Chapter 1361: Fan
Pei Yan’s expression was horrible. She couldn’t swallow her anger after seeing how arrogant Xia Yingluo was!
If her uncle was here, he definitely wouldn’t want to see his junior shrinking back in the face of others! Pei Yan comforted herself and sternly instructed the followers around her. “Why aren’t you chasing her away?! Do you believe I’ll complain!”
The followers were bitter in their hearts.
They were all employees of a nearby coffee shop and only helped move the table and chair here for her to enjoy the cherry blossoms because Pei Yan had paid them; they even helped her chase someone away. However, they did not expect that they would encounter Xia Yingluo! Many people reacted when Pei Yan called out the name of the girl in front of her. Wasn’t she the Xia Yingluo who was so popular recently? The one who took the Huanisi cosmetics advertisement and also acted as the heroine of Star Wars Era! Her fairy-like face was really too beautiful and impressive. Coupled with that perfect family background and the gossip with the great movie king Jiang Yu, it would be difficult for people to not know her!
This girl’s identity was astonishing and threatening, so they didn’t want to offend her!
“Miss Pei Yan, just be it go…” Already some of the followers were trying to avoid any conflict. “It’s all a misunderstanding…”
“What a misunderstanding?!” Pei Yan glared at them furiously. “This is how your shop treats your customers? Let me tell you, I paid for it! Do you believe I’ll close your business down!”
They simply wanted to cry. They were just part-timers, it didn’t matter to them if the business was shut down. But their boss would surely not let them go if they made trouble for the business! They looked at each other helplessly and could only persuade Xia Yingluo sorrowfully. “Ms. Xia, you’re a big person, so please don’t fuss over it with us and just let Ms. Pei have her way. You see that the weather is so good today, why don’t you come to our store and have a cup of coffee? We’ll give you a discount, oh no, isn’t it okay if we give it away for free?”
“I want to enjoy the cherry blossoms here because the weather is good,” Xia Yingluo said with a smile.
She knew that these little part-timers didn’t have it easy, but who told them to upset her and directly drag her away from the chair? This was a lesson! “You all know who I am.” She lowered her hands and played with her fingernails, and the very polished nails glowed a cold white luster in the sun. “Then you naturally know what my family does. Trust me, Pei Yan can only destroy your business. But do you believe I’ll destroy your life in the city?”
They trembled in their hearts and remembered the rumors about the Li family.
Legend had it that the underground forces in this city were under the jurisdiction of the Li family. As long as they offended the Li family, they couldn’t even think about leaving the city intact! In contrast, the Pei family who was only serious in business was not a threat at all.
Weighing the pros and cons, they all made a decision. “Yes, Yes. Ms. Xia, we have offended you. You can stay wherever you want. Erm, we will not disturb you anymore. We’ll take our leave first.”
They apologized and laughed awkwardly and were about to take their leave.
“Stop!” Pei Yan was flushed with anger. “How could you do that!”
They didn’t want to be stopped by her, so they walked even faster.
Behind them, a clear calm voice sounded. “Stop.”
Those few people stood still immediately as if they had been electrocuted. It was Xia Yingluo’s voice.
“Ms. Xia, please spare us!” Those people were almost crying.
Xia Yingluo said calmly, “How can you go just like this? Take the garbage away too.” She raised her chin and pointed at Pei Yan.
“You called me garbage?!” Pei Yan’s face was twisted with anger.
“Yes, so what?” Xia Yingluo sneered and urged the part-timers. “Aren’t you hurrying up?!”
Those shop assistants really didn’t want to provoke Pei Yan, but under Xia Yingluo’s intimidation, they had no choice but to tremble and say to Pei Yan, “Ms. Pei, the wind is strong here. Why don’t you go into the shop and drink tea? We, we’ll give you a free order…”
“A bunch of trash!” Pei Yan scolded the shop assistants fiercely.
Xia Yingluo didn’t want to hear them quarrel and continued to urge. “What are you doing? Hurry up and get rid of the trash. Go to Skyart at night and find Tan Ying to receive a reward. Say that I ordered it.” If she wanted to make use of people, she had to give them rewards to satisfy them. In her previous life, she was the queen. And now, she followed her brother and father and was very skillful in using people.
The assistants couldn’t help but be overjoyed at that. They had some scruples at first, fearing that offending Pei Yan would cause serious misfortunes. But since Xia Yingluo said so, in front of the temptation of profit, all their concerns were left behind.
“Ms. Pei, please, don’t let us do it.” A clerk rubbed his hands and smiled, and several other clerks gathered around.
“Don’t touch me!” Pei Yan saw the circumstances and was about to explode in anger. But she was helpless. There were so many of them and she couldn’t beat or scold over them, so she could only give in. “I’ll go myself!”
“Why didn’t you just go sooner.” Xia Yingluo smiled.
Pei Yan looked at her resentfully. “Xia Yingluo, you wait!”
“Yes, I’ll wait,” Xia Yingluo answered painlessly. She smiled and watched Pei Yan walk out of the cherry forest angrily.
The quietness of the large cherry tree forest was restored, and the light pink petals gently fell on the old wicker chair like a layer of soft sand. She sat down on the old rattan chair, looked at the time and realized she had been arguing with Pei Yan for so long, but only a little more than ten minutes had passed. Jiang Yu still hadn’t returned.
There was only a rustle in the cherry blossoms.
She clasped her fingers and waited for Jiang Yu. Suddenly, the feeling that someone was secretly peering again came, and she turned back alertly, but didn’t see anything like the many times before. She was disappointed and a little reluctant. Was it really Wei Lingnan?
In a daze, she suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the cherry blossom forest and running towards her in excitement. “Xia Yingluo! Look, it’s really Xia Yingluo! That woman was right, Xia Yingluo is here!”
She looked at the scene in front of her and was shocked. What happened?
She saw a group of men and women, young, tall, thin, and fat. Some held ice creams in their hands, some held shopping bags, and their eyes were bright as if they couldn’t wait to throw themselves onto her. They were all shouting in a mess—
“Xia Yingluo! Sign for me!”
“Xia Yingluo! I love you!”
“The Star Wars Era was so beautiful, let’s shake hands, Xia Yingluo!”
Then, she realized that they were a group of fans.
It wasn’t surprising that she took a while to understand it. Although she was born in an entertainment family from a young age, her official debut as a celebrity was the most recent thing. It was normal to have never experienced such a battle before.
But how did they know she was here?
