Chapter 247: Beating up the Silly Girl (1/2)

Translator: Flying Lines

With the sharp pain in both her arms and chest, the young lady struggled to keep her feet before she glowered at Murong Xue.

“My beggar friend is fine, why should I take a look at him...” the young lady said indignantly as she turned round casually, only to find the beggar missing from the spot...

Not even his shadow could be seen in the bustling street full of strangers...

“Oh, where did he go?” The young lady frowned confusedly, looking around in search for him. At the sight of her waist, she was shocked that the pouch hung from her belt was gone. “My purse! Where is my purse?” She rummaged hastily, for that pouch was where she had kept all her money...

As could be seen from Murong Xue’s dark eyes, she gloated over the young lady’s loss of the purse. But to Murong Xue’s surprise, she saw the beggar in gray sneaking away but missed out his act of stealing...

Then Murong Xue turned round and walked off slowly...

“Stop right there...” the young lady yelled as she ran like a gust of wind to stop Murong Xue. She said, staring at Murong Xue, “That beggar, is he really a thief?”

“Of course, or else you would still have your purse with you.” Murong Xue squinted at her with contempt: the young lady defended the beggar for being poor, even without giving it a thought about whether he was in disguise, so she really deserved the loss of her purse...

The young lady’s eyes glittered with anger and tears almost welled up: how vicious of that beggar to have stolen her purse!

Our of the corner of her eye, she saw Murong Xue walking away slowly, so she pulled herself together before walking briskly to stop Murong Xue. Looking at Murong Xue angrily, she said, “I want my money back.”

Surprised by her words, Murong Xue asked, looking at her as if she was an idiot, “I didn’t steal your money, why are you asking me for it?”

“I lost it because of you,” the young lady said stoutly with a reproachful pout. “If you didn’t have a conflict with that beggar, why would I come here to defend him? If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have met the beggar or lost my purse...”

That girl lost her purse because of the beggar and this young lady in front of her. Now that the beggar was gone, she would of course ask the lady to pay her back.

Wryly amused by her irrational theory, Murong Xue squinted at her and said word by word, “Have I asked you to uphold justice for him, or teach me a lesson by a fight?”

The young lady got choked and shot Murong Xue a piercing glare. “In spite of all this, I lost my purse because of you. Shouldn’t you be held responsible for that?”

“Why the hell should I?” Murong Xue couldn’t help scolding her after hearing her irrational theory, even though Murong had always handled matters calmly. Since the young lady came here, she had been treating Murong in every violent way instead of helping this girl of similar age. She even asked Murong Xue for the compensation for the loss of her purse, which didn’t make any sense at all...

Murong Xue shot the girl a glare before walking past her.

Infuriated by Murong Xue’s scornful look, the young lady pounced on Murong Xue fiercely. “I said stop.”

Murong Xue felt the gust of wind that girl stirred up, so she seized the chance to avoid her attack before slapping on the girl’s chest, which was hard enough to make her lose balance and fall down.
