The attendants in the shop were so surprised that their mouths hung wide open. They quickly closed it and discreetly moved to the side, attempting to diminish her presence. Simultaneously, their eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Although Xia Ru claimed to be the boss’s wife, they had their suspicions that she wasn’t the official wife but possibly the boss’s mistress. However, they lacked the courage to ask Xia Ru. They didn’t anticipate Xia Ruts cousin would pose such a pointed question.

Without waiting for Wen Shu to respond, Xia Ru immediately reprimanded, “Xia Chen, it’s not your place to meddle in my affairs. Even though you’re my cousin, we’ve already grown apart. What right do you have to interfere? “Furthermore, our two families have a strained relationship. It’s common knowledge in the village.

“Wen Shu was previously married but has been divorced for a long time. I’m with him because he’s currently single.

“If he had a wife, why would I consider being a mistress?

“Xia Chen, I assumed you brought your family elders to visit me. I didn’t expect you to come here deliberately to cause trouble for me.

“Which cousin would ask such a question in front of so many people?” Xia Chen remained unmoved.

His intention with this question was evidently to publicly embarrass Xia Ru.

Given that Xia Ru had already employed tactics to harm their shop’s business, why should he care about Xia Ru’s reputation?

However, Xia Chen still had to maintain appearances in front of everyone.

He continued, “Of course, we need to clear this up publicly. Just as I’ve asked and explained in front of everyone, the truth will become known. If we don’t address this now, people will continue to speculate that you are his mistress behind his back.

“I’m also giving you an opportunity to clarify things publicly. Why would you assume the worst of me?”

Xia Chen then glanced at the attendant. “My cousin is still young and lacks experience. She’s easily misled. I hope what you’ve said is true.”

“Even though our family is small, my sister knows some influential people. They are involved in various businesses and travel extensively.

“I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with them and have picked up a few things. Judging by your accent, you’re from the south. Perhaps my sister’s friends might have the chance to meet your acquaintances, who might happen to be able to verify your true situation.”

Xia Chen said this with a smile, but Wen Shu perceived it as a veiled threat.

It essentially conveyed that his family had connections and the means to investigate if he was lying.

Wen Shu scoffed, “What Xia Ru said is the truth. I would never consider her as my mistress. She’s young, beautiful, and articulate—ideal for managing a clothing store. I opened this shop to make Xia Ru happy.”

Xia Ru’s smile grew wider. She nestled into Wen Shu’s arms and coquettishly added, “You’re just too good to me.”

Xia Chen, not wanting to witness their intimacy, forced a smile and remarked,

“It appears that you have a deep affection for my cousin. That’s wonderful.”

“My grandmother is a simple person with modest desires—money being her sole interest. If you hinder our clothing store from selling, we won’t have the means to support her financially.

“Coincidentally, we’ve already gone our separate ways. Therefore, I’ll have to request that you contribute more financially to Grandma in the future.

“And considering you mentioned that the purchase price of your shop is quite reasonable, I noticed that many items in your store would suit Grandma and my two aunts.

“Since you hold such fondness for Xia Ru, you should extend your affection to her family as well. You wouldn’t want Grandma and my two aunts to leave empty-handed, would you?”

Xia Chen’s intention was evident. He wanted Wen Shu to provide a few outfits to Li Jin, Song Yan, and Chen Lian.

Wen Shu never intended to give away any of his clothing for free. Although his clothing had a low purchase price, it didn’t mean he could give them away for free. Selling them at a reduced price would still yield some profit, while giving them away would result in none.

Moreover, judging by Li Jin and the others’ attire, they didn’t appear to be wealthy. If they were willing to spend money on someone they favored, it would be a wise investment..
