Chapter 439: 439 Mysteriously became an unmarried wife

Just then, a conductor, who had heard about the incident, arrived.

"What happened?"

Behind him followed a handsome man, none other than Gu Yingzhou.

Gu Yingzhou’s face instantly changed when he saw the bright red bleeding from Lin Tang’s finger.

He hurried to Lin Tang’s side, wanting to touch her ’wound’ but hesitated, not knowing the situation.

"...What happened here?" The man’s expression was stern, as if coated in frost.

Lin Tang, seeing the situation escalating, quietly tugged on Gu Yingzhou’s little finger and shook her head subtly to indicate she was alright.

Gu Yingzhou caught on and, seeing the young girl’s clear eyes and rosy, moist lips, he exhaled in relief.

Then his gaze shifted to the bloodstain on the ground, and he instantly understood, finding it both laughable and absurd.

That... bloodstain was smeared on with a hand, right? It’s too fake.

How could it look like that if it spurted out from a hit?

But this also proved that the young girl wasn’t hurt, and he completely let go of his worry.

The young couple made covert gestures while the conductor gathered the ’story so far’ from the onlookers.

The old lady on the ground grew bold with the arrival of the conductor, playing the seniority card.

Sitting on the ground, she began to wail: "Poor me! How miserable I am! I’ve never been out in my whole life, and the one time I do..."

It was the same old story again.

Her goal was singular: to make Lin Tang pay compensation.

After hearing the crowd’s accounts, Gu Yingzhou understood what had happened.

Clearly, the old woman was attempting to extort his significant other.

A cold chill passed through the man’s eyes but before he could speak, Lin Tang pulled his hand.

Lin Tang shook her head, signaling for him not to step in.

She had seen her fair share of unreasonable people looking for easy advantages, and there was no point arguing with such people – fighting fire with fire was best.

The conductor wouldn’t take sides without hearing all perspectives, and after listening to the old lady’s story, he turned to Lin Tang, "Does this young comrade have anything to say?"

Lin Tang, clutching her forehead, looked frail as she coughed lightly before saying, "Cough, I don’t."

"I’ve been frail since I was a child and can’t do any heavy work, how could I possibly knock someone down?!

Actually, it’s more likely that this strong old lady bumped into me and sent me flying."

"I have a wound on my head as evidence, please treat this matter seriously."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the old lady on the ground sprang to her feet, infuriated.

"You’re talking out of your ass! I never bumped into you, and the blood on your head is your own doing, don’t you dare pin it on me..."

Nobody believed her.

The onlookers, annoyed by the old lady’s obnoxious and unreasonable behavior, were not happy at being taken for fools.

The blood on the head of the young comrade was flowing so heavily; how could it be self-inflicted?

A concerned woman who had watched for a while spoke up again: "Hey, you’re quite something, old lady. Weren’t you complaining about back, leg, and buttock pain? What’s the matter with you now? Is your back no longer sore, and is your rear end all better?"

She spoke mockingly, "I think you did it on purpose, targeting the young woman because you thought you could extort some money from her, right?"

After saying that, she looked at the conductor with righteous indignation.

"Comrade, are you going to tolerate this? If you let her get away with this once, others will follow suit. When that happens, and society is plagued with such scams, with people lying down demanding compensation at every turn, how will the rest of us live?"

The passionate woman didn’t even know the term ’scamming,’ otherwise, she would have labeled the old lady with it time and again.

When the old lady heard words that didn’t favor her, she wailed and pleaded innocence even more.

"I’ve been wronged, I’m so wronged! What evil thoughts could an old lady, half in the grave, possibly have...?"

Her cries of injustice were giving the conductor a headache.

Gu Yingzhou wrapped an arm around Lin Tang’s shoulders and placed a handkerchief on her head, his gaze towards the old lady cold and steely.

He always respected the elderly and cherished the young, but he couldn’t bring himself to respect this old lady who was prone to throwing fits.

"Stop shouting," Gu Yingzhou said with a cool tone.

The shouting old lady was taken aback, mumbling and stopping her noise.

This younger man’s stern face was quite frightening.

Seeing her quiet down, Gu Yingzhou spoke emphatically, "We’re on a train, I don’t have time to argue with you, you targeted my fiancée intentionally, causing her to cut her head, you can’t deny it."

He saw the truth of the situation clearly.

But looking at the old woman’s skillful act, he feared she was a habitual offender.

As an upstanding young man, he definitely couldn’t stand by idly.

At the very least, he had to teach the old lady a lesson to let her know that scams don’t always succeed.

Lin Tang, hearing the man naturally utter ’fiancée,’ nearly lost her composure in surprise.

Gu Yingzhou, aware of the young girl’s gaze, showed a hint of a smile.

Not just fiancée, he also wanted to call Tangtang his wife, his Mrs., his lady, his child’s mother...

The old lady, who preferred to intimidate the weak but feared the strong, didn’t dare to make a fuss, seeing Gu Yingzhou was not easy to provoke.

She wouldn’t admit to bumping into someone.

"I really didn’t bump into your fiancée."

She was only looking to swindle some money, not to pay out any.

On this trip, she’d ’earned’ only three yuan after several performances.

The thought of giving even one yuan was enough to make her weep.

Gu Yingzhou, cold as iron, said expressionlessly, "Are you saying my fiancée falsely accused you? Forgive my bluntness, but do you have anything that my fiancée would want to falsely accuse you of?"

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it made no sense.

The old lady was frustrated.

She didn’t dare mention her intent to frame Lin Tang, as she had a ’record’ on her.

If she admitted it, and these people recalled that she had extorted others as well, and they demanded she return the money, what would she do?

"...So what do you want to do?" The old lady’s expression was very unpleasant.

Gu Yingzhou said straightforwardly, "You have no other choice but to compensate my fiancée for medical expenses; if you refuse, we’ll wait until the train stops and go to the police."

Lin Tang gave his finger a nudge with her thumb, showing approval.

Right, pay up, let those who scam feel the consequences of being scammed.

Gu Yingzhou caught the young girl’s restless hand, holding it in his palm.

The old lady felt faint upon hearing this.

Compensate for medical expenses? That was like asking for her life.

If she had known this young lady would be such a tough nut to crack, she should have picked someone else to swindle.

The conductor, tired of the drama, said to the old lady, "Pay up. You caused injury to that lady’s head, compensating her for the ointment is only right. Hurry up and pay the money, so everyone can return to their seats."

Nowadays, with few sources of entertainment, any spectacle draws a crowd.

If it weren’t for the conductor urging people away, the place would have been overloaded long ago.

The old lady reluctantly took out fifty cents.

Before Gu Yingzhou and Lin Tang could speak, the conductor said, "Fifty cents won’t buy a box of ointment, old lady, you can’t cheat honest folks like this."

The old lady felt incredibly wronged.

Who’s the honest person here, seriously!
