Kuang Meiyu and Song Jiarong led Er Ya and San Ya to the garden, where many girls of similar age were chatting in groups of three or five.
Because of her status as the owner and her good interpersonal skills, many young girls came up to greet her as soon as she entered the garden.
Kuang Meiyu introduced them to Er Ya and San Ya one by one.
"Sixth Aunt, are the jade hairpins they're wearing Second Aunt's?" The speaker was Li Yating, the eldest sister's child, Kuang Meiyu. Her tone was accusatory, and her expression was not good.
"Ya-Ting, don't be rude!"
"I clearly had my eye on these white magnolia hairpins first, so why did Second Aunt give them to two girls from the countryside? She has no sense of kinship at all!"
Li Yating glared at Er Ya and San Ya, feeling that Er Ya and San Ya had stolen what belonged to her.
Er Ya and San Ya felt extremely embarrassed, their faces turning bright red.
"Li Yating, this is the Kuang family, not the Li family! They are guests of the Kuang family, please watch your words and actions!" Kuang Meiyu was furious. "Apologize immediately, or leave the Kuang family!"
Li Yating looked at Kuang Meiyu in disbelief: "Auntie, have you lost your mind? We're in cahoots!"
With a "smack," Kuang Meiyu slapped him across the face.
Li Yating burst into tears: "You hit me? You actually hit me!"
Kuang Meiqin rushed over upon hearing the noise: "What happened?"
Li Yating cried out, "Mom, my aunt hit me! My aunt hit me for some other wretched girl! Waaah..."
"You're the one who's a slut!" Er Ya said angrily. "You have no respect for elders and you even insult your own aunt. Someone like you who doesn't know the difference between superiors and inferiors deserves a slap."
Sanya mustered her courage and retorted, "In my mother's words, it's because you lack the harsh realities of society!"
"Who the hell are you two? How dare you talk about my daughters?" Kuang Meiqin roared, her gaze also falling on the white magnolia hairpins in Er Ya and San Ya's hair. She completely lost control. "Where did you get those hairpins? Did you steal them? I'm taking you to the authorities!"
Seeing this, the other girls whispered among themselves, while Mo Yalan was secretly delighted, eager to see Er Ya and San Ya suffer.
Kuang Meiyu shielded Er Ya and San Ya behind her, her face flushed with anger: "Eldest sister, don't be unreasonable here! The hairpin was a gift from Second Sister to them! They are honored guests invited by Second Sister!"
Li Yating: "Two country girls, do they even deserve the word 'noble'?"
"We're from the countryside, did we eat your rice or steamed buns?" Er Ya retorted domineeringly. "Insulting elders and eyeing other people's jewelry, you city folks are really well-mannered! You've opened the eyes of a country bumpkin like me!"
Li Yating was furious that she was being looked down upon by someone from the countryside!
Enraged, she waved her hand to teach Er Ya a lesson.
"stop!"
Yang Cui and Kuang Meiyun arrived upon hearing the commotion.
Kwong Mei-wan glared angrily at Kwong Mei-kam and her daughter, "What are you doing? Who let you in? Bullying my guest on my turf, Kwong Mei-kam, you've really grown bold!"
"Second Aunt, why did you give the magnolia hairpin to these two country bumpkins?"
Do I need your permission to give my things to whomever I want?
Kwong Mei-kam: "Second sister, we're family, don't worry about outsiders..."
"You're an outsider here too!" Kwong Mei-wan showed no respect for Kwong Mei-kam. "Guards, take them out. From now on, no member of the Li family is allowed to set foot here without my permission!"
Kuang Meiqin's expression changed drastically: "Meiyun, what do you mean?"
"That's what you heard: the Kuang family doesn't welcome you! Show them out!"
At Kuang Meiyun's command, several maids immediately appeared and surrounded Kuang Meiqin. Kuang Meiqin pushed them away, saying, "Kuang Meiyun, how dare you send me away! I want to see my mother, I want to ask the clan leader for justice!"
"Are you planning to invite the Li family head or the Kuang family head? The Li family head has no jurisdiction over the Kuang family, and the Kuang family head won't concern himself with the Li family's affairs."
At this moment, several maids tried to pull Kwong Mei-kam and her daughter away, but Kwong Mei-kam kicked them all away and pointed at Kwong Mei-wan, cursing: "Kwong Mei-wan, you're just an old woman no man wants, you'll never get married in your life, and you dare not let me into the house? What's the use of earning so much money? You can't take it with you to the coffin and you won't have a son to see you off in your final days. I wish you'll never get married in your life!"
Kuang Meiyun clenched her fist in anger; if it weren't for the many guests present, she would have wanted to go up and tear her mouth apart.
Yang Cui was also shocked. Were these really sisters?
Kuang Meiyun took a deep breath to calm herself down and said, "Wanqiu, spread the word that from now on, any purchases made by the Li family at Fangya Pavilion must be at full price, and no credit is allowed! Also, sever all business ties between Fangya Pavilion and the Li family!"
Upon hearing this, Kwong Mei-kam felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Li family isn't well-off; their income comes entirely from supplying flower raw materials to Fangya Pavilion. If Kuang Meiyun cuts off the cooperation, the entire Li family will likely starve.
"You can't do this! Kwong Mei-wan, you can't do this!"
Several maids struggled to drag the mother and daughter out, and Kwong Mei-kam's voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.
Yang Cui thought this woman must be out of her mind. She had her throat in someone else's hands, yet she was still so arrogant!
"I'm so sorry, everyone. Please excuse my poor appearance. Wanqing, go and give each of our guests a sample of our Fangya Pavilion's new nail polish."
Yang Cui thought that Kuang Meiyun truly deserved to be the person in charge who developed Fangya Pavilion. At this time, she was still promoting her new products. She was really amazing!
Afterwards, Kwong Mei-wan sincerely apologized to Yang Cui and her two daughters: "I'm so sorry, I never expected this to happen."
Kwong Mei-wan admired Yang Cui and invited her over, hoping to build a relationship and lay the foundation for future cooperation. Who knew that she would encounter such a thing in her own home? She hated Kwong Mei-kam to the core.
