Arrogant and impolite, full of provocative intent.
Tang Wan's expression remained unchanged, but the owner's face immediately turned red. His merchandise couldn't compare to luxury goods, but to openly call it cheap was to slap him in the face.
"Tang Miss, why don't you speak?" She smiled as she looked toward Tang Wan.
She bowed her head and fiddled with the ribbon, remaining silent. She had the appearance of someone gentle and quiet, looking obedient and the type to endure in silence even when aggrieved.
"I heard that the Jiang Family's old lady is quite fond of you and even wants you to marry into the Jiang Family?"
"You Tangs might be someone in Pingjiang, but here, you are nothing. Don't always covet what doesn't belong to you."
"It's not good to be presumptuous, just because others are kind to you."
"You say in Beijing there is no fine lady you couldn't find."
The owner was no fool and could see that the girl was deliberately targeting Tang Wan, and he was unjustly caught in the crossfire. Not understanding the whole situation, he didn't even know how to start intervening.
This short-haired girl was too aggressive.
"Zhuang Rao, what are you two talking about?" Jiang Shuyan came down from upstairs.
"Nothing much, just chit-chatting," Zhuang Rao instantly changed her tune.
"Do you want to look at anything else? If not, let's go to another store."
"Okay."
"Tang Sister, then we'll be going first," Jiang Shuyan said goodbye to Tang Wan.
Tang Wan smiled in response, maintaining impeccable manners and upbringing throughout.
After the two had left, the owner finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid they were going to start fighting in his store.
"Scared you?" Tang Wan teased with a smile.
"Is she your friend? How can she..." the owner shook his head.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." That person was clearly targeting her, and her words just now had attracted the attention of several other customers in the store.
"It's not your fault; why apologize? Your items are ready, sorry for the long wait." "It's okay."
"I was really worried you were going to... You're also very patient." The owner handed her the packaged jewelry.
Tang Wan simply smiled, paid, and left the store, maintaining good manners and etiquette until she got into the car, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Cuo tilted his head to look at her, "Miss Tang, nothing happened inside, did it?"
"What could have happened?" Tang Wan's lips curled up slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"No matter, just asking."
"That person with Jiang Shuyan just now, do you know her?"
"Yes, her name is Zhuang Rao and they are good friends."
"Does she like either the Second Young Master or the Fifth Young Master?"
"Miss Tang, you must be joking," Jiang Cuo laughed as if he heard a joke. "She's known for being a player with no boyfriend and no shortage of men in her life. She only has a good relationship with Jiang Shuyan and has never even entered our house, let alone met our Young Master. Where does this liking come from?"
"Is that so?" Tang Wan squinted and looked out the window.
"I'm not sure about the Second Young Master, but our Young Master lives a secluded life and knows very few women. He barely goes out, let alone meeting, not many in Beijing have even seen him. Apart from you, I haven't seen him get so close with any other woman."
"If anyone dares to say she's very familiar with our Young Master, that she's his confidante..."
"I can tell you responsibly, it's all false! Apart from a few relatives, friends, and us, our Young Master only has a turtle as a companion, even Lord Wansui is male."
Jiang Cuo was afraid Tang Wan might misunderstand something and kept explaining, but Tang Wan, looking out the window, didn't seem to take much in. That person called Zhuang Rao had come on quite aggressively, and later mentioned her relations with the Jiang Family; she initially thought it might be a matter of a lover of Jiang Yanting or Jiang Jinsang. Since it wasn't...
Meanwhile, on the other side
Jiang Shuyan and Zhuang Rao had just found a coffee shop to sit down in.
"Shuyan, I don't see what's so special about that Tang Wan? You've praised her to the skies, saying how great she is. After meeting her today, she's just okay. After all, she's from the countryside and doesn't have the makings of someone presentable."
Jiang Shuyan looked down and stirred her coffee, "Tang Sister is a nice person."
"I don't know about the person, but her skin is certainly thick," Zhuang Rao's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Her family is so poor they can't even afford a hotel room, yet she insists on clinging to the Jiang Family?"
"That's because grandma likes her and wants her to stay for a few more days."
"If it were me, I wouldn't have the audacity." Zhuang Rao's lips revealed a sneer,
"I really don't understand what your grandma sees in her.”
Jiang Shuyan just lowered her head, "Perhaps she's just better at making the
elderly happy."
"And then she hopes to be chosen as their granddaughter-in-law? Starting from
the elderly, huh? She's really got a handle on things."
"Don't say that, actually, Sister Tang is pretty nice."
"I knew she was no good the moment I saw her. I heard that when she was at the Peach Garden, the old lady even had the manager take her backstage to observe. How many young people nowadays like listening to Beijing Opera, let alone visiting backstage? She really knows how to play the game," Zhuang Rao
sneered lightly.
"Backstage? She was allowed to go there at the Peach Garden too?" Jiang Shuyan seemed to hear about this for the first time and was somewhat surprised.
"Ordinary people definitely wouldn't be allowed, but they have to make an exception for the old lady's sake," Zhuang Rao sneered, "They don't even dote on you, their own granddaughter, like that."
"Perhaps she just gets along with grandma better.”
"Let me tell you, you just don't know how to work the system. These days, it's the
child who cries that gets the candy. From what I see, she's the quiet type, but she's got plenty of tricks up her sleeve."
"It's not like that, Sister Tang isn't that kind of person," Jiang Shuyan bit her lip.
"The old lady doesn't even go to charity galas; she gave her spot to her. I really don't know what kind of spell she's been put under," Zhuang Rao laughed lightly, "Those who attend galas are either rich or noble. Trust me, she's definitely not one to stay in her place."
"Maybe she's just looking for a backup plan. After all, aside from the Jiang Family, there are other distinguished families in Beijing."
"Zhuang Rao, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Shuyan appeared genuinely upset, as if she were truly indignant on behalf
of Tang Wan.
Zhuang Rao laughed lightly, "Shuyan, you're so naive. I checked her background
online before, her stepmother even ended up in prison because of her, she's very
skillful."
"Just now in the store, I deliberately tested her, and guess what, she didn't dare to make a peep."
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, she knows this is Beijing, not some backwater place where she can do whatever she wants."
"You tested her?" Jiang Shuyan seemed anxious upon hearing this.
"What else would I do, you really think I was just chatting with her?"
Zhuang Rao was arrogant, and from her expression, it was evident she had no respect for Tang Wan.
"By doing this, how am I going to face her later? At the charity auction later, you'll apologize to her with me."
"Shuyan, don't be foolish. Do you really think she appreciates you?" Zhuang Rao
snorted, "I've seen too many people like her."

