Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As per Xia Chen’s previous statement, the owner of this store has access to lower-cost suppliers, ensuring he makes a substantial profit from this piece of clothing.
Consider her two sons who toiled hard for just 200 yuan a month.
That amount only allowed them to purchase two pieces of clothing here.
Li Jin immediately smiled and a.s.sumed the demeanor of the clothing store owner.
She gazed arrogantly at the female attendant and said, “The owner of your store is my granddaughter. She has been working elsewhere for some time and has only just returned home. Knowing that she must be tired from the journey and hasn’t had the chance to visit home yet, we came to find her first.” “Where is she? Please ask her to come out and meet us.’
The female attendant looked at Li Jin in surprise, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
She didn’t expect her boss’s granddaughter to be so unrefined and uncultured.
Previously, Xia Ru used to boast in front of them, pretending to be n.o.ble, but now it seemed her background was quite ordinary.
The female attendant didn’t dare to say anything and simply replied, “The boss and the boss’s wife are currently taking a nap. Let me go wake them up.” After saying that, another attendant went upstairs to fetch Xia Ru.
Soon, Xia Ru and her boyfriend, Wen Shu, descended the stairs.
When Xia Ru saw Li Jin, Song Yan, Chen Lian, and Uncle Chen approaching, she was taken aback.
She shot a fierce glance at Xia Chen, and by now, Xia Ru understood that these people had been intentionally summoned by Xia Chen.
She forced a smile, greeted them politely, and said, “Grandmother, I had planned to settle down here first before returning to the village to see you. I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon after my return.”
“How about having a meal here today? Let my boyfriend, Wen Shu, treat everyone.” Xia Ru tugged at Wen Shu’s arm, and Wen Shu was also shocked at this moment.
He knew Xia Ru came from the countryside, but he didn’t expect her grandmother and mother to be so uneducated and rustic.
Their clothes appeared somewhat worn, their hair dry and lacking l.u.s.ter, and their skin not in the best condition. It was evident they had been working in the fields for a long time.
He originally thought that someone like Xia Ru, who appeared so fresh and refined, would at least come from a family with some level of sophistication.
If he had met Xia Ru’s relatives privately, Wen Shu wouldn’t have appeared so displeased. But unfortunately, this was happening in his store, with three
waitstaff present.
Today, when Li Jin and the others arrived, all the staff had seen them.
These staff members were also hired by him in the county town. While their education levels might be low, at least these three staff members were all from the county town, setting them apart from the people in the village.
Wen Shu just wanted to quickly escort these people out of his store now and said, “Certainly, I’ll take you all to have a meal.”
However, Xia Chen interjected, “Dining is not the primary concern right now. We’ve come here as Xia Ru’s maternal family, and we have some questions we’d like to clarify.”
Seeing Xia Chen’s confrontational stance, Wen Shu’s expression became even darker.
He glared at Xia Chen and said, “If I remember correctly, you’re merely Xia Ru’s cousin, and it seems your relationship isn’t amicable. What qualifications do you have to speak on behalf of Xia Ruts elders?”
Xia Chen wasn’t intimidated at all and continued, “I’m Xia Rut s father’s cousin, and as a male member of the family, I certainly have the right to ask you some questions. What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid of my questions because you can’t answer them?”
Wen Shu snorted, “I have nothing to fear. Go ahead and ask.”
Suddenly, Xia Ru had a bad feeling. She tugged at Wen Shu’s sleeve and reminded him, “Let’s discuss these matters at the restaurant first.”
But Xia Chen didn’t give him a chance to evade the situation. He continued, “You are more than ten years older than Xia Ru, and you are quite wealthy, so it’s impossible that you haven’t been married before.”
“I want to ask right now, are you divorced and interested in a relationship with Xia Ru, or have you not divorced at all and are just maintaining Xia Ru as a mistress?” Xia Chen’s question was sharp and direct, and after he finished speaking, Xia Ru’s face immediately turned ugly.
Wen Shu’s face also darkened..
