Chapter 1255 - 1227: Qian the Professional Scammer Hunter
Wang saw that it was a matter involving an important client’s family and immediately changed his tune, contrary to his earlier claim that he was a fraud, emboldened by the socialite’s support.
"I’m not lying! She’s a calamity incarnate for generations, anyone connected to her will meet a bad end. She jinxes her father, mother, and husband! Don’t let your son marry her, or your whole family will suffer!"
"You’re talking nonsense! Our boss is the best person!" The secretary was so enraged he wanted to rush over, and the socialite pointed at Ba Er’s nose and started cussing.
"Ba Er, what are you shouting for! Keep your dog in check so it doesn’t bite people randomly!"
"You’re the dog!" The secretary was also furious, trying to rush over to argue when Ba Er raised a hand.
"Xue, step back. Auntie, I came here to prove to you that this person is a fraud, and his words shouldn’t be–"
"Smack!"
Before Ba Er could finish talking, she felt a sting on her face; the woman had slapped her hard, hitting her squarely with such force that Ba Er’s face turned sideways.
"What are you doing! Can’t you see she’s pregnant?!" Qian couldn’t stand by any longer and stepped forward to speak for this friend she had only met once.
"Who are you?" The socialite eyed Qian up and down with disdain, assuming Qian was Ba Er’s friend and thus looked down upon her as well.
"I’m just a passerby, but I can testify, and we all can prove here, that this old man is just a con artist. Why harm your own family’s harmony for a money-cheating swindler? Moreover, your daughter-in-law is pregnant; how can you just hit her?"
Qian’s words were reasonable, but the socialite was unfazed. She pointed angrily at Qian and said,
"Get lost and mind your own business. Who do you think you are? This woman isn’t fit to be my daughter-in-law. Who knows what bastard she’s carrying in her belly?"
Hearing the socialite’s harsh words, Ba Er stood taller, her eyes full of defiance even though she couldn’t really do anything to the socialite. Her stubborn and strong-looking appearance touched Qian.
Originally, Qian hadn’t planned on getting involved in this matter, but seeing this scene was like witnessing herself being bullied by jerks in a past life. This woman’s behavior was eerily similar to those who bullied her, which ignited Qian’s anger.
"Looking at your attire, you seem like someone respectable. How can you disregard your status and let such despicable words spill from your mouth? You keep saying she’s unfit; just how high is your family’s status? Dare to tell everyone here? Let everyone hear how a socialite from a high family speaks such filthy words? Excuse my bluntness, you’re just trash."
Qian felt completely at ease after saying this, and Dalong chimed in to support his sister’s words.
"Isn’t it true? She still has the nerve to brag about how impressive her family is? My mom is just an uneducated working woman, but I think she’s more civilized than her. All you simple moms present here, do any of you curse people like this? Even hitting a pregnant woman, tsk tsk, really opened my eyes!"
After Dalong spoke, people in the crowd immediately echoed him. With the gap between rich and poor now apparent, there was a hint of resentment against the rich. This wave of anger correctly turned into class conflict, making the socialite the target of public criticism.
Seeing so many people discussing her, the socialite’s face turned from pale to livid. She reached out to hit Ba Er again but was stopped when Ba Er grabbed her wrist. Ba Er had clawed her way up from a grassroots position, and her grip was exceptionally strong, causing the socialite’s face to contort with pain.
"Auntie, I am only tolerating you repeatedly because of him. Please do not mistake my patience for weakness, continually touching and grabbing me."After speaking, she let go, and the socialite backed away two steps from the pain, eyeing the rugged men behind Ba Er with some apprehension.
So, she pointed at Ba Er’s nose, "Just wait! As long as I’m alive, I won’t let you through my family’s doors!"
After speaking, she turned to leave, but after two steps, she suddenly turned back, perhaps intending to say something more to Ba Er. But she hadn’t expected her arm to move too much, unexpectedly hitting Qian’s face.
Slap!
Qian covered her face and stepped back two steps. Seeing this, Ba Er hurried forward to support Qian, "Are you okay?"
Before Qian could respond, this incident infuriated Dalong.
"You old hag, how dare you hit my sister! See if I don’t beat the crap out of you!"
After saying this, he rushed forward, pulling the old lady’s hair hard, causing it to scatter. Dalong didn’t care whether she was a man or a woman, only seeing that his innocent pregnant sister had been hit. So he smacked the old lady right back!
The hit from the socialite on Qian wasn’t actually too painful, it probably didn’t even leave a mark. Qian was just a bit startled, but soon she was fine.
Seeing Dalong take action, Qian’s brain spun several times in an instant.
The brand of clothes this old lady was wearing was unrecognizable to most, but Qian could tell they weren’t cheap at a glance. Coupled with the LV bag she was holding and her over-the-top arrogance, she was either rich or noble.
Q City is only so large, and if she’s merely in business, it would be manageable, but if she were some kind of official, the aftermath might not be easy to handle. After all, the status of Qian’s in-laws was there too. It wasn’t that Qian was cowardly or afraid of trouble, she just didn’t want to end up at a disadvantage. So Qian rolled her eyes and immediately leaned into Ba Er’s arms.
"I’m dizzy, I’m finished, hurt now, quickly get me to a hospital!"
Upon hearing this, Ba Er was startled and guilty, worried sick because her situation had drawn in innocent people. What should she do!
"Quickly, to the hospital!" Ba Er instructed her subordinates, and someone immediately went to start the rundown van they came in.
Dalong, hearing this, was scared out of his wits and quickly rushed over, "Sis, sis, are you okay?!"
Taking advantage of no one’s attention, Qian winked at him, something only the siblings noticed.
Dalong made a sound twice and understood, feeling relieved.
"Quick... call my in-laws... say I got hit... my whole body, my head hurts..."
Qian’s acting skills for this trick were truly professional, scaring the socialite into backing away, while the people Yu Minglang hired wouldn’t let her escape, surrounding her directly!
Actually, Qian had much better ways to deal with this old lady. The reason she used this trick was all for Ba Er’s sake. Without handling it this way, the arrogant old lady might have continued to trouble Ba Er in the future, so solving the problem once and for all was the best. Not only could it help Ba Er, but it also saved her in-laws from some hassle.
Originally, Qian was fine, just putting on this act so Dalong would take her to the hospital where her sister-in-law worked. When her sister-in-law saw her coming, she was scared out of her wits, oh my, this is the most esteemed family member, how did she end up fighting and getting to the hospital?
Qian quickly pulled her sister-in-law’s head down, whispering a few words, and her sister-in-law understood.
Oh, someone relying on power to bully others, and the sister-in-law handled it correctly!
Not making a fuss would have let the other side rest easy, and that was absolutely unacceptable.
