Luo Chenxi looked at her with a pretentious smile. “Zuo Xiaoqing, what right do you have to say that to me? Have you settled your own payment?”
Zuo Xiaoqing’s proud expression suddenly froze.
“Why… Why do you care? As long as my boyfriend arrives, I’ll pay up in a jiffy! What about you? How are you going to cough up the money? You could sell yourself off and you won’t even make this much!”
Luo Chenxi shrugged her shoulders. “That’s for me to handle. All I know is that I should queue up when I pay for things. I’m a civilized person, so I won’t cut the queue. So, please, after you.”
With that, she gestured for Zuo Xiaoqing to go on ahead.
Zuo Xiaoqing’s expression turned an ugly shade as she gritted her teeth and tried to retort.
However, the shop assistant could not wait any longer. “What’s the deal with you two? Is this just straight up an unlucky day for me? Why are you weirdos trying to shop without paying up? Just say so if you can’t afford to buy them and stop wasting my time!”
Zuo Xiaoqing felt so embarrassed that her face turned extremely gloomy.
She had always received the VIP treatment in this shop. When had she ever been ridiculed like this?
Her fingers trembled from rage. “You… you’d better remember this! I’m going to get my boyfriend to pay for it now. I’m going to make complaints about you to the owner of the shop. I’m getting you sacked!”
“I bet you’ve already got dumped by Young Master Chen, yet here you are, saying that you want to file complaints about me? That’s fine, but settle the bill first.” The shop assistant was unshaken.
Zuo Xiaoqing took out her phone and tried to call Young Master Chen..
The call finally got through after a good amount of attempts.
“Hello?”
“Honey, where are you? Have you forgotten that I’m still in the fabric shop at Jiangbei Road? Can you please come here and pick me up, I’ve waited so long for you—”
Zuo Xiaoqing spoke in a pitch that was unusually high and her tone was extremely coquettish.
Luo Chenxi almost threw up from hearing that.
‘Sigh, this couple that reeks of scum and idiocy. Stay away from them, stay away from them.’
Zuo Xiaoqing completely held off from mentioning a single thing about Chen Junjie two-timing her right under her nose. All she wanted was to coax him back to pay her bills.
However, she was greeted with Chen Junjie’s furious voice.
“Zuo Xiaoqing, you d*mn b*tch! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to fall into this miserable state today! How dare you ring me up? Listen here, you better stay as far away as you can. I’ve broken up with you, there’s nothing between us anymore!”
‘Beep, beep—’
Zuo Xiaoqing’s eyes widened in shock when she heard the beeping tone from the phone.
She would never have dreamed that Chen Junjie would say such a thing.
Chen Junjie’s voice was so loud it almost sounded like a roar. Luo Chenxi overheard it even though she was standing some distance away.
She could not help but chuckle.
It seemed that Mu Yichen’s men had dealt with Chen Junjie the harsh way, so much so that he vented his anger on Zuo Xiaoqing instead of reflecting on his mistakes.
However, Zuo Xiaoqing herself was not any better either. Had she not looked for trouble herself by using Chen Junjie to pressure Luo Chenxi, she would not have fallen into this miserable state.
Zuo Xiaoqing’s face was as pale as porcelain. She stood rooted to the ground, unable to say a word.
She actually got dumped by Chen Junjie!
The ticket to a wealthy life that she fought so hard to get was gone just like that!
How did this happen?
A sudden fury ignited deep within her heart as she pointed at Luo Chenxi and cursed, “You damn vixen, it must you. I’ll bet that you said something to Young Master Chen, didn’t you?”
Luo Chenxi glanced at her. “How many times do I have to tell you? I won’t even bat an eye at a man like Chen Junjie!”
“You…”
Zuo Xiaoqing wanted to continue, but the shop assistant chimed in with a frown.
“It seems that Young Master Chen won’t be coming. Miss Zuo, how should we proceed? Are you still buying these materials?”
