Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 285

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 285

Before Lin Ruixi could even finish her apology, the woman’s hand hit her squarely on her face. Lin Ruixi had never been slapped in her life, and her eyes widened immediately. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

Lin Xinyan froze. The last thing she had expected was for the woman to hit her daughter. She pulled Lin Ruixi into her embrace and glared at the woman. “How could you slap a child?!”

“Why did she run around in the first place? You’re such a bad parent too. Look at my clothes! It’s new! Give me the thousand I spent on it now!” The woman yelled at her. Her red lips, thick foundation, and her ugly snarl made her look like an unruly shrew.

“I didn’t mean to…” Lin Ruixi cried.

“That’s it?” The woman said arrogantly.

“How much do you want?” A low voice growled.

The man strode over with a scary frown.

He was about to go over when Lin Ruixi ran into the woman, yet a passing car got in his way. In just those few seconds, the woman had slapped his daughter.

The woman turned around at the sound of his voice.

Zong Jinghao was wearing a handmade suit under his unbuttoned coat which fluttered behind him, enhancing his domineering aura.

The woman shivered instinctively, the prior arrogance nowhere to be found. “This girl ran into me.”

“I didn’t mean it,” Lin Ruixi repeated, sniffing.

Lin Xinyan hugged her daughter tight. She had never laid a finger on her own daughter, yet some stranger decided to give her a harsh slap out of nowhere.

“How much does your clothes cost?” Zong Jinghao asked, taking out his wallet from his pocket. He didn’t have enough cash, so he signed a cheque instead. “Is a hundred thousand enough?”

He looked up.

The woman swallowed. A hundred thousand? Is he kidding her?

“I want cash!” The woman insisted, forcing herself to stay calm.

He didn’t have that much cash on him at the moment, so he gave Su Zhan a call. “I don’t care what method you use, but get me a hundred thousand in cash right now.”

Su Zhan didn’t know how to react. A hundred thousand in cash? What’s going on?

“Why do you need so much money all of a sudden…”

“Get it here in ten minutes!”

Zong Jinghao hung up after that. A crowd had formed around them by then.

Quiet chattering filled the air.

“That costs a thousand at the most,” someone whispered. “My bestie has the same coat and she’s asking for a hundred thousand?”

“I know right! She’s just a little kid, and it’s not like she did it on purpose. Why is she being so unreasonable?”

“Didn’t y’all see it? She hit the kid!” Someone who was there earlier said.

“She hit a child?”

“Look at that poor kid. Her face is red!”

“How could she? She’s such a cute child!”

The woman began to panic when she realized that she had messed with the wrong people. The man standing before her seemed to be a handful.

“Fine. I don’t need your compensation.”

Zong Jinghao didn’t even bother looking up. “You don’t get to say if this is over..”

Fear crept up the woman’s throat, though she put on a brave front. “I’m not asking for you to compensate me anymore. Why can’t you just let me go?”
