"Keep causing trouble, and I won’t mind knocking all three of you flat!" Chiang Xiao said coldly, "The child is yours, the cup is mine. If you don’t know how to discipline your own child, don’t bring them out to cause trouble for others. Because he is young, he is right, and others should give in to him? His tantrums are a strategy for you but a disturbance to others! Am I paid by your family, or have I eaten your rice, or owe you any favors? Just because your child wants something, do I have to give it to them? Who spoiled you?"
Seeing that others around wanted to speak, Chiang Xiao spared no mercy and swept her cold gaze over them, silencing their words before they could even be spoken.
"And you all, standing there without feeling a thing, is it? It’s not your property the child wants, so you generously share others’ concerns and join in the reproach and ridicule? How do you know my cup isn’t valuable? Let me tell you, you couldn’t find a second one of these cups in the entire country right now! It’s custom-made! The painting on it, I drew it myself! Fifty cents, one dollar? Are you kidding me? Even if it’s only worth fifty cents, as long as I don’t want to, I have the right not to give it to a strange child to play with!"
Those people were dumbstruck, suddenly finding themselves speechless.
Chiang Xiao looked down, glaring at the child, "And you! Get out of here. There’s no grandfather of yours here. I don’t know how your grandfather usually spoils you, but seeing your dad, I can tell. When you grow up, you’ll be just as rude and aggressive without a hint of manners!"
"You..." Floral Shirt Man was so infuriated by her direct confrontation that he twisted his mouth in anger. Besides, Chiang Xiao had just slapped his wife. How could he endure that?
He reached out to grab at Chiang Xiao, her eyes flared coldly, and she pushed the woman she was still holding towards him.
The force of her push was strong. Floral Shirt Man thought he could catch his wife but hadn’t anticipated Chiang Xiao’s strength; he couldn’t hold her, instead, he was pulled down to the ground by his falling wife.
The couple tumbled to the floor in a heap.
The child, seeing this, was frightened into silence, hurriedly retreating several steps.
The whole car had not expected such a young girl to be so fierce; they were truly speechless and dared not say another word.
The couple got up, staring at Chiang Xiao in shock and fury, quickly grabbed their luggage, and dragged their child to another carriage.
Now, they neither had the face nor the courage to continue sitting here.
Once they left, the carriage suddenly fell quiet.
Chiang Xiao glanced at the other passengers and sat back down.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at Chiang Xiao, very curious, and asked, "Have you learned kung fu?"
Chiang Xiao replied without changing her expression, "Hmm, my brother is a Supervisor Guard in the Alliance District. He taught me."
A certain man who was working hard selling tea snacks for someone felt a tickle in his nose.
He didn’t know he had been passed off as a brother again out in the world. If he knew, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat from anger.
The middle-aged man was surprised, "I see."
Since he was the only one in the whole carriage who spoke up for her and also came to her aid, it was quite rare. Chiang Xiao then struck up a conversation with him.
Through this conversation, she unexpectedly learned that this man was actually the principal of the county’s Second Middle School.
The principal’s name was Fu Mingfeng, and he was on his way to the provincial capital to attend a work conference.
After learning Chiang Xiao’s name, Principal Fu’s surprise was no less than hers. He sized up Chiang Xiao and asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be from Peace Town, would you?"
Chiang Xiao paused, "Principal Fu, I am."
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, this is truly a coincidence," Fu Mingfeng burst into hearty laughter.
