In the parking lot, Lin Moxiao leaned against the car door, patiently listening to Jiang Shuyue's rude verbal attacks.
Out of professional ethics, Jiang Shuyue had always felt that Lin Moxiao was casual and unrestrained, but she was measured in her actions and not the kind of person who acted without considering the consequences. Even though they were classmates, she did not hold back in revealing what she had seen that day.
Jiang Shuyue said righteously, "Lin Moxiao, you and I have been classmates for three years. I know that you are surrounded by many beautiful women. Although those women have nothing to do with me, please do not provoke my cousin for no reason. She now has a family and a child. You would better stay away and not let her bear the blame."
Lin Moxiao's eyes were pitch black, cold and aloof, without any ripples. She sneered, "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Shuyue did not back down. She would not allow the man in front of her to hurt her cousin at will. With her usual protective mentality, she continued, "Lin Moxiao, I'm warning you, stay away from my cousin. She is not someone you can mess with, nor is she a tool you can just take to a hotel and play with for a night."
Upon hearing this, Lin Moxiao frowned slightly, looked at her with a suspicious and scrutinizing gaze, and said in a low voice, "You followed me."
Jiang Shuyue's eyes flashed. She had been startled by his sharp gaze, but then she pretended to be certain and snorted coldly: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. Are you afraid that others will know what you've done? Do you think you're a clean person with a noble appearance but a completely shameless interior?"
Lin Moxiao remembered. He had taken the initiative to ask Zhou Xiaojing out that time, taking her to the mall to buy her favorite cosmetics and a gold pearl necklace—things Zhou Xiaojing had been longing for. After buying them, that night, still feeling the intimacy, they went to a hotel together, intending to spend the night together. For some reason, after Zhou Xiaojing showered, she hadn't removed her makeup. On a whim, he insisted she remove it before he would touch her. But Zhou Xiaojing became coy and whiny, rubbing against him, soft and delicate, refusing to remove her makeup. He frowned, his patience... Completely disinterested, his white shirt stained with specks of pink, he angrily took a cold shower. Afterwards, he didn't look at Zhou Xiaojing again, took his clothes and went back to the Yushan Apartment. Just like that, he bought the things, spent the money, booked the hotel, and did nothing. He had done this kind of thing many times before. Even Wang Yingying considered him a sucker, which was indeed true. He had never mistreated any of the women who had been with him, and he thought so too. Therefore, he didn't feel indebted at all, nor did he feel any pity for them.
Lin Moxiao glanced at Jiang Shuyue, not refuting her, nor did he want to explain so much. He only said one more word because she was his former classmate. His angular face was calm and cold, his eyes were downcast, and he crossed his arms and said, "Since that's the case, neither of us are virgins. What's wrong with being together? So what if she's married? Can't we still get a divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Jiang Shuyue never expected this person to be so evil, despicable, and even unreasonable. He actually thought of making her cousin divorce her husband. What was he trying to do? Was he openly trying to steal Jiang Shuya away? She was immediately furious. Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly said, "I heard Wang Ziliang say that you are a non-marriage advocate, so why bother with her? Even if she rejected you before, she didn't have any good feelings towards you. Even if she admired you, it didn't amount to liking you, let alone loving you. You've seen her current situation. She's struggling at the bottom of society, her income is far lower than yours, her social status is zero, and her education is only at the high school level. I don't think you would appreciate someone like her. You should go and find someone who is right for you to spend your life with."
Jiang Shuyue deliberately told her about Jiang Shuya's current situation in order to keep the man in front of her away from her cousin. It was indeed the case. Jiang Shuya was busy like a spinning top every day, leaving early and returning late, exhausted like a dog. She often ate one meal and couldn't even think about the next, and was often hungry. Unlike many office workers, she didn't have a weekend off or a holiday. She worked all year round, and could only rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year when the courier service was closed.
"Thank you for reminding me, but that's my business." Lin Moxiao turned around coldly, opened the car door, and without listening to him say another word, she didn't even offer the most basic greeting to her classmate before getting into the car and driving away.
Jiang Shuya, who was engrossed in checking the goods in the store, was only focused on reconciling the orders in her hands. She had no idea that her cousin was confronting that man for her sake.
There were unusually few staff members in the store today, which puzzled Jiang Shuya. Watching Zheng Jia's busy figure, she curiously asked, "Your shift is missing three people. Are you quitting?"
Zheng Jia muttered, sniffing with her bright red lips, her face full of worry: "Two of them went home to get married. After returning to work after the New Year, one of them was fired. Last month, during inventory, two shifts were randomly selected for night inventory. Someone's wallet was robbed of money in the changing room. Some people suspected that the fired person took it. Manager Feng didn't report it to the mall, but spoke to the person privately, intending to give her another chance. At first, the person denied taking the money, but later, the manager said something to her, and the money in the wallet suddenly came back. The person who was suspected even resigned voluntarily. Isn't that strange? Since she took the money and returned it, it means she wasn't completely bad, and she even resigned voluntarily. Why didn't the manager give her another chance? I think our manager is very reasonable, but actually, she's very soft-hearted and easy to talk to. Why won't she forgive her?"
Jiang Shuya smiled and looked up at her innocent expression: "It's not that your store manager is heartless. Maybe that person was introduced by your store manager, so she must know her character. I guess that before your colleague, your store manager had also lost money and suspected that person of taking it. It's not surprising that such things happen again after the first time. If I were your store manager, I wouldn't keep her. Keeping her around for a long time will only bring trouble to those around her."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jia's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized, saying, "You're absolutely right. She really does live with Manager Feng. Although it's a shared apartment, visiting each other is a common occurrence. It's true what they say, it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home, and it's hard to deal with a petty person."
Jiang Shuya watched with a smile as she swayed her hips to attract customers again. The next moment, she looked disgusted and said, "My god! Who are these people? They look like they're selling clothes, but they dress up so extravagantly all the time. If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a modern-day brothel."
