"It's not that I'm being stubborn. This lipstick is a new product launched this season. Our store has a rule that even samples of the new seasonal products are not allowed to be given away!"

What I just told you was a perk I received from the store! I'm giving you my own things!

I believe I have done everything I could, so what exactly do you want? This is about not being greedy, but what is greed then?

Ya Ya got angrier and angrier as she talked.

That damned Tian Laifu!

How could they have the nerve to tell Li Ping'er to come to the store and take whatever she wanted?

She's just working here to earn money! It's not her shop!

Moreover, even if it were her own shop, she would never let Tian Laifu take it without permission!

That's a bottomless pit!

"So you're not going to give it to us today? Fine, we don't want it then. Go back and tell your brother, don't even dream of a toad trying to eat a swan! You want to marry my daughter? No way!"

With things turned out this way, Madam Li has lost all face. How can she possibly stay here any longer?

Li Ping'er looked at Er Ya with disappointment and shook her head: "Are you satisfied with this commotion?"

Do you know how much effort your brother went through to get my mother to agree to our marriage?

You ruined your brother's hard work and your marriage! Yaya, how could you be so selfish?

How will you face your brother and your mother when you go home? Even if you don't care about your brother, don't you care about your mother at all?

Chi Tang and the others, who were hiding around the corner, rolled their eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Chi Tang murmured, "PUA!"

This is a master!

"What? If I don't let you take advantage of me, I'll be letting down my ancestors? According to you, if my brother marries you, you'll be the living ancestor of my family!"

"I'm truly sorry, I don't have such a powerful family to support you!"

If Ya Ya had never been out and had always stayed at home, only knowing how to listen to her parents and brothers, she might have been frightened.

But when she went out to earn money, her mother kept half of her wages for her.

She bought what she wanted herself.

She even saw that her own item was a little girl, and that the owner of Yipinxiang was also a woman!

Having been influenced by what she saw and heard, how could she possibly be that timid girl?

"You! You've gone too far! The shopkeeper? Where is the shopkeeper?"

Mrs. Li slammed her hand on the table in anger and called for help.

Soon the shopkeeper was summoned, and the other customers in the shop were also attracted.

The shopkeeper was a woman named Liu Qi'er, who was twenty years old this year.

As you can tell from her name, she was not valued by her family since childhood, and they even considered selling her to raise money for her younger brother to get married.

Later, by chance, Liu Qier seemed to want to run away, but her parents caught her and beat her in the street!

Liu Qi'er was beaten terribly at the time, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound! Her eyes were firm and cold.

He even said on the spot, "If you don't beat me to death today, you will pay the price in the future!"

What about biological parents?

If they don't treat her like a human being, then she has no reason to respect or love them!

Upon seeing this, Chi Tang took the initiative to spend money to buy Liu Qi'er from her parents.

Twenty taels of silver.

Upon gaining her freedom, Liu Qi'er's first reaction was: "In their eyes, I'm only worth twenty taels of silver. How ridiculous!"

Later, Chi Tang discovered that Liu Qi'er was very good at business, so when Dian Jiang Chun first started, he let her manage it.

Liu Qi'er lived up to expectations and no longer needed Wei Xin and Wei Bo's help; she managed everything perfectly on her own.

Webo has now gone to Beijing to prepare for opening a branch.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Liu Qi'er asked politely.

Before Mrs. Li could speak, the little girl standing next to Ya Ya couldn't help but say, "They wanted Ya Ya to give them the full-size lipsticks for the season, but Ya Ya said that the store has a rule that it can't be given away."

But they wouldn't let it go, and started swearing and saying really nasty things about prostitution!

Madam Li, caught off guard, blushed and turned pale with embarrassment: "You little slut, how could you..."

"Smack!"

Liu Qi'er's slap stunned everyone.

This slap wasn't directed at Ya Ya, but at Madam Li!

This was something no one expected!

Xiao Hong watched with great enjoyment and whispered, "Well done!"

Chi Tang's lips slowly curved into a smile.

This young lady's temperament is really to my liking.

Brother Wu involuntarily took a half step back.

Are all young girls these days this fierce?

"You dare hit me?"

Madam Li was furious and frantically tried to retaliate, but Liu Qi'er held Madam Li and Li Ping'er back with one arm each, her expression icy:

"Selling yourself? Someone who can't afford anything is throwing a tantrum and begging us to deliver things. What right do you have to mock us like this?"

"Huh? Are you stupid enough, shameless enough?"

Liu Qi'er flung the two away, and the latter fell to the ground, screaming.

Liu Qi'er stood ramrod straight, pointed at the products on the counter, and said coldly, "Our rouge lip products are meant to help women appreciate themselves and for others to appreciate our beauty!"

Beauty should make us confident, generous, and at ease! Not something for stupid and malicious people like you to flaunt!

We, the "Dian Jiang Chun" (a type of lipstick), do not welcome guests like you! You only defile our beauty! If you dare to apply "Dian Jiang Chun" again, we will report you to the authorities!

Madam Li trembled with anger: "We are guests! Everyone saw what happened! Is this how you treat your guests?"

Bystander: "You've got it wrong, haven't you? We're the customers who're paying. Aren't you just being shameless and trying to seduce someone?"
