“That’s incredible. Only these two are genuine, but you could actually tell. Other than me, no one else knows about this.” Shopkeeper Wu exclaimed repeatedly as he looked at Leng Rongrong with admiration in his eyes.
Leng Rongrong accepted the two items with joy.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Leng Rongrong as if he wanted to say something.
“What’s wrong? Shopkeeper Wu, if you have something to say, please speak.” Leng Rongrong felt that Shopkeeper Wu seemed to have something to say, but he seemed to be at a loss.
“It’s just that there will be an antique auction soon. You have such good taste, and with my insight, I’m sure we won’t lose out if we can bid for something together.”
“I just don’t know if you are willing to do it.”
After Shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he looked at Leng Rongrong expectantly.
“An antique auction? That seems to be fun. Sure, let’s do it!” Leng Rongrong agreed readily.
When Shopkeeper Wu heard Leng Rongrong’s words, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. His mood turned good.
This time, he probably wouldn’t lose to his nemesis.
With Leng Rongrong’s sharp eyes, there would definitely be no problem.
After the three of them chatted for a while, they proceeded to leave the shop. However, when they opened the door, Leng Rongrong and Mo Linyuan were blocked.
There was a group of people at the entrance. The crowd held up banners and stared at Leng Rongrong and Mo Linyuan.
The surrounding tourists had been scared by this group of people and had retreated to the surrounding area. However, everyone seemed to be very interested, so they did not disperse and gathered around to watch the show.
“Miss Rongrong, we request that you give us more money.”
One of the leaders stood up and looked at Leng Rongrong with a strong expression. “The money you gave us is not enough to buy our shop. The value of each shop here is much higher than the price we sold you before. We hope that you can return the shop to us. Otherwise, give us more money to make up for the difference.”
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
For a moment, she was so infuriated that she didn’t know what to say.
When she bought this shop, she had made it clear to this group of people that no matter what happened in the future, it had nothing to do with them.
But those words were said by this group of people…
The previous owners felt that the business here was too bad before, and they were afraid that Leng Rongrong would not be able to make the business better if she bought it, so they had asked for a large sum.
They had said such words and made such a request.
They then stipulated that Leng Rongrong should not look for them in the future regardless of whether she made a loss or earned a profit.
Since they had already sold it, it was no longer their shop.
But now?
The previous owners felt that they had made a loss, so they came back to ask for additional compensation?!
How could they be so shameless and not use their minds?
It wasn’t even a question why Fengyun Street remained desolate under the hands of the previous shop owners.
“Didn’t you agree that after this street fell into my hands, it had nothing to do with you regardless of the outcome? Do you treat your words as fart?”
Leng Rongrong stood at the top of the steps. Her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at everyone below.
The surrounding tourists were all discussing in low voices.
Mo Linyuan was standing beside Leng Rongrong. He saw that Leng Rongrong seemed to be able to handle it on her own, so he did not interfere. He just stood beside her with his hands in his pockets. Mo Linyuan looked immensely handsome.
“We did say that, but how would we know that the business of the shops here would be exceptionally profitable?”
“If we had known, would we have sold the shops to you?”
“Exactly. Don’t take advantage of us.”
“You either pay or return our shop.”
A group of people shouted in an aggressive manner.
They had all come here after discussing it. After all, they knew that the person who bought the shops was a young lady. She seemed to be easy to bully.
Generally, little girls were timid and afraid of trouble. After a few disturbances, they might be willing to refund the money.
“Am I crazy? I’ve already signed the contract in plain and clear terms. The shop already belongs to me. Why should I pay you back? Also, the business here is good, but does it have anything to do with you? Why don’t you guys think about it? Why is there no business on the street when the shop is in your hands? Why is there business in my hands?”
Leng Rongrong crossed her arms in front of her chest. Although her body was small and she looked pure like a little girl, the aura on her body was not weak at all, and her words were also sonorous and powerful.
“Aren’t you guys just jealous because the business here is doing better? When business wasn’t good back then, you were afraid that I would return the shop to you when you sold it. Now that business is good, you want to take it back. Is there such a good thing in the world?”
The group of people below fell silent for a moment.
Then, someone shouted, “But no matter what, this is our shop. Isn’t it normal for us to feel we’re losing money? It’s only been a short while. The shop here still has a high value. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to do it well. So, you should compensate us!”
“That’s right. If you have a conscience, you should compensate us. Otherwise, we can return the money to you, and you can return the shop to us!”
The group of shameless people chattered and made all kinds of unreasonable requests.
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
“I’m sorry. I don’t have a conscience.”
The people around them were all amused.
The group of people was obviously stunned for a moment. They did not expect Leng Rongrong to say the words so righteously.
The previous owners were shameless, but wasn’t she even more shameless than them?
Didn’t they say that young girls were all thin-skinned?
But, this little girl was very thick-skinned!
“Do you truly want to get your shops back? It’s not that I don’t want to sell them. I’m a very reasonable person.”
Leng Rongrong blinked at everyone and spoke.
“So, are you willing to return it to us?”
Everyone was caught off guard and a little happy.
“I can return it to you. Of course, I’ll return it to you at the current market price. This price is at least five times more than when you sold it to me.”
Leng Rongrong said, “Based on the current situation at Fengyun Street, you’ll definitely make a profit if you take back your shop.”
“You’re extorting!”
“Five times! Are you crazy?”
“That’s right. It’s more like you’re returning it at the original price to us!”
“Why should I return it to you at the original price? We’ve already settled the transaction and the contract also states that both parties can’t go back on their words. The shop is mine now, not yours. Even if I want to sell it for more, I have the final say.”
Leng Rongrong’s red lips curved into a devilish and mischievous smile. A few seconds later, Leng Rongrong’s smile disappeared, and her small face became serious and cold. “Don’t joke with me here. Do you think I’m easy to bully just because I’m young? I’m sorry, you’ve bullied the wrong person!”
