Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1552: 1551 beat her to death

“Really?”

An Lin frowned, looking at Qin Mu incredulously.

This guy, compared to his mother, was even more unyielding in his ways.

She couldn’t believe that after returning to City C, she could continue doing whatever she wanted.

Qin Mu solemnly promised, “Of course, it’s true.” He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her shoes, “But from now on, no more high heels.”

“…”

An Lin withdrew her hand and turned to leave, pretending not to know the man behind her.

Qin Mu accompanied An Lin shopping, following his mother’s instructions, bought her some maternity clothes and several pairs of flats.

At dusk, they arrived at the supermarket.

“An Lin, are you okay going upstairs by yourself? I’m going to the restroom.” Entering the supermarket, Qin Mu asked gently.

An Lin waved him off, “No problem, you go ahead. I’ll start from the fourth floor and shop downward.”

“Alright, I’ll come find you in a bit, try not to be on your phone too much.”

After Qin Mu gave his advice, he strode towards the restroom.

As An Lin usually liked to play on her phone, she pulled it out as soon as Qin Mu left.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, An Lin suddenly changed her mind and wanted to check out the fifth floor, where the children’s playground was.

Walking while looking at her phone.

Just a few steps away from the elevator, a child called from behind, “Excuse me, excuse me.”

An Lin turned and glanced back, stepping aside. Following behind was an old lady pushing a shopping cart, inside which lay a little boy. It was he who had just shouted excitedly.

The security guard stationed at the elevator was assisting other customers with their carts downstairs and hadn’t come back up. The old lady, possibly wanting to push the cart down by herself, did not stop a few steps from the elevator.

Instead, she continued following the people ahead, moving forward.

Seeing this, An Lin kindly reminded her, “Ma’am, you better have the child get down or wait for the security guard to help. It’s not safe this way.”

“What do you mean, cursing my grandson?”

The old lady not only didn’t appreciate it but started cursing directly.

Kind intentions met with an unkind rebuff, An Lin couldn’t help but frown again, taking another look at the boy in the cart, neither sitting still nor in the correct position. A trace of confusion passed through her eyes.

That child, why did he seem somewhat familiar?

For a moment, she couldn’t remember who he reminded her of.

The people in front were already stepping onto the elevator, and the little boy urged the old lady, “Grandma, hurry up, hurry up.”

While urging, he also bounced in the shopping cart.

Just as An Lin recalled why the boy looked familiar, a startled scream pierced her ears, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

She instinctively let out a low cry.

In the next moment, the boy who had been bouncing inside the cart inexplicably flipped out of it just as the old lady was about to push it onto the elevator, landing heavily on the elevator floor.

Without uttering a sound…

The people on the elevator turned back in shock at the noise, the old lady tossed the cart aside and, shouting the boy’s name, chased after the elevator.

“It seems… there’s no breath.”

The elevator stopped.

In an instant, the mall’s shoppers gathered around.

An Lin stepped forward to check the situation, seeing the boy lying motionless on the floor, she couldn’t quite describe what she felt at that moment.

It just seemed like something was stuck in her heart.

A life was gone, just like that.

The old lady, wailing and howling, suddenly stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone before settling resentfully on An Lin.

Meeting her eyes, An Lin’s expression slightly changed, just as she was about to speak, the old lady charged at her, cursing, “It’s all your fault, you vile woman.”

At the same time, she raised her hand and slapped An Lin across the face.

With her phone still in hand, An Lin instinctively tried to catch the slap as it fell.

A hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbing the old lady’s hand a second earlier than An Lin, “Ma’am, calm down.”

An Lin turned, looking at the person who spoke.

It was Yang Junze!

“Let me go, I want to kill this vile woman, she cursed my grandson.” The old lady, like a madwoman, continued to curse, grab, and bite.

But with Yang Junze protecting An Lin behind him, she couldn’t lay a finger on her.

On the contrary, there were teeth marks on Yang Junze’s hand, probably needing a rabies shot.

By the time Qin Mu arrived, the old lady had just stopped attacking An Lin and left with her grandson accompanied by mall staff.

An Lin, on the other hand, fetched some cotton with antiseptic from the service desk to treat Yang Junze’s wound.

“An Lin.”

Qin Mu’s voice sounded from behind her, and Yang Junze looked up at Qin Mu approaching from a few steps away, saying to An Lin, “I can do it myself.”

“You got hurt because of me. Let me disinfect it. That old lady really bit hard; you should get a shot, just in case.”

“If that old lady heard you say that, she’d probably come charging at you again.”

Though Yang Junze’s hand hurt, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“An Lin, what happened?” Qin Mu reached them, his narrow eyes sweeping over the injury on Yang Junze’s hand as he reached out, grabbing the hand An Lin was holding the cotton swab with.

An Lin frowned slightly and said blandly, “Just now, Yang Junze got bitten by an old lady while helping me.”

“Old lady?”

Qin Mu recalled the scene he encountered downstairs, his handsome face immediately darkening, “Was it the old lady crying as she went down, the one whose grandson had an accident?”

“Just because I kindly reminded her earlier, she assumed I cursed her grandson.”

An Lin recounted what had happened, and hearing this, both Yang Junze and Qin Mu thought the old lady was too unreasonable.

“An Lin, it was the old lady who didn’t heed your warning. Children shouldn’t be lying like that in a shopping cart in the first place; I saw it from inside earlier.”

When Yang Junze finished speaking, Qin Mu agreed with him for the first time, and the hostility in his gaze toward Yang Junze faded.

“An Lin, it’s not your fault. If the old lady had listened to your warning and had the boy get down, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Do you know who that old lady and the little boy are?”

An Lin pressed her lips together, her mood still not completely settled.

“Who are they?”

Qin Mu and Yang Junze both looked at An Lin, puzzled.

An Lin took a glance at Yang Junze, then looked at Qin Mu, saying, “I think he looks like the boy in the photo you showed me that day, and there’s some resemblance to Jinchen. If I’m not mistaken, that old lady…”

The confusion on the faces of Qin Mu and Yang Junze was replaced with shock.

Qin Mu continued An Lin’s words, “Could that old lady be Lu Yunfei’s mother?”

“I didn’t recognize her at first, but later on, I felt she was familiar. I met Lu Yunfei’s mother once several years ago.”
