Chapter 108 - Put on the Spot

“Why? Because we are your boss’s uncle and aunt!”

Li Qin looked at the arrogant girl in front of her and felt anger rising in her heart. She felt as if she had seen a different person this morning. How could this girl’s attitude be so arrogant? How could she be so uncultured?

Jing Yu did not expect Yun Xi to reject Li Qin and Wang Long’s requests so directly. He was also taken aback. He knew that Yun Xi would not agree, but he did not expect Yun Xi to be so straightforward without the slightest hesitation.

He thought that he would have to solve his uncle and aunt’s problems alone today, but now there was someone who was actually willing to appear and stand in front of him. She seemed to be taking on the storms of his life for him.

Jing Yu’s gaze at Yun Xi grew deeper.

Yun Xi did not back down at all. She wanted to drag Jing Yu away from this troubled place and go pick up the medicinal herbs with her.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Li Qin felt that things were not going well and sat down on the ground. She watched the passers-by and began to cry loudly. She was going to throw a tantrum and force them to give in. She had prepared this beforehand.

“My family is so unlucky! I did not expect to see such an ungrateful wretch! Now that the medicine shop has developed, he doesn’t even care about his own uncle and aunt anymore.”

As Li Qin spoke, she hit the floor with her hands, as if she was afraid that others would not notice her.

Soon enough, a bunch of people gathered in front of the door to find out what was going on here.

Jing Yu was pulled away by Yun Xi, but he stopped in his tracks. Looking at his aunt and uncle who were crying, he did not know what to do.

“Yun Xi, you go first. My aunt and uncle are very difficult to deal with. I don’t want you to get involved in this mess.”

Jing Yu subconsciously wanted Yun Xi to leave first. He did not have the heart to be criticized here. He also did not want to show Yun Xi the embarrassing situation in his own family.

“Don’t worry. That aunt of mine is similar to your uncle and aunt. They are the same kind of people. I can handle it properly. I will definitely not leave you behind. Who knows, I might even need to protect you later.”

Yun Xi knew what Jing Yu was worried about, but she was not afraid of this shameless couple at all. Yun Xi deliberately lowered her voice and whispered these heartfelt words into Jing Yu’s ear.

“Alright then.”

Jing Yu gave up on chasing her away. He was slowly getting used to the feeling of having someone to back him up.

“UWUUUU…”

Li Qin’s cries became louder.

“Look at this person. Why is his character so bad? Look at him. He really wants to leave us to die. His younger brother isn’t even in school yet. Being someone’s older brother, he’s not willing to even help out. How heartless!”

“UWUUUU….”

Upon hearing Li Qin’s words, Wang Long quickly cried out to help his wife.

More and more people gathered around, and some of the surrounding people began to whisper among themselves.

“Is there such a person in this world? He doesn’t even care about his own uncle and aunt. In the future, we won’t come to this medicine shop to buy medicine. The owner of this shop does not have a conscience.”

“That’s right. He can even afford to open a medicine shop. Even when his younger brother needs to go to school, he does not bother to help. As expected of a black-hearted merchant. Perhaps the medicine he sells to us is mixed with defective products.”

The surrounding people were chattering non-stop. The expression on Li Qin’s face became smugger. She felt that everyone’s words were gold. She would definitely be able to get some benefits from Jing Yu today. Otherwise, she would let these passers-by spit on him to death. After all, since there was no way to collect money now, she could only act shamelessly.

Jing Yu looked at the scene in front of him and felt anger rising in his heart.

He could not let his aunt and uncle do such a thing. He did not care what his aunt and uncle thought of him, nor did he care about how the world thought of him. But this matter was related to the reputation of the entire pharmacy. Moreover, this pharmacy belonged to his benefactor. He absolutely could not mess up this matter.

“Everyone, please be quiet.”

Jing Yu said loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

Everyone looked at Jing Yu, wanting to see what the owner of this pharmacy wanted to say.
