Fang Miaomiao sighed helplessly and pointed at the monitor. "I don't know how ugly my death will be, but I do know that if you don't move, I can report you for harassment, and that monitor there will be evidence."
The girl with the afro hair froze, instinctively turning to look where Fang Miaomiao was pointing. The monitor in the corner was diligently working.
"You..." The afro-haired girl was clearly surprised by this tactic. Fang Miaomiao used to be like a firecracker, exploding at the slightest provocation. Now, no matter what she said, Fang Miaomiao remained unfazed and even threatened her.
However, this threat seemed as insignificant as a tiny ant to her, almost amusing. "Fang Miaomiao, my dad has invested in this mall too. Do you think the mall manager would offend me for a fake daughter who's been kicked out?"
Fang Miaomiao listened thoughtfully and nodded. "So? What do you want?"
The afro-haired girl scoffed and magnanimously said, "Seeing you just put me in a bad mood. But if you want me to let you off, it's simple. Tell a joke, or do something funny to make me laugh, and I'll let you go. How about it?"
Fang Miaomiao looked at her for a long moment before saying, "What kind of joke do you want me to tell?"
"I have to teach you this?" the afro-haired girl said disdainfully. "As expected, you're just getting worse with age. How about this: roll on the ground a few times, then bark like a dog, and I'll let you go."
She remembered that the old Fang Miaomiao was as proud as could be. Now that she finally saw Fang Miaomiao, she definitely had to crush her arrogance.
How could a commoner possibly deserve such a noble thing as pride?
"Roll on the ground a few times, then bark like a dog?" Fang Miaomiao said with interest. "Is that all?"
The afro-haired girl clearly faltered. "You?"
So, after being abroad for over a year, Fang Miaomiao's edges had been completely smoothed out? What fun was that? One should be the one to smooth out the edges to feel a sense of accomplishment.
"What about me?" Fang Miaomiao suddenly walked up to the afro-haired girl and smiled softly. "It's a shame, I don't listen. What do you do then?"
The afro-haired girl's expression changed instantly. She glared at Fang Miaomiao with displeasure. "Are you playing me? Believe it or not, I can make you regret it."
As she spoke, the afro-haired girl raised her hand to slap Fang Miaomiao.
Fang Miaomiao caught her hand accurately. The intense pain made the girl's face change instantly. "Bitch, Fang Miaomiao. You're already a commoner, why are you still so arrogant?"
"Who told you my arrogance comes from the Fang family?" Fang Miaomiao stepped forward and whispered in the girl's ear, "Did Fang Yan Huan, who sent you to bully me, not tell you that I now have the Wen family backing me?"
"You're spouting nonsense. The Wen family? You think you're worthy?" the afro-haired girl retorted without thinking.
Truly, her ignorance was terrifying. The Wen family was a force to be reckoned with. The head of the Wen Corporation was almost god-like. Even her father, the chairman of Lin's Bank, wouldn't dare to offend the Wen family, let alone its powerful head.
How dare Fang Miaomiao, a fake daughter kicked out of the Fang family, claim to have the Wen family as her backing? It was the biggest joke she had ever heard in her life.
"Oh, indeed. It's a shame, my luck is just that good. For the first twenty years, I thrived in your upper-class circles as a fake daughter. After being exposed and kicked out, I then climbed onto the great tree that is the Wen family." Fang Miaomiao said smugly. "Tsk, can't help it, my luck is just that good."
"You!"
Her triumphant demeanor made the afro-haired girl unable to control her emotions any longer. She raised her left hand and slapped fiercely at Fang Miaomiao's enviable face.
She was fast, but Fang Miaomiao was faster.
A crisp slap echoed through the air.
The afro-haired girl covered her stinging cheek, staring at Fang Miaomiao in disbelief. "You dare to hit me."
"I hit you, so what? Do I need to pick a day for it?" Fang Miaomiao flicked her hand. The action of slapping someone was cool, but it did hurt her hand a bit.
"Bitch."
The afro-haired girl was so enraged she was going mad. Just as she was about to retaliate, several young girls who had accompanied her paled and rushed forward to restrain her.
"Jiajia, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
"Yeah, Jiajia, you can't hit her." another girl whispered.
"You few, whose side are you on?"
"Fang Miaomiao is really part of the Wen family now. It's common knowledge among the upper class not long ago."
Lin Jiajia froze and looked at her companions in disbelief. "What did you just say? Say that again."
"Fang Miaomiao married into the Wen family."
And, if nothing unexpected happened, she married the mysterious head of the Wen family, whom no one saw 365 days a year.
Lin Jiajia suddenly looked at Fang Miaomiao. Before she could speak, a cute child ran out from outside.
She recognized that child.
The Young Master of the Wen family.
So, what her companions said was true?
She had been deceived.
"Mom, I'm back. There were a lot of people in the restroom, so it took me a bit longer to queue," Wen Yan'an said, then looked suspiciously at Lin Jiajia. "Who are they, Mom? Do you know them?"
Fang Miaomiao knew the little guy was trying to back her up. She rubbed his head and said with a smile, "We had some connection in the past, but not anymore."
"Fang Miaomiao."
"I'm here," Fang Miaomiao greeted her with a smile. "So, do you need anything else?"
Despite her rage, Lin Jiajia could only grit her teeth and deny, "No."
"Then, bye-bye."
Watching Fang Miaomiao's retreating back, Lin Jiajia clenched her fists tightly. When she came to her senses, people around her were occasionally casting glances her way.
She frowned slightly, cursed a few times, and turned to leave, completely unaware that people were already gossiping about her.
"Who is that woman? She's not attractive, but she has such a temper. Arguing loudly in front of everyone, it's so annoying, it ruins my shopping mood."
"Shh, speak quieter. Don't you read entertainment news? She's the daughter of Lin's Bank. Of course, she has that kind of capital."
"Lin's Bank? Is it the Lin's Bank I'm thinking of?"
Lin's Bank, as a private bank, first established itself by investing in the market, and then developed the banking industry. Its internal system was vast, with branches in every region. Lin's Bank was, apart from the three major banks, the largest.
"Nonsense, this young lady's temper is extraordinarily volatile, and she despises evil like it's a personal enemy. She's extremely high-profile. I wonder how that woman just now provoked the daughter of the Lin family."
"It's just that, I feel like the woman who left first looks a bit familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere, but I can't recall."
"Why bother with so many things? Didn't you see that the person who left wasn't afraid of anything at all?"
