The maid took the snacks and approached Helian Wei Wei. She purposefully kept her chin up as she looked down at Helian Wei Wei. "My master offers you this cake and tells you to leave this place immediately after you fill your stomach."
Helian Wei Wei threw a glimpse at the maid before she chuckled mockingly. Then, she replied in an unvarying tone, "Who gives you the right to kick me out of this place? The staff of Wei Ze World has not said a word. Who do you think you are?"
"You!" The maid did not expect Helian Wei Wei to be this insensible and headstrong. "Do you know my master's identity? How dare you speak to me like that? It seems like you're trying to look for trouble. Fine! That's good! We'll help you if you want to make a scene! Don't try to beg me when they chase you out later!"
Being challenged, Helian Wei Wei remained unaffected. She emotionlessly replied with a mere phrase, "Go away."
Enraged, the maid's face turned completely pale before she left the table and returned to her master's side grumpily.
"Miss…"
The beautifully dressed girl clutched the handkerchief in her hand as she ranted, "These country bumpkins are so uncivilized. Bring Master Wang over and let him settle this issue."
"Yes." The maid answered before she promptly headed for the backyard of Wei Ze World. While she was leaving the teahouse, she glared menacingly at Helian Wei Wei and her servant as though she was sending them a warning.
Helian Wei Wei sat on the chair lazily as her finger gently ran across the cup.
Master Wang?
Is she talking about the boy, Wang Tengyun?
She wondered when Wang Tengyun befriended this lady and her maid.
Hah...
At the backyard of Wei Ze World, Wang Tengyun was checking the spare parts for the martial arts that had just arrived. However, someone interrupted him by handing him an envelope.
The envelope was tightly sealed and Wang Tengyun could not glance a peek of the content. He opened the letter and was astounded by the golden flare.
He pulled the staff closer and asked nervously, "Where's the man who passed you this letter?" Oh, my god. Has the young master come to the provincial capital? Why do I not know anything about this?
"I think… he's having his tea at the hall…" The staff had never seen Master Wang this perturbed and anxious as he was always gentle. Before the staff could finish his sentence, Wang Tengyun dashed off to the hall.
When the staff regained his composure, Wang Tengyun was already gone.
Wang Tengyun immediately looked for a lady when he arrived at the teahouse.
"Master Wang, Miss is right there." The maid approached Wang Tengyun to lead him to the table.
Wang Tengyun mistook the maid as a newly hired servant in his young master's household. Consequently, he was surprised to see Liao Wenwen, the eldest daughter of the Liao family.
Wang Tengyun squinted his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged.
Liao Wenwen put on a coy smile, looking completely different compared to the spiteful woman who just harassed Helian Wei Wei. She gently pushed the plate full of snacks forward and said softly, "Master Wang, please have some snacks. Don't burn yourself out."
Wang Tengyun had no intention to get close to the Liao family. However, he had to be friendly to them because they were all located in the provincial capital.
But, Liao Wenwen visited Wei Ze World every day to look for him after they had merely run into each other once.
Wang Tengyun furrowed his thick brows and declined politely, "Sorry, Miss Liao, but I'm afraid that I have some other matters to attend to." Then, he intended to immediately make a move. Are you kidding me? I haven't found my young master. How can I waste my time on you?
"Master Wang!" Liao Wenwen said coquettishly.
In actual fact, she was born with a pretty face.
Her oval-shaped face was decorated with a pair of beautiful round eyes. Besides, she had always dressed attractively. Her good appearance was a result of Liao Qingtian's hard work. He spent a strenuous effort to raise a lovable daughter. His plan was to build rapport with the other influential figures in the future with the help of his daughter's pretty face.
Many masters from the noble families in the provincial capital were interested in knowing her.
But, in Liao Wenwen's opinion, she had no intention to befriend these men who were born and raised in the countryside. However, Wang Tengyun was absolutely different from them. He was raised in a reputable family. Moreover, he hailed from the Capital and was assigned here to manage the store.
