The Liu family also had considerable influence.
They were one of the top ten families, just like the Zhangs. So, although the store manager didn’t want to offend Zhang Mu, she still had to speak with a troubled expression, “Young Master Zhang, please don’t make this difficult for me. The Second Miss of the Liu family really did reserve this necklace…”
There was even a hint of pleading in her tone. But Zhang Mu, playing the role of the malicious villain, wasn’t going to let it go so easily.
He shouted, “Who reserved it? The Second Miss of the Liu family? I don’t know her!”
“Unless you can get her here to prove it, this necklace is mine! Wrap it up now!”
“This…” The store manager looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Ye Feng, who had been quietly choosing jewelry for his beloved aunt and cousin, finally noticed the commotion Zhang Mu was causing.
When he turned around and saw it was Zhang Mu, a blazing fire of anger ignited in his eyes.
Although he wasn’t entirely sure who had injured him a few days ago, he was certain Zhang Mu was involved.
So, how could Ye Feng not be filled with hatred?
And now, this despicable young master was bullying people again!
If Ye Feng didn’t teach Zhang Mu a lesson and beat him until he was crippled, it would be a disgrace to morality!
However, just as Ye Feng was about to stand up, he suddenly hesitated. He frowned, and his handsome face showed signs of inner conflict.
As the Dragon King, Ye Feng wasn’t brainless.
Unlike Zhang Mu, who acted without considering the consequences, Ye Feng had already sent people to investigate Zhang Mu thoroughly.
He planned to deal a powerful blow to Zhang Mu and the Zhang family when the time was right, showing them the price of angering the Dragon King.
But if he acted now, would that alert them and ruin his plans?
After all, in Ye Feng’s eyes, Zhang Mu was nothing more than a useless fool, not even worth his attention. His real opponent was the Zhang family behind Zhang Mu.
This entire series of strategies was crucial to his plans in the Dragon Nation.
Ye Feng wasn’t exactly a beacon of justice; if there wasn’t a beautiful woman involved, he wouldn’t usually bother with such heroic acts. He didn’t go out of his way to uphold justice for others.
While Ye Feng was still debating whether or not to step in, and the store manager was looking more troubled by the second, a girl walked into the store.
She wore a JK uniform skirt and white stockings. Her appearance was exceptionally pure and sweet—clearly a school beauty. A few classmates followed behind her.
“Store manager, has the aquamarine necklace I reserved arrived?” asked the pure-looking girl in the white stockings, Liu Shixuan.
The moment Ye Feng saw Liu Shixuan, his eyes lit up.
Such an innocent-looking girl—was this the Second Miss of the Liu family?
She seemed somewhat familiar.
She was also one of the women he had already set his sights on!
He remembered having a pen pal while he was abroad, someone he exchanged letters with several times. Ye Feng recalled that they got along very well, although he wasn’t sure why things hadn’t progressed further.
As Liu Shixuan walked in, Zhang Mu also noticed her.
After all, she was today’s female lead, the innocent campus belle, Liu Shixuan, the Second Miss of the Liu family. Now that everyone had arrived, the plot was about to officially begin.
While Zhang Mu was making his calculations, the store manager, now frightened, hurried away from his side and quickly approached Liu Shixuan.
“Miss Liu, your aquamarine necklace has arrived—it’s right here,” the store manager said as she pointed to the necklace. “There’s only one of this kind, but… this gentleman here also wants to buy it…”
After pointing at Zhang Mu, the store manager quickly lowered her head. She didn’t want to be in this situation, but she didn’t have the power to oppose either side, so she decided to let Zhang Mu and Liu Shixuan resolve it themselves.
When Liu Shixuan looked in the direction the store manager indicated, she saw Zhang Mu, his face arrogant and haughty like a spoiled young master.
Seeing his familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, Liu Shixuan was momentarily stunned. Her clear, beautiful eyes couldn’t help but reveal a complex mix of emotions: nostalgia, longing, affection, love, regret, and more.
But most of all, she felt surprised.
Thump! Thump!
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, meeting him again in this lifetime made Liu Shixuan’s heart race uncontrollably.
As she gazed at Zhang Mu, her breathing gradually became rapid. She had really, truly seen him again!
