Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Female Hero
Yang Xuerong saw Jiang Xi and Qian Lili breathe a sigh of relief. She cried out anxiously, "Please save me! I have nothing to do with him. He insisted on dragging me out."
Jiang Xi nodded: "Don't worry, we are here to save you."
Liu Bo glanced at Jiang Xi and Qian Lili, his eyes narrowed. "What are you two doing here? Do you want to play with us? You're pretty, but I'm not that interested today. Get out of here right now if you know what's best for you. I need to explain things to Yang Xuerong."
Qian Lili: "You need to make it clear to Yang Xuerong. You have no nerve. If you want to talk to her, just talk to her."
Liu Bo continued his rhetoric: "I'm her boyfriend. I spend all my money and effort on her. So what? Why are you meddling in our dating life? I advise you to stop meddling, or I'll beat you up too!"
Qian Lili's mocking expression was undisguised. "Your boyfriend? I think you're daydreaming! You look like a toad. Yang Xuerong would have to be blind to fall for you. I don't believe it. You must have been dreaming yesterday. Otherwise, why would you look like a ghost and come out to scare people in broad daylight?"
Jiang Xi also snorted: "This is the first time I've seen someone as ordinary as you and yet so confident. Let go of your hand immediately, or I'll report you to the police and sue you for hooliganism!"
Liu Bo didn't expect Jiang Xi to be so stubborn. He stiffened his neck and said, "I won't let go. What can you do to me?"
Although Jiang Xi and Qian Lili are two people, they are two girls. Jiang Xi looks very thin, and Qian Lili is a little fatter than Jiang Xi, but not that fat. Liu Bo is not afraid of them at all. At worst, the three of them can do it together.
Jiang Xi and Qian Lili looked at each other. Since they couldn't make him understand, they should just stop treating him as a human being.
Jiang Xi and Qian Lili approached step by step. Liu Bo suddenly had a bad premonition and said in a panic: "What do you want to do? I tell you, hitting people is illegal!"
Jiang Xi almost laughed out loud: "We did want to beat you up, but who here saw us? Besides, you're a man, and you're being beaten by a few girls. You should be ashamed. You can just shout about it. Anyway, it's a victory for us, but a bad record for you."
Liu Bo was frightened and let go of Yang Xuerong and prepared to run, but Jiang Xi grabbed him by the back of the collar. Qian Lili kicked Liu Bo to the ground.
Jiang Xi grabbed Liu Bo by the back of his collar and stepped on his back, pulling him up. He said to Yang Xuerong, "This bastard has framed you so much today and is trying to hurt you. Do you want to hit him a few times?"
Yang Xuerong was terrified at first. Her wrists were already bruised from being pulled. Thinking of everyone's discussion and Liu Bo's sarcasm, Yang Xuerong said, "Yes."
Yang Xuerong approached Liu Bo step by step, her innocent face full of mockery. She slapped Liu Bo in the face with all her strength: "I don't want to have anything to do with you at all. People like you make me sick just by looking at them for a second. You keep pestering me. You are not human!"
Liu Bo was speechless the moment he was slapped. The slap was so painful. He wanted to step back, but Jiang Xi held his collar firmly. The foot on his back felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and Qian Lili was staring at him in front of him. Liu Bo was caught in a dilemma and could only passively take the beating.
Yang Xuerong mustered up the courage to slap Liu Bo once more, then rested for a while and slapped him several more times until he was completely exhausted.
Yang Xuerong fell to the ground, thinking of the hardships she had gone through, the panic and helplessness just now, and the rumors, Yang Xuerong couldn't help but sob.
Jiang Xi comforted her, "It's not your fault. It's not your fault that you're beautiful. People will always be jealous of someone who's better, prettier, or more talented than them, and slander you. But you don't have to be afraid. Everything will pass. The best way to fight back is to live a better and better life so that they can never reach you."
Yang Xuerong looked up at Jiang Xi, the girl she had just met for the first time today. She had shown her the utmost kindness and support. "Thank you. I will help you design the gift box. I don't want any money."
Jiang Xi...this honest girl is still thinking about the gift box.
Jiang Xi said, "Let's put it this way. I won't give you less money. We were just being brave and righteous in this matter. Let's send him to the police station first."
Jiang Xi would never let Liu Bo go. A man like Liu Bo would not learn his lesson after being beaten. He would definitely harass Yang Xuerong again. Instead of doing that, it would be better to send him to the police station.
Liu Bo was terrified. If he was charged with hooliganism, it would be no joke. He begged, "Please let me go. I was anxious for a moment and lost my mind. I won't do that again."
Jiang Xi: "Next time? You're still thinking about a next time. Do you know how important a girl's reputation is? You forced her for your own selfish desires and caused her so much harm. And you just said a few words and it was over. You have to bear the consequences for everything you do. Don't worry, I heard that the police station is very strict in sentencing hooliganism. You might even get a few peanuts. Just bear with it."
