Huo Jingchen nodded. "You're right. It's none of my business. But if you really had something urgent to do, you would have left long ago. There's no need to say that we've wasted your time!"
"It's obviously you who wanted to see it, there's no need to put the blame on us!"
What Huo Jingchen said made a lot of sense, and immediately someone agreed with him.
"That's right, it was obviously you who wanted to see it, but you can't just blame it on others!"
After being told this, the man looked embarrassed and kept silent with his mouth pursed.
As soon as this happened, someone spoke to Huo Jingchen.
"Little brother, are you related to this girl? Why do you keep speaking for her?"
The people next to him immediately agreed, "Yes, you still want to help her pay the money. If you weren't her relative, I wouldn't believe it! Even if you have a lot of money, you shouldn't spend it like this!"
After a pause, he continued, "But, speaking of this matter, it's obvious that it was this little girl's fault, but why doesn't she admit it? I really don't understand!"
"Of course, she's afraid of being scolded by her elders when she gets home! I see this girl isn't working yet. You're talking about that much money, so her elders won't scold her, right?"
The other person nodded. "I think so too. If it were our child, he would definitely get scolded when he got home. After all, we would have to pay him fifty dollars, which is a lot. It's enough to cover my family's expenses for two months!"
However, there were also some who considered Li Mingxi's perspective, "I don't think that girl is from the city. I guess her family can't come up with that much money all at once!"
"If you ask me, this bicycle might be borrowed!"
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Huo Jingchen spoke again.
"What the big brother said just now is wrong. She and I are not related. I just saw that it was wrong for them to bully a girl like that, so I stepped forward!"
Once these words were said, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Immediately, someone started shouting.
"Oh, no, comrade, what you said is not right. How could it be that this little girl was bullied? It was clearly she who bullied the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
"It's not like we're blind and can't see! What's the matter? You're attracted to the girl and want to be nice to her, but you don't have to slander the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
After saying this, he no longer cared about Huo Jingchen's reaction and started chatting with the people around him.
As for Huo Jingchen, his face darkened as soon as the man finished speaking, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
Li Mingxi felt the air temperature suddenly dropped several degrees while standing nearby.
Glancing at Huo Jingchen, Li Mingxi suddenly had an idea in his mind: Is this the so-called aura of a big boss?
Looking at Huo Jingchen's cold eyes again, Li Mingxi felt frightened as she watched from the side.
At the same time, the person being stared at by Huo Jingchen suddenly felt a chill.
I couldn't help but wonder if the weather had suddenly turned cold. I looked around and saw that everyone was still the same.
Soon he felt something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw the young man staring at him coldly!
Immediately, he shrank his neck!
He just said a few words. Why is this person looking at him like this? Is he sick?
Besides, so many people said so, he wasn't the only one, so what was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, the man straightened up again!
Huo Jingchen didn't look at that person again, but more and more people began to point at Li Mingxi.
Seeing more and more people starting to talk about him, Li Mingxi became really angry and immediately fought back.
"I just told you that I didn't hit the person, why don't you believe me?"
When asked this question, those who were still discussing immediately stopped talking.
Seeing that no one was talking nonsense anymore, Li Mingxi continued to speak.
"If it was really because of me that this lady was injured so badly, I would have paid compensation without hesitation. But now this matter has nothing to do with me, why should I take the money?"
After saying this, she didn't care about everyone's reaction. She took a step forward and looked directly into Guihua's eyes and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, was your mother-in-law really hit by me?"
Guihua didn't expect that at this time, Li Mingxi was still struggling with this issue.
So, when Li Mingxi suddenly asked her this, she was actually stunned for a moment.
However, she soon came to her senses, thought about what her mother-in-law had said to her before, and immediately wiped away her tears.
"Little girl, how can you say that? How could my mother-in-law not have been hit by you? If you hadn't hit her, how could she be like this now?"
It looked as pitiful as it could be.
The onlookers felt very uncomfortable when they saw her like this, and then they looked at Li Mingxi's nonchalant expression, and they were angry no matter how they looked at her!
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and immediately pointed at Li Mingxi and started yelling.
"You little girl, at this time, you are still thinking about bullying others? What's the matter? We are still standing here, and you are like this. If we weren't here, would you have run away long ago?"
As if he felt that his tone was a bit harsh, he slowed down and continued speaking.
"You said you didn't hit the person, so why did the old lady become like this? I don't believe that this healthy person, who was not injured, ended up like this."
"Besides, if it wasn't someone you hit, how could they have wrongly accused you?"
"If you ask me, stop quibbling!"
Then, he looked Li Mingxi up and down and continued speaking.
"Little girl, you look quite young, and I don't know who you learned this from. You're like this at such a young age!"
"If you were to tell me, you're just shirking your responsibility, little girl. You don't look that old, but you're like this now, what will happen in the future?"
There was a hint of sadness in the tone of his last words. I don’t know if he was heartbroken by Li Mingxi’s behavior or if he was grieving about something else.
Others didn't notice anything different about him, but they subconsciously felt that what he said made sense.
This little girl can be like this now, so she might do something bad in the future!
After having this thought in mind, they looked at Li Mingxi as if they were looking at their own junior who had made a mistake.
The look in his eyes was full of disapproval.
Being looked at like this by everyone, Li Mingxi felt deeply powerless.
She didn't know why it was so difficult for her to explain such a simple matter.
She really couldn't understand why these people were so unwilling to believe her?
Is this matter really over today? Do I really have to pay money and let the conspiracy of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law succeed?
