"I didn’t want to, it really wasn’t me acting up," the girl said with extreme grievance, "Look at me, all drenched , and they still demand that I compensate. They’re just being unreasonable because they think I’m young and easy to bully."
As soon as Xu Yuan heard the girl mention ’Brother Annan,’ she felt as if thunder had struck on a clear day.
Normally, she would have interrupted before the girl could even finish her first sentence.
But now, she could only glance at Lu Wanwan from the corner of her eye.
Lu Wanwan stood in front of the counter, with her back to them, looking at the receipt handed to her by the cashier.
"She’s talking about me," Xu Yuan’s tone was no longer as impulsive as before, and she put her bubble tea cup aside, "This, I have no idea who it belongs to, but they weren’t watching where they were going, knocked into me and spilled my bubble tea, yet I’m the one who’s supposed to compensate for the clothes."
"Yunsi?" Gu Annan’s voice betrayed no emotion, but it did carry a note of inquiry.
Gu Yunsi argued, "Not at all, she’s lying. It’s her who deliberately picked on me."
The sense of injustice was so intense she was almost crying on the spot.
It was as if she had finally found someone to take her side.
Xu Yuan was relieved that Lu Wanwan had her back turned; otherwise, if she saw what Gu Annan’s new flame was like, she might die of anger.
Xu Yuan felt a surge of indignation, immediately assuming the girl to be Gu Annan’s new interest upon seeing her behavior.
"What taste," Xu Yuan glanced disdainfully at Gu Yunsi, "The men these days just want young flesh, they don’t even consider intelligence or emotional quotient. As if I have nothing better to do than to dislike her for no reason, am I that bored?"
Gu Yunsi became even more incensed upon hearing this.
She had intended to show off her presence to her cousin and put these two women who didn’t take her seriously in their place, to let them see where the class barrier lay.
This woman was foolishly making things worse; didn’t she know who her cousin was?
"She’s my cousin," Gu Annan said indifferently, which could pass for an explanation.
"Cousin," Gu Yunsi said, not quite content, "That dress was chosen by Sister Man, and there were only two left, and now one of them is ruined. What should we do?"
Xu Yuan was annoyed to hear her emphasize ’Sister Man’ a second time, whoever that was.
"Even if I don’t want to argue over this, the dress that I wanted to give to Sister Man, there’s only one left now..." Gu Yunsi looked towards Lu Wanwan, "Miss, could we offer double the price, and have your friend sell it to us?"
Xu Yuan’s tone was explosive, "Now you’re willing to pay double the price? Weren’t you just now loudly demanding that she take it off and give it to you? Why are you not asking her to strip now?"
A flash of cold light streaked across Gu Annan’s eyes.
Gu Yunsi gritted her teeth; she had already given way, but this woman just wouldn’t stop.
"Miss, are you going to buy this dress?" The salesperson, seeing the customer who wanted to buy the dress had been looking at the receipt for a long while, thought she might have entered something wrong.
"Yes," Lu Wanwan nodded her head, getting ready to use her card.
"Wait," Gu Yunsi, who had been completely ignored this entire time, was already burning with rage.
How could anyone be so dismissive?
She stepped forward and grabbed the tag still hanging from Lu Wanwan’s dress, "Isn’t it quite impolite of you to ignore me like that, Miss? I said I’d buy it for double the price, don’t you understand?"
Gu Annan’s expression abruptly darkened, and he advanced a couple of steps.
The next moment, Lu Wanwan grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand away from her body.
"Not selling," she dropped two words.
"Don’t you understand?" Lu Wanwan coolly echoed her earlier question.
