It was too small a world indeed.
Rosiley raised her fine eyebrows and turned to look at Yayoi and Ying Xiaoxiao. “Just pretend that they’re not here. Let’s keep choosing our dresses.”
There was no need to waste time on people like this. Yayoi and Ying Xiaoxiao both acknowledged that.
As such, they both looked away and went on to pick out their dresses.
Yang Qianqian felt upset about being totally overlooked by them.
Fine, since they were going to pretend like she wasn’t there, she wasn’t planning to let go of things so easily.
Yang Qianqian took a deep breath and walked toward them in an overbearing and arrogant manner. She checked out the dresses they were looking at and sneered. “Now who is this? Isn’t this the daughter of a corrupt official? Are you planning to buy such an expensive dress with the money your parents embezzled? How dare you! Don’t you even feel ashamed!”
As soon as she finished her sarcastic statement, everyone could hear the slapping sound in the hall.
It was crisp and loud.
Yayoi was so overwhelmed and angry that her body couldn’t stop shaking and she shouted angrily, “I won’t let you talk about my parents this way!”
It all happened way too fast.
Rosiley and Ying Xiaoxiao were still astounded. They had been getting riled up upon hearing the insulting statements made by Yang Qianqian, but Yayoi had already slapped her right in her dirty big mouth before they could even react.
“Yayoi, how dare you hit me!” Yang Qianqian covered her sore face and glared at Yayoi furiously. There was so much rage in her eyes that she looked like she was going to tear Yayoi to pieces.
Rosiley and Ying Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and shielded Yayoi behind them, standing in front of Yang Qianqian like two loyal guards.
Han Yichen walked over too, he held Yang Qianqian and asked with concern, “Qianqian, are you okay?”
As soon as she saw him, Yang Qianqian immediately cried out loud, “Yichen, you must stand by my side! How dare Yayoi hit me!”
She put her hand down, revealing her red and swollen face, with tears rolling down her cheeks. “I’m in so much pain, Yichen.”
Han Yichen turned to look at Rosiley and Ying Xiaoxiao, and then his icy gaze fell on Yayoi behind them. He reproached with a gloomy face, “Yayoi, what’s the matter with you? Qianqian said a few things but it wasn’t a big deal, there was no need for you to raise your hand at her! Look what you’ve done to her!”
Hearing what he had said and the way he was speaking up for Yang Qianqian, Yayoi felt as nauseous as if she had just swallowed a fly!
Ying Xiaoxiao was so mad that she raised her voice and yelled at Han Yichen, “Han Yichen, don’t you feel ashamed? What did Yang Qianqian say just now? What’s wrong with Yayoi slapping her? If only I could also beat her face bloody!”
As she yelled, she raised her hand as if to hit Yang Qianqian. The latter quickly hid behind Han Yichen, afraid of being beaten again.
“Ying Xiaoxiao, surely you don’t believe you can be lawless just because your father is a member of the Party Committee?” Han Yichen scoffed. staring at her coldly.
Her heart almost burst with rage and Ying Xiaoxiao was so angry that she actually smiled. “Han Yichen, I’d rather like to be lawless if it meant that I could teach you a lesson for being an ungrateful bastard who only sucks up to the rich and powerful.”
She was genuinely intending to hit Han Yichen, but Rosiley quickly grabbed her and reminded her softly, “Xiaoxiao, we’re in public.”
Ying Xiaoxiao looked around and found all the other customers peeping in their direction, acting like typical onlookers.
Remembering her father’s official title, Ying Xiaoxiao had no choice but to suppress her anger and gave Han Yichen an icy glare before reluctantly withdrawing her hand.
Rosiley breathed a sigh of relief and shot a sharp look at Han Yichen with a mocking smile on her face, “Han Yichen, I never knew that anyone could be so corrupt and shameless in the pursuit of power and wealth.”
Han Yichen became even more annoyed and stared at her firmly.
“We were planning to pretend that we hadn’t seen you, and then we would all be at peace with each other. But it was her…” Rosiley pointed at Yang Qianqian hiding behind him and sneered, “She had to stick up and humiliate Yayoi’s parents recklessly. Wouldn’t anyone be infuriated?”
At this point, she let out a demeaning chuckle and the way she looked at them became increasingly icy. “Truth be told, I forgot that you’re not human, so how would you ever understand how human beings like us would feel?”
