Minglu raised an eyebrow; the service was truly attentive.

She got out of the car and said calmly, "Thank you for today, goodbye!"

Nie Yuchen gave her a deep look, then got out of the car. Facing Mingluo's surprised gaze, he smiled slightly, "I've been running around with you all day, shouldn't you buy me a cup of coffee?"

Even he, a capitalist who is often criticized, isn't as stingy as her.

Minglu glanced around the coffee shop. "Today isn't a good day. I'll treat you another day."

"Today it is." Nie Yuchen grabbed Mingluo's wrist and decisively walked inside.

Mingluo: "?"

You choose not to take the path to heaven, but barge into the gates of hell when there are none.

Don't pull my wrist.

She slapped Nie Yuchen's hand away.

Nie Yuchen touched his hand that had been hit and said meaningfully, "You pulled me at the market earlier too. You can't be so hypocritical."

“…” Mingluo took a deep breath. She had pulled him back because she was afraid he would be entangled by something evil.

If she pulls him again next time, she'll turn Nie Yuchen into a dog!

She said meaningfully, "You can go in, but if anything happens later and you get caught up in it, don't blame me for not warning you."

“No problem!” Nie Yuchen glanced inside with a deep look in his eyes. He wanted to see what the person who had made an appointment with Mingluo looked like.

However, there was no suspicious person inside.

Qian Xiulan has not arrived yet.

Minglu ordered coffee for Nie Yuchen before calling Qian Xiulan.

Soon, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside. Through the window, Mingluo saw Qian Xiulan with a sharp and mean face, and Ming Jiaojiao, who looked like a delicate white flower.

Ming Jiaojiao walked to the entrance of the coffee shop but did not come in; instead, she let her mother go in first.

Minglu watched this scene thoughtfully, then smiled with amusement.

It seems that Ming Jiaojiao also knows that her mother is shameful and is unwilling to come in with her.

Poor Qian Xiulan was determined to stand up for her daughter, but her daughter disliked her.

interesting!

She whispered to Nie Yuchen, "Sit here and drink your coffee, don't come out!"

After saying that, he got up and went to another seat, a corner that would provide good cover for Nie Yuchen.

Nie Yuchen frowned; Mingluo was right.

However, the word "乖乖" (guāi guāi) is used by elders to address younger people. Why would a little girl like her think it's appropriate to use that word on him?

Wasn't he manly enough?

Nie Yuchen looked at herself over and over again, falling into deep self-doubt.

As soon as Qian Xiulan entered, her gaze immediately fell on Mingluo like a radar.

Her eyes lit up. She felt that Mingluo was too eye-catching. In this coffee shop with its deliberately dim atmosphere, Mingluo was so bright that she could be seen at a glance.

She immediately curled her lip, feeling a deep jealousy. It seemed that Mingluo, that bitch, was living a very comfortable life in the big city. No wonder Jiaojiao suffered such a great loss.

She walked over with an air of superiority, plopped down opposite Mingluo, and immediately pointed at her nose and cursed, "Mingluo, you've got some nerve, daring to hang up on me! Do you believe I'll go to the school right now and make a scene, so you'll be too ashamed to continue your studies?"

Minglu laughed. "Sure, go ahead and make a scene now. It'll be a good opportunity for Ming Jiaojiao's boyfriend to see what his future mother-in-law is like, and see if he still has the courage to date someone like Ming Jiaojiao!"

"You little slut, are you threatening me? Do you still consider me your aunt?" Qian Xiulan's face turned bright red, and she clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could smash Mingluo's beautiful face with one punch so that her precious husband wouldn't fly away.

Minglu scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Why didn't Ming Jiaojiao come in with you? Because she knows how shameful you are as a mother! Your daughter doesn't even treat you like a mother, yet you expect me to treat you like an aunt? Have you lost your mind?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qian Xiulan glanced at her daughter in alarm and found that Ming Jiaojiao was indeed hiding far away, standing under the telephone pole, looking very pitiful.

How could such a delicate daughter argue with someone?

How dare this bitch spread rumors about her daughter?

Qian Xiulan immediately felt that she could no longer tolerate it.

She raised her hand and slapped Mingluo, intending to beat her up first. Even if it went to the police station, it would be a family dispute, and the police couldn't interfere with the elder disciplining the younger generation.

Suddenly...

A cup of scalding hot coffee was splashed onto Qian Xiulan's face. Qian Xiulan screamed instantly and quickly took out tissues to wipe the coffee and her face, afraid that she would be burned.

She uttered a harsh, venomous curse.

"Mingluo, you shameless slut, you even dared to splash people, you are a truly ill-mannered thing, a worthless wretch born of a mother but not taught by one."

"Smack!"

Minglu slapped Qian Xiulan across the face, staring at her with icy eyes, and said slowly, "From now on, if you curse me, I'll slap you."

"You bitch, how dare you! I'll beat you to death!" Qian Xiulan was used to being domineering in her hometown, and this was the first time in her life that someone had hit her in the face like this. She immediately jumped up and rushed towards Mingluo.

Nie Yuchen's face turned ashen. He strode over and was about to throw Qian Xiulan to the ground.

But then Mingluo swiftly slapped Qian Xiulan twice, sending her back to her sofa seat.

Nie Yuchen stopped in his tracks and looked at Mingluo in surprise.

That was a really hard slap...

He felt like he was superfluous...

Qian Xiulan felt dizzy and her face was burning with pain. When she touched it, she found that a huge bump had swelled up.

She stared at Mingluo with a vicious and resentful look in her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

She hated Mingluo to the core, but dared not utter a single curse word again.

Mingluo felt that the whole world was peaceful.

She slowly wiped the coffee stains off her hands with a wet wipe, and said casually, "Now we can talk properly, what exactly do you want from me?"

Qian Xiulan sat up, feeling dizzy and disoriented. She glanced outside and saw her daughter still staring blankly at everything like a delicate little white flower. She hadn't come in at all, nor had she moved an inch.

Qian Xiulan felt a little uneasy.

She said, feeling aggrieved, "Mingluo, can you drop the case? I'm sorry as your aunt, but Jiaojiao didn't. That man doesn't like you anymore, you can't force him to stay, can you? Isn't dragging Jiaojiao into this just retaliation? Besides, how could Jiaojiao do such a thing? Our Jiaojiao wouldn't even step on an ant. You should think about whether you offended someone to get hit by someone."

"She doesn't even care when you, her own mother, are beaten. What feelings could she possibly have for me? Stealing her sister's boyfriend, showing off how attentive he is to her sister in the hospital—aren't these things easy for her to do? Don't even dream about getting the case closed," Mingluo said calmly.

"Mingluo! How could you say that to me?"
