I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 16: Want to Try

"If you can't afford it, then don't come to this store."

Just as Ye Qingcheng was hesitating about whether to buy the outfit, Yuan Lili walked in with that line.

Ye Qingcheng turned her head and looked at the woman in front of her, someone familiar but extremely unpleasant.

"Ye Qingcheng, it’s been a few years, and you’re still the same," Yuan Lili pouted, paused for a moment, and said, "Poor wretch."

Her eyes were full of contempt and disdain toward Ye Qingcheng.

But Ye Qingcheng wasn’t surprised at all, she was used to it. Yuan Lili had been her "mortal enemy" since middle school, always unable to stand the fact that Ye Qingcheng had better grades and was more attractive than her.

"Yuan Lili, I didn’t expect that after all these years, you’re still the same," Ye Qingcheng paused slightly, then continued, "Still pretending."

Yuan Lili didn’t take offense. With her arms crossed confidently, "Hmph, Ye Qingcheng, I think you’re just jealous of me."

Ye Qingcheng didn’t back down either. She also crossed her arms, deliberately pushed out her chest a bit, and chuckled, "I’m jealous of you? Jealous that you have to rely on makeup every day just to be seen in public?"

Seeing that Ye Qingcheng had the upper hand, Yuan Lili became both angry and embarrassed.

She snapped, "You—you—Ye Qingcheng, watch your mouth!"

Ye Fan didn’t expect his sister to be so sharp-tongued when arguing with someone. He actually thought this was something worth learning from her.

But what Ye Qingcheng said was the truth. Compared to Yuan Lili, even without makeup, Ye Qingcheng was several times more beautiful.

Especially lately, eating the fruits and vegetables Ye Fan had grown. Even though she was already past 30, her skin looked as youthful as if she were 18.

"Hey, Yuan Lili, I’m already a mother, and you still can’t compare to me," Ye Qingcheng glanced at her and added, "So tell me, what do you have?"

"You..."

"You what? What a pity about your outfit."

As she said this, Ye Qingcheng walked up to Yuan Lili and lightly touched the clothes she was wearing.

"Ye Qingcheng, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing Yuan Lili’s confused expression, Ye Qingcheng stepped back to Ye Fan’s side and said, "That outfit of yours, it’s suffering just being on you."

"Hahaha..."

As soon as Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone in the store who had been watching the scene couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

It would’ve been fine if Ye Qingcheng hadn’t said anything, but once she did, everyone present—men and women alike—also felt that if Yuan Lili’s outfit were on Ye Qingcheng, it would truly bring out its best features.

"Y-You’re all ganging up to bully me, aren’t you?"

Yuan Lili looked around at the crowd that was watching the drama unfold and said angrily.

Ye Qingcheng looked at the embarrassed Yuan Lili and lifted the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Let me say this, Miss Yuan, it was you who shamelessly came up to me looking for trouble, alright?"

"Ugh, how hateful..."

"What’s wrong, baby?"

Suddenly, a man’s voice came from outside the store. A fairly good-looking man walked in.

Yuan Lili immediately rushed to Wang Haoming’s side, clung to his arm, and whined, "Brother Wang, they’re all bullying me!"

"It’s okay, baby. I’ll stand up for you."

As he said that, Wang Haoming stroked Yuan Lili’s smooth hand while walking toward Ye Fan and the others.

At this moment, Yuan Lili’s eyes were full of smugness.

She thought to herself, "Hmph, Ye Qingcheng, you’re going to regret this in a second."

"May I ask, who bullied Yuan Lili?"

"I did."

Ye Qingcheng wasn’t the least bit intimidated by who he might be and responded directly.

But as soon as Wang Haoming saw Ye Qingcheng’s delicate face, he was completely stunned. He had never seen such a feminine and attractive woman before. "So beautiful… that face, that figure."

Although that was just his inner thought, the lecherous expression on his face gave it away.

Ye Qingcheng could instantly tell what Wang Haoming was thinking and snapped, "Disgusting."

"Who gave you the guts to insult Brother Wang? Are you looking for—"

Wang Haoming suddenly turned and glared at Yuan Lili, barking, "Shut up! Can’t you see I’m talking to a beautiful woman?"

"Brother Wang, you…"

Yuan Lili hadn’t expected that the man who had just been calling her "baby" and doting on her would suddenly scold her just because of Ye Qingcheng.

But Wang Haoming ignored Yuan Lili completely. With a sleazy smile, he looked at Ye Qingcheng.

"Beautiful lady, are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal."

"Not interested."

Ye Qingcheng couldn’t stand the way he looked at her, so without saying anything else, she flatly rejected him.

"Don’t be in such a rush to say no. Do you know who I am?"

"I don’t, and I don’t want to know."

"Hahaha, bold answer. Let me tell you, I’m from the Wang family."

Among the onlookers watching the scene, someone immediately started murmuring when they heard he was from the Wang family.

"What? He’s from the Wang family?"

"Could it be the Wang family that’s one of the two major families in Laiyang Town?"

"Look at the way he’s dressed, how could that be fake? Besides, who would dare to impersonate someone from the Wang family?"

"Then in that case, those few kids over there are in big trouble."

……

Hearing the murmurs around him, Wang Haoming looked at Ye Qingcheng with pride and asked, "Well? Are you scared now?"

"Scared? What would I be scared of?"

However, Ye Qingcheng saying she wasn’t scared was a lie. The man in front of her was a notorious second-generation heir from Laiyang Town, backed by powerful influence, someone a village girl like her could never afford to provoke.

Wang Haoming could also tell that Ye Qingcheng was still a bit afraid of him.

"Hahaha, girl, interested in being my lover?"

As soon as he said that, Yuan Lili behind him immediately got upset.

"What? Brother Wang, aren’t I your lover?"

"Relax. You’re my main lover. She’ll be the second."

At that, Yuan Lili blinded by money and infatuation, actually accepted this arrangement. After all, she was still the "main lover" this time.

Then Yuan Lili looked at Ye Qingcheng and chimed in, "Ye Qingcheng, I think you should just agree to it. You’ll live a life full of luxury and wealth."

Hearing Yuan Lili say that, Wang Haoming felt especially pleased, as if to say, "See? Even she understands how good I’d treat you."

"Pft! Yuan Lili, I’ve seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as you."

Everyone around, including Ye Qingcheng and the bystanders, felt absolutely disgusted by Yuan Lili’s behavior.

But Yuan Lili didn’t care one bit. She just snorted and said, "Hmph, who cares about being shameless, as long as I get to step on you."

"That’s enough, sis. Let’s go."

Just as everyone was arguing, Ye Fan’s voice rang out.

"You want to leave? Did you ask me first?"

Wang Haoming wasn’t about to let this beauty slip away. In his mind, no matter what, he had to get her today.

Then he stepped in front of Ye Fan, looked him over, and asked, "Kid, do you want to work at my family’s company? I’ll set you up with the best position on the condition that your sister becomes my lover."

And as soon as the onlookers heard that he was offering Ye Fan a job, many of them started feeling envious.
