Chapter 28: Does Your Mother Know You Are This Arrogant?

Chapter 28: Are Your Parents Aware of How Arrogant You Are?

The sales assistant looked at Xue An with a troubled expression, only to find him with his eyes cast downward, lost in thought. His silence only made the woman beside the pot-bellied man more insufferable.

"Did you hear that? We’ve taken a liking to it, so this piece of clothing belongs to us. Tell him to take it off!"

"Miss, there is no such precedent..."

The pot-bellied man suddenly sneered, "Go call your manager. I want to see if there’s really no such precedent!"

The sales assistant felt helpless. As a clerk at a high-end shopping club, her sole duty was to satisfy the customers. Throughout all of this, Xue An remained silent. The sales assistant couldn't help but feel a twinge of disdain; he looked like a decent man, but it turned out he was nothing more than a coward.

A few minutes later, Zhao Feng, the manager in charge of the menswear department, arrived. Upon seeing the pot-bellied man, Zhao Feng’s face practically broke into a sycophantic grin as he rushed forward.

"Oh, if it isn't Manager Sun! It’s been a long time, a long time indeed!"

The man known as Manager Sun let out a cold snort through his nostrils. "Little Zhao, your staff is not up to par!"

"Manager Sun, what happened?"

"My woman took a liking to an outfit, but there was only one left. This man is wearing it, so we asked him to take it off. That’s not an unreasonable request, is it?" Manager Sun said with an air of arrogance.

"Not at all, not at all!"

"Yet your staff actually told me there was no such precedent!"

"I am truly sorry, Manager Sun. It must be that I haven't trained them well enough. They've offended you! I will discipline them right now!"

Zhao Feng turned and barked furiously at the sales assistants, "You brainless lot, do you know who this is? This is the security manager of our Longtai Group! Are you all blind? How dare you talk back to Manager Sun!"

The sales assistants stood trembling, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

"Manager Sun, I will discipline them properly in the future. How does that sound?" Manager Zhao asked obsequiously.

Sun Bo nodded expressionlessly. He considered his status too high to waste words on a mere floor manager; after all, the Yinlong Shopping Mall was only one of many businesses under the Longtai Group. Compared to a small-time floor manager here, his position as the security manager of the parent group carried far more weight.

"And that outfit! We want that too—tell him to take it off!" the young, pretty woman added with a look of extreme arrogance.

"Yes, yes, yes! Rest assured, I will get it done for you!"

Manager Zhao turned to the silent Xue An. "Sir, you’ve seen the situation. Manager Sun is very fond of the outfit you’re wearing. Just take it off and give it to him. You haven't paid for it yet anyway, so it doesn't really matter!"

Although Manager Zhao tried to sound patient, he didn't think much of Xue An at all. But just as he finished speaking, Xue An slowly raised his head and raised an eyebrow. "What did you just say?"

Zhao Feng had wanted to explain again, but when he met Xue An's eyes, the words died in his throat.

The woman accompanying Sun Bo was Cao Qian, a recent university graduate. Having gone to great lengths to attach herself to a powerful figure like Sun Bo, she was already incredibly arrogant. Seeing Zhao Feng freeze, she stepped forward and sneered, "Hey, I’m talking to you. If you know what’s good for you, take off the clothes."

"Take off the clothes?" A faint smile played on the corners of Xue An's mouth.

"Stop playing dumb. Didn't you hear? My husband has his eye on this outfit too. Take it off and everything will be fine, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Xue An said calmly.

"Otherwise, you won't even be able to make it out the door today," Cao Qian declared arrogantly.

"So, you are the security manager of the Longtai Group?" Xue An looked at Sun Bo, appearing thoughtful.

"That's right. Scram if you're smart, or you'll find out just how powerful the Longtai Group is!" Cao Qian said triumphantly.

Xue An sighed. "What a pity."

"Pity what?"

"A pity that someone is going to die today."

Xue An had no intention of causing trouble, but if someone provoked him, killing them in the street was merely a slight inconvenience.

"Die? Hah, that's hilarious. I don't believe..." Cao Qian never got to finish her sentence. With a single slap, Xue An sent her flying through the air, crashing into a clothing rack.

*Crash.*

A large section of the rack collapsed. When she crawled back up, her pretty face was swollen like a watermelon, and her mouth was full of blood; even her teeth had been shattered by the force of the blow.

Xue An said calmly, "I forgot to mention, I really dislike talkative women."

The shocking, earth-shattering blow left everyone stunned. Even the sales assistant who had just been despising Xue An for being a coward was now filled with shock. This man... he was formidable!

Sun Bo’s eyelids twitched with fury. "Good! You dare to cause trouble here? Kid, you’re finished. Just you wait!"

As Sun Bo pulled out his phone, Xue An simply watched with an amused expression, making no attempt to stop him.

Sun Bo hung up the phone shortly after, his cold eyes fixed on Xue An as if he were looking at a dead man.

Less than five minutes later, a chaotic sound of footsteps approached, and dozens of security guards rushed in.

"Manager Sun, what’s going on?" the lead guard asked.

Sun Bo pointed at Xue An. "This man hit my woman! Kill him!"

"Yes!"

The guards swarmed and surrounded Xue An. Many bystanders hid far away, not daring to get close. Yet, Xue An hadn't even stood up; he remained seated on the sofa, watching Sun Bo with a playful expression.

"Are your parents aware of how arrogant you are?" Xue An suddenly asked.

"Bullshit, my parents have been dead for years!"

"No wonder," Xue An nodded. "Then remember, when you go down to meet them, tell them you died because of your own foolish arrogance."

Sun Bo was incensed. "Get him! Everyone, get him and cripple him!"

But just then, a voice filled with rage cut through the air.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

The sound made Sun Bo, who had been looking so vicious, tremble. He turned around to find Qin Yu standing nearby, her face full of fury.

Sun Bo was shocked. Why was Qin Yu here? He quickly forced a smile. "Young Miss, this man is causing trouble in our mall, so I was just about to deal with him!"

Qin Yu ignored him entirely. She walked straight up to Xue An and said respectfully, "Mr. Xue, please, for my sake, do not hold these people accountable!"

This scene left the once-triumphant Sun Bo and the gossiping Zhao Feng frozen in their tracks. As for the sales assistants, they were completely dumbfounded.

So this woman was Qin Yu, the young heiress of the Longtai Group!

Then... who exactly was this man? Why was he able to command such respect from the young Miss Qin?
