The previously noisy private room instantly fell silent, and everyone present turned to look at Xia Xiaoyue and Zhong Jingjing.
Xia Xiaoyue was used to being the center of attention and didn't care at all. But suddenly being stared at by so many eyes made Zhong Jingjing feel a little uncomfortable, and she shrank back nervously for no reason.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyue?" Gao Hongfei, who was getting impatient with Dong Cang, immediately took the opportunity to break free and come over to ask.
Gao Han and Ling Shuang also took the opportunity to break away and surround Xia Xiaoyue, looking at her with concern.
As the older twin, Xia Xiaoyue always felt that she was not as popular as her younger sister Fanxing because her younger sister Fanxing was different from her and inherited her great-grandmother's strength. She was always envious and jealous. Now that she found herself in the spotlight, her younger sister couldn't even catch up and could only watch longingly. She couldn't help but blush with excitement.
"Grandpa, the shop assistants at Grandma's clothing store are really too much!" Xia Xiaoyue looked at Gao Hongfei indignantly, pointed at Zhong Jingjing next to her, and complained to Gao Hongfei, "My cousin-in-law Jingjing went to the store to buy clothes and support the business. Not only did they not treat her well, but they also scolded her for being fat and forced her to spend 3,000 yuan to buy this dress."
All eyes immediately fell on Zhong Jingjing. The dress was nice, but it just didn't suit her at all.
Gao Yue had noticed Zhong Jingjing's dress long ago, but seeing how happy she was wearing it, she was too embarrassed to mention it. She had secretly wondered where Zhong Jingjing had bought the dress, wondering which store's sales assistant was so irresponsible that she would never go there again. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be from her mother's store.
Gao Yue looked at Zhong Jingjing with disbelief and asked, "Did you buy this dress at Zhaolan?"
Zhong Jingjing nodded.
"Impossible, right? I've been to Zhaolan before, the staff there wouldn't be so irresponsible," Gao Yue said skeptically.
Ling Shuang nodded in agreement. As it was her mother-in-law's first time starting a business, she had naturally gone to support her.
Zhong Jingjing blinked hard twice, squeezing out two tears, looking aggrieved, and said, "It's true. I told them that our family and their boss are related by marriage, and asked them not to go too far, but they didn't believe me and even laughed at me. My husband couldn't stand it and argued with them, and they even threw my husband out."
"It was thrown out?" The people around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That can't be, right?" Ling Shuang didn't believe it. Because it was her first time starting a business, almost all the employees in the store were personally interviewed and hired by her mother-in-law. Putting everything else aside, she trusted her mother-in-law's judgment.
“I’m telling the truth.” Seeing that they didn’t believe her, Zhong Jingjing became anxious and described the whole incident in detail. “Their shop assistant found a country bumpkin dressed in a rustic style, with a basket on her back. She grabbed my husband with one hand and threw him from the fitting room all the way to the front door, several meters away. My husband’s face turned white from the fall. That country bumpkin even had the audacity to say that she was the owner of the shop.”
The elders of the Dong family were unaware that their beloved grandson (son) had been thrown to the ground. Upon hearing this, they were all alarmed and surrounded Dong Yingjun, asking anxiously, "How are you, Yingjun? Are you hurt? Such a serious incident, why didn't you say a word when you came back? Call the police, we must call the police, we absolutely cannot let that country bumpkin get away with this, how dare he hurt my grandson (son)."
Upon hearing that the police were to be called, Dong Yingjun's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "No, no need. I just fell and wasn't hurt at all. There's no need to call the police."
"How can that be? There are no external injuries, maybe it's internal? We'll go to the hospital for a thorough check-up later, then have the police arrest that country bumpkin and make him pay compensation." Dong Cheng said with a stern face, then turned to look at the Gao family expectantly, "We're in-laws, you wouldn't refuse to help with such a small thing, would you?"
The Gao family members all had strange expressions. At first, when they heard Zhong Jingjing describe the man's attire, they were just skeptical. He was dressed in a very rustic way and was carrying a basket on his back. Why did he sound so familiar? But when they heard Zhong Jingjing say that the man claimed to be the owner of that shop, they suddenly realized.
Who else could it be but that person?
They were even more certain of their suspicions, especially since they all knew that the person who would be going with Ying Rongrong today would indeed appear in Zhaolan.
“We should definitely call the police.” Gao Mingcheng looked coldly at the Dong family and said, “There aren’t many good people who would let her take action.”
The Dong family members, seeing Gao Mingcheng's serious face, involuntarily shuddered and looked at him with fear: "What...what do you mean?"
Gao Mingcheng turned to look at Gao Hongfei: "Let's do as they want and call the police."
Gao Hongfei nodded and took out his phone.
The Dong family was stunned, unsure of what to do. Although the Gao family had given them their wish and were going to call the police, why did they feel so uneasy?
When Dong Yingjun and Zhong Jingjing saw that Gao Hongfei was really going to call the police, they panicked and shouted, "No, we can't let them call the police!"
After a brief moment of shock, the Dong family members quickly realized that things were probably not as their grandson and granddaughter-in-law (son and daughter-in-law) had said. They immediately swarmed forward and pounced on Gao Hongfei, trying to snatch his phone.
Before Gao Hongfei could react, he was surrounded and pulled around.
Seeing that things were going badly, Gao Han and Gao Lianzhou rushed over to help.
Xia Chen noticed something was wrong and wanted to go over, but Dong Cui stopped him.
The scene was quite chaotic at one point.
Just then, the previously closed door to the private room was forcefully pushed open.
Xing Zhaozhao and Ying Rongrong stood at the door, staring at the chaos inside. They were stunned for a moment, and their faces quickly darkened.
"What are you doing? Stop it!" Xing Zhaozhao shouted angrily.
The private room fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped and turned to look at the door, following the sound.
Upon seeing Xing Zhaozhao, the Gao family members' eyes lit up.
“Zhao Zhao…” A faint smile appeared on Gao Mingcheng’s usually cold and hard face.
Gao Hongfei exclaimed with delight, "Mom..."
The Dong family members all tilted their heads in disbelief as they looked at Gao Hongfei. "What did you just call her?"
Gao Lianzhou called out with a smile, "Fairy Sister..."
The Dong family: "..."
The Dong family was completely bewildered. Who exactly was she?
Dong Cang recognized Xing Zhaozhao and his face darkened: "It's you?!"
Xing Zhaozhao's chilling gaze swept over each member of the Dong family: "You Dong family members are truly persistent. First, you caused trouble at Fu Hong's place, then you went to Zhao Lan to act crazy, and now you're even bullying my son..."
After saying that, Xing Zhaozhao walked straight over, pushed aside the people surrounding Gao Hongfei, and casually threw them aside: "Get out of my way..."
