Chapter 634: Chapter 623: Teaching Qiao Jing a Lesson

The newcomer was none other than Wu Xirui.

Wu Xirui slowly approached the store’s entrance, his face sporting the usual insincere smile as he swept a glance inside.

"Heard this store ran into some trouble?"

Because Qiao Jing’s figure was mostly obscured by the towering security guards, Wu Xirui couldn’t see her at all.

As soon as she saw Wu Xirui, her attitude underwent a complete turnaround, saying with sycophantic flattery,

"Good morning, Fifth Master. No real trouble, just a lunatic came into the store to shop and even used a counterfeit black card. We were just about to kick her out when you arrived."

The sales associate’s face instantly lit up with a flattering smile, nodding and bowing to Wu Xirui.

"Exactly, Fifth Master, don’t worry. We can handle this right away, and it won’t happen again in the store. Rest assured."

Ye Linglong’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten when she saw Wu Xirui, and her tone softened.

"Fifth Master, do you remember me? I am Ye Linglong."

Wu Xirui glanced at Ye Linglong casually. Although he did not remember the woman before him, he still hummed indifferently.

Ye Linglong looked at Wu Xirui with a smile full of triumph in her heart.

She knew that Wu Xirui remembered her. She was well-known as a talented woman in the capital’s high society; forgetting her was difficult.

If things didn’t work out with Zhan Qipei, she considered switching her attentions to Wu Xirui. After all, both men were incredibly handsome and powerful, and she matched them perfectly!

Suddenly, Wu Xirui noticed that the security guards were all holding their wrists, their faces twisted in pain, and he asked with some confusion,

"What’s the matter with you guys?"

The guards’ faces turned red and white, but none of them spoke up.

If Fifth Master learned that a group of tall and burly security guards had been easily taken down by a woman, wouldn’t they lose face completely?

Not only would they lose face, but they would also lose their jobs. How could they possibly admit that?

Seeing this, Ye Linglong stepped in to answer for the guards,

"Fifth Master, they were injured by the person with the counterfeit black card. She not only wanted to snatch a bag from me but also injured so many security guards for the sake of face, and now she is still in the store. What do you think we should do?"

She only said this to provoke Wu Xirui into using his means to punish Qiao Jing.

Wu Xirui was known to be ruthless in his dealings, and Qiao Jing had directly offended him with her actions.

She couldn’t believe that Wu Xirui would let Qiao Jing off easily!

After she finished her sentence, Ye Linglong gave the sales associate beside her a meaningful look.

The sales associate immediately understood Ye Linglong’s intentions, nodded, and continued,

"And, Fifth Master, she refused to admit it when we caught her with the counterfeit black card. She even cursed at us, saying we were all sick, and threatened to smash up the store. Look how disrespectful she is to you!"

Upon hearing this baseless accusation, Qiao Jing frowned.

Wu Xirui, standing nearby, raised his eyebrows, the smile deepening in his flirtatious eyes, seemingly quite interested in this person.

"Oh? Who dares cause trouble in my place? Still in the store? Where?"

Ye Linglong saw that the guards showed no intention of budging, so she stepped forward and pushed them aside.

"You start hiding as soon as the Fifth Master arrives, scared?"

She knew that the Fifth Master would surely get angry, and now Qiao Jing was doomed!

Qiao Jing rolled her eyes, feeling too indignant to bother with Ye Linglong.

She stepped forward, retrieved her black card, and picked up the already wrapped bag.

"You’ve charged my card; the bag should be mine now."

Ye Linglong watched and, gnashing her teeth with anger, spat out,

"Qiao Jing! Do you think you can just walk out with the bag like that? You’ve already offended the Fifth Master. Don’t think you can leave so easily!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Wu Xirui, ready to slander Qiao Jing further when she suddenly noticed Wu Xirui staring intently at Qiao Jing. What felt strange to her was,

Wu Xirui’s smile seemed to take on a hint of pleasure?

Thinking she might have seen it wrong, Ye Linglong didn’t give it much thought and pointed her finger at Qiao Jing.

"Fifth Master, it’s her! The one with the counterfeit black card who hit people, and insulted you!"

Wu Xirui paid no attention to her, taking strides towards Qiao Jing instead.

Ye Linglong and the shop assistant simultaneously displayed smug smiles on their faces.

Qiao Jing was done for now! Fifth Master was going to take matters into his own hands!

Just when everyone was waiting to see Wu Xirui teach Qiao Jing a lesson, they witnessed a scene that completely shocked them.

After arriving at Qiao Jing’s side, Wu Xirui spoke very familiarly:

"How come you’re here? Coming to my mall and not letting me know in advance, so I could have arranged for someone to personally receive you."

Qiao Jing glanced indifferently at Wu Xirui and spoke slowly:

"No need, I’ve already made my purchase."

She still had to prepare for Ni Yue’s birthday tomorrow and didn’t have time to waste with these people.

It was only then that Wu Xirui noticed the bag in Qiao Jing’s hand, and he said with a smile:

"You like this bag? Never mind just the bag, if you like this store, I could give it to you outright. How about it? Do you want it?"

Qiao Jing, speechless, twitched the corner of her mouth and headed for the exit.

"No need."

She didn’t have the energy to manage so much, and besides, she wasn’t lacking a store like this one.

Wu Xirui simply responded with an okay and then followed Qiao Jing, starting to ask about other matters.

"Do you want to become a member of this mall? I could just issue you a card. But yours would be special, having a higher priority purchase right than other members."

Qiao Jing grew more speechless, firmly declining Wu Xirui again.

"No, thank you."

She already had a black card; another membership card would be superfluous.

Moreover, even if she wanted a membership card for this mall, she would have applied through the normal process, no need for backdoor favors.

Wu Xirui didn’t get discouraged and kept following Qiao Jing out of the shop, walking further and further away.

The few people left inside the store, their minds completely blown, couldn’t believe their eyes.

Especially Ye Linglong, who was close to exploding with anger.

She stared wide-eyed, fixating on the retreating figures of Qiao Jing and Wu Xirui.

"What’s going on?!"

Why was Wu Xirui so nice to Qiao Jing, but so dismissive towards them?

What gave her the right?

Not only did Wu Xirui offer to give the bag to Qiao Jing, but he even offered the whole store. What on earth was their relationship?

She just didn’t understand what was so good about Qiao Jing, that Wu Xirui would go out of his way to follow her out? It was as if a lackey was following his boss!

The shop assistant and store manager’s expressions turned sour, as they exchanged glances with the security guards.

The store manager, being the most perceptive, spoke first.

"We’re done for; we’ve offended Fifth Master. That woman just now seems to be his friend. And their relationship appears to be rather close."

After saying that, she glared at the shop assistant.

"What are you doing? What’s going on here? Falsely accusing someone?! We’re both going to be fired soon!"

The shop assistant looked tearfully at the manager and hastily shook her head.

"Manager, I didn’t know, it was her who insisted on competing with Miss Ye for the bag, and then she pulled out a black card, but she’s just a country bumpkin, how could she possibly have a black card?"

The store manager rolled her eyes in utter disbelief.

"Whether she has a black card or not, Fifth Master’s attitude towards her is proof enough of their relationship!"

The shop assistant, seeking help, looked towards Ye Linglong, hoping she would step in and prevent them from getting fired.

But at that moment, Ye Linglong was no longer in the store. Instead, she had chased after Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing hadn’t gone far when suddenly she heard the sound of high heels clicking rapidly on the floor behind her.

She paused her step, and the next second, a panting Ye Linglong blocked Qiao Jing’s path.
