The call connected, and the waitress provided a brief explanation of the situation. It remained unclear what transpired on the other end, but the waitress swiftly ended the call.
Confidence emanated from the waitress, possibly because of her backing from the boss. She peered disdainfully at Xia Wan and remarked, “We’re both in the clothing business, but your family can’t compete with ours. Now, resorting to this thievery. Just wait until our boss arrives!”
With her words delivered, the waitress found a seat and settled down.
The noon heat kept potential customers at bay.
Before long, a couple entered the shop.
A middle-aged man, with a noticeable paunch and a rather disheveled appearance, was clad in a suit that looked out of place.
Beside him, a girl clung to his arm, displaying an intimate bond that signaled them as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
The waitress chimed in with enthusiasm, “Boss, Lady Boss, you’ve finally arrived. These three caused trouble in our shop!”
As Xia Wan laid eyes on the girl, everything fell into place.
Standing alongside the man in the suit was Xia Ru, who had vanished for some time.
At that moment. Xia Ru wore heavy make up. adding years to her appearance.
Dust-covered, it was evident she hadn’t embarked on anything substantial during her absence.
Xia Ru cast a haughty look at Xia Wan. “Well, isn’t this my dear cousin?
Shouldn’t you be in school? What brings you to our shop?”
Xia Chen, too, gazed at Xia Ru, a mixture of surprise and confusion etched on his face.
He inquired with a stern tone, “Xia Ru, what’s going on here? Who is this man?”
Only then did Xia Ru notice Xia Chen and Liu Hua’s presence.
A flicker of panic flashed across her smug demeanor.
Though she had compared herself to Xia Wan, she had no intention of letting others know she was involved with an affluent older man.
Liu Hua hailed from their village, and if she saw, it would surely become village gossip.
Xia Ru pursed her lips and quickly adjusted her stance. The opinions of others wouldn’t deter her from enjoying her newfound prosperity. She had had enough of the village’s poverty.
Now, with a wealthy man by her side, she savored the finest cuisine, slept in opulent quarters, and used the best cosmetics.
All the waitstaff addressed her as “Lady Boss.”
This was an opportunity others coveted but couldn’t obtain.
With this in mind, Xia Ru stood tall and faced Xia Chen. “Ah, it’s my dear cousin. What’s your concern? Is it a problem that I’m with my boyfriend?”
“Have you forgotten, cousin? We parted ways a long time ago. Naturally, my life choices aren’t your concern.”
Xia Chen was taken aback. “He could practically be your father!”
The suited man looked at Xia Chen with displeasure. “I’ll let it slide this time because you’re Xia Ru’s cousin. But if you try to sow discord again, don’t blame me for taking action!”
Xia Chen felt like his entire worldview had been shaken.
In the past, Xia Ru had been vain at most. How had she ended up on this path?
Xia Wan halted him. “Brother, no need to say more. Xia Ru chose this path for herself. She doesn’t want to tread the right path because it takes longer.”
“We didn’t come here today to reminisce about the past. I couldn’t figure out why someone was deliberately targeting our shop before. Now I know it’s you behind it.”
“Xia Ru, to target me, you intentionally sold these clothes at a low price. Did you consider the cost?”
As she spoke, she glanced at the man in the suit. “Your boyfriend seems to treat you well too. He’s willing to accompany you without earning money just to please you.”
She wanted to gauge the man’s response.
She believed that even if the man in the suit had a better supply channel, the purchase price wouldn’t be significantly lower.
Given that the cost price of these clothes was clear, engaging in competition would undoubtedly lead to losses for their shop..
