Chapter 6798
Lesson 1
In the chaos, Wang Sha instinctively grabbed and pulled at things haphazardly, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.
Her hand waved wildly in the air, and she grabbed the expensive tulle shawl of Ma Mengmeng, who was standing to the side watching the show.
The shawl was made of a light material, and it couldn't withstand her forceful pulling. With a "rip," it sounded like a painful groan.
Disaster struck like a bomb in an instant.
Two women, wearing high heels and with unsteady gaits, crashed together like toppled dominoes amidst sharp screams.
Wang Sha crashed heavily to the ground, her expensive bodycon mini-skirt riding up to her thighs, revealing her black safety shorts underneath. Her carefully styled curly hair was also a mess, covering her originally exquisitely made-up face, making her look like a crazy woman.
Ma Mengmeng fared even worse. Wang Sha pulled her down, causing her to fall forward and her knees to hit the ground hard. The pain brought tears to her eyes.
Her shawl was almost torn apart, the straps slipped down, revealing large areas of glaring skin, making her look extremely embarrassed under everyone's gaze.
She frantically tried to cover herself, but only made things worse, ending up looking extremely disheveled.
People around were immediately drawn to the sudden, disheveled scene. Those who were busy with their own things stopped and gathered around as if watching a show.
Whispers surged in like a tide, and undisguised pointing and whispering instantly wove an unsightly net, trapping the two of them.
Wang Sha and Ma Mengmeng's faces turned bright red, wishing they could disappear into the ground. They never imagined that they, who had been so arrogant just moments before, would become the laughingstock in everyone's eyes.
Yun Yuyan's eyes widened slightly, her already bright eyes now staring even more wide, her gaze fixed on Wang Sha and Ma Mengmeng, who were rolling around on the ground, almost doubting if there was something wrong with her eyes.
The chaotic and disheveled scene before her was so different from the image of the two women who were always arrogant and well-dressed in her memory that she was momentarily stunned.
"They...wear such high heels, do they really not know how to walk?"
She lowered her head slightly and murmured to herself, her tone filled with disbelief and confusion.
In her opinion, Wang Sha and Ma Mengmeng always wore high heels and moved gracefully through various occasions, as if those thin heels were a symbol of their confidence and pride. But who would have thought that these high heels would become "accomplices" in making them look foolish at a crucial moment?
Xiao Chen stood beside Yun Yuyan. He glanced at his watch; the hands on the dial were moving steadily, reminding them of the passage of time.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, a smile that carried a subtle ease and disdain for the farce.
He gently raised his hand and patted Yun Yuyan's tense back. The gesture was gentle and comforting, as if telling her that everything was over and she no longer needed to worry about these unimportant people and things.
"Let's go, Mr. Liu and the others are probably getting impatient."
His voice was deep and steady, like a pillar of strength, gradually calming Yun Yuyan's initially flustered heart.
"Ah."
Yun Yuyan took a deep breath, and the fresh air entered her body through her nasal cavity, making her feel more clear-headed.
She forcefully suppressed the lingering unease in her heart, trying to stop herself from paying attention to the farce unfolding on the ground.
She took Xiao Chen's arm and walked firmly toward the escalator, as if she wanted to get away from this unpleasant place completely.
Only after Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan disappeared at the end of the escalator did Wang Sha and Ma Mengmeng, supported by Wu Shanshan, scramble to their feet, looking disheveled. Their arms and knees were scraped in several places, the wounds burning as if countless needles were pricking them.
The carefully chosen clothes were wrinkled and covered in dust, like two crumpled pieces of waste paper, completely losing their former luster.
Wang Sha rubbed her aching tailbone, the pain causing her to wince, her distorted expression becoming even more ferocious with anger.
Her voice was distorted with anger and pain as she roared, "There wasn't a soul around here!"
"Besides those two poor, worthless bastards, who else could be behind this?"
"They're definitely doing this on purpose to embarrass me!"
Her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if she wanted to devour Yun Yuyan and Xiao Chen alive.
"You dare to scheme against me? You're asking for it!"
"Shanshan, come on, let's go inside!"
"If I don't vent this anger today, I'll change my name to Wang Sha!"
As Wang Sha spoke, she stomped her foot, gritting her teeth. The "tap-tap" sound of her high heels hitting the ground seemed to be an expression of her anger.
Ignoring her own pain, she pulled Wu Shanshan into the mall, with Ma Mengmeng limping behind, her eyes also filled with resentment, plotting to make Yun Yuyan and Xiao Chen pay the price.
Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan gently lifted their feet, and as soon as they stepped through the simple and elegant wooden door with copper bells hanging on it, the clear and melodious sound of the copper bells rang out, as if warmly welcoming their arrival.
The restaurant is filled with a faint aroma of food mixed with the fresh scent of wood, creating a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere.
As soon as they entered, they saw Zhang Fei standing behind the counter, leaning slightly forward, talking enthusiastically with the proprietress.
As Zhang Fei spoke, he gestured with his hands, his face beaming with excitement.
The proprietress, wearing a blue and white apron, had sharp eyes. She was standing sideways, listening to Zhang Fei while wiping the counter with a towel. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xiao Chen, who had just entered, and the aloof girl beside him.
When her gaze fell on Yun Yuyan, she was visibly stunned for a moment, the towel in her hand stopped in mid-air, and her eyes flashed with undisguised amazement.
His eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself: What's wrong with me today?
I just met Mr. Liu's daughter, who is quite beautiful and graceful. Tonight, another fairy-like young lady has arrived. This little restaurant is truly honored tonight!
The proprietress quickly snapped out of her daze, hurriedly wiped her hands, and awkwardly approached.
Her steps were somewhat hurried, and her apron swayed back and forth on her body.
Her face was beaming with smiles, and her voice carried a hint of concern for Xiao Chen: "Young man, you've finally arrived!"
"Oh my, how did you manage to invite such a distinguished guest as Mr. Liu to our humble restaurant?"
The proprietress was clearly worried that the environment here would interfere with Xiao Chen's work, which would be a huge mistake. (End of Chapter)
