Chapter 314: You’re Misunderstood…
Chapter 314: You’re Misunderstood…
Upon hearing this vile woman’s words, Huang Xiaolong was seething with anger.
He was in a good mood, shopping with Su Xiaoman, when an outrageous woman suddenly appeared and flagrantly insulted Su Xiaoman.
This can’t be tolerated… Unforgivable!
Right now, Huang Xiaolong wanted to go over and slap her.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s darkened face, Su Xiaoman quickly grabbed him and whispered, “Little Long… this woman’s name is ‘Hu Ting.’ She was… a classmate from when I was in school… Back then, she pursued the most handsome and wealthiest boy in our class… However, that boy… wrote a love letter to me… After that, Hu Ting despised me. Every time she sees me, she would sneer at me…”
In the end, Su Xiaoman emphasized, “But, Little Long, don’t get it wrong, nothing happened between me and that guy… And, Little Long, you must never resort to physical violence… This is a busy city… If you fight, it will be detrimental to you. Calm down. If we can’t face it, we can always avoid it, right? Let’s go, Little Long, let’s go…”
All along, her poverty made Su Xiaoman feel inherently weak.
Whenever she encountered trouble, Su Xiaoman’s instinct was to retreat, again and again.
Stepping back can lead to the sea and the sky, vast and expansive!
“No, Sister Xiaoman, she is bullying you too much.” Huang Xiaolong tried to persuade her. “You are not afraid of her… I am your backing now. With me, you can face anyone in this world.”
“Alright, Su Xiaoman, stop pretending now. Why bother? Poor people like you cannot afford such things in your lifetime. Are you trying to steal something? Pfft” That woman, Hu Ting, looked at Su Xiaoman maliciously.
After observing Su Xiaoman’s shabby clothes, Hu Ting concluded that she was certainly poor. And the young man next to her appeared quite ordinary. All his clothes combined wouldn’t even be worth 1,2000 yuan. That’s nothing!
“Are you stupid?” Huang Xiaolong sneered. “There are cameras all around this jewelry store. Only morons would think to rob it in broad daylight.”
Hearing his words, the saleswoman secretly nodded in agreement.
“You’re calling me stupid? Who do you think you are?” Hu Ting stomped her foot in anger.
“Huh?” The man beside Hu Ting cast a warning look at Huang Xiaolong. His gaze was filled with a sense of superiority, “Young man, you shouldn’t just throw insults around. It’s very unbecoming. Didn’t your family teach you manners?”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha How ridiculous. This woman started insulting us as soon as she walked in. Wouldn’t that mean her family didn’t teach her manners either?” Huang Xiaolong said jokingly.
“You!” The man’s face darkened. “She is her, you are you! Let me tell you, not all people are the same! Alright, I don’t want to waste my time talking to you. Before I get angry, you better disappear from my sight.”
He paused, then looked at the saleswoman. “Pack this jade bracelet up for me. I’m buying it.”
“Bu… but…” The saleswoman was in a quandary as she glanced between Huang Xiaolong and the arrogant man.
“Don’t think too much. They can’t afford it.” The man sneered. “From the very beginning, people like them didn’t deserve to enter such a high-end jewelry store. The fact that they are arguing with my girlfriend is nothing more than a manifestation of their jealousy toward the rich. In fact, they simply don’t have the purchasing power.”
“Are you kidding me? I can’t afford it?” Huang Xiaolong was mixed with laughter and tears. “I could buy a hundred of these jade bracelets! Why would I be jealous of you? What do you have that could make me jealous? What do you even count as?”
“You’re asking for it!” Hu Ting barked in anger. Then, with an extremely arrogant expression, she said, “My boyfriend, is the district chief of the Lychee district! And he will soon be transferred to our Binhai’s major agricultural county, Rongzhou County, to take the top position! Who do you two think you are? The fact that my boyfriend is even talking to you is your best fortune from your past life. Yet here you are, chirping away… See your mistake now? Humph! Apologize! Apologize to me and my boyfriend immediately! Otherwise, I’ll end you!”
Hu Ting was too arrogant, inflated with a sense of importance… this was clearly a disease.
“Dear, you… keep a low profile, don’t go around talking about such things…” The man, who was actually the district chief, pretended to reprimand Hu Ting, who was nestled next to him like a pet bird. But his words contained an indescribable hint of smugness.
“Di…district Chief…” The saleswoman was shocked speechless.
She was just a worker here, damn, facing the chief of a district, she instantly felt very insignificant. “Alright, District Chief, I will pack this bracelet for you right away…”
“Little Long… let’s hurry and leave…” Su Xiaoman was also terrified.
She knew that her Little Long had a lot of connections with influential people.
But neither Hong Quantao from the Grand Banquet Hotel nor Zou Shi could probably stand their ground in front of this district chief.
The Lychee district was home to millions of ordinary people, but there’s only one district chief!
How powerful is that?
“Sister Xiaoman, don’t be afraid,” Huang Xiaolong certainly didn’t want to leave.
Then, Huang Xiaolong glanced at the saleswoman. “This bracelet, Sister Xiaoman and I saw it first, why should we give it to him?”
The saleswoman was at a loss for words, thinking, young man, how have you still not seen the reality here?
He is the district chief, how could you possibly compete with him?
“Oh… you just can’t keep quiet, can you? Alright, I’m telling you very seriously, apologize! Immediately apologize! Today, you won’t leave here unless you apologize!” The district chief’s face turned dark.
Just then
“Who are you asking to apologize?” A deep middle-aged male voice rose in anger.
Only to see, Mayor Fang strides into the jewelry store with a plastic bag in hand. “This is absolute nonsense!”
“Hiss!” The district chief gasped and his smug face turned pale, replaced by alarm and fear.
“Husband hurry up and make them apologize” Hu Ting cooed at her side.
“Apologize! Apologize my ass!” The district chief’s mouth went dry.
At this moment, Mayor Fang had already arrived next to Huang Xiaolong, gave a slight smile, and respectfully handed over the plastic bag to Huang Xiaolong. “Mr. Huang, please check to see if the amount is correct. Thank you, thank you so much. Please, I must insist you come to my house sometime, my wife insists on having you over for dinner.”
Upon saying this, Mayor Fang glanced at Su Xiaoman standing next to Huang Xiaolong, slightly frowning, but with his deep city smarts, he said nothing more.
Hearing Mayor Fang’s conversation with Huang Xiaolong, the district chief started breaking out in cold sweat.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at Mayor Fang, remaining silent, and then turned his gaze towards the district chief.
“Eh… Mr. Huang, I heard some of your conversation just now, don’t worry, I’ll handle this.” Mayor Fang didn’t dare to slack off, after witnessing Huang Xiaolong’s abilities, knowing he wasn’t an ordinary person.
Immediately, Mayor Fang turned around, glaring at the district chief. “You just said that Mr. Huang should apologize to you. I’d like to know, what did he do to offend you to the point that he needs to apologize?”
The district chief’s feet were trembling, his head low. “Mayor Fang… I… I didn’t say… I… didn’t say anything… it… it’s a misunderstanding… you’ve misunderstood me…”
