How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 99: The Mind’s Eye_1

Li Qiao arrived home and took a bath.

Old Mrs. Qin had just finished simmering the sauce, poured it into a jar, prepared some rice and pickles for her, and slipped two one-yuan banknotes into her hand, repeatedly admonishing her not to mistreat herself.

In the past, Li Qiao would certainly have been reluctant to spend, but now that she was making good money from selling her knitted goods, she didn’t need to be frugal, so she accepted them.

Qin Jin drove her back to school.

After getting out of the car, Li Qiao said to him, "Jin, wait here for me for a moment." She ran off carrying her things.

It was Saturday today.

Hu Xiufang arrived at school early.

Li Qiao exchanged a few pleasantries with her, took some materials from her hand to give to Qin Jin, and reluctantly parted, her original plan had been to share a room with him today, but her period had started. "Come see me when you’re free."

"Sure, I might drop by any day and bring you something delicious."

"Mmm!" Li Qiao, as usual, gave him a kiss and smiled as she twisted her body and entered the school.

When she returned to her dormitory again, she took off her clothes and got into her soft, warm bed to sleep; a single breath was full of the scent of sunshine, relaxing both body and mind.

"Hu Xiufang, did you air out this quilt for me?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you," Li Qiao said with gratitude.

Hu Xiufang asked, "Why the courtesy? How did the exams go?"

"Very well, I might be admitted to Beijing University early. Let’s keep it quiet for now."

Hu Xiufang was happy for her, "You’re so awesome!" She looked outside, then complained to Li Qiao about Li Jinhua, "She took my materials to look at and didn’t return them when I said I needed them back. Also, on the day you left, a guy came looking for Li Jinhua. I don’t know what they talked about; I heard your name when I passed by."

Li Qiao’s eyes flickered, "What did he look like? Describe him for me."

Hu Xiufang thought for a moment, "He was about as tall as me, with fairly dark skin, not very good-looking."

Li Qiao asked, "Was his hair sort of exploding everywhere? Small eyes, a bit of a thick lip, and a sneaky look about him?"

"That’s it, sneaky!"

The image of Dong Qiang became clear in Li Qiao’s mind.

Mentioning her name? It was definitely nothing good.

They were chatting.

From the corner of her eye, Li Qiao spotted the figure of Li Jinhua. She cleared her throat to signal her presence.

Out of instinct, Hu Xiufang turned towards the door, then rolled her eyes and turned back to continue with her exercises.

Li Qiao went back to sleep.

As soon as Li Jinhua entered, she said to Li Qiao, "You finally came back. Dad accidentally hurt his leg and asked me to tell you to come home and see him."

Li Qiao replied, "He’s not my dad." Her biological father would never do what he had done.

Li Jinhua’s face darkened, "Look at how pretentious you are. Isn’t it all for your own good? If you don’t go home, I’ll have to report this to the teacher. If word of the top student’s disobedience to her parents spreads, everyone’s spittle could drown you."

Li Qiao was indifferent, "Go ahead and tell, let whoever wants to talk, talk. If anyone dares to spit on me, my man won’t indulge them." She had never really been their daughter, the past respect was all for using the original owner’s body.

Ever since Li Shengcai disregarded their father-daughter relationship and allowed Dong Lamei to bring people to rob her, the bond of kinship between them was severed.

Even if he died in the future, she wouldn’t mourn or wear mourning clothes for him.

Li Jinhua threw down her luggage and left in a huff.

About half an hour later, Li Jinhua came over to Li Qiao’s bed, looked down at her with a challenging gaze, and said, "Mr. Zhou is calling for you."

Li Jinhua waited for a while for an answer and then repeated.

"Li Qiao!"

Li Qiao was tired from the car ride and was sleeping fitfully. Annoyed, she said, "Stop bothering me! Or don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Hu Xiufang commented, "How can you, as her sister, not think about what’s best for her? If she doesn’t want to go home, why can’t you persuade her in private? Why make it a matter for the teacher and make it hard for her to face others in the future?"

Li Jinhua scoffed, "She deserves it! What’s it to you?"

Hu Xiufang was speechless.

Li Jinhua couldn’t sit still for five minutes. Sure that Li Qiao was out cold, she got up and left.

You want to sleep, huh?

I’ll make sure you get plenty!

...

As the dormitory became more crowded and noisier, Hu Xiufang found it hard to concentrate and left with her books for the classroom.

