CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 358: LOOKING DOWN ON OTHERS

Scared? Oh right, why didn’t I think of it before? The purpose of these sneaky moves around me is to rattle my mind and cause mistakes, leading to casualties among Ye and Wen Family members, severing the marriage alliance between the Luos and the Yes. This shows that the enemy is terrified of the three families banding together!

Those who lurk in the shadows, they do things that can’t see the light of day. I believe evil fears good and ultimately cannot triumph over righteousness.

What I need to do is to take hold of everything I currently have, do as much as I can handle, not meddle in things that aren’t my concern. Mr. Wen and Old Master Ye are no pushovers; it’s not my turn to fret over these trifles!

Once I’ve come to terms with it, my mood improves and my voice naturally becomes more cheerful: "Ye Xuan, I’ll leave this matter to you. In a bit, I’ll call Li Ruotong and tell her to give you the diary directly; it’s really inconvenient for me to handle it."

"Okay, I’ll keep in touch with you. As for Aunt Lin, don’t mention anything to her. Once Fan Rui’s cover is blown, her relationship with Yaoyuan will be severed too. Let’s just pretend we don’t know."

"Right, that’s what I thought too. So, I’m going to hang up..."

"Wait!" Ye Xuan urgently said.

"Is there anything else?" Luo Ye slapped her forehead hard. "Is Auntie still in the hospital? Say hello to her for me; it’s not very convenient for me to visit."

Ye Xuan’s voice deepened: "It’s not that. What did you call me earlier? Hm?"

"What did I call you..." Luo Ye pondered, touching her forehead. "Don’t you think ’Ye Xuan’ sounds closer than ’Brother Ye’?"

"I don’t think so. The key issue is when you say my name, the tone is all business. Tell me, shouldn’t you be punished?" Ye Xuan chuckled. "Your punishment is to have lunch with me and my mother tomorrow!"

Luo Ye replied awkwardly: "That’s not good. I’ve already made plans to meet up with my classmates at Grandpa’s house tomorrow noon. It wouldn’t be right for me to be absent."

"I see..." Ye Xuan’s voice carried a hint of disappointment: "Then have a good time, I’ll invite mom myself. I’ll call you later."

"Sorry about that..." Luo Ye said apologetically: "I didn’t expect Auntie would come. The get-together at Grandpa’s house was arranged a long time ago, and there’s a necessary reason for it... I can’t cancel it..."

"There’s no need to feel troubled," Ye Xuan interrupted, "It’s my lack of consideration. It’s rare for you all to have a holiday together, you should enjoy it. There will be plenty of other opportunities to meet; missing one time won’t matter."

"When is Auntie going back? And..." Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "How is Qiao Xiaowan doing now?"

"My mother and Colonel Lin are waiting for Qiao Xiaowan’s situation to clear up before returning. As for Qiao Xiaowan, her health isn’t an issue anymore, but she keeps silent. We’ve already informed her parents; they should arrive by tonight. Ye’er..." Ye Xuan changed the topic: "If anyone dares use this incident against you, I’ll never let them off!"

Luo Ye chuckled lightly: "You don’t have the slightest doubt about me?"

"Never. Even if I witnessed you holding the medicine bag, I wouldn’t believe you did it. This is not Ye’er’s style of doing things." Ye Xuan asserted.

"It’s Sister Qingzhu and the others investigating, right?"

"Yes, but so far, Qiao Xiaowan hasn’t said anything. Based on my understanding of her, she must be pondering something." Ye Xuan paused: "Ye’er, she might try to turn the tables. Don’t worry. If she has a cunning plan, I have the means to counter. A play is only good when fully acted out."

"I know." Luo Ye laughed lightly. "I know all that."

"You know?" Ye Xuan also started to laugh: "Right, you’re so smart; of course, you know. Alright, weren’t you busy shopping with Xing Nong and the others? Go on, enjoy yourself and don’t think about anything else."

"You..." Luo Ye hesitated a moment: "Do you think I’m being too... too wicked?"

"For people like her, she must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, she’ll hop around you like a flea, being annoying and irksome." Ye Xuan spoke with a laugh in his attractive voice: "Ye’er, I’m glad you’re not pretending with me."

"Would pretending work? Who can hide their true self from you?" Luo Ye laughed: "I’m well aware of my own limitations. I won’t talk anymore. Call Li Ruotong after five minutes, and remember, don’t be seduced by her beauty, or else beware of my family’s punishment!"

"You little thing, just you wait..."

But Luo Ye didn’t wait for Ye Xuan to finish speaking and quickly hung up the phone. Her cheeks were flushed; she could easily guess the meaning behind his words. Ah, it’s all because of her loose tongue, what was she showing off for?

...

Furma Home Furnishing City had different grades of furniture divided into specific zones. There weren’t many people around. Luo Ye entered and immediately spotted Xing Nong, Luo Lian, and Yaoguang. She quickly walked over and asked, "How’s the selection going?"

Xing Nong draped an arm over her shoulder with a ruffian-like air: "That was quite a long phone call. What were you doing with your boyfriend? Come on, give us a debrief."

