Chapter 11: Su Yun Jiao, Apologize to Xiao Xue

"Lu Chi, don't be like that…"

Qin Xue tugged at Lu Chi's uniform sleeve, then she looked at Su Yun Jiao with a guilty expression and said, "Sorry, Jiao Jiao, Lu Chi didn't mean that; I was too abrupt."

"Don't speak for her! I know her well enough—she's just jealous of you."

Lu Chi furrowed his brows.

Su Yun Jiao watched the two people standing before her, acting in concert, and couldn't help but think of her past life.

In her past life, Lu Chi and Qin Xue had also sat like that before her, throwing the divorce agreement at her.

At that time, Lu Chi's tone was cold, as if eager to cut ties with her.

Qin Xue likewise stood aside, urging Lu Chi to speak nicely.

While Lu Chi stepped away for a moment, Qin Xue told her in detail how, over the years, he had never forgotten her and had repeatedly contacted her.

It was then that Su Yun Jiao realized her marriage of the past three years was nothing but a joke.

Engaged at eighteen, five years of companionship, followed by three years of marriage with Lu Chi.

For a full eight years, she bustled about for the Lu family.

Lu Chi didn't want her to study abroad, so she stayed home as a housewife.

When money was tightest, she had to go out to work, and after returning home Lu Chi would scold her for embarrassing him.

In eight years of marriage, she suffered two miscarriages.

The first time was because Lu Chi got into a fight over Qin Xue and ended up in jail.

She was already seven months pregnant, and she knelt begging the other party to spare Lu Chi once.

That time, she lost her first child.

The second time was when Lu Chi achieved success and fame, demanding to marry Qin Xue, who had returned from abroad.

This time, Lu Chi abandoned both her and the child together.

Thinking of these.

Su Yun Jiao felt a sourness at the tip of her nose.

Jealousy?

Why would she need to be jealous of Qin Xue?

To her, the present Lu Chi is worse than dog shit!

"Jiao Jiao, you must never listen to what Lu Chi says; I know you two have a good relationship, don't let me ruin your friendship."

Qin Xue anxiously grabbed Su Yun Jiao's hand, her face full of pleading and worry, but Su Yun Jiao shoved her away.

Qin Xue staggered two steps, almost falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Chi immediately stepped forward to support Qin Xue.

Probably because Su Yun Jiao's action angered him, Lu Chi immediately turned and shoved her away.

This time Lu Chi used considerable force, and Su Yun Jiao was shoved straight into the wall.

"Su Yun Jiao! You're going too far! Xiao Xue kindly tried to explain, and you're being shameless!"

Lu Chi's voice was loud.

The students of Class Six all came out.

Students from other classes also gathered, pointing and gossiping about Su Yun Jiao.

"Su Yun Jiao, who doesn't know she likes Lu Chi? She probably shoved him out of jealousy."

"Even if she's jealous, she shouldn't resort to violence—her mind must be terribly dark."

"What does Su Yun Jiao have to compare with Qin Xue? Qin Xue is a three-good student and a class monitor in Class One."

"She's just relying on the fact that Lu Chi used to play only with her, and she actually thinks she's his girlfriend."

…

When Zhou Xian walked out of the class, he noticed the strange looks people were giving Su Yun Jiao.

He had a dark face and said coldly, "Class is about to start! What are you doing out there? Hurry back to class!"

The Class Six students all heeded Zhou Xian's words and thus returned to the classroom.

Lu Chi hadn't wanted to make such a scene, but he took a deep breath and said, "Su Yun Jiao, apologize to Xiao Xue."

"Lu Chi, don't be like that… I think… she didn't do it on purpose."

Qin Xue said that, but she had no intention of pulling Lu Chi away.

Zhou Xian, standing nearby, couldn't help but step forward and say, "You……"

"Class Monitor."

Su Yun Jiao stopped Zhou Xian.

All that could be seen was her looking at Lu Chi and Qin Xue before her, then stepping forward a step.

Lu Chi frowned: "Su Yun Jiao, what else do you want……"

Before Lu Chi could finish speaking, Su Yun Jiao raised her hand and slapped him.

The slap was clean and decisive.

It almost echoed through the three-story hallway.

Half of Lu Chi's face turned red, and he stood frozen in place.

Su Yun Jiao coldly spat out a few words: "Apologize, you bastard!"

"Lu Chi!"

Qin Xue froze.

Isn't it said that Su Yun Jiao is introverted, a pushover, and never stands up to anyone?

How could she suddenly lash out at Lu Chi?

Lu Chi was hit so hard he hadn't come to his senses for half a day.

When he realized Su Yun Jiao had actually hit him, Lu Chi felt a surge of anger rise in his heart.

"Su, Yun, Jiao!"

Lu Chi raised his fist, clearly enraged, his eyes bloodshot: "You dare hit me!"

"Lu Chi!"

Zhou Xian immediately stepped in front of Su Yun Jiao, grabbed Lu Chi's incoming fist head-on, his face darkening: "Su Yun Jiao is a girl—what are you doing?"

"What's it to you! Don't meddle in my business with Su Yun Jiao!"

Lu Chi shoved Zhou Xian aside and was about to strike.

Not far off, the homeroom teacher had heard the commotion and snapped: "Lu Chi! What are you doing!"

Qin Xue saw the teacher arrive, her face paling instantly: "Te—teacher..."

The homeroom teacher furrowed her brows: "Qin Xue? Your class is already in session—what are you doing running to our classroom door?"

Qin Xue had always been the teachers' model student, and she had never been questioned like this before.

In an instant, Qin Xue's face flushed red; she didn't even dare to spare a glance at Lu Chi nearby, and ran back to her class.

With the homeroom teacher's arrival, Lu Chi's anger eased a fraction; he lowered his fist, gave Su Yun Jiao a hard glare, then turned and walked away, still holding his uniform.

"Lu Chi! Get back here!"

The homeroom teacher's face was dark.

I never expected Lu Chi to dare skip class right in front of her!

"Su Yun Jiao, you..."

Zhou Xian had intended to turn back to see if Su Yun Jiao was okay, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw her crying.

On Su Yun Jiao's stubborn little face, two tear tracks appeared out of nowhere.

Tears like big pearls rolled down Su Yun Jiao's cheeks.

Her stubbornness was heartbreaking.

"How... why are you crying? Did you bump somewhere?"

Zhou Xian, somewhat flustered, turned Su Yun Jiao's body toward him.

Under her uniform, a faint bruise could be seen.

Just as he was about to see Su Yun Jiao's back, Zhou Xian quickly averted his gaze and told the homeroom teacher: "Teacher, Su Yun Jiao's back seems to be injured."

Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher stepped forward two paces, slightly lifted the back of Su Yun Jiao's uniform collar, and indeed saw the area below her shoulder bruised from the impact.

"How did this happen? Is that Lu Chi crazy!"

The homeroom teacher was about to explode with anger at Lu Chi.

He usually skips class and doesn't do homework, and now he's even hitting girls!

Truly lawless!

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head, sobbing: "Teacher, my back hurts terribly—can I go to the infirmary?"