Li Qiao woke up to find it pitch-dark; she was alone in the room.

She guessed that everyone had gone to evening self-study, turned over planning to go back to sleep, but then she heard the dormitory door creaking, immediately followed by a sliver of light coming in.

She had adapted to the darkness, and looking up with the help of the not-so-bright light, she instantly recognized Li Jinhua.

She heard her say, "Li Qiao is on the top bunk in the farthest corner to the east."

"Got it."

A short figure barged in.

Li Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, and her head buzzed loudly.

Dong Qiang?

Li Jinhua actually brought Dong Qiang into the girls’ dormitory?

How did he get in?

Li Jinhua even told him where she was, what was she trying to do? Ruin her?

Vile woman!

Seizing the moment when the other party closed the door, Li Qiao quietly grabbed the net bag at the head of her bed to prepare for defense.

"Gorgeous, I’m here," Dong Qiang said with a sleazy, lecherous chuckle as he drew near in the darkness.

Li Qiao felt the hairs on her back stand on end, but fortunately, she had woken up in time, otherwise she would’ve definitely been at a disadvantage.

She focused her mind, waiting for the person to reach her upper bunk before swinging the net bag at him with all her might.

Dong Qiang, caught off guard, grunted as he fell onto the bed.

Li Qiao quickly grabbed a pillow and pressed it down on his head.

Dong Qiang struggled wildly, gasping for breath out of instinct.

Li Qiao used her knee to pin his stomach firmly, only letting go of the pillow when his strength waned and his body started to convulse.

From her trip to Beijing with Qin Jin, she had learned how to knock someone out briefly. Clenching her fist, she repeatedly struck at his head and eyes.

Dong Qiang grunted but made no sound.

Li Jinhua listened to the commotion inside the room, feeling secretly delighted. Had it worked? She planned to call others to catch them in the act soon.

She was sure Li Qiao’s reputation would be ruined.

Would Qin Jin still want her then?

After knocking Dong Qiang out, Li Qiao used all her wits to move him onto Li Jinhua’s bed. Then she returned to her own bunk to put on her jacket and straightened her bed.

"Cousin..."

Li Qiao pinched her throat to suppress her voice, making it sound as deep and rough as possible: "Yes, I’m here."

"How is Li Qiao doing?"

"I don’t know if I choked him too hard just now, but he’s not moving at all. Come in and take a look, I’m not sure what to do," Li Qiao said through the door to Li Jinhua, reaching to undo the latch.

Flushed with joy, Li Jinhua didn’t even question why Dong Qiang’s voice sounded different or why he was speaking to her through the door, and she pushed the door open and entered the room immediately.

Li Qiao first slapped Li Jinhua twice across the face, then moved behind her and choked her neck: "This is for trying to harm me! This is for trying to harm me! You dare to resort to dirty tricks even though you know I’m no pushover."

She and the original host were of the same age, coming from a family with superior conditions, and were outstanding students from a young age, admitted to university ahead of the usual schedule.

She had devoted herself solely to studying, never thinking about anything else.

To describe her as a blank slate would not be an exaggeration.

These hateful people forced her to develop hundreds of wits, as their constant schemes left her with no choice but to become ruthless.

Li Qiao thoroughly beat the other party, then tied her up and gagged her, making sure that Li Jinhua would be able to struggle free. She dashed out, running towards the main entrance where she collided with the dorm supervisor.

"Li Qiao, why aren’t you at the study session? What are you running for? Who are you looking for?"

Li Qiao: "Me, our dormitory, oh..." Li Qiao had originally planned to go to the classroom to publicize, but at that moment, she hatched a plan, deliberately being coy, waiting for the dorm supervisor to ask, "What happened to the dormitory?" Then she stomped her foot and replied, "There’s a man, oh no!" She covered her face, feigning shyness, and rushed off in urgency.

When the dorm supervisor heard about a man,

It was serious.

She hurried to Li Qiao’s dormitory.

She reached out to turn on the light.

Li Jinhua’s cheeks were swollen red, her clothing buttons were missing, and one hand was tied to the bed rail.

Before she could ask,

A figure sat up from the top bunk.

She stepped back in shock, quickly dragged Li Jinhua out of the room, and locked the door.

"You, you, Li Jinhua, were you assaulted by a rogue? Oh my god, what to do now!" The dorm supervisor was weak in the knees, her head pounding, wishing she could just pass out. A student had come to harm under her watch.

The school would never forgive her if word spread.
