Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 169: Jiang Xue Again
Cheng Li was looked at in this way, and her instinct made her feel guilty. She avoided Jiang Xue’s gaze.
She never would have thought that Jiang Xue actually knew there was someone behind her. But she had never mentioned it; not even her mother knew about it. So how did Jiang Xue find out?
The more Cheng Li thought about it, the more alarmed and fearful she became. Looking at Jiang Xue, it was as if she was looking at a monster. As a result, she was greatly frightened and hurriedly retreated, intending to leave this place of trouble.
However, she was too flustered, so when she stepped back, she accidentally tripped over something and fell to the ground again.
This fall was much harder than the hits Jiang Xue had given earlier. Her body hurt, and the skin on her hands and feet was broken.
However, Cheng Li couldn’t care about the pain on her body or the injuries on her hands and feet. After getting up from the ground, she quickly ran away as if a fierce ghost was chasing her.
Watching Cheng Li run off, Jiang Xue finally withdrew her gaze, then looked at the onlookers and said, "Thank you, ladies, for speaking out for justice. I still need to go to the hospital to care for my father, so I’ll be leaving first."
Hearing Jiang Xue’s words, the crowd made way for her, allowing her to leave.
Jiang Xue went straight to the hospital and took over from Mrs. Jiang, allowing her to go home and rest. This time, Mrs. Jiang didn’t say much and obediently went home to rest.
Perhaps it was because of Jiang Xue, but Father Jiang’s condition improved significantly. The doctor said that if there were no major issues after observation, he could be discharged the next day.
Hearing that he could be discharged, Father Jiang was naturally happy. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, no one would want to stay in the hospital.
Jiang Xue was also pleased. Once her father rested at home for a few days, he could then go to the city.
While Jiang Xue was relieved, Cheng Li, on the other hand, couldn’t find joy. Originally, she planned to go to the city to find that person today, but her plans fell through when she encountered Jiang Xue as soon as she arrived in town, got hit again, and injured her hands and feet.
As a result, she couldn’t go to town and had to reluctantly return home. When she got home, Mrs. Cheng was surprised to see her daughter back so soon and asked, "Didn’t you say you were going to the city? Why are you back?"
On closer inspection, she noticed the woman’s face looked wrong, with swelling, and was shocked, asking, "Xiao Li, what happened? Who hit you?"
"Who else could it be but that bitch Jiang Xue?" Cheng Li said bitterly, wishing she could tear Jiang Xue to pieces. But thinking of how Jiang Xue knew there was someone behind her made her scared again.
She didn’t know how Jiang Xue found out, or if Jiang Xue was just bluffing. At this moment, she regretted not carefully observing the expression on Jiang Xue’s face.
Otherwise, she would’ve known whether Jiang Xue genuinely knew or was just bluffing.
"What? It’s Jiang Xue again?" Mrs. Cheng’s face changed, thinking about how Jiang Xue had bullied her and her daughter time and time again, and she was extremely angry.
Cheng Li didn’t speak and didn’t respond to Mrs. Cheng’s words, angrily returning to her room.
Back in her room, she then had the time to carefully examine her injuries. Fortunately, they weren’t too serious; just some skinned patches that wouldn’t leave scars.
However, she still applied some medicine to herself.
After applying the medicine, Cheng Li didn’t go out but lay down on the bed. It was apparent that Jiang Xue now had no mercy for her, so it seemed she had to be ruthless too.
If not, constantly being bullied and beaten like this by Jiang Xue would be suffocating, not to mention the anger in her heart that she couldn’t let out.
