Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 065: Dog Relying on the Power of Others
The sky is full of clouds and the sky is full of mist. More than ten days have passed in a flash. The Magic City is still the bustling city with lights and music, but the people in it have changed one after another. Some people have left their hometowns and rushed in with hope, while some people left silently and returned to their hometowns in despair.
On Sunday, Yuan Xudong accompanied Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun shopping. The two women walked hand in hand, and Yuan Xudong followed behind with bags. Amid the envious or jealous gazes of many male passers-by, he complained directly:
"I'm tired and need to rest for a while. We've been shopping for more than three hours. How long are you going to shop for?"
Zhu Suosuo walked in front of Jiang Nansun while pulling her back and looking at him with a smile:
"Yuan Xudong, are you able to do this? Nansun and I are not tired, how can you, a grown man, do this?"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo making fun of him, Yuan Xudong directly responded jokingly:
"There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death. Of course, you and Nansun don't feel tired, and you haven't even had time to enjoy yourself yet!"
"Pooh~~"
Seeing Yuan Xudong bringing her up, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but spit. She turned to look at him, her face angrily saying:
"Yuan Xudong, you are such a jerk. Your mind is full of dirty and vulgar things. How could Suosuo choose a boyfriend like you?"
"Thank you for the compliment. You guys can take your time shopping. I'll go to the cafe to rest for a while!"
Passing by a pet cafe, Yuan Xudong left Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and walked over. He pushed the door open and the welcoming bell rang. A waitress dressed as a maid said in a sweet voice:
"Sir, welcome to Alicia's Pet Cafe!"
"Yuan Yuan?"
Looking at Yuan Yuan, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit and looked completely different from a dozen days ago, Yuan Xudong said in surprise:
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here, how have you been recently?"
Without waiting for Yuan Yuan to respond, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo pushed the door open and looked at Yuan Yuan in front of Yuan Xudong in surprise:
"Yuan Yuan, why are you working here?"
Yuan Yuan led Yuan Xudong and the other two to the booth and explained shyly:
"I live with my brother Anren, but I still have to pay for my living expenses. I also want to earn more money for tuition, so I work two jobs, one during the day and one at night!"
Hearing Yuan Yuan say this, Jiang Nansun's face was slightly stunned, and she said in a complicated voice:
"I heard from Zhang Anren that you have stomach discomfort. Can your body bear such hardship?"
"It's okay, thank you sister Nansun for your concern!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong and the other two sitting down, Yuan Yuan handed over a coffee list and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, Sister Nansun, and this beautiful sister, the coffee here is quite expensive. I don't have much money, so I won't treat you. When I make money, I will treat you to better coffee!"
Looking at Yuan Yuan who was very open and confident, Zhu Suosuo said with a smile:
"Hello, I'm Zhu Suosuo. I've heard about you from Nansun a long time ago. You're Zhang Anren's junior high school classmate. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello Sister Suosuo, I'm Yuan Yuan, nice to meet you!"
Seeing Yuan Yuan standing aside waiting, Yuan Xudong glanced at the coffee list and decided directly:
"One latte and two Americanos, both large, please!"
"Of course, this is my job."
Yuan Yuan nodded slightly, then went to the counter to prepare coffee. Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun and whispered:
"This Yuan Yuan is not easy to deal with. She and Zhang Anren are alone in the same room. Aren't you worried at all?"
Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Zhu Suosuo, took out her phone, opened WeChat, sent a photo to Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo, and said calmly:
"She is Zhang Anren's first love. We were childhood sweethearts and were together for four years in college. Zhang Anren pursued me when I was studying for my master's degree. Whether he was cheating on me or dumped Yuan Yuan first, I feel very disgusted, especially since he is still hiding it from me and living with his ex-girlfriend openly!"
Looking at the pictures on WeChat, Zhang Anren and Yuan Yuan were hugging each other, standing in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower, their faces full of happiness and sweetness. Yuan Yuan even kissed Zhang Anren on the cheek. Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but said angrily:
"This Zhang Anren is such a jerk. He's been in a relationship before, but he's still hiding it so secretly, saying that the girl is in Shanghai for the first time and he's just an ordinary junior high school classmate. I never realized he was such a person before. Nansun, where did you find this photo?"
Jiang Nansun said calmly:
"I asked his college classmates for it."
Zhu Suosuo looked slightly stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Did he offend his college classmates to send you such a photo?"
Giving Zhu Suosuo a blank look, Jiang Nansun explained expressionlessly:
"I said I was Yuan Yuan and was going to get married to Zhang Anren. I asked them for some photos to make a short video of the wedding scene. When they graduated, Zhang Anren was still with Yuan Yuan. The two were very loving. Everyone thought they were going to get married, so they sent the photos to me."
"Okay, Jiang Nansun!"
Zhu Suosuo patted Jiang Nansun on the shoulder, and said with surprise and joy:
"I thought you would be bullied by Yuan Yuan, but I didn't expect you to be so good. You did a great job!"
Glancing at Jiang Nansun, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I've already said that you wouldn't be Zhang Anren's first love. He must have been lying to you. Now the truth is out. You have to accept the defeat. Remember, you still owe me a request!"
After that, without waiting for Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo to speak, he diverted their attention and said:
"What are you going to do? Are you going to break up with Zhang Anren?"
