Chapter 1411 Angry Mob
Mao Qiuyue reached her hand and was about to rip the hair out of the disgusting s.l.u.t stalking her husband when the woman suddenly dodged and backhanded her. Before Mao Qiuyue could react, she was already lying on the floor.
People screamed.
"Qiuyue!"
"Oh, my gos.h.!.+ Qiuyue, are you okay?"
"Ambulance! Call an ambulance! Quickly!"
Her friends finally caught up with her. They panicked and ran around like headless chickens. Mao Qiuyue groaned, rolled over to her side on the floor, and attempted to get up. She coughed. Her throat hurt from where the b.i.t.c.h hit her. She glared at the b.i.t.c.h who dared to do this to her, but the woman looked down on her with cold eyes that made her s.h.i.+ver. No! The h.e.l.l she would allow the b.i.t.c.h to scare her. She scrambled to her feet and almost fell again on her b.u.t.t if not for her friend catching her. The hit affected her more than she expected. Her head felt like it was spinning. She struggled to hold her balance. "You bi—"
"I have a bodycam both in my front body and back," the woman who backhanded her said coldly. "I can show it to the authorities as evidence to prove that you are the one who moved to attack me first. So what I did is purely self-defence."
Mao Qiuyue"s curse stuck in her throat. Her friends looked at the cold woman in disbelief…and fear.
A man carrying a child squeezed through the growing crowd. "Qiuyue?" Long Hui asked. He was perplexed by the situation. Then his expression turned suspicious. "What are you doing here? Are you following me?"
She was enraged at his reaction. "You think that I"m following you?!" She pointed at the cold-faced woman who hit her. "Why don"t you ask this shameless b.i.t.c.h instead?! I saw her stalking you!"
"Stalking me?"
"Yes! She was following after helping you stop that ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of yours from throwing a tantrum!"
Long Hui"s expression turned ugly. "I dare you to say that again about my son to my face!"
"What? It"s true, isn"t it? That kid is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! An ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Little Jun was frightened at the ugly woman screaming at him. So he started howling at the top of his lungs.
The spectators were angered by Mao Qiuyue"s viciousness. "Whoa, lady! How can you talk like that about a child? Can"t you be any more inhuman?"
"Poor child. If someone dares to treat my own child like that in front of me, I"m sorry, but that person will end up in the hospital. I don"t care if I get arrested. n.o.body treats my child like that!"
"Is that the child"s father? The woman just called the child a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. What"s the story here?"
Long Hui flushed after hearing the crowd gossiping about them. His lips pressed into a thin line.
"Don"t make a scene here, Qiuyue. Let"s go talk somewhere else private."
Mao Qiuyue slapped his hand away. "No!" Then she looked around. "You want to hear the whole story?"
He glared at her. "Qiuyue, don"t you dare."
"I"ll tell you the whole story!" She pointed at Long Hui. "This is my husband!" Then she pointed at Little Jun. "And this is his b.a.s.t.a.r.d son with his mistress!"
In an instant, the crowd"s opinion s.h.i.+fted in favour of her. They sent Long Hui dirty, judgmental looks. This scared Little Jun even more. The poor child thought that the people were scolding him. He cried even louder.
Long Hui hugged his son more tightly and tried to cover his head protectively. "Don"t twist the truth, Qiuyue!"
She sneered. "I"m twisting the truth?! Tell everyone. Are you married to me or not? Is that ugly child your illegitimate son or not? You can"t answer, right? It"s because everything that I said is true!"
"Bad monstah! Bad!!! Uwaaaaaah! Go away, bad monstah! Junjun scayed! Mommi! Mama! Papa! Anko Han! Waaaaaaaaaah!!! Chechup! Baykohn! Ashkweem! Popkohn! Gwaby! Junjun scayed! Bad monstah, scawy! Uwaaaaaaaah!!!" (Bad monster! Bad!!! Uwah! Go away, bad monster! Junjun is scared! Mommy! Mama! Papa! Uncle Yehan! Wah!!! Ketchup! Bacon! Ice Cream! Popcorn! Gravy! Junjun is scared! Bad monster is scary! Uwah!!!)
"Who are you calling a monster? Shut up, you ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!"
Mao Qiuyue lunged at Long Hui and reached for Little Jun with her claws before any of her friends could stop her. But before she could reach them, someone flew and threw her to the floor. "Ugh!" Her breath was knocked out of her as she face-planted on the floor. She couldn"t even scream from the impact. Before she knew it, she was lying on her stomach on the floor with someone twisting her arms behind her back. Then a knee was pushed on her back, followed by a person"s full weight pressing her down to the floor.
