Chapter 117 Waiting in the shadows, I'll be relieved once his face is ruined.
Huang Ying was so angry that her hands were shaking.
On the contrary, Shi Yu was very calm. She grabbed Huang Ying's arm and pressed it down, signaling her to calm down.
"Uncle Zhang, right?" Shi Yu looked at him.
"yes!"
"Did you see me stealing ham with your own eyes?" Shi Yu asked, emphasizing each word.
Uncle Zhang's eyes flickered.
Damn it!
This girl named Shi Yu is clearly just a little girl, so why does she have such sharp eyes?
Never mind.
Lu Yizhou was the junior he valued most, and he absolutely could not stand by and watch him be bewitched by Shi Yu, a woman with questionable character.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Oh!"
Having received an affirmative answer, Shi Yu let out a cold laugh.
It's... pretty speechless.
With witnesses available, Shi Yu had nothing to say. From suspicion to confirmation, everyone's gaze towards Shi Yu changed.
"How could she do such a thing? You can never judge a book by its cover!"
"Who can argue with that!"
"I knew it! They're widows and orphans, without a man by their side, yet they have food and drink. How come they live such a comfortable life? Maybe they stole all that stuff."
"Oh! I used to like her so much."
Everyone shook their heads.
With a narrowing of his eyes, Shi Yu's gaze sharpened.
She slowly stood up.
"Listen carefully, I bought this ham with my own money." As she spoke, Shi Yu looked down and rummaged through her bag.
Fortunately, the ham was imported, so it was subject to tax and required registration.
So when she bought it, the shop owner gave her a receipt.
Shi Yu took out the receipt.
“I have receipts to prove it.”
Everyone took a closer look.
Absolutely!
The receipt clearly records the name of the purchased item, the time, the amount, and the place of purchase.
It really is.
It can't be faked.
The fish is innocent.
"I'm so sorry, Shi Yu, we wronged you."
"We apologize to you. You're so magnanimous, you shouldn't blame us, right?" Everyone looked a little embarrassed and looked at Shi Yu with embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter!"
Shi Yu was naturally magnanimous towards those who believed everything they heard.
Because they were not the ones who started the trouble.
As for the truly bad guys...
We certainly can't let this opportunity slip by easily!
Shi Yu turned her head and looked at Xu Manyu with a half-smile.
Not daring to meet Shi Yu's gaze, she instinctively shrank back, feeling uneasy.
They are trying hard to make themselves less noticeable.
Xu Manyu had never bought such high-end imported goods before and had no idea that she would receive an invoice when she bought them.
Actually, not only her, but no one else had bought it either, so naturally they didn't know.
Unexpectedly, we were caught off guard.
"Xu Manyu, apologize!" Shi Yu said firmly.
"I……"
Xu Manyu's nose almost crooked from anger.
Apologize to Shi Yu?
How could you do that?
Does she even care about her reputation anymore?
"If you don't want an apology, then I'll have to use my own methods, and resort to force, to seek justice."
Shi Yu threateningly shook her wrist as she slowly moved closer to Xu Manyu.
With each step, a sharp and fierce aura emanated from his entire body.
Xu Manyu's heart tightened.
She looked around frantically, wanting to seek help.
Unfortunately, everyone, including Lu Yizhou, had their eyes elsewhere and chose to ignore it.
Isolated and helpless.
Nobody was willing to help her.
Now, Xu Manyu panicked even more.
At the same time, I chickened out.
Her face flushed red and then turned pale. She quickly apologized, "I'm...I'm sorry, Shi Yu. I spoke carelessly. I won't do it again."
"Very good, remember what you said."
Then, Shi Yu looked at Uncle Zhang and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what do you say?"
She hadn't forgotten how Uncle Zhang had just sworn that he had seen her stealing.
Uncle Zhang didn't look well.
"Sorry, I must have misread it."
"Yeah?"
Shi Yu's eyes gleamed with scrutiny as she gave Zhang Bo a deep look.
This was the first time I had met him.
There was no enmity between them.
It seems he might have really misread it.
Therefore, Shi Yu didn't intend to hold a grudge against him and simply said two words calmly, "It's nothing!"
The little incident has passed.
Uncle Zhang returned to his original position, head down, and continued to pull out the pot with the eye bags in his hand.
Instead of feeling grateful for Shi Yu's magnanimity in not pursuing the matter, her eyes darkened...
...
The ship finally docked.
The crowd lined up and disembarked one by one in an orderly fashion.
On the shore, a man squatted in a corner with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the person walking down the river.
And this man was none other than Shi Daqiang.
He didn't know when Huang Ying would return, so he would spend his free time waiting at the dock.
He wanted to see if his insidious plan had succeeded.
Shi Yu and Huang Ying were the last to disembark.
Shi Daqiang craned his neck to take a look.
He was overjoyed.
Very good.
Huang Ying is truly disfigured.
Ha ha!
Now that she's become ugly, no other man will want her.
Before long, she'll come back to him obediently, like a dog.
Relieved, Shi Daqiang got up and left happily.
Shi Yu glanced at him and naturally saw him.
Her lips curled slightly, forming a cold, sharp arc.
When the mother and daughter returned home, news of Huang Ying's disfigurement spread.
In the evening, after dinner, Huang Ying took a basin of water to the yard to splash water.
Whoosh!
The water stain formed an irregular shape on the ground.
After splashing water, Huang Ying was about to turn around when her gaze inadvertently fell on the empty corner of the wall, and she paused in her tracks.
His expression momentarily dazed.
There used to be a shovel there.
The shovel was broken and unusable, but Uncle Hao insisted on taking it to fix it for her after he found out.
Back then, he was passionate and proactive, and the way he looked at her made her heart race.
But now...
The news that he returned disfigured must have already spread throughout the island!
The shovel was fixed a long time ago, but there's still no sign of anything happening on Uncle Hao's end...
Thinking of this, Huang Ying subconsciously bit her lip.
"Mom! Don't worry, Uncle Hao will definitely come." Shi Yu, who came out, saw this scene and couldn't help but smile. "I think I didn't misjudge him."
"That good-for-nothing child!" Huang Ying looked embarrassed. She glared at Shi Yu reproachfully and said haltingly, "Mother didn't mean... didn't mean..."
"Not thinking about anything?" Shi Yu's smile deepened.
"You!"
Huang Ying was speechless yet indulgent at Shi Yu's mischievousness.
Shi Yu stepped forward and took her arm. The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they were about to walk back.
Just then, someone banged on the door.
“Look, this person isn’t coming!” Shi Yu smiled after exchanging a glance with him.
Although Huang Ying didn't speak, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve slightly.
"Come on, Mom! Let's go open the door!"
The mother and daughter went over and opened the door.
"Hao..."
But to everyone's surprise, upon seeing the uninvited guest outside the door, Shi Yu's words came to an abrupt halt.
Both of their faces darkened.
