Chapter 287

At this moment, Jia Jia Zhangshi, who had been saying all day that she would call the police, began to panic; if the police were really called, she would be in big trouble.

The thugs had told her before that if she called the police, they wouldn't care about

her, and she might end up being thrown into prison.

"No need to call the police! I still need to buy jewelry for my grandson's wife. All of this is this shop's fault!"

"You tell me, what should be done? You've knocked my old bones apart! I can't possibly buy jewelry from your shop now. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll die right here in your shop!"

"I want to see how a shop that looks down on an old woman like me can stay in business. Nobody is allowed to go in and buy anything!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi clearly didn't want anyone to call the police, so she continued to intimidate the female shop assistant!

The shop assistant was clearly quite young and had never seen such a scene before; she was on the verge of tears.

At this moment, the manager of the jewelry shop heard the commotion and rushed out to investigate.

The person who came out was Yu Yu Haitang. It was clear that Chen Tian had previously discovered Yu Yu Haitang's interest in jewelry and had opened several jewelry shops for her in the city, though Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't recognize her at all.

Yu Yu Haitang felt that the Jia Jia Zhangshi she saw now was somewhat familiar; she felt she had heard others talk about this shrewish personality before.

"...Old lady, I am the manager of this jewelry shop. Tell me what happened. There's no need to be in such a rush to call the police!"

"Xiao Wang, what exactly is going on? Didn't I tell you? You must be polite to every customer. Whoever comes in, we can sell our jewelry to them."

Yu Yu Haitang clearly didn't know what had happened yet. Although she felt some disgust toward the unreasonable Jia Jia Zhangshi, she still asked her shop assistant.

"Manager, I don't know either! I was truly being very polite and courteous, trying to invite her into the shop to look at the jewelry!"

"Seeing that she had difficulty moving, I prepared to help her, but I hadn't even touched her hand before she fell to the ground herself and then grabbed my leg and wouldn't let go!"

"There's only so much space at the shop entrance, how could I have knocked her down? I was just trying to help her inside!"

The shop assistant was on the verge of tears; she really hadn't expected that such courtesy and politeness would be met with this kind of reward.

Clearly, Jia Jia Zhangshi's ability to throw a tantrum and roll on the ground hadn't diminished over all these years.

At this moment, the smile on Chen Tian's face became even more unbridled; it was clear he wasn't worried at all about what Jia Jia Zhangshi dared to do to him.

After all, with Jia Jia Zhangshi's cowardly nature, if she were willing to stab herself with a knife, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state as she was now!

The young shop assistant was completely terrified; she never expected that just helping an ordinary customer would escalate to the point of someone threatening to stab people with a knife!

Over the years, she had been very grateful to Yu Yu Haitang for hiring her into the shop; the salary and benefits were excellent, and she treated her like a younger sister!

For a moment, the shop assistant didn't want Yu Yu Haitang to take the blame for her own mistake, so she quickly spoke up.

"Old lady, if there's any issue, just take it out on me. Since you say I knocked you down, I'll pay for your damages. Don't frame our manager!"

"How about this? I'll take you to the hospital first, and then I'll have the police come. How much money you need, I'll pay you, okay?"

"This matter is all my fault; it has nothing to do with my manager!"

The shop assistant was crying, thinking only of taking responsibility herself and not wanting to make things difficult for her manager.

"Pah! You wish! You're just a little girl, how much money could you possibly have? You heartless bosses, it's not that easy to use her as a scapegoat for you!"

"I fell at the entrance of your shop today. If I don't see money today, none of you will have it easy, do you hear me!"

"Hurry up and bring me 500 yuan! Chen Tian, it's been 10 years! You've made me so miserable, it's not too much to ask for 500 yuan, is it!"

"If you don't give me 500 yuan today, I'll stab myself with this knife! Let's see how you'll keep this shop open!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi was feeling incredibly smug, thinking that Chen Tian and the others had no way to deal with her this time; she even gestured with the knife against her own leg!

Clearly, this was just a bluff. If she really had the guts, she wouldn't be shaking so much while holding the knife, terrified of cutting herself.

"It's fine, Xiao Wang, go back into the shop first. This matter has nothing to do with you; they are targeting our shop!"

"Old lady, I'll tell you one last time: it's impossible for us to give you money. Leave here quickly. Don't wait until the police arrive and regret it when it's too late!"

Yu Yu Haitang was also the owner of several jewelry shops; this wasn't the first time she had seen such things, so naturally, she wouldn't be bluffed by Jia Jia Zhangshi in just a few words!

Especially with Chen Tian standing on the side, watching her with an indifferent expression, Jia Jia Zhangshi felt increasingly guilty.

"What? Do you really think I don't dare to stab myself? Let me tell you, I can't even afford to eat! If you don't pay up, we'll all die together!"

"When I stab myself, it won't be as simple as just paying money! You'd better think clearly!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi's hand holding the knife was trembling, but she just gestured in front of herself; clearly, she didn't dare to stab herself.

"Fine! Jia Jia Zhangshi, if you can actually stab yourself today, I'll give you 200 yuan per stab! As long as you dare to stab yourself twice, I'll give you that 500 yuan!"

Chen Tian found it somewhat amusing; it had been 10 years, and he didn't expect Jia Jia Zhangshi to still be this stupid.

Although Jia Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu had come to cause trouble at the entrance of his small villa before, Chen Tian couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

But he didn't expect that Jia Jia Zhangshi, having parted ways with Sha Zhu, would actually come to cause trouble at his jewelry shop!

Chen Tian knew Jia Jia Zhangshi's true nature; she would never stab herself!

Now, Jia Jia Zhangshi was completely stuck in a dilemma. With her cowardly nature, she didn't have the guts to actually plunge this rusty little knife into her own thigh!

Jia Jia Zhangshi looked at the knife in her hand and gulped, her face pale, not knowing what to do!

Meanwhile, the thugs, seeing Jia Jia Zhangshi hesitating with the knife, were getting anxious!

"Stab it! Stab it down! You'll get 500 yuan with two stabs! What is this old trash doing? Did she forget what I told her before?"

"If she doesn't stab it, I'm telling you, Bang Geng, I'll go back and stab each of you five times!"

The leader was extremely anxious; honestly, he even imagined taking the knife and stabbing Jia Jia Zhangshi himself...

But he also knew that Chen Tian's status was definitely not simple. If he were to stupidly stab someone, he would definitely be thrown into the police station.

"Bang Geng, get up there! Go persuade your grandmother and put on a good show! If Jia Jia Zhangshi doesn't dare to stab, you take the knife and stab her twice, do you hear me?"

"If we can't get this 500 yuan today, if you can still walk properly when you go back, I'll take your surname!"

Seeing that Jia Jia Zhangshi still wouldn't make a move, the man became impatient.

He then kicked Bang Geng out. Bang Geng had no choice but to walk toward Jia Jia Zhangshi, trembling.
