Zhuzhu had no choice but to agree. She told the shopkeeper to keep the jade bracelet properly and not sell it to anyone. She promised to return and redeem it back no matter the price. The shopkeeper gave her an agreement which she signed. Then she left the shop. With the money, she bought herself some shoes and cleaned her feet.
She still had enough for a meal or two. Her phone rang with a notification. Checking it, she realized that she had been fired from her job. Apparently, it seems someone claimed that she was rude to customers at the boutique and liked to throw her authority around. That was false but her superiors believed those lies and fired her. They even deducted her bonuses!
Qin Zhuzhu really felt like punching a hole in a wall or something. How could these people treat her like that? They will get their share of their cake soon, Zhuzhu promised darkly.
Suddenly a pink Lamborghini zoomed past and splashed muddy water on her!
"Hey, isn't that the poor heiress?" A girl wearing sunglasses said.
"Boo-hoo!" The second girl laughed and mocked Qin Zhuzhu.
"Oh my!" The third girl giggled pretentiously as the Lamborghini came to halt beside Zhuzhu. "Did I dirty your clothes? Wanna go to the thrift store to buy some new ones? They are all cheap! Ha ha ha...." The girls laughed and mocked Zhuzhu.
These girls were colleagues of Xu Jing and Xu Lan. So it was no wonder that their temperament was similar to them. Disgusting and bitchy!
Zhuzhu looked down at the clothes which she bought from Xu Jing and Xu Lan with her hard earned money. Then she looked up at those three girls, reeking with murderous intentions. When the girls saw her sharp gaze, they felt the hair stand on the back of their necks yet they still kept their heads high, taunting her.
"What? Why are you glaring at me like that? Just some cheap clothes. No need to hold a grudge against that, right gals?" The first girl taunted her and they burst into laughter.
"Yeah right. We are just helping you make your clothes a little more colorful!" The second taunted her.
"What? Gonna run and complain to that broke mommy of yours? Ha ha ha! Mommy's girl! No wonder your father abandoned your mother and you! Cheap knock-offs materials!" The first girl called her names.
Qin Zhuzhu clenched her fists. These people dared to insult her mother and even justified what that bastard father of hers did to her mother!? However angry she was, Qin Zhuzhu took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Then she approached the girls with a smile. She leaned over the driver's door and tilted her head to the right.
"Wow, sister, you're so beautiful but your mouth is filled with dirt. No wonder you can talk cheap words from your cheap mouth," Zhuzhu chuckled. Her words hit the first girl hard.
"Qin Zhuzhu, Y-you! You dare to call me cheap!?"
"Exactly. The pot calling the kettle black," Zhuzhu taunted them. They expected Zhuzhu to be so angry that she would tremble with jealousy and anger.
"Get your filthy body off my car!" The first girl snapped at her.
"Fine. Here's a little gift," Zhuzhu had a naughty smirk on her lips as she suddenly lifted her shoes and PANG!
"Qin Zhuzhu! How dare you dirty my car!? Don't you know how much my car is worth!?" The first girl roared. The other two girls joined in, supporting their friend.
There was a muddy shoe print on the pink Lamborghini's body. Zhuzhu crossed her arms and smirked boldly. Everyone was surprised by her attitude.
"Since you dirtied my car, pay up!" The first girl cried.
"That's right, pay up!" The other girls joined in.
"Pay up? I don't have a cent on my body. Hmmm...." Qin Zhuzhu pretended to think about something. Her eyes held a hint of mischief.
"How about I pay you with this?" She outstretched her palm towards the girl.
The girl looked at her hands curiously.
"What? There's nothing! Don't play the fool with me. Since you have nothing of value, why don't you return with me and become my maid? I will make sure you won't have to beg for food on the streets, right?" The first girl, Meng Lu sneered. All her friends giggled. It was obvious that they were humiliating her.
"Look closely at my palm. See the back and front? That's right! This is for you!" Qin Zhuzhu raised her hand.
PAH!
She gave a huge slap on Meng Lu's face.
Meng Lu held her swollen cheeks. The other girls stopped laughing. They didn't expect her to slap their friend so boldly!
"That's for splashing mud on me and insulting my mom. Have a good day," Zhuzhu said and glared at the other girls who immediately shut up.
"Ah! How dare you hit me!?" Meng Lu was furious.
Her friends shrank their necks and didn't dare to say anything as Zhuzhu hurriedly walked off. Was this even the Qin Zhuzhu they saw standing demurely at Xu Meng's side that day?
Meng Lu had a wicked intention. How dare she disgrace me in front of my friends? How about I hit her with the car? I'll just make her become a cripple, that's all.
However when Meng Lu wanted to move forward, she found that the keys were missing. It was no longer in place.
"Qin Zhuzhu! How dare you steal my keys!?" Meng Lu tried to locate her but she was already out of sight. Zhuzhu already knew that Meng Lu would hit her with a car after getting slapped so she secretly took the keys away.
In the end, Meng Lu ended up calling her brother who had the second set of keys. Her brother reprimanded her severely because she blocked traffic and wasted other people's time on the road. What if there was an emergency and the ambulance needed to pass through?
She looked at the divorce certificate in her hands. How was she going to tell her mother what happened?
