Chapter 173 Happy New Year’s Day
After the staff announced the successful conclusion of the opening ceremony, everyone rushed towards the entrance of Linlang Pavilion, showing great eagerness.
Just when everyone thought today would be a day of great sales, one person blocked their path to wealth.
"Hey, where are you all going?" Su Feng stood at the door, one foot on the doorframe, exuding an air of arrogance.
"Sir, is there anything else you need?" the shop assistant asked politely.
"Need? I do! Give me that piece of imperial green jade that you just offered," Su Feng said matter-of-factly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
What do you mean by "giving away"? It means getting something for free without paying a single penny!
The shop assistant turned the headset volume up to the maximum and stepped forward humbly and politely, saying, "Sir, our manager said that it's not impossible to give it away for free."
Upon hearing this, Su Feng's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together eagerly.
"Since that's the case, why waste so much time talking? Hurry up and give it to me!" Su Feng rushed up to the female shop assistant, seemingly about to forcibly take it.
The female shop assistant, showing no fear whatsoever, smiled slightly and remained as respectful as ever.
"But our manager asked me to ask you... why?"
Su Feng's smile froze on his face, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Why should I? It's because I forced you to open this stone. Otherwise, how could you have found such a good quality stone? What, are you going to turn your back on me now?" Su Feng crossed his arms and looked down at the female shop assistant.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Isn't this blatant robbery? Su Feng truly lives up to his reputation for committing all sorts of evil deeds, including rape, plunder, and robbery!
"Sir, you're so old, aren't you ashamed of what you're saying? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you look like someone who's been given a free imperial green jade pendant?"
Qi Mo on the second floor: "..." I hadn't even said anything yet, how did she start speaking freely?
Perhaps Su Feng was too shameless, and even a normal person couldn't stand it.
"Alright, watch your words. Don't let other customers think that all the staff at Linlang Pavilion are aggressive."
The female shop assistant downstairs darkened her eyes slightly and remained silent.
Su Feng seemed to be enraged and actually attacked the female shop assistant.
"Hey, Second Master Su, isn't this beneath you? To lay a hand on a woman is hardly a respectable act!"
"Exactly. Don't they know how old they are? It's fine if they want to act like an old man, but acting like a spoiled brat is disgusting."
People voiced their dissatisfaction, and some even stepped forward to pull the female shop assistant behind them to protect her.
What they fear is the Su family that possesses Su Yuchen, not Su Feng who lives off the Su family's reputation.
They didn't want to cause trouble by avoiding conflict with him, but they had plenty of ways to deal with a powerless freeloader!
"Are you blind? Don't you know who I am? Believe me or not, I'll have your companies bought up!" Su Feng said angrily.
"Su Feng, stop pretending to be all high and mighty. When you got into trouble, besides your eighty-year-old grandmother, did you see anyone else care about you?"
"If the Su family were to lose Su Yuchen, they wouldn't even be considered a third-rate family. Someone who goes against Su Yuchen, do you really expect Su Yuchen to step in and protect you? Let me tell you, I've already called the police!" someone in the crowd shouted at Su Feng.
What he hated most in his life was that everyone compared him to Su Yuchen. What right did a bastard have to compare himself to him?
"Fine, I'll remember your faces. Your wives and children will all die at my hands. You just wait!" Su Feng said through gritted teeth.
After making those harsh remarks, Su Feng panicked as he heard the police sirens getting closer and closer outside. He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and left.
Although he was a frequent visitor to the police station, he always suffered a bit every time he was arrested. He was over forty years old; how could he possibly withstand that kind of ordeal?
Especially since that old geezer at home was ignoring him, he couldn't do anything to upset him anymore. While that old geezer was still alive, he had to make plans as soon as possible.
Su Feng's incident was like a minor episode, and it was quickly forgotten by everyone. Many people were very fond of Linlang Pavilion. If a small shop assistant could be so humble and fearless of power, how could the store's reputation be bad?
People kept coming into the store, and they all left carrying large bags and small purchases.
On its first day of operation, Linlang Pavilion made a fortune, easily becoming a miracle that later generations flocked to emulate but could never match.
Seeing that Linlang Pavilion was starting to get on track, Yun Yao quietly left through the back door while everyone was busy.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a car that was all too familiar to her, and... the person coming towards her.
A camel-colored scarf was wrapped warmly around Yun Yao's slender swan neck, and a knot was awkwardly tied at the end.
"It's cold, so wear more clothes if you're not driving."
Listening to the man's deep and pleasant voice, like a cello, Yun Yao's eyes softened with tenderness.
"Why are you here?" Yun Yao asked, looking up.
"Just passing by."
Just passing by? This place has absolutely nothing to do with your Yonsei International!
However, Yun Yao didn't expose him. According to the twelfth wise saying in her love manual, "For someone who loves you, everything is on the way."
Thinking this way, Yun Yao felt relieved and took Su Yuchen's hand, running towards the car.
"It's freezing! Let's get out of here!"
On the way back to Tianzhu Huafu, Su Yuchen suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Yun Yao turned her head and asked.
"happy New Year."
As soon as Su Yuchen finished speaking, as if timed perfectly, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, making it seem as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world.
Yun Yao was slightly taken aback, looking at Su Yuchen's perfect and exquisite profile, her heart stirred slightly.
This was the first time in all these years that she had received New Year's greetings.
"Thank you, you too, Happy New Year," Yun Yao said softly.
Su Yuchen nodded slightly and started the car again.
Yun Yao could sense Su Yuchen's low spirits. He was fine just a moment ago, what happened now?
It's only a 20-minute drive from here to Tianzhu Huafu, but we kept stopping and starting along the way.
Yun Yao had noticed Su Yuchen's hesitation long ago, and finally couldn't hold back when she stopped the car for the third time.
"Su Yuchen, what's wrong?"
Yun Yao has the ability to see through people's hearts, but after so long, she still can't see through Su Yuchen's heart.
Under Yun Yao's insistence, Su Yuchen finally voiced his concerns.
"Yun Yao, is it true that a person's lifespan is only a hundred years?"
Looking at Su Yuchen's serious and earnest face, Yun Yao felt a dull ache in her heart for some reason.
Normally, Yun Yao would have told him without even thinking that yes, a person's lifespan is only a hundred years, or even a hundred years is a luxury.
But at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Maybe...it might be." This was the answer Yun Yao gave after hesitating for a moment.
