Volume 2 Initial Ripples Chapter 55: The Purpose of Night Aunt

  Yun Qingran's face was filled with pain as he reluctantly followed. Yun Qingran wasn't fond of shopping, and Ye Ningxuan even less so; their rare outings were always dates, and they only bought clothes at a fixed store every season to check out the new styles, purchasing what they liked. The same went for shoes.

  As he walked, Yun Qing suddenly felt himself floating. He turned around and wrapped his arms around Ye Ningxuan's neck: "Aren't you tired?" After saying that, he smiled to himself, now even if he were carrying a hundred-pound boulder and running for a whole day, he probably wouldn't break a sweat.

  "With you by my side, I'm not tired." Ye Ningxuan smiled and gently bumped his forehead against Yun Qingran's, responding in a way that was both unexpected yet expected.

  "I really don't know what's so fun about shopping, it's even more tiring than a fight." Yun Qingran muttered in a voice that only Ye Ningxuan could hear.

  Ye Ningxuan just smiled and didn't speak. The two of them followed behind the three people, whispering to each other, chatting about everything under the sun.

  Shen Ji only made clothes, and children's clothing is currently being prepared and has not been released yet. As for shoes, there are no plans, so Yun Qingran's shoes can only be bought outside. Before going to school, she wore cloth shoes and boots made by her grandmother at home using cotton fabric, which were beautiful in style and looked good. It was okay to wear them occasionally when going out, but it wasn't suitable for school, so Yun Qingran still bought two pairs of sandals from a shoe-selling counter to wear temporarily.

  As they left the mall, Ye Ningxuan and Yun Qingran both let out a silent sigh of relief. They couldn't help but exclaim: It was too terrifying! Too terrifying! The three energetic female superheroes had taken them on a wild ride, circling every floor at least three times. Finally, there was only one last stop before they could head home.

  The store of Shén Jì is not in the mall, but on the first and second floors of a separate high-rise building next to the mall. This was also the flagship store that Yún Qīng Rán had visited once before.

  Yun Xi and the other two went to park their car, while Ye Ning Xuan and Yun Qing Ran were still standing outside the door when they heard a sharp female voice loudly scolding. Exchanging a glance, the two quietly walked in, and from afar, they saw the owner of the female voice grabbing onto the collar of a greeter, spewing out all sorts of profanities without repetition.

  The store manager, Xiao Qin, rushed down at the first sound of commotion. He was frowning and saying something with a mixture of patience and annoyance. Suddenly, he spotted Yun Qingran standing in the crowd, and his eyes flashed with excitement for an instant before turning hesitant.

  Before figuring out the cause of things, Yun Qingran didn't want to go back, otherwise it would be easy to fall into a passive situation. Taking advantage of Manager Qin looking over, Yun Qingran used her eyes to gesture for someone to come over and tell her about the situation. Manager Qin pulled over another service staff member next to her and had her come over, and in just a few words, she clearly explained the current situation.

  It turned out that the whole thing was because they saw a woman, Li Qiao, who had seen a customer go upstairs to buy a dress and come down wearing it. She didn't have a VIP card and wanted to go up to the second floor to buy the same dress but was stopped by the doorman, so she made a scene there. Now that the situation has been clarified, things need to be resolved, otherwise it will only affect their own business. Moreover, for that woman, she didn't mind adding insult to injury, let alone this wasn't even enough. So Yun Qingran walked up directly, and Ye Ningxuan followed closely behind.

  Liáng Míng Yuè had seen her at Yún Qīng Rán's birthday party, and the memory of that little girl who shone brighter than a princess was still deeply etched in her mind. Now, recognizing her at first glance, she felt even more envious and resentful after learning that Shén Jì was from her family. As soon as she saw her, she pounced over, her long fingernails clawing towards her face. Why did everyone like her? Why were all eyes on her? Why did she have to be so beautiful? She was just a child the Liáng family didn't want. It should be her who was the most beautiful and lovable; let's see if anyone would still like her after ruining her face.

  Ye Ningxuan dodged by taking a step to the side while holding Yun Qingran, letting Liang Mingyue fall to the ground, without even giving her a glance.

  Liáng Míng Yuè looked at the handsome boy who was holding Yún Qīng Rán so tightly, and her jealousy burned even more fiercely. Without thinking, she pounced on him again.