Li Bo trembled with fear and nearly collapsed to the ground. Jiang Xi and Qian Lili each grabbed one of Liu Bo's arms and lifted her up. Jiang Xi said to Yang Xuerong, "Let's go. You lead the way. Let's take the most crowded road in your school."
Yang Xuerong didn't understand why, but Jiang Xi and Qian Lili were like gods sent from heaven, making her feel very safe, and she agreed unconsciously.
Two girls were holding a man on each side, and were following the beauty from the Fine Arts Department. They were walking on the busiest street of Shanghai University, and the students passing by couldn't help but stop to watch.
"What's going on? Who is that guy? Why is the beauty in the school with them?"
"I don't know those two girls either. They look skinny, but are they that strong?"
"I've never seen this kind of scene before. Two women holding up a man, and his face is swollen. What on earth is going on?"
Jiang Xi saw more and more people coming, and he was ready to get angry. Jiang Xi said loudly, "This guy is called Liu Bo. He's been a hooligan in the school. Ever since he met Yang Xuerong, he has been pestering her. He even ran into the school to pester her, claiming to be Yang Xuerong's partner. He lied and slandered Yang Xuerong, destroying her reputation. Now we need to send him to the police station and make him receive the punishment he deserves!"
"So that's how it is. This guy is so bold that he actually ran into the school to harass people."
"Why were there two girls saving people? Where were the other students? Were they the only ones who saw it?"
Everyone questioned this, but Jiang Xi wouldn't excuse those students who had just stood by and made sarcastic remarks. "I used to think art students were all refined, but I never expected art students to be so unremarkable. Seeing a girl being dragged, their first thought was to collude with the bad guys and accuse her of adultery, instead of stepping forward to help. How can they create good art with such a level of skill? Their minds are so filthy, and the world they see is so filthy, how can their paintings be anything good?"
Jiang Xi's voice was so loud it practically pierced everyone's eardrums, and everyone started a discussion again. "He's scolding everyone in the art department. Are they really just going to stand by and watch someone die? That's not going to happen, is it?"
"There are only a dozen or so people in the art department. Maybe there are too few people. Maybe we can't do anything to save them even if we want to."
"There are only about a dozen people, and half of them are bad guys. That's a disproportionate number. I used to think they were amazing when I saw them carrying sketchpads out to sketch every day, but I didn't expect them to be like that."
"Let alone college students, even ordinary people shouldn't stand by and watch someone die."
"This guy is so disgusting. Even though people don't want to date him, he comes to pester others and even comes to school. Look at him, he's so ugly that I can't eat."
"This is the first time I've seen such an ugly guy, and he's so short. Standing next to the girls, he's not even as tall as them. He's just a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Liu Bo was held by Jiang Xi and Qian Lili and didn't dare to speak at all. Qian Lili and Jiang Xi looked thin, and their hands were like iron clamps hooked on his shoulders. Liu Bo felt that his shoulders were about to break. If he said one more word, his shoulders would be completely broken.
Liu Bo felt so embarrassed and awkward for the first time in his life. People passing by pointed at him and talked about him. He was ugly to begin with, and now because of the slap, his cheeks were swollen like a pig's head, making him even uglier.
Jiang Xi clarified the matter for Yang Xuerong and took Liu Bo to the police station. When they entered the police station, the police were shocked to see the posture of the few people.
Jiang Xi let go of Liu Bo, and Liu Bo almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Jiang Xi told the police, "Comrades, this man went to Shanghai University to behave like a hooligan, intending to kidnap Yang Xuerong and even commit indecent acts. After we found him, he brazenly stated that he would continue to commit crimes, so we took him to the police station."
Yang Xuerong also said: "I don't know him at all. He has been pestering me. Today he suddenly came to school and tried to take me away. He also said he was my girlfriend and wanted to do something terrible to me."
Yang Xuerong was frightened. If Jiang Xi and Qian Lili had not appeared today, Yang Xuerong didn't know what would have happened. Thinking of that situation, Yang Xuerong trembled all over and couldn't help crying.
The public security officer said sternly, "Don't worry, we will never allow such a thing to happen. We will give you an explanation."
The police officer said to Liu Bo coldly, "Hurry up and get up! Tell us what you did today."
Jiang Xi also accompanied Yang Xuerong to take the statement, and Liu Bo was destined to be punished.
After leaving the police station, Yang Xuerong felt like she had survived a disaster. She repeatedly thanked Jiang Xi and Qian Lili, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened. I will design the packaging boxes and posters for you. I don't want any money."
Yang Xuerong thought about it and realized that she had no money and didn't know what she could do to repay Jiang Xi, so she could only draw a few pictures for Jiang Xi.
