Chapter 16: They Fought

a beating before being locked up.""Who dares!" Shen Ningran's voice was crisp, "I'm here to treat your master. If you arrest me, aren't you afraid that he won't be able to explain when he wakes up"The...The waiter at the restaurant hesitated and looked towards Shen Ningran and her companions.

All the guests here are either very rich or very important. They've never encountered anyone skipping out on their bill.

They eyed Shen Ningran and Jiang Li's attire, then glanced at Guan Xin Yue and the others.

Guan Xinyue is a regular here, so the waiters also know her identity.

But Shen Ningran was still coming for the first time, and with this understated outfit, the waiter subconsciously stood by Guan Xin Yue and her friends' side.

"Two young ladies, please pay first. We don't offer credit here."

The waiter's words seemed to imply that they had already assumed they wouldn't be able to pay.

Jiang Li was so angry she wanted to curse, but Shen Ningran pulled her back.

Shen Jiao Xue sneered, “You two aren’t rich Just pay up. Shen Ning Ran, I'll look out for you as your sister, or you should ask me to help you. It's not worth emptying your entire fortune just for a meal.”

As soon as her voice fell, a man in a suit rushed past from the corridor.

The waiter immediately stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Manager."

Seeing that even the manager had come out, Shen Jiaoxue's eyes darted around before she looked at the manager and said, "I'm sorry, manager. We didn't mean to cause a scene here."

After finishing her words, Shen Jiaxue took out a card from her bag and handed it to the manager. "My sister's meal, I'll pay for it. After all, she's my sister, and I really don't want to see her end up in such a humiliating situation."

Shen Jiao Xue held her head high, looking down at Shen Ning Ran as if she were bestowing a favor.

The manager glanced at Shen Jiao Xue with strange eyes, then brushed past her, rushing to Shen Ning Ran's face.

Shen Jiao Xue's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

The manager walked up to Shen Ningran, bowing respectfully and saying, "Miss Shen, I'm truly sorry. We didn't know you were coming to the store today. Please forgive us for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Shen Ningran looked at the manager with confusion.

Shen Jiao Xue was stunned, watching as her manager, who usually ignored her, treated Shen Ning Ran with utmost respect. Her face flushed with anger, she asked, "What do you mean"

The manager glanced at Shen Jiao Xue and the others, his attitude hardened considerably. "Several ladies, Miss Shen is a friend of our shop owner, so she doesn't need to pay for her meal."

"Are you kidding me Her" Shen Jiao Xue looked at her with disdain.

The owner of Jinxuan Pavilion is a mystery, and to this day no one knows who they are. However, it can be known that the mysterious owner was able to open such a top-notch restaurant in the most luxurious area of the Imperial Capital, which must have considerable wealth and is a big shot in the industry.

How could Shen Ningran possibly hook up with such a big shot

Guan Xinyue took another look at Shen Ningran, "Manager, are you sure that the friend of your boss is this Shen Ningran, Ms. Shen"

"Yes, it's Shen Ningran, Miss Shen." The manager told them firmly.

Just as Shen Ningran was puzzled, a message popped up on her phone.

Shen Ningran immediately understood.

The manager respectfully said, "Miss Shen, I see you haven't finished eating. We have arranged the most prestigious private room for you here. Please follow me."

Shen Ningran nodded. "Okay."

"As for the two of you ladies, you have already been blacklisted by our shop and will no longer be welcome here. " The manager looked at the two women with a formal attitude and continued, "Please leave."

Although it was phrased as "please," everyone could tell that it was really an order to leave.

Guan Xinyue and Shen Jiaoxue's faces were ashen.

Shen Jiao Xue unwillingly questioned, "Manager, do you know what you're doing Do you know who she is She's the eldest daughter of the Guan family, one of the four major families in the imperial capital. If we offend her, believe me, she can have us shut down in minutes."

The manager gave a cold smile. "If you have that ability, go ahead."

Shen Jiaoxue, seeing the manager's attitude, was eager to regain some face. She coldly snorted and said in a loud voice, "Shen Ningran, after five years, you've really become quite despicable. Were you taken in by this restaurant's owner Otherwise, how could someone like you possibly become friends with the restaurant's owner"

The word "friend," she bit it with a heavy emphasis, dripping with sarcasm.

Shen Ningran's face turned cold. "You are the dirty one, so everything you see is dirty, isn't it"

"Shen Ningran, say it again, who is dirty Who did you call dirty"

Shen Jiao Xue pointed with her hand and walked forward, Chiang Li pushed her away. “Didn’t you understand what I said”

Shen Jiao Xue was exasperated. Out of shame and anger, she picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't notice and got a face full of warm water.

"Lily!"

Shen Ningran frowned, her eyes filled with coldness. She hurriedly picked up the towel and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li casually wiped her face, which was constantly dripping with water. She sneered and stared at Shen Jiao Xue, "This was your first move."

After finishing her words, Jiang Li tossed the towel on the table and strode towards Shen Jiao Xue in three steps and two steps. She grabbed her hair fiercely, "You wretched woman, I've really tolerated you for far too long, shameless thing."

"Jiang Li, you're looking for death." Shen Jiao Xue raised her hand and slapped Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li, at a height of 1.7 meters, completely dwarfed the petite Shen Jiao Xue. She sneered disdainfully, "You really want to try and fight me"

Shen Jiaoxue grasped wildly in the air with both hands, "Let me go, Jiang Li, let me go..."

"Your mouth is so dirty, let me wash it for you."

Seeing this, Guan Xinyue immediately stepped forward to help Shen Jiaoxue, and Shen Ningran also stepped forward.

Jiang Li was very strong. He grabbed Shen Jiao Xue and slapped her face twice first.

"Dare you yell at me again I'll tear you apart."

Shen Jiao Xue was like a lunatic, screaming and tearing wildly, “Jiang Li let me go! Let me go!”

In the midst of the chaos, Guan Xin Yue saw a familiar figure walking in from outside.

Her eyes rolled, she reached out to pull Shen Ningran, her expression becoming pitifully weak, "Miss Shen, please don't hit me anymore, it's all my fault. I should have gone to die with that child back then. Please don't hit me."

Shen Ningran frowned, facing Guan Xin Yue's sudden change of expression, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes, she was about to shake off Guan Xin Yue's hand.

Suddenly, she screamed.

With a "boom," Guan Xin Yue's entire body was flung outwards.

That's just like being pushed by Shen Ningran.

Jiang Li brushed away Shen Jiao Xue and patted his hands.

Two women fell to the ground simultaneously. Shen Jiaoxue looked at Guan Xinyue, who was disheveled and pitiful, but Guan Xinyue was already weeping with tears streaming down her face, looking pitifully at Shen Ningran, "Miss Shen, all my mistakes are mine. If you want to hit me, just hit me..."

"What are you doing" a grim voice echoed.t was as if she saw a monster.The two people in front saw the two people behind start fighting again, and they were instantly heartbroken.I don't know how long this strange atmosphere lasted, but Bo J...
