Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1573: Keeping the Peace, Swallowing One’s Pride!

Gu Qiaoqiao’s cold gaze locked onto the man in front of her, carrying hints of murderous intent.

The plaid man never expected, not only to not hear the soft whispers of the little beauty but instead, to be hit over the head with a book, feeling dizzy and with buzzing ears, momentarily unable to react.

Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, holding Ying Xue’s hand, quickly running toward the stairs. At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao realized that without leveraging the Mystic Sect, she was merely a girl slightly more skilled than the average. Hence, she couldn’t afford to linger in battle and needed to swiftly retreat.

However, having experienced much, she remained calm and unworried.

If she truly couldn’t leave, she wouldn’t mind a bit of a confrontation with the amulet.

There were stones everywhere, with those two already incapacitated, so she was confident.

Yet, unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t expose her Mystic Sect identity in front of Ying Xue and those three people.

As they passed the entrance, Gu Qiaoqiao picked up Ying Xue’s sketchpad and pencils that had fallen to the ground. Both then quickly descended the steps. Now on the main road, looking back, they couldn’t see the situation there, but presumably, they wouldn’t dare to chase.

At this moment, Ying Xue’s tears flowed freely, possibly from fear or relief after the ordeal, gripping Gu Qiaoqiao tightly, "Qiaoqiao, thank goodness you saw it, otherwise I’d be done for today."

"Do you know them?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked the question weighing on her mind.

Ying Xue hastily shook her head, "This is the second time I’ve seen them, the first was last week at the school gate. He said he liked me and wanted to date me. When I refused, he told me his family was wealthy and influential, that I couldn’t escape his grasp, and that he’d come looking for me soon..."

"Do you know his name?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked with furrowed brows.

"He said he’s called Lih Tianci, the boss around the academic district. His second brother-in-law is a factory director, supposedly overseeing tens of thousands, and many students at school know him because he often harasses female students,"

"Isn’t he a student of this school?"

"Of course not, but he often comes to the school. Recently, several girls have been bullied but didn’t dare speak up. I’ve been worried daily, so I’ve been very scared, Qiaoqiao what should I do, file a report? But there’s no evidence, he’d be released in a couple days, and he’d still come after me, wouldn’t he?"

Ying Xue said, choking and somewhat incoherently.

These past few days felt like years, anxious and unsure what to do, afraid to tell her parents who both had poor health, knowing this could land them back in the hospital, wouldn’t it?

But should she tolerate it like the other students?

"Doesn’t the school care? What about the security department? Do they just let outsiders in so easily?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, holding back her anger.

"I’ve heard the head of the security department is a relative of theirs."

At this moment, the two had reached the direction of the cafeteria. Turning one intersection would be the school gate; looking back and not seeing those three following, Gu Qiaoqiao was disgusted recalling the man’s earlier actions. She had never taken such a dumb loss, more so since such people are harmful. Had she not appeared in time today, Ying Xue might have been dragged to the back hill, then three men against a defenseless girl, the result would indeed be unimaginable.

Princes and paupers are equal before the law; in her view, the factory director’s brother-in-law is simply a rogue needing to be dealt with.

Nonetheless, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t go to the security department; nothing was clear, not only would it alert them, but it would damage Ying Xue’s reputation. As long as they were in the Imperial Capital, there was no rush for today. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Ying Xue, "How about you come home with me?"

Ying Xue’s eyes lit up but then decisively shook her head, "Not to trouble you, our dormitory building is quite strict, don’t worry, they can’t come up."

Today, she got so engrossed in her drawing that when she noticed, it was already late, classmates had all left, resulting in these people catching her. If not for Gu Qiaoqiao, she’d be done for today. Holding Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, Ying Xue again expressed her gratitude, "Qiaoqiao, really thank you so much, you should hurry home, I’ll go have dinner in the cafeteria."

Seeing Ying Xue like this, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t insist but gently touched her hand, a wisp of breath quietly entering her body, soothing her still wildly beating and trembling heart, Gu Qiaoqiao softly said, "I’ll come to class all this week, for now doesn’t discuss today’s events with anyone, they’ll be dealt with."

"Forget it Qiaoqiao, don’t provoke them, I’ve heard from classmates that Lih Tianci’s family has four elder sisters, all married quite well, he’s the only son and has always been lawless. Were he not to seek me out, let this matter drop..."

Keeping peace, swallowing anger!

Gu Qiaoqiao naturally understood, facing such situations without powerful backing, what else could Ying Xue do but keep peace?

Moreover, she’s a girl and in the face of public opinion is always the disadvantaged party. However, evidently, those few people might not relent easily.

But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t scare her further and instead told Ying Xue, "Go have dinner, I’m heading home, be careful and team up with classmates when you go back."

Ying Xue nodded vigorously, gratefully glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, then, clutching her belongings, quickly headed toward the cafeteria, where the crowd had increased drastically.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked in the direction they came from, still not seeing those three figures, frowned slightly but quickly walked toward the gate, Li San should be getting impatient.

Sure enough, when Gu Qiaoqiao reached the gate, Brother Li San’s car was already waiting.

At this moment, Lih Tianci finally noticed his two lackeys looking a bit off, although it was past five in the afternoon, it wasn’t winter. Today’s temperature was rather high, why were they shivering as if cold?

Trembling until their lips lost color, and after lying on the ground for some time, hadn’t got up, having only focused on the little beauty, failing to notice them.

The two useless fools, incapable of helping whatsoever at crucial moments.

Lih Tianci angrily walked over, reached out to pull these two, trying to help them stand. As he grasped their hands, these two chattering from chill suddenly felt less cold and with a little effort, managed to stand. Yet why did the boss’s hands feel so warm today? They really didn’t want to let go.
