Hearing those whispers, Yun Bixue understood what they meant . She actually didn't think that Chen Pei had tried to steal today . However, she found it hard to believe that Meng Xinyan had tried to strangle her daughter . Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its own offspring . What was she thinking?
She thought that although Su Lenghan might not have done a good job handling certain things, Meng Xinyan must have made him reach his limit if he didn't allow her to return to their home .
Therefore, she guessed that this didn't happen out of nowhere . It was highly likely that Meng Xinyan had done something unforgivable .
Yun Bixue clicked her tongue as she wondered about it . After a while, she hooked her arm around Xie Limo's and said, “Let's go . This has nothing to do with us . ”
Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's head and answered, “Okay!”
“Hubby, if I were to do something about this, will you think that I'm being silly again?”
“My dear, you wouldn't do something like that now, would you?”
Yun Bixue pursed her lips . “You still know me best . ” It was true . After experiencing so much, she long learned that she couldn't be too kindhearted . Those evildoers didn't deserve her attention—she should only be kind to those who were worthy . This was the way of survival .
After checking out and stepping outside, someone almost knocked into them while turning in their direction . Luckily, Xie Limo pulled Yun Bixue aside . They avoided that person and didn't collide into her .
However, their groceries on the cart got thrown all over the ground .
Yun Bixue couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, “Watch where you're going!”
Xie Limo held Yun Bixue and took a quick glance at the vegetables on the ground . His exquisite eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at the person in front of them .
Yun Bixue turned around to look at the person who almost bumped into her . It was Meng Xinyan!
Meng Xinyan looked at Yun Bixue with jealousy and clenched her jaw . “Yun Bixue, you were just standing there and blocked the path on purpose . You wanted to make fun of me, didn't you?”
“Meng Xinyan, you're crazy . I don't want to argue with you . You should pay for all of these on the ground . These vegetables aren't expensive, so they should only be worth a few dollars . ” She would no longer be softhearted towards Meng Xinyan . A kind person would only be taken advantage of, and she finally understood that .
Meng Xinyan looked at the vegetables on the ground . A few dollars? Recently, she sold her old designer bags to sustain her lifestyle . The meager monthly allowance that Su Lenghan was providing her was simply not enough . A few dollars was, indeed, not very much, so what would happen if she refused to pay up?
“Yun Bixue, don't abuse your status and malign me . You obviously didn't hold these vegetables tightly that's why you dropped them, and now you're trying to get money from me? In your dreams! Even if I have money, I won't give you a single cent!”
At this point, some of the passersby began to crowd around them . Yun Bixue didn't want this matter to blow up . She wouldn't care about Meng Xinyan anymore . She just felt that it wouldn't be nice to waste these vegetables .
Without a word, she began to squat down to pick up the vegetables . The damaged tomatoes and persimmons made her heart ache . Although she was earning a lot now, she had had a rough childhood . She didn't want to waste any food at all .
Xie Limo glared coldly at Meng Xinyan .
His glare made Meng Xinyan shiver . She was utterly afraid of Xie Limo . Being stared at by him like that, she felt her entire body freeze in fear .
Xie Limo didn't waste his breath on her and just gave Su Lenghan a call . He said a few words quietly, and it wasn't clear what Su Lenghan replied over the phone .
After ending the call, Xie Limo said coldly to Meng Xinyan, “Miss Meng, Su Lenghan said that if you don't even cherish and value these vegetables that only cost a few dollars, he won't give you any more allowance in the future . I'm sure Miss Meng wouldn't mind too!”
Yun Bixue wanted to laugh . Her husband was really tackling her right where it hurt the most . She placed the vegetables in the cart and glanced at Meng Xinyan . The latter's face was pale and was even turning a shade of green . She shivered and said, “No… No way . That's impossible . You're doing this on purpose…”
