Chapter 115 I Call the Shots at This Stall

Chapter 115: I'm the Boss of the Stall

"Auntie Caiyun! Don't take this the wrong way, but your granddaughter has absolutely no respect for her elders! A child from another family will always be a child from another family—what an ungrateful wretch! Back in the day, a woman like her would have been clubbed to death!"

Jiang Xianzheng's tightly clenched fists creaked. If she weren't an old woman, and if he weren't afraid of killing her with his great strength, he would've already laid hands on her.

He shouted at Liu Dani, "You, Liu Dani! What's it to you what our Jiang family does? What gives you the right to call yourselves elders? Who are you to talk about death? You're the one who deserves it most!"

Lu Caiyun glared at her angrily and said, "Back in the day, someone like you, Liu Dani, who schemes to seize others' wealth, should be executed by a thousand cuts and drowned in a pig cage! Liu Dani, let me tell you, we're not pushovers!"

"You have no right to be our elders," Jiang Yingxue's icy stare swept over Wang Ailian and Liu Dani's faces, and she suddenly gave an eerie smile. "You'd better shut up, or you'll bite your tongue off with all that nonsense you're spouting—not even a god could save you."

"Yingxue..." Lu Caiyun wanted to say something, but she swallowed her plea. Liu Dani had insulted her granddaughter and spoken disrespectfully; if she could never speak again, it would serve her right.

Lu Caiyun was usually friendly and gentle, but Jiang Yingxue was her soft spot. Anyone who bullied Jiang Yingxue deserved punishment.

Jiang Xianzheng said, "Yingxue, let Grandpa handle it. Don't dirty your hands."

Jiang Yingxue felt a warmth in her heart and smiled. "No need to dirty my hands."

Jiang Xianzheng suddenly remembered that his granddaughter knew spells. He said, "Go ahead, I've got your back!"

Driven by greed, Liu Dani was determined to leech off the Jiang family. After spewing a stream of curses, she said resentfully, "Disrespecting your elders will bring you retribution! Guangzhong is a child of our Lu family. For him to visit your stall is you being honored!"

Under the table, Jiang Yingxue formed a hand seal. With a slight flick of her finger, a spell shot toward Liu Dani. To prevent Liu Dani's family from having a chance to extort the hotel or the driver, the spell that would make her bite off her tongue and swallow it would take effect at midnight tonight. After today, Liu Dani would be mute for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at Liu Dani, the smile in her eyes not reaching their depths.

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's go home." Jiang Yingxue put the Warm Crystal thermos cup into her bag. Having such people at the table affected her family's good mood. Besides, the wedding banquet was winding down, and it was time for them to head home.

Just as they reached the entrance of the banquet hall, Lu Yonghong and his family arrived.

Lu Yonghong said, "Aunt, Uncle, leaving so soon? Come over for dinner tonight."

Lu Caiyun replied, "Thank you for the invitation, Yonghong, but we won't go. Our pets are waiting for us to come home and feed them."

Lu Yonghong asked in surprise, "Aunt, you keep pets now?"

"Yes," Lu Caiyun smiled briefly and didn't elaborate.

Dong Laiyin pulled Lu Taifeng over to stand before Lu Caiyun.

Lu Taifeng greeted warmly, "Great-aunt."

Then, Dong Laiyin said with a fawning smile, "Aunt, I see the Xuehe stall doesn't have many customers, so it must be very busy. What if Taifeng went to help out?"

Before Lu Caiyun could speak, Jiang Yingxue said, "Not a good idea."

Jiang Yingxue continued, "I am the boss of the Xuehe stall. Everything about the stall is my decision. I already have three employees; I don't need another one. I can't afford it."

Dong Laiyin's face showed displeasure. She was talking to her aunt; why was Mingzhu's daughter interrupting? So what if Mingzhu's daughter was the stall owner? She still had to listen to her aunt.

She said, "What does it matter if the positions are full? It's simple—just fire one employee and let my Taifeng take their place, right?"

Suppressing her anger, Lu Caiyun said, "Taifeng isn't suited for the stall work, and we absolutely will not fire any of our employees." This was the second relative today to suggest firing an employee to make room for their own child. How were they so confident their sons could do the job? Did they think others' jobs deserved to be taken by connections?

"Yonghong, Laiyin, this stall was built from the ground up by our Yingxue. I listen to the child."

"Just now, Liu Dani also tried to force her grandson into the stall. Her family said the same thing as you—to fire an employee."

"How can I... how can her family's fool compare to our Taifeng..." Dong Laiyin tried to continue, but Jiang Yingxue directly cut her off.

Jiang Yingxue said, "My stall does not hire close or distant relatives." Her employees could only be her Spiritual Pets. Jiang Peiyu helped out occasionally for fun; she wasn't a formal employee.

Hearing this, the expressions of Dong Laiyin's family changed. But today was Lu Taifeng's big day, and there were still many guests in the hall who hadn't left. They cared about face and wouldn't choose to make a scene now.

The bride, Hong Heyang, called Jiang Yingxue aside. Holding the Rainbow Membership Card, she said, "Cousin, could you exchange this membership card for a red one for me?" She had checked online information and asked Liao Shuiliang, who was at the table and knew the details. The Xuehe stall didn't have Rainbow Membership Cards, and the Red Membership Card was the highest-level card, requiring a recharge of 500,000 to obtain.

So if she exchanged this card for a red one now, wouldn't she own the 500,000 in the card? In a couple of days, she could disguise herself and withdraw the 500,000 from the card. Then she'd have a sum of money.

Jiang Yingxue asked, "Are you sure?"

Hong Heyang shoved the Rainbow Membership Card into Jiang Yingxue's hand and said, "I'm sure. Cousin, you're not reluctant, are you?" She watched Jiang Yingxue nervously, after all, the Red Membership Card contained 500,000.

"Alright." Jiang Yingxue took a Red Membership Card out of her bag and gave it to Hong Heyang. She then put the Rainbow Membership Card back into her space, instructing Ji Fu to delete the personal information from the card and clean it thoroughly. This way, it became a brand-new card again.

Hong Heyang held the Red Membership Card, a huge smile spreading across her face. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

500,000! This was her own money. She was going to get rich!

Jiang Yingxue didn't know why she was so happy. When the Rainbow Membership Card was given as a gift, it had a note attached that read: Card balance: 20,000. Permanent 20% discount on purchases.

The Red Membership Card was just an ordinary membership card. It had zero balance and no discounts.

Did Hong Heyang think it contained 500,000?
