The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 158 - 157: Tears of Regret

Seeing that her attitude was sincere enough, Chen Beiguo finally turned to Gu Jiaojiao.

But Gu Jiaojiao looked at Sweet Girl.

Sweet Girl was a little nervous. This was the first time anyone had ever stood up for her.

But she didn’t dare to speak.

Gu Jiaojiao crouched down to look at Sweet Girl and encouraged her, "Sweet Girl, they’re the ones who hurt you today. It’s their fault. You have the right to make them apologize, and even to demand compensation. All of that is perfectly reasonable."

"Don’t be afraid. Be brave. As long as you’re brave, they won’t dare to bully you again."

Looking at Gu Jiaojiao’s gentle face, Sweet Girl felt a surge of courage.

She looked at the boys who had bullied her, bravely meeting their eyes for the first time.

Only then did she realize that these people were just like her.

They were just weaklings who cried when they got hit.

She declared loudly, "I want them to apologize to me."

The team leader nodded and looked at the boys.

This time, without the team leader even having to speak, their families pushed them forward to apologize to Sweet Girl.

With their backsides still hurting, the boys didn’t dare resist. They immediately and obediently went forward to apologize to Sweet Girl.

At first, Sweet Girl was still a little scared, but as she listened to their apologies, she began to feel that the people who bullied her weren’t so terrifying after all.

The last one was Wang Daniu. He stubbornly refused, and since Chen Yan was unwilling as well, she didn’t say a word.

It was only after the team leader reprimanded them a few more times that Wang Daniu finally went up to apologize.

However, his vicious glare made it clear he wasn’t sincere, but Gu Jiaojiao didn’t mind.

Once he’d said the words, she let him go without giving him any trouble.

Wang Daniu, however, felt he had lost face. After apologizing, he shoved Chen Yan aside and ran off.

Chen Yan started to chase after him, but Gu Jiaojiao stopped her.

"The apology is done. Now let’s talk about compensation."

Chen Yan’s temper flared. "My son already apologized! You still want compensation? There’s nothing wrong with her! She’s just a good-for-nothing girl, what does she need compensation for?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Either we file a police report or you compensate her. Keep running your mouth and I’ll have your son sent to jail."

Chen Yan: ...

She was considered arrogant in the Qingshan Team, but Gu Jiaojiao was even more brazen.

And yet, she didn’t dare to disobey.

"Fifty cents, tops."

"Two yuan. Disagree, and your son goes to jail."

Chen Yan: ...

’Couldn’t she stop saying such cursed things about sending her son to jail every time she opened her mouth?’

She felt two yuan was too much and wanted to haggle, but Gu Jiaojiao had no time for that. In the end, she could only grudgingly hand over the two yuan.

She looked physically pained handing over the money.

This was two yuan, after all—enough to buy two and a half pounds of pork.

Not far away, Wu Cuizhi watched as Chen Yan handed over the money, and the corner of her eye twitched.

’Why does this scene look so familiar?’

After paying, Chen Yan shot Sweet Girl a vicious glare, frightening the little girl into hiding behind Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao patted Sweet Girl’s back and fiddled with her sharp knife.

Chen Yan averted her gaze and scurried away in disgrace.

The other parents each gave ten eggs as compensation and were allowed to leave.

Wu Cuizhi wanted to leave too, but somehow she stepped on a loose stone. Her heavy body hit the ground hard, and her arm broke.

Wu Cuizhi: ...

’It hurts!’

’Why can’t I ever learn my lesson? I know full well that getting near Gu Jiaojiao brings bad luck, yet I still came to watch the drama. Great. Now my arm is broken.’

Wu Cuizhi shed tears of regret.

The others who saw this were stunned, but they didn’t overthink it, simply concluding that Wu Cuizhi was unlucky.

They went forward, helped her up, and half-carried her away.

But the angriest person there wasn’t Wu Cuizhi; it was Xu Wenwan.

’She’d spent thirty points, and this is what she got to see?’

’She didn’t even lose a hair!’

’Useless system! It scammed me out of my points!!!’

Xu Wenwan couldn’t let this go. Was this system useful or not? It kept messing up, one thing after another. She needed to have a serious talk with it.
