Chapter 64: Trouble in the Shop
Xu Qing fell asleep in the end, but she knew that she seemed to be lying in a very familiar embrace.
The next day, when Qiao Yanhui opened his eyes, they were filled with bloodlust. However, when he saw the woman in his arms again, the bloodlust in his eyes finally dimmed.
When Xu Qing opened her eyes, she saw Qiao Yanhui looking at her in a daze. She instantly blushed. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get up.”
“You look pretty.” Qiao Yanhui grinned.
Usually, he would receive a response from Xu Qing when he smiled like this. However, this time, he saw Xu Qing’s expression suddenly change.
He didn’t know that Xu Qing’s heart was wavering. She composed herself and ran away.
Qiao Yanhui looked at the empty door in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with his wife. Could it be that she despised him and didn’t want him anymore?
Xu Qing’s heart ached when she saw Qiao Yanhui like this. She suddenly realized that Qiao Yanhui seemed to be very afraid of being abandoned. His clear eyes were filled with despair.
Xu Qing didn’t understand what he had experienced in the past to make him so afraid.
Xu Qing could only pretend not to see this and go to town to deal with Babe Sunshine. In the end, she encountered a problem.
When Babe Sunshine opened, she had already expected other merchants to be jealous, but she didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
They saw a middle-aged woman in old clothes sitting at the door of Babe Sunshine while holding a child and crying bitterly. Beside her was an angry middle-aged man carrying a crib.
“Everyone, come and take a look. This owner is really heartless! He actually took out such a low-quality thing to sell and killed my daughter!” The middle-aged woman cried hard. “My daughter, you died so miserably!”
The surrounding people also pointed at Babe Sunshine. Someone must have fanned the flames.
“How vicious. They disregard people’s lives just to earn money. A shop like this should be closed!”
“That’s right. You can’t harm children.”
The excitement of the crowd made those who didn’t know better think that the shop was about to be demolished.
At this moment, Xu Qing walked out calmly in a male outfit.
“You evil businessman, return my child to me!” The middle-aged woman continued to cry.
This sad voice made the surrounding crowd even angrier. Most of them had children at home and were easily incited. They looked as if they were about to rush up at any time.
Xu Sizhi stood beside Xu Qing and remained vigilant. He couldn’t let these people hurt Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked down at the family on the ground and chuckled. “Madam, I think your child is at least a year old, right? But why does she look like a newborn baby?”
Xu Qing’s words puzzled everyone. They looked at the child in the middle-aged woman’s arms and saw that the child’s face was sallow and her body was thin. It was obvious that she had been malnourished for a long time.
“My daughter is sick. She hasn’t been well since she was young, so she looks like this…” The middle-aged woman carried the child in her arms guiltily.
“Is that so?” Xu Qing looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her with a faint smile.
The middle-aged man at the side had a fierce expression. “You’re the owner of this shop! My daughter used your bed and is now dead. You have to give me an explanation! Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”
“An explanation? There definitely will be an explanation, but you should be the ones giving it to me, right?” Xu Qing suddenly said coldly.
Everyone discussed spiritedly. Wasn’t this shop’s product what killed the child? The owner actually wanted an explanation?
“Sizhi, how much does our pram cost?” Xu Qing asked Xu Si, who was at the side.
“A thousand dollars,” Xu Sizhi replied.
“A thousand yuan! It’s not that I think you guys are poor, but I’m just curious. Would a countryside family with patched clothes be willing to take out a thousand yuan to buy a pram for their daughter?” Xu Qing mocked.
A thousand! Everyone was stunned. Many people hadn’t bought it before and didn’t know that it was so expensive. However, they began to suspect it. These two people looked so shabby. How could they buy such an expensive bed for their daughter? If it was their son, it was possible…
“I care about my daughter, so I splurged. Why can’t I? Are you looking down on us country bumpkins?” The middle-aged woman sounded even more unnerved.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything and reached out to snatch the dead child. In the end, the middle-aged man’s expression changed and he rushed towards Xu Qing. “I’ll kill you, you heartless boss!”
