Stealing Your Heart

Before Lin Ruixi could even finish her apology, the woman’s hand hit her squarely on her face. Lin Ruixi had never been slapped in her life, and her eyes widened immediately. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

Lin Xinyan froze. The last thing she had expected was for the woman to hit her daughter. She pulled Lin Ruixi into her embrace and glared at the woman. “How could you slap a child?!”

“Why did she run around in the first place? You’re such a bad parent too. Look at my clothes! It’s new! Give me the thousand I spent on it now!” The woman yelled at her. Her red lips, thick foundation, and her ugly snarl made her look like an unruly shrew.

“I didn’t mean to…” Lin Ruixi cried.

“That’s it?” The woman said arrogantly.

“How much do you want?” A low voice growled.

The man strode over with a scary frown.

He was about to go over when Lin Ruixi ran into the woman, yet a passing car got in his way. In just those few seconds, the woman had slapped his daughter.

The woman turned around at the sound of his voice.

Zong Jinghao was wearing a handmade suit under his unbuttoned coat which fluttered behind him, enhancing his domineering aura.

The woman shivered instinctively, the prior arrogance nowhere to be found. “This girl ran into me.”

“I didn’t mean it,” Lin Ruixi repeated, sniffing.

Lin Xinyan hugged her daughter tight. She had never laid a finger on her own daughter, yet some stranger decided to give her a harsh slap out of nowhere.

“How much does your clothes cost?” Zong Jinghao asked, taking out his wallet from his pocket. He didn’t have enough cash, so he signed a cheque instead. “Is a hundred thousand enough?”

He looked up.

The woman swallowed. A hundred thousand? Is he kidding her?

“I want cash!” The woman insisted, forcing herself to stay calm.
