Furthermore, in the eyes of most people, good-looking people would cover their faces.
"Scary?"
Xie Lingqin murmured softly, then slowly turned around, looked at the little girl, raised her scabbed fingers, and said in a gentle yet cold voice, "What's so scary about my fingers?"
"Ah—" The little girl was so frightened that she backed away, and the woman next to her immediately pulled her back, saying, "Girl, the child is young and doesn't know any better."
"Children are young and should be properly disciplined; they shouldn't be out scaring people for no reason."
Xie Lingqin's voice suddenly turned cold.
"You're scary, waaaaah... I'm not scary at all, I'm the prettiest girl, you're the scary one, you're so ugly, and you still dare to scare people... waaaah..."
The little girl started to sob.
"Ah, don't cry, my dear daughter, don't cry." The woman was furious when she saw her daughter crying. She looked at Xie Lingqin and raised her voice, "I said, what are you doing? You scared my child. You're ugly, but you're afraid people will talk about you, huh?"
Once this domineering woman starts throwing a tantrum, she's truly beyond redemption.
It's true that a child's family background shapes their character.
Xie Lingqin looked at him, then suddenly sighed and looked at the waiter, "Let's go to the kitchen."
What does it matter to her if other people's children become successful?
"stop."
However, they insisted on causing trouble and directly blocked Xie Lingqin and the waiter's way.
The waiter looked unwell and quickly tried to comfort him, "Sir, it's nothing serious, this..."
"Who gave you the right to speak here, you..."
The woman pointed directly at Xie Lingqin, her expression furious, "You think you can just leave after making my daughter cry? No way."
Green Beauty immediately raised her hand and grabbed the woman's fingers, saying, "You better be polite."
"Ah! Someone's being attacked! Someone's being murdered..."
The woman suddenly burst into tears, her voice so loud it could shake the surrounding area. In no time, the once quiet inn lobby was filled with people.
At this moment, Lü Wu's face turned pale as she looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "Miss, I only pinched her fingers just now, I didn't even use any force."
In other words, under any other circumstances, she would certainly have been ruthless, but given the current situation, they couldn't afford to attract attention.
And that's how the world is. It seems that the ones crying the most pitifully and with the most anger are the victims and the children. Suddenly, all the unfriendly eyes turned to Xie Lingqin.
What do you want?
Amidst the chatter, Xie Lingqin gently opened her mouth to listen; her clear, cool voice seemed to possess the power to suppress all other sounds.
She looked at the woman opposite her who was still crying and pleading with her allies, her gaze cold and devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing Xie Lingqin's words, the woman looked around again before her sobs subsided. "It's nothing, but you made my child cry like this, so you have to make it up to me in some way."
"How can you be so shameless?"
Lü Wu really couldn't hold back anymore. If Xie Lingqin hadn't stopped her, she really wouldn't have cared about anything anymore and wanted to slap this woman to death.
To everyone's surprise, the woman seemed quite pleased with herself upon hearing this. "Girl, what you're saying is true. If I'm embarrassed, then my daughter's tears today were for nothing. She made a mistake, so it's only right and proper to make amends."
Green Beauty's face turned pale.
There are still shameless people in this world.
"You're right, if you make a mistake, you should make amends. Luckily, I didn't lay a hand on you. If I had, wouldn't I have to make even more amends?"
“Of course.” The woman said, not forgetting to seek agreement, and said to the woman next to her who was looking for some gossip, “Don’t you think so? This is frightening people and they even spout nonsense.”
Yes, yes.
There really are people who can't distinguish right from wrong.
How much silver do you want?
Xie Lingqin didn't beat around the bush.
Hearing this, Lü Wu was even more furious, but she could only suppress her anger.
"Five taels." The woman raised one hand. "Otherwise, I'll report you to the authorities. Judging from your appearance, you're definitely not a good person. You can't cause us any trouble."
"Heh, five taels? You scared your daughter, so you have to pay five taels in compensation?"
"certainly."
“Alright, I’ll give you one hundred taels,” Xie Lingqin said, suddenly raising her hand.
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
The woman was stunned by the four slaps, and her face swelled up instantly.
"Ten taels for one slap, keep the change."
Xie Lingqin said, and Lü Wu, who had just recovered from her shock, immediately took out a silver note from her sleeve and threw it to the woman.
"Ah, you, you, you..."
"What are you looking at? You want to try it too?"
Before the woman could utter a shrill cry, Xie Lingqin coldly retorted, and the busybodies around them, who had initially been indignant, immediately fell silent. They watched as the woman climbed the stairs step by step and entered the room.
"Sir, sir..."
The waiter came up from the side, his voice stammering.
"Get out of here." The woman, her face flushed, pulled the little girl out of the inn.
"Miss Lingqin, will she report it to the authorities?"
In a guest room on the second floor, Lü Wu watched through the crack in the door as the woman led the child out of the inn, feeling somewhat worried, but seeing Xie Lingqin's calm and composed demeanor.
"Won't."
Xie Lingqin said, "Your young master won't give them that chance."
Luwu was taken aback, then understood.
Not long after, the door opened and Xu Yiran walked in. "I had some things to take care of, and the porridge burned."
"How did you get rid of them?"
"That woman was a human trafficker. The little girl was indeed her daughter, and she was handed over to the authorities."
As Xu Yiran spoke, she looked at Xie Lingqin with a hint of doubt, "You've never been so willful before, why are you acting like this today..."
"It's alright. I encountered a naughty child in another world before, but she died later. If I can save her now that I see her today, I will. Sometimes, when the trajectory of fate changes, people's hearts may change."
Xu Yiran didn't say much after hearing this. Actually, he wanted to ask, but he didn't want her to waste her breath talking.
The next day, just as it got dark, the two guests arrived at the inn as scheduled.
