Chapter 56 There's always a reason why someone is pitiful!
"Okay, okay!"
Old Zhou readily agreed, immediately put on white gloves, gathered all his tools, and carefully carried the bottle out.
He looked at it very carefully and attentively.
It was as if the world consisted only of him and this bottle.
Jiang Ling knew she couldn't get a result right away, so she stood up and walked around the shop.
Old Zhou's shop is twice the size of Boss Zeng's shop in town.
The displayed items are also more antique and exquisite, exuding a profound sense of history.
I had only been looking around for a short while when a luxury car pulled up outside the shop.
A man and a woman walked in, arm in arm.
"Young Master Li, you promised to buy me a gift, so you can't go back on your word!"
Jiang Ling felt her scalp tingle from the way the voice was hushed!
She looked over instinctively, only to unexpectedly see a familiar face!
Wang Jingjing?!
"I know, I know!" The man called Young Master Li replied dismissively, with a hint of impatience.
Wang Jingjing smiled sweetly. She had inquired and found out that this was the most expensive antique shop!
We have to bleed this sugar daddy dry today!
As soon as she entered, her eyes greedily scanned the surroundings, completely unaware that there was another person standing in the store.
However, Li Shaoqun, who was standing next to her, was immediately drawn to Jiang Ling.
She was dressed in simple casual clothes, without makeup, yet she possessed a cool and refined temperament that blended strangely with the antique environment.
"Wow, so beautiful..."
Wang Jingjing was displeased by Li Shaoqun's words and immediately looked up.
Jiang Ling had no intention of attracting anyone's attention; she was just there to sell vases and didn't want to get involved.
He walked back to his seat alone, but was suddenly called back.
"Jiang Ling?!"
Jiang Ling paused, and Wang Jingjing quickly walked over.
Once she confirmed that it really was Jiang Ling, she snorted coldly.
"Hey! It really is you?"
Wang Jingjing glanced at her from head to toe.
Jiang Ling had just changed out of her ancient costume and, for convenience, casually put on a set of casual clothes.
She has long since lost the aura of a wealthy young lady.
"What, the former eldest daughter of the Jiang family has fallen to working in a street shop? Hahaha."
Li Shaoqun also came over, his eyes never leaving Jiang Ling.
He asked Wang Jingjing, "Do you two know each other?"
Wang Jingjing was unhappy with the way he looked at Jiang Ling. From childhood to adulthood, wherever Jiang Ling was, men's eyes would never be on her!
But things are different now! The Jiang family has gone bankrupt!
What good is a pretty face if you don't have one?
She raised her chin, a triumphant gleam in her eyes:
"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who was burdened with debt after the fireworks factory explosion, forced to drop out of school, and forced to work to pay off her debts?"
Jiang Ling gave her a cold glance.
Wang Jingjing's attire was as revealing as ever; despite being only 19 years old, she dressed like a prostitute.
"Are you done talking?"
Wang Jingjing sneered, "What? You, a mere laborer, dare to give me attitude? Considering we were once classmates, don't say I don't pity you. Kneel down right now and shine my shoes, and I'll give you a thousand yuan. That's enough for you to work for several days, isn't it?"
The feeling of trampling the once-untouchable beauty underfoot is just so exhilarating!
Before Jiang Ling could speak, Li Shaoqun, who was standing next to her, began to show his pity for her.
How could such a beautiful woman do such a thing?
Short of money? That makes things easy!
He spoke in a gentlemanly manner, "Jingjing, please don't make things difficult for me. Is Miss Jiang in a hurry for money right now? Perhaps I can help you solve this problem."
The expression on his face spoke volumes; the price for helping was having to climb into bed with him.
Wang Jingjing's expression changed. "Young Master Li! You wouldn't have taken a liking to her, would you?"
Li Shaoqun coughed lightly, "I couldn't bear to see Miss Jiang in such a sorry state; I just wanted to lend a helping hand."
Jiang Ling wanted to laugh when she heard this.
"I have no interest in your lovey-dovey drama, and I don't want to be a part of your play. Besides, I'm not here to work, so please show some respect! If you say anything like that again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Wang Jingjing sneered, "Do you still think you're the Miss Jiang you used to be? We're only being polite by playing games with you!"
Jiang Ling glanced at Old Zhou, who was still focused on the vase. After all, these two were customers of his shop, and she didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward.
She gave a cold laugh, her indifferent gaze fixed on Wang Jingjing.
"I don't need your respect! Don't forget, you weren't even worthy to carry my shoes before!"
Jiang Ling turned and walked towards the tea table, but suddenly felt a pain in her arm.
It turned out that Wang Jingjing reached out and grabbed her back.
Jiang Ling's eyes turned cold: "Let go!"
Wang Jingjing didn't care at all, "What can you do to me if I don't let you go? With your current status, do you think you'd dare to hit me...?"
"Smack—!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ling slapped her across the face.
Five finger marks were clearly visible on Wang Jingjing's left cheek.
She covered her face, staring at Jiang Ling in disbelief, her voice trembling:
"You! You dare hit me?!"
"Wang Jingjing, you asked for this! I don't want to waste my time on you. Take good care of your sugar daddy, and don't forget your stepfather is still waiting for you to hook up with other sugar daddies to secure his business!"
Wang Jingjing followed her mother in her second marriage to the current Wang family. In order to integrate into the family, her mother even changed Wang Jingjing's surname.
It is said that Wang Jingjing did not have a good life in the Wang family. In order to please the Wang family, her mother made Wang Jingjing, who was only a teenager, to seduce men in the entertainment circle and bring business to the Wang family.
Jiang Ling even sympathized with Wang Jingjing for a period of time because of this.
Later I realized that there's always a reason why someone is pitiful!
Jiang Ling would never use such hurtful words. In the past, if she didn't like something, she would just leave. No one ever bothered her before.
This time, Wang Jingjing really went too far, and she could no longer tolerate it!
"Jiang Ling! You!" Wang Jingjing's biggest wound was torn open in public, leaving it raw and bleeding.
Enraged, Wang Jingjing tried to pounce on Jiang Ling, but was intimidated by her cold gaze and dared not move.
"Young Master Li, she's offended my Yao! We're about to get engaged, you have to help me teach her a lesson!"
"Miss Jiang, you really don't respect the Li family at all!"
Li Shaoqun couldn't stand it anymore, not because she slapped Wang Jingjing.
He was also aware of Wang Jingjing's purpose in getting close to him; if she offered herself up, he might as well take advantage of it, and he could just give her some money at worst.
But it's different when this kind of thing is said in public, especially since Jiang Ling dared to call him a sucker!
This is practically a public slap in the face for him!
"Young Master Li, I did not make things difficult for you, nor did I name you. Please do not provoke me," Jiang Ling said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Shaoqun has a bad reputation in the industry. He's into all sorts of vices, so he can only associate with people like Wang Jingjing!
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Old Zhou, who had been intently looking at the vase, finally realized what was happening.
He strode forward, looking at Wang Jingjing and Li Shaoqun with puzzled expressions.
Upon receiving Ms. Jiang's call, he asked all his other customers to leave, intending to focus solely on doing business with her that day.
How did these two guests get in?
He glanced at the door and realized he had forgotten to close it when he came in.
"Gentlemen, I am Zhou Wenyuan, the owner of this place. Please feel free to look around if you need anything. I have other things to attend to right now."
