She wouldn't have pulled this if she didn't see that I was just a young woman sitting alone. That was why she dared to sit here so confidently.
If it had been anyone else, especially a man, she wouldn't have dared. She was using her age as a shield, assuming that I was too embarrassed to make a fuss.
Seeing that I remained unmoved, still looking like I was demanding money from her, the old lady's resentment grew deeper.
I initially thought the old lady would not dare to do anything in front of so many people, but to my surprise, she grabbed my phone and smashed it onto the ground with all her might.
The phone flew far and the sound of the screen shattering echoed clearly.
Before I could react, she grabbed my hair and slapped me hard across the face. All the while gritting her teeth and shouting, "You want money? I'll show you! How dare you ask me for money! You should be grateful I even took your seat. My son is a big boss, just wait until we get off this train."
Pain shot through my scalp and face. Instinctively, I fought back and we started to grapple with each other.
