From Sidekick to Bigshot

The security guard glanced at the woman who was dressed stylishly.

From the woman’s outfit, the security guard knew that she came from a strong background. Just the jewelry that she was wearing was already worth a few million dollars.

And thus, the security guards could not afford to mess with this woman.

“Lady, if you accidentally stepped on this girl’s foot, you should probably apologize to her,” the security guard politely said.

“Just because they said so? Well, I can say that the girl slipped her foot under my high heels. As a result, she was the one who almost made me trip,” the woman replied arrogantly.

“How… How can you say that? You’re inverting right from wrong!” Hu Jiaojiao exclaimed angrily.

“You should be apologizing for your actions!” Hu Jiaojiao’s mother also exclaimed.

The expressions and actions of Hu Jiaojiao and her mother were incredibly similar.

“Tch, ground beetles,” the woman mocked contemptuously.

“Who are you calling a ground beetle?!” Hu Jiaojiao’s mother asked angrily.

“I’m calling you a ground beetle,” the woman said as she sized up Hu Jiaojiao’s mother. “Even though what you’re wearing is expensive, you’re just piling expensive things together. You’re definitely a parvenu.”

“What’s wrong with being a parvenu? I’m not stealing or something!” Hu Jiaojiao’s mother replied.

Hu Jiaojiao’s mother never denied her status as a parvenu. After all, they did make their fortune from demolition and real estate.

“Yeah, you don’t steal anything. However, you don’t know what manners are. Instead, you continuously spoke through the launch event. You’re like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time.”

The woman’s words made Hu Jiaojiao’s mother incredibly angry.

“You… How…”

Hu Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled her mother back: “Mother. Calm down, calm down. Don’t make a move. We will be at fault if you make a move.”

When the security guards saw the situation in front of them, they did not know what to do either.

And thus, through the intercom, they asked their manager to come and handle the situation.

Before their manager arrived, the woman’s husband came.

He was a man in his thirties who wore a suit.

It was the typical dress code of an upper-class businessman in Beijing.

“Honey, what’s wrong? I’ve been waiting for you in the parking lot,” the man said to the woman.

“I was delayed by three flies.”

The woman’s words made the man pay attention to the three people in front of him.

Hu Jiaojiao angrily said: “Who are you calling flies? You intentionally did this!”

The man’s eyes swept over Jian Yiling, Hu Jiaojiao, and Hu Jiaojiao’s mother before he turned around to speak to his wife: “Why would you argue with these people?”

“You think that I want to waste time on them? They’re the ones who are arguing with me. Now, they’re stopping me from leaving.”

“Ahh, forget it. Ignore them. Let’s go and eat. I made a reservation.”

After he said this, the man was about to leave with the woman.

However, Jian Yiling stepped forward and blocked their way: “Apologize.”

The woman sneered before she said: “See? They’re not letting me go.”

Upon seeing this, the man’s face darkened: “What do you want? Do you want compensation?”

Then, the man took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed it to Jian Yiling: “Is this enough money to compensate for the shoes you’re wearing?”

Jian Yiling did not even look at the money handed over by the man.

Hu Jiaojiao also rushed forward and said: “We don’t want your money! We want you to apologize!”

“In your dreams!” the woman said as she rolled her eyes at Jian Yiling, Hu Jiaojiao, and Hu Jiaojiao’s mother.

“Do you know who you’re messing with?” the man said as he began to become impatient.

At this moment, the manager rushed over. Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary dispute so he was not in a hurry.
