Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Ji Yao did not say who it was, her pitiful eyes kept drifting to Gu Xiao, who completely ignored her.

Hearing this, Gu Xiao stopped what she was doing and looked up at Ji Yao.

“I should have told you yesterday not to play these tricks again. It seems like you didn’t take my words to heart at all.”

Meeting Gu Xiao’s cold gaze and thinking of the ruthlessness that Gu Xiao had shown yesterday, Ji Yao covered her face and subconsciously took two steps back.

When she remembered that they were in school and Gu Xiao would not attack her, Ji Yao met Gu Xiao’s mocking eyes.

Although Gu Xiao didn’t say anything, Chu An spoke clearly.

“Since you’re so afraid of Xiaoxiao, why are you asking for trouble? If you behave yourself, you might be able to live a more comfortable life.” Chu An stopped smiling and looked at Ji Yao coldly. “Ji Yao, Xiaoxiao can let you off, but I, Chu An, won’t. Are you sure you want to stand here and be an eyesore?”

Ji Yao was afraid that Chu An would attack her, but she didn’t want to appear as if she was afraid of Gu Xiao.

At this moment, she was in a difficult position. She hoped that her classmates would help her, but their heads were lowered, as if they did not notice the situation here at all.

In the end, it was only when she heard the bell ring that Ji Yao found a reason to leave, so that she would not look so pathetic.

However, before leaving, Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao with a forgiving gaze.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m not angry that you hit me. We’re still good friends after that.”

With that, she did not bother with how Gu Xiao reacted and left, walking back to her seat.

Chu An sneered and tilted his head slightly closer to Gu Xiao. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person. It really disgusts me.”

Gu Xiao nodded in agreement. “It’s quite disgusting.”

“Then, Xiaoxiao, why don’t you move out and just stay with me? 1 can take care of you and teach you about questions that you don’t understand.”

Chu An spoke excitedly as he looked at the other party expectantly.

Gu Xiao looked at Chu An helplessly, but in the end, she shook her head. Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, she couldn’t help but comfort him. “Now isn’t the time, but it shouldn’t be long in the future either.”

After all, judging from Ji Yao and Jiang He’s attitudes, they probably couldn’t stand her existence anymore. They would probably make a move soon.

However… she was still looking forward to what these two people would do to her.

Chu An didn’t care about these twists and turns. He only hoped that the “not long” Gu Xiao mentioned would arrive soon.

Gu Xiao’s guess was right. Ji Yao had been avoided like she was a snake in school. Even though she did not realize at the beginning, she gradually realized that something was wrong.

Ji Yao was not stupid and quickly guessed the reason.

Hence, one night, Ji Yao called Li Wen, who was already in boarding school.

When Li Wen received the call, he could hear Ji Yao’s hoarse voice, as if she had just cried.

Sensing that something was wrong with Ji Yao, Li Wen’s heart clenched. He said worriedly, “Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Are you crying? Did someone bully you?”

Ji Yao sobbed a few times before saying to Li Wen, “All Wen, Ah Wen, don’t worry. I’m doing very well in the Ji family. No one, no one can bully me.”

When she spoke about bullying, she deliberately paused for a few seconds, as if she was afraid or timid.

Li Wen was focused on Ji Yao and naturally understood the hidden meaning in her words.

He quickly asked, “Yaoyao, do you still not believe me? If someone really bullies you, you have to tell me! To speak of nothing else, 1 can definitely help you!”

When Ji Yao heard Li Wen’s words, she deliberately paused for a few seconds and said hesitantly, “All Wen, can you really, really help me?”

After receiving Li Wen’s affirmative reply, Ji Yao finally cried and told him what had happened.

She talked about how Gu Xiao bullied her, incited their classmates to isolate her, hit her, and treated her badly..
