Chapter 477: Going to the mall and encountering a tough guy
Lin Rushuang turned around and said to A Yao, "Do you want to go shopping with us?"
Ah Yao waved his hands hurriedly: "No more shopping, Sister Rushuang, Mr. He has arranged other things for me, I have to get back to work."
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
Yang Xin took Lin Rushuang's hand and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."
Lin Rushang raised her hand to help Yang Xin brush away the loose hair on the side.
"How are you now? Have you felt better recently?"
"Much better, at least much better than before, thanks to that Dr. Eli you found. Even my attending physician said it's a shame that Eli didn't become a doctor."
"That's true. Eli is indeed a promising young man. It would be a shame if he didn't become a doctor. I've seen his previous medical legends, and he's truly a remarkable man. I hope that through you, he can return to the medical profession."
The two entered the mall and went to the mother and baby store on the second floor.
Lin Rushang had no interest in children before. To be honest, she was just average about children and couldn't say she liked them.
But since I became pregnant, I have become particularly interested in these baby things.
She saw a pink baby carriage and hurriedly pulled Yang Xin over to look at it.
"Yang Xin, look, this is beautiful."
“This blue one looks good too.”
Yang Xin came over, smiled and nodded, "They are indeed beautiful. The way you pick these things now is completely different from before. Before, when you saw your colleagues with children, you would stay away."
"You only know after you get pregnant," Lin Rushuang gently touched her belly, a hint of smile in her tone, "I always want to give T the best. Oh, and do you want to pick out two pieces for your two children as well? It's just the right time for the season to change."
As she was speaking, Lin Rushang turned around to pick up the baby socks next to her, and her elbow accidentally bumped into the person behind her.
"oops!"
A sharp scream rang out, and a woman in an off-white maternity dress staggered two steps. The shopping bag in her hand fell to the ground, and the imported milk powder can inside rolled out.
"How do you walk like that? You have no eyes!" The woman held her belly, her face instantly darkening. Her voice was so loud that the other customers in the store looked over. "I'm pregnant. If something happens, can you bear the consequences?"
Lin Rushuang quickly bent down to help her pick up the milk powder, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay? Do you want to sit over there for a while?"
"Are you okay?" The woman pushed her hand away, and the milk powder can clattered to the ground. "I'm carrying my grandson in my belly! You touched me, and you're done with just a simple apology?"
"My milk powder was flown in from abroad. A can costs tens of thousands. You have to pay me back! And my skirt, custom-made in Italy, got stained by you. I bought it for 100,000 yuan."
Yang Xin frowned and stepped forward to protect Lin Rushuang. "Ma'am, please don't be so harsh. My friend didn't do it on purpose, and your skirt isn't dirty. Is it necessary to ask for such a high price?"
"Who are you? Can you help her pay the money, or something?"
The woman glanced at Yang Xin with contempt in her eyes.
"You look like poor people. You can't afford to buy anything here, but you still come here to shop. Are you trying to scam me? I'm telling you, this mall is managed by my husband. If you don't pay me today, don't even think about leaving!"
The shop assistants around wanted to step forward to persuade her, but were glared back by the woman. It was obvious that she was used to running rampant in the mall and no one dared to mess with her.
Lin Rushang stood up straight, the apology on her face disappeared instantly, and her tone became a little cold.
"I can compensate you for the milk powder, but I can't accept the 100,000 yuan you mentioned for the skirt. If you think it's unreasonable, we can call the police and let them judge the matter."
"Call the police? You're calling the police for such a small matter, are you out of your mind?"
The woman took a step forward and reached out to push Lin Rushang.
"Believe it or not, I'll have the security kick you out and never let you enter this mall again!"
Yang Xin quickly grabbed Lin Rushuang, fearing that she would be touched.
"Don't go too far! My friend is pregnant too. If you hurt her, you will be in trouble."
"What does her injury have to do with me?" The woman sneered and was about to say something harsh when she suddenly heard a steady sound of footsteps at the door of the store.
