“Woo, woo, woo…” A wounded heart, now as fragile as crystal glass, Mimi could no longer hold back, her emotions completely out of control, and tears began to roll out of her eyes. “What are these clothing store employees up to? Huh! Is that you?!” Gu Feiyang recognized her at a glance. Oh my goodness! He finally saw this little woman who had been making him restless all day! This hateful culprit—huh? She’s crying? Gu Feiyang grabbed her delicate shoulder, seeing her crying so heartbrokenly, he thought she had been hurt. “Are you in pain? Where did you get hurt? Let me take a look.” His tone was surprisingly gentle, even he found it unbelievable. “Woo woo… woo…” Mimi shook her head helplessly, crying and not bothering to look up at him, completely unaware of the identity of the man she had bumped into. “Is it really that painful? I’ll take you to see a doctor—” Her crying tugged at Gu Feiyang’s heart and hurt his heart; if possible, he would rather bear all her pain. Mimi anxiously reached out and grabbed his clothes’ corner, “No—no… woo woo… not…” A sharp pain surged in his heart, “Then… what happened? Why are you crying so sadly?” “No… I’m fine, really fine… this is just the fate of a poor person…” she sobbed. The fate of a poor person?
In his eyes, anything that could be solved with money was a trivial matter, and her… Gu Feiyang clenched his fist, desperately restraining the impulse to hold her delicate body in his arms and cherish her. He so wanted to comfort her, so wanted to remove all her difficulties…
“I, I’m leaving now, thank you… thank you.” Mimi’s vision was blurred by tears, looking listlessly at the ground, dejected like a stray dog. She was so sad she wanted to die, so ashamed she wanted to hide in outer space.
This was the first time in her life she deeply felt the sorrow and helplessness of being poor, and the self-respect and dignity of the poor would probably be trampled underfoot by these petty merchants forever…
She repeatedly told herself in her heart that she must prove herself, must become an excellent female assassin, she must earn a lot of money. More and more money… She wanted to wear that pink dress to see her master, she must, she must…
“Excuse me…” Mimi sobbed, pulling out an ID card from her pocket, never daring to look up at the man before her. She lacked the courage, but for her master, she was willing to abandon her dignity.
“Could, could… could you lend me twenty thousand?” Her head drooped lower and lower. “I’ll pledge my ID card to you, exchange our addresses, phone numbers, names… as long as you lend me twenty thousand…”
Gu Feiyang didn’t hesitate and pulled out a stack of bills. “Take your ID card back.”
Money… no need to pay back. “Gu Feiyang tightened his sword-like eyebrows, anxiously staring at the tear-filled small face. She began to feel his voice was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. However, she still couldn’t muster the courage to look up and meet his gaze… The look cast might be one of pity or mockery, but no matter what kind of gaze it was, she didn’t have the courage to face it. “Wuwuwu…” She stretched out her trembling little hand, slowly taking the stack of bills, and at that moment, she was moved to tears. “Please give me your contact information and your full name…” “No need.” His heart was tangled, painfully aching in a way he had never experienced before. “No… I insist, please leave me my last bit of dignity, I beg you, please give me a way to contact you.” He stared at her without blinking, slowly pulling out a business card from his pocket. She took the card, put it in her purse, and bowed to him repeatedly, “Thank you, thank you! I might take a long time to be able to pay you back, but please rest assured, one day, I will return the money with interest, I definitely will!” Gu Feiyang suppressed the reluctance and heartache churning inside him, looking at her thoughtfully. He saw her face wet with tears, and suddenly turned around, rushing into a clothing store. Through the display window, Gu Feiyang watched her frantically throwing money on the counter, followed by a credit card, and some cash from her pocket.
Then she actively stepped forward and took off the model’s dress. As if afraid it would be snatched away, she held the small dress tightly in her arms. The light pink color, paired with her snow-white skin, was so outstanding. She kept her small face lowered, crying continuously… After a while, she quickly signed and snatched the credit card, then, as if fleeing from a plague, rushed out of the store, clutching the pink dress tightly in her arms. On her tear-stained face, a charming smile now appeared, as if she had been embraced by sunshine, happiness, and hope. That smile, blooming on her tear-wet little face, brilliant and lovely like a flower, was deeply, deeply etched in his heart…
Chapter 4
Exhaling the last smoke ring, Gu Feiyang crushed the cigarette butt under his foot and then strode confidently into the boutique selling brand-name women’s clothing. Gu Feiyang’s extraordinarily handsome looks and upright figure immediately caught the female staff’s attention.
“Welcome! Big boss!”
Wenli and another female staff member, with keen eyes, noticed that the handsome Gu Feiyang was wearing a crisp suit, shiny brand-name leather shoes, and a Swiss imported diamond watch on his left wrist. They immediately approached him, offering a fawning smile and greeting him with a flattering attitude.
“Big boss, are you planning to buy a gift for your lover? We can offer suggestions!”
“This Western-style dress, is—” Gu Feiyang’s sharp gaze fell on Wenli, who had just forcefully pushed Mimi out the door, coldly interrupting her with a stern tone and questioning: “Was it you who made the girl who came in to try on clothes cry?”
Wenli was stunned for a moment, then let out a cold snort and covered her mouth with a laugh: “Heh… she can only blame herself for being too poor. People like that poor wretch aren’t welcome here, because she can’t even afford our store’s clothing. Coming in would only interfere with our business. If we don’t drive her out, we won’t be able to—”
“Call your manager to come and see me,” he narrowed his cold eyes, stopping her from continuing with a stern voice.
Gu Feiyang already clearly understood what happened to Mimi and had no need to listen to her nonsense further.
“I’m sorry, but I am the manager of this store,” Wenli laughed triumphantly, feigning a respectful slight bow.
Just the owner of a brand-name clothing store, yet putting on such airs! Gu Feiyang was burning with anger, determined to seek justice for Mimi, regardless of his original motives. He had decided to teach her a lesson.
He picked up his phone and directly dialed the CEO’s secretary’s office.
“Gu’s Multinational Group CEO Secretary’s Office, hello,” came the soft voice of a female secretary from the other end.
“Secretary Liu.”
“Yes, CEO, how can I help you?”
“I need a professional lawyer, I want to see someone within ten minutes, the address is…” After hanging up the call, Gu Feiyang took out his checkbook, wrote down a number, and pushed the check in front of Wen Li. “When my lawyer arrives, you can pack up your things.”
“What?” Wen Li was stunned. When she saw the amount on the check, she was shocked – twenty million?!
“This money belongs to that girl; she has decided to buy this store,” Gu Feiyang’s firm li
“Why should I give the store to that poor girl?!” Wen Li protested sharply.
Gu Feiyang cracked his knuckles, slowly reached into his suit, and pulled out a gold-edged business card. With a snap, the card flipped several times between his fingers before landing heavily on the counter.
“With this card and the check in your hand,” he stared at her, his low voice neither angry nor agitated.
