The middle-aged woman looked resolute, âYoung lady, donât be afraid. Weâve recorded all of this as evidence. If they dare to forcibly take you away, weâll call the police right here and now!â
âYes, call the police!â A man next to her chimed in, âThey wouldnât dare!â Voices rose in a chorus, filled with righteous indignation.
The elder Mrs. Zuo clutched her chest, her eyes half-closed as she started to exhale more than she inhaled.
âMom! Are you alright?â Zuo Tianfeng was frantic. âI told you we shouldnât
have come looking for her. â
Struggling for breath, Madam Zuo reached out, âQingqing, Iâ¦â
âIs that all it takes to shake you?â Si Fuqing looked down at them, her voice icy. âIâve escaped death multiple times and fought my way through. You people are truly pathetic.â
She unlocked the bike once more and prepared to mount it.
Just then, Zuo Xianyu lunged forward, grabbing Si Fuqingâs wrist with a harsh voice, âSi Fuqing, you dare to leave today?â
âSmack!â
A crisp sound rang out as Zuo Xianyuâs face was met with a powerful slap.
The force was so great that she was knocked to the ground.
Her face swelled visibly in a matter of seconds, with a trace of blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth.
The surrounding area went dead silent.
Zuo Qingya was completely stunned.
She couldnât make out how Si Fuqing had moved her hand; it seemed like a quick turn and twist, and Zuo Xianyu had been struck.
Si Fuqing flexed her wrist.
She turned her head, her eyes downcast, and within the depths of those dark pupils, only an unyielding, blood-red fury remained: âIâm warning you for the last timeâstay away from me. Iâm fully capable of killing you.â
âWhat makes you think I wouldnât dare?â
The look in her eyes was so terrifying that even the usually composed Zuo Xianyu couldnât help but shudder.
Her body trembling slightly, Zuo Xianyu could only watch as Si Fuqing wheeled her bike away, paralyzed and unable to move.
âSecond Sister!â Zuo Qingya stamped her foot but didnât dare to chase after. She helped Zuo Xianyu to her feet, âAre you alright?â
In all her years, this was the first time Zuo Xianyu had been slapped.
With her prodigious talent in business and groomed by Zuo Tianfeng as the heir, she had long been accustomed to navigating various business circles.
A pampered princess, she had never suffered such humiliation before.
âIâm fine,â Zuo Xianyu took a slow breath and quickly regained her composure.
âI remember the Chen family showing quite an interest in her.â
Zuo Qingya paused, âThe Chen family? Oh, yes! Mrs. Chen made several calls to inquire about her.â
âTell the Chen family that Si Fuqing is fair game,â Zuo Xianyu managed to stand, her face devoid of anything but coldness.
Meanwhile, the elder Mrs. Zuo fainted after seeing Si Fuqing leave.
âCall an ambulance!â Zuo Tianfeng was too distracted to settle scores with Si Fuqing, âLetâs get mom to the hospital first!â
The middle-aged woman holding her basket of vegetables spat on the ground before leaving, âYou brought this upon yourselves. Wasting air. Better off dead!â
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Ahead, Si Fuqing pushed her bike along, her expression cold and distant, her eyes slightly unfocused.
Until she heard a small voice calling her.
She turned around to see a young girl running up to her from behind, carrying a school bagâit was clear she had just finished school.
About the same age as her, around sixteen or seventeen, and just a little over 5 feet tall.
Si Fuqing stopped her bike.
âQingqing! Qingqing! â The young fanâs eyes were red, full of pitiful sorrow,
âWhy are you going through this? The Zuo family is just awful. We had no idea.â âItâs all in the past,â Si Fuqing bent down and patted her head, her voice gentle, âYour job is to study well. I donât need you to worry about me. Take care of yourselves, alright?â
The young fanâs eyes sparkled as she clenched her fists, âI will! Iâm taking the international joint examination next year. I aim to get into Etno University!â
âEtno⦠good luck, â Si Fuqing paused briefly to encourage her, âThe competition there is fierce. Donât let it corrupt you.â
The young fan looked confused, âHuh?â
âTime to go,â Si Fuqing stood up, âYou should head home.â
Once Si Fuqing left, the young fan stood in place, smiling foolishly for quite some time before taking out her phone. She logged into Si Fuqingâs fan forum and posted a message.
[Oh my gosh, Qingqing touched my head! She is so beautiful and cute, truly a kind-hearted angel!]
