Chapter 232 Encounter
Chapter 233 Encounter
These days, as public opinion intensified, Bai Xiaofeng and Wen Ning began to prepare for a counterattack, and Qin Xue was worried about Fang Qing's safety, so she gave her a long vacation.
Fang Qing had been on edge since she entered the company, and now she suddenly relaxed, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while. In order to kill time, she picked up her paintbrush and carried her drawing board to find some beautiful places to sketch.
I heard that there was a Yanqiao Mountain nearby with beautiful scenery and fresh air, which was very suitable for exercise and sketching. Fang Qing packed up in the middle of the night and took the earliest city bus before dawn, heading straight for the suburbs.
Climbing up the mountain with his drawing board on his back, watching the sunrise and smelling the fragrance of early summer flowers, Fang Qing's tired body and mind were finally relaxed. He took a few beautiful photos on the top of the mountain and sketched a picture of the sunrise and sea of clouds. Then he hummed a little tune and went to the town at the foot of the mountain to have breakfast.
The town is famous for wontons and pot stickers. Fang Qing found an old shop with a quaint atmosphere, ordered a serving of wontons and a side dish, and ate while reading the newspaper.
The boss was a plump lady. Seeing that she was carrying a drawing board on her back, she started chatting with her enthusiastically. Just as they were talking animatedly, a burst of sounds of beating and scolding were heard on the quiet street in the early morning.
"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? How dare you steal from me? I'll beat you to death if you let me steal!"
The owner of the bread shop opposite was punching and kicking a dirty beggar, cursing as he did so, which immediately attracted many passers-by on the street to stop and look.
Maybe it was because the boss hit the beggar too hard, the beggar lay on the ground motionless. The boss was startled and was about to go forward to check, but the beggar suddenly got up, grabbed the bun in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth voraciously.
Seeing the beggar's miserable appearance, the onlookers felt a little sorry for him, and an old man couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.
"Boss Hong, that's enough. Just one bun, don't let anyone get killed..."
Boss Hong, who beat the beggar, was afraid that someone would die, so he stopped and explained, panting and wiping his sweat: "Uncle Zhang, you don't know how hateful this beggar is! Two days ago, she came to my store to beg for food. I felt sorry for her and gave her a few steamed buns. Who would have thought that she would come again the next day. This time, she would not leave even if I didn't give her steamed buns! I had no choice but to give her a few more. But this morning, she came to beg for food again, and it happened that all the steamed buns in my drawer were gone. I only had a pot of steamed buns. I gave her the steamed buns, but she actually despised them. Not only did she steal my customers' steamed buns, she also spit into my pot! Do you think she should be beaten?"
After hearing Boss Hong's explanation, the onlookers immediately lost their sympathy. Even Old Man Zhang at the side felt that the beggar was a little ungrateful.
"You, the boss is kind enough to give you food, but why are you so picky? It's good enough to have steamed buns to eat, and he didn't ask you for money, so how can you spit into other people's pots? How can he do business with you..."
There were many people leaning on the windows of other shops, looking out, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Alas, there must be something hateful about pitiful people..."
"That's right! He deserves to starve. The boss was kind enough to give him buns, but he's not grateful enough and he's even delaying his business like this..."
"Alas, Boss Hong, you are too kind. You shouldn't have given him the buns! I found him begging here a few days ago, and he thought the money he was given was not enough..."
Fang Qing glanced at her watch and turned around to continue having breakfast, but she didn't expect that when she finished her meal and walked through the crowd and was about to walk to the bus stop not far away, the beggar on the ground suddenly looked up.
When their eyes met, Fang Qing actually felt that the beggar looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
When the beggar saw Fang Qing, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but the next second he jumped up, walked forward and hugged Fang Qing's legs, refusing to let go no matter how she struggled or said anything.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change and thought that the beggar had gone crazy and started attacking people. Seeing this, Boss Hong hurried over, kicked the beggar away and rescued Fang Qing.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Fang Qing held his chest and cried and gasped, then turned back and smiled at Boss Hong, "Oh, I'm fine, thank you, Boss Hong."
When everyone saw that the little girl was fine, they angrily began to attack the beggar on the ground.
"You beggar, what are you doing? If you come any closer, we won't be polite!"
"Oh my, is this Hanako mentally ill? Stay away from him!"
The crowd immediately scattered and moved away from the beggar on the ground. Unexpectedly, the beggar, who had been silent at first, seemed not to have heard what everyone said. He got up excitedly and gestured to Fang Qing.
"It's me, it's me! Qin's Garden, don't you recognize me?"
Fang Qing was frightened by the beggar's behavior and took a few steps back, but when he heard her voice, he felt it was more and more familiar. He hid behind Boss Hong and looked at her carefully.
The beggar raised his head, and beneath his messy hair were a pair of bright and excited eyes. Although his face was very dirty, his original appearance could still be seen. Fang Qing suddenly remembered, isn't this the spoiled young lady who once appeared in the Qin family?
"Du Shasha?"
Following Fang Qing's uncertain questioning, the beggar on the ground finally stood up excitedly, "It's me, it's me, you finally remembered me, I finally see my relatives!"
Fang Qing looked her up and down in shock, "Miss Du, how did you become... like this?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. After she asked, Du Shasha, who was originally excited and happy, suddenly burst into tears out of grievance.
"I... I'm so unlucky... You don't know how much I've suffered... Wuwuwu..."
Fang Qing sighed and was about to ask her to stop the piercing magic sound, but Boss Hong who was standing by saw this and walked over.
"So... you know this beggar? Well, if you know him, then see if you can compensate me for the loss of my breakfast shop this morning. He soiled my whole pot of steamed buns, and I can't sell them anymore..."
Fang Qing didn't expect that just by looking at the crowd for a little longer, he would get into such a big trouble. He decided to pay for the steamed buns and waited until the crowd dispersed before looking at Du Shasha.
Seeing that she was in a mess and the stench on her body was enough to make people vomit, Fang Qing took her directly to a bathhouse and hired two bath attendants at a high price. They scrubbed her up and down for more than two hours, and only then did she regain some human appearance.
Afterwards, Fang Qing took her into a small restaurant. Looking at the woman opposite him who was devouring seven or eight dishes on the table, Fang Qing could not imagine that Du Shasha, who was once so arrogant, would have fallen to such a state.
Fang Qing watched her wolfing down her food quietly, and when she finally put down her chopsticks, he was about to ask her what she was going to do next, but Du Shasha wiped her mouth and put one hand in front of Fang Qing, her eyes full of assent.
"Thank you for the meal, but I need to go back to the capital, so you have to give me some money!"
