Xu Ke returned to Luo City very quietly. He didn’t tell anyone or alert anyone. He wanted to go back quietly and give Lin ngyao a surprise, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a scene as soon as he got off the plane.
In the airport lobby, a woman who looked about forty years old but well-maintained was pointing angrily at a small girl in a JK uniform carrying luggage in front of her. The reason for calling her a small girl was because she not only looked small in stature but also seed quite young.
At this mont, her tidy white shirt had been wrinkled by the woman, whose voice was sharp and piercing, stabbing into Xu Ke’s and the onlookers’ eardrums like a steel needle.
"You’re coming ho with . Your brother’s condition can’t be delayed any longer. Hurry up and co back with to save him. I didn’t raise you for nothing. Now it’s ti for you to repay the favor." The woman was tugging at the girl’s white shirt, her movents exceptionally rough.
The girl’s shirt at the chest was being tugged at, and two buttons had co off, leaving the neckline open and in danger of exposure at any mont. But the woman didn’t care about that. She only wanted to drag the girl away and take her to the hospital.
"I’m not going! I don’t want to go with you! I don’t want to go with you!" The girl was very frail, unable to resist the woman’s actions. She was so anxious that her face was covered in tears, flushed red, and even breaking out in sweat.
But her resistance ant nothing to the woman. The girl bit her lower lip and used her moist eyes, like black jade imrsed in water, to scan the onlookers for help. But none of the crowd around her cared, and there was even a sleazy man pulling out his phone to try and photograph her exposed neckline.
The man first glanced at the woman grabbing the girl and noticed she wasn’t stopping him, which made him bolder. Despite overhearing people calling him sleazy and vulgar, the man didn’t care. After all, nobody knew him here, so once he was done filming, he could leave without anyone being able to do anything about it.
The man was quite smug, just as he was about to capture the area he had been eyeing, a large hand reached from behind him and snatched the phone away, smashing it to the ground and even stomping on it.
"Sorry, I didn’t see clearly and broke your phone. I’ll compensate you with a new one later." Xu Ke, with one hand in his pocket, looked down at the man, who was about a head shorter than him, and said without any expression on his face.
The man was sowhat scared initially, but after seeing Xu Ke’s appearance, his fear diminished significantly. His eyes boldly road over Xu Ke’s attire, revealing his malicious intentions.
"Who are you to co up and smash my phone? This is called damaging another person’s property, and I could sue you for this. Do you know that?" The man pointed to his phone, which was now in pieces, on the ground.
"If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Just as well, we can head to the police station to discuss your behavior." Xu Ke said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"What behavior, what are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re referring to." The man, seeing Xu Ke’s earnest deanor, originally planned to take advantage of Xu Ke, but suddenly he grew uneasy and uncertain.
He kept recalling in his mind if he had done anything illegal or if he knew Xu Ke, and what Xu Ke knew about him, but after pondering for a while, he couldn’t think of anything, and finally, his nervous heart settled down.
In the anti, Xu Ke took the opportunity while the man was lost in thought to rescue the girl from the woman’s grasp. He also took off his jacket and draped it over the girl to cover her torn neckline and prevent exposure.
"Thank you." The girl clutched tightly to the jacket draped over her, eyes moist with gratitude as tears slid down her cheeks, speaking in a small voice.
The girl was grateful to Xu Ke, but her mother didn’t see it the sa way. The woman’s gaze towards them was as if she wanted to eat them alive, but Xu Ke’s deanor and attire didn’t invite confrontation, even though he looked non-threatening. However, the woman knew she could control her daughter.
"Who is this? Is he the man you seduced outside? I wondered why you were behaving so well, doing everything I asked, but this ti you’re packing up to run away. Did you find a wild man outside inciting you?" The woman tried to grab the girl’s arm, but Xu Ke intervened and blocked her.
"No, I don’t know him." The girl, like a little rabbit, opened her mouth to softly defend herself.
However, the woman wouldn’t hear any explanations, looking at the girl with disdain and loathing, as if she was worse than garbage, "At such a young age, I spent money to send you to school to gain knowledge, not to learn how to seduce n. The Yu Family has always been upright, yet you turned out to be a shaless thing, seducing wild n like a vixen and trying to elope. I’m telling you, you must co ho with today and follow ." The woman reached out once more to grab the girl, only to be blocked by Xu Ke again.
People’s love for gossip is unimaginable. The crowd that initially wanted to disperse gathered again because of the woman’s words. So even looked at the girl with judgntal and critical eyes as if she were sothing filthy. A few of the n ogled her with lascivious and vile gaze, treating her like a re commodity.
"Why are you stopping ? Our child is still a minor. Be careful, or I’ll call the police and have you arrested for abducting a minor girl, sending you to prison to eat jail food." The woman looked at Xu Ke fiercely and threatened.
"I was just thinking of asking the police what the penalty would be for slandering and defaming soone without any concrete evidence, damaging their reputation and causing severe ntal harm. How many years would that get?" Xu Ke said lazily, unaffected, with confidence and indifference in his eyes instead of fear.
"And I’d also like to know why this girl is so afraid to go ho with you, looking as malnourished as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Clearly, her life at ho must be hard. Coupling that with your ntion of needing her for her brother’s surgery, what exactly do you need her for? Surely it’s not to cut sothing out from her to give to her brother? That’s probably why the poor girl ran away," Xu Ke looked at the woman, his words slow and pointed.
It was during this mont that Xu Ke noticed the dramatic change in the woman’s expression, confirming his suspicion.
