Charlie’s first impression of these people,
They feel very much like the more common troubling teenagers in the third and fifth-tier cities in China.
The four people entered the convenience store, the girl in the lead then spoke directly: “Hey, give me a pack of Marlboro!”
Xiaofen turned around, saw that it was these kids, immediately frowned, coldly said:
“BC province has a rule, only 19 years old and above can buy cigarettes.”
The girl in the lead skimmed her mouth and said disdainfully, “I’m 19 years old!”
Xiaofen said lightly: “Then please show your ID card.”
The girl at the head said contemptuously, “I don’t have my ID card, I’m nineteen this year, ask that b!tch if you don’t believe me!”
After that, she pointed her finger at Claudia beside Xiaofen and said with a provocative face,
“Hey, you disfigured b!tch, you tell this b!tch if I’m nineteen years old or not!”
Claudia said somewhat nervously, but firmly,
“If I remember correctly, you should have just turned eighteen this year.”
After saying that, she looked at Xiaofen and said seriously,
“Sister Fanny, if we sell cigarettes to her, according to the law of B.C.,”
“The store will be fined up to fifty thousand Canadian dollars.”
Xiaofen frowned and said, “I ask you few to focus on your studies, don’t come to my place to pick a fight with bad intention,”
“You go away, you are not welcomed here!”
The girl’s face suddenly chilled, staring at Claudia, coldly said:
“Really b!tch, you usually at school liked to steal the limelight from me,”
“Now disfigured and still fcuking disgusting me here,”
“I buy a pack of cigarettes you have to give me trouble, really fcuking b!tch!”
After that, she clutched her shoulder and looked at the boy beside her, said with a disgusted face:
“You’re really blind, you used to secretly like this b!tch, you also wrote a few love letters to her behind my back, didn’t you?”
“As if she did not hang you at that time ah! Probably did not put you in the eye, but now she is disfigured,”
“You want to break up with me, and then try to pursue her? Maybe she’ll say yes to you!”
The boy said with some embarrassment, “Yun Yun, that was all in the past, it’s true that I was blind in the past,”
“I will definitely not be s3duced and compelled by such people again ……”
When Claudia heard this, she immediately said coldly, “Smith, please pay attention to what you say!”
“I have never s3duced you! Those letters you wrote to me, I returned them to you in their original form without even opening them and reading them!”
“I hope that you, as a boy, at least have the basic responsibility of a man when you speak!”
The boy who was called Smith suddenly blushed, but the girl on the side was adding fuel to the mockery:
“Awww, Smith, you wrote a letter to someone, and she didn’t even read it, you say you are not ashamed ah?”
“The key is that she is now disfigured and ugly, but she still doesn’t like you and can still hit you in the face,”
“So what’s the point of living? If I were you, I’d find a piece of tofu and crash to death!”
Xiaofen spoke up at this time and said, “Please go out and crash if you want to crash to death,”
“Not in my store, you are not welcomed here.”
“Sh!t!” The girl cursed loudly: “You’re a fcuking convenience store owner,”
“What are you pretending with me here, believe it or not, I’ll make your store unsuccessful in a minute?
