Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife

Chapter 81 - Group Fight

Chapter 81: Group Fight

On the low wall of the alley beside them, sparrows flew away in groups as if they had been frightened.

Zhou Ce threw his backpack onto a rock and squatted on the low wall. His gaze was fixed on Yao En and Qu Xiao who were not far away.

Zhou Ce’s lackey beside him noticed that he seemed to be very interested in them. He lowered his voice and said, “Boss, do you want to go over?”

“Yao En never thinks about the consequences. The newly transferred girl seems to come from a powerful family. If she were to really get hurt, they would definitely do something to Yao En! Let’s not let him be impulsive...”

His lackey was very worried, but Zhou Ce waved his hand and told him to shut up.

They were very far away. Although Zhou Ce couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, he could see Yao En’s embarrassment through their body language.

“Don’t underestimate her. She’s not like other girls.”

“Yao En might not be able to beat her.”

Zhou Ce’s vision was very good. Although his lackey didn’t dare to question him, he still stared at the entrance of the alley with some worry.

Yao En blocked Qu Xiao’s path arrogantly.

Qu Xiao helplessly looked at the gradually darkening sky. She wanted to deal with this matter as quickly as possible. She was just about to take off her school bag and accept Yao En’s challenge when suddenly, the sound of footsteps appeared behind her.

“Yao en! You brat, I’ve finally caught you! So you’ve been hiding here!”

The gangsters from the school next door held baseball bats and blocked the entrance of the alley. They pointed at Yao En and said, “How dare you run away after stealing our territory last time? Be prepared to die!”

Yao En frowned. At this moment, with the conscience that he had, he protected Qu Xiao by keeping her behind him and said in a somewhat tense voice, “This is between us. This has nothing to do with her. Can you let her go first?”

Qu Xiao looked at Yao En’s back and then looked at the gangsters. She rubbed her temples with a headache.

“Are you really trying to reason with them?”

Although she did not know what had happened between them, Yao En’s words basically tied him and Qu Xiao together.

The gangsters from the school next door obviously thought that Qu Xiao was Yao En’s friend, so of course they did not agree to let her go.

They encircled the two of them and approached them step by step, their eyes revealing a fierce look. “You want to leave? In your dreams! Neither of you can escape!”

Qu Xiao was helpless. She pulled off the tie of her school uniform and wrapped it around her wrist. She asked softly, “How many of them can you take on?”

Yao En looked at the group of people and answered with a frown, “You don’t have to worry. I’ll distract them, later you can take the opportunity to run!”

Seeming them whispering, the gangsters waved their hands, rushing over at the same time.

Qu Xiao stepped on the brick wall of the alley and swiftly strangled one of the gangster’s neck, throwing him to the ground.

Yao En did not expect her to have such good fighting skills. Just when he got distracted, a few of the gangsters wanted to sneak up on him from behind.

Qu Xiao saw them and bent down to pick up the gravel on the ground and throw it at them.

Yao En was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly. The next second, he heard a wail coming from behind him. Only then did he realize what had happened. Yao En said with a somewhat awkward expression, “Thank you.”

The gangsters hit Yao En’s shoulder with baseball bats.

He endured the pain and turned around to kick their chests, knocking over a few of them.

Qu Xiao’s physical strength started declining. It was impossible for her and Yao En to deal with all the gangsters.

“We need to go now! Hurry up, run...”

She shouted loudly and grabbed Yao En’s arm to run away from the gangsters. Without turning her head, she frantically ran for her life.

The whistling sound of the wind blew against her ears. Yao En’s entire body was covered in sweat.

The two of them ran a few kilometers until they completely shook off the gangsters. Only then did they finally stop.

Qu Xiao propped her knees up and took a deep breath. Yao En wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth.

“Thank you for today. I guess we got to know each other a little better through fighting those gangsters.”

Yao En’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, “It’s very difficult to blend into an aristocratic school. You should be more careful in the future. If anyone wants to become friends with you, be more vigilant against them. Although you’re quite good at fighting, some things are hard to guard against.”

After this sudden group fight, Yao En and Qu Xiao’s relationship seemed to have improved somewhat.

Qu Xiao nodded and looked at the setting sun as she anxiously prepared to go home.

Yao En looked at her back and seemed to have thought of something as he called out to her, “Also, you’d better not provoke Zhou Ce...”

“He’s very powerful. If you get marked by him, I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble.”

Qu Xiao’s eyes curved as she tilted her head and thought carefully for a while. Then, she replied with a smile, “Thank you for the reminder.”

“I have a way of dealing with bad people. Don’t worry! You, on the other hand, be careful when you go back. Don’t run into them again.”

Qu Xiao gradually walked away. She raised her arm high and waved her hand. Her voice carried a straightforward smile as she said, “See you at school tomorrow!”
