Chapter 131: Chapter 130: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (4)
Su Shu turned a deaf ear and casually shut the door.
However, the person on the other side acted extremely fast. Before the door closed, a thick arm reached in, stopping Su Shu from closing the door.
âAre you blind? Almost crushed my handâdidnât you see? Could you afford it if you broke it?â
Using her arm, the woman forced the door open, strutted into the suite, and surveyed its layout. Xiaoâai, who was painting in the living room, was startled by the sudden intrusion.
Su Shu stood behind her, her eyes growing cold. She reached to open the door, moved forward two steps, and from behind, grabbed the womanâs collar. She almost strangled the woman as she dragged her corpulent body out of the room. Once outside, she flung her into the corridor.
âHaving eyes isnât enough, when walking out, remember to bring your brain next time. Donât just enter any door; itâs easy to offend people,â Su Shu sneered.
The woman, still in shock, had not expected a young girl to throw her 160 kg body around like a small chicken. She turned and shouted to her equally stunned family.
âWhat are you looking at? Didnât you see what she did to me?â
She wanted to call her family to gang up, but was intercepted by the hotel security officers who hurried over.
âPolite and courteous,â they attempted to ask the party of five to leave, but the other party stubbornly clung to Su Shuâs room, arguing that a single woman with a child had no right to such a nice, large room. They questioned why she couldnât settle for another room and share the spirit of Lei Feng by giving up the room to them.
The reasoning was simple: they had more people, Su Shu had fewer. In these special times, people should help each other.
The audacity in their final words was strongâworse comes to worst, she could pay!
The absurdity of the excuse made Su Shu laugh.
She didnât bother to argue with these people and turned to the hotel staff instead.
âThe room was booked by me in advance, the payment is done, and it is not yet check-out time. I believe I have overruling rights to reside. As for anything else, it falls within your scope of work, please handle it accordingly. I am going to have dinner now and Iâd prefer not to be disturbed.â
âMiss, Iâm sorry for the inconvenience, it was our oversight. We will handle it appropriately, and you donât need to worry. Please enjoy your meal,â said the lobby manager, polite and courteous.
Su Shu hummed softly through her nose.
Her ice-cold gaze swept over the family, ruthless as she closed the door, locked it, blocking the quarrel outside.
Xiaoâai looked up at her, and her expression turned from cold to warm, accompanied by a slight smile.
âDonât be scared, Auntie has already driven the bad people away.â
Xiaoâai blinked her large eyes, the wariness in her gaze easing as she bowed her head to continue painting.
âXiaoâai, stop painting for a while and eat first.â
In a few days, they wouldnât be able to enjoy such freshly cooked fine dishes from the five-star hotel anymore.
Once the gymnasium relief center starts serving meals, she planned to take Xiaoâai and be among the first batch of disaster-affected citizens to enter. Being early or late could prove very important later on.
The hotel delivered dinner: four dishes and a soup, all very delicious.
They ate while there was a commotion outside.
The family of five had set their sights on Su Shuâs suite, vocally insisting, âIâll pay more to switch rooms with her, why not?â They stubbornly wanted to inhabit that particular suite.
The noise varied in volume, causing Xiaoâai to occasionally tilt her little head towards the door or look up at her aunt, Su Shu.
Su Shu scooped some pine nut corn into her bowl, âLittle girl, stop looking around. Eat properly and donât mind outsiders. If they dare to come in, Auntie dares to throw them all out. Donât worry; enjoy your meal!â
Just as the noise outside began to subside, suddenly, a loud bang sounded on the door, as if someone had kicked it fiercely.
Xiaoâai shuddered, Su Shuâs fury surged, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table, walking to the door to unlock it.
With a flicker of thought, a sharpened Tang Knife appeared in her hand as she slid the door open.
