Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 684: Beating People
Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Beating People
Guo Yun was unaware of being exploited by others and, with fierce glint in her wide eyes, still tried to reason it out with Guo Jinnian.
Guo Jinnian found it ridiculous: "Did you just brazenly claim that, as long as someone isn’t married, it’s fair game for you to steal their partner? Do you have absolutely no sense of morality? Don’t you care about any basic principles?"
Guo Yun didn’t think she was wrong and insisted confidently: "Indeed, as long as the other party is not married, everyone has the opportunity to pursue them. Why should I step aside for others?"
Guo Yun was fully convinced that her viewpoint was right and saw nothing wrong with it. Her words amused Guo Jinnian. "I’ve never seen someone so shameless, talking so confidently about such a vile thing. You certainly bring honor to your family. If you were my daughter, I’d slap you to death."
"Who do you want to slap to death?" Guo Yun, her eyes wide with anger and contempt, stared at Guo Jinnian. "What right do you, a parvenu, have to lecture me here? Do you think making a bit of dirty money allows you to compare yourself with me? You’re just a country bumpkin who thinks he’s turned into a phoenix, no sense of your true nature."
Guo Jinnian could no longer hold herself back. Upon hearing this, she raised her hand and slapped Guo Yun directly in the face. Shaking off the sting in her arm, she said, "Take this slap as a lesson and watch your manners when you speak. We’re not in your house, and there’ll be people here who will discipline you."
She had long found Guo Yun unbearable. A spoiled and pompous little missy, just because her family has some money, thinks she’s somewhat superior.
Stunned, Guo Yun held her face for a moment before reacting. She let out a scream and lunged at Guo Jinnian, "I swear, I will make you regret hitting me. If I do not beat you until you’re scrambling for your teeth on the ground today, then my surname isn’t Guo."
The shop owner hurriedly held back Guo Yun, "Let’s talk it through, no need for fighting."
Guo Jinnian merely laughed, "Better to not share the same last name with you to save the ’Guo’ name some embarrassment." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Tong Yao, observing Guo Yun’s crazed antics, felt overwhelmed. Encountering such an insolent woman was quite a damper.
"Shopkeeper, how much for the clothes?"
Intending not to linger in this shop any longer, she decided to pay for the two dresses that belonged to Guo Jinnian and leave.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to speak, Guo Yun started yelling: "Don’t tell her! She wants to leave after hitting me? Not a chance. They aren’t leaving today without apologizing on their knees."
Dismissing Guo Yun with a roll of her eyes, Guo Jinnian threatened, "I’ll make you kneel and apologize after I’m done with you, believe it or not?"
Xiang Youyou, who had been silent the whole time, snapped out from the shock of Guo Yun being hit. Seeing a crowd gathering at the shop entrance, she sternly demanded, "Apologize to Yunyun, or none of you will be allowed to leave."
Tong Yao laughed lightly, "What if we refuse to apologize, what will you do then? Continue fighting? Shopkeeper, you can let her go. This matter has nothing to do with you. You only need to see who damages your clothes and ask them to compensate."
Xiang Youyou didn’t expect Tong Yao to be so confident, of course, she wouldn’t join in the fight now. After all, she wasn’t the one being hit and she felt that fighting publicly in front of many people was a very disgraceful act.
The products sold here were all high-end, and the patrons were all well-established individuals in Kyoto. How embarrassing would it be if they encountered anyone they knew?
The shop owner, upon hearing Tong Yao’s words, let go of Guo Yun. At this point, Guo Yun was not as fiery as before, so she did not dare to pounce on Guo Jinnian.
The slap that Guo Jinnian gave her earlier was not light. She had never engaged in fights with anyone before and was uncertain about her chances of beating Guo Jinnian.
Nevertheless, having been slapped, she was not willing to let this matter rest. Directing at both Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian, she said, "You dare to stay here if you have guts, don’t you dare leave. I am going to call for help right now, you dare to hit me? I will make you regret it!"
Guo Jinnian smacked away Guo Yun’s finger, "Point at me again and I’ll twist your finger off."
The slap left the back of Guo Yun’s hand numb, and she couldn’t help crying, "You’re so mean to me. I’ll have my brother and my parents beat you to death, making it impossible for you to stay in Kyoto."
From childhood till now, no one had ever dared to hit her. These two women actually bullied her together, which was too much. She had never suffered such a grievance before.
Xiang Youyou quickly approached her and comforted her, holding her shoulders, "Yunyun, don’t cry. Let’s call someone right now."
That said, she glanced at Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian, "What are your names?"
As long as they found out their names, they could find them even if they fled.
Tong Yao laughed lightly, "If you are so capable, you can do a check by yourselves. Unless you plan on staying here and not leaving, we intend to leave as we have no interest in wasting time with you."
She did not intend to stay here and wait for Guo Yun to call for backup. It wasn’t fear, but she simply didn’t have the leisure time to spare.
Upon hearing this, Guo Yun was about to lose it, she wanted to point at Tong Yao, but upon recalling Guo Jinnian’s threatening action, she held herself back, angrily declaring, "You hit me and want to leave? Dream on!"
She turned to Xiang Youyou, "Youyou, wait for me here and watch them. I’ll go call for backup now. I want them to know the consequences of messing with me. They can’t leave today until they kneel down and apologize."
No one had ever hit her since she was little, and this woman dared to take action, how could she swallow this indignation?
With that thought in mind, Guo Yun pushed Xiang Youyou away and ran out of the store.
"Yunyun."
Xiang Youyou called out and hurriedly followed suit.
The aggrieved one wasn’t her. Anyone would be foolish to stay behind for a two-on-one fight.
Seeing the two of them leaving, the shop owner quickly advised Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian: "Ladies, you’d better leave now! They are calling for backup. Don’t victimize yourselves, go now!"
After all, Tong Yao was a regular customer. Today’s incident was not her fault. It was those two ladies who were causing the trouble and she didn’t want to see Tong Yao getting taken advantage of.
On the other hand, Tong Yao wasn’t in a hurry. She calmly responded, "Shopkeeper, don’t worry, they can’t get reinforcements so quickly. How much are these two outfits? We’ll buy them."
Guo Jinnian wasn’t afraid either. She could take on several people by herself, "Right, there’s no need to be afraid. If they dare call someone, I’ll beat everyone in attendance."
She wasn’t even afraid of the police – from the police’s point of view, it would look like they were outnumbering Yunyun.
Seeing that neither Tong Yao nor Guo Jinnian were afraid, the shopkeeper assumed that they both came from substantial backgrounds. This eased her worries a bit but still implored, "You better hurry back after purchasing the clothes! A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him. Those two girls are unreasonable and, from what I see, their parents aren’t any wiser."
She bagged the clothes and gave Tong Yao an 80% discount. Normally, her clothing didn’t come with discounts, and the highest would be at most 90% during the end of season sales.
