Ai Le looked on in surprise at the interaction between the two, feeling increasingly that something was off. Weren't these two supposed to be in a landlord-tenant relationship? Why did it seem like they were more like a couple than actual couples?
At Gu Xiaoer's call for support, within five minutes, four men in black suits had stormed the store.
As the bodyguards entered, their daunting presence immediately overwhelmed everyone.
The service staff, startled by the sight, thought, four bodyguards! Only someone of high birth could have so many attendants.
Regaining their composure with a smile, they approached, "You must be looking for Miss Lin; she's still inside trying on clothes."
The lead bodyguard sidestepped the staff member, his voice icy, "Miss Lin? We're here for Miss Gu."
While the service staff was left dumbfounded, the four burly men, with their intimidating aura fully unleashed, respectfully positioned themselves in front of Gu Xiaoer.
"Miss, what would you like us to do?"
Yikes!
Gu Xiaoer stepped back in shock, "You're here for me?"
"Mr. Han sent us. Does the miss need someone beaten up or the store smashed?" The bodyguard spoke in a monotone, his talk of beating and smashing so blatantly must be the handiwork of Han Luoli's underlings.
They didn't seem to care that there were several service staff members still there.
The service staff who had just criticized Gu Xiaoer were at a loss, thinking, What's going on? Is this like a TV drama? Can someone tell her what's the deal with this Miss Gu?
Hearing the bodyguard's words, Gu Xiaoer was also startled and quickly gestured without any dignity, "No, no, no, there's no need for violence. I was just asking, did you bring money?"
"Does the miss need cash or a card? We have five million in cash. If more is needed, it will be delivered in five minutes. The cards are with me right now."
Taken aback by the ostentatious five million at first, Gu Xiaoer relaxed once she realized it was just a bluff.
Then, pulling Ai Le along, she took an assertive stand in front of the service staff, "Can I try on clothes now?"
The service staff's face had turned from pale white to a shade of embarrassed red, their eyes darting around unsteadily, their body obviously propped up with great effort.
Clearly, they were shaken by Gu Xiaoer's recent actions.
"This... this, of course. Miss Gu, you are a valued customer, please!"
"Look how quickly I became a valued customer! It truly is a case of tailoring your attitude to the person!" Not satisfied, Ai Le stomped down, throwing back the disdainful words the service staff had said to them earlier. This kind of opportunism and looking down on others deserved to be trampled on. Who doesn't have dignity? Who doesn't need respect?
But of course, that person must first respect themselves!
Sure enough, the service staff's complexion turned pale again. Making money was one thing, but offending a big shot, especially a big shot with enforcers, couldn't possibly bode well for her future, could it?
Gu Xiaoer, with Ai Le in tow, headed towards the fitting rooms, not because she really wanted to buy the clothes.
She had already decided to try the clothes on then quickly leave after making up some excuse about them not fitting right. After all, she just wanted to get back at these people who always acted so superior, looking down on ordinary folks like them.
Ai Le turned to the four bodyguards and gave them a thumbs-up; damn, that felt good!
Yet, the bodyguards gently stopped Gu Xiaoer, "Miss, the gentleman said that if the miss wants to try on clothes, it's better to buy them and try them at home."
