The Young Matriarch

There was a disturbance in the cafeteria as Bai Chuwei calmly packed up her acupuncture kit, completely unworried.

Ancestors must not be insulted!

Before the person involved even had a chance to speak up, a tall figure rushed over from afar, scolding loudly, “Bai, how could you commit assault and injure another student on campus?”

The newcomer was dressed in a loose men’s school uniform, with the black jacket unbuttoned to reveal the shirt inside, exuding youthful vigor, and sure enough, he looked handsome.

It was none other than Xu Xingchen.

Duan Xingye’s expression changed, and he immediately spoke up, “That’s not the right way to put it, is it? Didn’t you see the way Di Zongping was looking at Weiwei?”

As if he couldn’t wait to tear off the girl’s clothes, utterly naked!

He was ashamed to share the same gender as Di Zongping.

Xu Xingchen paused, growing more anxious as he caught Duan Xingye’s slightly cold gaze.

Although the incident of Duan Xingye’s jump from the rooftop hadn’t hit the news, it had already spread throughout the entire Haicheng upper society.

That incident had occurred right after Duan Xingye had left his home, and just yesterday, the police had come to take a statement for their inquiry.

Xu Xingchen felt a vague unease, wondering if Duan Xingye knew something.

At the same time, Xu Xingchen felt a mix of discomfort and sarcasm in his heart.

Did Duan Xingye think that he was only fit to be a friend, and not a brother? Did he really have no right to return to the Duan Family?

Xu Xingchen looked again at Duan Xingye and Bai Chuwei and reiterated, “No matter what, Bai, you can’t commit violence on campus…”

Bai Chuwei tossed her acupuncture kit back into her backpack and asked indifferently, “Where did I commit violence?”

As soon as Bai Chuwei finished speaking, Di Zongping stood up with Gao Qiaoqiao’s support, moving around a bit: “I’m fine, all good.”

Able to walk, jump, and talk.

Just now, the young girl acted like she wasn’t afraid of anyone, but wasn’t it all just to bluff him? Would she really dare to harm him?

Di Zongping sneered disdainfully.

Smiling, Bai Chuwei looked at the awkward Xu Xingchen, “Xingchen, did you hear that? He’s perfectly fine.”

“I’m done eating, heading back to class,” Bai Chuwei dropped this line and was the first to walk toward the cafeteria exit.

Duan Xingye gave Xu Xingchen a complicated look, picked up the leftover plate that Bai Chuwei had left, placed it in the tray return area, and quickly followed Bai Chuwei with Su Ruan.

Xu Xingchen stood there, feeling embarrassed as he noticed the mocking looks from the other students.

He had just stood up for Di Zongping, only to find out that the guy was perfectly fine…

“Is Xu Xingchen fighting with Duan Xingye? They both seem off.”

“Wow, does that mean Duan Xingye is ignoring Xu Xingchen now?”

“…”

Surrounded by a buzz of comments, Xu Xingchen, his face a mix of red and white, quickly fled to avoid everyone’s gaze.

On the other end, Duan Xingye and Su Ruan caught up with Bai Chuwei’s pace, and Duan Xingye said with relief, “Weiwei, thankfully you didn’t take action in front of everyone, or else I would’ve definitely needed my uncle to step in to smooth things over.”

Admiration glowed in Su Ruan’s eyes as she gazed at Bai Chuwei, sparkles in her eyes, “Bai, you’re so amazing to have scared Di Zongping, the basketball team captain, like that!”

Bai Chuwei’s red lips curved slightly, “Who told you it was just to scare him?”

The ancestors never act without consequence when they do, there’s always skin to be peeled.

Duan Xingye and Su Ruan both blinked in surprise, “Huh?” Not a scare?

Bai Chuwei smiled faintly, “Indeed he’s still hopping around, but who knows if that thing of his can still be used.”
