A deathly silence spread throughout the store.
What? Even a follower of Miss Su was this arrogant?
The store clerks' lips twitched as they slowly backed into corners, swallowing nervously.
They huddled together, trembling.
They struggled to look at Qin Luo, who had just slapped someone.
This handsome guy... was so brutal...
The sisters Shen Yue and Shen Yun had already turned pale with fear.
They looked at the tall and intimidating Qin Luo.
Then they glanced at Su Muwan, whose face remained calm but whose cold eyes seemed to carry murderous intent.
They felt like their world was crumbling.
They had already indirectly offended Miss Su because of Qian Yu before.
Last time, Su Muwan had let the sisters off.
You could say they were lucky then.
But this time... it was hard to say.
After all, they had entered together with Qian Yu, and anyone would think they were here to shop.
And Qian Yu was the one who brought them shopping!
If it were someone else, there might have been room for negotiation.
But... this was Su Muwan!
Su Muwan was the notorious tyrant of Jiang City!
She did whatever she pleased! Anyone she killed ended up as shark food in the river!
Thinking of this, Shen Yue's eyes reddened.
She had a disabled father at home who needed her care, and her sister had just started university with her whole future ahead.
They absolutely couldn't get into trouble now!
Shen Yun had originally felt safe and impressed with Qian Yu's dominance.
But after seeing him fall silent from Qin Luo's slap,
Qian Yu's aura shattered completely.
She now had tears in her eyes, fearfully clinging to her sister.
"Sister... I'm scared..."
Shen Yun trembled.
Though Shen Yue was terrified inside, thinking of her family,
She... Shen Yue's eyes flickered, she pressed her lips together, and looked fearfully at Qin Luo who had slapped someone without hesitation.
She nervously spoke, her voice shaking: "Please... please spare us... we really didn't mean to conflict with Miss Su..."
As her words fell,
Qin Luo's expression remained unchanged as he methodically put his gloves back on.
His gaze swept over the sisters Shen Yue and Shen Yun.

Oh?
Interesting.
After identifying their fortune data, Qin Luo's lips curved into a gentle smile.
This smile made both sisters pause internally.
How... how strange...
Why did this terrifying follower suddenly give off such a warm and comforting feeling when he smiled? (Natural Charisma)
Just as they were thinking this,
Qin Luo smiled warmly and said: "Ladies, you misunderstand. Our Young Miss is actually very reasonable."
"However... being reasonable doesn't mean certain worthless people can speak disrespectfully. You two understand what I mean, right?"
With Qin Luo's gentle words,
The fear in the sisters' eyes diminished somewhat.
They looked at Qian Yu, who was covering his face, his expression twisting as Qin Luo spoke to them.
They realized something.
That's right!
They shouldn't have provoked Miss Su in the first place.
After all, she was just shopping peacefully! It was Qian Yu who had to run his mouth.
The noble Miss Su was happily shopping, but you came up wanting to snatch her items for ten times the price.
Anyone would be upset about that!
And not only did Qian Yu fail to realize this, but when he saw her follower approaching, he even mocked them about not knowing his status.
He bragged that one of his outfits could buy several of their lives.
This....
After Qin Luo's explanation,
Shen Yue and Shen Yun exchanged glances.
Were we... on the wrong side?
Understanding this, Shen Yue and Shen Yun hurriedly moved away from Qian Yu.
Su Muwan watched in amazement.
No way, Qin Luo! How do you know the art of verbal manipulation too?!
Su Muwan was shocked.
Wasn't this skill only used by those chosen ones in her previous life?
They had completely converted all her subordinates through words! Everyone had betrayed her!
But! But how did Qin Luo know this technique?
Su Muwan's eyes suddenly sparkled brightly.
Shen Yue, having understood the situation, looked apologetically at the sunny and gentle-mannered Qin Luo: "We're... we're sorry... Qian Yu originally just wanted to take us shopping."
"But we had no idea he would offend Miss Su like this."
Then,
Shen Yue looked at Qian Yu, who was covering his face with an increasingly twisted expression, and said: "Qian Yu... quickly apologize to Miss Su."
Qin Luo waved his hand: "Ah, as I said, our Young Miss is kindhearted. An apology from this waste is meaningless."
Shen Yue thought Qin Luo spoke very pleasantly, with a warm and cultured demeanor. She shook her head, insisting: "No, this is clearly Qian Yu's fault, he should apologize."
"Haha, may I ask your name, miss? I think someone as kind and well-mannered as you shouldn't be associating with this nouveau riche."
"I... I'm Shen Yue, and this is my sister Shen Yun. Actually, we're just Qian Yu's tenants. He's changed a lot recently and suddenly invited us sisters out shopping..."
"Oh? That seems very suspicious. Miss Shen, I think you might have been deceived. This person appears too arrogant and doesn't seem wealthy at all."
"I... was deceived?"
"Indeed, why would a truly wealthy person need to rent and hide their identity?"
[Rumor Spreading][Scheming Advisor] Activated!
"This..."
"Miss Shen, you're just too inexperienced in society."
"Sister, I think this handsome brother makes sense. Hasn't Qian Yu been behind on rent?"
Shen Yun suddenly seemed to have gained intelligence, looking at Qian Yu with disdain.
Then she looked at Qin Luo with slightly reddened cheeks.
So handsome...
"This..."
Shen Yue also began to lose confidence.
Su Muwan had been enjoying the show.
However... as she watched...
Su Muwan suddenly noticed something slightly off.
Her brows furrowed, her expression changed, and her pupils contracted.
Huh?
Why was Qin Luo chatting with those sisters?
Why were they laughing and talking??
Huh?? Why were they talking for so long??
What are you doing, Qin Luo!
Stop talking! I forbid you from talking anymore!!!
The more Su Muwan watched, the more unhappy she became, the more irritated she felt.
Although Qin Luo wasn't doing anything with them, just simply chatting, but for some reason,
Su Muwan... just wasn't happy about it.
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