This honest girl was still thinking about this. Jiang Xi shook his head and laughed, "Again, let's put it this way. I asked you to help with the painting because I saw your talent, and we were just collaborating normally. You used your abilities to get paid for your work, and that's what you deserve. But I hope you don't feel bad about this. Although it's difficult, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for it."
Yang Xuerong was silent for a long moment, then finally, as if unable to hold it back, she began to sob. "They've always said I was pretty since I was little, but I really hate my looks. Because of this, whenever I talk to male classmates, they'll say I have an ambiguous relationship with them. It used to be okay, but since I went to college and studied art, this situation has become increasingly severe. I really hate this face of mine. I've thought countless times, if only I were more ordinary-looking, then there wouldn't be so many rumors and I wouldn't suffer so much."
Yang Xuerong vented all the sadness and grievances she had experienced along the way. The malice and slander suffered by a poor and beautiful girl is unimaginable to ordinary people, and their path to growth is often more difficult.
Jiang Xi looked directly at Yang Xuerong. "You are very beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Maybe the gods in heaven pinched you very carefully, which means you are a lucky person. Don't feel sad or depressed because of this luck."
Yang Xuerong's face is indeed pleasing to the eye, pure and with a hint of coldness. Her overall temperament is also very outstanding. She is the kind of beauty that can be spotted in the crowd at a glance.
There was pure admiration in Jiang Xi's eyes, without any malice or sticky covetousness, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing, and his attitude was very matter-of-fact, which made Yang Xuerong relax a lot.
Qian Lili also said: "It's great to be beautiful. If I could be as beautiful as you, I would walk around with my head held high. As for those people, let them talk. They are just jealous. Even if they are jealous, they can't be as beautiful as me. I just want to show off in front of them and make them mad."
Yang Xuerong burst into laughter and said, "Thank you so much!"
Qian Lili was very excited on the way back: "Jiang Xi, we did a lot of things today. We negotiated a deal, reached a cooperation intention, and even played the role of a female knight in the afternoon. I really made the right decision to come to Shanghai. If I were in Changfeng County, I would never have encountered so many good things, nor would I have such a wonderful life."
Qian Lili has been in Shanghai for a long time. She missed home at first, but now she doesn't miss it at all. The excitement of Shanghai has diluted all her homesickness.
Jiang Xi let Qian Lili pull her. With such an energetic and cheerful person around, Jiang Xi felt a lot more relaxed. Suddenly, Jiang Xi remembered something. She and Qi Yu'an had an appointment to have dinner at the noodle restaurant they had been to last time this afternoon.
But because so many things happened today, Jiang Xi completely forgot about it.
When he returned to Wu Ji Zao Lu, Qi Yu'an had been waiting at the door for a long time. Because Jiang Xi suddenly disappeared last time, Qi Yu'an was still frightened. Qi Yu'an paced back and forth in Wu Ji Zao Lu, always looking at the time. If he hadn't known that Jiang Xi was going to discuss business with Qian Lili today, Qi Yu'an would have gone to look for Jiang Xi.
Seeing Jiang Xi, Qi Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and strode to Jiang Xi's side: "You are finally back."
Jiang Xi apologized a little, "I'm sorry, I was too busy today and forgot about it. When I came back, I went to see other shops with Lili, so it took some time."
No wonder Qi Yu'an thought Jiang Xi would be back soon, it turned out that he had gone to inspect other stores.
Qi Yu'an said: "It's okay, as long as you're okay."
Jiang Xi: "It's late now. Is that store closed?" Jiang Xi felt a little guilty. Qi Yu'an specially accompanied her to Shanghai, but she was busy with business and left Qi Yu'an aside. The time they spent together was originally short, and now she promised Qi Yu'an something but didn't do it.
Qi Yu'an lowered his head and moved closer to Jiang Xi, saying softly, "Comrade Jiang, don't frown. It's okay. We will have many opportunities to eat together in the future. But next time, if you can't come back early, please bring me a message, otherwise I will be worried."
Jiang Xi nodded: "I will definitely tell you in advance and I will never forget our agreement."
Love doesn't require one party to give all the time, it's a two-way thing, and Jiang Xi also wants to be nicer to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yu'an smiled and said, "I know a lot happened to you today. I heard that you even bravely took action and arrested the gangster and took him to the police station."
Jiang Xi was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Qi Yu'an smiled: "You forgot what my uncle does. I just came back from his house and he told me."
Qi Yu'an's uncle Yang Mingli is the director of the police station that Jiang Xi had just visited. When Jiang Xi took Liu Bo to the police station today, Yang Mingli vaguely heard Jiang Xi's name in the office and always felt that Jiang Xi's name sounded familiar.
