The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1781 - 1780: Settling Scores

Cough cough.

The shop assistant's worldview was refreshed once again. He never expected that his boss would take the initiative to speak up.

Could it be that the boss's heart was stirred, and she had taken a liking to this unknown boy named Tang Rao?

It's better not to speculate about the boss's thoughts. If they offend anyone, these small fries would be in serious trouble.

"Beautiful lady, are you the owner of this shop?"

Tang Rao didn't hide his desire for the woman at all, staring straight at her until she felt uneasy and turned her head. Only then did he pull his gaze back and get down to business with her.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tang Rao, and I'm the Family Head of the Kao Shan Sect, Beiyuan's son-in-law. I heard from the shop assistant just now that my father-in-law has always wanted to meet you. What's the secret between you and my father-in-law?"

If she knew Tang Rao asked her out just to ask these pointless questions, the woman swore she wouldn't have come out of curiosity, just to see which family's person wanted to meet her. She, Wen Rou, was not someone to mess with.

"Tang Family Master, your question is a bit forward. I'm sorry, but I can't give you an answer. Is it because you didn't like our service attitude, or are you just here to cause trouble?"

To deal with 'Barbarians,' you have to use a bit more barbaric methods; otherwise, no matter how much you say, it's useless.

Her time isn't as cheap as Tang Rao's.

"Beautiful lady, you knew I was here to cause trouble, and yet you still came out with your shop assistant to take a look. Are you interested in me?"

Tang Rao never cared about losing face anyway. In these times, can you name anyone who thrives while caring about their reputation? No, it seems there's really no one.

Instead, people like Tang Rao, who are shameless, live better than anyone else.

"Interested in you? Pah!"

The woman glanced at Tang Rao and confirmed that she hadn't misheard before giving a strong "pah" at him. She really wanted to ask if Tang Rao could be any more shameless.

"You say I'm being too rude? I just want to talk business with you, to mutually improve each other, and you 'pah' at me like this?"

How does such an unfriendly person manage to attract customers and make her business so successful?

"So what if I 'pah' you? I just want to 'pah' you. For shameless scoundrels like you, not having the assistant throw you out is already giving you face. What more do you want?"

It seems this woman's temper is indeed something fierce.

"I don't want anything. As I said, we're both business people. I'm just here to get some business tips from you. You're already in this line of business, and I can't even tell you a dirty joke? Look at how shy you are; don't try to fool me into thinking you're some pure maiden!"

Tang Rao's hurtful words came one after another. No wonder from the moment Wen Rou first laid eyes on Tang Rao, she found him quite unlikable, and the more she looked, the more she wanted to throw him out of the shop.

What does it mean by not fooling him that she's a pure maiden? She actually was, so why would she need to fool him? Besides, whether she is or isn't a maiden is none of Tang Rao's business. Why should she have to prove this point to Tang Rao?

"Kao Shan Sect Master? The boss of Kao Shan Street, a person with such a big business, coming to my little shop for advice? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out."

Wen Rou never hides her emotions, especially in front of someone like Tang Rao, whom she considers a 'small person.' There's no need to show any good emotions towards him.

After all, showing emotions to him would be a waste.

"I'm a business person, but not a natural one. I grow and progress through learning. Shouldn't thinking like that be commended? Why are you so disdainful?"

Tang Rao, by a stroke of luck, wandered into a shop and, by another stroke of luck, discovered such an amusing woman. After shamelessly teasing her, Tang Rao felt that taunting her wasn't fun at all. Maybe talking business tips with a woman like her could actually give him some inspiration.

All over North Island, in the face of the charms of Tenderland, most entertainment places have closed down. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tang Rao wouldn't even have thought this shop would still be here.

But in fact, this shop did exist, and it existed even before Tenderland.

That it hadn't been replaced despite the emergence of Tenderland was proof enough that this shop had something worth learning from for Tang Rao.

"Hey, you're right about one thing. I am disdainful of you. Our place has nothing for you to learn from. I advise you to leave quickly. If you appear before me again, believe it or not, I'll beat you so bad you'll be picking your teeth off the ground."

Standing outside to give the two space, the shop assistant listened to their conversation. As he thought, their boss had always been fiery-tempered for years, so how could she change just because of Tang Rao?

Turns out, she wasn't soft on him individually. She was just soft at first to set the stage for the outburst she directed at Tang Rao later, and nothing more.

"Beat me?"

A mid-stage upper deity dared to challenge an upper-stage one?

Even if Tang Rao didn't have monstrous abilities or use moves that surpass his level in a fight, Wen Rou wouldn't be a match for Tang Rao.

"Even with half of my face covered, I'm better than you. What do you have to compare with me?"

Tang Rao held up his little finger to point at her and said, "When it comes to flirting, maybe you're better, but in terms of strength, you're just this."

At this moment, the little finger was particularly glaring. Wen Rou had dealt with all kinds of insults and grievances over her years in business, but she had never faced anything like this. Without a word, she picked up an item beside her and hurled it at Tang Rao.

"With those things, I'm not your match. But since it's a woman throwing things at you, do you have the nerve to throw them back?"

A real conflict involves both sides fighting. Tang Rao indeed has the nerve to strike back, but he could never emulate the woman's tactics.

Flinging objects, biting, hair-pulling?

If news got out that Tang Rao was actually like this, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?

"Miss, little beauty, you're the most formidable. I was just joking earlier. I never really intended to do anything with you. We do business with open doors, so why the hostile look like you're going to eat me?"

Tang Rao quickly backtracked, claiming he didn't want to bicker with her.

He comforted himself silently, thinking women are just capricious, yet he continued saying things against his will.

His apology was of no use whatsoever.

After exhausting everything she could throw, Wen Rou finally stopped, breathing heavily and glaring at Tang Rao: "I warn you, if you speak rudely again next time, be careful or I'll claim your life!"
