The waitress felt her forward momentum, instead of abating, become even more pronounced.
What was happening?
Her mind was instantly a muddle.
Logically, after missing her footing, her body would have stumbled forward a few times and then stopped.
But now, she clearly felt that everything that had just happened was merely a prelude, a beginning.
Sensing something was wrong, she immediately looked down.
In an instant, the waitress's face turned as pale as paper.
The waitress had been focused on how to get rid of the uninvited guest, Lü Feng.
However, she had neglected her feet.
As a result, the front tip of the waitress's high heel was now lodged in a crack on the floor at the entrance of the store.
With her heel stuck in the crack, the waitress and her entire body formed a lever.
The waitress lost control of her body.
She lunged directly at Lü Feng.
Although Lü Feng had dodged one obstacle, he hadn't anticipated another.
CRASH!
The two collided violently.
By the time Lü Feng regained his senses, the waitress had already crashed into him.
The waitress's sensitive areas made intimate contact with Lü Feng at an unfortunate angle.
That was not the main issue.
The key was that the waitress's heavily powdered face had, by sheer bad luck, pressed directly against Lü Feng's body.
If Lü Feng hadn't instinctively taken a step back,
her mouth might not have been spared.
It might have directly resulted in a major car crash scene.
Although the waitress was ill-tempered and snobbish, she was, after all, just a young woman of about twenty-four or twenty-five.
She had already found Lü Feng particularly distasteful.
Now, she had unexpectedly come into close contact with someone she detested.
It was simply too much!
Hiss!
A surge of anger instantly erupted from the depths of her heart, spreading outwards like ripples.
Even though all of this was her own doing,
the waitress did not feel she was at fault.
She sprang back from Lü Feng.
"What are you doing? Don't you have eyes?"
The waitress's almond-shaped eyes bulged like rehydrated longans.
Lü Feng remained unfazed.
This was not the first time he had heard such words.
What the other party said was their freedom.
But Lü Feng could decide whether or not to take it to heart.
The person in front of him was simply being unreasonable and playing the rogue.
Lü Feng had no inclination to pay attention.
However, many passersby, noticing the commotion in the store, stopped to watch.
"What's going on?"
"Looks like there's trouble."
"I heard the waitress was chasing away a customer."
"Something like that?"
After this surprised exclamation,
the person who had spoken earlier lowered their voice to explain.
"Why else would it be? Who would welcome someone so poor?"
"True, businesses these days are all so snobbish!"
Hearing this, the waitress felt her sore spot had been touched.
Her expression instantly became strained.
Although she had acted this way, no one wanted to admit it directly.
After all, everyone was snobbish, but no one wanted to be labeled as such.
As a result, the waitress, unable to maintain her composure, immediately shifted the blame to Lü Feng.
"This person, not only is he poor, but he's also a pervert!"
This time, the onlookers' focus shifted from scattered to a surprisingly unified stance.
One person even laid bare their malicious speculation for everyone to see.
"Indeed, the poorer people are, the more they'll push their luck when they get an opportunity!"
Another person quickly chimed in.
"Just looking at this kid, he's clearly no good!"
Words can twist and turn, and reputations can be destroyed.
Public opinion, indeed, could kill without drawing blood.
Being attacked by the crowd,
all the attention instantly shifted to Lü Feng.
They appeared righteous, but in reality, they just wanted to mock this poor young man.
Reading people's expressions.
That too, was a skill.
Lü Feng had studied this skill extensively on the mountain.
In this situation, why wouldn't he leave?
But the two people who had spoken earlier clearly didn't want Lü Feng to leave so easily.
One of them stepped forward voluntarily.
"Hey, don't go, they're saying you're a pervert."
The other person immediately echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, to just leave without saying anything would be too disappointing."
These two sentences immediately drew murmurs from a large crowd of onlookers.
"This person, in the end, has poor character!"
Lü Feng heard this and still just shook his head.
He had originally wanted to be a person who lived in harmony with the world.
But these people insisted on forcing him into the spotlight.
With the matter escalating to this point, the waitress found it difficult to back down.
So, she went with the flow, joining the crowd in splashing all the dirt onto Lü Feng.
"Apologize. Hurry up, I have VIP customers here, don't delay my business!"
Her words were direct and unambiguous.
Her demeanor had subtly transformed into one of ultimate righteousness.
Lü Feng calmly explained.
"I came here to buy something, but you wouldn't let me in and tried to drive me away. If you had let me buy, would this have happened?"
"Buy something? Look at where you are, can you afford to buy anything here?"
Realizing that Lü Feng standing before her was not an employee of the store, the woman standing behind the waitress quickly joined in to support her.
Someone like this, entering the same store as her, lowered her taste.
These words, along with the reactions of the crowd,
completely enraged Lü Feng.
He had intended to be tolerant of others.
But this was the response he received.
Lü Feng couldn't help but think.
It seemed that some people in the world below the mountain were quite disgusting.
Since these people so desperately wanted him to act,
Lü Feng's lips curved slightly upwards.
Practitioners of cultivation always valued humility and discretion.
But now that he was at the doorstep, if he didn't show them something,
not only would he be attacked by everyone, but he might even have trouble escaping.
Lin Meike would be arriving soon.
Thinking of this, Lü Feng hardened his heart and decided to put on a show.
Lü Feng slightly raised his eyes, looking in the direction of the woman's gaze.
"How do you know I can't afford it?"
The woman, hearing this, burst into laughter along with the waitress.
After laughing, the woman continued to explain in a low voice.
"This isn't a supermarket, the clothes here aren't on clearance. Do you think you can get something for three to five hundred?"
"I don't care if I can get it for three to five hundred. In any case, this dress, I liked it as soon as I walked in. It's you."
Lü Feng said, his gaze sweeping towards the waitress.
"You wouldn't let me buy it."
"It's not that I wouldn't let you buy it, but if you got it dirty, how would I sell it?"
What this meant.
Was perfectly clear.
"However, you can't buy this dress anymore. We only have this one, and this gentleman and lady are already preparing to purchase it."
"That's right!"
The woman standing behind the waitress curled her lips and said with a cold snort.
This brat actually wanted to fight her for something.
He was truly tired of living.
At this level,
a person could appear indifferent to many things.
But if someone tried to compete with her for something,
she would never let it go easily.
This was the woman's consistent way of handling things.
In Southeast City, there were indeed people who could compete with her, but certainly not a brat like the one before her.
"Waitress, come, payment!"
The woman displayed a bright gold bank card, waving it in front of the waitress.
"Certainly, madam, please wait a moment!"
Seeing that the sale was made, the waitress was overjoyed.
This bright gold bank card was not something just anyone could possess.
At the bank, this person was also a VIP level client.
The store's rules,
or rather, the explicit regulations of such stores,
always prioritized serving major clients.
Although every customer was catered to as much as possible,
these major clients enjoyed priority within the store.
This time, the brat should have nothing more to say.
The waitress was in a great mood.
Not only had the sale been made,
but her embarrassment had been resolved, and this brat had been put in his place.
She felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
