Sitting in Lu Zishuâs car for this moment, she was really exhausted, her body couldnât take it anymore. Plus, the person she wanted to meet wasnât there, so she said to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, Iâm heading back first. Be careful when youâre racing later. Call me when you get home, let me know youâre safe."
"Okay." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, and, together with Yu Rou, helped her over to the Xin Family driver. After watching her get into the car, she saw Lu Zishu behind her, looking awkward and hesitant, and immediately snapped, "Lu Zishu, youâre really something!"
Having given Xin Miao such a terrible experience, Lu Zishu was already quite upset, and being jabbed by Ruan Jiaojiao like that, along with his growing feelings for her because of Lu Xian, he couldnât hold back and retorted, "Not as capable as you! Look at you, youâve got my brother all infatuated!"
Ruan Jiaojiaoâs face instantly turned pale, almost about to collapse.
"Lu Zishu, whatâs wrong with you?" Yu Rou, standing beside Ruan Jiaojiao, immediately pulled her behind herself, shouting angrily at Lu Zishu.
Because of the distance, others only saw Yu Rou pull Ruan Jiaojiao behind her and shout at Lu Zishu but didnât know what happened. However, Duan Xi heard the words clearly, and almost as soon as Lu Zishu finished speaking, he rushed over to him, kicked him sharply in the chest, knocking him to the ground, and then pinned him down, giving him a severe beating.
From the first punch, Lu Zishuâs face was already covered in blood, but Duan Xi didnât stop, landing punch after punch, as if he wanted to kill him.
Yu Rou, being the closest and seeing everything most clearly, was so scared she screamed loudly.
The others were awakened by her screams and rushed over, trying to pull the two apart, but when Duan Xi was fierce, no one could restrain him.
No one had ever seen this brutal side of him, even though he had been tough since childhood, he had never attacked anyone before. It was the first time they saw him hitting someone, especially a childhood friend.
Ruan Jiaojiao also reacted and quickly went up to hug Duan Xiâs waist, shouting loudly, "Brother Xi, stop hitting him, stop hitting him."
Lying on the ground, Lu Zishu was beaten till his nose was bleeding profusely, his face unrecognizable.
Ruan Jiaojiaoâs heart ached terribly. She buried her head against Duan Xiâs back, her voice trembling, "Brother Xi, letâs go back, letâs not stay here anymore, forget the race, letâs go back, please, I want to go back."
If those words had been said by someone insignificant, Ruan Jiaojiao wouldnât have cared, she could have retorted without hesitation. Her knack for confrontation was something she was taught by the Ruanlin family, she had never been afraid of anyone.
But those words were said by Lu Zishu, a childhood friend she treated almost like an older brother. The words felt like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into her, not only causing her pain and heartache but also stripping away the last layer of dignity from a fifteen-year-old girl.
Feeling the wetness on his back, Duan Xiâs reason gradually returned. He turned around, pulling Ruan Jiaojiao into his arms and swept a cold gaze at Lu Xian, his voice icy, "If it happens again, Iâll make sure he dies!"
