EBE Chapter 13 Temporary Hotel Stay
Chapter 13 Temporary Hotel Stay
After paying the fare, Bai Yujin carried her suitcase into the hotel.
When checking in, the receptionist looked at her with curiosity because of her heterochromatic eyes, but her good professionalism prevented her from asking any questions. She simply smiled and checked Bai Yujin in.
The hotel room was small, but clean and tidy.
Looking out the window, you can see part of Kyoto's scenery.
Bai Yujin put her suitcase aside, took out her phone and quickly searched for auction house information. Looking at the information, Bai Yujin frowned slightly. After a while, she simply put her phone in her pocket and didn't want to search anymore.
Auction houses and the like, forget about it.
Let's go out for a walk later and talk about it then.
Bai Yujin quickly tidied herself up, grabbed her room card, and left.
After leaving the hotel, Bai Yujin looked around. There weren't many people outside, but most of the shops were quite crowded. She strolled around at a leisurely pace.
While strolling around, Bai Yujin could see groups of people chatting, wandering, playing on their phones, or busy with work. As she walked, Bai Yujin's gaze couldn't help but linger on the bustling area ahead.
Before Bai Yujin even got close, she could hear the voice coming from the other side.
"You little slut, why don't you just die!"
"Isn't it just asking you to give me 500,000? What's wrong? You can't even part with that little bit of money? What have you been doing all these years in Kyoto? You haven't even earned a penny."
"I don't have that much money, Mom. Can't you just leave me alone?"
Yang Shuihua bit her lip, looking at her mother with sorrowful eyes.
"If you don't have the money, then borrow it. Your brother is waiting for this 500,000 yuan to get married. I don't care if you have the money or not. If you don't give me the money, fine, then I'll go to your company and make a scene."
"You little brat, I'll teach you to pay me back."
As Yang's mother cursed and hit, she managed to attract the attention of everyone around her. Seeing that there was something to watch, everyone rushed over.
Several people were indeed angry about Yang's mother's behavior.
"These days, there are still people who leech off their daughters. Does her son have no hands or feet? Can't he earn money himself? Does he have to suck his sister's blood to get married?"
"Even if that old lady's son gets married, he'll definitely be a mama's boy."
"He's definitely a mama's boy. If you get married, this kind of man won't amount to anything and will only drag his wife down."
Among the onlookers, a few people were whispering among themselves.
Some people even took out their phones to film the scene.
"Mom, please stop hitting me. I'll go back and figure out how to raise the money, okay?"
Yang Shuihua watched her mother's fist fall, leaving her face bruised and swollen, her body covered in bruises. It really hurt. In her mother's eyes, her younger brother was always the most important person.
She was just a lowly, insignificant girl.
She's not, she's not a lowly girl!
Yang Shuihua felt very resentful. Even so, she couldn't ignore her parents. They were her biological mother and father, and legally, she was obligated to pay them alimony and child support.
Thinking of this, despair was evident in Yang Shuihua's eyes.
She really didn't want to stay in that kind of family anymore; it was too oppressive.
Yang's mother seemed to be exhausted from beating her. She was panting heavily when she pointed at Yang Shuihua's nose and threatened, "I'm only giving you three days. If you can't come up with the money, I'll break your legs."
Yang Shuihua nodded, her body trembling. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back. She knew that this farce was only temporarily over.
But her predicament was not resolved.
Bai Yujin stood on the periphery, watching the scene before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She shook her head inwardly; there was nothing she could do to help with this.
Bai Yujin turned to leave, and just as she did, a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform approached, trying to stop the farce: "This is a public place, please do not make loud noise here and disturb other guests."
Yang's mother was unmoved and pointed at the security guard, cursing him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to meddle in my business? What business is it of yours if I'm disciplining my daughter?"
The security guard looked hesitant, but still insisted on speaking.
"Madam, if you don't stop, I'm calling the police."
"Go ahead and call the police if you dare. Someone like you wouldn't dare to call the police."
As soon as Yang's mother finished speaking, she heard several voices coming from the surrounding area.
"Why don't you dare?"
"Hmph, so what if you're old? Let me tell you, I called the police. What, you want to hit me? Then try it!"
"Damn it, I've disliked this old lady for a long time."
"She dares to lay a hand on her own daughter. Who knows if she'll lay a hand on her daughter-in-law in the future? Everyone, if your daughter, sister, or younger sister married into a family like this, would you want to see this happen?"
"Who would want to marry into such a family?"
"A mother like that doesn't deserve to live!"
"You bloodsucking worms, get out of here!"
"Get out of here, you don't deserve to stand here."
The group couldn't help but empathize with her. Seeing the girl who had been beaten, their eyes reddened, and they all rushed forward to pull Yang Shuihua to their sides, afraid that she would be hurt again.
"Anyway, we've already called the police. This damned woman should just go to jail."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of police sirens approached.
As they approached, they heard voices all around them, and onlookers were making various accusations against the police. The voices rose and fell, and the scene almost became chaotic. Several other police officers quickly got out of their car, came forward, and brought the situation under control.
"Everyone, stay calm and don't get agitated."
A police officer shouted, his voice steady and powerful, which quieted many people down.
When Yang's mother saw the police officer arrive, her face turned pale.
But she still tried to remain calm and argued, "Officer, this is my family matter. Some people just like to meddle in other people's business."
"Whether it's a family matter or not, we will naturally make our own judgment. Now that someone has called the police claiming that a violent incident has occurred here, we need to conduct an investigation."
Officer Liu spoke seriously, then turned to Yang Shuihua.
"Miss, are you alright? Do you need our help?"
Yang Shuihua covered the wound on her face, her voice choked with sobs and weak.
"Officer, do you think this kind of wound counts? I have them too, old wounds too. From childhood to adulthood, I've always been either scolded or beaten. Can I apply to sever ties with my family?"
Yang Shuihua's words shocked the police officers and onlookers present.
Officer Liu frowned. He could tell that this was a serious case of domestic violence, and Yang Shuihua's pleas were also unusual.
But her experience clearly went beyond the scope of ordinary household matters.
"Severing ties" is a legal procedure that refers to the legal right of children to sever their parent-child relationship under certain conditions. This usually involves serious cases of domestic abuse.
“Ms. Yang, we will record your situation in detail and provide you with the necessary assistance,” Officer Liu said gently.