People started screaming again. "What are you doing?! Get off her!"
"Help!"
"a.s.sault! Call the police! This is physical a.s.sault!"
Mao Qiuyue"s friends attempted to help her, but a group of scary-looking people blocked them. They wore regular clothing, but their expressions and overall aura were too cold and intimidating. It took a few moments for Mao Qiuyue to catch her breath. She struggled against the person on the top of her back but to no avail. Finally, she twisted her head and looked behind her. It was the b.i.t.c.h who backhanded her earlier!
"Get off me! s.l.u.t, how dare you treat me this way! I"m Mao Qiuyue! My father is the chairman of Mao Textiles! My father-in-law is the head of Long Industries! You"ll regret doing this to me!"
Long Hui watched as his son"s bodyguards treated his wife like a criminal. For a moment, he almost wanted to protect her. But when he felt his son"s arms wrapped tightly around his neck and listened to the child"s frightened cries, his heart hardened for his wife.
The woman called his son an ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of so many people. As a father, this was a direct insult. Even though Mao Qiuyue was his legal wife, he couldn"t just excuse her words to his son just like that. With a last look at his wife struggling on the floor, he turned his back on her and carried his son away from this crowded place. Another group of bodyguards formed a protective circle around the father and son as they walked away from the commotion. "Hui! Long Hui! Where are you going?! Are you leaving me just like that?! How dare you?!!!" Mao Qiuyue couldn"t believe her eyes while watching her husband walk away from her without even glancing back. What kind of husband was this? Useless!
Hateful!
Some of the concerned people among the crowd stepped forward and were about to help, but the civilian-clothed bodyguards blocked them. One of the disguised bodyguards explained to the crowd, "We"re the child"s bodyguards. Please understand that we"re only doing our job—to protect our little master from danger, including this female attacker. We aren"t doing anything that violates the law. This is considered self-defence, not a.s.sault. My colleagues and I all have bodycams to prove our case."
The crowd began to settle down after hearing the explanation. Although the people still had a lot of opinions about the situation, they no longer bothered to stand up for the woman being pressed to the floor. The one who was pressing down on her was a fellow woman. They also witnessed that it was indeed Mao Qiuyue who moved to attack first. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com.

Regardless of what she said about her husband having an illegitimate son, it wasn"t good to attack such a young child. She should have just targeted her husband, not the child.
"Shameless!"
"Liar!"
Shoes and slippers began raining down from out of nowhere. They landed around Mao Qiuyue, not hitting her at all, but it was clear that she was the target.
A new angry mob appeared. Most of them were barefoot or wearing socks. The others were in the middle of taking their footwear off to throw at Mao Qiuyue.
"How dare you hurt our dear Little Junjun like that?! Unforgivable! Shame on you!"
"Protect our Boss Iris" nephew and G.o.dson!"
"You dare to call our cute Little Junie boy a mistress" child? Do you have p.o.o.p in your brain or what?! Come on! Tell everyone the real truth! That you were the mistress first! The real homewrecker!"
"f.u.c.k! I really want to beat up this shameless homewrecker with my mighty slippers! Which part of our dear Little Jun is an ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d? He"s so cute! He looks like our Boss Iris! This b.i.t.c.h is not only shameless and vicious, but she"s also blind as h.e.l.l! She"s the one who"s ugly with the face she bought from a plastic surgeon, and yet she has the audacity to call a natural cutie like our dear Little Jun ugly? Gah! I"m so angry!"
Mao Qiuyue, her friends and the crowd were alarmed by these new arrivals. Even the bodyguards didn"t know how to react. At first, they thought that they were attackers but quickly realized that they were…er, allies. Right?
And that wasn"t the end yet. More people arrived in the same manner. Footwear quickly flew, landing near Mao Qiuyue but not hitting her. "I really want to hit her, but KittyBaby said that we shouldn"t to avoid us being slapped with a physical a.s.sault charge. s.h.i.+t!"
"Where"s the b.i.t.c.h who hurt our Baby Junjun?! Quick, show your ugly face! Let me slap you with my mighty slippers of justice!"
This wasn"t the end but only the beginning. Another group arrived. "Is this the place?"
"I think so. Look at the GPS pin that PantherBaby sent us. It should be here."
