Song Nuan's smile faded slightly.

She didn't reply immediately, and Xu Yiran was so focused on eating that she didn't notice her reaction.

She continued, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings: "Speaking of which, I didn't go when Qin Yuchuan proposed to you back then. I was thinking that I had to be there for your wedding, but I never expected that you would get married quietly while I was abroad."

Speaking of this, Xu Yiran was still fuming.

They spent four years of college together, so even if Song Nuan didn't consider her a close friend, she shouldn't have left her without even sending her a wedding invitation, right?

She didn't even know when she got married.

Song Nuan explained, "We had a secret marriage; we didn't hold a wedding banquet, and only our families knew about it."

Xu Yiran said "Oh," and then asked, "Song Ningxue wouldn't still be thinking about him, would she?"

Song Nuan smiled without saying a word.

"No way, you two are already married, and she still hasn't given up? She's still thinking about her brother-in-law, how can she be so shameless!" Xu Yiran roared angrily.

The other customers in the store all looked over and whispered among themselves.

Song Nuan felt a little embarrassed.

"Sure enough, like mother, like daughter. You must have suffered a lot of grievances at home all these years, right? What about Qin Yuchuan? What's his attitude? How have you been doing in the Qin family?"

Before she could speak, Xu Yiran took out her phone and typed nimbly on the keyboard, her face full of anger.

It looks like he's replying to a message.

Just as Song Nuan was about to lean over to take a look, Xu Yiran slammed her phone heavily on the table and said, "There's an alumni reunion tomorrow, and I wasn't planning on going."

Song Nuan: "So you've decided to go now?"

"Of course, I heard that Song Ningxue is also going, and asked me to go and meet her on your behalf."

Song Nuan: "..." Oh well, as long as she's happy.

Traveling abroad not only changes your tastes, but it also makes you feel like a completely different person.

Since it was still early after dinner and Xu Yiran lived nearby, she wasn't in a hurry to go back, so she suggested going to the mall to see if LV had released any new products.

Since she had nothing better to do, Song Nuan agreed.

As soon as she entered, the saleswoman greeted her. She didn't recognize Xu Yiran, but she did recognize Song Nuan.

"Miss Song."

Song Nuan nodded, "My friend and I are just looking around."

The saleswoman smiled and immediately said, "We just received a batch of new styles. Would you two like to take a look?"

"OK."

The sales assistant immediately went to get the bag.

Song Nuan sat and waited, while Xu Yiran, having eaten her fill, got up and walked around.

Song Nuan didn't notice her either; a person this age couldn't possibly get lost in the store.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the saleswoman ran over and said, "Ms. Song, your friend is arguing with other customers!"

What's wrong? Why is Xu Yiran so irritable lately?

Song Nuan followed the saleswoman over.

As soon as I got closer, I heard Xu Yiran's voice, "Do you own this shop? Is my hotpot smell bothering you? You're so old, yet you still have so much to say!"

Song Nuan looked in the direction of the sound.

Standing opposite Xu Yiran was a woman wearing a purple cheongsam.

The jade pendant around her neck alone is quite valuable; it's a rare type of glass jade.

She was around forty years old. From a normal social perspective, you couldn't see a single fine line on her face. If it weren't for the charm in her eyes, her face would indeed be very deceptive.

The noblewoman glanced at Song Nuan indifferently, then looked away.

In those brief two or three seconds, disdain, indifference, and arrogance were on full display.

Song Nuan pursed her lips. "Yi Ran, what's wrong?"

"I wandered around and ended up here. This isn't a VIP room, is it? She said I smelled too bad and had the sales assistant kick me out. I was so angry!" Xu Yiran was quite upset.

"Yiran, forget it," Song Nuan said.

"What's there to calculate? I didn't do anything wrong. You act all high and mighty, like a dog? You think you can mark your territory by taking a piss?" Xu Yiran sneered and sat down directly. "I'm not leaving."

Seeing this, the noblewoman calmly ordered, "Call security."

The saleswoman had a terrible headache and whispered to Song Nuan, "Ms. Song, you should ask your friend to leave right away!"

Hearing this, Song Nuan was also unhappy.

Putting aside the conflict between customers, the saleswoman represents the store. Even if she doesn't spend a lot, she must have spent millions. Does Xu Yiran deserve to be kicked out just because she smells like hotpot?

This isn't how you treat people differently based on their status.

Song Nuan said coldly, "Sister Chen, please make your statement clear. If my friend did something to offend this lady, we will apologize and leave. If not, we are free to stay or leave as we please. Isn't it against the rules to kick someone out in public like this?"

The saleswoman was flustered, not daring to offend either side. "Miss Song, this is Mrs. Li!"

Madam Li?

Xu Yiran asked, "Which Mrs. Li?"

Jiang Jieting poured out the tea, as if she thought it was dirty. "They don't even know about the Li family. They really are ignorant."

The Li family.

Behind Li Jingchen is the Li family, the most powerful of the four major families in Liangcheng.

It's the Li family behind Berlin Jewelry.

Song Nuan paused for a few seconds, then softened her tone. "Madam Li is indeed beautiful, but this wasn't my friend's fault. You don't need to be harsh on her over such a small matter. If word gets out, it won't be good for your reputation."

Jiang Jieting smiled.

That's really interesting; he actually dared to threaten her.

She raised her eyes, coldly sweeping her gaze over Song Nuan, and asked, "And who are you?"

"Song Nuan".

Jiang Jieting paused slightly, her gaze suddenly turning sharp.

According to rumors circulating from the bar, the woman Li Jingchen likes has the character "Nuan" in her name.

If she were Li Jingchen's woman, then it would be understandable that he would dare to threaten her.

Jiang Jieting curled her lips, finding it somewhat interesting.

“She has an unpleasant odor, which affects the shopping experience of other customers, so she shouldn’t be here. People should stay in their proper place and not overstep their bounds.”

Song Nuan frowned. "What kind of rule is this?"

“This entire commercial building belongs to the Li Group, and this store also belongs to the Li Group. I am the owner here. Tell me, do you think what I said counts as proper conduct?” Jiang Jieting said proudly.

"Nonsense!" Xu Yiran retorted angrily.

Jiang Jieting was in a good mood, smiled and didn't mind. She waved to the saleswoman, "The bag in the upper left corner, I saw that the lady just now really liked it. Since it wasn't cleared out last quarter, let's not keep it taking up space. Let's pack it up and give it to you two as my apology."

The sales assistant understood and immediately packed four bags, bringing them over for Song Nuan and Xu Yiran.

The two didn't answer; their faces were the same shade of black as the bottom of a pot.

What kind of apology is giving away unsold, out-of-season bags? Isn't that just insulting?!

Jiang Jieting raised an eyebrow. "If you don't like it, you can give it to someone else or resell it. Although it's an out-of-season item, it's still a brand name."

Her tone was gentle, but every word was a blatant insult.

"You!" Xu Yiran was about to rush up and hit her.

Song Nuan grabbed her arm and took the bag from the saleswoman. "Yi Ran, let's go!"