Yang Mingli went out to see calmly, and saw a beautiful girl who was righteously describing how to catch a gangster. Yang Mingli knew at a glance that this was Qi Yu'an's partner, Jiang Xi, their future family.
Unexpectedly, this girl was not only pretty but also had such a strong sense of justice. Yang Mingli originally wanted to say hello to Jiang Xi, but Qi Yu'an had not arranged for them to meet beforehand. It would be a bit abrupt to say hello rashly. Yang Mingli was afraid of scaring Jiang Xi, so he had to give up.
Qi Yu'an took advantage of the time when Jiang Xi went to discuss business to go to Yang Mingli's house. He and Yang Mingli have always had a good relationship. When he was young, he often came to Yang Mingli's house to play, so Yang Mingli's wife Zhu Hong also liked Qi Yu'an very much.
Qi Yu'an is good at talking in front of the elders, and his mouth is sweet, which makes Zhu Hong smile happily: "You haven't come here to play for a long time. I thought you were going to forget about me, your aunt. You must come here more often in the future. I am alone at home and just want to talk to someone. You know that your uncle is a blockhead. I can't get along with him. You are really good at talking."
Qi Yu'an used to come to Yang Mingli's house every summer vacation and was very close to Zhu Hong. Zhu Hong treated Qi Yu'an as her own son and missed him a little after not seeing him for a long time.
When Yang Mingli opened the door, he saw his wife holding Qi Yu'an's hand, and expressing her longing for Qi Yu'an with tears in her eyes.
Yang Mingli...his wife rarely treats him so kindly. Sometimes when he is on a business trip, his wife wishes he could stay away for a few more days. How could she treat him like Qi Yu'an?
Yang Mingli felt a little jealous, but as an elder he couldn't be jealous of the younger generation. Yang Mingli still had some integrity in this regard. He praised Jiang Xi to Qi Yu'an for a long time in a very matter-of-fact manner, and asked Qi Yu'an to tell Jiang Xi to invite her to his home.
Zhu Hong was also very willing. She had heard a long time ago that Qi Yu'an had found a partner. Qi Yu'an had been very outstanding since he was young. He was good-looking, smart, and had a good personality. When Qi Yu'an was a child, Zhu Hong often took him shopping. Even aunties who didn't know him would rush to hold Qi Yu'an in their arms. Such a little boy grew up in the blink of an eye.
Although Qi Yu'an was still popular among the girls in the courtyard when he grew up, he was still slow to become intelligent, which made his mother extremely anxious and she often complained to Zhu Hong.
Zhu Hong couldn't help but feel anxious, but she didn't expect that Qi Yu'an had quietly found a girlfriend, and he was very protective of her in his words and deeds, and liked her very much.
How could Zhu Hong not be curious about which girl could make Qi Yu'an so infatuated with her? This boy seemed to be indifferent to everything, but in fact, he had very high standards and ordinary people were not in his eyes.
So before Qi Yu'an left, Zhu Hong repeatedly told Qi Yu'an to make sure to convey the message that they sincerely invited Jiang Xi to visit their home.
Qi Yu'an of course relayed Yang Mingli's praise of Jiang Xi to Jiang Xi word for word. His girlfriend was already very outstanding, and besides him, everyone else would praise her. The more people praised Jiang Xi, the better. Qi Yu'an just wanted Jiang Xi to know that she was very capable.
Jiang Xi was a little embarrassed: "Did your uncle see me like that today?"
Qi Yu'an said: "Yes, I guess everyone in my family knows it now. My partner is a modern heroine, as brave as a man, smart and kind, excellent in every way."
When Qian Lili saw Qi Yu'an, she automatically walked into the store and made room for the two of them. When she heard what Qi Yu'an said from afar, Qian Lili almost fell down. Comrade Qi usually looked serious, but how could he be so good at coaxing people in private? No wonder he caught Jiang Xi's eye. He was like that, yes, a male vixen.
Jiang Xi was also a little overwhelmed, and Qi Yu'an continued: "My uncle wants to invite you to his house, but if you are busy, forget it."
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes and thought. She and Qi Yu'an had been dating for such a long time and were very familiar with each other. They were not just talking for fun, but wanted a good result, so it was natural for them to meet each other's family.
Besides, his uncle had seen him today, so it would be bad to refuse. Thinking of this, Jiang Xi simply said, "Sure, I have time tomorrow morning."
Qi Yu'an was overjoyed, but he still confirmed again and again: "Really? I don't want you to force yourself. If you don't want to, I will talk to my uncle."
Jiang Xi shook his head: "No, I'm not forcing you. I also want to meet your family. I once heard you say that your family has a very good relationship, and the relationship between you two is also very good. I want to go and see what it's like."
Qi Yu'an raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, we will be like that in the future. I will treat you very well."
Jiang Xi...