When He Tingchen walked in, he happened to see the woman reaching out to push Lin Rushang. His eyes instantly turned cold, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Rushang's wrist, and protected her behind him.
"What's going on?"
Lin Rushuang was a little surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't you see the message I sent you?"
Lin Rushuang quickly took out her cell phone and saw the message from He Tingchen, saying that he had finished his work and was coming to pick her up.
"Sorry, Yang Xin and I were strolling around and didn't check our phones."
"It's okay." He Tingchen patted Lin Rushang's shoulder lightly.
Yang Xin is not as good-tempered as Lin Rushang. She was not afraid just now, and now that He Tingchen is here, she is even less afraid.
Without waiting for Lin Rushang to speak, Yang Xin recounted what had just happened.
He Tingchen's voice was as cold as an ice cellar. He glanced at him, and the other person subconsciously took two steps back.
"I can compensate you for the milk powder," He Tingchen said in a low voice, but with an unquestionable aura, "but you just said that this mall is managed by your husband?"
When the woman saw him wearing a well-tailored suit and with an extraordinary temperament, she felt a little uneasy, but she still held on.
"So what? My husband is the general manager here. If you know what's good for you, just pay me and apologize. Otherwise, don't even think about buying anything from this mall anymore."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and made a call, her tone coquettish.
"Hubby, I was bullied in the maternity and baby store. Come and take charge of it for me."
Not long after, a man in a suit with a slightly protruding belly walked in quickly. It was the mall's General Manager Zhang.
As soon as he saw the woman, he smiled widely: "Wife, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"That's them!" The woman pointed at Lin Rushuang and He Tingchen. "They hit me and refused to compensate me, and you even dared to glare at me! Get them out now, and don't let them come to our mall anymore!"
General Manager Zhang looked in the direction she pointed and was about to start scolding, but when he saw He Tingchen's face clearly, his face turned pale instantly, he stumbled, and stammered.
"He... Mr. He? Why are you here?"
The woman was stunned: "Husband, do you know him?"
"Know him?" General Manager Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked quickly to He Tingchen, and bowed. "Mr. He, I'm so sorry. It's my wife who didn't recognize you and offended you and Mrs. He. I apologize on her behalf!"
The woman was completely confused: "Husband, what are you talking about? Who is he?"
He Tingchen didn't look at General Manager Zhang. He just lowered his head to help Lin Rushang tidy up the messy hair on her forehead. However, his calm tone sounded like a thousand ships passing by, and it was so fierce.
"Manager Zhang, I remember three years ago, your mall's capital chain broke down, and it was the LS Group that injected 300 million yuan that kept you going until now, right?"
General Manager Zhang lowered his head even lower. "It's...it's your great kindness that saved our mall."
"I saved you because the project had some potential," He Tingchen raised his eyes and scanned him sharply, "but I never said you could allow your family to run rampant in the business world and bully my wife."
He paused, and there was a hint of pressure in his voice.
"LS Group's capital injection agreement clearly states that if the mall engages in activities that harm shareholder interests, we have the right to withdraw our investment at any time. How long do you think your mall can survive if LS withdraws its investment?"
General Manager Zhang's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
"Mr. He, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I failed to manage my wife well. I will ask her to apologize to you and Mrs. He and compensate for all losses. Please do not withdraw your investment!"
As he spoke, he pulled the still dazed woman over and pushed her forcefully in front of Lin Rushuang: "Quick! Apologize to Mrs. He! Say you were wrong!"
The woman then realized that the man in front of her was actually a major shareholder of the shopping mall. Her arrogance disappeared in an instant, and she bowed to Lin Rushuang with a pale face.
"Mrs. He, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper and asked you to pay for it. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me..."
Lin Rushuang looked at her embarrassed appearance without any emotion, and she didn't want to accept an apology from such a person, not to mention that she had not suffered any loss.
"Let's go."
He Tingchen held Lin Rushuang's hand and said to General Manager Zhang, "Manage your people and don't let me see this kind of thing again!"
