Chapter 589: Chapter 578: Zhan Nanqing is knocked down and injures her foot!

Before Chi Yuhang had a chance to speak up and stop her, Zhan Nanqing directly blocked the doorway and forcefully stopped the person in their tracks.

"Put down everything in your hands and apologize to me."

She was too embarrassed to stay for dinner and trouble Chi Yuhang’s family, let alone eat up the only valuable things they had at home. Yet this stranger of an aunt came out of nowhere, grabbing their chicken and duck, and vegetables without a word, and had the audacity to rudely bump her aside?!

That wasn’t what angered her the most, it was seeing Chi Yuhang looking as though he was about to let the woman take advantage without objecting!

Moreover, this aunt’s movements were so practiced, she obviously had taken advantage of others plenty of times before!!

She was really curious, what would it take to make Chi Yuhang angry?

The smile on the aunt’s face had been insincere to begin with, but upon hearing Zhan Nanqing’s words, she couldn’t hold it anymore.

"Apologize for what? Who the hell are you? I’m taking things from Xiao Hang’s family, not yours. What are you shouting for?"

Zhan Nanqing frowned, looking disdainfully at the aunt who exuded an aura of unruliness from head to toe.

"And who are you? What gives you the right to take things from Chi Yuhang’s home? Taking someone’s belongings without being related, do you have no shame? True to the mark of an old lady who loves to freeload!"

This was the first time she had encountered someone with such thick skin; it was infuriating!

The aunt clung tightly to the chicken and duck, not willing to let go, and hugged the vegetables close, stepping back as if afraid Nanqing would snatch her loot.

"How dare you call me an old lady? Where am I old? You’re the one who’s old! You’re old all over! And listen here, I’ve been a neighbor of the Chi family for many years, we’re very close! What’s wrong with taking a few things?"

Zhan Nanqing crossed her arms and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"You’re calling me old? Auntie, I’m only in my twenties. It seems to me that as you’ve gotten older, your skin has gotten thicker. And even if I were old, I wouldn’t be like you, so shamelessly taking other people’s stuff. I don’t care if you’re close with him or not. I saw you bump into me when you came in, and now you’re trying to get away with swiping his things without a word."

She was determined to have a thorough argument with this unreasonable aunt today!

The aunt wanted to point at Nanqing’s nose and give her a piece of her mind, but she was unwilling to let go of the chicken, duck, and vegetables in her hands. She struggled to lift a chicken with one hand while pointing a finger at Nanqing with difficulty.

"Get out of the way, I don’t have time to waste on you. It’s not my fault you didn’t watch where you were going and got hit by me. Xiao Hang ain’t saying anything, why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhan Nanqing was startled by the chicken thrust in her face and quickly stepped back several paces, nearly tripping in the process.

Once she regained her balance, she glared menacingly at the aunt.

"I was at the door first. You saw me, yet you bumped into me before I could even step aside. Let’s not talk about the bumping right now. Just put down the chicken, duck, and vegetables immediately. I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you in my entire life!"

Not only was this aunt unreasonable, but now she also had the nerve to blame Nanqing?!

She might just faint from anger right there and then. If only she knew, she wouldn’t have come to deliver the medicine!

But if she hadn’t come to deliver the medicine, she wouldn’t have encountered such a thick-skinned aunt, and that mopey kid Yuhang would surely be taken advantage of by her again!

Seeing that Nanqing was still arguing with her, the aunt knew she was in the wrong, but how could she possibly admit it was her fault?

She gritted her teeth, stepped forward a few paces, and just pushed Nanqing aside.

"It’s your fault for not getting out of the way! Don’t blame me!"

Zhan Nanqing was almost knocked over by the robust aunt, but she managed to catch herself on the door frame before falling.

Before she had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the aunt directly swung the chickens and ducks in her hand, threatening to drive Zhan Nanqing away.

With the harsh swing of the aunt, the chickens and ducks started squawking in fear.

Startled, Zhan Nanqing immediately let go of the door frame and hastily stepped back.

But she forgot that she was wearing high heels at that moment, and during her retreat, her heel suddenly twisted.

Subsequently, she fell straight onto the ground.

Zhan Nanqing sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, a pained expression surfacing on her face as she quickly clutched her ankle.

"Damn it, old lady, don’t you walk away! Today—I must—"

Before she could finish her sentence, a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere around her waist.

Furrowing his brow, Chi Yuhang held Zhan Nanqing gently as she stood up and asked with a worried expression,

"Are you okay?"

Zhan Nanqing glared annoyed at Chi Yuhang, intending to push him away. But without his support, she would fall again.

In the end, she begrudgingly tolerated it and let Chi Yuhang support her.

Even in her current state, she didn’t forget to rail at him.

"Where were you earlier? I’ve been arguing with her this whole time by myself, and you didn’t say a word??"

After making sure that Zhan Nanqing was propped up against the door frame, Chi Yuhang immediately brought over a bamboo chair and placed it behind her.

"You sit down first. I was actually going to speak up, but you were so deep in the argument, I couldn’t get a word in. However, the moment I saw her lay hands on you, I came over as quickly as I could, but I wasn’t in time, I’m sorry."

Only after Zhan Nanqing was seated securely on the chair did Chi Yuhang straighten up, his face growing stern.

The aunt didn’t leave immediately after seeing Zhan Nanqing fall but seemed eager to stick around for the excitement.

"Xiao Hang, who is this woman anyway? You didn’t say anything, why is she interfering so much? Really, she’s disrupting the harmony among us neighbors."

No sooner had her words fallen when Chi Yuhang snatched the chickens and ducks back, and the vegetables in her arms were also taken.

Chi Yuhang, with a stern face, let go of the chickens and ducks and placed the vegetables on the ground beside him.

"She is the sister of my family’s lifesaver, who do you think she is?! I let things slide before, but it doesn’t mean I will this time! She was just speaking up for me, and you pushed her down?!"

The aunt was stunned by Chi Yuhang’s words, looking down at her empty hands, then greedily glanced at the vegetables on the ground and at the chickens and ducks running toward the backyard.

"Chi Yuhang, what do you mean? I accidentally pushed her down earlier; why are you so irate with me? We have been neighbors for so many years, do you really want to make a big deal out of today? Didn’t I help your family when you were down on your luck? Even if she is a lifesaver, does that mean I’m not?"

She had never seen Chi Yuhang lose his temper, let alone get physical with anyone. Today, just because she took some stuff and accidentally pushed someone down, he’s getting angry with her?!

And to think she had helped the Chi grandfather and grandson before!

Hearing Auntie Wang’s words, Chi Yuhang’s frown deepened even more.

"Auntie Wang, let me put it this way, if it weren’t for my lifesaver, it’s very likely that my grandpa would have died from his illness. Moreover, this misses had helped me before too. Their grace towards me is far greater, and I have not denied that you’ve helped us in the past, which is why my grandpa and I haven’t made a fuss."
