She forced herself to remain calm, swallowed her saliva, and stiffened her neck: "What did I say? Did I say something wrong?!"

"You, Lin Jianxue! Didn't you just get divorced last month?! Your ex-husband, what's his name... Jiang Yubai! Wasn't he just having an affair and got someone pregnant, and then your dad used his connections to have him executed?! Am I wrong?!"

In order to give herself courage, she spoke louder and louder, almost shouting.

However, before she could finish her words, she felt a flash before her eyes!

Lin Jianxue grabbed her neck!

"Ugh!" Liu Liwen didn't even have time to scream, she just felt her throat tighten and breathing became difficult!

Before she could react, a huge force came from her neck and threw her down hard!

“Bang!”

A dull crash!

Liu Liwen was knocked to the ground by this brute force, and the back of her head hit the cold and hard ground hard. The pain made her see stars and her ears buzz.

Then, without hesitation—

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Three loud and clear slaps suddenly exploded in the hall! Hard and heavy!

Lin Jianxue half-knelt down, pinched Liu Liwen's neck with one hand, pressing her to the ground so that she couldn't move, and with the other hand, he stretched out his left hand, expressionless face, and slapped Liu Liwen three times!

The whole process is as fast as lightning!

Not to mention Liu Liwen who was beaten dizzy, even the educated youth who were watching around were all stunned!

They stared at the scene with their mouths wide open, forgetting to react for a moment.

No one expected that this seemingly cold and quiet girl from Kyoto could be so... fierce when she started fighting!

"Ah—you! You dare to hit me?!"

The severe pain and burning sensation on her cheek finally brought Liu Liwen back to her senses.

Humiliation and anger instantly destroyed her last bit of sanity!

She screamed and struggled using her hands and feet to fight back!

She wanted to scratch Hua Lin Jianxue's coquettish face!

However, the hand that pinched her neck seemed slender, but it was surprisingly strong, like an iron clamp, suppressing her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free!

The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense, Liu Liwen's face turned red and purple, and she felt that she could hardly breathe!

She tried in vain to grab and pry Lin Jianxue's wrist with her hands, scratching several red marks on the back of the other's hand with her nails, and making a hoarse, discordant sound from her mouth.

"Lin...let...let go..."

She felt fear for the first time. Lin Jianxue's eyes were so cold, as if she wanted to kill someone!

"Lin Zhiqing! Stop it!"

"Oh my God! I'm about to be strangled to death!"

"Quick! Pull them apart!"

At this point, the stunned educated youth around them finally woke up from their dream and started screaming in surprise.

Several male educated youth, as well as several female educated youth who had just joined in the commotion, finally reacted and rushed forward in a panic, trying frantically to pull away Lin Jianxue who was holding Liu Liwen down.

"Lin Jianxue! Calm down!"

"Let's talk it over, don't use violence!"

"Let go! Liu Liwen is dying!"

The scene suddenly fell into chaos.

Just when those hands were about to pull her away, Lin Jianxue suddenly released the hands that were clamped around Liu Liwen's neck.

She leaned down, her lips pressed against Liu Liwen's ear, and said word by word in a whisper that only the two of them could hear:

"If I hear you gossiping about me behind my back again..."

"Next time, it won't be well water that's poured on your head."

“—it’s boiling water.”

After saying these three words, Lin Jianxue stood up and took a step back without waiting for others to pull her back.

When she let go, Liu Liwen, who had been rolling her eyes several times, finally got a chance to breathe. She collapsed on the ground like a dying fish, coughing violently and sobbing, with a mixture of saliva and snot, looking in a miserable state.

She covered her neck and looked at Lin Jianxue with her hands, and for the first time, her eyes were filled with real fear.

Lin Jianxue stood up and casually tidied up the slightly messy corners of her clothes.

Her clear and bright eyes swept coldly over the disheveled Liu Liwen lying on the ground, then she raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on the door of the lobby.

There, at some unknown time, a small figure stood silently.

It’s Fu Qingqing.

The fifteen-year-old girl was wearing old cotton clothes that were a little pale from washing. She had two neatly braided pigtails, and the ends of the pigtails were tied with red strings.

She was holding something tightly in her hand, her big eyes were wide open at the moment, her mouth was slightly open, staring at her blankly.

That look seemed to be filled with... shock?

Lin Jianxue paused almost imperceptibly.

How come she is here?

When did she come?

How much have you seen?

Did my ferocious look just now scare this little girl?

A trace of regret flashed through her mind, and she quickly adjusted her expression and walked straight towards Fu Qingqing at the door.

"Qingqing," she walked up to Fu Qingqing, stopped, and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you here?"

Fu Qingqing blinked her big eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice like small fans.

She didn't seem frightened by the scene just now, but seemed... a little excited? There was a strange glint in her eyes.

She reached out and handed forward the thing she was holding.

——It was a pair of brand new, khaki work gloves that looked very sturdy.

"Sister Xiaoxue," a blush flashed across the little girl's fair face, "this pair of gloves is mine, for you. Thank you for the White Rabbit milk candy you gave me yesterday." In fact, it was her brother who asked her to deliver it.

I came here to give you gloves.

Lin Jianxue looked at her slightly panicked face, and the worry in her heart was slightly relieved.

Maybe he was just frightened by the scene just now. As a child, he had never seen such a scene.

She lowered her head and looked at the gloves Fu Qingqing handed her.

The canvas gloves smelled of being washed. In this era of material scarcity, such a pair of gloves was considered a pretty good item.

She let out a breath and reached out to take the gloves.

"Thank you, Qingqing." She gave Fu Qingqing a very faint smile, "I like it."

When Fu Qingqing saw her smile, her eyes brightened and the blush on her face deepened.

She waved her hands quickly, her eyes rolling around, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had accomplished something important. Then she said with a smile, "You're welcome, Sister Xiaoxue! Um...my mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner! I won't bother you anymore, I'll go home first!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Jianxue to say anything else, the little girl turned around and ran away quickly like a rabbit.

Lin Jianxue stood there, holding a pair of gloves in her hands, watching Fu Qingqing's back as she ran away quickly, her brows slightly frowned almost imperceptibly.

Running so fast...

Could it be that she was really scared just now?

well……

If she had known Fu Qingqing would appear here, she should have been... gentler.