Wei Ze World was unlike the other martial arts store. Only elites of the War Dragon Empire were able to manage this store.
As a result, Liao Wenwen was deeply attracted to Wang Tengyun the moment she met him.
She reckoned that Wang Tengyun would not be able to reject a lovely girl like her.
Thinking about this, her soft hands clung to Wang Tengyun's left arm. She said in a kittenish tone, "I've come here personally to look for you. You should spend some time with me."
Wang Tengyun made an inaudible grunt. I've never seen a lady this aggressive...
Chapter 509 - Trying To Chase Wei Wei Out?
Seeing that he was not moving, the maid joyfully thought that this meant good news for her young lady, she then smiled and said, "Master Wang, our young lady ordered this much tidbits because she was afraid that you would be hungry after your busy schedule. Who knew that those two bumpkins would try to act like nobles in Wei Ze World when they're actually penniless…"
Upon saying so, she lifted her chin as she looked back scornfully at Helian Wei Wei and the rest.
Meanwhile, Wang Tengyun was still glancing at the scenery outside, thinking that his young master might be standing around in a corner. However, he could not seem to find him no matter how long he looked around.
He frowned in disapproval as he heard what the maid said, "You…"
Wang Tengyun replied in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e as his head turned back to follow the maid's gaze. Just as he was about to tell them to stop acting so superior to others, he was shocked all of a sudden!
That, that, that was…Young Master and the Third Prince!
His Young Master was just smiling and looking at them with gleaming eyes…
For some reason, Wang Tengyun felt as though he was about to get into trouble and instinctively gulped.
The maid continued saying, "Master Wang, just look at the clothes they're wearing. Honestly, tsk tsk tsk…"
Wang Tengyun's face contorted in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e instantly.
Liao Wenwen did not know what he was thinking of and went as far as to think that he too, disliked their lowly presence that disrupted the ambiance of Wei Ze World. Thus, she pulled on his sleeves, "Master Wang…"
Wang Tengyun could no longer take it and after pulling her hand away, he came before Helian Wei Wei's table as if he really wanted to greet her as 'Young Master'.
Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyes and looked at him warningly.
Helian Wei Wei then took the initiative to stand up first as she said pleasantly, "My family name is Wei."
"Cough, greetings, Master Wei." Wang Tengyun maintained a poker face, but thoughts sped through his mind. When did his Young Master change her family name into Wei? The world was changing way too fast and he could not accept it at all!
The maid sneered, "Are you trying to cozy up to our Master Wang?"
Who the f*ck is yours?! My family name is Wang and your family name is Liao! Stop making me look bad in front of our Young Master! Wang Tengyun felt attacked.
Young Master, you must have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, I'm really innocent!
Helian Wei Wei completely ignored her second military advisor's gaze that was trying to vindicate himself as she stood by the side to watch the drama unfold unsympathetically.
Liao Wenwen walked toward them as well and took a quick gaze at Helian Wei Wei in disgust as she heard the maid's words. She then said with a clingy
tone, "Master Wang, sometimes we really shouldn't get too close to these kinds of people. All I wanted to do just now was to offer them some tidbits out of amiability, but not only were they ungrateful, but they also didn't even appreciate my act of kindness. Bumpkins like them who execrate the wealthy aren't worth befriending at all."
Wang Tengyun was speechless.
Bumpkins?
Are you f*cking talking about the Young Master or the Third Prince?
Come on, is there something wrong with your eyes?
Now that the Young Master is currently tanned and her clothes are plain, it's understandable that you mistook her for an impoverished person.
But couldn't you feel the Third Prince's air of nobility?
Do you think that this kind of charisma can be found in just anybody?
Id*ot!
Wang Tengyun's words were stuck in his throat and in the end, he had to swallow them, but his facial expression turned even colder!
The waiters by the side realized something was wrong.
Steward Wang seemed extremely respectful today, especially toward the customers at that table. In fact, he did not seem like the usual him at all.
