Yuan Shu held the chain in her hand and stood in front of Shi Yi. With a weapon in her hand, she gave off an oppressive feeling, like a female general on the battlefield.
“Let’s see who dares to hurt someone from my family!”
When Shi Yi woke up in the morning, she was still feeling upset that she actually felt a little impressed by Yuan Shu yesterday and had been thinking about this matter for the entire morning. Now that she saw Yuan Shu standing in front of her and defending her, this feeling of being protected made her want to cry.
Liu Lan stood in the crowd as she explained the legal treaty to everyone. She asked the people taking photos in the crowd to delete the video, put away their phones, and disperse quickly.

Shi Yi was so impulsive that she forgot about maintaining her image in public. Hence, when she heard the manager say this, Shi Yi felt guilty and was afraid that Yuan Shu wouldn’t help her.
Yuan Shu didn’t turn around and continued to look at the manager. Her gaze was calm, but the manager felt a chill down her spine and had goosebumps all over her body.
She asked Shi Yi in a low voice, “What happened?”
Shi Yi made a long story short and said with a sobbing voice, “The dress hanging in their shop is a copy of my design.”
Yuan Shu frowned. “Don’t cry.”
Shi Yi was startled and immediately held back the tears that were about to flow out. She was worried that Yuan Shu wouldn’t help her since she mocked her yesterday. How could she help…
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu looked at the manager and said to Liu Lan, who was standing outside the shop, “Liu Lan, I wonder what the crime of plagiarizing someone else’s design is?”
Liu Lan immediately understood. “Plagiarizing is an intellectual crime.”
The two of them rendered the manager speechless. She could only point at the two of them with a trembling hand as she said, “You… you’re spouting nonsense! You said that we plagiarized, but where’s the evidence? Show us the evidence! You dare to cause trouble in our shop without evidence? Are you looking down on the Xu family?!”
Yuan Shu narrowed her eyes. This matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed. This person actually mentioned the Xu family so quickly. It seemed that she was just a small fry.
Yuan Shu ignored her. Instead, she turned around and walked to Shi Yi. After she helped Shi Yi tidy her hair and straightened her collar, she looked coldly at Miss Chen, who was hiding at the side.
Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat. Didn’t the rumors say that Yuan Shu entered the Shi family through underhanded means and was stupid? Why was her gaze so terrifying?!
Chen Mo didn’t dare to speak and could only move closer to them.

Chen Mo felt afraid when she saw Yuan Shu draw the line.
In order to get close to the Shi family, Chen Mo had spent a lot of effort to become friends with Shi Yi. Then, she used Shi Yi to provide benefits to the Chen family. From Yuan Shu’s words, she seemed to want to cut off all ties with the Chen family. Chen Mo was filled with regret, but she didn’t dare to say anything and could only go downstairs dejectedly.
Only then did Yuan Shu look at the manager again. “I don’t care if you’re from the Xu family, the Zhang family, or any other family. In short, you’re not worthy of offending my family! You want evidence? Sure, we’ll hand the evidence to the police in three days. If you have anything to say, tell the police!”
The store manager felt guilty and didn’t dare to say anything else. She looked at them timidly.
Yuan Shu gripped the chain in her hand tightly and glanced at the three security officers coldly. “Move.”
The security officers felt scared for some reason and actually moved aside obediently.
Only then did Yuan Shu bring Shi Yi out of the mall without looking back. She turned around and said to Liu Lan when she reached the car downstairs, “Liu Lan, I’m sorry to call you by your name directly, but I didn’t entertain you well today. After I’m done with things in a few days, I’ll treat you to a good meal.”
Liu Lan smiled. “It’s okay. If you keep calling me Madam Xiao, I won’t be used to it. I’m familiar with intellectual property rights infringement lawsuits. If you need anything, call me anytime. However, there’s one thing you have to be careful of. The Xu family isn’t a threat, but the Jiang family is backing them..”
