Chapter 789 The Meddlesome Elderly Woman
Alex could finally relax after they left for the first-class cabin. There was no way they could cause him any
trouble now.
Since the plane was about to take off soon, he had no choice but to turn off his phone. With nothing else to do, he decided to rest his eyes while waiting for the plane to land.
However, someone on the plane was watching a video with the speakers on. It was so noisy that he couldn’t relax at all.
Alex turned to look and saw that it was the grandson of the elderly woman who had spoken to Shawn earlier. It seems like he’s got the volume at its loudest.
A flight attendant noticed what was happening and walked over. She told the elderly woman with a smile, “Hello. The plane is about to take off soon. Could you please turn off your phone?”
The elderly woman pursed her lips. “What’s wrong with my grandson watching his videos?”
Then, she mumbled, “How meddlesome.”
Though she had spoken softly, the flight attendant could still hear her.
At that, the latter froze. She had only become a flight attendant not too long ago. While she had gone through training, she had never met someone like this in real life. Her eyes instantly turned red after being insulted.
Nonetheless, it was still her job, so she couldn’t just leave. With the smile still on her face, she said, “Please turn off your phone, ma’am. You’re disturbing the other passengers.”
“Who am I disturbing now? My grandson wants to watch his videos. I spent so much money on this flight, but you’re not even allowing him to do what he wants. This is so unfair,” the elderly woman persisted.
Then, she patted on her grandson’s head and said affectionately, “Not even God can do anything to you, my baby boy. I’m going to let you finish watching your video.”
As she spoke, she glared at the flight attendant as if trying to pick a fight.
The latter gripped the corner of her skirt and could no longer smile. A panicked look flashed across her face as she didn’t know how to handle the matter at hand.
Alex couldn’t bear to watch her in such a tough position, and they were also delaying their flight. He felt the need to step in and help resolve the matter.
“You’re putting the flight attendant in a difficult position, ma’am. Hurry up and turn off your phone,” he persuaded.
To his surprise, the elderly woman became furious at his words. She berated him, “How is this any of your business? So what if I’m putting her in a difficult position? Is it not her job to serve us when she receives such high pay? Just shut up, will you?”
Alex had expected her to be stubborn. He didn’t want to continue arguing with her and decided to just snatch the phone from her grandson’s hand to turn it off.
Right then, a man sitting behind them spoke up, “Hey, you’re the one at fault. Hurry up and turn off your phone, will you? Or you can just get down from the plane.”
Hearing that, the old woman retorted, “Does this plane belong to you? How dare you ask me to get off the planc!”
