"Second brother, this shopping mall is so lively!"

Holding a milk tea, Zhu Mingyue strolled side by side with Zhu Qian in the mall, her smile innocent and bright.

Zhu Qian glanced at the time and patiently asked, "Mingyue, are you hungry? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Zhu Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I'm craving some barbecue, but I also want to wander around a bit more."

Zhu Qian looked at her with indulgent eyes: "Then let's walk around for a while before we go eat."

Zhu Mingyue: "Thank you, Second Brother!"

...

"One, two, three, eggplant..."

The boy's hand touched Zhu Jinzhao's waist, and he took four or five photos in a row. Zhu Jinzhao tensed up, and quickly stepped back as soon as he finished taking the photos.

"Thank you, miss." The boy looked at the photos on his phone with satisfaction and said with a grin, "Miss, shall we take another picture? I'm a regular customer of this brand, and it's not easy to catch their new store opening promotion."

Zhu Jinchao's smile froze: "Still...still taking pictures...?"

"Can't we?" The boy adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with excitement. "Those two girls can take three photos each."

"Hmph..." Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips and chuckled awkwardly twice: "Y-yes, go ahead and take the picture."

The boy then held up his phone and approached again.

Good news, this time he didn't put his arm around her waist.

The bad news is, he only put his arm around the shoulder.

Zhu Jinzhao gritted her teeth and finished taking the photos. Just as she was about to step away, the boy's hand touched her back. After touching her, he said, "This fabric is so thin, I feel like I can touch your skin directly."

Are you crazy?!

Even though Zhu Jinchao was timid, she couldn't help but curse out, "If you're going to take a picture, then take it properly! Why are you hugging my waist, putting your arm around my shoulder, and touching my back? Why are your hands so indecent?"

"What's wrong?" A girl who was close to her came over when she heard this, looking at the boy in front of her with a blank expression.

Zhu Jinzhao felt a little wronged, but mostly disgusted. She slapped her back hard a few times, trying to wipe away the boy's body heat, and said angrily, "He was being indecent, taking advantage of me while we were taking pictures!"

"Who took advantage of you?!" the boy demanded, clearly unwilling to admit anything. "Don't make false accusations!"

Zhu Jinzhao pointed at him and recounted his crimes in detail: "You took advantage of me! When you were taking pictures, you secretly put your arm around my waist and your hand on my shoulder! You even touched my back! After touching me, you said that I was wearing thin clothes and it seemed like you could touch my skin directly!"

"Damn it, how disgusting!" The girl next to her couldn't stand it just listening to it. "If you're going to take a picture, just take it properly. Why are you touching me for no reason? Girls know to keep their distance when taking pictures. Don't you, a grown man, understand that?"

Whether out of guilt or anger, the boy's face flushed red in the blink of an eye: "You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

"You have it!" Zhu Jinchao retorted stubbornly. Although she usually acted timid, she would not back down when her bottom line was truly violated.

She straightened her clothes, her eyes red, and shouted, "You took advantage of me! There's a security camera right above me. If you don't admit it, I'll call the police and have them check the surveillance footage!"

"You... if you're so capable, then sign up..." The boy rolled his eyes, clearly lacking confidence.

Zhu Jinzhao wasn't joking with him; when she said she was going to call the police, she really turned around and went into the store to get her phone.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Upon hearing the commotion, the shop assistant rushed out, pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and pulled the furious Zhu Jinzhao back.

The girl next to Zhu Jinzhao explained, "This guy took advantage of Jinzhao under the pretext of taking pictures! He also said some lewd things to Jinzhao."

"I didn't! This girl is deliberately trying to scam me!" The boy denied it to the end, and even turned the tables, "She just thinks she's not as popular as the other two girls, so she wants to create some hype! She's framed me, I didn't do anything to her!"

Zhu Jinchao turned around and stared intently at him: "You're lying, aren't you? There's a security camera right above me. You can find out whether you took advantage of me or not by watching the footage!"

"Sister Fang, I need to access the security footage!"

The shop assistant, referred to as Sister Fang, immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go and adjust it now."

"What surveillance footage? I told you I didn't touch her!" The boy's tone was firm, but his words betrayed his guilt. "She framed me. Don't try to pull these underhanded tricks."

Fang smiled apologetically at him: "Checking the surveillance footage is just to restore the truth; we have no other intentions. We paid the model to come, and our store is certainly responsible for her safety and rights. If the surveillance footage proves that you didn't do those things, we will naturally apologize to you and clear your name."

As she spoke, Sister Fang patted Zhu Jinzhao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll go to the front desk to check the surveillance footage right now."

Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "Mm."

"Crazy..." The boy muttered speechlessly as he watched Fang Jie actually go to the front desk. He picked up the milk tea from the ground, pushed through the crowd, and turned to leave.

Zhu Jinzhao rushed forward and grabbed him, shouting, "Why are you running? The surveillance footage hasn't been pulled up yet!"

"Get away!" The boy shook off her hand and shoved her hard on the shoulder. "Would I be crazy to be here with you guys checking the security footage!"

Zhu Jinzhao is not afraid of him at all; even if he pushes her, she will continue to catch him.

"You're not allowed to leave! Didn't you say you were innocent? The surveillance footage hasn't even been retrieved yet, why are you running away? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Who the hell is feeling guilty?!" The boy got angry and slapped Zhu Jinchao's hand away again, pointed his finger at Zhu Jinchao's nose, and took a few steps closer. "Don't be so shameless. I don't want to hit a woman."

"If you don't want to hit women, then do you want to hit men?"

A smiling male voice took over his words.

He froze, not even realizing who was speaking, when a hand with distinct knuckles pressed down on his shoulder.

He looked up blankly, only to see that the person who came was a full head taller than him.

A tall, slender boy walked out of the crowd, one hand on his shoulder, the other casually in his pocket, arrogant and overbearing.

"you……"

The boy with glasses was intimidated by his imposing manner and immediately fell silent.

He walked past Zhu Jinzhao, pushed the boy aside a few steps, and shielded Zhu Jinzhao behind him.

Zhu Jinzhao stared blankly at him, from his sharp eyebrows to his thin lips, then back again. She repeated this several times before she was sure she didn't know him... no, the fake heiress didn't know him.

He stood in front of Zhu Jinzhao and said casually, "Brother, you did take advantage of that girl. I saw it all clearly from the other side."

"Men already have a bad reputation these days, can you please stop embarrassing yourself like this?"
