Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Don’t Even Think About Leaving
The old lady also saw that trouble was looming, so at this moment she immediately opened her mouth and said a sentence.
"Forget it, forget it, I’m leaving first."
"I can’t be bothered to quibble with you all anymore!"
"I’m already so old, yet you people actually don’t believe me! Instead, you believe this person’s words! This is practically asking me to die!"
Just as she was about to leave, Liu Zheng grabbed her.
How could he possibly let her leave easily?
He had to teach her a lesson this time; only then would she understand his prowess.
So at this moment, Liu Zheng too wore a slight smile, and promptly gripped her hand.
"Alright, I think you should stay here and wait, I’ve already called your daughter-in-law and your grandson, they’ll be here shortly."
"However, you can call your old girlfriends over now and see what they have to say."
Upon hearing these words, a look of utter panic flashed across the old lady’s face, having never anticipated that Liu Zheng would act so swiftly.
In this moment, she was indeed very worried and afraid. What if Li Yanling and Xiao Kai actually revealed the truth, then what about her? What would she do with her old face then?
Therefore, she immediately shook her head.
"Enough already, I told you to let the matter go, isn’t that enough? You keep harping on it with me!"
"What on earth do you want!"
The person in front of her spoke very clearly.
"You’ve maligned me in front of so many people, how could I not call them over to clarify things properly?"
"Do you think I can just let bygones be bygones?"
"You said you were telling the truth, right? Then bring people over to prove it, let’s see if what you say is true or if what I say is true."
The onlooking crowd began to feel that the old lady might be lying, after watching this scene unfold.
Otherwise, why would she be so panicky and eager to leave?
People started to chime in.
"Yeah, you could call your old girlfriends over too, to see what will happen."
"Right, why are you trying to run away now? Could it be that you’ve been deceiving us all along?"
"I would advise you to just stay put right here."
...
Seeing that the fiery crowd wouldn’t let her leave,
she naturally became even more panicked and tried everything she could to escape.
"No, if you don’t let me leave, will you be responsible if something happens to me in a little while?"
Unexpectedly, she would say such a thing just to be able to leave.
But Liu Zheng only let out a faint smile, then gestured towards the clinic behind him.
"Of course, I can take responsibility. Have you forgotten? I am a doctor."
Upon hearing these words, her face turned exceedingly ugly in an instant; that’s right, how could she have forgotten? He was a doctor, indeed. It seemed sticking around here might not serve any great purpose, and even if she threatened with her health, it seemed futile.
The bystanders concurred, nodding their heads and saying one after another,
"Yeah, didn’t you want everyone to give you justice? Since that’s the case, then just stay here and don’t leave; let’s all wait and see what’s really going on before we make any judgments."
"Exactly, if you leave now, then how can we help you solve this issue? If you’re not guilty, just stay put then."
"Yeah, right, the guy is a doctor, and if there’s really something wrong with you, you could even ask him to check you out."
...
This old lady had never imagined that these onlookers would all stand on Liu Zheng’s side.
At this moment, she was truly panicking, not expecting Li Yanling and Xiao Kai to arrive at the scene.
And when she saw the two arrive, her nervousness increased even more.
Originally, she thought Liu Zheng was joking, but to her surprise, he actually went through with it.
Right then, she was indeed very scared.
Very soon, Liu Zheng turned to Li Yanling and Xiao Kai in front of him and said,
"She insists on spreading rumors right here. You two can explain, when Xiao Kai was around, did she not run off? She never took care of Xiao Kai at all."
"Not to mention, she usually doesn’t do any housework; it’s all left to you, right?"
No sooner had Liu Zheng finished speaking than Xiao Kai immediately stepped forward and addressed his grandmother,
"How can you be like this? To even call you grandma again would be the ultimate sign of respect, but you still vilify others here. Had it not been for him, I might still be suffering with vomiting and diarrhea, with no improvement in my health."
"Where were you when I was in such pain? You ran off to enjoy your peace, and now you dare to slander the doctor who cured me. How can you do this? What are your true intentions?"
As soon as Xiao Kai spoke out, the onlookers immediately understood what was really going on.
They suddenly saw the light.
Not only that, but they finally made a judgment about everything the person in front of them said.
They had also thought about it; this old lady was already of such an age, yet she still spoke nonsense.
This indeed made them very angry.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces were extremely ugly.
"My god, I actually believed it was true. I never thought it was a lie you made up to deceive me!"
"Yes, we’ve all been deceived by this old lady. Had we known, we shouldn’t have caused a commotion in the first place."
"This is just too much, I’ve never seen anyone like this before!"
...
Seeing the people around her start to criticize, the old lady felt her face sting with embarrassment.
She never thought she’d be exposed like this, nor did she expect Liu Zheng to stand up so firmly against her.
At this point, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing.
Since Xiao Kai had already spoken out, Li Yanling had nothing more to add.
She was truly very sorry.
She had never imagined the old lady would make a scene in front of Liu Zheng, let alone draw such a crowd of onlookers.
At this moment, she felt truly sorry towards Liu Zheng.
She immediately went up to Liu Zheng, bowing helplessly.
"I am really very sorry; I never thought this matter would blow up in front of you. I apologize on her behalf."
But Liu Zheng harbored no blame towards Li Yanling.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with her—it was clearly the old lady causing trouble.
"It’s okay, it doesn’t really concern you; you were slandered too."