"I……"
Jiang Nansun was about to say something when a noise was heard not far away. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yuan Yuan and a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup bowing and apologizing.
"Madam Wang, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"
"You burned my son, is it enough to just say sorry?"
"I was delivering coffee and it hit me on its own. It just splashed a little bit, but most of it went on me."
"Who do you think you are? Can you compare with my son? My son is worth 700,000 yuan. Can a coffee waiter like you afford to pay him?"
Seeing that the new waiter in his shop had a conflict with the VIP, the owner of the cafe quickly walked towards Mrs. Wang and said with a smile:
"Madam Wang, she is a new waitress and she is still young. Please don't bother with her. I will give her a free meal today as an apology."
Seeing the owner of the coffee shop took the initiative to apologize on behalf of Yuan Yuan, Mrs. Wang waved her hands and said arrogantly:
"Forget it. She looks like a country bumpkin who just came from the countryside. Just ask her to apologize and get the bill waived. Do I need that little bit of money from you?"
When she heard Mrs. Wang scolding her for being a country bumpkin, and the boss signaling her with his eyes that she should apologize, Yuan Yuan clenched her fingers tightly, trying to hold back the humiliation and said:
"Madam Wang, I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
"You are wrong. Don't apologize to me, apologize to my son!"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Yuan Yuan with contempt, picked up an unknown pet dog from the ground and held it in her arms. The originally quiet pet dog immediately barked at Yuan Yuan, just like a real dog taking advantage of the power of its master!
Being bullied was fine, but a dog could also yell at her. Yuan Yuan's face turned pale, and she felt extremely aggrieved. Just like her mother said, people are looked down upon when they leave their hometown!
"Madam Wang, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but your son has a very strange appearance. I wonder what breed your husband is?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was becoming more and more excessive, Yuan Xudong could not help but stood up and walked over, pulled Yuan Yuan behind him, and slapped Mrs. Wang's dog son. The poor dog immediately lowered its head and whimpered, hiding in Mrs. Wang's arms, and dared not bark again.
Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, who were following behind Yuan Xudong, comforted Yuan Yuan while glaring at Mrs. Wang who was bullying others. Unfortunately, the other party didn't care about other people's opinions at all and only had Yuan Xudong in her eyes.
Seeing Yuan Xudong mocking her and beating her beloved dog, Mrs. Wang was furious and said:
"Do you know who my husband is?"
Yuan Xudong shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Mrs. Wang to continue. Mrs. Wang stroked and comforted her frightened dog while boasting proudly:
"My husband is Wang Fugui, a tycoon in the aquaculture industry in Shanghai. He gave me this dog. He spent 700,000 yuan. In your hometown, it should be enough to buy a house, right?"
"King Turtle?"
Yuan Xudong looked surprised. No wonder Wang Fugui wanted to have fun outside. No man could stand having a shrewish wife at home.
"Do you know my husband?"
When Mrs. Wang heard Yuan Xudong calling out her husband's nickname, she still looked arrogant and said:
"If you are my husband's friend, then forget it. Otherwise, I will never let you two go. My family runs several breeding farms and earns tens of millions of yuan every year. How much are your two worthless lives?"
Not wanting to get entangled with a fierce woman like Madam Wang, Yuan Xudong spoke directly:
"I advise you not to embarrass yourself here, go home and take care of your husband, or you might lose your title of Madam Wang one day. Your husband is very happy out there, surrounded by beautiful young girls.
We also had a drink at the Park Hyatt Hotel. He brought a sexy girl with him. By the way, my name is Yuan Xudong. Go back and ask Wang Fugui if he still remembers me. Let’s hang out when we have time!”
Seeing Yuan Xudong's confident words, she thought of her husband who often stayed out all night, stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel under the pretext of discussing business, and looked so weak when paying taxes. She said with a pale face:
"I'll remember you. I'll settle accounts with you two next time!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong's response, she left the cafe directly, squeezed into a red sports car with her beloved dog in her arms, and drove away.
After praying for Wang Fugui in his heart, Yuan Xudong turned to look at Yuan Yuan and said:
"Are you OK?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
Yuan Yuan shook her head slightly and hesitated for a moment. She looked at the owner of the coffee shop and said:
"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to resign. Thank you for your care during this period!"
Seeing that Yuan Yuan had made up her mind, the owner of the cafe nodded in agreement:
"I'll give you half a month's salary. I'll transfer the money to you via WeChat later. Go change your clothes first."
Yuan Yuan shook her head slightly and said firmly:
"I worked for eleven and a half days. I just knocked over three cups of coffee. I want you to deduct half a day's salary and give me eleven days' salary. It's only fair that you get what you pay for!"
"Okay, I'll transfer you eleven days' salary. If you don't find a better job, you're always welcome to come back here!"
"thank you boss!"
After thanking the owner of the coffee shop, Yuan Yuan looked at Yuan Xudong and the others and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, Sister Nansun, and Sister Suosuo, I'll buy you some coffee. Please wait for a moment while I go change my clothes."
Without waiting for Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo to speak, Yuan Xudong nodded in agreement:
"Okay, go change your clothes. We'll be waiting for you at the same place. One latte and two Americanos, both large. What would you like to drink?"
"I want a large flat white, too!"
