Chapter 1189 1 slap
Upon hearing He Xu mention that there was surveillance footage, the couple fell silent for a moment.
Su Xing looked at the woman and said calmly, "I only stopped you from smashing up the shop, I didn't hit you."
She paused, then continued, "And you should thank me. If I hadn't stopped your impulsive behavior, you would have had to pay the store even more in compensation."
The woman roared, "Stop talking nonsense! I came here to settle accounts with this shady shop! They're the ones who should compensate me!"
Su Xing felt a wave of helplessness. This person was completely unreasonable, and she didn't want to argue with him.
The shop owner didn't want to pay attention to the woman anymore. Her gaze fell on the man, hoping that he was someone who could understand human speech.
"Sir, your wife has caused trouble in our store twice today, affecting our business, so I'll let it go. But she just damaged some items, and you must compensate for those."
"Compensation? What compensation?!" the woman snapped at the shop owner, then grabbed the man's arm and cried, "Our donkey got sick because it ate their hairball remedy and vomited. This shady shop sold junk and fake goods, so they should compensate us!"
The scarred man listened for a while with a furrowed brow before finally speaking. He said to the shop owner, "My dog vomited and had loose stools this morning. Since it was caused by eating your food, you should be responsible for my dog's medical and nutritional expenses! Is that right? You've compensated for what you should, and we'll compensate for the items we damaged. Isn't that reasonable?"
He acted as if he were a very reasonable person.
The woman next to him nodded repeatedly, "That's right! We're not unreasonable people!"
Su Xing and He Xu both twitched their lips at the same rate when they heard what the couple said.
The elderly couple from the Su family also stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly agape.
This... no wonder they're a couple!
The shop owner held back, but couldn't help rolling his eyes.
She was truly speechless. It's true what they say, you can't sleep in the same bed with two completely different kinds of people! What a pair of oddballs with completely distorted thought processes!
She sneered, "Sir, get this straight! Hairball remedy is for cats! It's for getting them to expel hair! Dogs don't lick their fur at all, so who told you to give them hairball remedy? Besides, the dog will only have an upset stomach for a while. Withhold food and water, it should be fine by tomorrow! You're all confused, so what do you expect me to compensate for the consequences? Are you trying to extort me?!"
The scarred man's face darkened. "You say dogs can't be eaten, so they can't be eaten?! You're just making excuses!"
The woman chimed in, "Yes! You're just making excuses!"
The shop owner retorted angrily, "What nonsense am I spouting?! Do you think anyone can eat hairball remedy? Why don't you eat it yourselves?"
The scarred man was completely enraged and took a step forward, heading straight for the shop owner.
Su Xing flashed forward and stood in front of the shop owner.
He Xu also moved, blocking the scarred man's path.
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, he looked down at the scarred man's sparse head.
This sense of oppression immediately weakened the scarred man's momentum.
He looked up, glaring at He Xu with feigned bravado, "Who...who are you?!"
He Xu said coolly, "I can't stand people like you who are just being unreasonable."
"Fine!" the scarred man roared, "You want to gang up on me, is that it?! Let me tell you! I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
He Xu responded with an "Oh".
The shop owner leaned out from behind Su Xing, shouting, "Are you guys never going to stop? I'm calling the police! Let the police come and settle this!"
The woman also jumped up and down, shouting, "You rip-off! I'd like the police to arrest you!!"
"Alright!" the scarred man yelled at the woman, "I'm asking you, that hairball remedy you bought, does it say on the label that it's safe for dogs to eat?"
"I..." The woman thought for a moment, then said softly, "I don't remember either..."
"Idiot! You didn't even look carefully before feeding it to the dog?!" the scarred man cursed, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped the woman across the face!
"Snapped--!"
The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed in the store.
The once bustling pet shop instantly fell silent.
Everyone seemed to be put on pause, staring wide-eyed at the scarred man who hadn't yet withdrawn his slap, and the woman who had raised her hand to cover half of her face.
Weren't these two just on the same side? How come the man suddenly started hitting his wife?
Grandpa Su glared and spoke first: "What are you doing?!"
What kind of man hits a woman?!
Grandma Su frowned and said, "Can't we talk things out properly?"
Su Xing snorted coldly. She had guessed why the scarred man hit the woman. He should know that the couple was in the wrong. He thought that if he could intimidate the shop owner, he could extort some money. But the shop owner was stubborn and unwilling to suffer a loss. He even threatened to call the police. If the police came, they would definitely say that they were the ones at fault.
So now he wants to find a way to back down and save face, and women have become the victims.
He hit the woman to prove that he was still "reasonable," and he wanted to use this to get rid of the matter.
He Xu frowned deeply, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at the scarred man.
No matter how unreasonable this woman is, that is not a reason for her to be beaten.
The woman looked up at the scarred man, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with grievance, "You...you hit me..."
The scarred man said, "You deserve a beating! You're always causing me trouble!"
The woman's body trembled slightly, whether from anger or fear, or perhaps both.
She cried, "They were the ones who bullied me, yet you hit me..."
"Shut up! Stop crying! You're crying away all your good fortune!"
As the scarred man spoke, he reached out and grabbed the woman's arm. "Stop howling! Let's go home!"
The woman's face was pale, her eyes were filled with terror, and she tried to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground, unwilling to move.
He Xu reached out and grabbed the man's wrist. "You want to hit me?!"
The scarred man retorted, "I can't even discipline my own woman?!"
He tried to break free from He Xu's hand, but found that he couldn't for a moment.
He Xu works out frequently, and although his physical fitness cannot compare with Su Xing's, it is better than most people his age.
Although the scarred man was fat, he was weak and couldn't match He Xu's strength.
He Xu said coldly, "Assaulting someone is against the law!"
The scarred man roared, "What law did we break! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't interfere in our family affairs. Let go!"
He struggled to his feet.
Su Xing turned around and mouthed to the shop owner, "Call the police!"
The shop owner immediately took out his phone, went into the adjacent beauty room, and started calling the police.
At that moment, the woman who had been beaten suddenly shoved He Xu, shouting, "What are you doing?! You're not allowed to bully my husband!!"
He Xu didn't want the woman to touch him again, so he let go of the scarred man.
As soon as the scarred man was free, he reached out and grabbed the woman, yelling, "You filthy bitch! You never give me a moment's peace! Let's go home!"
