The old woman's voice was loud.
It echoed through the teahouse.
Old Meng didn't stop walking.
He left without looking back.
Old Meng's back disappeared through the teahouse's entrance.
A few seconds later, the air in the teahouse began flowing normally again.
"I'm so angry."
The old woman was still fuming.
"He just left like that..."
"Mom."
Madam Xiao tried to soothe the old woman.
"Don't be angry."
"That's right."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Grandma, I'm fine."
"That's because you're strong."
The old woman was still somewhat indignant.
Her grandson was strong, and had dodged the old man's attacks several times.
If he'd let his guard down even a little...
Wouldn't her grandson have been hurt?

"I thought he wouldn't leave so easily."
"Didn't someone grab him?"
"He realized he had no chance of attacking that kid again."
"Why wouldn't he leave?"
"What would he stay for?"
"To get scolded?"
"That'd serve him right."
"It would serve him right."
"But he's not stupid enough to stick around for that, is he?"
"Don't be angry."
The old man with glasses gave a wry smile.
"He's already gone..."
"Considering he's a lonely old man with no family..."
"And Xiao Xiao's fine..."
"Let's just forgive him."
The old woman's expression was still grim.
Madam Xiao pressed her lips together.
"Grandma,
