How Could Xie Cheng'en Bear Such Provocation?
Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said, "Hmph! The rage of an incompetent man. Just because you want to marry me, does that mean I have to? Stop dreaming."
The young masters from prominent families couldn't help but retort, "Our Young Master Xie has no problem getting anyone he desires."
"I've heard that Young Master Xie has many female confidantes, tsk tsk tsk..."
"He is a role model for us all, and this little girl actually says he is incompetent. How ridiculous!"
Zhou Wanwan sighed and said::
"Some things don't need me to say more; it's because I've been with countless women that I got this disease."
"What are you doing at such a young age? Spending all your time with women. You're only 10 and you're already like this! Sigh! Poor thing!"
Xie Cheng'en Chengen roared, "Men, give this brat a good beating on the mouth, smash her mouth to pieces!"
I called for a long time, but there was no response from outside.
Xie Cheng'en said angrily, "Are those guards outside deaf? Get out here right now, or I'll tell my father!"
There was still no sound outside.
Zhou Wanwan propped her head up and looked at him, saying:
"Young Master Xie, are you kidding me? Didn't you say you were going to slap me?"
Hurry up! I'm sitting right here waiting for you.
Xie Cheng'en couldn't bear such a provocation.
He stormed up to Zhou Wanwan, ready to take action himself.
The old man next to him made a move and threw him out of the second-floor window. Then he glanced indifferently at the young masters from wealthy families.
The young masters from wealthy families trembled with fear and asked, "What do we do?"
"How the hell am I supposed to know what to do? Who on earth is this person? How can they be so powerful?"
"Sir, we were wrong, please forgive us!"
The old man sneered and said, "Get out of here, all of you! Do you know how to get out?"
All those scions of noble families lay prone on the ground and slowly rolled away.
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and slowly walked downstairs. She saw Xie Cheng'en groaning and getting up, yelling, "Where are you all? Where are you all? Where have you all gone? Aren't you going to come out and help me up? Do you believe I'll kill you all?"
He called out for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.
Xie Cheng'en looked around and found that none of the guards around him were there.
He roared angrily, "You bunch of damned dogs, just wait until I get back and tell everyone!"
He patted his pockets and said, "Huh? Where are the herbs? They've disappeared!"
Zhou Wanwan came out with the group of young masters from wealthy families. Cheng Chao stood next to Zhou Wanwan, as obedient as a quail. "Is there anything else you want to buy? I'll pay for it for you now."
Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:
"Then let's go take a look at that shop over there, isn't that a gold shop?"
Let me see if there's any good jewelry inside.
Zhou Qingzhou's lips twitched as he said:
"Zhou Wanwan, don't go too far. Where would my young master get so much money?"
"Buying you gold jewelry? You really dare to say that."
Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said, "Cheng Chao, keep an eye on your servants."
Cheng Chao glared fiercely at Zhou Qingzhou and said:
"You clueless idiot, if you keep doing this, get out of here."
Didn't you see how hard your young master tried to curry favor with Zhou Wanwan?
Can't you see that your young master is trying his best to be a good dog?
Who do you think you are, ordering people around like that?
Zhou Qingzhou lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. Was his young master really a little off?
Should he tell the master then?
As soon as Zhou Wanwan stepped into the jewelry store, she leaned over the counter and examined each piece one by one.
Ancient gold ornaments are different from modern ones. They don't have the rigidity of mass-produced by machines; they are all hammered out by craftsmen, one hammer blow at a time.
Even the simplest design has incredibly finely engraved patterns, making it look more substantial and meticulously crafted than modern gold jewelry.
She looked around, shook her head, and felt that they were all too ordinary, none of them suited her taste.
The shopkeeper immediately came over with a smile and said:
"Girl, are you not interested in these?"
These are all ordinary items. If you don't mind, we have some rare treasures hidden away in the back room.
Cheng Chao immediately said, "Bring out all your most valuable possessions!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly went in himself and soon brought out a vermilion lacquered and gold tray covered with soft apricot-colored brocade.
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw the gold jewelry inside.
The shopkeeper quickly came forward, smiling broadly as he introduced each item:
"Young lady, look, these are our store's best treasures. They're usually kept inside and not taken out easily."
This is a red gold bracelet with a floral pattern; wearing it exudes elegance and Fugui.
This is a phoenix bracelet inlaid with pearls in pure gold, and this is a hollowed-out longevity bracelet in pure gold. They are not very suitable for you; they are more suitable for older people.
This is a bright gold and kingfisher feather inlay butterfly hairpin; the colors are vibrant and quite suitable for you.
This is a red gold filigree hairpin with pearls, made of fine gold wire and inlaid with pearls.
This is a lotus hairpin inlaid with gemstones in pure gold. It features a lotus design and is simple yet elegant.
There's also a pure gold peace lock, meant to bring peace and safety; it can be worn by both adults and children.
The last item is a pure gold necklace inlaid with rubies. The material is substantial, and the rubies give it a particularly luxurious feel.
Suddenly, they heard the ladies around them laughing. Wen Zhiyu and Lu Lan were standing nearby.
Wen Zhiyu covered her mouth and laughed:
"Hey! Isn't this Zhou Wanwan? What have you been up to lately?"
I heard you live deep in the mountains now, how can you afford these things?
Lu Lan couldn't help but laugh, "A mere village girl dares to come to a shop like this? She's really overestimating herself."
Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "I can come and go as I please, what's it to you?"
Wen Zhiyu smiled faintly and said, "It's indeed none of my business, but this shop belongs to the Lu Family."
Lu Lan smiled and said:
"Zhou Wanwan, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. What are you looking at if you can't afford it?"
This is a waste of everyone's time; my boss's time is extremely valuable.
The shopkeeper also shouted loudly:
"You little brat, judging by your tone, I thought you were a rich girl!"
She turned out to be just a country girl living in the mountains! Tsk tsk, how ridiculous! Does she know how expensive our shop is?
Look at what you're wearing! It's utterly indecent. Get out of here, I don't do business with people like you.
Cheng Chao shouted, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? You have no sense of propriety at all! I'm paying here, who dares to be disrespectful?"
Wen Zhiyu looked at Cheng Chao and said:
"Cheng Chao, are you out of your mind?"
I remember Zhou Wanwan hurt you before, right? And you're still siding with her?
Cheng Chao glanced at her indifferently and said, "You don't know anything. Anyway, I bought Zhou Wanwan whatever she wanted today."
Lu Lan said sarcastically:
"Cheng Chao, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on Zhou Wanwan, would you?"
What good could you expect from marrying a country girl like that?
Besides, would your mother agree?
I heard that our two families have been discussing marriage recently. If you pay Zhou Wanwan today, our marriage will be called off.
