Chapter 28 – Caught a Scam Artist (3)
Inside the shop, He Qingwan had already finished preparing the two dessert items plus the change. She was just about to hand them over to the man before Xi Yun dashed inside loudly and startled her.
He Qingwan has this habit of pausing in the middle of her actions when she talked. So her hand that was holding the man’s money paused in midair and she smiled at Xi Yun, “Xiao Yun, where did you go earlier?” She just turned around and he was gone.
Seeing that he was so close to getting his money, the man was anxious. He urged her by saying, “Aye, Mrs. Shop Owner, can’t you just give me my stuff first?”
He Qingwan turned her attention back to him. Right when she was about to hand him the items, Xi Yun suddenly shouted out loudly, “No!”
He Qingwan was startled again. She smiled at him, “Xiao Yun?”
The man was annoyed. He turned to Xi Yun and said snapped at him, “What is your problem, kid!”
Xi Yun was so anxious he was sweating. Jie jie had asked him to stall the man to buy her time, but he couldn’t rouse his suspicion. There were just Aunty He and him in the store, it was too dangerous.
At this moment in time, both He Qingwan and the man were staring at him. He must come up with a reasonable excuse, fast!
He got it!
Suddenly, Xi Yun dashed over and grabbed He Qingwan’s arm and shouted out, “Aunty! Don’t sell the cheesecake!”
He Qingwan, “???”
Man, “???”
If any other store owners were doing business and were disrupted by the neighbor kid like this, they would certain be angry by now, but not He Qingwan.
Even if the man next to her threatened that, “Hey! Are you doing business or not? You keep dragging your feet I am going to cancel my order!” She just looked at Xi Yun tenderly and asked, “And why is that?”
Man, “.......?!”
Xi Yun clung onto her hand and acted like a spoiled koala bear and whined, “Don’t sell the cheesecake, save it for jie jei for when she comes home!”
Xi Yun was a little worried when he said that. Would Aunty He not like him anymore after he had acted like a spoiled child.....
He Qingwan was never angry at Xi Yun to begin with. Once she heard his reasoning, her entire heart had melted.
She stroked him on his head gently and said tenderly, “Don’t worry, there are many more in the store. There will be enough for Tiantian.”
Xi Yun continued to whine, “But they will be all gone...”
Man, “Shit, who’s kid is that? Are you going to let me buy the cakes or not?”
He Qingwan smiled at Xi Yun and said, “If they are all gone, I can make more. What do you say?”
The man who was completely ignored, “......”
Xi Yun, “.....”
What could he do now? He was running out of excuses, but jie jie wasn’t back yet....
No, he must stall till she gets there!
For lack of better options, he started to cry and said, “No no no no no. You can’t sell it!”
Even Xi Yun couldn’t stand how unreasonable he was in this moment.
But somehow, He Qingwan gave in. She looked at the man and said, “I’m sorry, why don’t you pick something else.”
Man, “......”
The ..... ? What was going on here?
The man grunted and said in an eccentric voice, “Mrs. Shop Owner really like kids, huh? Whose kid is that?”
He Qingwan didn’t like the man much, so she just ignored him and stroke Xi Yun on his head.
The man walked around the store and pointed at a coconut cube, “I’ll take this one.”
Before He Qingwan even moved, Xi Yun started yelling again, “No No No! Can’t be that one either. I made that with Aunty He. That can’t be sold!”
He Qingwan said to the man, “Please look for something else.”
The man was completed annoyed, “Shit! That’s it! I am not buying anything anymore!”
