Chapter 537: Qin Xiaowu is ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to herself!

Qiao Xi clearly heard the sound of the phone hitting the ground.

But Su Wang seemed as if he hadn't heard it.

He walked over with big strides and casually sat on a chair.

The middle-aged man looked down and saw the phone dropped by his feet, and he was stunned for a long time.

He seemed slow to react, slowly bending down to pick up the phone.

The dirt on his hands stained the clean phone, and he even used his own clothes to wipe it off.

Then, he walked slowly towards Su Wang.

"Young man, this is your phone. It just dropped."

The man spoke with a thick accent that didn't sound like a local of the capital city.

His Mandarin was not even as standard as Qiao Xi's.

Su Wang saw his phone in the dirty and injured hands of the middle-aged man, and his brows furrowed.

He snatched the phone from the man's hand.

"It's dirty!"

Su Wang even sounded disgusted. He picked up a paper napkin from the table and wiped off the dirt on the phone.

This scene filled Qiao Xi with anger.

How could this guy be so bullying?

Before he could express his anger, Su Wang took out a few red bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the middle-aged man's hand.

"Let's call it even. You found my phone, don't expect me to give you an equal reward. Take the money and leave!"

The middle-aged man looked down at the bills in his hand, blinked, and hurriedly returned the money.

"I don't want the money."

"What?" Su Wang glared angrily, "You think it's not enough?!"

"No, no..."

The middle-aged man was obviously an honest person and was frightened by Su Wang's anger.

He was about to explain when the owner came out of the house.

The owner put the change in front of Su Wang.

"Wang Ge, this is your change."

Su Wang grabbed the change without even looking at it and stuffed it into his pocket.

He nodded at Shen Ran, Li Zilan, and Qiao Xi. "Let's go!"

Qiao Xi stood up and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of the table, hesitating.

Li Zilan pulled him and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"

Qiao Xi was pulled away from the food stall.

"Hey, aren't you going to pay? It's a total of sixty-three bucks!"

"This isn't my money."

"In your hands, why is it suddenly not your money? Pay the bill quickly."

"I really didn't bring the money..."

"What? You want to avoid paying the bill?"

Qiao Xi heard the conversation between the middle-aged man and the owner behind him.

He turned around and glanced.

The middle-aged man stood in front of the owner, at a loss, clutching a few one-hundred yuan bills in his hand.

The owner on the other side kept shouting at him to pay, but didn't reach out to snatch the money.

"Enough, stop looking."

Shen Ran wrapped his arm around Qiao Xi's shoulder and walked forward.

Qiao Xi turned his head, feeling a bit heavy-hearted, a sense of sadness welling up deep inside.

He wiped his face and asked, "Where are we going?"

Su Wang, walking ahead, didn't even turn his head and said, "You'll find out when we get there."

The group of four arrived at a not-so-large supermarket.

There was a young man sitting at the supermarket checkout counter, with an old lady standing outside.

Before entering the supermarket, Li Zilan asked Qiao Xi, "Do you need to buy anything?"

"No."

Qiao Xi shook his head. He was still feeling a bit down.

Su Wang, Li Zilan, and Shen Ran walked towards the shelves, picking out the items they wanted to buy.

Qiao Xi stood alone at the supermarket checkout counter, waiting.

"Auntie, is it still 1,500 this time?"

The young man sitting at the checkout counter asked.

The old lady, standing a few steps away from Qiao Xi, smiled and nodded, "Yes, 1,500. My granddaughter is in college, and she gets 1,500 as her monthly allowance. She's already quite thrifty."

The old lady took out a worn-out blue cloth from her pocket and opened it, revealing the money wrapped inside.

Qiao Xi stood with his hands in his pockets, lazily leaning on the checkout counter.

Hearing their conversation, he casually glanced at the old lady.

He saw the colorful change wrapped in the blue cloth—ones, fives, tens, and fifty-cent bills, as well as coins.

There wasn't a single crisp bill among them.

The young man at the checkout counter stood up and took the change in his hands.

He patiently counted the coins.

Qiao Xi clearly saw that the young man only roughly counted the money and said to the old lady, "It's exactly 1,500. I'll transfer it to your granddaughter right away."

"Sigh, well, with this money, my granddaughter won't go hungry."

The old lady smiled, her eyes squinting.

She talked about her granddaughter with such joy that her eyes almost disappeared.

That happiness came from the depths of her heart.

Qiao Xi could sense her pride and fondness.

He thought to himself that the girl named Nannan must be diligent and had relied on her abilities to go to college and escape from the western city.

To break free from the western city, one had to go to school and completely step out of this muddy abyss without a future.

The young man used his phone to transfer the money to a girl named Nannan.

He showed it to the old lady and said, "Auntie, I've sent the money to Nannan."

"Alright, thank you, thank you..."

A notification sound from WeChat rang.

"Nannan sent a voice message. Please have a listen."

The young man opened the voice message and leaned closer to the old lady.

"Grandma, I've received the money. Don't forget to send me more next month, or else I'll go hungry."

The girl's voice was obedient and sounded quite sweet.

"Alright, alright. Grandma will send you money next month. If it's not enough, tell Grandma."

While the old lady was talking, the young man held down the button and sent the voice message.

"Thank you, thank you."

The old lady took a couple of steps back and bent down to thank the young man sitting at the checkout counter.

"Auntie, please don't mention it."

He wanted to help the old lady up, but Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan approached.

They came one after another, crowding the old lady to the side, causing her to straighten her back.

"Check out."

Su Wang and the others each had a bottle of drink in their hands.

After paying, Qiao Xi followed the three of them and left the supermarket.

The four of them entered an abandoned park.

Su Wang sat on a dilapidated bench and tilted his head to look at Qiao Xi.

"Kid, what do you think of the scenes we witnessed at the street stall and the supermarket earlier?"

"Not much."

Qiao Xi's expression remained calm, stubbornly refusing to reveal the ripples in his heart and the suppressed emotions to these three people.

Su Wang opened the drink bottle, took a few gulps, and drank half of it.

He showed a pensive expression, with a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

Su Wang's lips curled slightly as he said to Qiao Xi, "Qin Xiaowu, your sister-in-law, wasn't as... ladylike back in the western city as she is now."

After pondering for a while, Su Wang could only think of the word "lady."

Qiao Xi didn't understand how the conversation shifted to his sister-in-law.

However, he couldn't help but be curious about Qin Ruan's life in the western city.

He wanted to know what she was like in the western city.

Seeing his interest, Su Wang smiled and pointed to Li Zilan, who was leaning against a tree.

"Back in the day, Qin Xiaowu, in the western city, was wilder than even Li Zilan. With just a shout of 'Daddy, I'll take you to fly,' she attracted many young people of the same age to join her gang.

Even though Qin Ruan is a woman, there were still quite a few people who followed her. Do you know why?"

Qiao Xi shook his head.

Su Wang's statement of "Daddy, I'll take you to fly" had already left him dumbfounded.

His sister-in-law appeared elegant and reserved, not someone who seemed wild like that.

He couldn't imagine what Qin Ruan would look like saying such words now.

He couldn't connect the two images at all.

If it were Li Zilan instead, he could have some visual cues.

The disappointment on Qiao Xi's face was clearly visible.

Su Wang's face revealed a mysterious smile. "When Qin Xiaowu gets into a fight, she doesn't care about her life. She is ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to herself!"

Qiao Xi fully agreed with this statement.

He had already witnessed his sister-in-law's ruthlessness.