Luo Ye pushed her away: "Cut it out, I’m asking about serious stuff."

Xing Nong leaned in and whispered: "Serious stuff is, we’ve been looking for ages. The old salespeople ignore us. The younger salespeople were attentive for a bit, but then were sent by the old ones to get drinks. Luo Lian decided to identify all the things she wants and then deal directly with their manager to place the order, just to infuriate that woman! Firm in making her livid!"

Luo Ye followed Xing Nong’s gaze and sure enough, a woman in her forties, a saleswoman, was staring at them coldly, a look of contempt clearly etched on her face. It seemed like they were not here to buy furniture but more like they were about to steal it.

"You and Yaoguang wear a camouflage outfit..." Luo Ye smirked wickedly: "Nowadays even construction workers wear camouflage. Lianlian’s casual outfit probably can’t catch their eyes either. In her view, you three should head to the nearby bulk market—it’s already not too bad that she hasn’t kicked you out. Be content."

"Her? Kick me out?" Xing Nong curled her lip: "If she dares to kick me out, I’ll dare to call Eldest Young Master Wu. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m worried that Male Emperor will do it for free, I would have called to trash-talk him already. What kind of quality is this for a saleswoman they hired? It’s embarrassing and nauseating just to look at it, look at that—her face is almost dragging on the ground, and her eyeballs are about to flip out, and those lips are so red it’s like she’s eaten dead babies. That..."

"Stop, stop!" Luo Ye quickly interrupted: "The more you talk, the more out of line you get, if I wasn’t here, I would really think you’ve seen a vampire."

Xing Nong rolled her eyes and sat down heavily on a bed nearby, feigning collapse: "Don’t flatter her. Are vampires this ugly?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" The female vampire was displeased and walked over with a gloomy face: "Are you clean? This bed costs over a thousand, will you pay if it gets dirty?"

"Ma’am..."

"Who are you calling ma’am?" the woman interrupted Xing Nong.

"Sister..."

Xing Nong paused, gauging the woman’s expression, and after hesitating for a bit, peered at her nametag and tentatively said: "Wang Yanli little sister..."

"Pfft!"

Luo Ye and Yaoguang burst out laughing at the same time. Luo Lian, who had been curiously looking at cabinets in the distance, walked over: "What’s going on? Why are you having so much fun?"

"The show’s over, get moving and don’t interfere with our business." The saleswoman named Wang Yanli frowned in disgust at Xing Nong: "Why aren’t you getting up?"

"Why should I get up from my own bed?" Xing Nong pouted and looked at Luo Lian: "Lianlian, have you noted down what to order?"

"Yes, all noted. We’ll take three beds for now, three wardrobes, a small dining table, a large dining table, and thirty chairs..."

"That’s enough. Just because you enjoy talking doesn’t mean you are a customer. Stop causing trouble and get up." Wang Yanli yanked at Xing Nong: "I’ve never seen anyone as uncivilized as you."

"To be honest, if not for the fact that your store’s furniture is of good quality and reasonably priced, we would have left already." Luo Lian gave Wang Yanli a cold glance: "Someone like you, if you were in France, you would never find a job!"

"Heh..." Wang Yanli laughed exaggeratedly: "Young lady, don’t think I don’t know what you are up to. I’ve seen plenty of people from the industry come to copy our prices. Let me tell you, Furma’s furniture is all produced by our own factory, no matter how much you try, you can’t beat our prices. I’m kind to let you stay without kicking you out, and yet you still won’t leave. Go on, get moving!"

"Alright, we will leave, I hope you won’t regret it." Xing Nong made a face at her and pulled Luo Lian toward the office area.

"What are you doing? The office area is off-limits to unrelated people." Wang Yanli rushed in front and pointed at the doorway: "The exit is over there!"

Luo Lian frowned: "You, woman, are really persistent. Are you making it clear that even if we want to buy, you won’t sell to us, is that it?"

Wang Yanli arched her eyebrows and her lips curled up in a mocking smile: "Alright then, I’ll draw up an invoice for you right now, if anyone refuses to buy, may she never get married for the rest of her life!"

Luo Lian snorted: "Even if I were to buy, I wouldn’t buy from you. I want to speak to your manager."

"Seeking our manager is the same as seeking me, he’s my husband. I’ll go and fetch him for you now, and let me tell you, if you don’t buy today, you’ll never get married in this lifetime!" The woman then shouted to another saleswoman in a different area: "Yuanyuan, keep an eye out for me, I’m going to call old Miao down."

"Go ahead, leave this to me." The girl called Yuanyuan hurriedly ran over and smiled at the group: "Sister Wang is our manager’s wife."

"Your manager’s wife working as a saleswoman?" Xing Nong looked puzzled.

"Our manager used to be the manager of Bai Anju. After the Bai Anju Yanhua Road Store closed down, he came to Furma Yanhua Road Store, and it hasn’t been long since he took the position." Yuanyuan smiled: "Guests, please don’t be upset. Sister Wang is just unhappy because Manager Miao has assigned her here. It’s not personal against you."

Luo Ye nodded: "Got it, she’s targeting all customers."
