Chapter 9 Wang Yuzhen Is Thunderstruck Again

• As Lin Jue took back the black gold card from the sales agent, he looked at Wang Yuzhen who was still reeling from shock, and said gleefully, “Oh, this card? I picked it up from the floor somewhere. Go get the security guards already. I’ll be waiting right here.”
• “Y-y-you…” her finger was pointing at Lin Jue while tremors ran all over her body.
• Lin Jue heaved a triumphant sigh. He then took a pen from the cashier, scribbled an address on a piece of paper and passed it to the sales agent. “Pack it up and send them to this address.”
• “Alright, sir. I’ll send them for you. Rest assured you’ll get everything that you’ve paid for.” The sales agent was elated, for she had earned tens of thousands in commission from this transaction alone. And more importantly, she wanted to make sure that she got in this handsome man’s good books so her career would be smooth sailing. A few clients from his connections would make her rich!
• “Thank you.” nodded Lin Jue with a smile.
• Then Lin Jue beckoned at Yin Xuan, took her hand and said, “My pretty, shall we go for a ride in my car?”
• “Yay, let’s go!” answered Yin Xuan merrily.
• “Let’s go…” nodded Lin Jue. Then, he headed off along with Yin Xuan.
• “Hey, wait! I have something to talk to you about!” Wang Yuzhen overtook Lin Jue and stood in Lin Jue’s way.
• Lin Jue was struck as both surprised and amused by the moronic woman as he sneered, “Huh, who are you? Do I even know you? Don’t pretend that we are close, okay? You have something to talk to me about? But why should I entertain it? We are not related to each other anymore and you’re nothing to me!”
• Wang Yuzhen’s face turned white at his words. Shaking in rage, she hollered, “Lin, if you didn’t want to talk, why the hell did you ask me to come here to look for you?!”
• Lin Jue halted in his way, turned around and said gleefully to Wang Yuzhen, “I got you to come so I could embarrass you. That’s why. Got it? And, remember what I said that you should be thankful that you are Shen Peibai’s mother?”
• “That’s right. You, old woman. How old are you? Look at that wacky stuff you’re wearing! Eww, what have you plastered your face with? What an old bat you are! Haha…” jeered Yin Xuan.
• Lin Jue and Yin Xuan then turned to leave, leaving Wang Yuzhen totally defeated on the spot.
• “ARRGGGHHH!!” Wang Yuzhen went outright berserk in the store, and she grabbed the heap of unpacked clothing that Lin Jue had paid for and hurled them to the floor. Then, she trampled on them over and over again.
• “You scourge! Let’s see how you’re gonna wear this…” she was lost in her anger now as she was terrorizing the luxury dresses by stepping and spitting on them repeatedly.
• She was oblivious to her surroundings. She was not aware that in her fit of rage, a few sales agents were watching with scornful faces. But none of them waded in to stop her. All they did was just looking on quietly. At the same time, the pretty sales agent who had served Lin Jue earlier had summoned the security guards.
• About five minutes into her fit of anger, Wang Yuzhen began to realize that a crowd of spectators had gathered around just outside the store, all watching the scene she had caused in the store. Many of them were filming the hostile flurry with their mobile phones.
• It was only then that Wang Yuzhen came to her senses, realizing the mess all over the floor… Looking at the dresses and the footwear strewn around, the feeling of fear caught on. Then she suddenly came to her senses, Any one of these costs at least a few grand, some even tens of thousands!
• Wang Yuzhen gulped in fear, and then turned to the sales agent and said, “Look, since you have sold these to that useless Lin Jue, you have got nothing to do with this. So mind your own business…”
• “Ha! I’m sorry but I’m afraid this is within our ambit because Mr. Lin’s products have not left our premises yet. According to the commercial law, if a product is damaged by a third party on the vendor’s business premises, then the vendor can get the third party who has damaged the product to be liable for compensation. Moreover, you have not just damaged the products that Mr. Lin has paid for, you’ve also broken dozens of our cosmetic products. I’ve done some calculations. The loss and damage you’ve caused amount to roughly 1,200,000. May I know if you prefer to pay by card or cash?” chuckled the sales lady coldly.
• Upon hearing what the sales agent said, Wang Yuzhen started to run for the exit and screamed, “Don’t come after me! Go and find that useless Lin Jue. Get him to pay!”
• The next moment, she ran into a six foot tall security guard and BAM! The security guard gave her a boot causing her to backpedal and crouch down in pain.
• The sales agent then came before the crouching Wang Yuzhen and said, “Hmm, you ran away just like that after causing all the havoc? Where do you think you are? What you have done in our store has gravely affected our brand image. We have sent the video footage of your crime to our legal counsel. We’ll leave it to the court for a fair judgment. And we have also called the police. You’ll stay until the police are here!”
• Wang Yuzhen was at her wits’ end now. She almost pissed in her pants when she heard that the police were coming for her. For what she knew about the law, she reckoned that her conduct would get her into the jail. She did not want to go to jail. No one could live with their head up high ever again if they have been in jail.
• Understanding the gravity of her potential fate, Wang Yuzhen softened and pleaded with the sales agent, “Alright, I’ll pay… I’ll pay for this. Let’s settle this amicably… Privately… 1,200,000, is it? Alright, alright…”
• But the sales agent shook her head and said, “Ha! It’s not just 1,200,000 actually. What about the damage you’ve done to our brand image? We value our brand image highly. Humph! We don’t want your money. We’ll make sure you get sent to jail for this!”
• “No, no, no! Please… Please! I’m sorry, I-I… I apologize. I’m so sorry. Please don’t do that to me! Please just give your legal counsel a call. Just give me the figure and I will pay! Please…” beseeched Wang Yuzhen as she was tugging at the sales agent’s hand, crying in desperation.
• But the sales agent was unfazed and resolute.
• Then Wang Yuzhen seemed to have realized something as she exclaimed, “Oh, you know… That man is my son-in-law. We had a row recently. But he’s been with my daughter for a long time… They still love each other despite the occasional quarrels. Please… For the sake of Lin Jue, do this for me. Give your legal counsel a call and tell me the figure and I’ll pay you no matter what…”
• The sales lady frowned at the brazenness of the woman. She wanted to ignore Wang Yuzhen’s pleas, but she was also leery of Lin Jue, the man who possessed the rare black gold card. Surely, she would not do anything that would get herself in trouble with this man. Having run the calculations in her head, the sales agent finally said, “Alright, for the sake of Mr. Lin, I’ll submit an appeal for you to my management. Hmmm… I wonder why someone like Mr. Lin would marry a woman with a mother like you…”
• Wang Yuzhen fell sitting on the floor feeling exhausted. She was now struggling internally. She had never thought Lin Jue to be so influential that she could escape jail time because of him…
