After he said this, the man was about to leave with the woman.

However, Jian Yiling stepped forward and blocked their way: “Apologize.”

The woman sneered before she said: “See? They’re not letting me go.”

Upon seeing this, the man’s face darkened: “What do you want? Do you want compensation?”

Then, the man took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed it to Jian Yiling: “Is this enough money to compensate for the shoes you’re wearing?”

Jian Yiling did not even look at the money handed over by the man.

Hu Jiaojiao also rushed forward and said: “We don’t want your money! We want you to apologize!”

“In your dreams!” the woman said as she rolled her eyes at Jian Yiling, Hu Jiaojiao, and Hu Jiaojiao’s mother.

“Do you know who you’re messing with?” the man said as he began to become impatient.

At this moment, the manager rushed over. Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary dispute so he was not in a hurry.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the venue, he noticed the people who were arguing twenty or so meters away from him.

And thus, the manager quickened his pace to get there.

“Hello, sorry for taking so long,” the manager said as he bowed and apologized.

“Manager, you came just in time. These people are stopping us from leaving,” the man said impatiently.

“Mr. Zou, Ms. Zou, please control your emotions.”

The manager recognized the two people in front of him. They were the Young Master and Young Lady of the Zou family in Beijing.

Upon hearing this, the woman instructed the manager: “Well, since you know who we are, hurry up and restrain these three people. We have a reservation to attend.”

Originally, she assumed that the manager would listen to her instructions once he knew of her identity. However, the manager did not listen to her. Instead, the manager bowed repeatedly to the other group of people.

“Young Lady, we didn’t know that you were here. Sorry for these inconveniences. We hope that you won’t blame us for these things.”

The manager apologized as he bowed to Jian Yiling.

XDL rented the venue for the launch event today. This venue and the entire building belonged to the Zhai family.

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Zou and Ms. Zou were rather confused.

“What are you saying? Young Lady?” Mr. Zou asked.

Manager: “Miss Jian is Master Sheng’s fiancee. Of course, she’s our Young Lady.”

Master Sheng’s fiancee!

When he heard these words, the man’s expression immediately changed: “I’ve heard that Master Sheng got engaged. But…”

But he did not know that Master Sheng’s fiancee would be such a girl…

The woman was still confused. She asked her husband: “What do you mean? What’s that?”

“Who else in Beijing dares to call himself Master Sheng other than the grandson of the Zhai family? The current building that we’re in is the property of the Zhai family!”

“Master Sheng from the Zhai family? Master Sheng’s fiancee? Her?”

The woman looked at Jian Yiling in disbelief.