Who exactly were those two people?
The waiters looked at one another, curious about the true identities of Helian Wei Wei and the others.
"Master Wang…" Liao Wenwen felt rather discomfited seeing Wang Tengyun was completely ignoring her, so she called out to him again in a soft voice.
The maid then jumped on the opportunity to help, "Master Wang, these two people were absolutely disrespectful to our lady and they even dared to look down on her. Moreover, it's a taboo of Wei Ze World to let anyone cause trouble in the shops. Since my Young Lady isn't a harsh person, we can let the matter go if they apologize, but if they refuse to, Master Wang should just drive them away from here. I've had enough of the smell of poverty."
"Drive us away?" Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly as she leaned against her chair and crossed her legs slightly, her lazy manner seemingly devilish as mischief swelled through her.
Trying to chase her, the boss away from Wei Ze World.
She had to admit, this master-servant duo really needed to be taught a lesson.
Wang Tengyun thought so too!
He only wished that he could now distance himself at least three meters away from Liao Wenwen to prove his loyalty!
Unknowingly, Liao Wenwen merely looked at Wang Tengyun as she batted her eyes at him. "Master Wang, you don't need to take it that far, it's fine as long as it seems like the matter was taken care of. It's not like I'm holding a grudge for the wrongs they committed…"
"How generous of Lady Liao." Helian Wei Wei put a finger under her chin and smiled, "As expected from the daughter of General Liao, but I wonder if anyone has told you that this is Wei Ze World, not Liao Manor. So, I advise you to stop acting as if you owned Wei Ze World because the sight of it makes me really uncomfortable. If your face is too big, just go home and take a look at yourself in the mirror, don't think that you can make yourself at home wherever you go."
"You!" Liao Wenwen clenched the handkerchief in her hands. She had always been worshipped no matter where she went and this was the first time anyone had ever talked to her that way. This peasant had to have a death wish. "Master Wang, you've seen it for yourself, this person isn't repentant at all. I…even if I'm a pushover, he can't do that!"
As she said this, Liao Wenwen purposely covered her eyes with her handkerchief as if she was about to cry.
"Guards!" Wang Tengyun finally opened his mouth, his voice cold.
Liao Wenwen looked at Helian Wei Wei in glee where her thoughts were written clearly over her face. Now you see, if you offend the Young Lady, be it in the Wei Ze World, or even the provincial capital, you're bound to get yourself in trouble!
However, it came as a surprise to her when she heard Wang Tengyun's next order, "Escort Lady Liao and the rest out of here, then inform all the stewards of Wei Ze World that Lady Liao is no longer welcome here."
"You…what did you say?" Liao Wenwen's eyes widened in that instant, and thinking that there must have been a problem with her ears, she even forgot to continue her fake sobbing as her expression looked as though she had just gotten punched in the face. It was an absolutely remarkable sight!
All the customers looked this way since Wei Ze World was known for their motto of profiting in peace and harmony.
They would never turn away any customer easily, yet now, their attitude seemed to be so intense.
Chapter 510 - A Slap In The Face Resounded In Dominance!
A lot of people did not understand.
It was Liao Wenwen's first time being surrounded and watched like this, and this made her so mad that she could not help the words flowing off her tongue, "Wang Tengyun, how dare you do this to me! Do you not fear my daddy?"
The maid standing by her side followed suit in shouting loudly, "Steward Wang, you better think it through before you speak again!"
"I've thought it through very clearly and you will either apologize to these two masters, or you will have to leave Wei Ze World once and for all!" Wang Tengyun laughed briefly. Whatever warmth and gentleness he had previously portrayed in the business field were long gone, all that was left was an expression of frostiness.
Liao Wenwen had not expected the tables to turn on her this way. In a split second, her face turned pale as she screamed, "You're making me apologize to these two bumpkins? Wang Tengyun, I guess you really do not fear my daddy finding out about this matter!"
