Chapter 29: Being Looked Down Upon

The other woman had shoulder-length hair and looked more elegant. However, the way she looked at Xi Wan was obviously condescending, as if she felt that Xi Wan was not someone of her level.

This person was Lin Sheng, the lady of an aristocratic family. She came from a family of scholars and did not think much of acting. Even if Xi Wan had become an investor now, she was still an unpresentable thing in Lin Sheng’s eyes.

Xi Wan didn’t want to bother with the two of them at first, but the way they looked at her was really annoying, so she didn’t feel any need to be nice to them.

She asked bluntly,”Is this shop yours? Is there any rule that says I can’t buy clothes here?”

Li Yue and Lin Sheng were a little surprised. They did not expect Xi Wan to argue with them.

The system promptly reminded her, [ These two are both from aristocratic families. However, they belong to third-grade aristocratic families and can’t be compared to the Su family. And I have to remind you that this shop is under Su Xun, so…Host, you can call Su Xun now and ask him to come and help you out. At that time, you can also gain his favor. ]

Xi Wan felt more at ease after hearing this, but she ignored the system’s suggestion and rolled her eyes at the two women. “I thought you were some big shot, but it turns out you’re just a good-for-nothing who doesn’t have a job and can only rely on your family to support you.”

She puffed out her chest. “I’m different from you. I’m not only the lady of an aristocratic family, but I can also earn money with my own abilities. As for your Chenchen,” she said as she looked at the two women up and down, the disdain in her eyes very obvious, “As expected of someone elderly, your skin is bad and so loose. I don’t think you should come here to buy clothes. You should buy the best makeup instead—you might even be able to cover up your shortcomings.”

[…Host, can we not rely on ourselves for everything? You have a husband, so you can show weakness at this time.]

“It’s a new era now. I want to be an independent woman who has to rely on myself for everything.”

Li Yue and Lin Sheng were furious at everything.

The two of them looked fierce, and Li Yue said directly, “What are you pretending for? Lady of an aristocratic family? And which family are you from? Are you a member of this shop? It’s just a small amount of money, what’s the point of putting on such an act?”

Lin Sheng joined in the mockery. “You don’t even have experience to speak of! You only know how to attract attention on the internet. I heard that your father doesn’t even love you—that must be why you have this kind of personality.”

Xi Wan smiled. “Oh my, are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?”

As she spoke, Xi Wan opened her wallet, signed a check, and handed it to Xiao Chen. “See if this is enough to buy your shop.

While this was going on, someone who had been sent to tail Xi Wan immediately informed Zhang Wen of the situation. Zhang Wen’s heart trembled when he heard of it. “What? The Young Madam is going to buy the boss’s shop? There’s no need for that!”

He immediately went to look for Su Xun and told him what had happened. His tone was a little anxious as he said, “Boss, this is a misunderstanding. The Young Madam probably doesn’t know that it’s your shop yet. There’s no need to sell it to someone within your own family, right?”

Su Xun raised his head from the document and said calmly, “Since she likes it, just give her the store. You can handle the procedures with the documents. You don’t have to tell me about such a small matter.”

After that, Zhang Wen took the necessary documents and went out. As he sat in the car, he was still lamenting that the value of this store was of at least eight figures, and yet the boss was saying that it was such a small matter? Zhang Wen felt like he had suffered a blow to his heart.

In the shop, Xiao Chen looked at the mass of zeros written on the check and was already dumbfounded. “U-Um, can we talk things out? Why do you have to go this far?”

Most importantly, this store wasn’t hers, so she didn’t have the right to sell it off to begin with.

Before, she was only worried that if the three ladies quarreled, she would lose three customers. Now, she was worried about whether she would have a job if the shop was bought over by this lady.

At that moment, a man in a suit came into the store with a folder in his hand.

Xi Wan was surprised to see him. “Zhang Wen, why are you here?”
