Chapter 781: Keeping Up Appearances
Gu Qingjiu, however, laughed. It was laughter that sounded abrupt in such a tranquil environment.
And then, her following sentence made Yao Zixing freeze.
“Didn’t I say it at the start? You’re not qualified.”
After having said that, Gu Qingjiu simply turned around to leave.
Since he picked on her in front of so many people, why should Gu Qingjiu spare him any face?
Yao Zixing’s dignity was severely hurt, and what followed was maniac hatred.
In all his years of existence, he had never been humiliated by someone like this before.
Overwhelmed by fury, Yao Zixing’s eyes were a tad red, and he directly gave chase. “Hold it there. What did you mean by that? Don’t you know who I am?”
As Xie Yuning saw him run out, her heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, she ran after him.
Everyone instantly started talking among themselves.
After having just seen such a god-like character, who was in the mood to eat? They all left their seats immediately and ran out to watch the fun.
Zhong Xiaoxiao, Tang Han, and the rest exchanged shocked looks before going out like the rest.
Gu Qingjiu, brisk walking, arrived at the corridor.
Since she was walking, the running Yao Zixing quickly caught up to her.
There was an instance where Gu Qingjiu wanted to turn around and kick him, but considering they were in public, Gu Qingjiu didn’t act on that thought.
Unexpectedly, even though Gu Qingjiu decided to let him off, for now, Yao Zixing grabbed the edge of her arm. Because she had dodged sufficiently quickly, Yao Zixing ended up pinching the flesh on her arm. The painful sensation brought about by that pinch made Gu Qingjiu flare up a little.
He had exerted quite a great force, and Gu Qingjiu had to suppress the immense urge to kick the man right out of this place. “Are you crazy?”
Upon a stranger’s touch, Gu Qingjiu felt disgusted.
Extremely furious, Yao Zixing pointed at Gu Qingjiu and started scolding. “I, Yao Zixing, gave you face, and you...”
But before he could finish scolding, he fell into an icy underground cellar in an instant.
At the end of the corridor, the tall figure of a man appeared. His cold aura made clear his great displeasure.
As Helian Niancheng walked from that end of the corridor, there was an apparent ferocious intent emitting from his eyes.
It was more like a killing intent.
He bore his deep eyes upon Yao Zixing’s wrist.
Earlier on, he had seen that claw grabbing Gu Qingjiu’s hand.
The extremely possessive man appeared incredibly displeased at that moment.
Gu Qingjiu cast a glance at Yao Zixing, then directly walked over to Helian Niancheng.
Behind them, the classmates were quite badly startled by Helian Niancheng’s murderous aura, and each of them was shrinking their heads backward.
Helian Niancheng said nothing. He merely held Gu Qingjiu’s wrist and left with her.
But right before leaving, he cast a final look at Yao Zixing, and an unprecedented sense of despair suddenly spread out from the depths of Yao Zixing’s heart.
There was a bad premonition in his heart, one that would not go away.
Gu Qingjiu walked out with Helian Niancheng, saying with a frown, “I’ll never come to such a place again.”
As she finished speaking and the minute they came out the door, to her surprise, she saw Huo Yingcheng standing beside a luxurious car, with a cigarette hanging between his jaws. He exuded a roguish air.
Gu Qingjiu was shocked, “Brother Huo, why are you here as well?”
At the sight of Gu Qingjiu, Huo Yingcheng removed his cigarette and revealed a toothy grin. “Heh, if I’m not here, do you think your Chief Instructor will come here to help you keep up appearances?”
