Amanda’s coughing subsided in the face of Aaron Gu's sarcasm. "What are you doing here?" she blurted out.

Aaron Gu looked at her coldly and asked: "What? Is this your shop? Em?"

He was obviously very unhappy, and there was a chill in his tone.

The man in suit and tie sat on the roadside stall eating beancurd jelly and was choking on the spicy pepper? It would have hit the headline of the newspaper.
