Chapter 26: This Place Was Not A Prison but the Same Conventions Were Present

The shop assistant’s little face immediately reddened and swelled up after the slap. However, she dared not utter a word and merely held back her tears while apologizing.

“Madam, I’m sorry but we were really just counting stock and closing the area. It will only last half an hour and it won’t affect you if you come back in a while. I had no intention of chasing you off!”

Mu Chenyan’s face remained cold as she furrowed her brows and looked at the bossy woman and the young shop assistant who was shedding tears and holding her face but was too afraid to pipe up.

She had only come in contact with socialites who were refinedly educated!

Her mother Yan Mei was born into a rich and influential family. In the Mu Family, they could neither make a sound when they were drinking soup nor could they walk in a manner that portrayed arrogance.

Thus, growing up, Mu Chenyan’s was publicly zealous but was never a show-off. She might be mischievous but never rude and arrogant; she had a cheery disposition and optimistic personality but never to the point she would abuse it and be an annoying troublemaker!

If it was not for the two years that she was unfairly imprisoned, she would never see and experience for herself the darkness and struggles of the lowest rung of society, nor would she have become the indifferent and withdrawn person that she was today…

In that ruthless place, they could simply raise their hands and strike others without caring whether they had sufficient reasons to do so!

They did not even need a reason to beat somebody up.

Resistance would only be met with harsher beatings!

This was the reality that she had seen throughout the 700 and over days she spent inside!

Every new person who entered would not be considered as a ‘graduate’ of this special school if they had not suffered several unfair beatings!

Mu Chenyan was not an exception…

Although the outside world was not a prison, it still revolved around certain conventions. Status and social standing resembled labels that were already stuck on at birth.

Anyone could either be an abuser or a victim and this was clear at one glance!

Although no one held your arms down to prevent you from retaliating, the disparity between rankings would make you too afraid to hit back!

The shop assistant suffered in silence but that was insufficient to appease the fair woman’s rage!

When she saw Mu Chenyan’s delicate features and slender yet seductive figure,. Even when Chenyan was not talking, she was still able to stir up an intense presence that would even allow the most indifferent gazes to see through the supposed stillness of this matter.

The fair woman hated this type of woman who resembled heaven’s darlings!

She had good skin, a charming appearance, cool temperament, and a physique that was exceptionally well-maintained. Her age seemed as though it had reached a standstill before them and made people felt as if time could never defeat a beautiful woman!

She unconsciously thought of the foxy women who are always surrounding her own man. They were a group of young women who were similar to her!

Her mental state gradually grew more unbalanced. This woman could spend in a shop like this but no one knew if she was a rich tycoon herself or if she was spending an unknown man’s money!

Thinking of this, she grew angrier and the more she could not bear to look at Mu Chenyan’s delicate face.

Looking at the dress that Mu Chenyan tried on, she realized that she would not be able to fit in it even if she were to slice off twenty kilograms of flesh from her body. Fury and jealousy seeped out from the depths of her heart. Since she had no where to displace it, the unfortunate young person at the doorway became the best target to vent her frustrations!

“Go get the manager! You’re just a little shop assistant but since I think that you’re picking a fight for no reason, I don’t want to do business here anymore!” She slapped again, clearly venting her pent-up anger!

“That’s right, our spendings add up to a turnover of several million a year. If you blindly chase us out, will you be able to bear the losses?”

The several women whom the fair woman, Li Li, had brought along saw her furious, they spoke up in unison as well.

This was the manner of people who merely desired to stir up trouble. Moreover, since the fair woman’s anger could only subside with great difficulty, they could not be considered as her friends if they did not do as she wished.

The young shop assistant was frightened to tears and wept, “I’ve just finished my internship but haven’t received my salary. Madams, I didn’t recognize you but please forgive me for failing to acknowledge your importance…”

Mu Chenyan could not bear to watch further. Since she had caused this issue, the young shop assistant would truly be unfortunate if she did not take action!

“Madams, you should be happy when you’re out shopping, so why make things difficult for an employee?”

Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and gently said, “They were really just closing the area earlier but if you would like to come in, you may enter now!”

The fair woman was initially looking for an excuse but could not do so if Mu Chenyan did not say anything.

Seeing that Mu Chenyan has finally spoken, the fair woman’s imposing manner got stronger before she let out a torrent of verbal abuse. “Where did this slutty fox come out from? I don’t know which man’s money you’re shamefully spending but if you’re going to strut around here, be careful because the first wife is going to catch you on the street one day and rip off all your clothes!”
