Chapter 173 It seems like I've been tricked.
Lin Qing huddled in Gu Youlian's arms, looking weak and afraid to speak, biting her lower lip and her eyes reddening.
Who wouldn't understand? They definitely didn't give it to them!
The hotel staff laughed and said, "It looks like she definitely didn't give it to us! With that old lady's character, how could we give it to her? When she checked out, she even took our slippers and water cup, and then denied it. She also lay on the floor and made a scene in our hotel. In the end, we had no choice but to accept our bad luck and just give the slippers and water cup away as a gift!"
"Who? Who took your slippers and water cup? Do you have any proof? Are you just lying through your teeth?" Wu Axiu was starting to suspect that she had been tricked by Lin Qingping. No wonder Lin Qingping's attitude had changed so drastically this time. She had thought she had her daughter under her thumb again, but she hadn't expected that she would be waiting here! There probably wasn't a single person on this street who could say anything bad about this little bitch!
The hostel staff pointed to her feet, "These are our slippers! Don't I recognize my own shoes?"
A flicker of panic crossed Wu Axiu's face at first, then a flash of rage crossed her eyes. She grabbed one of her slippers and threw it towards the direction of the conversation in the crowd. "Are these your slippers? Do they have names on them? If you call them, do you think they'll answer you?"
The man picked up the slippers, pinched his nose, and said, "These slippers really do have a name on them. Look, Spring Breeze Inn, isn't that right?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Wu Axiu could read, but not many characters. The name of the Spring Breeze Inn on the slippers was written in pinyin, which Wu Axiu obviously didn't recognize.
Her face flushed red and then turned pale from the laughter, before she suddenly turned on Lin Qingping, yelling, "You little bitch! You tried to trap me, didn't you? I'll teach you a lesson! I'll beat you to death, you little bitch! I'll beat you to death!"
Wu Axiu took off her other slipper and slapped Lin Qingping across the face.
Gu Youlian naturally wanted to help Lin Qingping, and Lin Qingping's cries could be heard amidst the sounds of slippers slapping and Gu Youlian blocking.
"Big sister, big sister, don't block me... My mother was humiliated today... Hit me, let her vent her anger, and she'll feel better, big sister, sob sob sob, big sister, don't block me..."
The young girl's tearful cries were so heartbreaking that they tugged at one's heartstrings.
Finally, some onlookers couldn't bear to watch any longer and advised, "Stop hitting him! How can you hit a child like that? It sounds so pitiful!"
"That's right, the child is a student at the Capital University. If my child were that successful, I would support him and take care of him. How could I bear to beat him like that!"
Wu Axiu was furious. Were all the people in the capital crazy? She couldn't do this, and she couldn't do that!
Destroying houses is forbidden! Why not? What's the big deal if they break down a courtyard wall during a fight in the countryside?
Fine! Even if she can't, it's not allowed for her to hit her own daughter? These people from the capital shouldn't be so nosy!
She was genuinely angry!
In this unfamiliar place, which is also the capital, she was somewhat intimidated after her tantrum. She didn't dare to offend the people of the capital too much. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. What if she really had to pay for the damage to the house?
She didn't want to pay compensation, but she was also a little scared. She felt guilty and resentful, and she was so angry and frustrated that she felt like she was about to explode. So she took her anger out on Lin Qingping in order to salvage some of her self-esteem.
There are some people who are fierce and unreasonable, but when they encounter someone stronger, they become afraid. They still want to save face and refuse to admit defeat. In order to maintain their authority, they vent their anger on the weaker people, and children are often the weaker ones.
Lin Qingping is playing the role of a weak and innocent girl today, and she has been playing the role of a sensible and filial daughter since her mother came, all so that public opinion can be on her side at this moment.
People tend to sympathize with the vulnerable.
After playing the role of a good daughter for several days, Lin Qingping's pitiful and tearful performance in front of her mother today was enough to make everyone watching think that her mother was no good.
The performance has almost reached its limit. If she just wastes a little more time, stirs up a little more public anger, and finds a way to further escalate the conflict, the onlookers will go to the police station. Then, having secured the moral high ground, she can legitimately take away those two clingy people, her mother and brother.
However, before she could continue her performance and incitement, the crowd automatically parted to make way for someone with a dark face who walked in with an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Gu Juncheng is back.
"Chengzi! Quick! Come and protect your wife, she's about to be beaten badly!" Gu Youlian seemed to have seen a savior.
