243: Chapter 243 The Old Woman's Amazing Acting Skills

"Xiao Yuan, why are you..."

Lin Xiao was puzzled; just as he was about to speak, he saw an Old Woman in her fifties or sixties running over from not far away.

This Old Woman was dressed in a rather dowdy fashion, not looking like a wealthy person at all.

She had a pair of triangular eyes that revealed ruthlessness and shrewdness.

She rushed directly to Xiao Yuan's side and reached out, wanting to pick Xiao Yuan up, but Xiao Yuan was very agile and climbed directly behind Lin Xiao.

In this kind of booth, as long as someone was sitting on the outside, it was very difficult to get close to the inside.

Looking at Lin Xiao's probing gaze, the Old Woman explained with a smile: "I am so sorry, I am the child's grandmother."

"Daddy! She's lying! She's a bad person!"

Xiao Yuan hugged Lin Xiao's arm, her small body pressing tightly against Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao vaguely guessed something and smiled faintly, "She calls me Daddy, and you say you are her grandmother... Then do you know me?"

The Old Woman was stunned and hurriedly explained: "She's just babbling. Her dad hasn't been by her side since she was little, so she calls everyone she sees Daddy."

Xiao Yuan sniffled, her voice trembling as she said: "Daddy, don't listen to her nonsense, I don't know her at all!"

Lin Xiao patted Xiao Yuan's back calmly.

He certainly knew that this Old Woman was no good. Originally, he had only intended to tease her, but now, seeing Xiao Yuan's fearful appearance, he did not want to tangle with her any longer.

The Old Woman was still talking to herself.

Just then, quite a few people noticed the situation here, so she smiled while explaining to the people around: "Oh, children nowadays like to talk nonsense. I just didn't buy her snacks, and she's throwing a tantrum with me... I am really sorry for making a scene for everyone."

Whether it was because her acting was too realistic, or the onlookers' vigilance was too poor.

Such a clumsy excuse actually drew agreement from quite a few people.

"True, my child also likes to talk nonsense. Every day he says the kids at kindergarten hit him, but later when I asked, it never happened at all!"

"Yes, my child is the same. Sometimes when I forget to buy toys, he starts pouting at me, sigh."

"It's really not easy for this auntie to take care of a child at such an old age."

"..."

Hearing the agreement of the people around, a flash of success crossed the Old Woman's eyes.

She seemed to believe that with their support, she would soon be able to snatch the child away again.

But what she didn't expect was that Lin Xiao casually draped his jacket over Xiao Yuan and gently patted her head.

"Don't be afraid, Daddy is here."

"You... what do you mean by this?"

The Old Woman was dumbfounded.

Lin Xiao turned his head and said calmly: "I mean, she is my daughter."

Hearing this, the Old Woman couldn't recover for a long time.

The onlookers around were also full of curiosity.

The development of events was truly beyond their expectations.

It left them unable to react for a moment as to what was actually going on.

The Old Woman looked at Xiao Yuan's calm appearance and vaguely realized something.

"You, do you two know each other?"

This kind of thing was too inconceivable; she trembled her lips, finding it hard to believe.

Lin Xiao chuckled without saying much.

He just handed the egg tart from the plate to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan seemed to have been hungry for a long time; she grabbed the egg tart and began to devour it.

Lin Xiao thoughtfully handed over a glass of milk, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Seeing this scene, even if the Old Woman were stupid, she would have realized something was wrong.

Logically, she should leave immediately now, but it wasn't easy for her to catch a child.

If she just gave up like this, she wouldn't be reconciled.

Looking at the onlookers around, her shrewd triangular eyes turned, and she quickly thought of a way.

"So it's you?"

The Old Woman pretended to have suddenly realized something and took two steps back in surprise.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, not knowing what kind of trouble this old thing wanted to cause now.

He said in a deep voice: "If I were you, I would leave immediately, otherwise... bear the consequences!"

But the Old Woman had already decided to continue the act, forcefully rubbing her eyes to make her eye sockets red, then said loudly: "I just thought you looked familiar, so it really is you! Back then you wouldn't marry my daughter, and after making my daughter's belly big, you abandoned your wife and child. Now that the child is older, you're coming to snatch her!"

She was seen beating her chest and stamping her feet while speaking.

In those eyes, there was actually some real sadness and hatred.

For a moment, Lin Xiao actually admired the Old Woman's acting skills.

If the situation weren't wrong, he would even want to call Fourth Sister directly to ask if any Film Crew was lacking old actors.

"No wonder I felt you looked a bit familiar just now. You, you are truly too much!"

The Old Woman cried and sobbed in front of everyone, "My daughter sought death for you, yet you are eating in such a high-class Hotel. You are really, really..."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xiao Yuan with a sad face, "You left when you left back then, why appear again now? Do you know how much pain you have brought to my daughter and child by doing this? My daughter's mental state had just gotten a little better; the child is her everything. How is she supposed to live if you snatch the child away like this!"

Lin Xiao had intended to let this Old Woman perform a little longer, but these words were becoming more and more excessive.

If he let her continue, he was afraid that the people around wouldn't be able to bear watching.

He shook his head helplessly.

Solving this matter was too simple; he just needed to call the police, or call to find Xiao Yuan's biological parents, and everything would be solved.

But just as he wanted to reach for his phone, he found his pocket empty.

Oh no, his phone had run out of battery just now, so he left it in Third Sister's car to charge.

At this time, Third Sister should be in the lobby outside. He wanted to get up and take Xiao Yuan to find Third Sister to get the phone.

But the Old Woman blocked his path directly.

"What are you doing? I won't let you take away my daughter's lifeblood!"
