Chapter 36 Miss Zhou Causes a Scene at the Gold Shop

"Bring out that gold lock, your store's prized possession, I'll buy it."

The waiter was displeased to see the woman belittling her idol. Seeing that the gold lock she wanted had already been sold, he coldly said, "I'm sorry, miss, the gold lock you wanted has already been sold."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the woman angrily raised her hand and slapped the waiter hard across the face. "How dare you sell the gold lock I had my eye on?"

The waiter was stunned by the blow, covering his face with his hands, still unable to react.

At this moment, the manager, who had heard the commotion, ran over. Upon seeing the waiter being beaten and the woman's fierce expression, he knew what had happened.

"Miss Zhou, the new waitress is a bit rude. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

"Manager Chen, you've come at the right time. I need an explanation. Why did you sell the gold lock I had my eye on? Didn't I tell you I had reserved it?"

Ms. Zhou crossed her arms and pointed angrily at Manager Chen's nose.

Manager Chen knew this woman was not someone to be trifled with. She had indeed come to look at gold a few days ago, and he had personally entertained her and introduced her to the Tranquilizing Treasure Gold Lock. However, Miss Zhou showed little interest this time and simply said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

So many days had passed, and they thought she didn't want it anymore. Finally, a wealthy buyer wanted it; how could he refuse? Who would have thought that no sooner had the gold lock been sold than Miss Zhou came back wanting it? This whole affair…

"How about you take a look at something else, Miss Zhou? All the gold in our store is genuine, and to make up for it, I'll give you a 20% discount. What do you think, Miss Zhou?"

"Bullshit! Do I look like someone who's short of money? Do I need you to give me a discount? I don't care, I want that gold lock. You have to bring it out for me today! Even if you have to sell it, you have to buy it back for me!" Miss Zhou said arrogantly.

Xue Bai and Chu Xinglan glanced at the arrogant and domineering Miss Zhou, not wanting to get entangled with her any longer, and not caring that she had bumped into someone earlier, and turned to leave.

Forced into a corner, Manager Chen blocked their path and gave an awkward smile.

"Gentlemen, as you can see, this gold lock originally belonged to Miss Zhou, but it was sold by an unsuspecting waiter. How about I offer you a little more money and you sell it to us? Is that alright?"

Chu Xinglan could tell that Manager Chen was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. He didn't dare to offend Miss Zhou, so he shifted all the blame onto others. The waitress could just accept the slap; it was just bad luck for her. Besides, he wanted the gold lock back from her.

She knew that doing business wasn't easy for him, and she could overlook other things, but she really liked this gold lock. In fact, the fact that Gu Ye entrusted this task to her meant that it was also very important to him. She couldn't just give him any random gift as a favor; this gold lock was the most suitable gift, as it was neither stingy nor lacking in meaning. She would never hand over the gold lock.

Before Chu Xinglan could even speak, Miss Zhou stormed up to her again, sneering, "So it's you, this poor girl who came from who-knows-where in the countryside. This gold lock costs over 100,000. Do you have that much money? Did you empty your pockets for this gold lock?"

Xue Bai's face darkened. Looking at the heavily made-up woman, he really wanted to slap her.

"Please watch your mouth."

"Oh, so you have a knight in shining armor?" Miss Zhou glanced coldly at Xue Bai, still sneering disdainfully. "You're dressed quite well, are you wearing counterfeit goods? Trying to pretend to be rich? I've never seen you in high society before."

The waiter knew who Miss Zhou was, and that she was an arrogant and domineering young lady. Many people would avoid her in fear. Fearing that Miss Zhou would make things difficult for Xue Bai, she hurriedly said, "Sir, please take this young lady and leave first!"

"Trying to leave? You've taken my things, how can you possibly leave?" Miss Zhou blocked Xue Bai and Chu Xinglan's path.

"How can this be yours? I've already paid for it, so it's ours!" Chu Xinglan said unhappily.

"I said it's mine, so it's mine. You better be smart and hand over the gold lock."

Miss Zhou was aggressive, and as she spoke, she tried to snatch it from Chu Xinglan's hands.

"Let go!" Xue Bai grabbed Miss Zhou's wrist and pushed her away.

Miss Zhou was startled. She stared at Xue Bai with wide eyes and fierce gaze.

"How dare you lay a hand on me?"

Xue Bai was stunned. When did he make a move? He just gently pushed Chu Xinglan to prevent her from hurting her. How could that be considered making a move?

"Security, come quick! Someone's been assaulted! Arrest them immediately!" Ms. Zhou seized the opportunity to vent her anger.

Several security guards rushed over and saw Manager Chen there. Not knowing what was going on, they looked at Manager Chen.

Manager Chen didn't dare offend Miss Zhou, so he went along with her wishes and secretly nodded to the security guard.

Several security guards then surrounded Xue Bai and Chu Xinglan.

Did you guys physically assault them?

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. If you insist on saying she hit someone, then it was her who hit us. We bought things peacefully, paid for them, and had the right to take them. What reason does she have to steal them?"

The security guards who were about to take action were also intimidated by Chu Xinglan; they couldn't afford to offend either of them.

"My surname is Zhou, and that gives me a reason. What right do you, a country bumpkin, have to take such good things? If you know what's good for you, hand them over, or you'll regret it." Miss Zhou spoke with an arrogant air.

"I'm really curious, how do you want to make us look bad?" Chu Xinglan retorted sarcastically.

"A country bumpkin like her, so ignorant of her own mortality!" Miss Zhou said angrily, raising her hand as if to slap Chu Xinglan across the face, just like she would a waitress.

But before she could even touch Chu Xinglan, Xue Bai grabbed her wrist.

"You still dare to lay a hand on me?" Miss Zhou glared angrily at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai didn't want to hit a woman, but Miss Zhou was really lacking in discipline, so he slapped her across the face.

Everyone present was stunned, even Miss Zhou looked astonished.

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to lay a hand on her, but this kid, who came from who-knows-where, actually hit her in front of so many people.

"You dare hit me?" Miss Zhou's fair face had clear five-finger marks. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands and stared at Xue Bai in disbelief.

"So what if I hit you?" Xue Bai wouldn't tolerate him. Except in front of his boss, he had never felt wronged in his life.

Chu Xinglan turned back to look at Xue Bai in surprise, secretly applauding him in her heart.

I never expected Assistant Xue to be such a man. It's really unfair to treat him like a sister. He's a good brother!
