Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 376: Why is He Taking Revenge for Me?

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Why is He Taking Revenge for Me?

"University girls often loiter around the store, trying things on even though they can’t afford them—I see right through their vanity!" the female store owner declared with the air of a woman well-versed in such matters, confident in her assessment.

Xing Ling nearly laughed out of frustration.

Was that supposed to be a compliment on her youth?

But even so, that didn’t give anyone the right to insult her!

"Don’t leave. I’m calling the police. Close the door!" ordered the store owner, directing a sales assistant to lock up.

As Xing Ling watched the sales assistant lock the door, the store owner’s words while calling the police were clear, "A girl who can’t afford clothes is making a scene in my store and even threw clothes on the floor. I’m certain she can’t afford them; I’ve seen too many girls like her, consumed with vanity."

By the time the police arrived, Xing Ling tried to sit on a stool, but the store owner pushed her away, "Says who you could sit? You’re a suspect now! Once the police get here, they’ll lock you up, and you can have a good think about what you’ve done!"

Xing Ling, having seen it all, couldn’t help but laugh.

Her cell phone rang in her bag, and without looking, she answered it, irritated, "Speak your piece!"

"Mommy, are you in a bad mood?" came a tender, milky voice.

It was only then that Xing Ling glanced at the missed call notification on her phone—it was Ye Sihan’s number!

"Why aren’t you talking, mommy? Is something wrong?"

"Mommy!"

Xing Ling could hear the cry in her child’s voice, sensing extreme fear, and immediately reassured, "It’s nothing, I’m just in a clothing store. Don’t cry, everything’s fine, really, I’ll be heading home once I finish buying clothes..."

Before she could finish, Ye Sihan’s deep voice came through, "Where are you?"

"Send me your location."

Before Xing Ling could reply, the call ended.

She silently forwarded her location to Ye Sihan.

She wondered if Ye Sihan, with his influence and power in the capital, could help her out when the police arrive.

Would it be a hassle for him?

The police arrived quickly, and as the shop door opened, they asked, "What’s the situation?"

"It’s her," the store owner pointed at Xing Ling. "Look, the clothes are still on the floor; I haven’t touched them. If you don’t believe me, we have surveillance cameras; you can check the footage."

"Did you throw them?" the police officer inquired.

Xing Ling admitted, "Yes, but she insulted me first."

"Insult? I was simply telling the truth. And you throw my clothes on the ground? That’s just uncouth," the store owner scoffed. "Regardless, I won’t let this go easily. Don’t think I’ll let you off just because you’re a student."

"Please come with us," the police officer stated matter-of-factly.

No sooner had the officer spoken, there was a commotion at the entrance, and someone else entered.

Xing Ling looked over to see the looming figure of Ye Sihan entering the store, his imposing aura creating an intimidating atmosphere.

Behind him followed Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu stepped forward, "What’s going on here?"

"We’re the police. She was causing trouble in the store, and we’re taking her in for questioning. Who might you be?" the officer asked.

"I’m the aide to Mr. Ye Sihan, the head of KING Group. My name is Xiao, and I’d like to know what trouble has been caused?" Xiao Yu said, his tone casual.

However, both the police officer and the store owner were taken aback upon hearing ’KING Group.’

They couldn’t understand why an aide from KING Group would show up here.

Then, they took notice of the man who had entered first, recognizing him. Could he be the head of the group??

The entire atmosphere in the store seemed to tense up.

The officer looked at the store owner, who quickly put on a pose of greeting a VIP and said, "Are you here to shop? It’s nothing, just this female student causing a scene in our store. We had no choice, our clothes are stylish and expensive, not something a girl reeking of poverty can touch. And then she threw them on the ground, completely clueless about her place."

"It seems to me that you’re the one who’s clueless about her place," Xiao Yu’s face lost any hint of warmth, and he turned to the police officer saying, "May we have a word in private?"

The police and Xiao Yu went outside.

Ye Sihan’s sharp black eyes swept around the store, "Did you throw the clothes?"

Xing Ling knew he was addressing her, and her face could not hide her displeasure.

Was he really going to scold her in front of everyone?

"So what if I did? Are you going to scold me?" she huffed. "Careful, or I won’t take care of your kids."

As she spoke, tears began to twinkle in her eyes, a picture of utter distress.

When Ye Sihan saw the tears in her eyes, his black pupils shuddered, "You didn’t throw enough."

Xing Ling looked up in surprise.

"Somebody, smash this store for me," Ye Sihan ordered, his chilly gaze sweeping to one side.

The bodyguards came in, iron rods in hand.

The woman store owner panicked, "No, what are you doing? There might be some misunderstanding..." Before she could finish, an iron rod smashed down onto a glass cabinet.

Glass shards flew, slicing across the woman owner’s face, as blood flowed out, her scream aghast.

Stunned, Xing Ling felt a tight grip around her waist as she was pulled aside, "Stay back. Watch closely."

The bodyguards laid into the four glass cabinets, shattering them completely, the jewelry inside scattering to the floor.

All the clothes on the racks and the mannequins were torn off.

Even the cash register counter was not spared.

A well-established boutique was reduced to a trash heap in an instant.

Xing Ling, huddled in Ye Sihan’s embrace, had forgotten to react, simply staring in disbelief.

She thought, Ye Sihan is far more ruthless than she is!

She had only thrown one piece of clothing, but he went ahead and destroyed the entire store.

The female store owner, frightened out of her wits, had collapsed on the floor, her spirit shattered.

"Are you satisfied now?" Ye Sihan’s deep voice resonated.

Xing Ling nodded her head; how could she not be? Otherwise, what’s next, murder?

Ye Sihan wrapped his arm around Xing Ling, leading her out to the car.

Xiao Yu, having dispatched the police officer, stood by the car door as Ye Sihan spoke with a cold voice, "This woman will no longer appear on the commercial street of the capital."

"Understood." Xiao Yu closed the car door respectfully and watched the vehicle drive off.

Xiao Yu returned to the store to find the trembling woman owner still sitting on the floor, and he said with helpless sympathy, "Who did you have to provoke but Ye Sihan’s wife? You’re lucky to be alive; consider it a blessing from your ancestors."

Upon hearing from Xiao Yu who the college girl really was, the woman owner’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted to the ground.

In the car, Xing Ling felt a bit embarrassed, especially after nearly crying earlier; it felt somewhat unbecoming.

"...Thank you," she said softly, feeling awkward.

"This is my territory, you can call me if there’s trouble," Ye Sihan said without much concern.

Seeing him so nice, Xing Ling couldn’t help but speculate as she looked at his sharply sculpted, handsome face.

Why was he standing up for her?

Oh, it must be for the quadruplets.

On the phone, the quadruplets had been on the verge of crying!

But even so, being the one who benefited from his actions, she felt a warm glow in her heart!

Ye Sihan, lifting his gaze to look at a cheerful Xing Ling through the car window, couldn’t help but be slightly distracted.

"By the way, are we going straight back to Ye Mansion?" Xing Ling suddenly turned her face, but unexpectedly caught his gaze. His eyes lacked their usual coldness and held a focused intensity instead, which made her face flush red. "What are you staring at? Don’t look at me like that; do you think I’m Tang Yu?"
