Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 1085

Chapter 1085: Forget It

However, it was clear that the man who was a fool in the eyes of others and a lunatic in Lu Xingzhi’s eyes could not hear the voices around him, nor could he see that there were so many people looking at him. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Jiang Yao stood. Since he was pressed to the ground and could not get up, he could only wave his hands in that direction and grin. “Honey, let’s go home! Let’s go home.”

Just as Lu Xingzhi was thinking of getting the police to get rid of that lunatic, the old woman he saw at the train station ran toward them from afar. She probably heard that her son had been beaten up and ran all the way; she was crying and scolding as she ran.

When she was right in front of Lu Xingzhi, she took a glance and recognized him. Her scolding stopped abruptly, and she quickly changed her tone to beg for mercy. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My son is a fool. He mistook me for someone else. He did not do it on purpose.”

A mother would know her son. The moment the old woman saw Lu Xingzhi, she thought of how she was chased out of the train station. She also guessed that the reason her son’s sudden outburst was because he had seen that man’s wife. He had mistaken that young girl for his wife, who had gone to only God knew where.

Even though the old woman was angry that the woman could make her obedient son go crazy as soon as she appeared, she also knew that ordinary people could not afford to offend such an influential person. The last time that happened, they could not even stay at the train station entrance. If they offended the couple again, she was afraid that she would not be able to stay in the country.

She relied on her stall to support her son. If she were driven back to the countryside, then she would not be able to support herself and her son.

“Alright, forget it. I think Jiang Yao is fine too.” Lu Yuqing saw the old woman’s weather-beaten face and could not bear to see it, so she opened her mouth to persuade Lu Xingzhi. She thought the old woman looked to be in her sixties; it was not easy for a mother to bring a mad forty-something son to set up a stall in the county on a cold day to earn some money.

“Sister, I think Sister-in-law is quite frightened.” Lu Xiaoxiao pouted at the side. “She had acted quickly, but it’s hard to say when the man will go crazy again. What if he hurts someone else? It’s better to lock him at home.”

Lu Xiaoxiao turned to Lu Xingzhi and said, “Brother, don’t you think so?”

Lu Xingzhi wanted to send the man to a mental hospital in the city, but it did not look like the old woman could afford it, so that method would not work. However, after he had scared Jiang Yao twice, he was not at ease to let it go.

What if Jiang Yao met him alone in the country when he was not around next time?

Therefore, after he heard Lu Xiaoxiao’s words, Lu Xingzhi thought for a few seconds, nodded, and said, “Don’t bring your son out in the future, or else don’t come out either.”

After he said that, Lu Xingzhi retracted his foot. The old woman also acted swiftly. As soon as Lu Xingzhi retracted his foot, she immediately grabbed her son, who was about to get up and chase after Jiang Yao again.

Although the woman was old, she was someone who worked hard. It took a lot of effort, but she managed to suppress her son, who was in his prime; she did not let him chase after Jiang Yao.

Lu Xingzhi held the oranges in his hand and urged Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuqing to hurry toward Jiang Yao, who was not far away. He asked her, “Are you scared?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I just feel like I keep meeting crazy people,” Jiang Yao said as she shook her head.

“Sister-in-law, eat an orange to calm your nerves!”

Lu Xiaoxiao took an orange from the bag in Lu Xingzhi’s hand and peeled it before she gave half of it to Jiang Yao. “It’s very sweet. If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t have eaten this.”
