You tricked me into raising your son? You'll divorce me and become my aunt.

The sound was both familiar and jarring.

Cheng Xi paused, then subconsciously turned around.

Ruan Ning frowned upon hearing the voice.

The person who arrived was Bai Xinyao.

She was accompanied by two elegantly dressed women, and the group walked over with an air of arrogance.

Before the sales clerk could speak, Bai Xinyao recited a unique membership number, saying arrogantly, "You're familiar with this membership number, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the salesman immediately put on a fawning smile: "So you're Mrs. Fu."

At this moment, the saleswoman who had been serving Bai Xinyao also came over and said to the salesman who had been serving Cheng Xi, "Mrs. Fu is our VIP customer. Please give this bag to Mrs. Fu."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyao's smile deepened.

Cheng Xi frowned and retorted to Bai Xinyao without any politeness: "Why are you so shameless? You like to steal other people's things, don't you? Last time you stole the dress Ningning wanted, and this time you stole the bag I wanted."

Bai Xinyao wasn't angry. She raised her lips in a provocative smile and said, "It's more exciting to steal other people's things."

Cheng Xi raised her chin. "I won't allow it."

"Are you sure?" Bai Xinyao raised an eyebrow, a hint of mocking amusement in her eyes.

"I chose it first," Cheng Xi said, refusing to back down. "Why should I give it to you?"

Bai Xinyao laughed: "Just because I'm a VIP member of the store."

Cheng Xi rolled her eyes. "Pah! Shameless! Is it something to be proud of to buy a bag using someone else's husband's card?"

The sales clerks and saleswomen standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this.

What does that mean?

Someone else's husband?

Isn't Miss Bai Mrs. Fu?

Cheng Xi looked at the sales clerk and said, "Please scan the code so I can pay."

The sales clerk's attitude changed, and his politeness faded considerably.

He looked at Cheng Xi, a hint of impatience in his voice, and said, "Madam, I'm really sorry, Miss Bai is a high-level VIP customer of our store and enjoys priority shopping rights. This bag is in short supply, so please give it to Miss Bai."

Cheng Xi's expression darkened slightly: "I made my choice first, why should I give way?"

Seeing that she refused to back down, Bai Xinyao smiled.

She said to the sales clerk, "How about this, if you sell me this bag, I'll spend one million in your store today to help you reach your sales target for this month."

Upon hearing Bai Xinyao say this, the salesman's expression immediately changed.

One million!

You know, this bag only costs a little over 20,000 yuan.

The commission for a regular customer buying a bag is meager.

A single large purchase of one million yuan can directly help her win the monthly sales champion title, guaranteeing her commission, bonus, and performance evaluation for the month.

The sales clerk looked at Cheng Xi with obvious impatience, and his tone became much harsher: "Madam, please don't make things difficult for me. You're just a regular customer, while Miss Bai is our VIP. You're only buying one bag; why don't you look at some other items?"

Hearing him say that, Cheng Xi was furious.

That's so snobbish!

Just because someone else spends more, they disregard the most basic rule of first come, first served and arbitrarily snatch the goods that someone else has already chosen.

Cheng Xi's voice turned serious: "I was already ready to pay, so why should she be allowed to take my things just because she can spend more? Is this how your store serves its customers?"

The sales clerk was speechless when asked the question, but instead of feeling guilty, he became even more impatient.

"In addition to the first-come, first-served principle, our store also has a priority system. VIP customers already have special privileges. If you keep bothering us like this, it will affect our normal business operations."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Ning's face darkened.

She originally didn't want to get involved.

The sycophantic and discriminatory attitude of the shop assistants is truly infuriating.

Ruan Ning coldly asked, "Your store's service rules are to treat ordinary customers differently and tolerate VIPs cutting in line and grabbing orders?"

"First come, first served is the most basic service standard. You ignored the rules and drove away normal customers because of your large sales volume. Your service attitude is seriously in violation of regulations."

"Call your store manager over," Ruan Ning said coldly. "I'm going to file a complaint."

The two shop assistants' expressions changed; they hadn't expected that this seemingly gentle and quiet woman would directly complain.

A moment later, the store manager rushed over.

After learning the whole story, even the store manager sided with Bai Xinyao.

He looked at Cheng Xi and Ruan Ning, and said perfunctorily, "Ladies, I'm really sorry, but our store's VIP customers have priority in purchasing. Ms. Bai's priority is even higher, and this bag should be given to Ms. Bai first. We hope you can understand and not take it to heart."

Hearing the store manager say that, Ruan Ning's eyes turned cold.

Cheng Xi was also furious.

She didn't necessarily need the bag, but she couldn't stand Bai Xinyao bullying her like this.

Seeing Ruan Ning and Cheng Xi's somber expressions, Bai Xinyao smiled even more broadly.

The store manager's attitude wore down Ruan Ning's last bit of patience.

Her gaze swept over the name tags on the chests of the three shop assistants, and she took out her phone to directly dial the dedicated complaint hotline of the brand's domestic group headquarters.

"Hello, I want to file a complaint." Ruan Ning said coldly, "The staff at the Haicheng MixC store ignored the first-come, first-served rule and treated customers differently based on their spending amount. This is a violation of service regulations. I request that headquarters intervene to investigate and provide an official result."

As she spoke, Ruan Ning paused and then named the three employees, including the store manager.

The shop assistants looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

In typical situations, ordinary customers will at most argue for a few words on the spot and then leave in a huff.

No one had ever dialed the brand group's headquarters directly in front of them.

The headquarters' dedicated line is not something that ordinary people can easily access.

Only VIP members are eligible to make this call.

Who is this woman?

How did she manage to get through to headquarters?

The phone hangs up.

The store manager's face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Having worked at the store for many years, he knew best the significance of the headquarters hotline. Anyone who could directly contact the headquarters' supervisory department was definitely not an ordinary person, and was not someone they could easily offend.

The other two shop assistants beside them had lost their previous impatience and arrogance. They looked flustered and at a loss, knowing that they had offended someone they shouldn't have.

The store manager immediately tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I'm so sorry, ladies. It was our store's fault for handling the situation improperly, and there was a serious oversight in our service. We've caused you both distress."

Ruan Ning sneered, "It's too late to apologize now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the phone rang in the store.

It was someone from headquarters calling to verify the information.

The headquarters took a firm stance, demanding that the store immediately apologize to the two customers and hand over the goods to Cheng Xi, who was the first to be selected. At the same time, the store was ordered to conduct a self-inspection and make rectifications, and the employee involved was internally punished.

After finishing the phone call, the store manager quickly picked up the bag, tidied it up, and personally handed it to Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi finally felt relieved after witnessing the dramatic turn of events.

She gave a cold laugh. "I don't want this bag."

The store manager apologized to Ruan Ning again, hoping that she could forgive them.

"I've already given you a chance." Ruan Ning turned around with a cold face and pulled Cheng Xi out of the store.

Bai Xinyao stood to the side, her face extremely unpleasant.
