"Why did you co to the bank?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked with his head down, addressing Xu Xiaong.
Xu Xiaong, filled with grievance, explained in a very soft voice.
"Last, last ti the dicine you left for my dad ran out, I, I ca to get money to buy dicine..."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a wave of guilt.
Last ti he had only left enough dicine for Xu Chihu for a week, and had agreed to co back after a week to treat Xu Chihu, but recently one thing after another had co up, and he had forgotten about this matter.
"I’m sorry, it was my oversight."
"No no no, Brother Shan, you’ve already been so good to and my dad. It’s who’s been a drag on you," Xu Xiaong said tensely.
Zhang Xiaoshan was the first ray of light that shone into her dark world, and the only light; she harbored special feelings for Zhang Xiaoshan.
And Zhang Xiaoshan also felt a different kind of affection for Xu Xiaong.
The Xu Xiaong now was almost like the Zhang Xiaoshan of the past.
Zhang Xiaoshan could not bear to see the suffering of others, especially not Xu Xiaong’s suffering.
"You rest assured, as I ca today, I will absolutely not let you be wronged," he said.
With that, Zhang Xiaoshan’s sharp gaze turned towards the teller.
"Apologize to my sister."
"Sister?"
The teller sneered disdainfully.
"This poor wretch is your sister? So you’re a pauper too, hehe, and you think you deserve an apology."
"Security, security..."
The teller called out, summoning the security.
A tall man with a carefree expression, dressed in a uniform, walked over.
"Zhang Xiaoshan?"
The man exclaid as soon as he saw Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes also revealed a hint of surprise.
"Li Biao."
Zhang Xiaoshan’s class sports representative in high school, who was much bigger and had often bullied Zhang Xiaoshan. His family was a dual-inco household, which in the impoverished, job-scarce region of Wanshan County, was quite significant. Even the job of a hall security guard that Li Biao now held was considered a coveted, stable position by the locals, coveted by many.
"Hehehe, so it’s you, kid. I heard that after graduating you brought a woman back to the countryside, and later she cheated on you? Hehehe, you’re really quite miserable," Li Biao said, imdiately laughing upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, his words dripping with sarcasm.
After all, bullying Zhang Xiaoshan had beco a habit for him during high school.
Zhang Xiaoshan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said,
"Li Biao, I don’t want to cause trouble, but don’t go too far."
"Hmm, weren’t you acting all arrogant just now, saying I should apologize? Li Biao, haven’t you always wanted to treat to dinner? If you sort this kid out for , I’ll agree," the teller said with a cold laugh.
Li Biao, who had been pursuing this woman, imdiately perked up as if invigorated, and comnted slyly,
"Hehe, don’t worry, today I’ll certainly make you feel avenged."
Then he looked at Zhang Xiaoshan threateningly and said,
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re getting bolder, daring to cause a scene at the bank. Looks like you want to eat prison food, huh? Apologize to my goddess quickly or I’ll smack you."
Before Zhang Xiaoshan could speak, Xu Xiaong timidly said,
"I’m, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have held you up after work, let’s, let’s go."
"Hahahaha."
Xu Xiaong’s submissive and timid deanor imdiately set off a round of hearty laughter from the teller and Li Biao.
"Paupers will be paupers, spineless creatures, only get smart after a beating. If you’d realized this earlier, wouldn’t that have saved trouble?" the teller said with a look of disdain in her eyes.
Li Biao, looking at Zhang Xiaoshan’s grim face, said with a grin,
"Zhang Xiaoshan, I only ever heard you had a widow sister-in-law, never heard about a sister before."
"Hehe, isn’t this your piece on the side? Hehe, such a young girl, really fresh, you sure know how to play," he said.
"Slap."
Without any warning, Zhang Xiaoshan harshly slapped Li Biao across the face, causing him to sit down on the ground with his mouth full of blood.
