Chapter 20
Why was Manager Zhang so respectful to Ye Beisheng?
Ye Anyao was clearly the daughter of a rich family, while Ye Beisheng was just a country bumpkin who had been jinxed all her life. Why was Manager Zhang trying to curry favor with Ye Beisheng?
The onlookers beside him couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded him loudly, “Manager Zhang, you’ve been mistaken. That Miss Ye is a country bumpkin! Miss Ye Anyao is the one who owns this place! Ye Beisheng is the thief who was caught stealing!”
The store fell silent for a moment, and Manager Zhang suddenly frowned.
Ye Anyao heaved a sigh of relief. Manager Zhang appeared to have made a serious error. He thought that Ye Beisheng was her, which was why he was trying to curry favor with Ye Beisheng.
Now that manager Zhang knew their identities, he should ...
“A thief?”
Unexpectedly, Manager Zhang’s anger rose. “You said that Miss Ye is a thief?”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t for Miss Ye Anyao’s kindness, Ye Beisheng would have been sent to the police station long ago.
“Who is Ye Anyao? I don’t care if you’re customers here or not, but this is not a reason to slander our boss! How dare you call Miss Ye Beisheng a thief? Everything in this shop belongs to her. Why would she be caught stealing?!”
“Miss Beisheng, I’ll send a lawyer’s letter to all of these people who are trying to slander you!” Manager Zhang was obviously furious.
The rest of them had their eyes opened wide as they gasped, subconsciously looking at Ye Anyao!
Didn’t Ye Anyao just say that this shop belonged to her...?
“In fact, I’m curious as well. Where did you get the confidence to say that you are the owner of this shop?”
Ye Beisheng took a sip of tea and slowly stood up. He then took out a share transfer agreement.
“My mother left this shop for me, and there’s a document here that clearly states that this place does not belong to the Ye family. How did the shop suddenly become yours? How am I the thief?”
The share transfer agreement made Ye Anyao’s face turn pale!
She swayed and almost lost her balance. Her unwillingness and resentment were almost overflowing. “I, I …”
Manager Zhang was filled with righteous indignation, “Ye Anyao, what are you up to? First, you’ve taken over Miss Beisheng’s shop, and now you’re accusing her of being a thief?”
“You’re good at this! You’ve gained a good reputation, and you even got to take over such an established store. Such a scheming person at such a young age! You’re even worse than those green tea b*tches out there. And... Young Master Huo, you have no idea that the person next to you is a scheming b*tch! You’re blind indeed!”
Huo Yanling was stunned. He turned around and asked, “Does this place belong to Ye Beisheng? Anyao, what’s going on?”
Ye Anyao froze. She was caught off guard, but she slowly clenched her fist.
She bit her lip and took a deep breath, but her voice remained gentle.
“There are too many businesses under the Ye family, maybe mom made a mistake. So, it turns out that this place belongs to my big sister? Brother Yanling, I already have so many shops, under my name, why would I still want what belongs to my sister?”
“You know it... When I came to the Ye family, I didn’t ask for anything other than to live with mom and dad. I’ve never cared about monetary items.”
Huo Yanling nodded. “Beisheng, you’ve misunderstood her. Anyao didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you being so aggressive? Anyao is your younger sister. Can’t you talk things out??”
How was it that this became Ye Beisheng’s fault?
Ye Beisheng was just about to get someone to kick both of them out of the place when she saw the piece of jade that Huo Yanling was holding onto.
“Young Master Huo, are you interested in that?” she asked.
The onlookers turned their attention to the jade that Huo Yaoling had in his palms.
“Yes, what’s the matter?” Huo Yanling asked awkwardly.
Ye Beisheng looked at her prey as if she had been hooked and said, “It’s nothing. It looked like Young Master Huo was interested in it... If you had told me earlier, I would have delivered it to the Huo family directly. You wouldn’t have to make a trip here personally.”
Huo Yanling did not expect Ye Beisheng to be so calm. He furrowed his brows and said, “There’s no need for that. Beisheng, thank you for your kind intentions.”
“Oh! There’s no need to thank me. After all, that jade is a priceless treasure. Now that Young Master Huo has taken a fancy to it, this is a big deal! As the owner of the store, I couldn’t be happier.”
“The price of this jade is 8.62 million,” Ye Beisheng continued. “Young Master Huo, would you like to pay by card or cheque?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop instantly fell into a dead silence.
Huo Yanling suddenly had an ugly expression on his face. “Beisheng, what did you just say?”
