"Wanwan, we're doing this for your own good. Look at that bald uncle, he could be your father!" Bai Qinglian said softly.
"Slap!" Jiang Wanwan stepped forward and slapped him.
Bai Qinglian was a little dazed after being hit. After a moment of stunned silence, she covered her face and looked at Jiang Wanwan in disbelief. A clear handprint quickly swelled up on her face.
Then she came to her senses, covered her swollen face, and screamed, "You bitch! How dare you hit me!"
"Hmm! You have to pick a day to beat me up?" Jiang Wanwan looked down at her with disdain, as if she were looking at a clown.
"Jiang Wanwan, you've gone too far!" Zhou Yu pulled Bai Qinglian behind him, adopting a protective stance, his face full of anger and dissatisfaction.
His gaze was fixed on Jiang Wanwan, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
"You two, how dare you! Go and get security, kick these two out, and blacklist them from the mall," Mu Tingchuan ordered the mall staff with a stern expression.
"Haha! Blacklisted, uncle. Do you know who owns this mall?" Bai Qinglian's snake-like face was full of sarcasm and disdain.
"Oh, who is it?" Mu Tingchuan's voice carried a hint of depth and coldness.
Bai Qinglian looked at Mu Tingchuan triumphantly, a sly glint in her eyes. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Quick, Yu Yu, tell them who owns this shopping mall?"
Zhou Yuqing cleared his throat, crossed his arms, and said arrogantly with his nostrils pointing to the sky, "Listen up, you country bumpkins. You should have heard of Li Hai, the president of the World Trade Center, right? His daughter, Li Jiaojiao, is my wife, and my wife is President Li's only heir."
"Oh! I thought your wife was Bai Qinglian?" Jiang Wanwan's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile, her eyes glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the two of them standing intimately, and she said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinglian's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She stomped her foot forcefully, quickly distancing herself from Zhou Yu, and hurriedly explained, "Jiang Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking about? Yu Yu and I are just friends from the same hometown. Don't talk nonsense."
Mu Tingchuan sneered, "So you're just bullying people because you have a rich father-in-law backing you up! Too bad you've messed with the wrong person."
He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Secretary Li, please check on the son-in-law of Li Hai, a shareholder of our company."
Seeing Mu Tingchuan's calm demeanor, Zhou Yu and Bai Qinglian began to have some doubts.
Could this unassuming middle-aged man really have some kind of background? However, they quickly reassured themselves that perhaps Mu Tingchuan was just bluffing.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yu's phone rang.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu's face turned ashen, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
He never imagined that the man in front of him would actually have such great abilities.
“Mr. Mu… I’m sorry, I… I didn’t know you were…” Zhou Yu stammered.
"No need to say anything more. Take this disgusting woman and get out of my sight." Mu Tingchuan waved his hand dismissively.
Zhou Yu and Bai Qinglian slunk away from the mall. Watching them leave, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, society is a big melting pot!"
"Ms. Jiang, I'm so sorry you had a bad shopping experience," Mu Tingchuan said apologetically, his tone so humble that it was impossible to refuse.
Jiang Wanwan waved her hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Those two people obviously don't like me and are here to cause me trouble."
Mu Tingchuan asked softly, "Do you need me to teach them a lesson?"
Jiang Wanwan shook her head and replied, "No need to trouble yourself."
Then, she looked at Mu Tingchuan and continued, "Alright, you don't need to accompany me shopping anymore. I want to shop by myself."
Mu Tingchuan nodded, handed the bag to Jiang Wanwan, and took out a black card, giving it to her and explaining:
"Ms. Jiang, this is our company's VIP card. You can use it to pay for all your purchases. If you encounter any problems or need any assistance during your shopping, please feel free to contact me. My phone is always on and ready to assist you."
Jiang Wanwan took the black card and watched Mu Tingchuan's departing figure, thinking to herself that this person was really thoughtful and considerate.
After adjusting their mood, Jiang Wanwan and Old Xia resumed their shopping with great enthusiasm.
In the Yan family study, Yan Yunzhi sat at his desk, his brow furrowed as he stared intently at the documents in his hands. A knock on the door broke the silence.
"Come in!" Yan Yunzhi said without looking up.
The door slowly opened, and a young man walked in. He was tall and handsome; he was Yan Yunzhi's son, Yan Ziyan.
"Father, what brings you here?" Yan Ziyan walked to the desk and asked respectfully.
Yan Yunzhi looked up at his son, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He put down the documents in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the scenery outside.
"Xiao Yan, do you still remember that bottle of miraculous medicine you took out to save me last time?" Yan Yunzhi suddenly asked.
Yan Ziyan was slightly taken aback, then nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why his father would suddenly bring this up.
"Dad, why are you asking about this?" Yan Ziyan asked softly.
Yan Yunzhi sighed, turned around, looked at his son, his eyes full of worry.
"A lot has happened recently that has made me very worried. In particular, the person mentioned above is getting worse and worse, to the point that it is beyond saving."
Meanwhile, the Wang and Xie families are engaging in underhanded tactics, attempting to seize power. "If something were to happen to the person in charge, I fear the country would descend into chaos," Yan Yunzhi said gravely.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ziyan's face turned extremely grim. He knew that what his father was saying concerned the safety of the entire nation.
"Father, do you want to save the one up there?" Yan Ziyan asked tentatively.
Yan Yunzhi nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"I know this might have some impact on you, but I really have no other choice. Only if the person in charge is still in power can we maintain stability and prevent the Wang and Xie families from succeeding."
Otherwise, if the Wang family, who treat human life like dirt, gains power, we and the common people will suffer. Therefore, no matter what, I hope to do my part." Yan Yunzhi said sincerely.
Yan Ziyan was silent for a moment, then said:
"Alright, Father, in that case, I'm willing to take out the medicine. However, I still need to ask my sect," Yan Ziyan said.
Yan Yunzhi patted his son on the shoulder gratefully and said, "Thank you, son. I know you have made a great contribution to the country, and I am proud of you."
Yan Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Father, this is what I should do. As a member of the Yan family, I have a responsibility to serve the country."
