Qiao Yu's attitude was so humble that he was practically kneeling before the woman.

The woman persisted, roughly pulling Qiao Yu's hair and dragging her forward.

Passersby couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to speak up for Qiao Yu.

The middle-aged woman not only didn't think she had done anything wrong or feel ashamed, but she also raised her chin and retorted sarcastically to the kind passerby: "Don't you know your own limitations? Who gave you the right to meddle in my family affairs?"

"It's none of your business to discipline her!"

The middle-aged woman launched into a tirade of abuse at the passersby, who, unable to contain their anger, decided to mind their own business.

Qiao Yu stumbled and fell to the ground. "Auntie, let go of me! It hurts!"

"Heh, so you still feel pain?"

"I paid so much money to send you to college, and you're such an ungrateful wretch!"

"Heh, so you think you can just run away from college?"

The middle-aged woman glared at Qiao Yu with a ferocious expression, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't even think about it!"

"I'm using my money to support you, so you have to listen to me!"

Qiao Yu clasped her hands together and kept begging the middle-aged woman for mercy.

"Auntie, I promise I'll listen to you from now on. Please forgive me, sob sob, I really know I was wrong."

No matter how much Qiao Yu begged for mercy, the middle-aged woman showed no sign of letting go.

She grabbed Qiao Yu by the hair and lifted her up.

Qiao Yu groaned in pain, her face contorted in agony.

"Heh, I've already given you a choice!"

"Either go on a blind date, or find someone yourself!"

"And you?"

The middle-aged woman roared, her eyes blazing with fury, "How did you do this?"

Qiao Yu looked at the woman with tears in her eyes and said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I shouldn't have lied to you."

"I...I just want to study hard. After I finish school, I'll earn money and pay you back, Auntie!"

The middle-aged woman, her face contorted, roared, "Give me back my money!"

"You, a worthless piece of trash, how can you possibly pay me back?"

"I raised you and saved your life. Do you think money can repay my kindness?!"

Mingyao's face darkened; she wished she could slap this middle-aged woman right then and there.

She is Qiao Yu's aunt, and the fact that Qiao Yu can live with her means that she is her guardian.

Raising Qiao Yu was her duty, but she described it as an indebtedness that she could never repay.

"Hmph, the money you secretly earned from part-time jobs isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap!"

Qiao Yu was already sobbing uncontrollably, her pleading voice hoarse.

"Auntie, I promise I'll go to the bar obediently from now on and won't work secretly anymore."

"I promise I will listen to you, please let me go."

The middle-aged woman ignored Qiao Yu's pleas and lifted her up by her hair like she was a chick.

She said with a ferocious expression, "Why didn't you do this sooner?"

"When you secretly went to work behind my back, did you ever think about what I told you?"

"I found out you were working, and you still have the nerve to ask your cousin for help!"

"You can't fool me this time! You have to go on that blind date!"

"If Boss Zhang takes a liking to you, you'll be incredibly lucky!"

"I'll help you get your school expelled. You can just live a good life with Boss Zhang!"

The woman's words completely shattered Qiao Yu's resolve. She stared blankly at the woman, repeating over and over, "I don't want to drop out of school!"

"Auntie, I want to continue going to school."

"Please, I beg you, I promise I'll listen, please let me continue my schooling!"

The middle-aged woman dragged Qiao Yu forward, gritting her teeth as she said, "If you lie to me, don't even think about continuing your schooling!"

"Hmph, I shouldn't have listened to you when you graduated high school and let you go on to college!"

"And this is how you repay me?!"

Qiao Yu kept twisting her body and screaming, "Auntie, I want to continue going to school, please give me another chance!"

She kept begging for mercy, but the woman showed no pity and became even more determined to expel Qiao Yu from school.

Mingyao silently dialed the police number, then strode towards the woman.

She pretended not to see and bumped the woman's shoulder hard.

Before the woman could react, Mingyao deliberately raised her hand and slapped the woman hard across the face.

The sudden slap stunned the woman, and because she was unsteady on her feet, she fell to the ground.

Mingyao quickly covered her mouth, looking at the middle-aged woman with surprise and fear, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"I was in such a hurry that I accidentally took a picture of you!"

"Auntie, please don't be angry, I didn't mean to!"

Qiao Yu paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up when she saw Ming Yao.

Just as she was about to speak, Mingyao put her index finger to her lips and shook her head.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips into a thin line, not making a sound.

Mingyao turned around and apologized to the woman with deep remorse.

"Auntie, let me help you up."

The woman glared at Mingyao furiously and shouted, "Can't you watch where you're going?"

"You hit me, fine, but you also hit me! You did it on purpose!"

Mingyao kept bowing and apologizing, her eyes red, looking pitiful and heartbreaking.

"Auntie, I really didn't mean to!"

Mingyao's eyes were red and swollen as she reached out to pull the woman.

The woman snorted and tried to stand up on her own.

Unfortunately, he had no strength in his limbs and couldn't stand up at all.

Mingyao looked at the woman expectantly and said in a low voice, "Auntie, let me help you up."

The woman's face immediately turned as black as coal, and she reluctantly grabbed Mingyao's hand.
