Chapter 724 - 724 725 How is there no love

Chapter 724: Chapter 725 How is there no love Chapter 724: Chapter 725 How is there no love “Ma’am, you’ve misunderstood, she’s not my daughter,” the middle-aged man quickly interjected.

The woman also paused in surprise.

“She isn’t? Surely this young lady didn’t come to take the train by herself, did she?”

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the passengers across the aisle; amidst the clatter of the train, they all watched the unfolding scene.

The fashionable woman said to Chiang Xiao, “Little girl, could you lend your cup to the little brother to play with for a bit?”

Chiang Xiao shook her head, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

If it were a regular cup, Chiang Xiao wouldn’t mind whether it could break or not, but in truth, she had no intention of indulging someone else’s child with her belongings.

Besides, her cup was worth more than a thousand ordinary cups on the market.

Not expecting such a direct refusal, the fashionable woman’s face immediately showed some displeasure.

“I want the cup! You’re the older sister, you should let me have it!” Qing Qing pointed at Chiang Xiao and yelled loudly.

“That’s right, young lady, the little brother doesn’t understand, he’s still young, just indulge him, let him play with it. Qing Qing loses interest in his toys after just three minutes, he’ll give it back to you in a while,” said the fashionable woman, feeling very patient and speaking to Chiang Xiao in as gentle a tone as possible.

“My cup is expensive, not suitable as a toy,” Chiang Xiao quickly stuffed the cup into her backpack and spoke indifferently, “Also, I don’t know you, so how could I be his sister?”

Initially, she thought the woman might be a good mother, because she seemed cultured and patient when she started comforting her child.

But the moment the woman mentioned her as the brother’s sister, Chiang Xiao felt like scoffing.

Even if she were the child’s real sister, she would have no reason to let the brother have his way in everything, let alone with strangers.

“What’s the matter with you, young lady?” Floral Shirt Man couldn’t hold back after hearing her cold words, and sternly reprimanded, “Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue, didn’t your teachers teach you that?”

The fashionable woman followed up, “Exactly. Plus, we’re destined to be on the same train, sitting across from each other; we’re travel companions for this journey. Don’t you understand? At such a young age, how can you be so heartless?”

The couple took turns scolding Chiang Xiao, their words seemingly sensible. From across the aisle, an elderly woman also chimed in approvingly, “Young lady, it’s just a porcelain cup, isn’t it? If you don’t lend it to him, and he keeps crying and making a scene, that’s not good either. Just give it to him.”

“Yeah, yeah, what’s all the fuss?”

As other passengers started to weigh in on Chiang Xiao, the couple looked more self-assured.

Qing Qing obviously felt backed by many, and his crying became even louder.

His voice was loud and somewhat deliberately shrill with ulterior motives, truly disturbing the peace of the entire carriage.

More people began to join the ranks of those urging Chiang Xiao.

“Miss, just lend him the cup, will you? All this noise is keeping us from even dozing off, how irritating!”

“The parents should keep a closer watch, just don’t let the cup get broken.”

“If it breaks, it’s no big deal. Baibai, a cup, what’s the most it could cost, fifty cents or a dollar? If it really gets smashed, just have the parents pay for it!”

Hearing this, the fashionable woman quickly said, “I’ll keep an eye on Qing Qing, he won’t break the cup!”

“Then what’s the problem? Give him the cup!”

Chiang Xiao sat silently in her seat, showing no intention of reaching for the cup.
