The second update,

...

"Fang Mei, forget it, stop making a scene!"

Seeing this woman persist in making a scene, the man couldn't bear to watch, protecting the little girl by his side while softly trying to persuade her. He looked at the piano, hesitated, appeared ready to say something, but ultimately couldn't. It was clear that he wasn't the type who was good at socializing.

"Get lost!"

The woman didn't seem to hear him at all and even dismissively brushed him off before turning to yell at the store manager, "What are you staring at? Do you think I can't afford it?"

"That's not what I meant!"

The store manager was quite composed and spoke politely, "Since Madam insists, let me first tell you the price of this piano. If you really want to make the purchase, I'll have someone issue an invoice for you. How does that sound?"

"Speak, how much? I can afford it..."

The woman's nose was nearly lifting to the sky, she was nearly looking down on people with her nose.

"Fangfang, do you think she can really afford it? Sigh, such a fine piano to be bought by someone like her, what a waste..."

In fact, not only Tang Feifei thought this way—many onlookers shared the same sentiment. It was said that there weren't many of this piano model in Ninghai, and the owner of this music store had gone to great lengths to acquire this one as the centerpiece of the shop.

"Don't worry, we'll find out soon enough!"

Qin Fang, however, shook his head.

The woman was dressed plainly, and despite being of an advanced age, she was dressed up garishly. Qin Fang guessed she wasn't exactly high-class merchandise. Perhaps she had a little money, but the ability to spend over three million on a piano seemed beyond her.

"Madam, this piano is from the world's top piano manufacturer, Steinway & Sons, and this particular model is produced in very limited quantities. There aren't many in Ninghai either, hence the price is quite expensive! If you indeed wish to buy it, our store's asking price is 3.6 million..."

"360, got it, I can pa— What? 3.6 million? What kind of lousy place is this... just for this lousy piano you want 3.6 million..."

The woman hadn't fully processed the information at first, mistaking it for three hundred sixty, three thousand six hundred, or thirty-six thousand, ready to claim she could pay. But when she suddenly realized the true amount, her whole face contorted.

"Madam, this piano is from the world..."

The store manager still wore a smile, repeating the words exactly as before.

"Stop spewing bullshit. How is this broken piano worth 3.6 million? I'm going to sue you for scamming customers..."

The woman's face had turned a suffocating shade of blueish-purple, and she kept on ranting relentlessly.

"Every item in our store is priced as approved by the Price Bureau, all genuine and fair. If you find an issue with our pricing, you are free not to buy..."

The store manager's smile remained, "However, due to your earlier actions, our staff will inspect this piano for any damage. If damages are discovered, we are entitled to seek compensation from you..."

"Compensation, compensation... You think I can't afford to compensate? Humph, what a rip-off shop, I'm not buying..."

A shrew is a shrew, even if she is completely unreasonable, yet in her mouth, she acts as if she is always on the right side, and everyone else is wrong.

"Such a lack of class..."

"So immoral!"

"What kind of person is this? Like a madwoman!"

As the spectacle seemed to be over, the onlookers dispersed, none thinking the store was at fault. The service attitude was very good; even though the woman was being unreasonable, the store manager remained cordial throughout. In this regard, all customers present were quite pleased, at least with the service.

As for the woman, she was universally scorned, Qin Fang and the other two included.

"Let's just continue selecting a flute for Muxue, shall we?"

With the show over, the woman, looking defeated, returned to her husband and daughter. Qin Fang was no longer interested in watching and wanted to carry on with the unfinished business with the two ladies, but then...

"Crying, why cry! It's all because you, Dad, are useless..."

The woman was indeed excessively aggressive. Embarrassed herself, she still lashed out at her child and husband, which was totally unreasonable.

"This woman is despicable!"

Tang Feifei, who was naturally simple-minded and had a clear sense of right and wrong, found this woman's behavior to be extremely excessive, and even they, as outsiders, couldn't stand it.

"Forget it, there will always be such hateful people in this world..."

Facing such a shrew, Qin Fang could only shake his head helplessly and try to calm the situation.

Some things, however, don't just go away as one imagines they would. They actually become more and more outrageous.

