The girl was suddenly exposed, and her mind was only filled with Xu Ke's words, but she didn't really comprehend them, so her expression briefly went blank, making her look quite dumbfounded.

"What, what are you talking about, a fat sheep? I just want to seek justice for myself, stop slandering me here." The girl stubbornly denied that her intentions had been uncovered, persistently holding onto the little dignity she thought remained.

"You know what I'm talking about yourself. If you don't want to admit it, I won't force you, but if you think you can get something from me, you're dreaming. I encounter people like you eight or nine times out of ten each year. Let me be candid: what you want, I won't give. A girl should preserve some self-respect." Xu Ke said coldly to the girl, watching her face.

"Don't think that just because you have some money, you can go around slandering people. You're too self-absorbed, aren't you? What could I possibly want from you? How laughable."

The girl rolled her eyes, as if by doing so she could prove her sincerity.

"Better be that way. If there's nothing else, please step aside and stop blocking my way." Xu Ke couldn't be bothered to argue with her; he was so cold he could barely speak and just wanted to go to the mall to buy some clothes, having no time to entangle with this stranger.

"You haven't apologized to me yet, how can you just walk away like that? I'm not after anything from you, but I demand an apology. Even if you have more money than me and a higher social status, I still want justice for myself."

The girl held her head high, her big eyes staring unblinkingly at Xu Ke, attempting to discern something from his eyes.

"Do all girls nowadays like to fake incidents to extort money?" Xu Ke commented in exasperation.

"Who are you calling a faker? Make yourself clear. If you slander my reputation, beware I'll sue you for defamation." The girl clung to her words, not letting go.

"I can't be bothered with you." Xu Ke gave her a cold glance, pushed past her, and left without looking back.

"Stop right there; you can't just walk away like that." The girl shouted at Xu Ke's back, even wanting to give chase, but was intercepted by a man who came to pick Xu Ke up.

"Our boss is not someone you can mess with. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly; before my boss really decides to hold you accountable, get lost, or you'll regret it." The man looked at the girl with disdain, understanding Xu Ke's attitude, and coldly warned her.

"In broad daylight, you dare to threaten people with such audacity and are not afraid I'll call the police?" The girl felt a bit scared but stood firm out of some stubborn resolve.

The man heard her mutterings, let out a cold laugh and lazily said, "If I dare to say such things, naturally I have a way to make you suffer in silence. Believe it or not?"

Looking at the man's cold eyes and hearing his chilling words, at her age, how could the girl not be afraid?

The man, seeing that he had successfully intimidated the girl, displayed a slight hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The girl watched the two men, one after another, disappear from her sight, furiously kicked her leg, and whispered a curse, "Damn it! Despicable man! Bastard! If I ever run into you guys again, I'll make sure you taste my wrath."

Xu Ke couldn't hear the girl's rant. He left the airport immediately and headed to the nearest mall, finding a brand he was somewhat familiar with, and quickly bought a few clothes for himself. It wasn't until he changed into the new clothes in the fitting room that he felt alive again and had the mood to pick out some clothes for the two women back home.

Come to think of it, he hadn't given them anything for a while, so taking this opportunity, he decided to buy some gifts for the two women at home.

With that thought, Xu Ke began to take action, recalling the brands Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia usually favored, and leisurely headed over.

Compared to bland and plain colors, Xu Ke preferred richer, more vibrant tones. After a scan of the store, a royal blue dress caught Xu Ke's eye.

"Bring that dress over for me to take a look at." Xu Ke pointed to the dress he had just noticed.

"Sure, please wait a moment." The store clerk quickly and carefully brought the dress over and showcased it to Xu Ke, continuously introducing it.

"No need for all the talking." Xu Ke frowned, a bit impatient with the clerk's chatter.

As Xu Ke circled around the dress and saw the large V shape at the back, a pleased smile curved on his lips. He could already imagine how stunning Lin Mengyao would look in it.

"I'll take this dress."

"Wrap this dress up for me," a female voice, sharp as a knife, abruptly cut off Xu Ke's words, preemptively claiming the dress.

"I saw this dress first," Xu Ke followed the voice and saw a short-haired, sharp-looking woman. He frowned and said disapprovingly.

"So what?" The woman scanned Xu Ke from head to toe dismissively as if he were beneath her.

"You do your shopping, I do mine, what's it to you?" The woman brushed a hand over the dress with satisfaction, gestured, and the store clerks, as if receiving some sort of command, moved to wrap the dress for her, seemingly intending to hand it over.

As for Xu Ke, who they had just attended to warmly, he was quickly forgotten in favor of the other.

Brutal as it was, it's hard to deny that there are hierarchies among customers. In their eyes, Xu Ke was just an average buyer, but to them, the woman was an important client not to be offended. Given such circumstances, naturally, the outcome was predictable.

The woman seemed satisfied with their response, her lips curling into an aggressively smug smile, "I don't know where you've sprung from, kid, but let me tell you, in this place, whatever I set my eyes on, no one can compete for it. Next time we meet, best steer clear; don't reach for what I'm after. I've got a bad temper and might just chop off your hands."

Despite the smile on her face, there wasn't a hint of warmth in her eyes, appearing icy and sharp. The man standing beside Xu Ke only needed one look at her eyes before he had to turn away, intimidated, softly introducing her identity to Xu Ke.

Xing Yujun, a notorious female tycoon in Shangzhou, whose entertainment company makes a fortune daily.

But what did all that have to do with Xu Ke? Xu Ke's gaze gradually turned sharp as he looked back at her.

"Is that so? I don't like my things being coveted by others either. If someone takes something away from me, I'll make them pay back a hundredfold." Xu Ke said slowly.
