Chapter 328 Xiao 5's revenge on Muchen
"What happened?" The hotel manager rushed in with three waiters and was stunned by the scene before him.
The tempered glass turntable shattered into spider web shapes, and the expensive dishes were splattered all over the wall. The people in the private room were awkwardly cleaning the soup off their bodies.
Manager Wang Lei's eye twitched. Having worked in five-star hotels for over a decade, he'd seen plenty of drunken fights and disturbances, but this was the first time he'd seen someone flip a table. Judging by the force, he must have been using every ounce of his strength.
He calmly gave the security captain a look, and he immediately blocked the door to the private room with his men. This loss would definitely cost tens of thousands of dollars.
"Dear guests," Wang Lei said with a professional smile, his voice as cold as ice, "Excuse me, who is..."
Before he could finish his words, a slender figure had already walked to the door. It was a girl in a school uniform, her ponytail neatly arranged, her backpack neatly slung over her shoulder, a stark contrast to the mess in the room.
"Make way." Mu Chen said calmly, as if she was not the one who overturned the table just now.
The security guard subconsciously wanted to stop her, but was stunned by the girl's eyes. Her gaze was like an ice-hardened blade, which made people shudder.
"Wait a minute!" Manager Wang politely and gentlemanly stopped Mu Chen. "Miss, please wait a moment. Let's settle things here first before you leave."
From the fact that there was no trace of vegetable soup on Muchen's body, it could be inferred that this skinny little girl must be the one who overturned the table.
The guests in the box across from them heard the noise and immediately the entrance was crowded with people watching. A few young people holding selfie sticks were the most enthusiastic, pointing their phone cameras directly into the box.
"Look, everyone!" a streamer with dyed yellow hair pointed his phone at the mess. "A five-star hotel has gone haywire! This table of food is going to cost at least 10,000 yuan! Double-click 666!"
The flashes of light flashed incessantly, blinding the stepfather. He instinctively raised his hands to shield his face, but the movement caused the sea cucumber hanging from his sleeve to fall to the ground with a "plop," triggering a burst of laughter.
"What's going on? A domestic violence scene?" An old lady stood on tiptoe and peeked inside, holding half a handful of melon seeds in her hand.
The older woman wearing mink sneered, "Come on, look at that bald guy's wig, it's all askew. Who's domestically abusing whom?"
The most offensive one was a big guy wearing a gold chain. He pointed the camera directly at Lin Yaozu and said, "Oh my god! Why does this guy have half a lobster hanging on his face? Is it a trendy decoration?" The live broadcast room was immediately filled with "Hahahaha".
Mu Chen watched the farce coldly, taking advantage of the chaos to move towards the door. Suddenly, a girl holding a pan-tilt camera stopped her: "Miss! You are the person involved, right? Can you say a few words?"
In the camera, the girl in school uniform forms a sharp contrast with the mess in the room.
Lin Mu paused, then suddenly smiled sweetly at the camera:
"It's nothing. My stepfather is using my father's compensation to raise our son. He even teamed up with my mother's relatives to try to get me married after high school." She spoke clearly, making sure every word was heard. "When I disagreed, they called me ignorant."
The live broadcast room exploded instantly.
"Fuck! This melon is so ripe!!"
"You dare to touch the death compensation? You are a beast!"
"Sister is so cool! I'm following you!"
The stepfather also reacted at this time and rushed over angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" But he was surrounded by the crowd holding their mobile phones.
"Uncle, could you please explain the compensation?"
"I heard your baldness is hereditary? How come your son has hair?"
“Is the sea cucumber on your suit a new product launch?”
Muchen recounted all the years of waiting for treatment to the live broadcast phone, and left the place while there were many people. He also asked Xiao 5 to help add some data.
As for the hotel's compensation, since she is a minor, of course her guardian should pay the compensation.
That night, Muchen and his friends' video topped the trending search list.
There was a lot of criticism online, some condemned the scumbag father and the cheap mother, some dug deep into Muchen's family background, and some even wanted to sponsor Muchen to go to school.
Among the top ten hot searches, four are related topics:
Evidence chain of misappropriation of death compensation
Phoenix Man's stepfather's workplace
Lin Yaozu's history of school violence
Searching for Lin Mu online
“Beast!” A gaming anchor angrily slammed his keyboard during a live broadcast. “I’m going to crowdfund to hire a lawyer for my sister!” His millions of fans immediately formed a WeChat group called “Lin Mu Fan Club.”
On the morning of the third day, two white-haired elderly people stood awkwardly at the gate of the high school, and the old lady was holding a bulging cloth bag in her hand.
"Nannan..." The moment they met, the grandmother's tears fell. Her trembling hands wanted to hug the child in front of her, but she didn't dare to go forward.
Grandpa took out a yellowed old photo. The top one was a one-year-old photo. The little girl with a red hairband was held high by her young father. The blurry smiling faces of her grandparents could be seen in the background.
"Back then, your mother said we wanted to fight for compensation and wouldn't let us take you home." Grandpa dug his nails into his palm. "Last year, I secretly went to your school and saw you drooling over the roasted sweet potato stand..." The old man suddenly choked up. "But when I called your name, you left without even turning back."
Muchen felt a chill run down her spine. It turned out that day wasn't an illusion. In her memory, when Zhou Li suddenly appeared and dragged her away, there was indeed a hoarse voice calling out from behind. At the time, Zhou Li had said, "That's a scammer selling health supplements."
Grandma pulled an old handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her cloudy eyes. "Your mother doesn't want us to see you. She said you're living well in your new family. If we keep coming over to disturb you, it'll be hard for you to stay home."
"It was the young people in the village who showed us the news on their phones, and that's how we both realized how hard you've been living these past few years." The old man clenched his fists, "That woman Zhou Li, after your father got into trouble, she didn't let us see you.
She also promised us that as long as we didn't ask for compensation, she would take care of you and live a good life."
Grandpa pulled out a yellowed agreement from his old wallet. Two bright red handprints sat next to Zhou Li's elegant signature. "She said if you get the compensation, she'll send you to an international school!"
Lin Mu stared at the small print at the end of the agreement: "Voluntarily relinquish all of Lin Jianguo's inheritance and accident compensation." Tear-stained pen marks still lingered on the paper. Grandpa and grandma couldn't write "voluntary," so Zhou Li traced them while holding their hands.
Grandpa's military canteen clanged to the ground. As he bent to pick it up, a centipede-like scar appeared on the back of his neck. "When I rushed to the hospital after the car accident, I saw Zhou Li counting money with a man in a suit outside the ward..." His teeth chattered. "That man is your stepfather now!"