Slap~slap~

Wahhh~~

All one could hear were these two slaps, the little girl had only been pouting, wanting to cry but not daring to. She looked so pitiful, but now her cries had suddenly become intense. It really was because the slaps were too vicious.

"You… you… You can't hit my daughter!"

Although the man looked quite genteel, seeing his daughter struck turned his face an angry shade of blue as he pointed at the woman furiously, and moved to protect his little girl behind him, fearing his precious daughter would be hit again.

"What's it to you! I'm gonna teach her a lesson today, get out of the way…"

However, the woman was relentless, even grabbing at the man's clothes, making moves to snatch the little girl back from his hands...

"Lin Hai, listen up, Weiwei is my daughter, not yours! She has nothing to do with you! We are already divorced; you have no right to interfere in my family matters…"

This shrew was indeed fearsome, not only tearing at his clothes continuously but also babbling and cursing non-stop, even trying to reach out to grab the little girl.

"Weiwei is my daughter, I won't allow you to treat her this way!"

This man named Lin Hai clearly adored his daughter greatly. Seeing the woman so savage, even a clay Buddha has a fiery temper, he immediately roared loudly, and he even wanted to hit the woman. However, although he raised his hand, he couldn't bring himself to strike down.

"Daddy, daddy, I want to be with you, not with mom…"

As this pair of ex-spouses were causing a commotion, the little girl behind them became even more pitiable. She seemed to be very afraid of her mother, crying while speaking to her father in this way.

"You little money loser! You don't even take your own mother's side but join this useless trash in bullying me; see if I don't beat you to death…"

The girl's cry only made things worse; once she shouted out, the shrew immediately flew into a rage, ripping Lin Hai's sleeve away and moving to drag the little girl aside, apparently set on giving her a severe beating.

Slap~~

That's when an arm suddenly reached out from the side, grabbing the shrew's arm, "Enough is enough! What kind of mother are you?"

Steinway & Sons were already calling the police, as the woman's behavior was severely affecting the store's business, and Qin Fang could no longer stand by, promptly intervening righteously.

+10 Strength wasn't given for nothing. Grasping the woman's arm, she suddenly found herself unable to move, and just as Qin Fang exerted a little force, the woman immediately yelped in pain.

"You... What's it to you! This is our family affair…"

The shrew never reasoned, even at that moment, still having her own excuses and accused Qin Fang of meddling in their affairs.

"Family affair? Have you ever seen family matters handled in a public place like this?"

Qin Fang sneered, flinging the woman's arm away, which sent her stumbling back several steps before she fell, bottom first, onto the ground.

"I've never seen such a heartless mother like you, embarrass yourself all you want, but taking it out on a child, that's just fucking great of you!"

Qin Fang had had enough. He couldn't stand mothers like her, as it was such an insult to the sacred title of motherhood.

Qin Fang came from a single-parent household, having never met his father and raised by his mother's hard work, he held great respect for mothers, and revered the title deeply. Yet this shrew, provoked herself, poured out her frustration onto a seven or eight-year-old child.

Not even a tiger would eat its cubs, yet this woman's heart was so cruel!

"Lin Hai, you... didn't you see this guy hit me? What are you standing there for?"

The shrew clearly had no intention of letting it go. Being no match for Qin Fang herself, she began to direct her ex-husband. Yet just moments ago, she had been mocking him as useless, tearing at his clothes, trying to snatch back her child to beat her harshly.

"We are divorced!"

Lin Hai clearly still had some backbone, intent only on protecting the child and saying with conviction, even looking at the woman with anger-filled eyes.

"Lin Hai, you jerk, coward, spineless loser... it's only because you're so useless that I cheated on you, put a green hat on your head…"

The shrew was vicious beyond limits, so shameless as to say such things in full public view.

"I'm done with you…"

Not only that, but the shrew also got up from the ground, with claws bared charging towards Qin Fang. Her face, already pretty flamboyant, with tears streaking down, now looked even more terrifying like some fierce ghost or ancient demon.

Bang~~

Qin Fang had never liked the shrew much, and to think she still didn't learn her lesson and continued causing trouble, aiming it at him this time. As she charged, he simply kicked out, and the shrew head-planted onto the floor, chin slamming against the marble with a clack. Two sounds were heard – her teeth were most likely knocked out… (*To be continued. For more, please visit www.qidian.com.
