Yang Liying also chimed in from the side, "This is ridiculous. You try to let a grown woman save some face, and she pretends not to understand plain words. Her skin's as thick as a castle wall."
"Yang Liying, I'm talking to Lin Lan. What's this got to do with you?" Xiang Hongxia said, then looked at Lin Lan. "Did Yang Meihua say something to you?"
Yang Liying's eyes widened, and she was about to retort when Lin Lan pulled her back. Lin Lan looked coldly at Xiang Hongxia. "We both know full well why you're here today. Stop wasting your time with me. No matter what you do, I will never teach you!"
Just then, another customer arrived. Lin Lan buried her head in her work, ignoring Xiang Hongxia completely.
Xiang Hongxia's smile finally fell. She turned on her heel and stormed off. "What's so great about you, anyway? It's just selling a few pastries, not gold." As she spoke, she put on a disgusted expression and spat on the ground.
