Chapter 743 Unexplained Hatred
"If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have gone to jail, and my family wouldn't have fallen apart."
Lin Yuyao looked surprised, then laughed out loud, "You really are Fang Qing's son. You keep blaming others and never look for problems in yourself. You two are truly of the same ilk."
You can't reason with this person. He clearly knows why Fang Qing is in jail, but he just pretends not to know.
"Fine, you hate me, then why did you smash up the door of that bookstore?"
“I remember you used to work here.”
"Yes, that was a long time ago."
“Then I’ll smash it too,” Wang Chenchen said fiercely.
He didn't actually intend to smash it; he just wanted to vent his anger by kicking it. He didn't expect the glass to shatter when it hit the wall.
Zhou Jing was furious at his words and said angrily, "Fine, if you're so capable, then you'd better pay for the broken glass."
"I have no money, I won't pay."
Zhou Jing: "..."
Zhou Jing took a few deep breaths in anger, and when she was furious, she spoke harshly.
"You unwanted little beast, I don't think I could afford to sell you even if I paid for it. Bah, what bad luck."
Lin Yuyao said, "He can't afford to pay, but Lu Jiangting can. Lu Jiangting is his guardian now, so let Lu Jiangting pay."
"That's right."
Wang Chenchen was a little scared when she heard that they wanted to ask Lu Jiangting for money.
Yesterday, Lu Jiangting warned him not to cause any more trouble, or he would tie him up.
He was tied up for several hours yesterday, and it was a really unpleasant experience, so he's a little scared now.
"I...I didn't mean to." Wang Chenchen didn't want to be tied up anymore, so her tone softened, no longer as arrogant as before.
Zhou Jing snorted, "Kid, weren't you so tough? Now you're scared?"
Hearing the provocation in her tone, Wang Chenchen was very unconvinced.
"I'm not afraid. I'm just stating the facts. I didn't do it on purpose."
"So you did it on purpose, you kicked him intentionally, didn't you?"
“I…” Wang Chenchen couldn’t speak.
Zhou Jing made a snap decision, grabbed him, and headed into the bookstore.
Wang Chenchen cried out in distress, "Let me go! I'm going to sue you for kidnapping a child! You're a child trafficker!"
Zhou Jing was amused by his words and said directly, "Then go ahead and yell, yell louder, and try to attract everyone's attention so that they can all see what a bad kid who doesn't go up and smash people's windows looks like."
Wang Chenchen was speechless and dared not call out again.
He felt ashamed, especially when he saw the unfriendly looks he was getting. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, following Zhou Jing all the way into the bookstore.
Zhou Jing led him directly to the second floor, saying, "You stay here until Lu Jiangting arrives and you pay compensation before I let you go."
After she finished speaking, she came out, while Lin Yuyao was still at the bottom of the stairs.
"How about it?"
As for Wang Chenchen... although he looked so young and innocent, she couldn't bring herself to feel sorry for him.
Zhou Jing glanced at the door and said, "He's just a brat. Do you think I can't handle him? I'll make him stay put and wait for Lu Jiangting to pay up and take him away."
This is the child that Lu Jiangting loved the most back then. Now that the two of them are living together as "father and son," they are all quite curious about Lu Jiangting's attitude towards the child.
"Sorry, this little rascal came at me."
"What kind of trouble is this? He's just as clueless as Fang Qing. We're just innocent victims."
That's true.
It wasn't Lin Yuyao who took advantage of them or bullied them.
Fang Qing has always regarded Lin Yuyao as an enemy, and then she has also guided the child to hate her.
If the child is properly taught, he might grow up to be a good person. It's just that he ended up with a mother like Fang Qing.
……
Zhou Jing originally planned to wait until Lu Jiangting got off work before dealing with the compensation matter, but unexpectedly, Wang Chenchen ran away while they were having lunch.
"This kid, I came back from lunch and he was gone. I don't know if he ran to school or ran home."
She felt the chances of him going to school were slim, so she asked Lin Yuyao, "Yuyao, do you know where Lu Jiangting lives?"
"I know."
"Give me an address, I'll go find him."
"I'll drive you there."
"No need, you're busy with work. Just give me an address and I'll find it myself."
Lin Yuyao felt that since the boy said he kicked the goal because of her, it must have something to do with her.
She can choose not to go, but she can't completely ignore it.
So she called a security guard who could drive to go with Zhou Jing. Firstly, he could take her there, and secondly, in case things got out of hand, at least Zhou Jing's safety had to be guaranteed.
This time, Zhou Jing did not refuse.
……
After Wang Chenchen ran away, she did indeed go back.
However, he didn't stay at home for long.
He ransacked Lu Jiangting's house, found several dozen yuan in a drawer, and took it.
He looked around the room and his gaze fell on the secondhand black and white television.
Then they found a small trailer, the one Fang Qing used to use for collecting recyclables, loaded the TV onto it, and took it directly to a second-hand appliance recycling shop, where they sold it for thirty yuan.
It adds up to about a hundred yuan.
He took the money, didn't dare rest, and ran off with his schoolbag on his back.
Of course, his backpack wasn't filled with books; he threw all the books out and filled it with a few pieces of clothing.
He couldn't stay in that house any longer, and he had broken a window, so he didn't know how much money he would have to pay for it. He was terrified of being punished by Lu Jiangting and had no choice but to run away.
He ran all the way to the ticket office at the train station and queued up to buy a ticket, but the staff saw that he was just a little kid and there was no adult with him, so they didn't sell him a ticket.
Moreover, there are no trains to his hometown at this time today, so he can only wait until tomorrow.
He had thought it over and decided not to go back now.
It doesn't matter if he can't buy a ticket; he plans to just follow any adult and sneak up, which will save him the cost of a ticket.
After making up his mind, he found a safe corner at the train station and squatted down.
So Zhou Jing went to their house only to find it empty. She asked the neighbors and confirmed that the boy had come back at noon, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did that little brat run off to?"
"Sister Zhou, what do we do now? Should we wait here?"
Zhou Jing checked the time and said, "Wait, wait for Lu Jiangting to come back, then we'll ask him for compensation."
While waiting for Lu Jiangting, she ran into Aunt Li, who lived in front of Lu Jiangting's house.
Zhou Jing told Aunt Li about Lu Jiangting's family situation; the two of them were old acquaintances.
Whether Lu Jiangting and Li Wenwen got together or not didn't affect the relationship between Aunt Li and Zhou Jing. Aunt Li would occasionally pass by the bookstore and chat with Zhou Jing about gossip.
Aunt Li was quite surprised to see Zhou Jing here.
"Hey girl, what are you doing here? Didn't you come to work today?"
"Back to work, sigh, my shop..."
She told Aunt Li about what happened today.
Aunt Li sighed, "That little brat is no good. We never knew before. He's so extraordinary for such a young age..."
