The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1338 - 1351: My Husband Is a Second-Generation Rich Kid (12)
The thought had just begun to form in Xu Jiaojiao’s mind, but it quickly sank again.
Even if it was due to her interference... she felt no guilt at all toward Zhao Li, someone she had lived with for quite a long time in her previous life.
At most, she just thought Zhao Li was useless.
She cursed Zhao Li as a fool several times in her heart.
If it weren’t for the collapse of the Zhao Group directly, she wouldn’t be suffering so much now.
Finding another fool like Zhao Li who is easily deceived isn’t an easy task.
Those rich young masters, which one of them isn’t smart like a monkey, with brains like a sieve? She exhausted countless amounts of energy, yet in their hearts, she was just someone barely worthy of playing with, let alone considering a formal role.
Thinking about this made Xu Jiaojiao even more resentful for Zhao Li ruining her gold-digging scheme.
She held up her handbag and angrily beat Zhao Li a few more times.
Zhao Li was already upset and now being beaten by a woman.
The commotion quickly attracted a group of onlookers, and Zhao Li’s face turned as red as a monkey’s bottom.
Doesn’t he care about his dignity?
The physical difference between men and women was quite large, and when Zhao Li got serious, he tightly grabbed Xu Jiaojiao’s wrist and dragged her to his car.
Xu Jiaojiao screamed and shouted, "Help...!"
Zhao Li’s ferocious and sinister appearance really frightened her, and retroactively she realized that when Zhao Li laid hands on her, as a delicate woman, she had no ability to resist.
"Don’t meddle, this woman cheated on me with another man, I need to sort this out with her."
Upon hearing about this romantic scandal, those initially eager to help stopped in their tracks.
"He’s lying, I don’t even know him..."
Zhao Li retaliated with another slap, and his fierce demeanor made the scratches on his face appear all the more horrifying.
Zhao Li used not to be so concerned about face; maybe having lost the security of money to rely on, he became more sensitive to others’ gazes and scrutiny.
Whether it was that adulterer’s meaningful eyes or the surrounding crowd’s sympathetic and curious looks, it was all like a prickly thorn, rising up a sense of inferiority and unease from deep within.
This emotion was novel and extremely abhorrent.
In the thirty-plus years of being a young Master Zhao, he had never experienced this. Even when acting as a poor man, he always felt at ease and composed.
Despite wearing cheap clothes and shoes, he had the courage to frequent high-end luxurious venues, ignoring the surprised and disdainful looks from those around him.
It was all because he knew he wasn’t truly poor.
But now.... With the Zhao Group gone, his identity as a young Master Zhao was lost too, just thinking about the scrutinizing looks made it unbearable.
A indescribable feeling swept over him, making Zhao Li even more rough in his actions towards Xu Jiaojiao.
He had only one thought in his mind: If it weren’t for Xu Jiaojiao, he wouldn’t need to endure any of this.
Moreover, Xu Jiaojiao was likely starting to feel a bit of regret.
She shouldn’t have been so eager to make the matter so ugly; who knew Fool Zhao would be so terrifying when he went crazy.
But then again, she couldn’t be blamed; seeing such a drastically different development trajectory from her past life, saying she wasn’t panicking would be a lie.
Fortunately, someone in the crowd couldn’t bear it and secretly called the police.
The police station was right next to the neighborhood, and they arrived quickly.
Before Zhao Li could take her away, the police officers brought both of them to the station.
Seeing the police around in their uniforms gave Xu Jiaojiao a tremendous sense of safety, and she fiercely clawed at Zhao Li’s face.
"Hey, hey, behave yourselves...." an old officer shouted.
Zhao Li, with new marks added to his face, seemed furious but could only swallow this loss under the old officer’s stern gaze.
"Fool Zhao, you aren’t capable of anything except hitting women...." Xu Jiaojiao, with nothing to fear, spat venomous words designed to provoke Zhao Li.
Indeed, having lived together for half a lifetime, Xu Jiaojiao’s words felt like knives, stabbing right at Zhao Li’s weaknesses.
"Did you really think I liked you as a person?"
"You should take a look at yourself in a puddle. What talents do you have that could possibly attract someone? Of course, other than your identity as young Master Zhao."
"Playing games of sincerity; it was only because of your glittering identity that I was interested in coaxing a fool to play with, otherwise...."
Xu Jiaojiao’s contemptuous look made Zhao Li almost go mad several times, but the police suppressed him.
The old officer glared warningly at Xu Jiaojiao: "You also keep quiet."
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips dismissively, still occasionally provoking Zhao Li.
"You’re quite handsome, but pity you’re a fool. At least your ex-wife truly wanted to live with you in genuine poverty.... What a pity, you lost the only sincere person."
"Now that you’re broke, who’s willing to humor you...."
Zhao Li was left dumbfounded by Xu Jiaojiao’s words, biting his teeth in a daze: "Don’t forget, we signed an agreement."
"Hahaha...." Xu Jiaojiao laughed exaggeratedly, covering her mouth, her body shaking to the point of quivering.
"Calling you Fool Zhao is certainly not wrong. Don’t you know... that kind of agreement has no legal binding?"
"Just a game, and you really took it seriously.... over thirty years old, and still so naive."
"But if you weren’t naive, I wouldn’t have fooled you...." Xu Jiaojiao was quite aware of herself.
Zhao Li’s eyes were blazing, like an Evil Ghost lunging forward: "I’ll kill you...."
"Oh, I’m so scared... Officer, you heard him...."
This pair was giving the old officers quite a headache, and one shouted: "Both of you, keep quiet."
For such cases, they could only educate verbally before releasing them.
As soon as she walked out of the police station’s door, Xu Jiaojiao’s confidence deflated like a punctured balloon.
She quickly slipped away while no one was watching.
By the time Zhao Li was ready to confront her, Xu Jiaojiao was long gone.
He was left with a bellyful of anger, unable to swallow or spit it out, causing trouble for himself.
"Ahhh...." Damn it.
Back in the day, who dared to treat him this way, but now it was just a matter of "when the tiger falls, it gets bullied by dogs."
After this incident, Zhao Li hoped more than anyone that his father could stand back up again.
