Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

When Jiang Yixia heard this, she immediately put down what she was doing, hurried over to the woman, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"How should I know? After I bought these flowers from you, I was holding the bouquet, and my hands broke out in a rash!" Aunt Chen clamored.

"Let me see." Jiang Yixia looked anxiously at Aunt Chen’s hands.

Aunt Chen held up her hands for a moment, then immediately started shouting again, "Did your shop use some kind of chemical on these flowers? Look! My hands are having an allergic reaction!"

"Ma’am, please don’t worry. Let me take a look at your hands," Jiang Yixia replied. "If we need to, we’ll go to the hospital."

Lu Fan, who was off to the side, didn’t say a word, observing the scene in silence.

The woman, Aunt Chen, didn’t seem to be stating what she wanted. Instead, she just kept yelling, "After I bought these roses from your shop, I thought they had a strange smell. I didn’t think much of it at first, but then I discovered my hands were covered in a rash!!"

Her shouting attracted the attention of passersby.

Some potential customers who were about to enter the shop even stopped in their tracks.

After all, they didn’t want to get involved in such a dispute.

Listening to the woman vent, Jiang Yixia immediately tried to placate her. "Ma’am, it’s okay. If the flowers from my shop caused your allergic reaction, I will take full responsibility."

"Take responsibility for what? They’re red and itchy, and it’s killing me!" Aunt Chen said, then turned her head toward the street and shouted, "The flowers from this shop are poisonous!"

Of course, Jiang Yixia wasn’t a fool. She could see that this Aunt Chen seemed to be looking for trouble.

Considering her behavior when she bought the flowers earlier, something was definitely off.

Just as Jiang Yixia was about to defend herself, Lu Fan spoke up.

He finished the last of his pork rib, then stood up and said, "Ma’am, are you allergic to pollen?"

"No, I’m not," Aunt Chen stated firmly. "It must be that your flowers are contaminated. That’s why my skin is reacting."

With that, she started shouting again, "Scam artist! This shop is a scam!"

At that moment, Jiang Yixia glanced at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan nodded at her reassuringly.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other in eighteen years.

They had lived together before, after all, so a certain understanding still existed between them.

They both realized it at the same time: this woman was definitely here to cause trouble on purpose.

So, Lu Fan said calmly, "How about this? We’ll call the police and let them handle it."

When Aunt Chen heard this, her expression faltered slightly, but she maintained her aggressive tone. "Call the police? Go ahead! If you’re not afraid of the embarrassment, then call them. If they find something illegal, you might just go out of business."

Jiang Yixia declared seriously, "I order all my flowers from flower farms that I’ve personally inspected. There’s nothing wrong with them. My conscience is clear, so let’s call the police."

With that, she prepared to dial 110.

Aunt Chen hadn’t expected Jiang Yixia to be so firm.

She stammered for a moment before saying, "Maybe those flower farms are doing something shady behind your back, and you don’t even know it! I think you just don’t want to pay up."

Lu Fan smiled. "Don’t worry. If it’s our fault, we’ll pay what’s owed. I’ll cover all your medical expenses. But that’s only if it’s our fault. If this is a case of you trying to scam us, then don’t blame me for letting the police handle it."

"Are you accusing me of trying to scam you?" Aunt Chen said angrily. "Your shop’s flowers are the problem, and you have the nerve to sling mud at a customer!"

"I didn’t say you were scamming. No need to get so excited," Lu Fan replied.

"What kind of owner are you? How can you talk to a customer like that? Don’t you know the customer is always right?" Aunt Chen yelled, pointing at Lu Fan’s nose.

Jiang Yixia replied, "He’s not the owner. I am."

"Isn’t he your husband?" Aunt Chen snorted. "Trying to shift the blame already? It’s true what they say: husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes."

"Who told you he was my husband?" Jiang Yixia’s face darkened as she dialed 110. "I’m calling the police. You can tell them your story."

She then briefly explained the situation to the police on the phone, asking them to send someone over.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen was momentarily speechless. "If you’re not her husband, then what are you running your mouth for?"

"It’s true I’m not her husband right now. I’m the father of her child," Lu Fan said calmly.

That statement completely short-circuited Aunt Chen’s brain.

’What kind of logic is that?’

But she didn’t dwell on it, just continued her shouting. "I don’t care! You have to pay up! Medical fees plus 500 for pain and suffering. Hurry up! The flowers from this shop are poisonous!"

Lu Fan sighed when he heard her demand.

’Sometimes, he really couldn’t understand how such idiotic people existed.’

Even a fool could tell she was deliberately causing trouble to ruin the reputation of Jiang Yixia’s flower shop.

Usually, in situations like this, it was either a competitor or someone with a vested interest in her failure.

But given Lu Fan’s personality, a belligerent woman like her needed to be taught a proper lesson.

So, he decided to wait for the police to arrive and then find a pretext to really put her in her place.

By now, Jiang Yixia had finished her call with the police.

She looked at Aunt Chen and said, "I’ve called 110. We can take this up with the police."

"Who’s taking this up with the police with you?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen started to panic a little.

She had only intended to cause a scene, hoping Jiang Yixia would give her some hush money to make the problem go away.

And, in the process, tarnish the flower shop’s good reputation.

But she never expected Jiang Yixia to push back so hard.
