The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 898: Sports Meet (3)
Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Sports Meet (3)
Even though Xiu Xi had immediately stepped in front of her at the first sign of danger, Ruan Jiaojiao was truly startled by the sudden appearance of the motorcycle.
The rider had drifted over and stopped in front of them, tilting his chin up at them with a boastful look, indulging in his own superior technique.
Nie Xiaowu was driving, sporting a pair of Frog Glasses, with one foot resting on the ground. He twisted his head and said to Duan Shaowei behind him: "Young Master Duan, I told you it was these two kids, I definitely wasn’t wrong."
After he finished speaking and turned his head back to look at Ruan Jiaojiao and the others, he met Xiu Xi’s icy gaze. Those eyes shimmered with a green light, exuding a fierce and chilling ferocity.
Although it was just a glare from a teenager, Nie Xiaowu didn’t know why, but he was so shocked that he shook a bit, and felt a chill down the back of his neck.
He shrank back, subconsciously wanting to puff up his chest to regain his dignity as an adult, but faced with Xiu Xi’s icy gaze, he could only weakly ask, "What... what are you looking at me like that for...?"
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, wasn’t it you guys who approached us first?
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the two men in front of her, especially the one called Young Master Duan, and asked, "What do you want to do? This is the main street, you know. If you dare to mess around, I will scream."
Meanwhile, the woman selling steamed buns nearby had already cast a wary look at Duan Shaowei and Nie Xiaowu, who indeed did not seem like good people.
Recalling the child abduction case she had read about in the newspaper not long ago, and looking at Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi’s exceptionally delicate little faces, she walked out of the bun shop with the cleaver she used to chop meat in the morning in hand.
"Girl, who are these people? Do you know them?" the woman asked as she walked over, lifting the cleaver.
The woman had been working in the area for over a decade, and all the neighbors knew each other. Even the few vegetable vendors who sat by her shopfront to sell their goods were familiar faces. Seeing the situation, they all gathered around.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes flickered, and she immediately grabbed hold of Xiu Xi’s hand, running behind the woman, while saying with a pitiful tone, "Auntie, we don’t know them. They suddenly appeared out of nowhere, could they be trying to abduct us?"
As soon as these words came out, the owners of several nearby shops who had not been paying attention before stepped forward.
Ruan Jiaojiao had only been living there for a week, and she had been going to school all the time, so she wasn’t quite familiar to them yet. But as a pretty little girl, she was a recognizable face, and if something like a child abduction happened, no one would stand by indifferently. Hearing her words, several shop owners gathered around.
"What the heck, who said we’re child abductors? We are decent folks!" Nie Xiaowu removed the Frog Glasses from his eyes, trying to explain.
But his appearance was really... according to Mrs. Wu’s words, he looked like a very shady character, not at all like a good person.
Naturally, no one believed them, and some even asked them to prove their innocence.
But how do you prove you’re not a bad person? Moreover, the accent of their speech was not local, but rather from Changling. This made them even more suspicious.
Right at this moment, the Ruanlin Family and Zhao Li came out together to buy groceries and saw that quite a crowd had gathered. At first, they didn’t pay much attention, but then they saw their darling baby was also in the crowd and, hearing the people around them whispering about a potential child abductor, immediately rushed over with a murderous look on their faces.
