"Sir, will you be paying with card, or via mobile?" the clerk asked again, his tone now clearly unfriendly and tinged with mockery.

If you don't have money, you shouldn't have come in. The clothes are already packed, and now you want to back out? Are you just trying to get a rise out of me?

"Can't afford it, huh?" Yang Ting walked up to Chen Yang with her hands in her pockets. "Beg me! Just kneel down and beg, and I'll pay for you!"

"A pathetic weakling who sponges off his wife, trying to act tough in front of me? Aren't you afraid you'll be a laughingstock?"

Zhang Xiaowen's face flushed, clutching her phone. She wanted to call Qin Qiu, but based on her understanding of the chairwoman, she knew that after hearing what had happened, Qin Qiu would surely abandon Chen Yang to his fate.

Just as Yang Ting was about to continue humiliating Chen Yang, a young man in his thirties walked in. He was dressed in a black suit, with plain features but a tall, straight figure.

The young man's name was Du Qing, one of the mall's managers. Seeing the ruckus in the store, he raised an eyebrow. "What's all this noise about?"

"Husband, you're here!" Yang Ting's eyes lit up. She hugged Du Qing's arm intimately and recounted the entire incident with embellishments.

"Heh..."

Du Qing let out a short, mocking laugh. He leisurely lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly, "Not only do I have a bit of money, but I'm also a senior manager of this mall. Now, I'm ordering you to pay for these three sets of clothes immediately!"

"Did you hear that? Pay up now, or you'll face the consequences!" Yang Ting declared with overwhelming arrogance. "What good is a handsome face? Having money is the only thing that matters!"

Du Qing stood up straight, tilting his head as he said earnestly, "Of course a handsome face is useful. For sponging off women, for example?"

"HAHAHA!"

A wave of raucous laughter filled the room.

「Meanwhile, in a luxurious office on the top floor of the mall.」

Hearing that Chen Yang had arrived at his mall, Su Ding slammed his hand on the desk, his expression darkening. "Why is it this guy again? Is he a ghost I can't shake off?"

"Mr. Su, now isn't the time for complaints. Du Qing seems to be on the verge of clashing with him!" the subordinate reporting the situation said hurriedly.

"What?!" Su Ding sprang from his chair, his face instantly turning green.

It's just as I feared!

A chill ran down Su Ding's spine. He rushed out in a panic, shouting as he ran, "What are you standing around for? Lead the way, now!"

"Yes, yes!" The subordinate, aware of the gravity of the situation, dared not delay for a second.

「Sizhe Boutique.」

Chen Yang had just wanted to call Yang Hu, but they kept interrupting him.

"Kid, I'll say this one last time. Pay up now!"

As Su Ding entered the Sizhe Boutique, he saw Du Qing berating Chen Yang with an air of superiority, acting like he was king of the world.

The sharp-eyed Yang Ting was momentarily stunned when she saw Su Ding, but then a fawning smile quickly spread across her face as she rushed to greet him. "Mr. Su, you're here!"

"Mr. Su, what brings you here? If you need anything, just say the word!" Du Qing followed close behind, wondering why the great young master, who so rarely appeared in public, was here today.

Seeing Su Ding's sullen face, the observant Yang Ting immediately pointed at Chen Yang and explained, "Mr. Su, here's what happened. This guy had the clerk pack several sets of clothes, but now he's making all sorts of excuses not to pay!"

"But don't worry, we'll have this sorted out in a moment!" Yang Ting assured him confidently, then turned to shout fiercely at Chen Yang, "You useless piece of..."

Su Ding cut her off, his voice low and ominous. "Who did you just call useless?"

"Him!" Yang Ting pointed at Chen Yang again. "Mr. Su, you have no idea. This bastard is not only useless, but also..."

Yang Ting was still trying to claim credit when Su Ding suddenly grabbed her by the hair and yanked her up.

"You dare call him useless? I think you've got a death wish!" Su Ding stared at her coldly.

BANG!

Yang Ting was slammed hard onto the ground. Her head smashed into the floor, and blood bloomed from the wound.

Du Qing, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

Mr. Su has met my wife before, so it's not a case of mistaken identity... but this...

"Get lost!" Su Ding kicked Yang Ting aside and scurried over to Chen Yang, forcing a laugh. "B-Big Brother, why didn't you let your little brother know you were coming?"

In an instant, everyone in the store froze as if they were statues. The only thing moving was the look of utter shock and terror flashing in their eyes.

Big Brother? Little Brother?

This...

Zhang Xiaowen covered her mouth in astonishment, murmuring unconsciously, "Su... Mr. Su Ding, from the Su Corporation?"

Because Su Ding had harassed Qin Qiu, she had of course heard his name, but she never imagined she would meet the famous Mr. Su under circumstances like these.

"Big Brother, it was my failure to discipline my subordinates that allowed these blind fools to offend you! Rest assured, I'll take care of them and teach them a lesson they'll never forget."

With his head bowed, Su Ding said fawningly, "Everything today is on me. Big Brother, please, take whatever you like!"

"How could I possibly?" Chen Yang was also surprised to run into Su Ding here.

But when a fat sheep walks right up to your door, how could you not slaughter it?

Chen Yang's words were modest, but his hands were honest. He picked up the three sets of clothes that were already packed, then turned to Zhang Xiaowen. "That black dress you liked earlier... was it at Givenchy?"

Zhang Xiaowen: "..."

Before she could answer, Chen Yang waved his hand dismissively. "There's also a black dress from Givenchy. Pack that up for me as well!"

"Right away! I'll have someone bring it over immediately!" Far from feeling the pinch, Su Ding let out a huge sigh of relief. As long as he could placate Chen Yang, any price was worth paying.

Chen Yang nodded, his gaze sweeping over Yang Ting and Du Qing.

THUD. THUD. THUD.

Yang Ting, who had just scrambled up from the floor, felt a chill run through her as she met Chen Yang's gaze. Her fingers trembled violently.

But... isn't he just a useless good-for-nothing? How could he make the great Mr. Su so terrified?

Su Ding instantly understood Chen Yang's meaning. He waved to the men behind him. "Go! Beat these two to a pulp for me!"

"Yes, Mr. Su!"

Seven or eight burly men split into two groups, rolled up their sleeves, and advanced on Du Qing and Yang Ting.

"No, no!" Yang Ting shook her head frantically, then dropped to her knees at Chen Yang's feet, crying out, "I-I'm sorry! I apologize! Please, be merciful and let me go!"

Chen Yang just smiled without saying a word.

A burly man shoved her head to the floor with a thud, then grabbed her by the leg and started dragging her out like a dead dog.
