Chapter 143: Not Freeing
“Oh yeah? I am just checking up the accounts of my mother’s dowries, why is Mrs. Gu involved in this? Are you saying that Mrs. Gu is trying to take possession of my mother’s dowries?” Gu Chaoyan said without showing courtesy.
The chaos inside had drawn the attention of some locals outside.
Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, everyone started to chit chat among themselves.
The garment store had not had a great reputation, but those ordinary people did not dare to do anything knowing that it belonged to Mrs. Gu. However, when they heard such a piece of shocking news, they started to gossip.
“True, dowries do not belong to the husband, but to the child!”
“I heard that Mrs. Gu is not the legal wife, but the concubine.”
“Do you think that she has taken possession of the dowries!”
The bystanders started to chat and spread the gossip.
Some common people who had once had problems with the garment store started the gossip wildly.
The manager had no idea what to do.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in satisfaction. Those common people were helping! Seeing the scene, Gu Chaoyan turned to the common people outside the store and said, “Everyone, this store is one of my mother’ s dowries, but my mother pa.s.sed away when I was little, so it has been Auntie who is taking care of it during the past few years. I was too young to do anything back then, but now I am here checking the stores and realizing that they are doing totally nasty business!”
“...”
“I might not be that experienced, but I do understand that nasty business is terrible. We have to be honest when we are doing business, right?!”
“...”
“So from today on, I am going to manage the store personally. If any of you have ever bought bad-quality garments from the store, come with your stuff and we will pay you back with double compensation. Is that alright?”
Double compensation!!
Everyone got excited. They raised their hands and said, “It is great!!”
“We are getting the garments!”
As they were speaking, many people had run away, fearing that those salespersons would not stick to the promise after the miss was gone.
Gu Chaoyan was very satisfied with what happened.
The manager got so annoyed that his eyes turned red. “Mrs. Gu is never going to let you do this!”
“If you are not bringing us the accounts, my girl will not let you off either, and she can do it before your men do anything to me.” Gu Chaoyan looked at Sword One.
Sword One instantly rushed up and took control of the manager.
The manager was in so much pain that he said with clenched teeth. “How dare you do such a thing to me. Do you know who I am? I am Mrs. Gu’s cousin!”
“Mrs. Gu’s cousin!” Gu Chaoyan asked with eyes upon him.
“Yes!” The manager raised his chin, a.s.suming that Gu Chaoyan was afraid.
Hahaha...
Gu Chaoyan laughed. “So what? This store is my mother’s dowry. Is Mrs. Gu going to take possession of it? If that is her attention, let’s meet at the court.”
“...”
“You know pretty well what the law is like here, right?”
“If you ever dare to accuse your stepmother of taking the possession, you are never going to marry anyone!” The manager said fearlessly.
He had not kept a clear mind about what was happening when he was. .h.i.t. Now some ideas started to gush in.
He did not need to fear a thing.
This girl was the Lady Ugly. Her mother died ages ago and no one cared about her in the mansion. Why should he ever be scared?
The manager was just thinking about these confidently, when the next second... Noise arose suddenly in the store.
The common people who had once bought terrible garments from the store were rus.h.i.+ng in to get the compensation.
