Chapter 804: Chapter 804 I Will Help You

Xia Qingtian had struggled mightily and endured countless disdainful looks before finally squeezing into the crowd.

Indeed, the voice she had just heard belonged to Bo Mu.

Bo Mu stood in the middle, looking bewildered, surrounded by an old woman and a young woman, with a child next to her sobbing continuously.

Bo Mu, her face somewhat pale, defended herself, "I’ve already said it, it was the child who suddenly rushed over and bumped into me, this has nothing to do with me."

One of the elderly ladies began to make a scene,

"Oh my, everyone come and judge this, this woman knocked down my grandson, causing him to accidentally get burned, and she doesn’t even apologize, instead she tries to frame me!"

"I didn’t!" Bo Mu continued to clarify.

The younger woman subtly pushed the child.

The child, who had been sobbing, suddenly began to cry loudly, pointing at Bo Mu while crying articulately, "It was you, it was you who hit me!"

At first, people were merely watching the excitement.

Now, seeing how pitiably the child had cried and how he firmly accused Bo Mu of bumping into him, people are naturally sympathetic to the underdog and feel pity for children, now combining the two, their inner scales instantly tipped.

"Lady, if you’ve done something wrong, you should admit it!"

"Right, you don’t look like you are short of money by your clothes. Hurry up and apologize, and then take the child to the hospital for a checkup to see if you’ve caused any burns to him. If you did, then compensate."

Upon hearing the word "compensate," the old lady’s eyes lit up immediately.

Her face full of greed, she said, "Yes, pay money!"

Bo Mu opened her mouth, overwhelmed by the onlooking, disdainful, or condemning gazes, feeling somewhat unable to bear it and instinctively stepped back.

The old lady thought she was trying to escape and clutched her arm tightly with her dry hands, "You bad woman, are you trying to run away? Let me tell you, quickly pay us, or you won’t be leaving today."

Her grip was so strong that Bo Mu felt her arm might break.

Her face turned even paler, "Let me go first, let’s talk this out nicely."

"My only demand is the money. Just pay up, and I’ll let you go," the old lady’s attitude was extremely unreasonable.

People around felt that since Bo Mu had hurt someone, it was only right and proper to compensate, and no one spoke up to help the isolated Bo Mu.

Bo Mu also noticed this.

Now she was completely alone. Even if she was truly wronged, she could only grit her teeth and swallow this injustice, just pay them off, since she did not lack the money anyway.

Thinking thus, she compromised and said, "Okay, I will pay you, but I didn’t bring my phone or wallet when I stepped out today. Give me your bank card number, and I’ll send you whatever amount you want after I get back."

She had been in the hospital today, feeling bored and wanted to take a walk. Shi Qian was busy at work and couldn’t accompany her, and the attending doctor advised against her going out, but she had acted willfully for once and secretly left the hospital.

Because it was a hasty exit, she didn’t bring her phone or wallet.

At the time, she hadn’t minded, as she only wanted to relax outdoors and didn’t plan to buy anything, but she hadn’t expected to encounter such a thorny issue in the end.

"You think I’m stupid?" the old lady said disdainfully, "I don’t know you. If I let you go and you run away, then what about my grandson?"

Mrs. Bo really had no solution at the moment.

She instinctively wanted to seek help in the crowd, and soon she spotted a familiar figure.

It was Xia Qingtian!

She had finally encountered someone she knew.

But she quickly came to her senses and averted her gaze with a cold expression.

She didn’t like Xia Qingtian, didn’t accept her as a daughter-in-law, and feared Xia Qingtian probably detested her as well. Now, seeing her in such a miserable and downtrodden state, Xia Qingtian must be too happy to even think about helping her.

Thinking this, the light in Mrs. Bo’s eyes quickly faded, and she reverted to her usual cold and indifferent expression.

Seeing Mrs. Bo remain silent, the elderly lady felt she had struck a nerve and that Mrs. Bo was feeling guilty.

She assumed Mrs. Bo was not planning to pay compensation, and angry, she lunged and hit her, shouting, "Pay up, hurry up and pay!"

Although the elderly lady was of advanced age, she was quite strong, and Mrs. Bo could only awkwardly dodge, getting harshly shoved in the process. She stumbled back several steps, nearly falling.

"Be careful!" Fortunately, someone supported her, stabilizing her body.

After Mrs. Bo steadied herself, she turned her head with a grateful expression toward the person who had helped her, preventing a public embarrassment, "Thank..."

Her words of gratitude got stuck in her throat upon seeing the person’s face.

"Are you alright?" Xia Qingtian asked, supporting Mrs. Bo.

Mrs. Bo pushed her hand away, "I’m fine."

The elderly lady, seeing Xia Qingtian and Mrs. Bo talking, instantly assumed they were conniving, and boldly stated, "You two are in cahoots, aren’t you? I warn you, pay up quickly, or I will definitely take you to the police station and have you jailed."

Mrs. Bo instinctively retreated a few steps.

She had lived elegantly all her life and truly was no match for this elderly lady.

Moreover, the people she usually interacted with were also graceful and reserved, always smiling outwardly regardless of any private disputes; she had never encountered such a barbarous person.

Xia Qingtian stepped forward, shielding Mrs. Bo behind her, then firmly grabbed the elderly lady’s arm.

"Alright then, go ahead and call the police," she said assertively, "it would be good, let the police take you to the station."

The elderly lady hadn’t expected Xia Qingtian to respond this way and was momentarily stunned.

Quickly, she regained her composure and became utterly furious.

"What do you mean by that?" she yelled, pointing at Mrs. Bo, "This woman bumped into my grandson, spilling the hot milk tea he was holding, scalding him. I am a compassionate person and was willing to give you a chance to just compensate with some money. And you dare suggest the police arrest me? Who gave you the audacity?"

Xia Qingtian’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

Without looking back, she said to Mrs. Bo, "Auntie, please explain again exactly what happened just now to this elderly lady, in case her failing eyesight caused her to mistake illusions for reality."

After saying this, she wanted Mrs. Bo to recount the whole sequence of events.

She had arrived midway and didn’t really know what had happened, hoping to take this opportunity to find out.
