The old lady held onto the young man's hand and refused to let go: "Son, you're finally here. The two people across the street stole all our money. It was five hundred yuan! I was just about to ask them to give it back, but they refused to give it back."
The young man frowned, and a trace of panic flashed through his mind.
"Mom... could there be some misunderstanding here?"
"What kind of misunderstanding could there be?" The old lady was unhappy. "They are the most sneaky among us. They don't even allow people to search them. It must be..."
"Just shut up!" Lu Shiyan could no longer bear it. His many years of family education had prevented him from saying anything too unpleasant.
"Are you looking at me for nothing? Not to mention 500 yuan, 5,000 yuan is not even worth a strand of my wife's hair."
"What's the matter? Is your 500 yuan a lot? How can 500 yuan be considered a whole fortune for a family?"
"If your eyes are not good, you can go to the hospital. We really don't care about your 500 yuan!"
"Not only is his eyesight bad, but his brain is also problematic. This thief stole something and is still waiting there, right? Do you think everyone is like you, waiting and suspecting whoever they see?"
Lu Shiyan was really angry. In the past twenty-four years, he had handled everything very calmly. This was the first time he lost his temper like today.
These words made the old lady so angry that she was out of breath.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but want to applaud Lu Shiyan.
It made her feel physically comfortable.
She stood up appropriately and expressed her position: "My boyfriend is right, we wouldn't even pick up the 500 yuan if it fell on the ground!"
Everyone sneered, come on, that's 500 yuan, the whole family would have to work without eating or drinking for a year to save that much money.
The old lady was extremely delighted, only the young man on the side was panicking.
He wasn't as dumb as his mother. He saw the clothes these two people were wearing. The fabrics were very good. It seemed like they really weren't short of money...
As everyone was laughing, the lobby manager of the department store hurried over.
He also heard that some comrades in the building had their money stolen, so he wanted to come over to help, but he happened to see Lu Shiyan.
He called out with a smile: "Shi Yan?"
Lu Shiyan nodded slightly. He had some impression of this man. He was his elementary school classmate. They hadn't seen each other for a while and were not very familiar with each other. Some time ago, Lu Shiyan didn't even invite him to his wedding.
"My dear officer, it's been a long time since we last met."
Lu Shiyan: “It’s been a while.”
"I heard you got married?"
"Yeah." Lu Shiyan felt better and took Gu Qingcheng's hand, "This is my wife."
Gu Qingcheng also nodded politely: "Hello."
His graceful manners and exquisite facial features formed a sharp contrast with the grannies who were throwing a tantrum.
The lobby director originally wanted to say a few more words to Lu Shiyan. After all, he knew that among so many classmates, he was the most successful and promising one. If he could get closer to him now, maybe he could help him later.
Lu Shiyan said with a fake smile: "There is no time to reminisce about the past. My wife and I were mistaken for thieves who stole money just now."
"What?"
"you?"
"Steal money?"
"How is this possible!?"
The lobby director laughed loudly twice: "Even if the earth explodes, you, Lu Shiyan, will not steal anything. Everyone knows that your family's conditions are second to none in the entire Jiang City, and no one dares to claim to be first..."
The lobby director joked a few words. Just now, he saw Lu Shiyan was anxious to talk to him and didn't notice the people standing next to him.
Suddenly, he saw the old lady rolling on the ground, as if she realized something and said in shock.
"Were you really mistaken for stealing money?"
Lu Shiyan nodded.
The lobby director immediately became serious and said to the woman on the ground, "Comrade, we will help you with your lost money, but please don't make a scene here and disrupt public order."
As soon as the old lady stopped crying, the young man next to her quickly pulled her up from the ground: "Mom, please, let's go quickly..."
The old lady lay on the ground and couldn't get up: "Then...what about my money?"
"Mom, let's go back and think of a solution. Don't embarrass yourself here..."
The old lady didn't know what to do at this time. She had heard the conversation between the lobby director and the man just now. She never expected that the man's family conditions were so good. No wonder he didn't even want to look at the five hundred yuan dropped on the ground.
She got up from the ground like a clown and stumbled after her son.
"You want to leave after the provocation? There is no such good thing."
Lu Shiyan snorted coldly, "Don't you want to search me? I can. Come with me to the Public Security Bureau and let the police search me. I want to see if I have your food coupons in front of everyone."
The great pressure made the old lady shiver all over.
The young man suppressed his fear and said, "Comrade... just now my mother was too anxious and said something she shouldn't have said. Please don't take it to heart."
Lu Shiyan: "You are so mean, you can't forget it. I'll ask you one last time, do you want to be searched?"
The young man swallowed and said, "No... I won't search anymore..."
Lu Shiyan gave him a cold look and said, "Since you are not going to search anymore, then remember to go back and apologize in the newspaper. Don't miss any of the apology requirements, otherwise this matter will not end."
Having said that, Lu Shiyan didn't even look at the two people on the ground. He took Gu Qingcheng's hand and walked away with bags in his hands.
