Chapter 805: Chapter 805 The Only Person Who Believed in Her

Xia Qingtian had waited a long time but still hadn’t received a reply from Bo’s mother.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit strange and turned her head to glance at Bo’s mother, only to see the corners of her eyes slightly lifted, as if she looked very surprised.

"Um?" she furrowed her brows and called out again, "Auntie."

Hearing her call, Bo’s mother finally snapped out of her daze. Her tone was somewhat hesitant as she asked, "You, do you believe me?"

"Yes," Xia Qingtian nodded without any hesitation and said emphatically, "I believe!"

Bo’s mother’s expression immediately became incredibly complex. The woman in front of her was truly beyond her expectations.

She didn’t like Xia Qingtian and opposed her relationship with Bo Jingyan. They could even be considered half enemies. Just seeing Xia Qingtian, she thought it was already kind of her not to kick someone when they were down.

She hadn’t expected Xia Qingtian to not only be willing to help her but also to believe her, and it was a belief that came from the heart, not a perfunctory response due to the circumstances.

How could she not be surprised?

After all, there were so many people here, and not one of them was willing to believe her.

Bo’s mother suppressed the odd feeling in her heart and began to speak, "I was just standing there, trying to decide where to go when the child suddenly rushed over. The hot drink he was holding spilled all over me, scalding my legs."

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but glance at Bo’s mother.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but when Bo’s mother spoke, there was a tone of grievance in her voice, like a child tattling to a parent.

She shook her head, casting that absurd thought aside.

She refocused her attention on the family in front of her and said coldly, "You’ve heard it. It was your kid who bumped into someone and scalded them. They’re not holding it against you, and yet you have the nerve to accuse them first."

The old woman’s eyes inadvertent flashed with guilt because what Bo’s mother had said was the truth.

But she couldn’t just admit it!

If she admitted it, not only would she not get any compensation, but she would also have to pay out money, something she found more unbearable than death itself. In any case, she absolutely couldn’t admit to it.

"Oh dear, everyone, come and judge this, look at these two women. Not only did they cause harm to my grandson, but they’re also bullying this old lady. What has become of the world? Is there no justice anymore?" The old woman sat down on the ground with a thud and started to make a scene.

Seeing her behave like this, the onlookers couldn’t help but feel even more sympathy for her.

They began to criticize Xia Qingtian and Bo’s mother, almost to the point of pointing at their noses and calling them shameless and lacking in manners.

Bo’s mother’s face alternated between shades of green and white. She had never been so embarrassed before.

She carefully tugged at Xia Qingtian’s sleeve and whispered, "Let it be, if they want money, just give it to them. Consider it a loan from me, and I’ll pay you back after I get my phone back."

But Xia Qingtian was defiant, saying to her, "Why should we? Why should we admit to something we clearly didn’t do? If we give them money this time, we’re only encouraging their misdeeds, which is a form of aiding and abetting. I won’t give them a dime, and I certainly won’t compromise."

Having said that, she no longer paid any attention to Bo’s mother but instead shouted angrily,

"Everyone shut up!"

In Xia Qingtian’s words, there was a commanding presence.

The people who had just been indignantly defending the old lady and her grandson were now scared into silence.

Even the old lady who had been making a scene and the obviously complicit mother of Bo Jingyan were taken aback.

Xia Qingtian was very satisfied with this serene effect in the room.

She nodded her head, warning those present, "We live in a society governed by law, not by who shouts the loudest or seems the most pitiable. The facts don’t change accordingly. Just now, this elderly woman falsely accused the lady behind me, and we can sue her for defamation anytime. Your actions just now make you complicit in her offense."

"If you continue to meddle, I will take this lady to the hospital for a psychological assessment report. If your behavior has caused her any distress or psychological trauma, then you will join this family in paying compensation."

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers who had just been so righteous suddenly dared not utter a single word.

This matter had nothing to do with them, and they certainly didn’t want to get involved in a trivial issue, let alone pay compensation.

Seeing that the crowd had finally calmed down, Xia Qingtian proceeded to deal with the family that had clashed with Bo Jingyan’s mother.

She squatted smilingly in front of the old lady and said, "Now, you either apologize to this lady, or I will call the police and accuse you of framing, extortion, and defamation."

"Who are you to say that what my grandson said is a lie? It was this woman who injured my grandson," the old lady said angrily.

She kept repeating the same sentence, and Xia Qingtian didn’t want to waste more words with her.

"I say this, of course, because I have evidence." She pointed to a spot above her head and said, "Take a good look at this spot. Do you see a round little lens? That’s a security camera, and it’s likely recorded everything that just happened."

"Whether it was this lady who injured your grandson or if your grandson ran into her, not only dirtying her clothes but also scalding her, everything will be made clear."

The old lady immediately looked up in the direction Xia Qingtian indicated.

Even the young woman who had been standing to the side changed her expression in an instant.

There indeed was a security camera, but because the shopping mall had hidden it for aesthetic reasons, no one would notice it unless they paid close attention.

It was precisely because of this that the old lady had been so brazen.

She thought that even if Bo Jingyan’s mother told the truth, it would be without evidence, and as long as her grandson insisted that it was Bo Jingyan’s mother who bumped into him, there was nothing that could be done to her.

People would subconsciously think that a child would not lie.

But they had never considered the possibility of a security camera.

The old lady stopped making a scene at once, wiped the tears from her face, and quickly stood up.

She realized that this new young lady was not one to be trifled with, and continuing the confrontation would only lead to their loss. They might not only have to pay compensation but also face defamation charges.

The old lady wanted to retreat now. Before leaving, she couldn’t help but say defiantly, "I just remembered, we have important matters to attend to later, so we’ll let you off for today."

With that, she grabbed the child’s hand, and along with the young woman, attempted to leave.

Xia Qingtian had no intention of letting them off so easily.

She took a small step forward, effectively blocking the family’s way out.

"Did I say you could leave?" Xia Qingtian gave them a glance.

Now that they were barred from leaving, and the young woman who had been silent as if she wasn’t involved finally spoke up, asking, "Miss, what else do you want?"
