Chapter 65: Chapter 62: Don’t Touch My Money!

Zhou Xiyang was also stunned as he looked at the man with the tall figure and extraordinarily handsome features, his eyes genuinely brightened for a moment.

What a gorgeous hunk!

Seeing money scattered all over the floor, the child’s parents immediately widened their eyes. "What are you waiting for? It’s compensation for us, pick it up!"

"Hold on!" Suddenly, Hua Xiaomo shouted. Her gaze turned toward the child’s parents. "This money is now scattered throughout this store, everyone has witnessed it; it belongs to this gentleman. If any of you dares to pick up a single bill, I’ll call the police right away. Then you can explain to the police officers!"

"Uh..." The child’s parents were instantly dumbfounded and, for a moment, did not know what else to say.

"You—you caused our child to hit his head, and you still have the nerve to talk?" the child’s mother said angrily, with the ferocity of a tigress refusing to concede.

Little did they expect, Hua Xiaomo looked them right in the eyes, her gaze steady and unwavering, as she declared in a voice clear enough for everyone in the room to hear, "I, Hua Xiaomo, was the one who bumped into him, and I, Hua Xiaomo, admit it! It has nothing to do with this gentleman, nor anything to do with the store manager!"

"I will take him to the hospital for a check-up right now, and I will take full responsibility! Rest assured, I, Hua Xiaomo, won’t run away!" Having said that, Hua Xiaomo quickly walked towards the child, scooped him up, and grasped him firmly by the waist.

"AAH! Let go of me! Let go of me!" The child was terrified. Seeing that Hua Xiaomo did not loosen her grip, he couldn’t help but shout, "My head doesn’t hurt anymore, Sister! My head really doesn’t hurt! It was all Mom and Dad’s idea..."

Upon hearing this, the entire place was in an uproar.

Several voices of disapproval rang out.

That family of three no longer dared to stay in the store. The crowd’s disapproving comments made their faces burn with shame. Soon, the two adults pulled their child and scurried out of the McDonald’s, looking thoroughly dejected.

"Those people really deserve to be reported to the police, to be arrested and properly educated!"

"Yes, they’re downright corrupting the child!"

The crowd murmured and discussed among themselves.

Hua Xiaomo said to the crowd with a light smile, "Alright, alright, it’s over now. Everyone, please continue your meals!"

President Qi, who had remained silent and had not intervened further, simply watched her handle the situation, and his heart stirred slightly.

Zhou Xiyang, the other mixed-race handsome man, smiled even more radiantly, his eyes filled with admiration for Hua Xiaomo.

However, his gaze kept unintentionally drifting towards the handsome man who had entered the store scattering money, and his eyes held an indescribable shyness and a peculiar feeling.

Hua Xiaomo looked at the money scattered on the floor, quickly bent down, and began picking up the bills one by one.

"Let me help you pick it up!" Zhou Xiyang said quickly, about to squat down to pick up the money as well.

All of a sudden, Qi Longbing snapped, "Blond foreigner, don’t you dare touch my money!"

That shout froze Zhou Xiyang in place; he was incredibly awkward.

Hua Xiaomo felt quite uncomfortable hearing that. She lifted her head and retorted, "President Qi, why are you being so aggressive? No one wants your money anyway."

After saying that, Hua Xiaomo couldn’t be bothered to say more. As she continued picking up the money, she said, "President Qi, even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t just throw it around like this! It’s really not good."

"What if I like it? Can’t I?" the man said with a nonchalant expression.

Hua Xiaomo looked up at him again. After a long moment, she said seriously, "Money... is supposed to be precious, not something for you to waste like this."

Then, Hua Xiaomo quickly lowered her head and continued picking up the bills until she had gathered every single one. She stacked them neatly, secured them with a rubber band, forming a thick wad.

Hua Xiaomo brought the money to him and held it out. "President Qi, your money. Here you go."

Qi Longbing glanced at her, extended one hand, but instead of taking the money, he grabbed her wrist.

Hua Xiaomo was instantly annoyed. She quickly pulled her hand away and glared at him. He’s so irritating!
