Damn, can't this man just refrain from speaking carelessly?

If you're going to ask, don't ask me, okay?

When did I ever show that I wanted to talk to you?

Xia Hong and Minister Gu were already standing very close to each other, so everyone's attention was focused on Minister Gu, and of course, also on Editor-in-Chief Xia.

Feeling very uncomfortable being watched by so many people, Xia Hong involuntarily took two steps back, and didn't forget to adjust her oversized sunglasses again, actually to fix them in place.

After that, she ignored the man's previous question, acting as if she didn't know him and why should she answer him!

However, Minister Gu didn't seem to be angry at all; instead, he stared at the woman in front of him with a half-smile.

This made Editor-in-Chief Xia's scalp tingle and his back go cold.

Why do I feel like I'm being stared at by something?

Yingying finally spoke up when she saw that her editor-in-chief was really losing her temper:

"Miss Yuan, are you still going to do this business or not? Wasn't it supposed to be the best hair salon in all of Kyoto? What, are you not going to do it for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an overbearing aura emanated from him, making him appear as aggressive and domineering as could be.

The employees in the room were stunned and gasped. Seeing that her plea for help was in vain, and that she clearly couldn't afford to offend this wealthy woman, Yuan Xing could only force a smile.

"No, no, ma'am, please don't be angry. We'll make it for you."

"Hmph, then hurry up! Remember, it has to be exactly the same as our Honghong's. If it's even slightly different, don't blame me for being impolite!"

I'm glad you agreed; I was just worried you wouldn't.

However, I hope that Ms. Yuan can endure even more in the future...

After all, Yingying had no intention of actually turning her hair into an eye-catching, frizzy mess like her editor-in-chief's; ugh, she couldn't stand it.

Yuan Xing was forced into this situation. In fact, this was the first time Yuan Xing had encountered such a situation. Yuan Xing's family was considered wealthy, but they were not in the Beijing circle, but in a province outside the city. They were just ordinary people doing business and had no involvement in officialdom or military and political affairs.

But in her hometown, a small place, Yuan Xing was a high-class young lady who was pampered and spoiled by everyone. She had never been treated like this before.

While studying abroad, Yuan Xing's family was willing to provide financial support, so she had a pretty good life overseas.

The only problem is that he was blind to the fact that he dared to scheme against Editor-in-Chief Xia.

Yingying is fiercely protective of her own!

Second, Xia Hong is not someone who simply lets others bully her without retaliating!

However, Xia Hong's method was too brutal and direct; it could only hurt people physically, not emotionally.

In this respect, Yingying is more knowledgeable.

However, when Yuan Xing started arranging for people to wash her hair and so on, all the employees backed away.

Such a formidable woman, she's clearly not someone to mess with. Boss, you should take over.

We wouldn't dare!

Yuan Xing was furious: "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you want to work?" she asked angrily.

Between work and life, which is more important?

For someone of that social class, taking down someone would be incredibly easy, wouldn't it?

"Boss, we still have work to do, and the customers are waiting. We'll head over now."

You should take care of this, boss.

Anyway, at worst, I won't work here anymore!

At this moment, Yingying took off her sunglasses completely, revealing a pair of cold eyes. Every time her gaze swept over someone, that person couldn't help but tremble.

Chapter 1821

cold!

Then comes the fear that runs deep in people's hearts!

Seeing that look in her eyes, Yuan Xing became even more nervous, but remembering that the man she liked was still there, and that her rival was still there, she could only suppress her fear.

"Madam, let me wash your hair first, this way please!"

Wow, that's pretty good at handling things.

"Sure!"

Yingying responded and then followed behind Yuan Xing.

However, with each step she took, everyone in the room couldn't help but hold their breath. By the time they reached their destination, Yuan Xing's legs were so weak that she could barely stand.

Seeing this, Xia Hong's lips curled up noticeably, and she let out a soft chuckle.

What is this called?

This is what they call "one thing subdues another," "one mountain is always higher than another," and "evil people will always have evil people to deal with them."

Of course, Yingying wasn't really a bad person; she was just trying to scare that woman.

Otherwise, if we really wanted to take action, it wouldn't be that simple.

That one without blood?

"Are you happy?"

Just as Xia Hong was watching this scene with great delight, a familiar male voice suddenly rang in her ears. Goosebumps instantly rose on her neck, her heart skipped a beat, and after taking a deep breath, she finally spoke:

Are you asking me?

The man raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Otherwise what?"

"Oh...."

You think you can just ask me and expect me to answer? Who made that rule? Which law says that?

Minister Gu was truly rarely confronted so directly, and he couldn't help but choke back a few words, but he was still unwilling to leave just like that, and his expression turned serious:

"Xia Hong, you really have no conscience!" The voice that came out was even colder than the last.

conscience?

"Young Master Gu, aren't you twenty years old? How many people in this world have a conscience?"

It's obvious that Editor-in-Chief Xia said this on purpose.

Minister Gu, standing before him, was so enraged that a surge of anger welled up inside him.

"you!"

"Me? What did I do wrong? You think I'm heartless? Well, I didn't bother you in any way, did I? What? Are you going to stand up for that person?"
