“No, no. He won't.” The boy hid behind his mother and pulled a face at Ye Erruo.

“…”

“Trust you to be so calculative toward a kid when you look like a decent person. Don't you feel ashamed at all?” The woman shot Mo Jiangye a disdainful glance before grabbing her son's hand protectively and walking away with him in tow.

His phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously at that. When Ye Erruo noticed this and sensed that he was about to blow up, she turned her head at once and gave the boy a fierce stare as he walked past her. Struck with terror, the boy tripped over himself and, as a result, crashed to the floor.

The boy started bawling as he held his injured arm, which had been sc.r.a.ped by hitting the hard floor.

“Oh, my poor baby. My precious darling.”

“Y-You… How could you push him?” shouted the enraged woman accusingly, her furious cry resonating across almost half the floor.

Ye Erruo burst out laughing. “Did anyone see me pus.h.i.+ng him?

“Alright, that's enough. Let's just head back.” She then slid her arm around her husband and made a move to leave. It was clear that the lady was being rudely unreasonable, so she had no desire to waste her breath and time on such a woman.

With the vegetables in hand, Mo Jiangye behaved magnanimously for once and did not bother dealing with that mother and son. Instead, he simply slipped his arm around his wife's waist and turned to leave.

“Stop. Stop right there, you two. You wanna leave after pus.h.i.+ng my son?” The woman ran forward and cut off their path by blocking them.

“The gall of you! How dare you leave after pus.h.i.+ng my son! Everyone here witnessed you pus.h.i.+ng my son for no rhyme or reason! I'm reporting this to the police!”

His eyes sank and his murderous aura was unleashed, frightening the woman into stumbling backward frantically.

“I-I don't care! I demand an apology and medical compensation from you two for injuring my son!”

The man was obviously irritated. He was running out of patience by now, especially when he caught sight of his wife's usually fair hand, which was still red and swollen. The ball of fury churning within him could no longer be contained. “Beat it!”

“Mommy!” The little boy came running over tearfully.

The mother grabbed her son's hand. “Everyone here witnessed you pus.h.i.+ng my son down and injuring his hand as a result. You'll have to pay for his medical bills.”

“Who's gonna be responsible for mine then?” I had no intention of being calculative, yet they dared to play the victim to me.

“Whoever you want. I just need you to pay for my son's medical expenses.”

Scoffing, the man asked in his hoa.r.s.e voice, “How much do you want?”

The woman carefully scrutinized him. Upon noticing his expensive getup, she stuttered, “L-Let's not… talk about money first. I-I want you to apologize to my son.”

Ye Erruo's brows furrowed as she stormed away with her husband's hand in hers.

“STAY RIGHT THERE!” Acting all unreasonable, the woman stormed up to them and grabbed hold of the grocery bags in Mo Jiangye's hand. With a fierce tug backward, the vegetables came spilling out of the bags and rolled all over the floor.

Cold air surrounded him in an instant as fury burned in his gloomy eyes.

He suddenly turned around and gave the woman behind him a hard kick that sent her flying several meters away.

“AH!” The surrounding onlookers hastily scattered and dispersed.

“M-Mo Jiangye…” Ye Erruo was dumbfounded by the sight when she turned around.

His thin, red lips were pursed into a tight, grim line as he stared at the scattered groceries, which he had personally chosen and shopped for with his wife, on the floor with a dipped head.

She had a bad premonition about this, so she hastily hugged his arm to deter him from doing something that might worsen their situation. Given his lofty status, he had never visited a supermarket before. Thus, if not for her, he would probably have never known what a supermarket was in his life. Moreover, the majority of the people in the supermarket lived in a different world from him.

This was also probably his first encounter, his wife excluded, with someone who had dared to act so arrogantly before him…
