I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 68

The salesperson stared at Shi Wei in disbelief. “Miss, you’re wrong. Mr. Fu took the pair of shoes first. You haven’t paid for it yet so it’s fair that I let him have them. Plus, no matter who you are, you’re my customer like all others. Do I have to give you special treatment because you’re a high-ranking official?”

“You…” The salesperson’s retort left Shi Wei speechless. As her family always backed her up no one dared to humiliate her. Her fans treated her like a princess but how dare this salesperson talk to her that way? “I want to meet your store manager… No, the general manager. I can’t believe you’re stopping me from buying a pair of shoes!”

Shi Wei was so furious she almost cursed out loud. Anna and Su Su were going to speak up but the salesperson started laughing in disbelief. “Fine, I’ll get my general manager now. Please wait for a moment!”

The salesperson glanced at Fu Chengyan. The man nodded at her, agreeing with her actions.

The man walked to Shi Nuan with a smile on his face, ignoring Shi Wei and the others. He swept his gaze over the shoes and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Nuan hesitated. “Mr. Fu, do I still need to try them on?”

It wasn’t a good idea to continue this saga. Shi Nuan didn’t want people to stare at them. She shot a look at Fu Chengyan and said, “Forget it. There’s no need to stoop to their level. Plus, these high heels—”

“Ms. Shi, please try them on now!”

Shi Nuan’s sentence was cut off by Fu Chengyan. She glared at him when Shi Wei and her friends weren’t noticing. She was asking him in silence, “What are you doing?”

All Fu Chengyan did was smile reassuringly at Shi Nuan, assuring her not to worry.

Since Fu Chengyan had insisted, Shi Nuan said nothing and sat back down to try the high heels on.

The high heels were really gorgeous and furthermore, they had already captured Shi Nuan’s heart at first glance. However, although she liked the high heels, that didn’t mean she’d buy it. Shi Nuan put them on carefully and stood up. But she lost her balance and nearly fell back down.

Luckily, Fu Chengyan reacted swiftly. He pulled Shi Nuan’s hand and wrapped another arm around her waist to support her.

Shi Nuan stared at Fu Chengyan in shock and remained frozen still for a second. She blinked at Fu Chengyan. Her hands were still grabbing onto his shoulders. Shi Nuan blinked at Fu Chengyan innocently once again.

She parted her lips to say something but another voice rang out from Shi Wei’s direction. It was Anna. “The cheek of it, jumping on every man she sees!”

Shi Nuan blushed when she realized the awkward position she was in with Fu Chengyan. She pushed him away gently. “Thank you!”

“Are you alright?” Fu Chengyan frowned slightly. When Shi Nuan fell into his arms, her sweet body fragrance assaulted his nose, making him temporarily spellbound.

But somebody ruined the moment. Fu Chengyan turned to glare at Anna with displeasure. When his sharp gaze swept over Anna, a chill crept up the woman’s spine. She trembled involuntarily, certain that she had offended Fu Chengyan.

Shi Nuan released her grip on Fu Chengyan and smiled. “I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Fu.” She looked down at the high heels that she was wearing. “Mr. Fu, the high heels are really pretty!”

“Yes.”

Shi Nuan’s feet attracted Fu Chengyan too. This was the first time he had ever considered a woman’s feet to be beautiful.

He didn’t have a foot fetish but Shi Nuan’s feet were very much to his liking. A smile lit up the man’s face. “Yes.” He initially thought the pair of shoes would suit Shi Nuan well but now he couldn’t take his eyes off her after she had put them on. “Ms. Shi, you look stunning!”

Shi Nuan’s face flushed red. “Erm, good that you like them.” She sat back down to take them off.

Right then, the general manager came after receiving a call from the salesperson. He walked towards them together with the store manager, wondering who was the person that was causing trouble and demanded to see him. When the general manager walked in, his eyes widened when he spotted Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan was kneeling and helping a woman take off her shoes! He was shocked to see this gentle side of Fu Chengyan.

The general manager was also surprised because Fu Chengyan showed up personally. Was he doing his rounds today?

“Mr. Fu, w-why are you here?”

Mr. Fu?

Anna and Su Su met each other’s gaze. They were guessing which relative he was from the Fu clan. Never in their wildest dreams did they guessed that he was Fu Chengyan! Anna’s face paled. She went up to Shi Wei and demanded, “Why didn’t you tell us that he is Mr. Fu?”

Shi Wei was visibly upset, especially when she saw Fu Chengyan kneeling down to take off the high heels for Shi Nuan. Why was she so lucky? “What? I told you his surname is Fu.”

“Then how dare you ask the general manager to come?” Su Su was furious. “Do you know who’s Fu Chengyan?”

