Chapter 1085: Didn’t Yun Liuli Say It Earlier
“You were the one who got these people to beat him up?” Yun Liuli asked Zhong Qingfei.
Yun Liuli was just asking a question and didn’t have any other meaning behind her words.
However, Zhong Qingfei was enraged by her question, feeling that she was questioning him. He clenched his teeth and stood there. “In your eyes, I’m someone who’d beat Zhou Yuchen up just because he sat next to you for a lesson?”
“Qingfei has nothing to do with this…” Xiao Yuan spoke up. “Zhou Yuchen and I are resolving a personal matter between us. Isn’t that right, Zhou Yuchen?”
It wasn’t as if Yun Liuli hadn’t encountered campus violence back in middle school. Back then, Yun Liuli had been isolated, and some gangster girls were jealous of her for having good grades and looks. They would always be able to find excuses to block Yun Liuli in the toilet or behind the school building to teach her a lesson.
Back then, Yun Liuli didn’t have the ability to retaliate. She could only let them beat her up, and then she’d apply for leave and head home.
After that, Gu Qingcheng chanced upon her wounds. After finding out what had happened, he told Yun Liuli that everyone bullied the weak and feared the strong. The more one kept quiet and withstood all the bullying, the more they would get beaten up!
Gu Qingcheng said that he could help Yun Liuli teach the students who had bullied her a lesson, but… if she didn’t stand up for herself, she’d just get bullied by someone even stronger. One must learn to save themselves!
Gu Qingcheng had personally taught Yun Liuli combat skills. Gu Qingcheng said that… as his adopted daughter, combat skills were the most basic skills to have.
Later on, when Yun Liuli got blocked by others, she changed from not retaliating to grabbing onto one person and beating them up with all she had. After that… no one dared to bully her anymore.
Yun Liuli continued to be by herself as she did in the past, but no one dared to find excuses to teach her a lesson anymore. The people who had looked for trouble in the past would all avoid her when they saw her.
When Yun Liuli looked at Zhou Yuchen, she felt as if she was looking at her past self…
However, Yun Liuli was lucky. She had Gu Qingcheng to save her from her helplessness and despair.
Yun Liuli looked at the water bottle that was in Zhong Qingfei’s hands and said, “That’s mine…”
Zhong Qingfei nodded and gave Yun Liuli her water bottle.
“Thank you!” Yun Liuli took the water bottle and turned around. She noticed Zhou Yuchen standing there and not moving, so she tugged his wrist. “Let’s go!”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t want to bring Yun Liuli trouble and wanted to break free from her grip. However, he heard Yun Liuli say, “Do you want to stay here and get beaten up? Given how weak you are, can you win against them?”
Hearing Yun Liuli’s words, Zhong Qingfei’s friends broke out laughing as if they had just heard a joke. “The likes of him… Liuli views him too highly! He’s just a weakling, and we’d be dirtying our hands by giving him a beating!”
“That’s right! This weakling only ever gets beaten up! Liuli… why are you bothering with this weakling? See how good our Qingfei is. There are so many girls in school who like Qingfei, but he only has you in his heart. You can’t be so heartless and ignore what he has done for you!”
Yun Liuli looked at the guy who spoke up, blinked, and asked him seriously, “There are so many guys chasing me. Am I considered heartless unless I accept all of them?”
Yun Liuli’s words made everyone speechless.
That was right. The number of people chasing Yun Liuli could queue up from there all the way to the suburbs…
Yun Liuli looked at Zhong Qingfei. “Zhong Qingfei, I already have someone I love, and I’ll only love him in this lifetime. That’s why I rejected you and chose not to give you hope.”
Yun Liuli made her stance very clear.
After saying that, she tugged Zhou Yuchen and headed downstairs.
Xiao Yuan and Zhong Qingfei’s friends were all stunned…
“Yun Liuli said that… she has someone she loves! She used the word ‘love’!”
“The person she mentioned… can’t be Zhou Yuchen, right?” That guy bumped Xiao Yuan’s arm. “What freaking luck does your illegitimate younger brother have?”
“That must be a lie! How can Yun Liuli take a fancy to Zhou Yuchen? He has nothing! What can Yun Liuli get from him?”
“It might be… love. Didn’t Yun Liuli say it earlier? Love!”
“All of you shut up!” Zhong Qingfei clenched his fists and shouted, “No one is to mention this anymore! If there are rumors that Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen are together, then I’ll fall out with the person who spread the rumor!”
After saying that, Zhong Qingfei suppressed the fury in his heart and left.
“What does Qingfei mean by this? He’s speaking to his brothers like this over a girl?”
Xiao Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply, and he patted his angry friend, saying, “Qingfei isn’t in a good mood. Don’t take it to heart!”
After saying that, Xiao Yuan caught up to Zhou Yuchen and hooked his arm around Zhong Qingfei’s neck. “Don’t worry… I’ll help you take care of Zhou Yuchen. I definitely won’t let him have any connection with the girl you like!”
Zhong Qingfei felt very upset.
He had never liked a girl so much. After rejecting him and saying that they couldn’t even be friends, Yun Liuli had even misunderstood and thought that he was someone who would beat another person up. How could Zhong Qingfei not feel angry?
“Forget it. If anything happens to Zhou Yuchen, Yun Liuli will definitely push the blame on me! Moreover…” Zhong Qingfei looked at Xiao Yuan. “The matters between those from the previous generation are their matters. Even if Zhou Yuchen’s mother did something, Zhou Yuchen himself hasn’t taken a single step into your house. You shouldn’t vent your anger on him. In the future… don’t bully him anymore!”
Zhong Qingfei didn’t like Zhou Yuchen, but he did feel pity toward him.
Xiao Yuan looked at Zhong Qingfei and only said after a while, “My life was saved by you. I’ll listen to what you say!”
“Let’s go!” Zhong Qingfei sighed, patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, and left together with him.
It wasn’t as if there was no reason for Xiao Yuan to hate Zhou Yuchen’s mother. Zhou Yuchen’s mother was a deceased supermodel from France by the name Maritian Tautou.
Maritian Tautou had met Xiao Yuan’s father, Xiao Qinghai, when Xiao Yuan’s parents were on their honeymoon. Not knowing that Xiao Yuan’s father was married, she had Zhou Yuchen with Xiao Qinghai, who had assumed the name Zhou Qinghai then.
It was only when Maritian Tautou came to China to look for “Zhou Qinghai” that she realized that Zhou Qinghai was Xiao Qinghai and that Xiao Qinghai’s wife had a child as well.
When the two pregnant ladies met, everything was clear. Xiao Yuan’s mother listened to Maritian Tautou sharing her story of how she met Xiao Qinghai. She found out that her husband was the unfaithful one and that Maritian Tautou was a victim as well. Therefore, she divorced Xiao Qinghai after giving birth to Xiao Yuan and left Xiao Yuan to Xiao Qinghai.
Zhou Yuchen’s mother didn’t choose to be with the scumbag Xiao Qinghai either. After giving birth, she continued to flourish on her modeling path. However, when Zhou Yuchen turned three and a half years old, Maritian Tautou passed away from cancer.
Xiao Yuan, who lost his mother at a young age, grew up hating Maritian Tautou under his grandmother’s teachings.
