Chapter 566: 562. Snatching a Bag, Embarrassment (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Liu Lu was shopping with Lin Mei at this time; compared to the attention Prince Haiman received, Lin Mei's attention was much less.
From a young age, Lin Mei was never a personality who loved to be in the limelight; although she eventually married Prince Haiman, her conduct had always been very low-key.
Therefore, not many people recognized her.
However, after shopping for a little while, Lin Mei felt a bit tired, so she found a place to rest first and let Liu Lu and Gu Panpan go shopping ahead.
Facing these luxury goods, Gu Panpan was dazzled, but Liu Lu was relatively much calmer.
Her family did not lack these things; in fact, the main reason for coming this time was to buy things for her sister-in-law.
However, just as Liu Lu was shopping, several people also saw her.
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?" Fang Jing asked, looking at Mu Yuan's somewhat unusual expression.
Mu Yuan was staring fixedly at Liu Lu's back at this moment, his hands clenched; he could never forget the events of that day—that was the humiliation of his life!
Being stuffed into a cesspit was truly more unbearable for someone like him than killing him!
And the culprit was the Liu Lu in front; if it weren't for her, things wouldn't have turned out like that.
Well, Mu Yuan didn't dare to direct his hostility toward Zhang Ran; he was truly a bit afraid, as his own father had suffered a great loss at Zhang Ran's hands.
"It's nothing, just saw an enemy," Mu Yuan said, taking a deep breath.
Fang Jing also looked over in the direction of Mu Yuan's gaze, saw Liu Lu's back, and immediately said, "Brother Yuan, what enemy? I'll vent your anger for you."
Fang Jing was about to have an Engagement with Mu Yuan recently; this was the marriage alliance partner Mu Jinyuan had found for Mu Yuan. Relatively speaking, the Fang Family's assets naturally could not compare to the Mu Family's.
Moreover, for Fang Jing, being able to marry Mu Yuan was also the best choice, because the Mu Family was now dwindling in numbers; when the time came, she wouldn't just be a simple young mistress, but could also take advantage of the situation to grasp the Mu Family's power.
This was extremely rare for her, so even if Mu Yuan had a thousand faults, she could pretend not to see them.
"Forget it, don't underestimate her; she is the daughter-in-law of the current Richest Person in China," Mu Yuan said in a low voice.
Fang Jing was also stunned, then smiled and said, "Who cares who she is? On our turf in Hong Kong, even if she's a dragon, she has to coil up."
The few people following them also nodded one after another; these could be considered the Mu Family's die-hard supporters.
Of course, they knew the Mu Family and the Zhang Family had a major conflict, but they didn't care; currently, Zhang Ran's businesses were basically concentrated in the Mainland and couldn't reach them here in Hong Kong.
Mu Yuan was somewhat tempted; he really wanted to teach Liu Lu a lesson, but thinking of Zhang Ran, he couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I won't do anything, just make her embarrassed so she can't step down," Fang Jing said with a smile.
She wasn't stupid, of course she wouldn't do anything excessive, but giving Liu Lu some embarrassment was no problem.
Mu Yuan nodded and said, "But you must also mind your limits; Zhang Ran is a petty person, don't let him get any handle on you."
Fang Jing said, "That's for sure, Brother Yuan, just watch and see."
As she spoke, she walked toward the shop Liu Lu had just entered; as soon as she walked in, she saw that Liu Lu seemed to have picked out a handbag.
"Wrap this bag up for me," Fang Jing said directly.
Fang Jing was a regular customer here, so the shop assistant recognized her too; hearing this, the assistant was immediately overjoyed and said, "Miss Fang, you're here. Alright, I'll wrap the bag up for you right away."
Then, the assistant said to Liu Lu, "This miss, I'm sorry, the bag has been bought by Miss Fang. Would you like to look at others?"
Liu Lu looked at Fang Jing, then looked at the bag, and didn't pay much mind to it; her own personality was not one that liked to be competitive, especially in these aspects.
So she started picking out other handbags and didn't take this matter to heart.
Seeing Liu Lu's appearance, the corners of Fang Jing's mouth curled into a smile; she didn't leave either and followed along to look around the shop.
And when Liu Lu took a fancy to another handbag, Fang Jing said again, "I want this bag too."
The shop assistant didn't say a word and went to take the bag from Liu Lu's hand. Liu Lu didn't fight with her, but looked at Fang Jing and said, "This miss, do we know each other?"
Fang Jing smiled and said, "Sorry, this older sister, I just like this handbag. How about this, you pick any other one today, and I'll pay the bill."
At this point, how could Liu Lu not understand that this was someone coming to cause trouble for her? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
The shop assistant was about to wrap up the bag in her hand when she heard Liu Lu say, "I took a fancy to this bag first; I want it."
Then, ignoring the shop assistant, she looked at Fang Jing and said, "I don't lack this bit of money; I took a fancy to this bag first."
Fang Jing revealed a helpless expression, "This older sister, I really like this bag, and I already said, I..."
At this moment, the shop assistant actually ignored Liu Lu's words, as if she hadn't heard them, and wrapped up the bag to hand to Fang Jing.
Fang Jing took the handbag and stopped talking, just smilingly looking at Liu Lu, her eyes filled with some mockery.
Gu Panpan said angrily, "How can you be like this? And you shop assistants, is this how you do business?"
"Sorry, two misses, Miss Fang is our big client; she has the right to priority purchase for all products in our shop," the shop assistant said, appearing respectful but with a tone that was not polite at all.
She knew Fang Jing's status, so she was definitely standing on Fang Jing's side; when the time came and Fang Jing was happy, her commission would be much higher.
Liu Lu took a deep breath and stopped the angry Gu Panpan; she knew that at this moment, she was not the Liu Lu of the Liu Family, but the daughter-in-law of the Zhang Family.
If this matter were to spread, people would definitely say the Zhang Family was incompetent.
"I said, I want this bag—the one in her hand. Didn't you hear me?" Liu Lu said with calm eyes.
The shop assistant was slightly worried after being looked at like that, but soon, the store manager walked over.
"Oh my, what's going on? Sorry, I was a bit busy just now. Miss Fang, this miss, what's the matter?" The store manager was a young woman in her thirties, with a smile always hanging on her face.
The shop assistant whispered the matter, and the store manager immediately said, "This miss, how about this, you can pick anything in our shop, and I'll give you a twenty percent discount."
Liu Lu looked at her and said word by word, "I said, I want this bag. Didn't you hear me?"
The smile on the store manager's face remained unchanged, "This miss, Miss Fang has already paid. Can you please stop making things difficult for us?"
"I'm making things difficult for you? Isn't it you who are making things difficult for me?" Liu Lu said with a mocking tone.
