A speech came from the manager. She was also in a difficult position, but there was no other way. If Liu Jiali was not fired, she herself would be implicated. Moreover, Liu Jiali was indeed at fault in this matter.
Hearing this, Liu Jiali, lying on the ground, showed no reaction. She had almost predicted this outcome and had already prepared herself mentally. She slowly got up from the ground, ready to pack her things and leave.
"Wait, hand over your phone!"
As Liu Jiali struggled to get up, the woman leaned over again, snatched the phone from Liu Jiali's hand, and deleted the photos inside.
Seeing that the photos Liu Jiali had taken while packing her things were all deleted, the woman snorted coldly and threw the phone back towards Liu Jiali on the ground. She showed no mercy to Liu Jiali. The phone hit her face, which had a trace of blood, with a bang. It seemed she was not a good person if she could use someone else's bag for staged photos for vanity.
"Alright, manager, we don't want this bag anymore. Please pack that one for me."
After doing this, the woman pointed to another branded bag on the counter, signaling the stunned manager to pack it for her. Her eyes gleamed, clearly indicating that she had been eyeing this bag for a long time.
Glancing at Wei Shaoting behind the woman, the manager nodded repeatedly and obediently walked over to retrieve the bag.
This bag was more expensive than the previous one, and of course, its material and style were also very good.
"Honey, I'm done shopping. Why don't we go to the cosmetics store next door? I promise this time, after we finish shopping, I'll spend quality time with you."
After taking the bag, the woman leaned against Wei Shaoting again, looking up at him and speaking with feigned shyness. However, Wei Shaoting had completely lost interest in shopping, his expression extremely cold. Seeing the expression of the young master she had finally managed to hook up with, the woman's heart sank.
Could it be... she had gone too far?
The next second, before the woman could think further, Wei Shaoting grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the store entrance. His grip was so strong that he showed no gentleness.
"Wait, you're hurting me!"
A sharp pain shot up her wrist. The woman's high heels made a clattering sound as Wei Shaoting dragged her out of the store. Yet, she dared not struggle, for she knew that this young master had a weak constitution. If he were injured by her struggling, all her efforts would be in vain.
Seeing Wei Shaoting pulling her towards the parking area, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, she hadn't gone too far.
"Ouch! It hurts, be gentler."
Following his lead, the woman quickened her pace. As she looked at the customized Maybach with its doors open, a trace of fervent longing flashed in her eyes, as if stepping into that car would make her a phoenix soaring to the branches.
She was not an idiot and naturally knew that ordinary second-generation rich kids were just playing around, but this time she was prepared.
A bodyguard held open the car door. As the woman stepped forward, about to get into the car, Wei Shaoting suddenly stopped beside her.
With the halt in his steps, the woman swayed violently, losing her balance and almost falling to the ground. She looked up at Wei Shaoting beside her, her gaze dazed. Did he not want to take her with him? Did he want to abandon her?
This sudden change caught the woman off guard.
Wei Shaoting stood before the car door, not having the time to pay attention to the woman beside him. Instead, he looked with a cold gaze at a man standing not far in front of him.
"Young Master Wei, I didn't expect your taste in women to get worse after leaving the hospital. You're even resorting to force!"
Lin Yan's words carried a hint of roguishness, a trait that had nothing to do with his own character but was inherent to the original owner.
Lin Yan sat on a wooden bench in the middle of the commercial street, his left leg crossed over his right, his legs crossed at the knees, his gaze playful. He had actually arrived much earlier but had not gone in.
From here, he could see everything happening in that store. Why should he go in and make himself uncomfortable? He didn't even know Liu Jiali inside.
Looking at Lin Yan speaking not far away, Wei Shaoting's face revealed a hint of malice. He hadn't seen Lin Yan, who was wearing a large mask covering half his face, but he had sensed Li Wei beside him. Now that Lin Yan spoke, he recognized him.
Glancing around, Wei Shaoting's lips curved into a cold smile.
"Heh heh, isn't this Young Master Lin? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten when you go out with so few bodyguards?"
As he spoke, Wei Shaoting signaled his subordinates to move closer to Lin Yan. He had learned from his mistakes. Since his discharge from the hospital, he had been surrounded by capable men. However, he hadn't expected Lin Yan to be so foolish this time, daring to come and provoke him with just a few people.
"Young Master Wei, should I say you're smart or what? You've got a crutch now, how come you still haven't learned your lesson?"
Lin Yan sighed and shook his head at Wei Shaoting, looking like an old father watching his unpromising son.
"What do you mean?"
Wei Shaoting did not understand Lin Yan's meaning.
"Young Master, there are many people around here. If we make a move, what if word gets out..."
A middle-aged bodyguard beside Wei Shaoting whispered into his ear.
Lin Yan glanced at the middle-aged man. The bodyguards nearby had all moved towards him, but this one had not, remaining by Wei Shaoting's side. It seemed this fellow held a position similar to Li Wei in the Wei family.
After hearing the middle-aged bodyguard's words, Wei Shaoting looked around. Indeed, quite a few onlookers had gathered. It was the weekend, and this was the commercial street in the city center, with a large flow of people. It was hard for these two "fools" confronting each other from a distance not to attract attention.
Wei Shaoting's expression shifted between anger and gloom. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand, signaling his bodyguards to retreat. He hated Lin Yan and desperately wanted to kill him, but he knew he couldn't do it now.
His status in the family had already declined significantly. If he were to teach Lin Yan a lesson today, regardless of whether the Wei family survived this incident, he would be finished. However, the Lin family would still exist, and at most, they would only lose an heir.
Seeing his bodyguards retreat, Lin Yan also lowered the hand that was holding his mask, letting out a sigh of relief. Although he was confident, he was also afraid that Wei Shaoting, like Song Botao, would act rashly after leaving the hospital!
"Speak, what is your purpose for coming this time? You're not just here to annoy me, are you?"
After figuring things out, Wei Shaoting didn't even dare to call Lin Yan by his name, fearing that the surrounding onlookers would recognize Lin Yan's identity.
"Clever. Young Master Wei, I am indeed here to annoy you. No, I'm here to congratulate you on your discharge from the hospital. They say Wei Hua of the Wei family is very smart, but I don't think so. You, Wei Shaoting, are the true genius, the truly smart person of the Wei family."
Lin Yan stood up from the bench, patted his trousers, and glanced at Li Wei. Li Wei shook his head, and Lin Yan's gaze returned to normal.
He hadn't come here to annoy Wei Shaoting, but to disgust the Wei family. However, annoying Wei Shaoting a little was also good.
