Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 205

Lu Xingzhi piggybacked Jiang Yao all the way to the parking lot until Jiang Yao insisted on walking by herself. There were a lot of people walking around and there were even many elderly people carrying their baskets to buy vegetables at the market. If the senior citizens were to see a man piggybacking a lady, they would think that they were offending public morality.

Just like what the old woman had told them, Wu Zhong's stall was easy to find. When they entered the market, they found the shoeshine stall near the market's entrance without having to ask around.

However, when they arrived at the stall, it was surrounded by crowds of people.

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi held hands as they squeezed into the crowd to find out the reason. It turned out that Wu Zhong's customer had accused him of damaging a shoe and now demanded Wu Zhong to pay for it.

The people around could not stand it anymore, and they shouted, "You must be honest! How could he have damaged your shoe by just polishing it? He only earned two cents by polishing your leather shoes, deducting the cost of the polishing oil, he only earned one cent from you, and yet, you want him to pay you twenty dollars for the leather shoes instead!? How could you con someone like that?"

"What's more, look at your leather shoes. Who knows how long you have been wearing it? What makes you think that you could ask him to pay you for a new pair of shoes? This is extortion!" The passersby said.

Despite having no knowledge regarding this matter, Jiang Yao could see that the man's leather shoes were certainly not damaged by the polishing. With just a mere glance, she could tell that it had been damaged when he accidentally kicked something while wearing it.

She looked at Lu Xingzhi and pulled his sleeve, whispering, "That customer must be a local ruffian trying to extort people!"
