Chapter 118: Acting Pitiful
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang He shuddered in her heart. When Gu Xiao’s figure completely disappeared from her field of vision, Jiang He finally came back to her senses.
She hurriedly turned to look at Ji Yao. “My Yaoyao, let me see your face. That jinx Gu Xiao is really rude. How can she hit someone so casually!”
When Ji Yao heard Jiang He’s words, hatred flashed across her eyes.
However, when she lowered her hand and revealed half of her red but swollen face, there were only tears in her eyes.
“Mom, it hurts. Gu Xiao hit me so badly!”
Ji Yao wanted to cry to Jiang He, but the injury on her face was too serious. Just talking hurt, let alone crying.
She could only cry out in pain over and over again, hoping that Jiang He would stand up for her.
Jiang He looked at Ji Yao helplessly. She wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, but she was worried that she would cause more damage.
Anger burned in her heart as she turned around and roared at the servant beside her.
“Are you all blind? Can’t you see that Yaoyao is injured? Hurry up and bring the medicine over! Butler! Quick, inform the doctor to come and take a look at our Yaoyao!”
After receiving Jiang He’s instructions, the people present finally came back to their senses from Gu Xiao’s thoughts of hitting someone. They all followed Jiang He’s instructions.
After a while of chaos, the wound on Ji Yao’s face was finally treated slightly.
At night, Ji Yao was alone in her room. She covered her cheek that Gu Xiao had hit during the day and could no longer suppress the darkness in her eyes.
“Gu Xiao! 1 want you to die!” Ji Yao’s vicious words dissipated under the cover of the night.
Without anyone around, Ji Yao released her malice towards Gu Xiao. If Gu Xiao was by Ji Yao’s side now, she would probably be drowned by this thick malice.
When Gu Xiao and Ji Yao went to class again, the students in the class clearly sensed the change in the atmosphere between Gu Xiao and Ji Yao.
If there was a hint of tit-for-tat between the two of them before, there was only a pool of ice that could not be melted between them now.
The students in the class did not know what had happened again, but they tacitly distanced themselves from Ji Yao.
Even if Ji Yao took the initiative to talk to them, they would avoid her as much as possible. If they couldn’t, they would find an excuse to avoid her. As for the scar on Ji Yao’s face that she had deliberately left behind, no one cared, let alone take the initiative to care.
Her classmates’ attitudes completely disrupted Ji Yao’s plan.
Initially, she wanted to bring her injury along and let her classmates see clearly that Gu Xiao was someone who would hit someone without a word. But now… no one cared at all.
Ji Yao felt a huge change in her classmates’ attitudes and felt a little uneasy.
“Xiaoxiao, did you say something to our classmates? I really didn’t mean to break your fountain pen. Besides, didn’t you already hit me yesterday? Is Xiaoxiao still angry?”
At this moment, Ji Yao had completely forgotten that it was her initiative to act like that in the video yesterday. She only wanted her classmates to know that she had been bullied by Gu Xiao and beaten up.
Sensing the gazes of the people around her, Ji Yao couldn’t help but look even more pitiful.
Gu Xiao ignored Ji Yao and went about her own business.
Chu An raised his head impatiently and looked at Ji Yao.
Although he had long known about Ji Yao’s situation from Gu Xiao, he could not help but laugh when he saw Ji Yao’s red and swollen face.
He looked at Ji Yao playfully. “Miss Ji, why did you come to school with such a swollen face? Why? Do you finally know that you’re not likable, so you don’t care about your reputation anymore?”
Ji Yao had been different from the Ji family since she was young. At a young age, she had already done cosmetic surgery, and she was usually very careful and protective over her face.
If not for the fact that she wanted to make Gu Xiao suffer, she would never have come to school with such a face.
Hearing Chu An’s words, Ji Yao’s expression turned even uglier.
“You! How can you say that? I’m just hurt so badly that I have to do this. If it weren’t for… I wouldn’t be like this..”
