Chapter 1584: Successive Blows

The students' chatter made the boy shrink back at once.

He turned around sluggishly, then sneered at Xu Xiaoxiao, "Who would want to listen to the class of such a trash teacher!"

After saying this, the boy took his phone and slunk away.

As he walked out of the classroom, there were still people cheering.

The sound was deafening.

The students' behavior made Xu Xiaoxiao feel very warm inside.

She took a deep breath, then said to the other students, "Thank you all for being willing to stay and listen to my lecture."

"Teacher Xu, we don't care about those rumors; we all like your teaching style and your attitude toward teaching!"

"That's right, in this information age, we can't just follow the crowd; we must have our own judgment!"

"Teacher, you should also keep it up!"

Xu Xiaoxiao listened to the students' encouragement with a smile, her heart stirred!

She said, "I am very gratified that you think this way. So, without further ado, let's begin the class."

Xu Xiaoxiao took another deep breath, then began today's lecture.

She had a burst of energy pent up inside her, so she taught with extra effort.

Her witty language, vivid examples, and agile thinking all left the students fascinated.

This class was truly spectacular!

When the class ended, the students were still left wanting more!

But as the teacher, Xu Xiaoxiao felt like she was about to collapse.

After class, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't return to the office, but went to the Lotus Pond alone.

It was very quiet there, especially suitable for clearing one's mind.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat on a stone, her expression blank.

Although there was no expression on her face, her mind was in a mess.

She recalled the things that had happened recently, wanting to sort out the threads.

But the more she thought, the more her head ached, and her temples were throbbing.

Forget it, forget it, better to let herself off the hook!

Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, preparing to think about nothing at all.

But after only a moment of quiet, Xu Xiaoxiao heard a series of footsteps.

She thought the footsteps would gradually move away.

As it turned out... they stopped behind her.

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart stirred, and she turned her head.

Then she saw Jiang Chenghao standing there, holding a dog.

This brought a joy to Xu Xiaoxiao, and she stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Sister Zhang said Lucky was making a mess at home and affecting her cleaning, so she asked me to take it out."

Xu Xiaoxiao knew this was just an excuse.

But she didn't expose it, instead teasing, "Sister Zhang bought Lucky without even consulting me; this is truly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet."

Jiang Chenghao smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.

After laughing, he asked, "Do you have class later?"

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Jiang Chenghao reached out his hand to Xu Xiaoxiao and said, "Let's go, to the Pet Park, let's go walk the dog."

Xu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "There's a Pet Park here too?"

"Of course there is, there's even a Pet Swimming Pool."

It was the first time Xu Xiaoxiao had heard of these places, and suddenly, curiosity arose in her heart.

Because of her curiosity, Xu Xiaoxiao did not refuse Jiang Chenghao's suggestion.

She even tucked one of her hands into Jiang Chenghao's palm, then walked with him.

Walking through the school, there were still faint, lingering gazes falling on Xu Xiaoxiao.

But with Jiang Chenghao by her side, Xu Xiaoxiao felt those stares became irrelevant.

But Jiang Chenghao... could not be that calm.

Whenever he discovered someone sizing Xu Xiaoxiao up, he would stare back with icy eyes.

And those who met his gaze would immediately be startled. Then they would quickly withdraw their eyes, not daring to glance around anymore.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not know about this little detail; she just snuggled up to Jiang Chenghao's side.

Afterward, they sat in the car and went to the Pet Park together with Jiang Chenghao.

This park was no different from an ordinary park.

If there was one major difference, it was that there were many dogs inside.

As soon as Lucky saw other dogs, it couldn't stay calm, wagging its tail and always wanting to rush over.

Jiang Chenghao took it to a designated area before letting go of the leash.

Suddenly, Lucky flew off like a little whirlwind!

Watching the little fellow wag its tail and run wildly, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile.

And her relaxed smile made Jiang Chenghao feel a bit relieved.

He knew Xu Xiaoxiao had been under a lot of pressure lately, and he also knew that simple comfort wouldn't have much effect.

Fortunately, there was a little cutie at home who didn't know the taste of sorrow.

Jiang Chenghao then thought of using a chicken leg to coax Xu Xiaoxiao into a good mood.

Facts proved that his choice was correct!

Jiang Chenghao raised his hand, wrapped it around Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and enjoyed this moment of peace with her.

However...

"Xu Xiaoxiao!?"

A sharp voice from behind made Xu Xiaoxiao shudder.

She wanted to turn around.

But Jiang Chenghao shielded her behind him first, then turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a family member of a victim of that lousy therapy!"

The person saying this was a middle-aged woman; her eyes were wide open, her expression was ferocious, and her voice was very loud.

Moreover, it was as if she couldn't speak without straining her neck to shout, as she shrieked, "My younger brother already had depression, and because of your treatment, he almost committed suicide! What kind of psychologist are you? You are simply a murderer!"

Had depression?

Xu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows and asked, "What is your brother's name?"

"Can you make up for it just by knowing his name? You woman, you are simply devoid of conscience!"

The woman became more agitated as she spoke, and she even picked up a Shitou and threw it at Xu Xiaoxiao!

Jiang Chenghao hurriedly hugged Xu Xiaoxiao to dodge, then used his other hand to pin the woman down and scolded coldly, "Before accusing others, please produce evidence, otherwise I will sue you for defamation! Also... you are intentionally harming someone!"

The woman shook off Jiang Chenghao's hand and shouted, "Didn't I miss!"

"That is still attempted assault; either way, you will pay the price for your impulsiveness!"

Jiang Chenghao's voice was not as loud as the woman's.

But his attitude and his gaze invisibly suppressed the woman's madness.

The woman rolled her eyes and began to attack Xu Xiaoxiao from other angles: "You are unskilled yourself, yet you come to intimidate others. Everyone, come and see, a person like this is supposed to be a role model! How is she worthy!"

Xu Xiaoxiao came here wanting to relax.

But she ended up running into such a loudmouth.

The noise made her head start to ache again!

Sigh, what a stroke of bad luck!

However, Jiang Chenghao did not think this was merely bad luck!

He narrowed his eyes and questioned, "This is the Pet Park, where is your pet?"

The woman was still brewing words to attack Xu Xiaoxiao.

She did not expect Jiang Chenghao to suddenly change the subject.

His topic even made the woman pause for a moment, before she said impatiently, "My family is watching it!"

"Then have your family bring it over."

"Why should I do whatever you say!"

"Because... you didn't bring a pet at all, but followed us here; your purpose is to incite the crowd!"

Jiang Chenghao's words made the woman feel guilty in an instant.

But her voice remained very loud: "Do you have evidence!"

"This does not require evidence, because everyone has a scale in their heart and will judge for themselves. Also..."

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant. He stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
