Lin Manqing reached out and pressed Yang Lili's hand on the table. Although the table was across the table, her movements were very graceful.
Boss Yang couldn't figure out how this woman could do it so gracefully and so fast?
In terms of appearance, I, my niece, can be considered to have exquisite facial features, and in terms of figure, it makes the men on the street lose their eyes. I also invested a lot of money in her, and tried my best to package her up to look like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Only then did he win Rong Guangjie's favor.
But compared with the woman in front of me, I always felt that I owed something. She looked so rustic, she was just a country girl who had just moved into the city.
Yang Lili wanted to pull her hand out, but she tried several times, but couldn't pull it out, so she became angry and said angrily: "Let go!"
Lin Manqing's hand slipped from the back of Yang Lili's hand, and Yang Lili was able to get rid of it, but the bracelet fell into Lin Manqing's hand.
"Give me the bracelet!" Yang Lili said loudly.
"This is not your thing." Lin Manqing said.
"That's not your thing either."
"How do you know it's not mine?"
"You..." Yang Lili was speechless.
Boss Yang saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he came over and pulled Yang Lili away.
He has been doing business in Panjiayuan for so many years, and he knows who can and cannot be offended here. He is not afraid of shop owners like Hou Qigui. We are all peers, who can be stronger than others? But the customers who come to the store are different.
Who knows where he's coming from, maybe he's a dignitary you can't afford to offend.
Judging from Lin Manqing's appearance, her clothes are very simple, but her temperament is extraordinary. Boss Yang can't understand her origins.
"This lady may have misunderstood." Boss Yang handed over his hand, "My surname is Yang, and he also owns a shop here. The shop is right next to it. I have an old friendship with Boss Hou here, and this Miss Lily has taken a liking to this place.
Just a bracelet, Boss Hou and I have already made an agreement to pick it up today. If Miss, you don’t believe me, you can come to my shop and have a chat."
Lin Manqing said: "I don't care whether you have reached an agreement or not. The boss is not here. As long as I am here, I have the responsibility to take good care of things here."
"Huh, who are you, and what qualifications do you have to help the boss look at things?" Yang Lili said dissatisfied.
"I am a friend of Boss Hou." Lin Manqing said.
Boss Yang was a little unsure of Lin Manqing's identity, so he asked tentatively: "This lady is very unfamiliar. I haven't seen her before. She doesn't come to Panjiayuan often, right?"
"My first time here."
"This is your first time. Do you often go to Liulichang?"
"I've never been to Liulichang."
"Ah? Then where did you and Lao Hou trade? It couldn't be in the ghost market, right?" Boss Yang squinted at Lin Manqing.
Lin Manqing knew that Boss Yang was trying to trick her, but she didn't care and said, "Boss Hou and I have only known each other for a few days, and we haven't done any transactions."
Boss Yang breathed a sigh of relief. That was enough. No matter where Lin Manqing came from, he and Hou Qigui had only known each other for a few days and had never done any business, so their friendship was not deep.
"Miss, we are in a hurry, please give us the bracelet. I will tell Lao Hou later that there is such a big store next to me and he will not lie to you."
"No." Lin Manqing said resolutely, "Don't say you can't take it away when Boss Hou is not here. Even if he comes back, you can't take it away."
"Why?"
"Because he has already promised me this bracelet."
"What?" Boss Yang was surprised, "Impossible! He obviously refused to give this bracelet... He promised it to Miss Lily, how could he promise it to you?"
"This is none of my business, and I have no obligation to explain it to you."
Lin Manqing always spoke in a leisurely manner, showing how noble and elegant she was, which made Yang Lili furious.
"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking to her about? Wouldn't it be over if you just take it away!"
No matter how much Boss Yang hesitated, he slapped the table and said to Lin Manqing:
"Give me the bracelet! Tell the man surnamed Hou that I, Yang Lili, got it. If he has any objections, please go to Rong Guangjie."
Lin Manqing smiled slightly: "You have nothing to say to me. I am not Boss Hou, and I have no obligation to help you convey the message. I can't give you the bracelet."
Yang Lili was almost driven crazy by Lin Manqing's slow elegance. She pointed at her and said:
"I'm going to order the bracelet! I'll count to three. If you don't give it to me, you won't be able to keep your face! It'll be scratched and ruined by then. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"One...two..."
Boss Yang was still a little worried and said: "Lily..."
But Yang Lili was furious at this moment, and her eyes could no longer tolerate Lin Manqing's perfect face.
"Uncle, don't worry about it. I can't stand her condescending attitude. What the hell! Smelly bitch..."
As soon as she cursed these three words, she received a slap on the face.
A red palm print was printed on her face, with thick powder bulging on the edge of the palm print.
Yang Lili was stunned for a moment. She held her face and widened her eyes. It took her a long time to realize:
"You...you...you hit me!"
Lin Manqing was still sitting there elegantly, holding the gold and jade bracelet in her hand, as if she had never done anything, and said lightly:
"Keep your mouth clean from now on. If it gets so dirty again, don't talk anymore."
Boss Yang was also a little confused. He didn't understand how this could happen. It was obviously Yang Lili who wanted to take action, so why was he beaten first?
He has realized that the woman in front of him is not simple.
But now that the matter has come to this point, there is no room for change. He knows Yang Lili's character very well. Even her mother has not dared to hit her since she was a child. She will fight back if she hits her. Only Rong Guangjie can restrain her.
Fortunately, behind Yang Lili is Rong Guangjie, and behind Rong Guangjie is Master Qin. No matter what the background of the woman in front of her is, even if she is a member of the Four Families, she must give Master Qin face.
"Bodyguard!" Yang Lili was already shouting, "Are you all blind? Didn't you see her hit me?"
The two bodyguards then stepped forward and pounced on Lin Manqing like tigers.
But I don’t know what happened. As soon as they took two steps forward, their feet got mixed up. One leaned forward, the other slid sideways, bumped into each other, and fell to the ground again.
Just as they got up from the ground, there was another thud, their heads hit each other and they fell to the ground again.
Yang Lili was stunned and cursed: "Trash! Rong Guangjie, what kind of trash did you send me!"
…
Hou Qigui carried the bag and came to a shop next to the west gate.
He stood at the door, straightened his clothes, looked at the bag in his hand, and then strode in.
A young clerk was leaning on the recliner next to the coffee table, checking his cell phone. When he saw him come in, he just glanced at him and did not get up to say hello.
Hou Qigui knew that although Rong Guangjie's shop was open, it only accepted distinguished customers.
He said to the clerk: "Excuse me, is Fourth Master here? Please inform me that Hou Qigui is here to visit Master Rong and Fourth Master Wang."
The clerk then looked at him a few times, stood up and said, "The fourth master said that a woman would come to see him. Why is it a man?"
"Hey, that's my friend." Hou Qigui said.
"Come with me."
The clerk took Hou Qigui into the tea room inside. Wang Baishun and Rong Guangjie were drinking tea.
When Wang Baishun saw Hou Qigui, he was a little disappointed and did not invite him to sit down. He only said: "Isn't this Boss Hou? What do you want from me?"
Hou Qigui said: "My friend's ring is a wedding ring, and it is really inconvenient to sell it. I would like to ask the fourth master to show his respect and be generous and let my friend go."
"Hahahaha..." Wang Baishun laughed, "Give me some face? Hou Qigui, who are you? Why should I give you face?"
