to hide anything from him.
After hearing Yuan Junye’s words, Mu Chengxi looked at Mu Chengxu, nodded thoughtfully, and surprisingly promised Yuan Junye, “If you need my help, just ask.”
This simple promise surprised Yuan Junye, knowing that Master Xi usually didn’t involve himself in Beijing affairs. The fact that Mu Chengxi was willing to help was a great honor.
“Then, I’ll thank Master Xi in advance!”
Yuan Junye wasn’t the type to be aloof; he understood the importance of strong support, so he happily accepted.
Wen Xin was interested in the racetrack Yuan Junye mentioned in the western suburbs, eager to give it a try.
However, Mu Chengxu wasn’t fond of car racing, and Mu Chengxi wasn’t very interested either, so Wen Xin ended up accompanying Mu Chengxu shopping in the mall.
Mu Chengxu told Mu Chengxi and Yuan Junye not to follow them, so they were left to sit in a café while the two ladies shopped.
In the luxury goods store, Mu Chengxu’s mood brightened as she looked at the beautiful new bags on display. She held Wen Xin’s hand and excitedly walked into the store.
Mu Chengxu was straightforward. Her likes and dislikes were often evident from her expressions. Wen Xin leaned against the counter, pointing at the latest bag on the shelf.
“Sis, do you like that one? I can buy it for you…”
“I’ll browse around; you wait here for a while…”
Mu Chengxu had brought Wen Xin, intending to buy her a backpack. She always felt Wen Xin’s backpack was too simple and believed a girl should use the best.
Wen Xin might not accept it if she asked her, so she wanted to buy it behind her back. Once she paid for it, Wen Xin wouldn’t refuse.
Upon hearing Wen Xin’s generous tone and seeing her simple attire—a white shirt and faded jeans—a wealthy woman behind them mockingly laughed.
“Miss, this is a luxury store, not a vegetable market. If you have money, I suggest buying some nice clothes to improve your taste!”
Hearing the mocking voice, Wen Xin turned her head and lazily glanced at the lady, then she ignored her and directed the attendant beside her, “Please pack that khaki diamond-studded handbag.”
When she entered, Wen Xin noticed the handbag and thought it would suit Wei Manqing well.
The wealthy woman, adorned with jewelry, glanced at the handbag Wen Xin indicated. She immediately took a liking to it herself and quickly approached the sales clerk.
“I’ll take that bag. She’s too poor to afford it! You should kick her out!”
The wealthy woman arrogantly stared at Wen Xin, feeling embarrassed to be standing next to someone dressed so plainly, even believing the surrounding air smelled of poverty.
Wen Xin was already in a bad mood, and this unwelcome trouble was beyond her tolerance. Besides, she wasn’t someone with a good temper to begin with.
Standing straight, Wen Xin coldly stared at the wealthy woman, raising her eyebrows, “You want to kick me out? Let’s see if you have the ability.”
Hearing the commotion, Mu Chengxu rushed over. Upon arriving, she saw a well-dressed woman talking down to Wen Xin. When she recognized the wealthy woman, she was surprised. “Second Aunt, is that you?”
Previously, Mu Chengxu had only seen her second aunt being submissive in front of her grandmother. This luxurious and commanding appearance was a first.
“Oh, it’s Chengxu. When did you come back? I didn’t expect to meet you here. We haven’t had a chance to visit the old house; I was afraid the old lady wouldn’t be pleased, so we didn’t know you had returned.”
Second Aunt greeted Mu Chengxu with fake politeness, her face full of smiles, but her eyes were cold, and her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
After the fake greeting, she glanced at Wen Xin and coldly snorted, “Look, this is a real lady. You should leave quickly so you’re not thrown out, which would be embarrassing.”
“Is that so?” Now that she knew the wealthy woman’s identity, Wen Xin’s smile became colder.
She noticed Mu Chengxu wanted to say something, but she didn’t plan on revealing her identity to this wealthy woman. Before Mu Chengxu could speak, Wen Xin spoke.
“Sandy, please call security to have this lady removed and put her on our store’s blacklist, so she can’t shop here again.”
“Yes, boss, I’ll handle it right away.”
Seeing the staff so cooperative with Wen Xin, the wealthy woman was stunned, unable to believe that Wen Xin was the store’s owner.
“You’re the owner? How is that possible? You look so poor… How could you be the owner? I don’t believe it; I don’t accept it…” The wealthy woman looked at Wen Xin, unable to accept the reality. How could a luxury store owner dress so plainly?
“Madam, all our boss’s clothes are high couture from Hualuo. You may not know quality, but don’t degrade our boss!”
After calling security, Sandy returned to Wen Xin’s side, speaking politely but firmly.
This soft but powerful slap hurts the most.
Soon, security arrived. The wealthy woman couldn’t believe this embarrassing situation was happening to her. She wanted to resist, but Mu Chengxu coldly said.
“Second Aunt, this is already embarrassing enough. Don’t make it worse. If Grandma hears about this, it won’t be a small matter. This concerns the Mu family’s reputation.”
