Chapter 1394: Fantasy Antique Shop Part-time Job Log 28

~8 min read 1,417 words

Again and again, Ying Wu Shu brushed off his face, Wang Qiang got angry—his face red and neck thick—and the sense of superiority he had when he first came in was completely gone.

Half a year after graduation, Ying Wu Shu was still the same as before—unsociable and fond of putting on airs, just looking at him made people dislike him.

"I don't believe you bought it from your shop; if you really had antiques, you wouldn't be a poor kid!"

Wang Qiang gave a cold snort, "Just going by what you say, who would believe that!"

"My girlfriend is coming soon; if she doesn't know you, I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life!"

Ying Wu Shu slowly sipped his soup, "Fine."

He also wanted to see whether the person coming was Miss Du or that young lady beside him.

That day at Lingqing Pass, that young lady already had a lot of resentment on her, but it hadn't yet reached the point where the wind chime would warn, so he didn't interfere much.

Wang Qiang sent several messages urging them, and just then the other side replied they had already arrived outside the restaurant.

Just after receiving that message, the Main Gate of Hall B was pushed open by a waiter, and a girl dressed in bright, splendid attire walked in, her high heels clicking.

"What's the rush? I'm not not coming."

Zi Ying's tone was a bit impatient; she smoothed her hair and walked over, smiling politely, "Hello, I'm Wang Qiang's girlfriend."

"Wow, so pretty!" a female classmate recognized, "This bag is this year's newest model; you can't buy it for several hundred thousand unless you have VIP status!"

This undoubtedly further proved that what Wang Qiang had just said was true, and for a moment many classmates' faces were full of envy.

Wang Qiang instantly felt immensely satisfied, took Zi Ying's hand and sat down beside her, asking, "Honey, we were just talking about the antique you gave me yesterday—is it from the Tang Dynasty, right?"

Zi Ying's face slightly changed; she didn't know what dynasty it was: "Yes, it's from the Tang Dynasty, I specially gave it to you, don't you like it?"

Wang Qiang seemed to have finally caught a clue, raising his chin proudly: "Honey, you don't know, a classmate in our class said it's not, so I knew you wouldn't lie to me."

Liu Qi slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Ying Wu Shu, what else do you have to say? You're not showing off like that!"

The classmates were eating while whispering.

"Wasn't Ying Wu Shu said to be the boss of an antique shop, and also said he bought it from his shop?"

"Oh come on, it couldn't be made up… I didn't expect the young lady to actually come."

"How embarrassing, damn it, doesn't Ying Wu Shu himself feel embarrassed?"

Ying Wu Shu put down his chopsticks, lifted his eyes with a slight smile toward Zi Ying, seeing her expression suddenly become flustered and at a loss, cold and aloof.

"Miss, we meet again."

Clang!

The held highball glass fell, spilling fine red wine all over the expensive dress; Zi Ying, however, didn't react in time, her face alternating between green and pale.

"You……"

Why is the boss of Lingqing Pass here!

Zi Ying never imagined she would meet Ying Wu Shu here, or when Wang Qiang displayed the bracelet!

Lu Qiu Na seemed puzzled: "Hey, by the way, the person who came to buy yesterday wasn't you either, where is Miss Du?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Zi Ying's face turned even uglier, even feeling a bit guilty.

"I…… I don't know what you're talking about."

But her expression makes it hard for people to think there's no problem.

Wang Qiang frowned tightly, "Xiao Ying, what do you mean? Did you really buy it from their shop?"

The classmates hadn't expected the plot to develop like this; they all lost their appetite, put down their chopsticks, and started watching the drama.

Zi Ying forced herself to cheer up, managing a smile: "It's indeed bought from the boss's shop, but yesterday the person who accompanied me just paid the money; the boss might have misunderstood."

"Is that so."

Ying Wu Shu casually glanced at her a few times, smiled faintly, withdrew his gaze: "Miss Zi Ying, plundering others' fortune and identity is truly not good conduct."

Only a day has passed.

The yin resentment aura on Zi Ying became unusually heavy; it seems something indeed happened.

Ying Wu Shu couldn't help but feel a headache; lately the wind chime's reminders have become fewer, each time only learning after something happens, so it seems he needs to find time to fix it.

Wang Qiang angrily rebuked: "What nonsense are you spouting? Zi Ying definitely didn't steal anyone's stuff; she's either the daughter of a listed company or the principal's niece, and she's still recommended for graduate school by the school—how could I not know?"

Zi Ying tightly gripped the hem of her skirt; only she knew how panicked she felt inside.

Why did I happen to run into the boss of Lingqing Pass today!

The counselor who had been silent all along, upon hearing Zi Ying's identity, immediately frowned and thought: the principal seemingly has a niece who just returned from abroad.

He immediately stood up: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, shouldn't we just make it clear? Ying Wu Shu, you're also a boss now—just apologize to Miss Zi Ying, and this will be over."

As for the whole matter, Ying Wu Shu really doesn't know what he needs to apologize for.

"Teacher, please don't interfere." Lu Qiu Na said unhappily: "Ying Wu Shu didn't do anything wrong either; you can't just bully him because he seems indifferent."

Watch out, Jin Chen might come over later and beat someone up!

By then, the Main Gate of the restaurant was pushed open again; the counselor saw the leading principal, his expression changed instantly, and he went up to greet.

"Principal! How did you come here!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Zi Ying's face turned even whiter, devoid of color.

Ying Wu Shu gave Lu Qiu Na a look; she nodded, directly moved her chair to sit beside Zi Ying to prevent her from suddenly running away.

Wang Qiang, however, completely failed to notice, and also went over to greet.

"Teacher Liu?" the principal wondered, then realized, "Ah, they still invited the counselor to this gathering, right?"

Teacher Liu only thought the principal knew his own niece was here, and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, thanks to your blessing, otherwise I'd rarely come up here."

No need for more pleasantries; I came here specifically to find someone.

Just as the principal was about to go inside, Wang Qiang went up to greet him again: "Hello, Principal, I'm Zi Ying's boyfriend, nice to meet you."

"Zi Ying?" the principal blinked, "Who is Zi Ying?"

Wang Qiang was surprised, "Your niece!"

"Nonsense! I only have one niece named Dujuan!" The principal flew into a rage, "How can you spout nonsense like that!"

"Move aside, I don't have time to waste!"

Without regard for the suddenly changed expressions of Wang Qiang and the counselor, the principal walked in the door and also brought out the person behind him.

"Master, please come in quickly; where is the boss you just mentioned?"

Jin Chen stepped out from behind the principal, his tall, slender figure in a black overcoat neat and unconventional, instantly drawing the gazes of many students, and the cafeteria erupted in soft exclamations.

"Good heavens, is he a celebrity? He's so handsome."

"No way, the principal just called him... Master? He must have quite a background."

Jin Chen's lazy gaze swept across the cafeteria, settling on Ying Wu Shu, whereupon a gentle expression appeared.

"Inside." Having said that, he strode straight toward Ying Wu Shu.

The principal hurriedly followed behind, his expression as respectful as could be.

The students seated at the three tables, bewildered, stared blankly as the mysterious handsome guy and the principal walked up to Ying Wu Shu.

"Boss." Jin Chen said softly, his tone tinged with a smile, "This case is a bit special; I need you to give me a hint."

Ying Wu Shu slowly raised his eyebrows, his gaze meeting Jin Chen's, his clear, moist eyes full of doubt.

There are actually things that even Jin Chen cannot solve.

"What matter."
