My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

"All these blankets, tables, carpets, curtains...do they even add up to a hundred yuan? And you dare to extort over five hundred from me!"

The lobby manager picked up the burnt corner of the quilt.

"These are imported quilts; the quilt cover alone costs 20 yuan. The burnt coffee table is made of fine mahogany, and so are the curtains..."

The lobby manager meticulously listed the value and origin of each item that was burned, as if reciting a familiar story.

Fearing that Ruan Jiaojiao wouldn't believe him, he even produced the purchase records, which clearly indicated the materials, manufacturers, and purchase prices.

Ruan Jiaojiao's face grew paler and paler. "How could a shabby hotel like yours use the most expensive things for everything?"

The lobby manager explained, "Because we are the best hotel in Shanghai, the room you and your son are staying in is one of our hotel's most luxurious rooms, and of course all the facilities and equipment in the room are the best."

Ruan Jiaojiao then remembered.

After being kicked out, she insisted on staying in the best room to save face, which cost 25 yuan a day!

She couldn't help but swallow hard, and thinking of the five hundred yuan bill, her fists hardened.

"Shen Yaozu!" she gritted her teeth, grabbing Shen Yaozu's collar and demanding, "Why did you cause trouble! What else can you do besides cause trouble?!"

Two tears welled up in Shen Yaozu's swollen eyes, and his small hands began to beat Ruan Jiaojiao repeatedly.

"I want to go home! I want to go home! You useless thing, you're the one who ruined my life! I want to go home! I don't want to be a wild child!"

Despite his young age, Shen Yaozu is quite muscular, and his fists are more powerful than a punching bag. Ruan Jiaojiao used to teach him to use his fists to hit other children, but now that his punches are landing on Ruan Jiaojiao, she finally knows how painful it is for this child to hit someone!

"Ah! You dare to hit me!" Ruan Jiaojiao was furious. She grabbed Shen Yaozu's arm, lifted him up, and started hitting him on the buttocks and back.

Shen Yaozu was not to be outdone. Even after being lifted up, he didn't forget to punch and kick, landing heavily on Ruan Jiaojiao's body with each punch and kick.

The sight of the mother and son fighting left everyone stunned.

Fearing a fatal incident, the lobby manager quickly had the mother and child separated.

"Ms. Ruan, please compensate the hotel for its losses first."

The bill was handed to Ruan Jiaojiao again. Ruan Jiaojiao was being stared at by everyone and had already lost all face. She wished she could just let go and run away.

However, the hotel seemed to have been prepared, as two security guards had been standing at the entrance ever since Ruan Jiaojiao returned.

Ruan Jiaojiao could only take out all the money she had on her, plus the money she got from Qiao Xiaqing today, which totaled a little over four hundred yuan.

That's not enough to cover the compensation.

"I'll have my mom bring the money tomorrow to make up the rest, okay?" Ruan Jiaojiao handed everything over to the lobby manager, still arrogant.

The lobby manager took the money, counted it, and said, "Okay, but Ms. Ruan, you need to leave your ID at the hotel. If you can't make the payment as agreed tomorrow, we will contact the police to handle the follow-up matters."

Another call to the police!

Ruan Jiaojiao's face flushed with anger. "Would I, Ruan Jiaojiao, owe you money and not pay it back? I said I'd pay tomorrow, and I will! Besides, I'll be staying at your hotel tonight! There's no way I'm going to run away! What you just said was an insult to me!"

"Ms. Ruan, I'm so sorry!"

"You think I'll forgive you just because you apologize! Just wait until I file a complaint against you! You snobbish jerk!"

The lobby manager immediately took off his glasses, revealing a sharp gaze behind them.

"Ms. Ruan, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that your son's emotions are very unstable and he has a tendency to engage in dangerous behavior. For the safety of the hotel and its customers, we have decided to blacklist you and your son."

"What do you mean? Blacklist? You've blacklisted me!" Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes widened, feeling that the world had gone completely mad!

She, Ruan Jiaojiao, was actually blacklisted by a hotel!

That's an absolute joke!

"Yes."

"Where are we going to sleep tonight? Do you want us to be homeless? Are you even human?! My son is only three years old! I'm a beautiful woman, and you want us, a widow and orphan, to wander the streets? You're trying to kill us!"

Ruan Jiaojiao lost her temper again.

The lobby manager had lost his patience. "Ms. Ruan, would you like to call someone to come and compensate us now, or leave your ID and we'll compensate you tomorrow?"

"Ha!" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the growing crowd of onlookers, and she couldn't bear to stay any longer. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay? Give me my money back, I'm going to stay at another hotel! I don't believe your hotel is the only one in the entire city of Shanghai!"

Ruan Jiaojiao threw her ID card at the lobby manager, "Over five hundred yuan, right? I'll definitely pay you back with interest tomorrow! A bunch of poor, low-level laborers! You've offended me today, I'll make you pay!"

"What are you standing there for? I gave you your ID! Give me back the money I just gave you!"

Ruan Jiaojiao reached out to grab the money, but the lobby manager dodged her.

"This is your compensation to the hotel. I'll keep your ID for now. I'll return it to you tomorrow after all the money has been paid back."

After saying that, the lobby manager gestured towards the door, "Take care."

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Ruan Jiaojiao glared fiercely at the lobby manager and strode towards the door.

Fearing he would be left behind, Shen Yaozu hurriedly chased after him.

"Mommy, Mommy, I was wrong, please don't leave me!"

In a fit of anger, Ruan Jiaojiao ran out of the hotel, only calming down when the cold wind blew outside.

She had no money on her and no identification documents.

Where is she going to sleep tonight?

Is she really going to end up homeless?

Seeing her son clinging to her, she wanted nothing more than to slap him to death!

"It's all your fault! How could I possibly beat such an idiot like you!"

Shen Yaozu felt wronged, "It's clearly because of your bad deeds that we were kicked out of the family compound!"

"You still dare to talk back!"

"Hmph! If this lousy hotel won't let us stay, then let's go home to the family compound! Mom, let's go home to the family compound. We're already in such a miserable state, Grandma will definitely let us go back."

"Yes," Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Why don't we take this opportunity to go home to the family compound?"

"Mom!" Shen Yaozu exclaimed excitedly, "We're going back right now! I'm going to beat Da Bao and the others to death!"

Ruan Jiaojiao ignored her son, because she had another problem on her mind.

It was already dark, and the buses had stopped running.

How is she going to get home to the family hospital?

She doesn't even have the money to make a phone call to the family compound now.

Are we supposed to walk back in the dark?

No, she's so beautiful, and her son is so chubby and fair-skinned. What if she encounters a kidnapper or a thug?

I should have just stayed at the hotel, shamelessly.

Why did she reveal her true nature in public?

If she had cried and acted pitiful from the start, she might not have had to pay for the burned things!

The hotel manager was a man; she could easily win him over and gain his pity!

"Oh dear!" Ruan Jiaojiao was filled with regret.

It's all Ruan Tinghe's fault! She caused her to encounter so many unpleasant things one after another, which is why she couldn't maintain her composure for a moment!
