Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The whole laboratory went silent instantly.
Everyone was stunned by Yao Xiaohui’s reckless act, as no one expected her to act up suddenly.
Yun Xi glanced at the liquid puddle on the ground. Although it wasn’t an acid, it was still a corrosive chemical. Terrifying memories of her previous life flooded her mind, sending s.h.i.+vers down her spine.
“Yun Xi, are you alright?!” Finally recovering from her shock, Zhao Yumo turned sharply to Yao Xiaohui and kicked her hard on the knees.
Zhao Yumo had been training with Fool Jiang recently, and her reaction speed and strength had improved. So, Yao Xiaohui was completely caught off guard with just a kick from her, and she fell to her knees right away.
After realizing what she had done, the excruciating pain from her knees and fear had completely broken Yao Xiaohui.
Earlier on, she may still have been able to think about the consequences of her actions. But now, she didn’t even dare to think about it because she wouldn’t be able to handle it no matter what.
“Girl! Are you alright? Were you injured?”
Jiang Chenghuan quickly stepped forward to help Yun Xi up. Worried about her, he checked if she had any injuries. He then turned to look at Yao Xiaohui after making sure Yun Xi was alright, casting a cold and murderous look at the person on the ground.
Fortunately, Yun Xi reacted quickly and managed to move away quickly. If she was injured, Jiang Chenghuan could not even count the number of people who wouldn’t let him off on the fingers of one hand.
Jiang Chenghuan knew that Mu Jinzhi would be the first to get even with him. Even his parents would hold him accountable for what happened to Yun Xi because they treated her as if she were their daughter. There would also be the powerful Xiao Jinglin to top it all off!
“I’m alright.” Yun Xi stood up steadily and dusted herself off. Then, with a stern and cold look on her face, she turned to look at Yao Xiaohui, who was kneeling on the ground. “I was going to let you off, but now… you have really dug your own grave.”
Yun Xi turned to talk to Fool Jiang with a calm voice that could send chills down one’s spine. “Deal with her however you want to. But she must pay for what she did, so people wouldn’t think that I am an easy person and target to bully.”
“I know what to do! Since she dared to do this to you, I will let her know what’s a fate worse than death!”
Jiang Chenghuan sneered. He looked at the cla.s.s monitor, Ding Kai, with his eyebrows raised and said, “Clean the place up! And everyone, move along and don’t crowd around anymore!”
Yun Xi left the laboratory with Zhao Yumo and Jiang Chenghuan. Yao Xiaohui finally came back to her senses amidst all the whispering and discussion. She then burst out crying hysterically on the ground.
All her schoolmates moved along around her. After seeing her ridiculous actions, no one cared nor sympathized with her.
Yun Xi’s hands were still slightly trembling when they got into Jiang Chenghuan’s car. Her palms were covered in cold sweat on this warm yet still cooling spring day.
“Are you alright?” Zhao Yumo asked when she saw that Yun Xi was shockingly pale and huddled up in her seat without a word.
“I’m alright…” Yun Xi came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly. “I was just feeling a little cold.”
Zhao Yumo shot a look at Fool Jiang, who was sitting in front beside the driver, and he immediately turned up the heating in the car. He was worried about Yun Xi acting like this, “Did the incident scare you?”
“No. Don’t worry.” Yun Xi smiled once again. She then looked at the time on her phone and said, “I am suddenly a little hungry, so let’s go eat something!”
“Sure! Let’s go to Jingding, so you can eat something nice and feel better. I’ll deal with the problem, so don’t worry about it.
“I am not worried.” Even though she was kind to the others, it doesn’t mean that they will do the same for her. Since that’s the case, one could only follow the laws of survival, which would be that only the strongest will survive.
After lunch, Jiang Chenghuan sent Yun Xi back to the Xiao family’s villa. Xiao Jinglin came out of the house when he heard a car, and he was relieved to see that Yun Xi was alright.
Xiao Jinglin was really shocked when Xiaosi called to tell him about the incident in school. Fortunately, Yun Xi wasn’t injured at all. Otherwise, Jingdu University would not need to have any more laboratory cla.s.ses in the future!
