Manager Chen stared intently at Su Ran. After she finished speaking, she turned and left. He only saw her back, and Su Ran's words kept repeating in his mind.
So what if he used connections?
He has the connections to rely on!
But recalling everything that had just happened, Chen Ping felt a wave of fear. He realized that even connections probably wouldn't be able to save him this time.
Su Ran left the teahouse and got into her car when she suddenly felt the urge to urinate. Seeing that there didn't seem to be any public restrooms in the mall or any other public restrooms nearby, she drove to the nearest mall.
I had just finished dealing with this important life event and was about to leave when I heard hurried footsteps and a child crying.
Su Ran had just touched the bathroom doorknob when she heard a sharp female voice, "You brat, if you cry again, believe me, I'll kill you. Damn it, you've always been picking on me at home. Today I've finally caught you. Tiger is coming soon. You'll be going to northern Myanmar with him then. You'll definitely get what's coming to you!"
"Waaaaah... I want my mommy, I want my mommy, you bad woman, ugh..."
"You brat, shut your mouth! Your dead mother died a long time ago. Why didn't you go with her back then? You left behind a troublemaker to torment me. All you do is cry and wail, mourning your dead mother all day long!"
Su Ran paused for a few seconds, then opened the bathroom door and walked out.
The two sounds abruptly stopped.
The child's mouth was covered by the woman, and his hands were held back. He looked to be about four or five years old.
The woman with the shrill voice looked over when she heard the noise. Seeing that it was a young girl, she said viciously, "Get lost."
Taking advantage of the woman's momentary lapse in attention, the child removed his hand from his mouth, "Sister,... help me..."
The woman immediately covered the child's mouth and said in a sinister tone, "Little girl, this is none of your business. Look at the toilet door, it's not there. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Su Ran stopped three steps away from the woman and leaned against the wall. "Auntie, child trafficking is illegal."
What women hate most is being called "auntie"! This girl actually said it on purpose!
"Little brat, don't blame me for not warning you. This is not something you can handle. You'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise, if Brother Tiger comes, with your skinny arms and legs, you'll probably lose half your life."
Su Ran quietly observed the woman for a while and noticed that the woman checked her watch every few seconds, so the Tiger Brother she mentioned was either late or about to arrive.
Child abduction is a serious matter, and the timing is usually very precise, so the "Tiger Brother" she mentioned must have been stopped by something.
To be able to make a move in the Pudong Mall, I don't know if this woman is stupid or that Tiger is stupid.
Su Ran stepped forward, twisted the woman's hand off the child, and pulled the child over.
As Su Ran touched him, she said, "Kid, I haven't washed my hands yet, so please don't be disgusted. This is just something that happened suddenly."
Su Ran's words shocked not only the little boy, but also the woman holding him. It felt like a dangerous situation had been turned into something funny with just one sentence.
Because of the woman's surprise, Su Ran easily pried her hand away.
The woman glared at Su Ran fiercely, "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, don't cause trouble for no reason. This child is mine. Why are you trying to take my child?"
Su Ran stroked the child's head to reassure him, and the child hid behind Su Ran and sobbed softly.
"Auntie, I heard everything clearly in the toilet. If you're going to kidnap a child, you need to come up with a proper excuse. Even a dog would laugh out loud at your excuse."
"You...you!" The old woman was so angry that her face turned completely red, like a monkey's bottom.
Su Ran tried to move away from the older woman while holding the child's hand, but the older woman stopped her.
"Don't leave! Leave this brat here, you can... no! You can't leave either! Stay here, or I'll pack you both up and give you to Brother Tiger."
Su Ran looked at the woman blocking her way. She was extremely thin, wearing high heels, a tight red mini-skirt, and bright red lipstick. Anyone who didn't know her would think she had run away from a circus.
Su Ran was too lazy to waste words with her. She grabbed the woman and moved her aside, then took the child and walked out.
The woman never expected Su Ran to leave like that. She immediately came to her senses and tried to grab Su Ran, but the high heels she was wearing betrayed her. The woman stumbled and fell straight to the ground.
Su Ran turned around and saw the woman lying on her chest. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman and squatted down to look at the back of the old woman's head.
"Auntie, it's best to avoid wearing stilts when you're out and about. You fell into the toilet this time, but what if you fall on the main road next?" Su Ran's words were genuinely concerned. After all, there are many people on the main road, and it would be unfair to passersby if someone were to bump into or fall on them.
The woman raised her head and glared fiercely at Su Ran's face. "Little brat, don't let me see you, or you'll be sorry. You just wait and see."
Su Ran was really tired of this kind of intimidation tactic. Why did everyone like to say that these days? "Didn't you graduate from elementary school?"
Su Ran was internally complaining, but she accidentally blurted out her true feelings. The woman said fiercely, "So what if you didn't finish elementary school? I'm rich now! Do you know how much this bag costs? A hundred million!"
Watching the woman eagerly introducing her bag, Su Ran was momentarily speechless. She calmly looked at the little boy, pointed at the woman, and asked, "Is this woman mentally ill?"
After all, the woman's reply was quite shocking.
The little boy shook his head innocently, "I don't know either."
Su Ran turned around and left the women's restroom with the child, ignoring the woman's furious shouts behind her.
The child walked cautiously beside Su Ran, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and asked tentatively, "Sister, thank you for saving me."
Su Ran was washing her hands after leaving the restroom when she noticed that the little boy seemed to be shorter than the sink. She grabbed a piece of paper, wet it, and squatted down to wash the boy's hands.
Su Ran looked at the little boy, "Be more careful next time, kid. Do you know this woman? What's your family's phone number? It's best to leave this to the police."
The little boy was very handsome, though a bit thin, but his clothes were very nice. Based on my experience reading novels, I guessed it was the kind of story about infighting within a wealthy family.
“That auntie is Daddy’s wife.” The little boy rubbed the hem of his clothes. “Sister, we don’t need the policeman’s name.”
Su Ran didn't say much when she heard this, deciding to wait until her parents arrived to see. "Is that stilt-walking aunt your stepmother? Did she bring you out?"
The boy nodded. "But I didn't come out with Aunt Gao Qiao. I came out on my own because I wanted to see my mother. I was going to buy something at the mall when I met Aunt Gao Qiao, and then I was taken to the restroom."
Su Ran nodded and took out her phone. "What's your elder's phone number? I'll contact them and have them come pick you up."
"Sister, I'll use my smartwatch." The little boy raised his wrist, and Su Ran silently put down her phone and took the little boy to the arcade to wait (play).
