Chapter 58 Being picked on for no apparent reason
Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao were strolling leisurely in the department store, happily purchasing items for their soon-to-be-born little life.
When I was buying the most important baby clothes and bottles, my good mood was suddenly broken by two women who appeared out of nowhere.
They interrupted her shopping without any reason, disrupting Jiang Ruoxi's interest in shopping in the department store and making her lose the mood to continue shopping. The two women's faces turned pale and blue with embarrassment from the gossips of the onlookers, and they left in shame.
Thinking that the matter was over, the two planned to go to the food area to pick up some snacks and then go to the state-owned restaurant for a hearty lunch.
But who could have thought that this matter was not over yet. After a while, the two girls came back aggressively, followed by a middle-aged man.
The three of them walked hurriedly, with angry looks on their faces, and walked straight towards Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao.
Before the middle-aged man even came up to the girl, he yelled at the top of his voice: "Which of you two bullied my daughter?" The voice was particularly abrupt in the department store, attracting many people around to look at him sideways.
Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi were completely confused by this sudden questioning. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They had no idea where this inexplicable accusation came from. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: What on earth is going on?
Just as the middle-aged man finished his loud questioning, he did not stop and walked towards Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi aggressively.
Each step he took was quick and powerful, and the ground seemed to vibrate slightly under his feet.
Upon seeing this, Lu Tingxiao's eyes instantly became sharp and alert.
Almost subconsciously, he turned sideways at an extremely fast speed, stretched out his arm, and steadily pulled Jiang Ruoxi behind him. The action was done in one go, as if it was an instinctive reaction engraved in his bones.
His eyes were fixed on the man who was gradually approaching, and he was always on guard against possible pushing movements from the man. He had only one thought in his mind: he must not let Jiang Ruoxi get hurt in the slightest.
At this moment, he was like a solid fortress, protecting Jiang Ruoxi behind him and giving her a full sense of security.
The man walked over to Lu Tingxiao in a few steps, puffed out his chest, and pointed his index finger at Lu Tingxiao's nose fiercely. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Hey! You are the only one who bullies my daughter? You dare to touch my daughter, you must be responsible for her today!"
The tone of his voice was as if he was the most reasonable person in the world and the entire department store had to listen to him.
"Don't point your finger at me!" Lu Tingxiao said sternly.
"Let me tell you, kid, I'm not someone who can be scared of people. If you just be my son-in-law, everything will be fine!" said the middle-aged man arrogantly.
The most fashionably dressed girl standing behind the middle-aged man blushed instantly when she heard this, and lowered her head shyly, as if it was really true.
When Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi heard this, their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes full of absurdity and disbelief.
Lu Tingxiao's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were wide open. The same thought came to their minds at the same time: Is this guy out of his mind? How dare you come and sabotage a military marriage in broad daylight? Isn't he afraid of going to jail?
Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, "Sorry, I really couldn't hold it back. I just want to ask, who gave you the face? Why is your face so big? Why don't you have a mirror at home and haven't you peed yet? Don't you know what you look like? And your daughter, if it weren't for the clothes she was wearing, I would have thought she was a monkey that ran out from some mountain. She's as thick as a tank but not as tall as a tank, and her waist is all over except her butt. It's like a gas tank that has become a spirit. It's not your fault that you're ugly, but it's your fault that you come out to scare people!"
The crowd watching around were originally looking at this farce with confusion on their faces. Who could have thought that as soon as Jiang Ruoxi opened her mouth, the series of sharp and clever words came like a string of cannonballs, leaving people helpless.
Everyone's eyes instantly widened, their mouths opened unconsciously, their jaws almost dropped to the ground, their faces were full of shock and disbelief, as if saying: "This girl is too amazing!"
Lu Tingxiao stood aside, listening to his wife's "language output", feeling very proud.
He tried hard to hold back the curve of his lips, but he couldn't suppress it. The corners of his lips trembled slightly, revealing his full smile.
