Stealing Your Heart Chapter 286

The crowd started to condemn the woman.

She was obviously in the wrong for slapping a child.

The woman felt so ashamed and the redness on her face spread to her neck, and she wished that the ground would just open up and swallow her. Then, she turned around to leave.

Su Zhan was quick to block her.

“You’re trying to escape now?” He asked with a serious expression.

“I said that you don’t need to compensate me anymore! What more do you want?” The woman bellowed, annoyed by all the jeering from the crowd.

“We must compensate you for your losses, and so you must pay us back for slapping this kid too!” Su Zhan said, raising his chin.

The woman’s heart was beating like crazy. She had not seen all these coming, and she had no other options but to call her husband for backup.

“L-let me make a call,” she stammered, pulling out her phone from her pocket to call her husband.

He picked up very quickly. He started growling before she could say anything, “Did you fall into a ditch or something? Why aren’t you back?”

“I-I’m near the bathroom,” the woman stuttered.

“So why aren’t you back?” The man repeated, clearly annoyed.

“I got blocked by someone,” the woman said, still trembling.

“What?!” The man yelled as his temper flared up thinking that someone was flirting with his wife. He alighted his car and stormed to the bathroom area. “Who dares to block my wife?”

“My dear…” The woman whispered gratefully, as though she had found herself a straw to grasp onto.

The man walked over and craned his neck. “Who’s flirting with my wife?”

“Who would even want to flirt with her with such look?” someone in the crowd said.

The man immediately flew into a rage as he was embarrassed by the fact that someone had just called his wife ugly.

“Who said that! Come out now!” The man yelled, gesturing wildly at the crowd.

“Mister, calm down. That person didn’t mean to say that your wife was ugly on the surface. They probably meant that she had an ugly heart,” a woman standing at the front of the crowd said.

That made it sound even worse. Being called ugly on the surface was one thing, but being ugly at heart meant that the person had no morals or was evil…either way, it didn’t mean anything good.

The man jabbed a finger in the woman’s direction. “Say that again?”

“Your wife has poor manners,” the woman explained.

The man was about to beat her up, but his wife pulled him back. “Don’t make a scene,” she whispered.

He was about to scold her when he noticed her soiled clothes. “Didn’t you spend a thousand on this? Why is it so dirty?”

“My daughter did it,” Zong Jinghao said coldly as he fixated his domineering gaze onto the man.

The man froze in shock.

“His daughter made me spill my noodles all over myself, and I slapped her out of anger.”

The man couldn’t hear what his wife said over the static in his brain.

It took a while before he finally recovered and said arrogantly, “Your daughter ruined my wife’s clothes, so you gotta pay up.”

“The compensation’s right here,” Su Zhan said, kicking the bag of money on the ground. The piercing red of the bank notes peeked through the opening, and the man looked down in utter surprise. That was a lot of money…
