Chapter 936: Chapter 0936: Take You to Show Off, Take You to Fly
Just as Tang Yurou was startled by the price of the necklace, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Upon hearing this voice, Tang Yurou couldn’t help but turn her head to look in the direction it came from.
When she saw Fu Zibo, a trace of disdain flashed across Tang Yurou’s face.
She did know Fu Zibo—actually, by now, she was familiar with most of the rich and idle playboys in Beijing.
There was no choice: following Qin Rumeng around, it was nearly impossible not to meet them. What’s more, Qin Rumeng brought her along no matter what she did, exposing Tang Yurou to more and more people, naturally including the likes of Fu Zibo.
Tang Yurou didn’t like Fu Zibo at all. This guy was a complete playboy. When they first met, he even tried to flirt with Tang Yurou. Of course, Qin Rumeng had taught him a harsh lesson.
She hadn’t expected to run into him here today—how truly unfortunate!
The middle-aged man following Fu Zibo upstairs discreetly stepped aside with a strange expression on his face.
Having mingled in society for so many years, he had a knack for reading people. It was obvious that Fu Zibo and Tang Yurou were not on good terms.
And anyone who could clash with Fu Zibo was definitely someone with wealth and power, far beyond his league!
The last thing he wanted was to get dragged into their conflict. Best to keep his distance—no point in getting caught in a fight between gods and ending up as collateral damage.
The woman who came with Fu Zibo picked up on his mocking tone toward Tang Yurou and immediately understood that something was amiss. Without hesitation, she said coldly, "If you can’t afford it, leave. Stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Ye Xunhuan, standing nearby, didn’t say a word. He simply watched Fu Zibo and the woman with a hint of amusement.
"Can’t afford it?" Tang Yurou sneered defiantly. "How do you know I can’t afford it? And is this place owned by your family? You think I’ll leave just because you said so? Who do you think you are?"
Tang Yurou might present herself as a demure and gentle woman in front of Ye Xunhuan, but that didn’t mean she’d behave the same way around others.
Under Qin Rumeng’s tutelage, Tang Yurou had come to understand the rules of Beijing: if you endure humiliation, it only emboldens others to trample over you.
To avoid being bullied, you had to strike back fiercely, regardless of who you were dealing with. Establish dominance first, let the chips fall where they may—and if the sky collapses, Qin Rumeng can hold it up!
This was the wisdom Qin Rumeng had imparted to Tang Yurou.
Ye Xunhuan looked a bit stunned at Tang Yurou’s sudden change in demeanor. He couldn’t help but think back to his time at the Mu family in Tianjin!
Back then, Tang Yurou had been equally assertive.
It’s no wonder what people often say is true: everyone has two sides, and rivers have two banks.
As the conflict between Tang Yurou and Fu Zibo intensified, the nearby waitress became visibly uneasy. She quickly turned to the middle-aged manager standing off to the side, hoping he’d intervene.
The manager, however, just turned his head away as if he hadn’t seen anything, pretending not to notice.
Why step in? He wasn’t stupid—the phrase "begging for trouble" came to mind.
He had no intention of intervening!
After all, this woman was in the entertainment industry, a notoriously chaotic field. She had quite a bit of fame to her name, and she wasn’t about to let Tang Yurou’s remarks get to her. Without hesitation, she countered bluntly.
"If you’re just here to feast your eyes, no one can stop you. But there’s value in knowing your own limits—live within your means. Stop trying to put on airs, because if you fail, the embarrassment won’t just fall on you..."
The woman was sharp-tongued, and her rebuttal was harsh enough to leave no room for retreat.
"Putting on airs?" Tang Yurou chuckled mockingly. "You should probably ask the man beside you first whether I’m just putting on airs!"
After speaking, Tang Yurou shifted her gaze toward Fu Zibo. "Young Master Fu, am I putting on airs?"
Hearing Tang Yurou’s words, everyone turned their attention to Fu Zibo.
Many people here were familiar with Fu Zibo—he was a Beijing native, after all. But the same couldn’t be said for Tang Yurou; few people knew her.
Under all those stares, Fu Zibo’s expression grew increasingly stiff and unnatural.
Tang Yurou might not have money herself, but Qin Rumeng definitely did.
Forget about this necklace—if she wanted to buy the entire jewelry store, it wouldn’t even be a problem.
Given Qin Rumeng’s obsession with indulging Tang Yurou, if she wanted a necklace, it really wouldn’t be a big deal.
"What’s wrong, Young Master Fu? Cat got your tongue? Or do you also think I’m just putting on airs..."
Faced with Tang Yurou’s aggressive questioning, Fu Zibo exhaled heavily and said, "Miss Tang, there’s no denying that you have the means, but it seems like the money isn’t yours, is it?"
Though Fu Zibo knew Tang Yurou could afford the necklace, he wasn’t one to back down. He subtly implied that Tang Yurou was flaunting wealth that wasn’t hers—Qin Rumeng’s money!
Tang Yurou wasn’t oblivious to the undertones of his statement, but she remained unfazed.
Still, she understood that if she responded poorly, people might misunderstand her. At the very least, they might think she was a kept woman—a mere plaything funded by someone else.
"Whether the money is mine or not, Young Master Fu, feel free to give my aunt a call to ask!" Tang Yurou cleverly replied. "If you don’t have her number, I’d be happy to provide it!"
Fu Zibo’s face grew darker once again. He had wanted to trip Tang Yurou up, but she had effortlessly deflected his jab.
"So, Young Master Fu—will you make the call?"
At this moment, Fu Zibo was completely at a loss for what to do.
If he called Qin Rumeng, it would be tantamount to suicide.
The woman who had come with Fu Zibo picked up on his hesitation and realized that Tang Yurou must be telling the truth. Her aunt was indeed very wealthy—wealthy enough to intimidate even Fu Zibo. However, what worth was wealth anyway?
The woman sneered, addressing Tang Yurou, "So what if you have money? There are things in this world that you can’t buy just because you’re rich!"
The Fu family had recently aligned themselves with the influential Xiao family, their new status buoyed by association. This emboldened the woman, who dismissed Tang Yurou’s aunt as nothing more than a wealthy snob.
"What, are you telling me there’s something here I couldn’t buy even if I tried?"
At that moment, Fu Zibo glanced at the middle-aged manager, the one in charge of the store.
It was just a glance, but it made the manager feel like he’d fallen into an icy abyss.
To hell with this—this was a conflict between giants, and getting involved was nothing short of suicide.
But Fu Zibo had already signaled him with his eyes. If he didn’t speak up now, then...
On the other hand, opening his mouth meant facing off against the unpredictable Tang Yurou!
At this critical moment, Ye Xunhuan’s phone rang, cutting through the tense silence in the hall.
The next second, Ye Xunhuan ignored everyone’s reactions and casually pulled out his phone, answering the call.
"Hello..."
"Young Master Ye, where are you right now? I’ve got everything set up—ready to help you flex and fly..."
