Chapter 734: My Mall

Editor: Henyee Translations

She spun around, astonished to find Ruan Xueling unscathed. “You’re alright!”

“Of course I am,” Ruan Xueling retorted with a snort, dismissing Ye Qingzi’s presence. Turning to Gu Yang and Gu Jin, she inquired, “How does this look?”

Gu Yang’s enthusiasm was palpable. “It’s absolutely stunning!”

Gu Jin chimed in, “Quite nice.”

Ruan Xueling’s spirits soared at their approval.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingzi found herself utterly ignored. Then, she spotted the manager of Jin Chang Mall approaching, and her eyes gleamed with opportunity.

She recognized the manager from her time in Jin City—they had been high school classmates back in their hometown, and he had even confessed his feelings to her. However, her heart belonged solely to Xiao Yize, so she had gently rebuffed him.

When she returned to Jin Chang Mall for shopping, he had treated her to a meal, and they had shared pleasant conversations.

Knowing she had some leverage with him, Ye Qingzi waved eagerly. “Manager Li!”

Upon seeing Ye Qingzi’s polite nod, Manager Li reciprocated with equal courtesy. “Miss Ye, how may I assist you?”

Ye Qingzi wasted no time in requesting a favor. “Could you do me a favor?”

Manager Li responded with a professional smile. “I am at your service.”

Satisfied, Ye Qingzi pointed towards Gu Yang and the others. “Escort them out of the mall, please. I don’t wish to see them here and have my shopping experience disrupted.”

Gu Yang was dumbfounded by Ye Qingzi’s audacity.

What a performance. Ye Qingzi certainly knew how to make a scene. In her own sister’s domain, she was instructing her sister’s underlings to remove her, along with her adorable sister and mother?

Gu Yang felt a twinge of admiration for her brazenness.

Gu Jin remained silent for a moment, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. She hadn’t anticipated Ye Qingzi to seize the opportunity so smoothly.

Ruan Xueling’s expression soured with displeasure. “Do you believe you have the authority to evict us at your whim? Do you think you own this mall?”

Manager Li’s eyebrows twitched when he saw who Ye Qingzi was pointing at. He couldn’t help but seek clarification. “Excuse me, who did you say you want to have escorted out?”

“That group,” Ye Qingzi replied with a chuckle. “Manager Li, they’re merely tourists from out of town. While they might spend money here temporarily, I am a loyal patron. Which holds more significance?”

Although Manager Li maintained a pleasant smile outwardly, inwardly he cursed.

Obviously, loyalty to my superiors takes precedence!

“I’ll teach you a lesson. But you tried to make it bigger?” Ruan Xueling grabbed Gu Yang and Gu Jin, urging them to leave. “Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Madam, please wait!” Manager Li interjected hastily.

Ye Qingzi’s family didn’t own the mall, but yours did!

Manager Li addressed Ye Qingzi with a firm tone, “I’m sorry, Miss Ye. We cannot accommodate your unreasonable request. Jin Chang Mall has no grounds to refuse any guests.”

Ye Qingzi scowled unhappily, her tone tinged with menace. “Manager Li, don’t get too cocky.”

Manager Li sneered inwardly. Naturally, he had to uphold his reputation in front of his superiors!

Ignoring Ye Qingzi’s threats, Manager Li approached Gu Yang and the others. His gaze fell upon Gu Jin. “Is there anything I can assist you with?”

With a subtle wink, Manager Li directed his attention to Gu Jin, inquiring, “Boss, what can I do for you?”

Gu Jin’s response was curt as she pointed at Ye Qingzi. “Escort her out.”

Manager Li fell silent for a moment.

Ye Qingzi sneered. “Gu Jin, do you really believe your family owns this mall?”

Manager Li had just refused her request. How could he possibly comply with Gu Jin’s demand?

Suddenly, Manager Li turned his attention to Ye Qingzi. “You’re correct.”

Ye Qingzi interpreted Manager Li’s response as an affirmation of her previous remarks, and she smiled triumphantly. “Exactly, Manager Li. You understand what’s at stake here, don’t you?”

However, Manager Li continued, “You’re right. I mustn’t be too presumptuous. Therefore, I retract my previous statement and kindly ask you to leave Jin Chang Mall.”

The smile faded from Ye Qingzi’s face.

Gu Jin spoke indifferently, “It just so happens that the mall is indeed owned by my family. Therefore, kindly remove yourself.”
