Chapter 70 – A Stark-Naked Threat (??????)
Jing Yunzhao understood that to deal with someone like Jiang Xia, a more straightforward method was necessary.
Jing Yunzhao had phrased it so blatantly and directly while staring at Jiang Xia with her deep, black eyes. Jiang Xia instantly understood her meaning and couldn’t help but shiver.
It was a threat! A stark-naked (obvious) threat!
Was this telling him that if he were to tattletale to the teachers or if he were to exaggerate his injury, Jing Yunzhao would attack him when it’s dark at night?!
Jiang Xia was furious. He wanted to confront Jing Yunzhao at that moment but after thinking about it for a while, he didn’t dare to do so. After all, Jing Yunzhao’s fighting skills were really first-rate. Didn’t someone ended up as a vegetable for life after a conflict with Jing Yunzhao?
He trembled. He didn’t want to be the next in line.
Jiang Xia’s mouth might have been merciless, but he was a gutless person. While cowering over his stomach, he acted as if he didn’t care. He was trying to find his way out of this embarrassing situation.
Jing Yunzhao smiled cynically after glancing at him before turning around, leaving with Xiao Haiqing.
“Little Yun? What’s wrong?” Old Man Gan Songbai, who chanced upon her as she stepped out of the hospital, quickly asked. He had noticed some abnormality with her and had assumed that she was feeling unwell.
Standing beside Gan Songbai was Gan Jinchen. He ran his eyes over her yet pretended as if he did not see her.
“Grandpa, I’m all right. One of my classmates was injured, so I came to visit her,” Jing Yunzhao rushed to explain. After saying that, she looked at Gan Jinchen and was curious: “The day of testing hasn’t arrived, right?”
They had been living under the same roof for quite a few days after all. She had heard Su Chu say that Gan Jinchen rarely returned home, even on the weekends. Usually, you could not see his interest in medicine at all just by looking at him, so Gan Jinchen appearing here (at the hospital with Grandpa Gan) was a pretty strange thing.
Disdain and awkwardness both flashed through Gan Jinchen’s eyes as he looked at her before quickly dodging her gaze. It was too obvious that it left Jing Yunzhao bewildered.
Old Grandpa Gan looked at his own grandson and blushed: “Yes, it hasn’t arrived yet. This kid had some business with me. Was your classmate injured in the eye?”
Even though there were a lot of patients here today, those among her age were only a few. Remembering the rumor going around today, Grandpa Gan became a little curious.
“Yes,” Jing Yunzhao nodded.
“I heard from my juniors that it was fortunate that a little girl had helped in time otherwise her eye would’ve been lost. It can’t be that the one who helped... was you?” Grandpa Gan exposed an excited, expectant expression.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t think that it was Jing Yunzhao. But then he remembered the mysterious Shifu behind Jing Yunzhao and thought that only Jing Yunzhao could do something like this.
The feeling he got from this little girl was really weird. It was as if she was very knowledgeable on the topic of medicine yet was also a complete newbie who couldn’t grasp things completely.
Gan Jinchen was surprised but without her response, he refused to believe it.
He had heard that Jing Yunzhao’s reputation was not good. So when he knew that she was moving in with them, he was very upset. He thought that his grandpa had been tricked by this girl.
Plus, right after she moved in, she started staying out late. She obviously seemed like she was doing some bad things, just like the rumors. What if she influenced his cousin Su Chu?
As for his reason for coming today, it was very simple. He wanted to persuade grandpa to kick her out. There was no way he would live with a girl who had a bad character.
“Yes, it was me. I had to do it as the situation was dire, but I will be more careful from now on. Before I get my medicine-practicing qualifications, I will try to not do such things again,” Jing Yunzhao nodded, expressing her sincerity.
