Chapter 210 - As Long as Quan Jue Believed Her, It Was Enough

Quan Jue and Chi Jiao both felt that Xu Ye was not the type to take things too hard.

Furthermore, it was his birthday today. Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he would not choose this day to do it in front of the entire class.

“Are you suspecting that shadow?” Quan Jue asked.

Chi Jiao nodded.

Her sixth sense told her that Xu Ye was probably thrown down by that black shadow.

If the black shadow was Zou Xingxing, then why did she attack Xu Ye?

Chi Jiao really could not understand this point.

She, Quan Jue, and Xu Ye didn’t seem to have offended Zou Xingxing.

“When Xu Ye wakes up, we’ll ask him. Then, we’ll know.” Quan Jue gently patted her shoulder. “Little kid, don’t overthink this. Thinking too much will affect your growth.”

Chi Jiao was confused.

What kind of strange logic was this?

While the two of them were talking, Xu Lingling rushed over.

“What did you feed my brother?” Xu Lingling pointed at Chi Jiao’s nose and asked loudly, “I saw you give that black pill to Quan Jue before he fed it to my brother. What are your intentions?!”

At this moment, Xu Lingling’s face was like a malevolent devil, twisted from anger and jealousy.

“It’s a medicine that can save his life,” Chi Jiao answered simply.

“Xu Lingling, take your hand away,” Quan Jue said to her, his eyes filled with disgust.

Xu Lingling felt that the two of them were echoing each other. Her jealousy was like a knife being stabbed ruthlessly into her heart.

However, she did not want Quan Jue to hate her, so she obediently lowered her hand.

However, this did not stop her from finding trouble with Chi Jiao.

“Who do you think you are? Hua Tuo[1]? You think a random pill can save my brother?” Xu Lingling looked at her mockingly. She thought that this girl before her was a joke.

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around them started to discuss.

“Yeah, that pill looks like the fake medicine my mom was fooled into buying when she went to a scenic area.”

“Chi Jiao usually looks very reliable, but why is she so willful today? It’s okay if the medicine doesn’t work, but what if he gets worse after eating it?”

“No wonder Xu Lingling is so angry. He’s her brother.”

“…”

Yi Lanlan and Dang Nan squeezed their way out of the chattering crowd and came before Chi Jiao.

“Xu Lingling, Jiaojiao did it for Xu Ye’s own good. Don’t be so ungrateful,” Dang Nan said as she looked at her.

“Exactly. Jiaojiao and Xu Ye are deskmates. It’s impossible for her to harm him,” Yi Lanlan continued.

Quan Jue put his arm around Chi Jiao’s shoulder, seemingly trying to instill a sense of security into her.

Although he did not say anything, his actions told Xu Lingling clearly that he trusted Chi Jiao.

Chi Jiao lifted her eyes to look at Quan Jue. She was a little moved.

—As long as Quan Jue believed her, it was enough. She didn’t need to explain herself to anyone else.

Xu Lingling was about to go mad with rage.

“Quan Jue, what’s your relationship with this girl? Why do you let her do whatever she wants?” Xu Lingling asked him with reddened eyes.

“We have whatever relationship you think we have,” Quan Jue said coldly.

Xu Lingling’s heart shattered into pieces.

“You harmed my brother. I’ll fight it out with you!” Overwhelmed by jealousy, Xu Lingling pounced towards Chi Jiao without thinking.