His eyes were sparkling, and he was reluctant to take his eyes off Jiang Ruoxi for a moment; his eyes were full of pampering and admiration.
He silently sighed in his heart that his wife was extremely cute when she was talking back at people, like a shining little sun that illuminated his entire world.
At this moment, Lu Tingxiao realized more and more clearly that his love for Jiang Ruoxi had deepened, as if he was being held tightly by an invisible hand and could never be let go.
Lu Tingxiao stood beside Jiang Ruoxi, listening attentively as she angrily criticized the father and daughter with reason and evidence.
The other party was unreasonable and there was a hint of threat in their words. He was secretly alert and kept an eye on the father and daughter's every move, for fear that they would suddenly attack him.
Seeing this chaotic situation, Lu Tingxiao was extremely anxious. He scanned the crowd around him anxiously, then took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, can anyone help me go to the nearby police station and report this? Just say that someone is robbing a man and a woman in broad daylight!"
His voice was loud and anxious, standing out in the noisy environment of the department store and instantly attracting everyone's attention.
A young man in the crowd heard this and was not frightened by the chaotic scene. Instead, he looked excited, as if he had encountered something interesting. He responded loudly without hesitation: "I'll go!"
After saying that, he turned around and trotted towards the police station. His steps were so quick that he disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while.
Not long after, the sound of sirens came from far away, breaking through the original chaotic noise. The police quickly rushed to the food area of the department store. With steady steps and serious expressions, their appearance brought order and peace to the farce.
The police rushed to the scene and immediately saw Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi who was being protected by him.
Lu Tingxiao looked up and couldn't help but feel happy. It turned out that the person who came was an old acquaintance.
Recalling the previous mission, thanks to the full cooperation of the people in the police station, the mission was successfully completed, and the policeman in front of him was the capable helper who assisted them at that time.
"Captain Lu, what a coincidence! Why are you here? Who called the police?" The policeman looked puzzled and hurried forward to ask.
Lu Tingxiao looked calm, and quickly sorted out his thoughts before telling the whole story in detail.
From the inexplicable accusations made by the father and daughter to the innocence and confusion of himself and Jiang Ruoxi, he was clear and organized without missing any key details.
The police listened attentively, nodded from time to time, took out the pen and paper they carried with them, and quickly wrote down important information.
After taking the statement, he looked at everyone present with a serious expression, and then said in an orderly manner: "Okay, I understand the situation. In order to further investigate, everyone, please follow me back to the police station!"
After that, he arranged for his colleagues to organize everyone to go to the police station. The turmoil thus moved from the department store to the police station, waiting for the final fair judgment.
When the middle-aged man's ears caught the three words "Captain Lu" from the police's mouth, his face, which had been pretending to be calm, turned pale in an instant, and his legs could not help but tremble slightly.
His heart skipped a beat, as if hit hard by a heavy hammer, and an ominous premonition completely overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret and anger burning like a raging fire, all poured out on his daughter beside him.
No matter how capable the middle-aged man is in this area, he dare not jump over the head of the army. He can't hide from it, and this prodigal daughter is trying to bring bad luck to others.
He secretly glanced at his daughter, his eyes full of resentment and annoyance. If it weren't for this ignorant daughter who caused this kind of trouble, how could he be so unlucky to offend such a powerful person?
He kept cursing in his heart, wishing that time could go back and erase all of his daughter's previous ridiculous behavior. But the reality was cruelly laid before his eyes. In his panic and regret, he could only pray secretly that things would not develop in a worse direction. However, he knew that all this was probably irreversible.
The two parties were taken back to the police station by the police, and the middle-aged man's wife confessed that she was jealous because she saw Lu Tingxiao and his wife bought nine sets of baby clothes at once, and also bought six bottles. She said something sarcastic, and when she saw Lu Tingxiao's appearance again, she instantly became so angry that she wanted to pry Lu Tingxiao over. Unexpectedly, she not only failed to pry him over, but also got into trouble. She really regretted it!
