Chapter 276 You Can't Handle It All
She just wanted to finish her bowl of noodles quietly and then go her own way.
But why does this woman in front of me act like a shrew right from the start?
At that time, He Yulian stood behind Zhou Hailiang, head down, saying, "I can't do anything about it."
But his eyes held a smug, triumphant look.
She was clearly a match, but she made various excuses to refuse, and finally even said that donating bone marrow would kill her.
Zhou Hailiang, however, used these words as weapons, repeatedly striking Zhou Shufen's heart.
He Yulian was momentarily stunned by the impact, and then took two more steps closer.
"You're just looking, why are you staring like a dead person? What do you want?"
Her momentum was slightly dampened.
But he immediately straightened his back and took two more steps forward, almost touching Zhou Shufen's face.
"You've been staring at me for so long with that sinister look in your eyes. Are you planning to get revenge on me? My uncle is working as a laborer at the construction site right next door!"
Everyone eating noodles around them stopped eating.
Zhou Shufen frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.
He then got up to leave, not wanting to cause any further trouble.
But just then, He Yulian suddenly reached out and blocked her way, her arm blocking her path.
"Don't go! You know me, don't you? Otherwise, why are you staring at me like that? You've been sneaking glances at me since earlier, do you think no one can see it?"
The system was crackling and popping in her head.
[Hit her! Get to it! Last time she beat you black and blue, even loosened two teeth. Don't you want to turn the tables this time? Revenge is on your side!]
Zhou Shufen rolled her eyes inwardly, making no attempt to hide her contempt.
She pursed her lips, her expression cold and stern.
“I don’t know you, and I don’t want to know you. I’ll eat my noodles, and you’ll go your way. We’re completely unrelated. You’re the one who came up to me, questioned me, and tried to shift all the blame onto me? That’s just being unreasonable.”
She suddenly reached out and shoved Zhou Shufen hard on the shoulder, so hard that she almost knocked her over.
"You dare to be stubborn? You're just up to no good! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for! What are you pretending to be so dignified for! The way you're looking at me clearly shows you're looking down on me! You're humiliating me!"
Perhaps we were truly enemies in a past life.
Even though Zhou Shufen has been reborn, she remains introverted and restrained.
Whenever He Yulian saw her face, a feeling of hatred would rise in her heart for no reason.
But Zhou Shufen was prepared and reacted very quickly.
She shifted her feet slightly and turned her waist nimbly, avoiding the push.
On the contrary, He Yulian used too much force, missed her target, lost her balance, and slipped.
He staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud.
This fall completely enraged her.
She simply plopped down on the ground, slapped her thighs with both hands, and burst into loud sobs.
"Oh dear! Help! Someone come quick! This old woman is hitting me! She's assaulting me in broad daylight! She's bullying a young woman like me! Where is justice?! Is there no law anymore?!"
Zhou Shufen stood still, her expression calm and composed.
I, Zhou Shufen, will never again be a pushover to be bullied.
She bent down and calmly picked up her bag.
"Neighbors, please open your eyes and see clearly. She blocked my way first. I wanted to leave, but she stopped me and questioned me. Then, she pushed me first, and I just instinctively dodged. If I really wanted to bully someone, would I stand here and let her cry and complain? Would I give her time to sit on the ground and make a scene?"
After she finished speaking, she took out a few coins from her bag and walked straight to the stall owner.
"Boss, I've settled my bill for the noodles. A bowl of beef noodles, thirteen yuan, right?"
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded.
"Yes, yes, thirteen yuan, I'll take twenty yuan from you and give you seven yuan back."
Zhou Shufen took the change, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
But as soon as she took a step, she bumped into a familiar figure.
The man was wearing a dirty gray work uniform with the sleeves rolled up, revealing his calloused arms.
It was He Yulian's uncle, Chen Lao Er.
"Who dares to touch my niece!"
The burly man, covered in cement stains, rushed in.
He rushed to He Yulian's side and roughly pulled her up.
Then, he stared with his bloodshot eyes.
"Old man! Did you push her down? Do you know she's my niece? If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll make you regret it!"
When He Yulian saw that her backer had arrived, her confidence soared, and she immediately cried even more miserably, her face covered in tears and snot.
She raised her finger with trembling hands and pointed it directly at Zhou Shufen.
"Uncle! It was her! From the moment I entered the store, she stared at me with a vicious look in her eyes! Before I could even say anything, she started making sarcastic remarks! I couldn't stand it, so I pushed her, but she deliberately dodged, causing me to fall! She did it on purpose!"
Chen Lao Er had a fiery temper; he was easily provoked and didn't care about right or wrong, he would explode on the spot.
He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bulging veins on his arms, and strode forward.
"Old man, you're so old and you still don't know any better. You're always swaggering around here, and you even dare to bully a little girl? Who do you think you are! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really think no one in this world can handle you!"
The surrounding crowd immediately stirred, and everyone instinctively backed away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Stop messing around, forget it, forget it. It's better to avoid trouble. We can't get involved in this kind of thing."
"Yes, that old man doesn't seem reasonable, and Chen Lao Er has a fiery temper. If they really fight, it won't end well."
But Chen Lao Er wouldn't listen to any of the advice; his mind was only filled with burning anger.
He ignored her and strode straight toward Zhou Shufen, reaching out to grab her arm.
Zhou Shufen remained standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.
"If you dare touch me, I'll immediately call the police and have them handle it."
"police?"
Chen Lao Er was stunned for a moment, then looked up and sneered, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Who dares to mess with me? Let me tell you, I've been working on this construction site for over ten years. I'm not afraid of wind or sun, why would I be afraid of you calling the police? You think you can scare me by just calling a couple of cops?"
His hand was already close to Zhou Shufen's shoulder, his fingertips almost touching her fabric.
At this critical moment.
A loud shout suddenly rang out from the doorway.
"stop!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the doorway.
Guo Zhenyi walked in, followed by two police officers.
He was still wearing his sharp suit, with his tie slightly loose.
It turned out that he had just seen off the foreign businessmen and left the conference room.
As I passed by this office building, I heard a lot of noise coming from the hallway.
Out of habit, he went upstairs to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw someone about to lay a hand on his wife!
Guo Zhenyi took three steps at a time and quickly walked to Zhou Shufen's side, gently turning to shield her behind him.
He stared coldly at Chen Lao Er.
"What's going on? Who gave you permission to run wild here?"
Chen Lao Er was stunned by this imposing aura, and his heart skipped a beat.
