Chapter 355: Why go smashing up a store

Chapter 355

ZhiXia thought that if she didn't get involved, it would have nothing to do with her, but she overlooked the greed and foolishness of human nature.

On Chenye and Wanqing's birthday, Pei Jing went out of town and was unable to rush back, but he made a special call on this day.

Girls grow up faster, and the eleven-year-old Wanqing was already taller than Chenye.

The two little ones shared a face, fortunately they didn't have to rely on their hair to recognize them.

ZhiXia made them a cake with her own hands, and also invited several good friends to help them celebrate their birthday.

In the years of material scarcity, many people had never eaten cake, especially children, who were very fond of the layer of cream on top.

Fortunately, the amount was large enough, and the dishes were also plentiful, otherwise it really wouldn't be enough for them to eat.

Xiao Liang from the store rushed over, "Sister An, something happened in the store..."

Chenye stood up reflexively, ZhiXia pulled his arm to signal him to sit still and not move, and let Mrs. Zhang continue the celebration with them, before following Xiao Liang out the door.

On the way, ZhiXia asked her, "What's going on?"

"There's a woman who says she's your niece, taking things without paying, and we don't know her either, so of course we can't just let her take the things away based on just that one sentence, and she also brought quite a few people with her, seven or eight of them selected a lot of things. Sister Xu didn't let her take them, so they cursed and swore, and even hit Sister Xu," Xiao Liang said.

Xu Jiamei was the manager ZhiXia had hired for the Qiao Yan store, and Xiao Liang was a sales guide.

After she gave a rough account of what had happened, ZhiXia raised her eyebrows.

Her brother's children were still young, so she could rule out that possibility. Pei Xiang was now their spokesperson in the store, with posters of her hanging on the walls, and she was also very familiar with the staff.

And they had signed a contract with the Cultural Troupe in the first place, with the Troupe responsible for publicity and the store supplying all the skin care products needed by the members of the Troupe, so there was even less chance of any disputes arising.

Could it be Pei Shuangshuang?

She wasn't very familiar with her, and hadn't seen her show up for New Year's and festivals over the years either, surely she wouldn't be so shameless?

"Mom... you'll save me, I've caused trouble..."

Pei Shuangshuang had red eyes and still smelled of alcohol. She ran panic-stricken through the hospital corridor.

Noticing how others were looking at her, Wang Yue hurried over and pulled her aside, "Pei Shuangshuang, look at yourself, what do you look like? You're a girl, drinking in broad daylight again?"

Ever since she was little, Pei Shuangshuang had loved An ZhiXian, and had long fantasized about marrying him. But An ZhiXia had married Pei Jing instead, dashing her hopes.

Over the years she had been restraining herself, but the more she restrained, the more her heart seemed to stir.

She wasn't young anymore, and girls around her age were already married and mothers. She was also anxious, but she really couldn't forget about him.

When her eyes opened or closed, all she could see was his figure, his voice and smile.

She had finally plucked up the courage, only to have it completely shattered by her father's admonitions and warnings.

Sometimes she would think, oh well, let it be.

Since she couldn't marry him, life seemed meaningless anyway, so she started self-destructing.

This was also why Wang Yue blamed her for drinking again, because it wasn't the first time.

"Mom, stop blaming me for now, what do I do if I'm in trouble?"

"What kind of trouble did you get into?"

Only from Pei Shuangshuang's description did Wang Yue realize what nonsense Pei Shuangshuang had done. Furious, she reached out and grabbed her ear, "You idiot, do you lack the money to buy face cream? And what's more, you're a junior, if you really wanted it you could have just asked her straight out. She's an elder, would she have the audacity to refuse? Now look what you've done, wrecking their store and all. What do you think they can do now? Does An ZhiXia have no one to stand up for her? Have you forgotten your uncle's temper?"

"What's the point of saying all this now? Hurry up and think of something for me!" Pei Shuangshuang cried in dismay, "Mom, they won't report me to the police and arrest me, will they?"

"No, you're also surnamed Pei after all. At worst it would be considered a family dispute, and they can't afford to lose face," Wang Yue stated definitively. But she had forgotten that when she herself made trouble in the past, Old Pei was still alive then.

Old Pei had passed away many years ago, and no one was obliged to indulge her and her daughter anymore.

However, thinking of this, Wang Yue suddenly remembered to ask her, "Shuangshuang, everything was good, so why did you go and wreck their store?"
