Am I just fooling myself?
They've clearly fallen for it, but they're too afraid to admit it.
Peng Yanyan and Zhou Tingting both understood the situation perfectly well, but they knew that saying more would be useless.
"Xiao Tuo, why don't you move in here?" Zhou Tingting said worriedly.
“No, I still have to maintain our marriage. If I really leave there, the inheritance my mother left me might be lost.” Mo Xiaotuo shook her head.
We are currently living in Mr. Luo's house. Since Mr. Luo is the CEO of Chen's Group, the so-called lucky draw mentioned by Zhiyan is probably also related to Mr. Luo.
She has no right to leave now, because if she leaves, she simply cannot afford her brother's medical expenses and tuition fees.
She needs time to recover. This year, she will grow up quickly and earn enough to leave him.
Peng Yanyan was fully capable of helping Mo Xiaotuo, but she also knew that this little girl would not easily accept charity from others, and she could see that Luo Chen had genuine feelings for the little girl.
Perhaps they just need time, even if it's just to give Luo Chen a chance!
“Okay, call me anytime if you need my help,” she said, holding Xiao Tuo’s hand.
When Zhou Tingting heard Yan Jie say that, she could only think to herself that she should try her best to help her unfortunate friend.
Mo Xiaotuo tried her best to compose herself and went to work at the milk tea shop in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Morissa, who had suffered a great loss at noon, called Yan Bing over.
Upon seeing Morissa's appearance, Yan Bing loudly berated her: "You jinx! How dare you hit our Morissa! Get out here right now!"
Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting were busy inside when they heard the noise and were startled. Realizing that Yan Bing had come to cause trouble, Mo Xiaotuo, afraid of affecting the shop's business, quickly took off her apron and came out from behind the bar.
Yan Bing saw Morissa and was about to grab her, but Gu Yuanyuan stopped her.
"Auntie, your loud noise in our store is seriously affecting our business. If you don't stop your rudeness, I'll call security." Gu Yuanyuan was taller than Yan Bing and was very domineering at this moment.
"Your shop has hired such a shameless jinx; be careful your boss doesn't end up with nothing but his underwear after paying for it all!" Yan Bing shouted loudly.
Some customers who didn't want to cause trouble left quietly, while some young people took out their phones and started live streaming to make money.
Mo Xiaotuo pulled Gu Yuanyuan away and said with her head held high, "Auntie, has Morissa hit me not enough? Look at these scars on my hands, they're all because of Morissa. You keep saying I'm a jinx, so why do you still live in the villa that my parents left to my brother and me, making my brother and me live worse than a servant?"
"You're talking nonsense. Your father's villa was mortgaged back then, and I paid to redeem it." Yan Bing immediately corrected him upon hearing this.
Mo Xiaotuo didn't believe Yan Bing's words. She smiled coldly and said, "Do you dare to swear that everything you said today is true? If you're lying, do you want to make it so that Morissa can never get married?"
"You! I'm your elder, you're really too presumptuous." Yan Bing didn't expect Mo Xiaotuo to have become such a wild horse. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
Snap!
A loud slap rang out, and Mo Xiaotuo was pushed aside.
The slap landed on Gu Yuanyuan's face, who had pushed the person away. Gu Yuanyuan touched her burning face, feeling a deep hatred in her heart.
When Yan Bing realized he had hit the wrong person, instead of repenting, he said smugly, "Serves you right. Who told you to be so blind and favor that jinx?"
"Madam, your daughter has caused trouble here twice in a row, and now it's your turn. Like mother, like daughter. Others may indulge you, but I won't. Tingting, call the police. All of you, stop working and don't let this kind of scoundrel get away." Gu Yuanyuan was fair and delicate, and the five-finger mark on her slap was very clear.
When the onlookers heard that the daughter had caused trouble twice, the mother had caused trouble again, and that the relatives had seized the waiter's property, they suddenly stood up with a sense of justice.
"Surround that shameless mother and daughter!"
"Exactly! Call the police! We must expose this shameless mother and daughter!"
"This is simply outrageous! Who is this old woman?"
"This isn't the president's wife, the one causing trouble is the eldest daughter of the Mo family. Wow, I never thought the life of the rich was about seizing the property of their relatives."
The video of Yan Bing hitting someone was posted online and it was shared very quickly. Within just five minutes, the video also appeared on the A University forum.
Yan Bing and her daughter were unaware of the seriousness of the situation. They only felt ashamed when they saw these people trying to surround them in the store, and she stopped her daughter from leaving.
Unexpectedly, a lot of people from next door also came and surrounded the store inside and out.
While calling the police, Zhou Tingting also called Sister Yan. Sister Yan, upon hearing that Yan Bing and her daughter had come to cause trouble, brought Haozi over.
Ten minutes later, Haozi arrived at the store, and the police also arrived at the scene. Morissa received many phone calls and only then did she realize that the video from earlier had been leaked online.
It’s over!
Dad would definitely beat them to death if he knew.
"Mom, let's go quickly, this has been posted online," she whispered to her mother.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bing, who had initially refused to cooperate, decided to leave with the police first, otherwise things could get out of hand if the situation escalated further.
Haozi comforted Gu Yuanyuan for a few words, then asked Zhou Tingting to accompany Mo Xiaotuo as he went with the police to give his statement.
"Dear customers, thank you all for standing up for our employees today. To everyone who stepped forward to help, we're giving away a free cup of our signature bubble tea. Thank you all!" Before leaving, Mouse stood in the crowd and bowed to those who had offered their assistance.
Clap clap clap!
A round of enthusiastic applause broke out, and everyone made way for the policeman, the rat, and the shameless mother and daughter to leave the milk tea shop.
After the culprit left, Gu Yuanyuan turned around and said, "Sisters, let's get started and make milk tea for our friends who are upholding justice."
"Stop taking orders outside this afternoon and make these milk teas first," Peng Yanyan instructed.
"Okay, Sister Yan, let's get started!" Gu Yuanyuan became an energetic little fighter again.
Mo Xiaotuo's eyes welled up with tears, and she said to Sister Yan apologetically, "Sister Yan, Brother Haozi deducted the cost of these milk teas from my salary. How much money did it cost to send so many at once?"
Peng Yanyan patted Xiao Tuo on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, doing this will not only prevent us from losing money, but will also make the store's business better. You'll see for yourselves tomorrow."
Zhou Tingting felt that what Sister Yan said made sense, and that after today's events, the store might become a popular online store.
Not far from the bubble tea shop, Min Ji-hyun could clearly see the scene inside through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The reason he didn't go closer was that he didn't want to cause any more trouble for Xiao Tuo.
But the Mo family is really courting death!
