Chapter 256


    Chapter 256 “This boy is interesting. He looks so young, but his words are harsh. However, he


    still has much to learn when arguing with someone else. Just look at how mad he is after I


    retorted.’ “Go away! Leave now if you’re not going to buy anything! You’re going to distract me


    from my work.” Instead of saying that Lily would disrupt his business, he said she would


    distract him from working. This shop owner was indeed an interesting one. However, Lily found


    it more fascinating to talk to him the more he talked back to her. “Who says I’m not buying


    anything? I just haven’t found an item I liked yet.” “There’s nothing you’ll like here! Just leave


    now!”


    ‘Wow! It’s my first time seeing a business owner who shoos his customers away.‘


    Just as Lily was about to say something, she saw the curtain pushed aside, revealing an older


    man who rebuked the young man as soon as he came out. “You’re scaring away our customers


    again! Do you still want to work here? Get out if you don’t!”


    “1-1…” The young man who was agitated earlier now had his head hung low in defeat. “So


    you’re not the owner?” Lily looked at him profoundly, showing that she understood the


    situation.


    “You!” He got riled up in an instant, perhaps from humiliation after Lily discovered his true


    identity. However, something stopped him from going on the next second. “Shut up! I told you


    before this to talk politely to our customers! You’re going to scare all of them away like this!


    Who are you going to sell all these stupid things you carve to? Go and do your work now!


    Another word, and I’ll fire you!”


    After the older man scolded him, he stayed silent and went back to carving the wood block he


    had been working on earlier.


    At this sight, Lily found him even more interesting. He could get mad right away and calm down


    the next. The boy wore his heart on his sleeves.


    “Ma’am, what are you looking for? Shall I introduce our products to you?” Indeed, a business


    owner spoke with more warinth. Even the way he addressed Lily was not the same. “It’s all


    right. I’m just looking around.” Lily nced around the surroundings again. “Sir, you have


    unique wood pieces in your shop.”


    “You mean these carvings?” the owner said, smiling, “of course! Renowned craftsmen created


    all these wood carvings. Each of them is crafted delicately, besides having a unique


    appearance. You’ll not find anything simr in another shop. Putting a wood carving as such in


    your living room would enhance the vibes, and it would also be good for your reputation.”


    “Pfft.”


    Lily heard a soft, almost inaudible, mocking sound from the young man. She turned to look at


    him. ‘He sure isn’t one to back down easily.’ Seeing that Lily was staring at the young man


    silently, the owner quickly said, “He’s just learning about craftsmanship here, and he’s new.


    Don’t listen to his nonsense. He knows nothing and is just handling the shop for me.”

    The owner was criticizing him, but he was not affected at all and continued with his carving as if


    he could not hear those words. “Ma’am, are you looking for something for yourself or a gift for


    someone else? Could you tell me what type you’re looking for and your budget? I could


    rmend a few carvings that way.”


    Lily shook her head. “This wood.” “Carvings!” the owner corrected her as if calling his


    products wood was insulting them. “No, I’m saying that the woods in your store are unique. Not


    the carvings.” Lily emphasized that she did not make a mistake. “W-Woods?” The owner was


    confused. “Those are the woods used for the carvings. What’s unique about them?”