"You're being deceived by her now,
but the old lady likes her so much-
even if she doesn't marry into the ve Jiang Family later, who knows, the
old lady might just give away her inheritance to her in a fit of happiness." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Enough, I don't want to talk about this with you...”
"You're going to suffer for this. Later at the auction, I'll show you what kind of person she really is."
Jiang Shuyan stood up abruptly, "I need to use the restroom."
"Shuyan, Jiang Shuyan-" Zhuang Rao was frustrated to the point of
desperation.
Almost as if she was truly enraged.
In the washroom, she simply washed her hands, dried them off, and then took
out her powder compact and lipstick for a quick touch-up.
This Tang Wan seemed different from what she had understood. In Pingjiang,
she seemed quite formidable, yet when confronted today, she remained silent.
If that was truly the case, it would be rather disappointing.
The lipstick applied to her lips was vibrant and dangerous.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan had already arrived at the store where she had agreed to
meet Jiang Jinsang.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Not too long."
Jiang Jiu stood by the side, pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. He
hadn't really waited long-just about...
Two hours and fifteen minutes.
"To save time, I picked out a few outfits for you in advance, you should try them
on first."
"Okay." Tang Wan nodded and entered the fitting room. Jiang Cuo immediately approached Jiang Jinsang.
He had already reported the run-in with Jiang Shuyan and Zhuang Rao, including
their conversation in the car.

"... That's basically the situation. I was
about to turn off the car and check the store, but Jiang Shuyan and her company came out, so I didn't go in. It seems like nothing happened." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

"Nothing happened?" Jiang Jinsang
Zhuan
She
raised an eyebrow, "Wanwan isn't someone who gossips; she wouldn't inquire about Zhuang Rao's background or ask deliberately about
her relationship with me and my elder brother unless something happened." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"You mean..." Jiang Cuo hadn't thought that deeply.
Jiang Shuyan's choice of blade was quite good; it seemed to fit her hand perfectly.
