" What the hell? What are you doing?" Qi Qiao could not help but screech as she looked down at the brown spot on her white dress, because she wanted to show off her innocent side to the boy with whom she went on a date, she chose to wear this dress and this one was not only her favourite but also the most expensive dress in her wardrobe!
But now this white dress was no longer clean and pure instead it was covered with a brown spot which ruined the entire look!
" Do you even know how expensive this dress is?" She could not help but say to the man who bumped into her. " You are already so old but you are still bumping into young girls? Do you want me to call the red tail army on you?"
The red tail army was responsible for keeping track of hooligans, thieves and robbers. They even kept track of those who had illicit affairs or harassed women, if proven guilty the culprit who was caught was taken away by the red tail army, his head was shaved and then he was forced to walk around the streets where the crowd jeered and smashed rocks or rotten eggs on his head.
Being caught by the red tail army was the biggest humiliation as well as criticism one could get in such times!
The man originally wanted to apologise but when he heard Qi Qiao's blatant threat, his expression changed as he glared at the young girl in front of him who was accusing him of deliberately bumping into her along with the eyes which were focused on him, he could not help but say in a stern voice, " I say, young lady, do you think that you are the currency of this country that I will do something so foolish as bump into you? I was walking properly it was you who stumbled and fell on me, should I say that you are deliberately trying to catch the attention of men by doing so?"
He paused and added, " And what is a good girl like you doing outside in the night? Should you not be at home?" As he finished speaking he muttered in a voice which could be heard by anyone. " I think that you are just a crooked person who is calling thief because you are one yourself!"
" You..you are talking nonsense!" When Qi Qiao saw that the crowd was now looking at her instead of the old man in shirt and pants, her eyes got filled with fear as she looked at the crowd and then said, " I am a college student and just came out to attend a gathering with my friends, what are you trying to accuse me for?"
The reputation of college students was considered great which was why Qi Qiao flaunted her status as a college student but the man was not someone to be trifled with either, he rolled his eyes and then scoffed.
" Who was the one who started it? Do you think that only you are allowed to cry wolf and no one else can do it? Your dress was spoiled but it is your fault for stumbling into me, but what about me? My white shirt was ruined by you! Do you think that my white shirt is not expensive? It costs more than two hundred yuan, are you going to compensate me for it?" The man glared at Qi Qiao who was now looking at him with tears in her eyes.
She expected that she will be able to get some heavy compensation from the man since he ruined her dress but she did not expect to hit an iron wall.
Her expression changed when she saw that her situation was worsening for her which was why she immediately started to cry, tears like broken pearls started to fall out of her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks as she shouted, " You all are bullying me!"
After she was done shouting, she turned on her heels and then ran away from the crowd Fan Jiayi who was with Qi Qiao was also pushed to the side which caused her to stumble a little and almost fell on the ground but no one came to her aide, a man did try to reach out to her but then he was stopped by the person next to him.
" Don't do it, who knows they might really be scammers, if you help her maybe she will start crying and say that you pushed her."
Fan Jiayi felt like she was stabbed when she was simply lying down, she did not stumble into the man nor did he accuse him of anything but because she was with Qi Qiao, she was being treated as a scammer as well!
Never had she been treated like this, it made Fan Jiayi feel both wronged and upset. Hot tears surged in her eyes as she scrambled to her feet and then ran behind Qi Qiao while covering her face.
Behind them, the man screamed for compensation but neither Qi Qiao nor Fan Jiayi stopped. Because they were in a hurry they did not know that someone had recorded the incident which they wanted to forget, instead, they rushed towards the public restroom.
" That damned old man! What a cheap stake, I only wanted to get the money for dry cleaning this dress and he acted as if I asked for his house!" Qi Qiao could not help but curse the man who caused her to be humiliated in front of the crowd, as soon as she stepped inside the public restroom she kicked the trash causing the litter inside it to fall on the floor.
Her gaze fell on the brown spot on her dress and her lips tightened even further, she was supposed to have the time of her life tonight but instead, she only got to eat a bowl of noodles and even got her dress ruined!
Fan Jiayi who was following after her pursed her lips angrily, she wanted to scold Qi Qiao for being a paper tiger but she did not say anything. Ever since the beginning she had been using Qi Qiao's shoulder to aim her gun at her targets, she could not just break their friendship like that —— thus, she curled her lips in a sympathetic smile and then agreed with what Qi Qiao said just now, " You are right that old man was really too much, Ah Qiao…I say——"
What she wanted to say neither Qi Qiao nor Fan Jiayi got to hear it because a second later, they heard a chilly laughter echo in the public restroom!
