Chapter 22 You brothers and sisters are just poor and can’t afford it
The clerk raised his eyebrows, his features flying, and laughed sarcastically: "Oh, that's really embarrassing, I pricked your little dignity as a poor person, didn't I? You, a little kid, still know how to protect your family?!"
Shen Jingci walked out of the toilet and saw Yan Laiyi arguing with the clerk at the door from a distance.
He frowned.
Yiyi's face flushed with anger, and he growled fiercely, "You can say I'm poor, but you can't say that about my brother. My brother is so handsome, like a prince. He's not that kind of person!"
She spoke clearly and coherently, "Besides, my uncle gave me money, so my brother brought me here. You can't say that to my brother!"
The clerk laughed heartily, looking at the passersby around him, still mocking them: "Oh, you kid, I really don't know whether I should say you are pathetic or praise you for being smart."
She leaned over and said mockingly, "The clothes we have here are not something someone like you can afford, do you understand? Your brother brought you here, probably because he went to the wrong store, or maybe he didn't know how to deal with it. You standing in front of our store like this is affecting our image. How can we sell our products?"
After saying that, she glanced up and down at Yan Laiyi and said, "Looking at you, I guess your brother isn't much better off. You two are probably equally poor."
Lai Yi's mind buzzed, and he pushed her angrily: "Don't you dare talk about my brother!!"
The clerk was not pushed, but annoyed, raised his hand and pushed her away: "Are you looking for death? Who told you to touch me?! Are you dirty?"
Xiao Yiyi fell to the ground, her eyes suddenly red.
Passersby were so fed up that they shouted, "Why are you bullying a child?"
“That’s right!”
The clerk insisted, "I'm not bullying her! She's asking for trouble! She's dressed so poorly and said she's waiting for her brother. Who knows if she's a thief?"
A passerby defended him: "What kind of thief is that? How could such a young child steal things? And you just kept mocking this child for being poor. Do you have any moral integrity?!"
"The salesgirl is amazing, isn't she?!"
The clerk was at a loss as to what to do and continued to point at Yan Laiyi stubbornly, "Am I wrong? She is poor and shouldn't be here!"
Yan Laiyi already had some abrasions on his body, and now there were bloodstains under his eyes.
But she endured the pain and looked at her stubbornly: "You were the first to insult my brother! I don't allow you to say that about my brother. He brought me here to buy things. He is a good man!"
Shen Jingci's heart thumped, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The mall manager passed by and saw him, and hurriedly came up to him attentively: "Master Shen, why didn't you tell us that you were coming? You didn't even bring someone with you. Let me accompany you shopping!"
Shen Jingci glanced at him quietly without saying anything.
The clerk on the other side was fearless: "What's wrong with insulting your brother? I guess your brother is just a poor guy, so why shouldn't you insult him?"
A cold young man's voice interrupted at the right moment: "Am I the pauper this lady is talking about?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
Shen Jingci was wearing a white shirt, well-cut trousers, and a pair of spotless white shoes.
He had handsome features, peach blossom eyes like a cat, lazy yet dignified, with messy hair falling on his forehead. He looked only about ten years old, but his aura was full, and he was even a head taller than the manager next to him. He slowly walked up to the salesperson.
Xiao Yiyi was overjoyed: "Brother Jingci!~"
The female clerk's expression changed, and she looked at Shen Jingci in astonishment.
