C7 Different from the Rumors

Hearing a voice that seemed familiar, Tang Xinran's heart skipped a beat. She looked up to find Qin Huan's piercingly cold and deep eyes locked onto hers...

Standing next to him was Zhan Yi, the River City First Rich Young Master.

The store clerks, let alone Faang Manna, were thrown into a panic at the sight of Zhan Yi. Faang Manna quickly withdrew her hands and stepped back; she certainly didn't want to cross the River City First Rich Young Master.

Zhan Yi gave Faang Manna a forced smile, "Miss Faang, have you come to cause trouble in my store?"

Feeling a cold shiver under Zhan Yi's gaze, Faang Manna hastily shifted the blame onto the employees, "They were the ones who started it. I was just helping..."

Terrified, the employees quickly tried to explain themselves, "Miss Tang insisted on buying the ring Mr. Jiang had reserved. She wouldn't take it off..."

"A customer who won't let go of an item wants to buy it, not steal it. Is this how you treat customers who appreciate our jewelry brand? What happened to your staff's professionalism? You're all fired as of today..."

The employees turned ashen, but none dared to argue further in front of Zhan Yi.

When Tang Ruoyun caught sight of Qin Huan, a look of admiration flashed in her eyes. She greeted him with a poised smile, "Young Master Zhan, please don't be too harsh on your employees. They were merely safeguarding your property..."

"Oh... What I see is a group ganging up on one. Miss Tang, you witness your own cousin being mistreated and yet you side with strangers against her. Tsk tsk... That's quite different from the gentle and virtuous reputation you have!"

Tang Ruoyun was at a loss for words and turned to Jiang Lingyuan with a look of utter distress.

Jiang Lingyuan drew Tang Ruoyun into a comforting embrace and addressed Zhan Yi, "Young Master Zhan, I've already paid the deposit for these rings. We're not here to make a scene; we'll leave as soon as we've completed our purchase."

Qin Huan's voice emerged, cool and detached, "Tiffany & Co. is in the business of selling to discerning customers who have a heart for love. Young Master Zhan wouldn't sell Tiffany & Co. jewelry to someone who quarrels with a woman over a ring."

At a loss for words, Zhan Yi accepted the situation. With Qin Huan having spoken, the matter was settled.

Our Tiffany & Co. jewelry seems to be ill-suited for a customer like Mr. Jiang. The double penalty for the deposit will be refunded to your card. Now, if you would, take your delicate beauty and leave. Yunsell Mall will no longer welcome any of you three as customers!"

The ability to shop at Yunsell Mall is a mark of high status in River City. If the elite were to hear of this incident, they would surely be scorned and ridiculed by their peers!

Jiang Lingyuan was seething with anger, yet he knew he was no match for Zhan Yi at the moment. The thought of biting his tongue and swallowing his pride was almost too much to bear!

It was clear that Zhan Yi was siding with Tang Xinran, as was the strikingly handsome man with a powerful aura beside her. Both seemed to be in Tang Xinran's corner.

Tang Xinran had never met these two men before. Why would they go out of their way to stand up for her? And why would Zhan Yi willingly pay a penalty rather than do business with her?

She truly had no shame, thought Jiang Lingyuan. They had only been apart for a short while, and here she was, using her looks to lure men into backing her up... and not just any men, but two who were far more superior to him.

Overwhelmed by wounded pride and envy, Jiang Lingyuan lost his cool. "Tang Xinran, stop throwing yourself at men outside and disgracing the Tang family. I'm taking your sister home now. You should come with us..."

The audacity of this man to accuse her of such things!

A firestorm of rage erupted within Tang Xinran. The humiliation and anger she had been suppressing transformed into a fierce slap across Jiang Lingyuan's face.
