Chapter 622: Auntie and Old Woman??
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Qingzi was aware that Xiao Yize held the position of vice-principal at Jin City First High School. She couldn’t shake the suspicion that Xiao Yize was intentionally singling her out.
Why else would Lin Ran be able to slip past security while she couldn’t?
Originally, she had planned to wait for Xiao Yize at the school gate today, but after a fruitless wait, she spotted Gu Jin and decided to follow her instead.
Observing Gu Jin and her companions enter Jinyang Pavilion, Ye Qingzi couldn’t help but feel surprised.
After all, these three high schoolers didn’t seem to meet the criteria for obtaining Jinyang Pavilion membership cards. Ye Qingzi surmised they must be using their parents’ cards to indulge.
“Excuse me, may we have a word?” Ye Qingzi tapped her fingers on the table and then, holding an international limited edition bag with both hands, she narrowed her eyes as she gazed down at Gu Jin.
Though Xiao Yize had referred to her as his mother’s attending doctor, Ye Qingzi regarded her as nothing more than a charlatan who relied on her looks to captivate Xiao Yize.
An impatience flickered in Gu Jin’s icy gaze. “Leave.”
Ye Qingzi’s expression hardened in response. She hadn’t anticipated such rudeness from Gu Jin. Sneering, she retorted, “What’s the matter, little girl? Are you lost without Brother Yize by your side? Truly, a country bumpkin can never rise to the level of a phoenix!”
During this period, Ye Qingzi had thoroughly researched Gu Jin.
Initially, she had hoped that Xiao Yize would recognize her as a prodigy in the medical field. Instead, she found Gu Jin to be merely a rustic newcomer thrust into wealth.
Gu Jin shot her a disdainful look. “Can’t you understand plain language?”
Gu Yang hastily finished chewing and swallowing her food, then addressed Ye Qingzi earnestly, “Ma’am, even if Teacher Xiao were here, my sister would still tell you to leave if she wished. So please depart peacefully.”
“Ma’am? How dare you address me as ma’am?” Ye Qingzi’s face contorted momentarily as she glared at Gu Yang.
Innocently, Gu Yang blinked her large eyes. “If not ma’am, should I call you old lady? It’s not unheard of. The cafeteria ladies often call us little sisters.”
If Ye Qingzi wanted to display her maturity and belittle her sister, then she could revel in that persona.
Infuriated, Ye Qingzi’s expression twisted further. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Yang.
Gu Jin sat across from Gu Yang, her gaze turning frigid as she rose and seized Ye Qingzi’s wrist, her grip firm and unyielding.
With a chilling intensity mirroring Gu Jin’s, Feng Jue, who had been calmly seated by the window, suddenly exhibited a glacial glare. In an instant, the chopsticks in his hand flew towards Ye Qingzi’s palm with startling speed.
Upon impact, the wooden chopsticks emitted a sharp crack akin to bones fracturing.
“Ah!”
Simultaneously struck by the pain in her wrist and palm, Ye Qingzi cried out in agony.
Gu Yang blinked, still processing the swift actions of her sister and Feng Jue.
Was this the velocity of an SS-Grade Mutant?
She hadn’t even discerned the movements of her Big Boss Sister and Feng Jue; it was as if, in a blur, the chopsticks had struck and Ye Qingzi had been ensnared.
The disturbance caught the attention of the manager and two waitstaff of Jinyang Pavilion.
Tears streaming down her face from the pain, Ye Qingzi attempted to wrench her hand free from Gu Jin’s grasp, but it seemed futile.
She called out to the Jinyang Pavilion staff, “What are you all waiting for? Quickly intervene! She’s about to snap my bones!”
The staff hesitated, their gazes shifting to Gu Jin. Upon witnessing her steely countenance, they promptly averted their eyes.
Gu Jin released Ye Qingzi’s hand, shaking it off with a hint of disdain.
Observing the situation, Gu Yang reached for a wet tissue and offered it to her sister.
As Gu Jin accepted the wet tissue from Gu Yang, a flicker of warmth softened her gaze. She proceeded to delicately wipe the fingers that had been gripping Ye Qingzi’s wrist.
