Chapter 847: He Would Not Repeat The Same Mistakes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Knowing Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were watching, she was even more embarra.s.sed. She just wanted to leave as soon as she could.
“You gotta pay even if you are broke!” The middle-aged man fiercely tugged at her hand, and even tried to lift her up.
An Zhixin was feeling pain from his tugging. The tears in her eyes fell and she looked pitiful.
It was crowded in the night market. Some onlookers couldn’t stand to watching anymore and said, “Stop touching her. Let’s talk nicely. Look. You made the little girl cry. It’s only a s.h.i.+rt. How expensive can it be! This girl doesn’t look like she comes from a wealthy family. Don’t make it so difficult for her, alright?”
The middle-aged man said unhappily, “I’m making things difficult for her? She was the one who b.u.mped into me and soiled my clothes. Of course she has to pay! This s.h.i.+rt is a name-brand one. It’s very expensive, okay! Who cares if she has money. Is being poor an excuse to not pay up? I’m telling you, mind your own business.”
Hearing that, that woman didn’t dare to say more and she walked away awkwardly. After all, she didn’t want to be caught up in the dispute.
An Zhixin cried and said, “I really have no money. Please, let me go… I-I’m in a rush somewhere. My cla.s.smate has been abducted. I have to call the police now. Please, let me go, okay…”
“Call the police? Don’t think that I’ll get scared at the mention of the police. I don’t care if the emperor or even Lao Tze is on his way here. You soiled my clothes, so you gotta pay for it!” The middle-aged man shouted without regard for her feelings, his voice getting louder as he shouted.
The onlookers walked away, fearing that they might get involved in the trouble. No one dared to speak up An Zhixin.
An Zhixin was helpless.
Beside her, Mu Xiaoxiao’s brows wrinkled as she watched the scene.
She thought that upon seeing the two of them, especially Yin Shaojie, An Zhixin would ask Yin Shaojie for help, but she never expected that she would pretend not to know them at all.
Yin Shaojie watched with calm eyes. It was as if he was just any other stranger in the crowd, without any intention of going up to help her.
He remembered how he once helped An Zhixin but it ended up causing a misunderstanding between him and Xiaoxiao.
He would not repeat the same mistake again.
“Let’s go. Enough watching,” he said tepidly to Mu Xiaoxiao, grabbing her little hand to lead her away from here.
Knowing that this wretch was soft-hearted, if she were to continue watching, she might feel the urge to help An Zhixin.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaoxiao stood still and wouldn’t leave. She even tugged at his hand, her black eyes staring at him. Her intention was clear.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, “You can help her if you want, but I’m not helping.”
If he were to help, An Zhixin would only misinterpret it.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. Though she was afraid of the loud middle-aged man, who looked completely unreasonable, she had him by her side. Yin Shaojie wouldn’t let anyone bully her.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao let go of Yin Shaojie’s hand and stepped forward.
She made a stance and shouted, “Stop it!”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. An Zhixin was also shocked. Even the onlookers turned to look at Mu Xiaoxiao curiously. Seeing that she was only a little girl, they all seemed worried for her.
Some people even advised her, “Little girl, don’t intervene, alright? You don’t want to get into trouble.”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said to the man, “It’s alright. I’m not afraid of him. If everyone were to just mind their own businesses when seeing others in trouble this society would be too apathetic. It can just as well happen to anyone of us, right?”
