Chapter 81: Making Trouble

Qian Xiaolan was in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk to Gu Yanqing much. She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and say something hurtful, affecting their relationship. Gu Yanqing knew she wasn’t telling the truth, but since she didn’t want to say anything, he didn’t ask. They left home at 7:30 am. Little Huang drove them to Bailong City, which took two hours. Then, they transferred to a ship from Bailong City to Haixing City. After arriving in Haixing City, they took a bus to the airport. By the time Gu Yanqing got the tickets from Xie Tuan’s comrade, it was already 2 p.m. Fortunately, there weren’t many people at the airport at that time, and they didn’t have to wait long in line to check in. They just made it in time. However, they hadn’t eaten much along the way. As soon as they got on the plane, Qian Xiaolan was so hungry that her face turned pale.

Gu Yanqing was heartbroken. He immediately gave her a sip of hot water and then gave her two pieces of sponge cake. At least it filled her stomach a bit. The plane took off at 3 p.m. and arrived in Guangzhou at 4:30 p.m. The flight to Beijing was at 6 p.m. As soon as they got off the plane, they rushed to find Xie Tuan’s comrade’s acquaintance to get their tickets and arrange for the transfer. When they finally boarded the plane to Beijing, Qian Xiaolan was completely exhausted. After a day of traveling, not only was she tired, but even Gu Yanqing looked weary.

 Qian Xiaolan was too tired to speak. She took a few sips of water from Gu Yanqing’s hand and closed her eyes to sleep. It was still over three hours from here to Beijing, enough time for her to get some rest and recover her energy. Gu Yanqing originally wanted to call her to eat something, but seeing Qian Xiaolan close her eyes, he couldn’t bear to wake her up. He peeled a Da Bai Tu milk candy and put it in her mouth. It would at least replenish some energy.

Then, he also drank some water, sucked on a candy, and closed his eyes to rest. Just as Gu Yanqing was about to fall asleep, he sensed something was wrong. He suddenly sat up straight and grabbed the hand that was reaching for the backpack at his feet. “Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts. You coward, let go of me!” The child’s cry and the feeling in his hand made Gu Yanqing frown. He looked at Qian Xiaolan. Sure enough, she had been woken up. She was leaning against the chair, looking at the crying child with sleepy eyes. The attention of other people in the cabin was also drawn to them. “

How can you be like this? You look decent, but you’re bullying a child?” The child’s mother rushed over and shouted at Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing’s expression was unpleasant. He still didn’t let go of the child’s hand, but he loosened his grip a little. With his other hand, he replaced Qian Xiaolan’s hand that was rubbing her head and concentrated on rubbing it for her.

Seeing her son crying sadly, but Gu Yanqing only caring about the woman next to him, the child’s mother was so angry that her teeth were itching. She squatted down and hugged her son with a heartbroken expression, “Xiao Bao, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy won’t let the person who bullied you get away with it.” After saying that, the woman took advantage of Gu Yanqing’s inattention and snatched her son’s hand back. Then, she shouted to everyone, “Comrades, you have to be witnesses for my son! This man bullied my son for no reason. Such an uncouth person doesn’t deserve to fly with us!” In those days, people who could afford to fly were basically people with status. However, they saw that Gu Yanqing had only grabbed the child’s hand and hadn’t done anything else.

They knew there was something going on. They didn’t join in the commotion like the people they had encountered on the train. Seeing that her words were ignored, the woman’s expression turned ugly. When she saw the flight attendant come over, she cried to her, “Comrade, you have to stand up for us! It’s not easy for my son and me to go back to my hometown. But this man, taking advantage of the fact that he’s a man, bullies us weak people.

He dared to bully my son on the plane today. He will definitely bully more people in other places in the future. This kind of person should be sent to the police station!” The flight attendant didn’t know what had happened. She gently persuaded the woman to take her child back to their seats first, so that they wouldn’t have any accidents if the plane encountered turbulence. She would investigate the matter first and then make a decision. The woman was unhappy with the flight attendant’s answer. She glared at Gu Yanqing, sneering, “Heh, this man just has a handsome face.

 You’re so easily charmed? Anyone with eyes can see that this man is wrong. Why are you hesitating? If you can’t make a decision, call your captain.” Qian Xiaolan had been rubbing her head against Gu Yanqing’s hand for a while and finally woke up. Hearing the woman say this, she pushed Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing gave her a reassuring smile, leaned forward, and said sarcastically, “Comrade, what you’re saying is truly insulting.

 A brain is a good thing. You don’t need one, but others cherish it.” “You—” “What you? Did you ask your son what he was doing just now? You scold others without asking for the reason. Is that your upbringing? No wonder you raised such a disrespectful child.” The woman was probably used to being superior and had never encountered a man who was more eloquent than her. She was so angry that she trembled all over. Qian Xiaolan covered her forehead. Her man’s mouth… Luckily, he wasn’t wearing his military uniform this time. Everyone was surprised by Gu Yanqing’s eloquence.

 The flight attendant, being trained, quickly regained her composure and politely approached Gu Yanqing, “Comrade, what happened just now?” Gu Yanqing pointed at the boy, who was hiding in the woman’s arms, “He took advantage of us sleeping and quietly tried to rummage through the bag at my feet. I’m very alert. I instinctively reached out and grabbed his hand. I might have hurt him. Then, the child started crying, and his mother came over to make a fuss without asking what happened.” The flight attendant understood.

She squatted in front of the child and asked, “Little friend, is what the uncle said true?” The boy made a face at the flight attendant and said arrogantly, “I was rummaging through his bag to give him face. He didn’t appreciate it.

” Grandma said that if this were ancient times, he would be a prince. What is a prince? It means he can do whatever he wants! But Grandma also said that nowadays, people don’t talk like that anymore, or they’ll be arrested and sent to the countryside to shovel manure. The spoiled child sighed in disappointment. Everyone was shocked by his words. Even if the woman had a thick skin, she was embarrassed by the gazes of so many people. Qian Xiaolan’s gaze swept over the woman’s face, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Then, she smiled at Gu Yanqing, “Look at you, you’re so ungrateful. The child was giving you face. How could you grab his hand? Quickly apologize to the child. Give him some more face and put all your valuables in your bag for him to rummage through.” The spoiled child didn’t hear the sarcasm in Qian Xiaolan’s words. He looked at Gu Yanqing with anticipation.

The woman was so angry that her chest hurt. She pulled her child away and went back to their seats, dejected. A wave of suppressed laughter erupted around them. Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing looked at each other and both sighed softly. It seemed like this trip to Beijing was going to be lively.
