Fang Miaomiao sighed helplessly, pointing at the surveillance camera. "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. The surveillance there is evidence."
The girl with the afro blinked, subconsciously turning to look where Fang Miaomiao was pointing. The camera in the corner was diligently at work.
"You..." The afro-haired girl was clearly taken aback. In the past, Fang Miaomiao would explode at the slightest provocation. Now, no matter what she said, Fang Miaomiao remained unfazed and even threatened her.
However, to her, this threat was as insignificant as a tiny ant, almost laughable. "Fang Miaomiao, my dad has investments 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 sneered, magnanimously stating, "Seeing you made me a little unhappy. But if you want me to let you go, 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 replying, "What kind of joke do you want me to tell?"
"Do I have to teach you this?" the afro-haired girl said dismissively. "You're really going downhill. How about this, roll around on the ground a few times, and then bark like a dog. I'll let you go."
She knew that the Fang Miaomiao of the past was as proud as could be. Now that she finally saw Fang Miaomiao, she definitely had to curb her arrogance.
How could a commoner possibly deserve the noble quality of pride?
"Roll around on the ground a few times and bark like a dog?" Fang Miaomiao asked with interest. "Is that all?"
The afro-haired girl clearly faltered. "You?"
Had Fang Miaomiao's edges been completely smoothed out after being abroad for over a year? If so, what fun was there in that? Edges were meant to be smoothed out by oneself to feel a sense of accomplishment.
"What about me?" Fang Miaomiao suddenly walked up to the afro-haired girl, chuckling softly. "What a pity, I'm not listening. What can I do?"
The afro-haired girl's expression instantly changed, her eyes displeased as she looked at Fang Miaomiao. "Are you playing with me? Believe it or not, I'll make you regret it."
Saying this, the afro-haired girl raised her hand to slap Fang Miaomiao.
Fang Miaomiao caught her hand with unerring accuracy. The intense pain made the girl's face contort. "Bitch, Fang Miaomiao. You're just a commoner now, why are you still so arrogant?"
"Who told you my arrogance came from the Fang family?" Fang Miaomiao stepped forward and whispered in the girl's ear, "Did Fang Yanhuan, who sent you to bully me, not tell you that I now have the Wen family backing me?"
"You're talking nonsense. The Wen family behind you? You think you're worthy?" the afro-haired girl retorted without thinking.
It was truly terrifying in its ignorance. The Wen family was an entity of immense power. The head of the Wen Corporation was almost like a god. Even her father, the chairman of Lin's Bank, dared not offend the Wen family or its leaders lightly.
How could Fang Miaomiao, a fake daughter expelled from the Fang family, dare to claim the Wen family as her backer? It was truly the biggest joke she had heard in her life.
"Mmm, unfortunately, my luck is just that good. For the first twenty years, I lived a life of luxury in your upper-class circles under the guise of a fake daughter. After being exposed and kicked out, I managed to latch onto the powerful Wen family." Fang Miaomiao said smugly. "Tsk, can't be helped, my luck is just that good."
"You!"
The ostentatious display made the afro-haired girl unable to control her emotions any longer. She raised her left hand and swung it viciously towards Fang Miaomiao's enviable face.
She was fast, but Fang Miaomiao was faster.
A crisp slap echoed through the air.
The afro-haired girl clutched her slightly stinging cheek, staring at Fang Miaomiao in disbelief. "You dare to hit me."
"I hit you, so what? Do I need to pick a date?" Fang Miaomiao shook her hand. Slapping someone was a cool move, but it did hurt her hand a bit.
"Bitch."
The afro-haired girl was furious and about to retaliate when the young girls who had come with her suddenly changed their expressions and stepped 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 was known among the upper class not long ago."
Lin Jiajia froze, looking at her companion in disbelief. "What did you just say? Say that again."
"Fang Miaomiao married into the Wen family."
And, if nothing unexpected happened, it was to the mysterious and reclusive head of the Wen family, who was rarely seen throughout the year.
Lin Jiajia suddenly looked at Fang Miaomiao. Before she could speak, a cute child ran out from outside.
She recognized that child.
The little crown prince of the Wen family.
So, what her companion 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 at Lin Jiajia warily. "Who are these people, Mom? Do you know them?"
Fang Miaomiao knew the little one was trying to cover for her. She stroked his head and said with a smile, "We had some past connection, but not anymore."
"Fang Miaomiao."
"I'm here." Fang Miaomiao greeted her with a smile. "So, do you still need anything?"
Despite her rage, Lin Jiajia could only grit her teeth and deny it. "No."
"Then, bye-bye."
Watching Fang Miaomiao's retreating back, Lin Jiajia clenched her fists tightly. When she came back to her senses, she noticed people around her casting glances at her.
She frowned slightly, cursed a few times, and turned to leave, completely unaware that people behind her were already discussing her.
"Who is that woman? She's not good-looking, but she has a terrible temper. Making a scene in the main hall in front of everyone is so annoying, it ruins my shopping mood."
"Shh, speak softly. Don't you follow 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 in the market through investment and later developed into the banking industry. Its internal system was vast, with branches in every region. Lin's Bank was arguably the largest bank besides the top three.
"Nonsense, this young lady has an unusually volatile temper, hates evil, and is extremely high-profile. I wonder what that woman just did to offend the Lin family's young lady."
"It's just that I find the woman who left first a bit familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't recall."
"Why bother thinking about it? Didn't you see that the person who left wasn't afraid of anything at all?"
