Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2079 - 558: Escalation of the Situation (Burst Update 11)

"What kind of ridiculous regulations and procedures are these?!" The tall woman was furious, ever since she married her husband, she had never been treated like this, "That dress was picked out by my mom, it’s wrong for you to sell it to someone else! I don’t care, if you don’t give me an explanation, this won’t be over!"

Xiao Yu subtly frowned, these two were clearly not easy to deal with. She had encountered many spoiled heirs in Xuandu City, but even the most arrogant and bossy ones could still be reasoned with. She had never met anyone so unreasonable before.

While she was pondering how to deal with these two, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Mom, Tingting, what do you think of this gown?" Kong Shi came out from the fitting room in the clothing area, smiling, and showed off the newly purchased dress to her mother-in-law and her future daughter-in-law.

Old Lady An and Gu Tingting, who were watching the tall woman, turned to look and were visibly amazed. The old and the young walked hand in hand to Kong Shi, smiling as they admired her, with satisfied expressions.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful. It looks just like when Xiao Shi married my Zisheng back then!" Old Lady An couldn’t stop praising.

Kong Shi blushed slightly, remembering the scene from over twenty years ago when she married An Zisheng, and she couldn’t help but show a gentle smile.

Old Lady An smiled kindly and was about to speak when suddenly a gust of wind swept by, pushing her inexplicably to the side and almost causing her to trip over the steps and fall.

"Grandma An!" Gu Tingting’s expression changed, quickly reaching out to support her.

Although Old Lady An practiced ancient martial arts for health and longevity, she had no real combat experience. Additionally, being engrossed in the conversation, she was off guard, never imagining a woman would pass by and rudely bump into her.

"It scared me half to death!" Old Lady An steadied herself after a twist but was indeed startled.

Seeing the old lady was fine, Gu Tingting breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling the earlier scene, her anger surged.

"How do you walk? Didn’t you see there was an elderly person nearby?" She raised her eyebrows, glaring at the tall woman who had bumped into the old lady.

The tall woman gave her a contemptuous look and then turned to Kong Shi, pointing at her nose with fingers adorned with black nails.

"So you’re the one who bought the dress! Take it off, my mom picked it out!"

Kong Shi frowned, puzzled, and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu thought this was bad and quickly stepped forward to stand between Kong Shi and the tall woman.

"Miss, This dress has just been reserved with a deposit by Mrs. Kong. Your mother did try it some days ago, but she didn’t pay to reserve it. Please adhere to the store’s regulations and don’t stir up trouble."

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m being unreasonable?" The tall woman was enraged, puzzled at how a mere store clerk dared to bully her. Did they think she had no backing?

"Honey! Look at them! They are looking down on me!" The tall woman suddenly shifted to tears, turning her gaze toward the man.

The man strode over with an air of self-assurance, glancing at Gu Tingting and Kong Shi. Unknown to him, they weren’t members of any distinguished family. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Madam, my mother-in-law saw this gown first. I hope you can cancel the deposit and return it to us. We can compensate you with double the deposit as an apology; what do you think?" The man’s attitude seemed decent, but the haughtiness in his gaze was quite evident. He looked at Kong Shi like a lofty king expecting gratitude and thanks.

However, this time, he had made a mistake.

"I’m sorry, but I’ve already paid for this gown, so naturally it’s mine." Kong Shi said calmly, despite having a good temper, as An Zisheng’s wife, she wasn’t someone to be easily manipulated. If the other’s attitude was sincere, she might have been willing to let him have the gown after discussing it. But with their terrible attitude and nearly bumping into her mother-in-law, he should dream on if they wanted her to give up the dress!

The man didn’t expect Kong Shi to refuse his request, and he was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, he was angry.

"Madam, you should really think about this. In Xuandu City, there are some people you just can’t afford to offend."

At this moment, Gu Tingting had seated Old Lady An on the sofa and returned.

"No means no! Why fumble around? This gown belongs to my aunt anyway, why should she let you have it? You think having some money makes you special? If you have the guts, go open your own studio, why come here to stir up trouble!" Gu Tingting unleashed her words like a machine gun, leaving the two of them stupefied. "My old granny’s already sixty, nearly seventy, does this woman have any manners? Dressed in diamonds but all rotten inside. Are those holes on your nose or what?"

"You—" The tall woman shivered with anger.

Gu Tingting raised her eyebrows and cut her off, "You what? Pointing fingers at someone is quite rude, don’t you know? Where’s your upbringing? Your manners? Did you apologize after bumping into the old lady? Didn’t you learn anything about first come, first served when buying clothes?"

The tall woman was so upset she couldn’t say a word, and the man, shocked by the scolding, finally regained his composure, his face darkening instantly.

"Enough! I warn you not to go too far!"

"Too far?!" Gu Tingting sneered, shielding Kong Shi, "Who’s going too far? We’ve obviously paid the deposit, according to the store’s rules, this gown shouldn’t be sold again. But you, bullying the staff, shoving the old lady, trying to snatch forcibly, is there no law and order? You like the gown but won’t pay and still don’t want others to buy it? You think you’re the sun, making everyone revolve around you?"

The man had never been pointed at and scolded like this before. His family background was highly privileged, handsome, with excellent grades; he had been adored since childhood, especially by women who couldn’t resist him and wished to bring him up high. Initially, he thought this girl was cute, believing he should be gentle. Unexpectedly, she lacked understanding!

Seeing Gu Tingting’s resolute face, the man sneered and reached out to grab her, "Law and order? Let me tell you, in Xuandu, I am the law!"

"Oh, so you are the law! I didn’t realize Xuandu had bred so many fools?!"

The gentle voice rang coldly from behind everyone.

All turned toward the voice, and upon seeing the girl in the red court gown, they were astounded.

Beautiful! So beautiful! A beauty that takes one’s breath away!