"Your daddy?" Wang Tengyun scoffed, "General Liao? Why don't you go back and ask your daddy if he dares to battle with our Young Master? If he's brave enough to do so, I'll go to the Capital and bring our Young Master's hidden army here right now." A challenge of force? I'll crush you easily!
"You…you…" Liao Wenwen was so angry that even her fingers were trembling from fury. Realizing that Wang Tengyun was not going to back down, she shot a glare at Helian Wei Wei and growled, "Just you wait!" With that, she broke into a bawling fit as if she had just been bullied and stumbled tearfully out of the door of Wei Ze World.
One of the receptionists, a local, worriedly reminded Wang Tengyun, "Steward Wang, Miss Liao's father is…"
"I have my own ways of dealing with it," Wang Tengyun abruptly cut the receptionist short.
The receptionist shook her head and continued, "Although Liao Qingtian's official position may not be high, he is very influential in the provincial capital. You should be more mindful, Steward Wang. It really wasn't necessary to offend her like this over two customers."
Wang Tengyun could not help but think to himself. Do you even know who those two customers are? If I didn't drive out that Liao girl, we would have all lost our jobs!
The audacity of her asking their Young Master to leave in Wei Ze World!
Fortunately, he was not familiar with that Liao girl, otherwise…
Wang Tengyun sighed in relief and sought to dismiss the receptionists, "I got it, you can all go back to work…"
The receptionists answered in the affirmative before letting down the curtains.
Making sure that no one else was around, Wang Tengyun finally made his way over to the table where Helian Wei Wei and her company were seated.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "You sure are popular with the ladies, Steward Wang."
"Don't tease me, Young Master." Wang Tengyun was on the brink of tears.
Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow, "From what I saw, that young lady treated you quite well, she even decided Wei Ze World matters on your behalf. You should ask for her hand in marriage and take her home with you quickly, isn't that a good idea?"
"Young Master…" Wang Tengyun immediately straightened his posture. "There is absolutely nothing between that Liao Wenwen and I. It's only because her father Liao Qingtian has been trying to get ahold of more weapons from us that we came into contact with each other. Young Master, I've sacrificed my entire being just for our store,
you cannot possibly misunderstand me."
Helian Wei Wei's lips curved up into a smile, "You make Wei Ze World sound like a male brothel. If the business isn't satisfactory, then just alter the name list somewhat so that our stores elsewhere do not provide martial practice to the Liao family. Keep in mind that this is a rule!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Tengyun let out a breath of relief. "Young master, what are you doing in the provincial capital?" At this time, shouldn't the Young Master be in the imperial palace thinking of solutions to deal with the stewards of the Helian family?
Helian Wei Wei carelessly hummed, "I'm here as a magistrate."
"As a magistrate?" Wang Tengyun's jaw dropped slightly. As he thought about it, he remembered how lowly the position of a magistrate was and silently turned to look at Baili Jia Jue's handsome face which could never be ignored. Honestly speaking, when he stood before the Third Prince, he always felt this indescribable pressure. "What about the Third Prince?"
Helian Wei Wei smiled once again, "He's not a prince as of now, he's my private advisor."
Her boastful tone was simply too much, wasn't he just a private advisor… Wait, what did the Young Master say? Pr-private advisor?
Wang Tengyun gulped loudly. The future crown prince came to the provincial capital to be a private advisor?
Did the Retired Emperor know of this?!
"At first, I thought being an imperial officer was rather easy," Helian Wei Wei rested her chin on her palms, letting out a long sigh, "I didn't expect to be bullied wherever I go."
Wang Tengyun's mouth twitched, "You got bullied?" Young Master, is your demeanor of peerless superiority merely for show? Not to mention the fact that if you were really bullied, that person beside you could plot their death in a matter of minutes. The Third Prince's methods are easily crueler than yours!
Helian Wei Wei did not acknowledge the fact that she was brutal at all, she thought she was quite weak and small. Lazily, she said, "Wasn't your lover from earlier thinking of chasing me out?"
