Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Director Lu, Your Wife Is Being Bullied
So she was even more fearless.
The shopkeeper seemed troubled, “This…”
Yan Yuexian smiled, “Shopkeeper, opening a shop is all about making money. Who cares who you sell to?”
Xia Weibao’s face turned cold. She had only ten million now, and if the price went up, she definitely couldn’t outbid her.
Therefore, she turned to the shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper, business is all about integrity. Surely you don’t intend to go back on your word?”
Yan Yuexian’s expression was proud, “Have you paid?”
Xia Weibao replied, “Not yet.”
“Since you haven’t paid, how can I be going back on my word?”
With that, she slapped a card down onto the table, “Twenty million. I’m taking this zither.”
The shopkeeper was even more troubled, “Miss, the Solitary Zither was indeed her first purchase. Why don’t you look at the others? Our shop has many zithers…”
Although the doubled price was very tempting, doing business meant valuing trust.
And after all, there were fixed prices that couldn’t be haphazardly changed.
These principles still had to be upheld.
Yan Yuexian’s face froze as if she had been slapped, suddenly looking ugly.
She just didn’t believe that there was anything in this world that money couldn’t do!
The shopkeeper was somewhat anxious, “I’m truly sorry…”
Even a tripled price didn’t tempt him, causing Yan Yuexian’s eyes to bulge with shock.
Glancing at the smug look on Ruan Shushu’s face enraged her even more.
“You all wait and see!”
With that, she took out her phone and stepped aside to make a call.
President Yan Fei of Huaxia Country had just finished meeting with an important congressman and returned to his office when he received Yan Yuexian’s call.
A doting smile flickered at the corner of his mouth, “Yuexian, have you arrived home?”
“Brother, I’ve been bullied.”
Yan Fei’s smile remained, “Oh? It would be good enough if you weren’t bullying others.”
“It’s true. I just returned to the country today; I don’t know anyone, so how could I possibly bully someone?”
“Then who’s bullying you?”
“It’s Xia Weibao. I wanted to buy a famous heirloom zither, but Xia Weibao tried to snatch it from me. Brother, she’s too much!”
Upon hearing the name Xia Weibao, Yan Fei’s pupils shrank. Why was it this woman again?
“Why would she want to snatch your zither?”
“How would I know?” Yan Yuexian said petulantly.
“It was clearly I who found it first, but as soon as she came in, she said she wanted to buy it. Then she pressured the shopkeeper with three times the price. That’s too much!
Not only did she snatch my cousin’s fiancé, but now she also wants to snatch my Solitary Zither. I don’t care; you must help me.”
Yan Fei pinched the bridge of his nose, “Alright, I’ll speak to the shopkeeper. Which store are you at?”
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yuexian returned with a triumphant look on her face.
Her gaze seemed like she was looking at an ant that’s overestimating itself.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to process Xia Weibao’s payment, suddenly, he received a phone call.
Afterwards, his expression completely changed, and he respectfully finished the call. The shopkeeper then looked at Xia Weibao with difficulty.
“Miss Xia, I’m terribly sorry…”
They were just ordinary businessmen, unable to offend the president of a country…
“Heh, I told you so, the Solitary Zither is mine! Aren’t you leaving yet, mistress!” Yan Yuexian’s gloating was unbearable to witness.
Xia Weibao’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had just offered three times the price, yet the shopkeeper wouldn’t change his stance.
Now, a single phone call changed everything; there must be someone applying pressure.
Who could that person be?
Yan Yuexian was still basking in self-satisfaction. Hmph, as if someone like her would dare to compete with me. Doesn’t she know who I am?
“You’re making a fool of yourself thinking you can compete with me. You’re courting death!”
Xia Weibao gave her a disdainful look.
She didn’t say a word.
Just as she was figuring out what to do, the shopkeeper’s phone rang again.
