"I'm wrapping up early today," Jiang Can said expressionlessly. "Everyone, please leave. There's nothing here that you need!"
The colleagues exchanged glances, then all looked at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao sneered, crossed her arms, and gestured for them to sit down. "Little sister, finishing work so early is such a waste of your rent, isn't it?"
"Rent?" Jiang Can raised an eyebrow. "My husband pays the rent, and he manages everything at the shop. He said he opened the shop to make me happy, so I can close whenever I want, and I don't need to worry about money!"
“And another thing,” she wiped the bar counter, looking up at her, “this is a place to drink coffee and eat snacks, not a place for you to gossip!”
"The business is in trouble, what's with the arrogance!" Jiang Yao felt extremely embarrassed that she couldn't even intimidate Jiang Can in front of her colleagues.
"Okay, we can leave! But you need to understand, with so much talk online, your shop will have to close down sooner or later!"
Whether I close the door or not is none of your business.
"Of course it has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yao laughed sarcastically. "It has something to do with your husband! Sigh, sister, a coffee shop is supposed to be a romantic place, but you insisted on putting your husband here! Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Jiang Can's expression changed, and she gripped the coffee cup in her hand tightly.
"My husband didn't steal or rob; he earned his money through his own hard work. What's wrong with that? How is it considered courting death?"
"Because he used to..."
"What's past is past!" Jiang Can said, somewhat agitated. "You don't need to remind me again and again!"
"Heh, are you angry?" The more Jiang Yao looked at her like this, the more smug she felt.
She had never lost a battle with Jiang Can since childhood. She thought that by letting Jiang Can marry Gu Mang in her place, Jiang Can's life would be ruined, and she could trample her into the mud.
But to her surprise, her life got better and better after following Gu Mang!
Whenever Jiang Yao thought about these things, it felt like a needle was stuck in her heart.
Now that she has finally seized this opportunity, she is determined to humiliate Jiang Can by any means necessary.
"Hey, how come you get along so well with a criminal? I've heard that these kinds of people carry a criminal gene, huh... I hope your kids won't inherit that trait in the future?"
Jiang Can glared at her fiercely, ignored her, and turned to press the button on the coffee machine.
The roar of the coffee machine drowned out Jiang Yao's chilling laughter.
But she thought Jiang Can was afraid of her, and she mocked him even more fiercely, "Little sister, you have a really strong mentality! How do you do it? You should teach me!"
Jiang Can lowered her head and made coffee, remaining silent.
"Hey, teach me!" Jiang Yao raised her voice, "Teach me!"
The coffee machine suddenly stopped making noise.
Jiang Can suddenly turned around and poured a freshly made iced coffee directly over Jiang Yao's head!
Caught off guard, Jiang Yao felt a chill run through her body from the top of her head. Her hair was clumped together, her false eyelashes were stuck with coffee, and her makeup was a mess.
Everyone else was stunned and stood there motionless.
Jiang Can gave a cold laugh, "Didn't you tell me to water you?"
"Okay, I'll water it! Now you know how to water it, right?"
Jiang Yao's face turned deathly pale, and she trembled with anger.
"Jiang Can! You bastard..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Can raised a cup of scalding hot strong coffee and pretended to splash it on her!
Jiang Yao screamed in fright and instinctively covered her face.
Jiang Can's hand froze in mid-air before she finally put the coffee cup down.
"Jiang Yao." She gritted her teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "Listen to me carefully, I don't care how you treat me, but my husband is my bottom line!"
"If you dare cross this line again, I'll teach you what death means!"
"you……"
"Get out!"
Jiang Can roared angrily.
Jiang Yao stared at her blankly, her face filled with terror and hatred, but she dared not cause any more trouble.
Lin Yuqing happened to enter at that moment and witnessed this scene.
Just by looking at the mess, she could guess what had happened.
She was terrified, fearing that Jiang Can would be at a disadvantage, and without saying a word, she rushed forward and shoved Jiang Yao away! Jiang Yao stumbled from the push and crashed heavily into the corner of the table, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"Lin Yuqing, are you crazy?!" Jiang Yao screamed hysterically, "How dare you push me!"
"That's exactly what I was doing!" Lin Yuqing protected Jiang Can. "Did you bring this group of people to cause trouble for Can Can?"
"Ha, I'm here to bring her business!" Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at her. "You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin... You're just like Jiang Can, you're both ungrateful dogs!"
Lin Yuqing was too lazy to waste words with her, so she went straight up and slapped Jiang Yao across the face, making her see stars!
Actually, she shielded Jiang Can behind her, intending to let the matter rest.
But Jiang Yao has this ability to ignite the fiercest anger deep within people's hearts.
Seeing Jiang Yao's arrogant demeanor, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but want to curse her. However, when people are in a fit of rage, their minds go blank. Normally, she is eloquent, but at the crucial moment, she can't utter a single word.
Since you can't bring yourself to curse, just fight!
Lin Yuqing and Jiang Yao got into a fight, pulling each other's clothes and hair, neither willing to back down.
Jiang Can wanted to break up the fight but couldn't get involved. The small coffee shop instantly erupted into chaos, and even passersby stopped to look inside.
In order to observe Huo Zhixing, Lu Lishan often kept watch in a secluded corner behind the small courtyard these days.
He heard the sounds of fighting, and because he had just seen Lin Yuqing walk in, he couldn't help but worry about her.
However, when he strode into the courtyard and saw Lin Yuqing in high spirits and Jiang Yao beaten and disheveled, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
"Cough cough!" Lu Lishan coughed heavily twice.
Amidst the screams of a group of women, the man's deep voice stood out.
The room fell silent instantly.
Lu Lishan suddenly found it amusing; Lin Yuqing's heroic bearing and fighting prowess were as strong as ever.
"What...what are you doing?" He strode in, pursed his lips, and looked at Jiang Can. "Is the proprietress no longer running a coffee shop, but a martial arts arena?"
Jiang Can took a deep breath and frowned.
It's already a complete mess, what's this person doing here!
She forced herself to calm down, looked at Lin Yuqing, and tidied her messy hair.
Lin Yuqing maintained a cold expression throughout, exchanged a glance with Lu Lishan, and gave a sad, self-deprecating smile.
Lu Lishan was accompanied by two subordinates, all of whom were tall and burly with fierce looks, and easily intimidated the women.
Jiang Yao had suffered a great loss and was being helped up. Just as she was about to yell a few curses, she suddenly met Lu Lishan's deep and cold gaze.
She shuddered, her mind went blank, and she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
Lu Lishan also became suspicious and secretly scrutinized her closely.
“Miss,” he chuckled twice, turning to Jiang Yao, “your injuries seem quite serious, how about I take you to the hospital?”
