C19 Alarm
Looking at Xu Zhe's words, I felt nauseous and couldn't help but berate him loudly.
I felt that my patience had reached its limit. If I continued to argue with them, there would definitely be no end to it.
I knew that at this moment, I was alone and that there was no way I would have any advantage. Just based on Xu Zhe's eloquence alone, I can't win against him, let alone adding Ms Lan.
As the crowd continued to gather around me, I was so angry that I didn't know what I was thinking. I rushed forward and grabbed Ms Lan's handbag.
"You, what are you doing …"
Ms Lan didn't check for a while, and was a little confused by my sudden action, stammering as she asked me.
However, it was only for an instant. She immediately realized that I had snatched away her bag and rushed over to take it back.
"Ah, my bag!"
Ms Lan screamed and lunged at me.
"Qiao Mu, what are you doing!"
Xu Zhe's tone was a bit anxious, his tone was raised by a few decibels.
I couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the two of them. As soon as I got my hands on it, I quickly checked my bag to see if the cheque was in it.
"You, you actually dare …"
Ms Lan was flustered and exasperated. She never expected that I would dare to rob openly.
Before I could go through the contents of the bag, Ms Lan grabbed the bag in my hands. However, her hand strength was not as good as mine, and for a moment we each held onto our bags, deadlocked.
"Give me back my bag!" "Xu Zhe, what are you waiting for!"
Ms Lan saw Xu Zhe standing there dumbly and asked for his help.
I shouted, "Xu Zhe, you dare!"
I thought that Xu Zhe should be more or less concerned about it. After all, I'm still his wife. He wouldn't help an outsider bully me in front of everyone.
As it turned out, I underestimated his shamelessness once again.
"Qiao Mu, don't be like this." Xu Zhe came forward and grabbed my arm, and said seriously, "Give the bag back to Lanqing!"
"Xu Zhe, you're really good! Who exactly is your wife!? "
If Xu Zhe was just watching from the side and didn't interfere, I would have been able to deal with him with just Ms Lan.
As long as I find the cheque in my bag, Lanqing will have nothing to say no matter how thick-skinned she is or how eloquent her mouth is.
But now, Xu Zhe is helping her to deal with me. No matter how strong I am, how can I compete with a grown man? Just a little force from him caused my hand to ache, and I couldn't help but loosen.
I frowned and glared at Xu Zhe. Xu Zhe was flustered by my glare and slowly let go of my hand.
"Qiao Mu, I …"
I was so angry at Xu Zhe that I didn't pay attention to a single thing. Ms Lan grabbed the bag and pushed me away. The bag was completely pulled away from my hand. Under the influence of the counterforce, she couldn't help but fall backwards.
I hastily staggered a few steps, trying to stabilize my body. However, due to the excessive force from the previous fight, my body was suddenly affected by the inertia and thus, I was unable to control my body.
"Ah!
I randomly waved my arms. Just when I was about to 'eat shit', I had already mentally prepared myself to be embarrassed. I didn't expect that there would suddenly be an arm behind me that would hug my waist.
As the expected pain didn't come, I slowly opened my eyes and a handsome face appeared before me.
I was afraid that I was hallucinating, so I blinked again until I heard a teasing voice in my ear, "You're looking at me like that in front of your husband, aren't you afraid that he'll misunderstand, huh?"
It's fortunate that he said those words right next to my ear. Otherwise, I really would have lost a lot of face.
"Master Gu, you, why are you here?" I didn't dare to look him in the eye, so I quickly averted my eyes and replied unnaturally.
In the blink of an eye, I saw Xu Zhe frowning with a puzzled expression as I sized him up. I sneered in my heart and thought to myself, "A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. What is there to be afraid of?"
At this moment, I don't have any strange thoughts at all. How did he know that Xu Zhe is my husband?
While I was talking, I noticed that Master Gu's arm was still on my waist. I didn't know if he was doing it intentionally or not, but I pushed him on the chest without thinking.
I didn't notice that he immediately let go of me. Instead, I felt my waist tighten as I was unable to grasp what he was thinking. Although it was true that he had appeared in time to save me from the fate of 'eating shit', that didn't mean that he could take advantage of this opportunity to tease me, especially at a time like this.
I glared at him, then gave him a hard shove. He seemed to be in a rush, but seeing that my expression changed, he gave me an ambiguous smile and finally released his grip.
He held back his smile as if nothing had happened, pulled away from me and said, "Drink half the wine, then run out and hang me on the air. I still haven't asked you what's going on. So, it turns out that my husband has come and doesn't have the time to deal with me. "
Saying that, he glanced towards Xu Zhe's defense line.
His tone was a little strange, but I couldn't tell what it was. I could only feel that his last sentence sounded a little weird.
At this moment, I didn't have any extra time to think about it, so I quickly explained, "Master Gu, you misunderstood. Didn't I tell you that I was going to return the cheque to you, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to find it. I kept my bag locked in the locker in the lounge. I suspected that Ms Lan had used the spare key to open the locker and take the check. I came over to ask her. "
"Master Gu, don't listen to her nonsense. It's all my fault if she disappeared. I have no proof. Who knows if she hid herself or not and purposely framed me." Ms Lan shouted at Master Gu.
Master Gu only glanced at Ms Lan before saying indifferently, "Oh, is that so?" Since I've already given you that cheque, you don't need to recount it to me again. "
I was worried that he believed Ms Lan's words and misunderstood that I didn't want to return the cheque, so I said something like that. I hurriedly said, "That's not okay, Master Gu. It is your business whether you want it or not; it is my business whether you want it or not. "
Master Gu slightly raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really?" Now that the check is gone, what are you going to do? "
"Master Gu, don't worry. I know very well who took it. "If I really can't do it, then I'll just call the police. Since the police are here, I don't believe that they won't be able to find that thief."
After saying that, I deliberately glared at Ms Lan as I picked up my phone, trying to call the police.
"Qiao Mu, enough!"
