Chapter 18: Shameless Threat
Xia Chenge simply stopped talking. She didn’t believe Ling Hanmu could talk to himself all the way to school.
She really wanted to tape the mouth of such a noisy boy to stop him from chattering incessantly.
Xia Chenge still underestimated Ling Hanmu’s talkativeness. He really kept talking non-stop as he drove slowly.
Xia Chenge watched him drive such a supercar at that speed and couldn’t help but feel sorry for the car’s wear and tear: “Can you think about your car and say a few less words, and just leave quickly?”
“A car can be bought again if it’s gone, but every minute spent with little brother is more precious than this car.” Ling Hanmu looked at Xia Chenge, extremely seriously.
Xia Chenge regretted breaking her silence. She should have remained silent.
She didn’t understand. The original owner had no interaction with Ling Hanmu at all, so why was she being pestered by this Ling Hanmu as soon as she was reborn? He was like a persistent sticker, impossible to shake off…
“Forget it, little brother, you should get in the car first. If you go to school now, you’ll definitely be late.” Ling Hanmu saw this and decided to stop while he was ahead, not continuing the previous topic.
Occasionally teasing her and seeing her bare her claws like a kitten from time to time was indeed an interesting thing.
However, what puzzled Ling Hanmu was that the former Xia Chenge was a pushover who was bullied by anyone. How could she have changed so much after waking up in the hospital? Although modern society emphasizes science in everything, he just had a supernatural feeling that the current Xia Chenge was not the former Xia Chenge!
It was as if she had a different soul…
“If you don’t get in the car, I’ll follow you to school and back like this every day.” Ling Hanmu shamelessly threatened Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge… I’ll endure it!
She walked around to the passenger side with a cold face, as if venting her anger, and slammed the car door shut forcefully, protesting Ling Hanmu’s threat.
Ling Hanmu smiled slightly but said nothing. Seeing Xia Chenge buckle her seatbelt, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
All the way, Xia Chenge turned her head away, clearly indicating her refusal to acknowledge Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu didn’t care at all; instead, he found Xia Chenge very interesting.
Other girls were eager to pretend to be weak and try to please him in various ways, but only Xia Chenge couldn’t even be bothered to put on a show for him.
Even though he had just helped her, she remained indifferent, and the occasional killing intent she exuded made even him tremble.
Ling Hanmu knew very well that those without strength had no confidence to act like this.
But Xia Chenge was arrogant, not the arrogant type of a delinquent girl, but the kind of arrogance that had absolute strength to make people grovel.
Such a huge contrast was a secret worth exploring…
At the intersection before reaching the school, Xia Chenge finally spoke: “Stop the car, I want to get off.”
Ling Hanmu stopped the car and turned his head to look at Xia Chenge: “Little brother, can you be more tactful and not so obviously burn the bridge after crossing it?”
Xia Chenge lowered her head and unbuckled her seatbelt: “I didn’t force you to build this bridge for me. Forcing others to accept your kindness is not the act of a gentleman.”
“You are cold-blooded and heartless…” Ling Hanmu accused Xia Chenge.
Before getting out of the car, Xia Chenge looked at Ling Hanmu with a fake smile: “If you didn’t assume too much, you wouldn’t think others are cold-blooded and heartless.”
For the first time, Ling Hanmu was speechless and watched Xia Chenge get out of the car and walk away.
“However, thank you anyway.” Xia Chenge, who had already walked far away, threw this sentence back at Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu found it amusing. It was as if he was begging Xia Chenge to thank him… Interesting, it was completely reversed.
He started the car and drove forward. As he passed Xia Chenge, he glanced at her.
Xia Chenge’s expression was calm, and she looked straight ahead without looking sideways.
…
As soon as Xia Chenge came out of the stairs, she saw several adults standing outside the F class classroom entrance.
She paid no attention and walked straight into the classroom.
The atmosphere in the classroom immediately changed, and her classmates looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
At the same time, Xia Chenge saw Zhou Shaohua, with someone who looked very much like him beside him, who appeared to be Zhou Father.
Zhou Shaohua also looked at her, his eyes shining.
“Is this a new classmate in our class? My name is Zhou Shaohua, and you can ask me for help if you need anything in the future!” Zhou Shaohua limped over and tried to curry favor with Xia Chenge.
The classmates in the class felt very awkward. Someone whispered to remind Zhou Shaohua that it was Xia Chenge. But Zhou Shaohua’s eyes were only on the pretty and cute girl, and he couldn’t hear what others were saying.
“Why are you sitting with that waste, Xia Chenge? Sit next to me, and I’ll protect you from now on.” Zhou Shaohua continued to try to please her.
Xia Chenge smirked mockingly: “I am the waste Xia Chenge you’re talking about!”
Zhou Shaohua froze on the spot upon hearing this, staring intently at Xia Chenge, unable to believe it.
“So you’re the one who harmed my son like this!” Zhou Father stood up, walked over menacingly, and raised his hand as if to slap her.
Xia Chenge blocked it as if by reflex, catching Zhou Father’s hand in mid-air, preventing it from moving any further down.
Zhou Father was shocked. How could this brat have so much strength?
“Waste, let go of me!” Zhou Father roared, “Or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“You made the first move, so you expect me to be polite?” Xia Chenge looked directly at him, unfazed by his aura.
“Brat, can you, a waste, really fly to the heavens?”
“I won’t fly to the heavens, but I know you’ll go to the afterlife before I do.”
With a slight exertion of force from Xia Chenge, Zhou Father immediately felt a piercing pain from his wrist and couldn’t help but cry out: “Let, let go, let go of me!”
Xia Chenge forcefully let go, and Zhou Father stumbled a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
He glared at Xia Chenge, his heart filled with rage and a twisted smile: “Very good, very capable. I’d like to see if the Xia family really doesn’t discipline you!”
After speaking, Zhou Father immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Xia Chenge could clearly hear the entire conversation on his phone. Zhou Father was calling her uncle, Xu Jingyi. Xu Jingyi stated that he was abroad and would explain to Zhou Father upon his return, and that no matter what Zhou Father did now, the Xia family was willing to bear the consequences of Xia Chenge’s mistakes.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Father glared at Xia Chenge again: “You little slut, you’re finished!” He paused, then beckoned to the Zhou family bodyguards: “Take this little slut down and teach her a good lesson. Since the Xia family doesn’t have time to discipline her, I will, to prevent her from causing harm to society in the future.”
“A waste like you shouldn’t be alive in this world, harming yourself and others, bringing shame to your parents. The sooner you die, the sooner you’ll be reborn. I’ll consider it a good deed!”
“This way, Haicheng’s reputation will be better, so as not to be ashamed because of you.”
