Chu Ting wanted to run and leave Flair Apparel, but her feet refused to move. Even Yao Zhelan didn’t dare to say anything at that moment. Lu Xinyi only had to say a few words, and the demon king would come rushing to aid her?

Beside Yao Zhelan, Chu Ting was trying to figure out how to escape from this mess she started. She was now regretting slapping Lu Xinyi. Was it too late to run away?

No! She would never accept defeat that easily! Chu Ting pulled out her phone and called her father. She knew her father was doing a mandatory inspection of their restaurant that was also located at Cloud Mall. He would be there to save her before the demon king arrives.

“Daddy, I need help. Can you please pick me up?” she said pitifully. Those who’d heard her couldn’t help but be stupefied by her actions. Gone was her arrogant attitude, replaced by the sobbing of her grievances to her father. Was she not the one who started insulting Flair Apparel as soon as she stepped inside? Not only that, but they’d seen how Chu Ting lifted a hand to hit Shen Yuyan’s face.

“Where are you?” A gruff, masculine voice could be heard to the other line.

“Here at Flair Apparel store.”

“Got it. Wait for me. I’ll be on my way.”

Thanking her father, Chu Ting hung up the phone before throwing a smug look on Lu Xinyi’s way.

Meanwhile, the other woman involved was now regretting accepting Chu Ting’s invitation to go shopping together. This was ridiculous! Yao Zhelan thought. She certainly didn’t want to get on Shen Yi’s bad side. This was all Chu Ting’s fault!

“Miss Lu, this isn’t necessary. We didn’t come here to cause you troubles.” Yao Zhelan didn’t want to be thrown to the bad limelight especially if Shen Yi was involved. In the end, he could have the final say on it.

Shen Yi was a person with both power and authority. It was rumored even the result of the elections could be influenced by the Shens and the Lis. Although he was a business tycoon, he was powerful enough to play the city with his hand. He could definitely end her and Chu Ting’s career in a snap of his fingers.

Lu Xinyi ignored her and rubbed the sore spot on her cheek. She didn’t want to waste her words on these women anymore.

“What’s happening here?” Xia Yuhan entered the store with a frown. Her eyes spotted Chu Ting and Yao Zhelan to her right while Lu Xinyi was standing near the entrance with a red mark on her cheeks. She could roughly guess what happened.

Her boss had a very sharp tongue that could trigger any bitch who dared to obstruct her way. Lu Xinyi must have said something for her to get hurt like this.

Seeing Xia Yuhan arrived, the manager rushed to her side and explained what happened.

“Miss Xia, I tried to convince Miss Lu to apologize. I think both sides are at fault here, but I believe Miss Lu also crossed the line by insulting Miss Chu repeatedly.” Her voice was low, but Lu Xinyi could hear her clearly.

Xia Yuhan groaned and glanced on her boss’ way, seeing her no-nonsense stance on the issue. Why did Lu Xinyi always attract trouble her way?

“Lu Xinyi, can’t you control your smart mouth? I swear it will cause us more problems in the future. Even if you are right, you should make an effort to not make any conflict in front of our customers.”

Ah, how frustrating was this? Lu Xinyi was her boss, but why was she acting like a snobby employee? ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

“Miss Chu, Miss Yao. I’m sorry for Lu Xinyi’s actions.” Xia Yuhan gave each woman a bow before giving Lu Xinyi a glare.

“Right, Miss Xia. We shouldn’t remind her how to do her job properly. In my opinion, we should cancel our partnership with Lu Xinyi. Who knows what kind of problems she’ll bring us in the future,” the manager commented beside Xia Yuhan. “Not only she insulted Miss Chu, but she also dragged President Shen in the issue.”

The manager weighed which side should she side on. Lu Xinyi… was she not just President Shen’s girlfriend? In fact, who knew if their relationship was really true or just a farce to clear Shen Yi’s name from the rumors of him being gay?

While Lu Xinyi might be a Sun heiress, her influence on the public couldn’t be compared to Chu Ting and Yao Zhelan. It would be easy for them to tarnish Flair Apparel’s name.

“Lu Xinyi, you think you could threaten me using President Shen? Ha! Are you forgetting that I’m still a Chu?” Chu Ting spat out. With her father around, who would dare to bully her?

Lu Xinyi rolled her eyes. Oh, so one’s family name was really an important status symbol in this society. However, who cared if Chu Ting was from the Chu family? Compared to her status as the Young Madam of the Shens, being a Chu was nothing.

“Who cares? Nice acting though. You’re so good I want to nominate you for Oscar’s.” Lu Xinyi had decided after today that Chu Ting would never dare to cross the same path as her. Really, some people need to learn hard not to be stupid.

Five minutes later, a group of men arrived and entered Flair Apparel. All of them were wearing black and gray business suits. Leading them was a man in his fifties.

“Ting’er, what’s going on here?” he asked. His face scrunched as he looked around. He knew that his daughter was a brat and likes to cause trouble to anyone. Most of the time, Chu Ting managed to escape from the consequences of her actions by using her family name to intimidate the other party.

However, today was different. His daughter called him to seek his help. He wondered what kind of person did his daughter tried to bully and was able to turn the table against her.

As if on cue, Chu Ting ran towards him and sobbed.

“Wooooo… Daddy, you have to help me. Lu Xinyi is trying to bully me using President Shen.” She wailed louder, not caring if her pretty face was stained with tears.

Chu Zhihao was taken aback. Lu Xinyi did what?

He lifted his eyes, and it fell to Lu Xinyi. The domineering aura and presence of the woman surprised her. She tilted her head on one side, studying the expression on his face. Her eyes were brilliantly intelligent, sharp, and assessing.

“Mr. Chu, welcome to Flair Apparel. Why don’t you follow me inside and have a cup of tea? President Shen would be here soon,” Lu Xinyi said. She could barely able to keep her amusement from her voice.

The old man was a little startled. He wasn’t supposed to be afraid of a woman like Lu Xinyi, and yet his mind was sending alarms that he should be wary of this woman.

“What are you waiting for? Didn’t you hear what Lu Xinyi said?” Xia Yuhan nudged the store manager. “Quick! Set up the receiving room for our visitors.”

The manager left with bewilderment written all over her face. She couldn’t understand why Xia Yuhan would rather listen to Lu Xinyi than to appease Chu Ting’s demands.
