From that angle, he could clearly see that it was the old lady behind the waiter who suddenly rushed out, causing this to happen.
The old woman was carrying a bundle on her back—a real bundle, the kind from the 1930s or 40s, made by tearing a piece of cloth into a square, putting things inside, and then tying a knot at the end.
Her package looked bulging, as if it contained a lot of things. I never thought that people would pack things like that these days.
When the old woman saw Zou Shijie looking her up and down, even noticing the package behind her, she immediately clutched it to her chest defensively and said, "What are you looking at? Don't even think about doing anything to me. I won't rob you of your virtue or your money."
Even Zou Shijie, who usually has great composure, was embarrassed by the old lady's two sentences.
Who would rob someone of their virtue? As for robbing them of their money, that's even more absurd.
There were quite a few people in the coffee shop who had just witnessed what happened, so now many are craning their necks to watch the spectacle.
Mo Jing stepped forward, looked at Zou Shijie's disheveled appearance, and said, "Go change your clothes first. That old man didn't do it on purpose, and I believe you won't pursue the matter."
Zou Shijie had no intention of making things difficult for the old lady; he was just confused by her words. After hearing Mo Jing's words, he felt it was not appropriate to stay there any longer.
After saying goodbye to her, I left again.
The old lady's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Mo Jing, as if she had seen a treasure. She then walked over to Mo Jing and said with a kind smile, "Young man, you are so kind! There aren't many young people like you who are brave enough to do good these days."
Mo Jing smiled. She had only said one sentence; there was no heroic act involved!
Moreover, Zou Shijie is not the kind of person who is petty or calculating.
After casually saying "You're welcome," he returned to his window seat.
But she soon discovered that the old woman had followed her, looking reluctant to part with her: "I'm an old woman who always repays kindness. Since I've received your favor, I must repay it. Do you like gold, jade, or jewelry? Or perhaps you young people prefer gemstones? I'll give them all to you."
Mo Jing's lips twitched slightly. This old lady was really enthusiastic!
Gold? Jade? Gemstones? Aren't these things all very valuable?
Seeing that Mo Jing clearly didn't take her words seriously, the old lady became a little anxious. She put the bag behind her on the table and said, "Don't you believe me? I really have these things."
As she spoke, she opened the packet of talcum powder, and a burst of light, refracted by the sunlight, almost blinded Mo Jing.
The package was filled with gold necklaces, gold bracelets, emerald green jade, fiery red gemstones, and even a few gold bars mixed in.
Mo Jing's forehead creased with three lines, and the corners of her mouth twitched again.
Did he just rob the Qin Emperor's tomb? Who would just wander around the streets with these things for no reason?
Moreover, with Mo Jing's discerning eye, she could immediately tell that everything inside was genuine.
At this moment, the old lady jumped out and said something that almost startled Mo Jing: "If you like them, you can take them all. Anyway, I have plenty of these things at home. I usually use them to prop up tables and chairs when I don't have room to put them."
