Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Provocation Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Provocation Could it be because of Gu Ya?
Su Yunjin certainly hadn’t forgotten about Wan Ruyan’s affair.
Was it possible that after being the Accountant at Hongyun Building for less than a month, he had caught the eye of the delicate miss before her? Suddenly, Su Yunjin felt that having a good-looking man wasn’t such a blessing after all? Every now and then, he’d attract a bad peach blossom, and looking at the miss before her, the traces of youth were still evident on her face! Yet she was already hostile toward her.
“Are you my big brother Gu’s wife?” The woman scrutinized Su Yunjin for a while with an inquisitive gaze, and after doing so, she asked a question. Su Yunjin did not deny it.
If this miss truly came to steal her man, then Su Yunjin needed to make it clear to the woman before her that Su Yunjin’s man was not so easily taken.
“Indeed, I am your big brother Gu’s woman. Miss, if you call my husband big brother Gu, then, by all rights, you should call me sister-in-law.” Su Yunjin didn’t use the term ‘wife’ but ‘woman’ instead, making it clear to the young girl before her that she was Gu Ya’s woman.
As for sister-in-law? Whether the young lady before her would call her that or not, Su Yunjin didn’t mind. Being young, the woman’s face flushed with a mix of shyness and slight anger after hearing what Su Yunjin said, finally turning confrontational, “My father says that big brother Gu will not work as an Accountant at our tavern starting next month. Is it because you won’t let big brother Gu do the job?”
“What if it is? What if it isn’t?” This time, Su Yunjin did not give a clear answer to the woman’s question, which made the woman’s face turn red again in frustration.
The maid, defending the young lady, shouted angrily at Su Yunjin, “How dare you! Do you realize who this is? She is the young mistress of Hongyun Building; who are you to speak to our miss in such a tone?”
Daring to behave so wildly on Su Yunjin’s turf? This time, Su Yunjin dispensed with politeness toward the two before her.
“Both of you, look clearly now, this place is my shop, not your Hongyun Building. If you want to cause a scene, go back to Hongyun Building.”
The young miss’s face turned both red and pale, and the maid didn’t look too pleased either. Just as the maid was about to burst out again, she was stopped by the young lady.
After all, Gu Ya was still working as an Accountant at Hongyun Building, and for the sake of Gu Ya and the Shopkeeper of Hongyun Building, Su Yunjin had spared a bit of face for the young mistress before her.
After her annoyance, the woman commanded imperiously, “I don’t care if you are big brother Gu’s wife; you still can’t stop big brother Gu from working at my father’s tavern. Big brother Gu signed a contract with my father, and if he doesn’t honor it, that would be breaking the agreement, and he’d owe compensation.” The woman threatened Su Yunjin, thinking it would scare her.
But Su Yunjin was utterly nonchalant.
“Just pay some money? How much, let your father come and say.” Su Yunjin’s words not only dismissed what the young miss had said but also made it clear that the young miss had no standing to negotiate with her.
The young miss, aggravated by Su Yunjin, finally stomped away in a huff. Seeing the young miss run off, the maid hurriedly followed, “Miss, wait for me.”
Just like that, the master and servant duo ran off, leaving Su Yunjin alone in the shop. Disturbed by the commotion the woman had caused, Su Yunjin lost the interest to continue brewing wine.
She just waited at home for Gu Ya to return.
