The old lady became even angrier.
"How can this be! Qin, you, you..." The old lady was out of breath and speechless, pointing at Qin Nan and silent for a long time.
It was as if she was back to that time, and the feeling of inferiority, powerlessness, shame and indignation tore her apart, making her unable to utter a single word.
"You bitch..."