  "Hmph." Ye Ningxuan looked at Liang Mingyue with no emotion in his eyes, exuding an air of superiority, and the icy chill in his gaze finally made her sober up, trembling as she stared at him. That one glance had almost scared her to death.

  Yun Qingran patted Ye Ningxuan's hand, indicating for her to let go. Liang Mingxing had been staring at Yun Qingran, and just as Liang Mingyue was about to rush over, he was preparing to block the way himself. However, before he could take a step, that boy who looked unlike an ordinary person, with his handsome face like a phantom, had already hugged Yun Qingran and left the scene. For some reason, while feeling happy that she was safe, there was also a hint of loss in his heart. Perhaps it was because he saw how powerful that boy was, and compared to him, himself seemed so weak and small.

  Yun Qingran saw Liang Mingxing standing beside her, nodded and greeted him as a way of asking how he was doing. Probably among the Liang family members, only he didn't make her feel disgusted.

  "The miracle clearly stipulated at the time of opening that only those holding a VIP card can go upstairs. This lady wanted to force her way, breaking the rules of the Miracle, and after being intercepted, she even scolded the greeter, insulting his character and injuring him. The Miracle does not welcome customers with such poor moral quality, and has decided to list this lady as a refused customer, reserving the right to sue her for insult and attempted injury." Yun Qingran's cold voice, filled with arrogance and chill, publicly announced the Miracle's decision.

  "What's the reason I'm not allowed to come in and buy things?" Li Qiao pushed away the welcoming hand, turned around and walked towards Yun Qingran, wanting to grab her. Ye Ningxuan made preparations to take action, but Yun Qingran pressed down his hand. "Manager Qin, please call security. If she comes again to cause trouble, report it to the police."

  "Alright, Miss Yun." Manager Qin nodded and made a hand gesture to the security guard who had been waiting on the side. Before Li Qiao could bump into Yun Qingran, he grabbed her and dragged her out while she struggled nonstop.

  "Two little friends, please leave." A security guard stepped forward and escorted Liang Mingyue and Liang Mingxing out. Before leaving, both of them took a deep look at Yun Qingran, with Liang Mingyue's eyes full of hatred, while Liang Mingxing's gaze was complex and incomprehensible.

  Yun Xi and the three others had already dispersed after parking their cars, only learning about the situation from Manager Qin.

  "Xiao Ranran is really impressive, with just a few moves she threw that person out and even got the people around her to cheer." Ye Qingyu gazed at Yun Qingran with sparkling eyes, her hands supporting her cheeks.

  Yun Qingran could only pretend she hadn't seen it. As for this night, Auntie was really defeated.

  Yun pretended not to hear her and continued talking with Yun Xi and Shen Qin.

  "Clear rain, did Sister Qin say you came over to open a hotel?" Yun Xi suddenly asked as the three of them chatted. Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, Yun Qingran also perked up her ears, but the movements in her hands and the expression on her face didn't change, except for Ye Ningxuan, no one could tell she was listening.

  "Yes! This time I came over mainly for this matter." Ye Qingyu nodded: "The store in the capital city has developed well, made a name for itself, and has received good reviews within the industry. After discussion, everyone decided to expand outward. Originally, only S City and G Province were temporarily set, but from the development of the restaurant on this side, C City also has great potential."

  Yun Qingran glanced at Ye Ningxuan from time to time while talking, a faint smile rising on the corner of her mouth as she looked at Ye Ningxuan.

  Ye Ningxuan smiled helplessly, rubbed Yun Qingran's head, and whispered in her ear: "In '86, I went to speculate on the stock market and made a lot of money. Later, my aunt didn't want to listen to our family's politics, she wanted to do business, but they were at odds with each other. In the end, Grandpa agreed to give her three years' time, if she couldn't make it, she would follow the family's arrangement."

  "My aunt actually has a talent for business, but unfortunately lacks the initial capital. To achieve that in three years is still very difficult. I knew this and quietly found my aunt to cooperate with her, telling her I would provide funding and direction, but it had to be kept secret from others. She was responsible for managing the company, with 51% of the shares belonging to her and 49% to me. For major decisions, she could consult me, otherwise, I wouldn't interfere."
