Chapter 254 Completing the Mission
Liu Min said with a forced smile, "Miss Liu is overthinking it. How could such a thing happen? My master only ordered me to protect Miss Liu. No one is allowed to bully her, not just Miss Liu."
However, Liu Zijun's face turned even uglier after hearing this. She didn't think Liu Min's words were kind. In her opinion, Jiang Mi was even more troublesome than she had expected. How could she, the daughter of a prime minister, be inferior to a country girl?
"Is that so? If Brother Huo Ran cares about her so much, why didn't he come?" Zhao Zhilan couldn't help but ask sourly. Although she couldn't compare to Liu Zijun's status, she shouldn't be inferior to even a country girl, right?
"Master has his own matters to attend to. He will appear when he wishes. Ladies, please don't make things difficult for Miss Jiang; otherwise, this servant will also be in a difficult position."
Liu Zijun bit her lip in resentment, her almond-shaped eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Mi. If she weren't worried about upsetting Huo Ran, she wouldn't be so aggrieved. She had always been pampered since she was a child, and had never suffered such grievances.
"Alright, for Brother Huo Ran's sake, I'll let this woman off for now. But if she dares to seduce Brother Huo Ran again in the future, I will definitely not let her off."
Liu Min merely twitched the corner of his mouth without saying anything. If Liu Zijun dealt with Jiang Mi, then he would have no choice but to lend a hand, otherwise he would definitely be beaten by his master when he returned.
"You want to let me go? I don't know what I have that you need to let go of." Jiang Mi was not going to let go of such a good opportunity. Liu Zijun was practically delivering herself to her doorstep to complete her mission. If she missed this chance, who knew when she would get another one.
"What do you mean?" Liu Zijun was about to turn around and leave when Jiang Mi became the one who wouldn't let it go.
"You're as stupid as a pig! Can't you even understand what I'm saying? You've grown up, and all you know is how to bully others, but you can't even understand what other people are saying?"
Liu Zijun was surprised that Jiang Mi dared to scold her and didn't react for a moment. Zhao Zhilan was also shocked, but she was happy to watch the show. Over the years, she had been following Liu Zijun and flattering her, which was why she had such good fortune. But it was also painful for her to watch Liu Zijun get the best of everything every day while she could only watch. Now that Jiang Mi had come, it was time for Liu Zijun to experience the same thing.
"Miss Liu, this woman is really pushing her luck. You're so magnanimous, yet she dares to be so disrespectful to you. If you don't teach her a lesson, who will dare to respect you in the future?"
Zhao Zhilan's words made Liu Zijun even angrier. Liu Zijun disliked being provoked the most. She took a few steps closer, and the closer she got, the more she realized that Jiang Mi's skin was really good, so delicate that it made her jealous to the point of madness!
"You're quite something. I'll let it slide for now for Brother Huo Ran's sake, but I didn't expect you to come knocking on my door so readily. Liu Min, you can't blame me for this!"
Liu Min first glared at Zhao Zhilan, who had stirred up trouble, and then looked helplessly at Jiang Mi. He wondered what this little princess was planning. Was she deliberately going against her master?
“Miss Liu, I think it’s fate that Miss Jiang has taken a liking to this shop. Why don’t you do a good deed and sell the shop? Anyway, your family is so wealthy, you won’t miss out on one more shop.”
Liu Zijun stared wide-eyed at Liu Min, saying incredulously, "Do you know what you're saying? Putting everything else aside, this location is the best in the entire capital. Opening a shop here is something countless people would kill for. Not only am I not selling this shop, I don't even plan to rent it. Liu Min, is your master's order to protect this woman like this?"
Liu Min shut his mouth and didn't say anything more, but his silence made Liu Zijun even angrier and more jealous.
"Alright, I'd like to see what you, you wild girl, are planning to do. You think you can do anything? Not only are you eyeing my brother Huo Ran, but you're also eyeing my shop. It seems I need to teach you a lesson. You don't know what I, Liu Zijun, am capable of."
Liu Zijun reached out and slapped Jiang Mi's delicate face. She stared at the beautiful face, her eyes filled with even more ruthlessness, and she slapped her harder.
Just as Liu Min was about to stop her, Jiang Mi reached out and grabbed Liu Zijun's wrist. What strength could a rich young lady have? Once Jiang Mi grabbed her wrist, she couldn't move.
"You...you wild girl, let me go!" Liu Zijun didn't expect Jiang Mi to dare to fight back. Now that Jiang Mi was holding her hand, she hit her again with her other hand.
Jiang Mi showed no fear. After restraining Liu Zijun's other hand, she pushed her back hard. Liu Zijun fell to the ground unprepared, cried out, and glared at Jiang Mi with a mixture of grievance and resentment.
The maids behind her hurriedly helped Liu Zijun up. Liu Min was also stunned for a moment, then walked to Jiang Mi's side and whispered, "Miss Jiang, Liu Zijun is, after all, the prime minister's daughter. It's not that my master is afraid of her, but the Liu family is cunning, especially Prime Minister Liu, who is extremely shrewd. It's best to be careful. You've just arrived, so it's best not to offend anyone easily."
Jiang Mi ignored him and slowly walked forward. Liu Zijun saw her approaching and couldn't help but take a few steps back: "What a worry you have! Are you tired of living? How dare you lay a hand on me! I'm going to tell my father and mother when I get home. You're dead!"
Zhao Zhilan revealed a gloating expression. She was extremely happy when Liu Zijun was pushed down. She never thought that the high and mighty Liu Zijun would have such a day. It was really gratifying!
Jiang Mi scoffed, "You're really something, aren't you? If you weren't the prime minister's daughter, you'd definitely be a spineless coward, unable to even fight back. You're such a grown-up, and all you've learned is to cry and complain to your parents. Is this the kind of ability you noble ladies have?"
After Jiang Mi finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd of onlookers, making Liu Zijun even more embarrassed.
“How can my status be compared to yours? Otherwise, why would my father have worked so hard as an official in the court? He did so much for the people, so isn’t it only right that he is respected by you?”
Jiang Mi didn't know much about other people, but she had heard of Prime Minister Liu. The family's taxes were so high, and that was all thanks to Prime Minister Liu!
"Really? May I ask what he has done for us ordinary people?"