“He’s one of the Fu people!” Shi Wei had lost her cool right now. The only thing on her mind was, What did the whore do to get that man treat her so nicely? ”I always get what I want. I must get that pair of high heels too.”

“You… I think you should forget about it.” Anna knew it was impossible. “This shopping mall belongs to the Fu clan.”

“What?” Shi Wei was shocked. “Are you joking?”

Su Su and Anna were rendered speechless. “You’re from the Shi family and Fu Xicheng is your fiancé. Don’t you know about the Fu clan?” It was obvious Shi Wei was really ignorant about that.

Yes, Shi Wei knew nothing about the Fu clan. Back then, the only thing she wanted to do was to snatch everything Shi Nuan liked away from her. Everything from her toys, clothes, shoes, all up to Fu Xicheng. Of course she knew nothing about the Fu clan.

Fu Chengyan raised his head and shot the general manager a look. “Those ladies want to see you.” There was a hint of amusement in his voice. “They want to file a complaint. If you can’t handle it well, I don’t think you are well-suited for this job anymore.”

Fu Chengyan’s words terrified the general manager. He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and turned to the salesperson. Through the phone call, he understood that the gist of the entire situation was caused by a pair of high heels.

The general manager glanced at Shi Nuan who was behind Fu Chengyan. When he noticed the pair of high heels in Shi Nuan’s hands, he immediately understood what had happened. The general manager was a smart person. He looked at Fu Chengyan and gained his boss’ approval before walking up to Shi Wei. “Hello, miss. Do you want to file a complaint?”

Shi Wei’s mind was in a blank. She didn’t know what to reply.

Although she was clueless about business matters, she still remembered what had happened a few days ago. That day, Fu Xicheng was in a bad mood. He mentioned something about Fucheng’s orders being rejected, and how they failed to sell their products in the shopping mall. Fucheng was in a mess right now.

Shi Wei was clueless and had gone to her father for help. Her father told her that he could do nothing to help.

So these shopping malls in Jiang City actually belonged to the Fu clan? But since they belonged to the Fu clan, why did Fu Chengyan refuse to help Fucheng? Fu Xicheng and Fu Chengyan were relatives, right?

“I…”

“Miss, what do you want to complain about?”

“I…” Shi Wei clenched her teeth. “I want to buy that pair of shoes but the salesperson refused to sell them to me. Don’t you want to do business? Do you know who I am?” Shi Wei continued, “I have money but she refused to sell me those shoes. Why? And your salesperson was terribly rude. Why did you hire someone like her?”

Shi Wei dared not target Fu Chengyan but it was fine to target the salesperson.

The general manager raised his brows. He was surprised she dared to say that out loud. Since Fu Chengyan had his eyes on the shoes, no one dared to take them away from him.

The general manager decided to put on an act and looked at the salesperson, “Is what she is saying true?”

The salesperson also pretended to be shocked, “Of course not! We’re customer-oriented and always put our customers first. But Mr. Fu had already taken the shoes and he had paid for them beforehand.”

“Nonsense. When did he pay?” Shi Wei blurted out. “We watched the whole thing happen. There are also CCTVs in this store. You’re lying!”

“I’m not lying. Mr. Fu doesn’t need to pay. Everything that he wants will be his. In fact, Mr. Fu doesn’t need to pay in any shopping mall in Jiang City. Miss, don’t you know that? He owns our shopping mall.” The salesperson simply thought that Shi Wei was too ignorant. “Even if Mr. Fu wants every single thing in this shopping mall, he won’t need to pay a cent!”

Shi Wei’s face was as pale as a sheet. Her lips parted but nothing came out from her mouth.

The general manager coughed before saying, “Since we’ve made it clear, it’s all just a misunderstanding. Miss, it is understandable that you don’t know our boss since few people get to see him. The shoes are taken now, would you like to have another pair instead?”

“You…”

“Let’s go!” Su Su felt humiliated, especially since they were in a luxury store. Rich ladies often frequented this store. If they found out about this, she might end up being laughed at.

Su Su and Anna pulled Shi Wei away. Anna and Shi Wei were unwilling to leave but Su Su was sensible enough. “Don’t forget your status. You’re a popular celebrity and also Ms. Shi of the Shi family. It won’t do you any good if other people see this. Plus, that man is Fu Chengyan. Do you really want to offend him?”

Shi Wei clenched her teeth and glowered at Shi Nuan before leaving reluctantly.

Su Su was holding Shi Wei’s hand but her gaze was still on Fu Chengyan. All the time, Fu Chengyan said nothing and didn’t even look at them but his distinguishable aura attracted people to stare at him.

Shi Nuan bit her lips as she watched them leave. She said meekly, “She will hate me for that.”
