《Reincarnation: Devoted Romance》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In May, the capital welcomed its first storm. A young girl knelt on the ground in a sorry state. Her entire body was wet from the rain. Her face was pale and she was on the verge of collapsing. A man in his fifties stood in front of her, his eyes filled with desolation and disappointment. ¡°Qin Zhen, the doctor said that Guinian might be crippled! Even if you don¡¯t like him, you can¡¯t humiliate him like this! Is this how the Qin family taught you? I thought you were a little stubborn, but you really disappointed me¡­ Kneel here and reflect on yourself! You¡¯re only allowed to get up once you learn your lesson!¡± ¡°Dad, she¡¯s still young. We¡¯ll teach her slowly. She¡¯ll understand eventually. I¡¯ll explain to the He family¡ª¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re the one who spoils her. Do you think she¡¯s three years old?¡± She could hear the sound of her father and brother arguing¡­ Qin Zhen struggled to open her heavy eyelids. Through the heavy rain, she could vaguely see two blurry figures. It was just as her brother said. After a person died, they would see the people they missed dearly¡­. She never seemed to understand what he meant back then. She had always been an idiot¡­ Her father and brother had passed away five years ago, and the grass on their graves was almost taller than her. This was the first time Qin Zhen had seen them in her dream. She knew that they hated her. They hated her for destroying the Qin family, so they didn¡¯t even want to visit her dreams. And He Guinian, the man who loved her deeply¡­ The rain was so heavy that it fell like heavy stones. Qin Zhen really wanted to say something to her father and brother, but she had no strength left. Her body collapsed weakly, and the world turned dark again. ¡­ When Qin Zhen woke up, she saw the white ceiling and her mind went blank for a moment. Wasn¡¯t Qin Si and Yu Zhuang burned her to death in the warehouse? Where was she¡­ ¡°Zhenzhen, you¡¯re awake!¡± A man¡¯s surprised voice rang in her ears. Qin Zhen¡¯s entire body trembled when she heard his voice. She turned her head stiffly and was met with a familiar man¡¯s handsome face. Her brother, Qin Youting. He was sentenced to death because he was framed for taking drugs and leaking the entertainment agency¡¯s important secrets. Was she dreaming? Qin Zhen felt all the blood in her body flowing back. She stared at Qin Youting. Her lips trembled, but she could not utter a single word. Tears flowed down her face. Qin Youting was startled when he saw his little sister crying. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡± ¡°Brother¡­¡± Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Zhen grabbed his arm anxiously. Feeling the warm skin underneath her fingertips, her tears welled up in her eyes again. Qin Zhen was sure that this was not a dream. She was reborn back when her father and brother were still around. But what about He Guinian? ¡°Brother, where¡¯s He Guinian?!¡± When she said this name, Qin Zhen felt pain spread from her heart to her entire body. That man who she crippled and lost everything because of her¡­ In the end, was the one who rushed into the fire to save her and died with her. She was an idiot to believe in Yu Zhuang and Qin Si. Back then, she always relied on them whenever something happened at home. It was not until the moment she was killed by them that she realized how wrong she was. ¡°He¡¯s still in the hospital. Zhenzhen, you¡¯ve really gone too far this time. How could you push him down the stairs? You know what¡¯s going on with him. Are you trying to kill him? Even if you don¡¯t want to get engaged to him, you can always talk it out slowly. You can¡¯t just harm him like that.¡± Although Qin Youting doted on his sister, this incident was tip-toeing the line. He couldn¡¯t simply go against his morals and side with his sister. Qin Zhen¡¯s mind was racing quickly. Back then, she was unwilling to get engaged to He Guinian no matter what and pretended to commit suicide by jumping off a building. He Guinian came to save her, but she pushed him down. Since then, He Guinian had injured his legs and could no longer stand. Even if He Guinian didn¡¯t blame her, his family did. How could his parents let that go? They cared about their son and had been enduring all his misfortune¡­ ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll go see him!¡± She wanted to see He Guinian and apologize to him, but Qin Youting didn¡¯t think it would be a wise idea. His sister hated He Guinian the most. Whenever they meet, she would only curse at him. Now, she was making a fuss about wanting to see him¡­ ¡°You should take good care of yourself and not mess around,¡± ¡°Brother, I¨C¡± ¡°If you continue to cause trouble, I won¡¯t be able to protect you! This is not a small matter. You should be sensible!¡± Qin Youting¡¯s expression turned cold. Qin Youting was unwilling to take her to the hospital, so Qin Zhen decided to go by herself. She did not even have time to change her clothes. She put on a coat and sneaked to the hospital when the servants were not paying attention.

Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The rain was still pouring down, affecting everyone¡¯s mood. After Qin Zhen got out of the car, she went straight to He Guinian¡¯s ward. As she got closer to his room, her footsteps became heavier and heavier. She didn¡¯t dare to take another step forward. She did not have the courage¡­ to see him¡­ Outside He Guinian¡¯s ward stood a row of bodyguards. The two in the middle were He Guinian¡¯s confidants, He Yi and He Er, the twin bodyguards. As Qin Zhen slowly walked over, He Yi and He Er noticed her. ¡°That b*tch actually has the face to come?¡± He Er cursed in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t bother with her,¡± He Yi, who had always been good-tempered, only frowned. He could not hide the disgust in his eyes toward Qin Zhen. How much had their Young Master suffered because of her? He had endured it, but now? The doctor said that the young master¡¯s leg might not be cured! He would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime! They really did not know what the Young Master liked about her. She was stupid, unruly, and vicious. Why didn¡¯t such a woman die? Since she despised the Young Master¡¯s illness, why did she agree to the engagement? Moreover, the Young Master would rather hurt himself than hurt a single strand of her hair. But how did that woman repay his kindness? She avoided him like a plague and hurt the Young Master again and again¡­ Qin Zhen arrived in front of them. Seeing that they were not talking to her, she could start first, ¡°Is He Guinian inside?¡± He Er didn¡¯t even deign her with another glance and turned his head away, pretending that he didn¡¯t see anyone. He Yi internally sighed. Why was he the older brother? Why does he have to be the mature one? He cared about his Young Master but still nodded with a tense face. ¡°I want to see him¡­¡± Qin Zhen knew that she had done too many wrong things before, so she didn¡¯t even have the confidence to speak. ¡°Miss Qin, I¡¯ll be straightforward. The Young Master¡¯s condition is very bad at the moment. If Miss Qin is still human, please don¡¯t go in and provoke him.¡± Qin Zhen wasn¡¯t trying to provoke him. She was trying to persuade him! He Guinian¡¯s leg could have been cured at first, but he had avoided the treatment for a long time and even refused, which was why he became permanently disabled. However, she now knew that no matter how much she said, they would not let her in. She might as well shout at the top of her lungs. ¡°He Guinian!¡± She shouted again and again until her voice was hoarse. But the door of the ward was still closed. Qin Zhen had just woken up after being drenched in the rain. She had not recovered from her cold yet. After shouting for more than ten minutes, her face flushed red and she kept coughing. ¡°Miss Qin, you should return home.¡± He Yi didn¡¯t feel a single drop of sympathy for her. He felt sorry for the Young Master. Based on his understanding of the young master, he probably felt terrible. At that time, he would have to take medicine to control it. Qin Zhen knew that it was useless to continue shouting. She looked at the tightly shut ward unwillingly and turned to leave. In the ward, He Guinian wearing a hospital gown sat on the bed. His gaze was lowered and his hands were placed on his knees. His entire body was filled with a gloomy aura. Qin Zhen¡¯s voice outside gradually faded away. He knew that she had left. He wanted to see her, but he did not dare to. He knew his limits. If he died here, Qin Zhen probably wouldn¡¯t even bother to look at him. She would probably even be glad that this lunatic was finally not pestering her anymore¡­ She must have come to break off the engagement. He Guinian smiled bitterly, but at this moment, he heard a rustling sound coming from outside the window, accompanied by a young girl¡¯s weak yelp. It sounded like Qin Zhen¡¯s voice. He Guinian felt that he must have heard wrongly, but he was still worried. He wanted to go and take a look. However, when he straightened his body, he realized that he could not move. ¡°He Yi,¡± He called out and the twins hurriedly entered. ¡°Go and look out the window.¡± He Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn¡¯t say anything and did as requested. Then, his eyes met with the girl¡­ Who was climbing into the hospital¡¯s window. ¡°Miss Qin?¡± Qin Zhen was also shocked when He Yi lifted her down from the windowsill. He Guinian was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. His expression was ugly. ¡°In order to break off the engagement with me, you don¡¯t even care about your life?¡± Anger, worry, disappointment, and all kinds of emotions piled up together in him, making his voice tremble. ¡°No, no! That¡¯s not why I¡¯m here¨C¡± Qin Zhen wanted to explain. He Guinian didn¡¯t want to hear it, ¡°He Yi, send Miss Qin home.¡± Before the He twins could drag her away, Qin Zhen threw herself in front of He Guinian, ¡°He Guinian! I¡¯m here to see you! I know I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have pushed you down the stairs. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± The more she spoke, the guiltier she felt and the softer her voice became. ¡°Did you come here just to apologize?¡± He Guinian¡¯s expression lost its frown. She came over to persuade him to heal his legs as soon as possible! ¡°There is one more thing¡­¡± As expected. Or was it because she wanted to break off the engagement? Guinian¡¯s heart had completely turned cold. The veins on his hands under the blanket bulged because he was clenching them tightly.

Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The temperature in the ward seemed to drop rapidly. Qin Zhen could feel the anger radiating from him. She walked in front of him and squatted down. Throughout the whole process, He Yi and He Er kept their eyes on her. If she dared to do anything to hurt He Guinian, they would throw this pest out, even if the Young Master protested. He Guinian held his breath. Qin Zhen looked at him, at the man who had protected her even before she died. He was once the most eye-catching man in the capital. Even if he was ill, it did not hide his excellence. However, she caused him to lose everything, almost went to jail, and was unable to stand up for the rest of his life. What did she have that was worthy of his liking? Tears blurred her vision, and Qin Zhen¡¯s voice was choked with sobs, ¡°Brother Guinian¡­¡± ¡°What did you call me?¡± He Guinian¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Brother Guinian¡­¡± He Guinian was suddenly pulled into a memory that was at the far back of his mind. When he was young, Qin Zhen used to follow him around and called him Brother Guinian in her sweet, gentle voice. However, as she grew up, she hated him more and more. She always spoke ill of him and wanted to throw up just from seeing him. ¡°Qin Zhen, no matter what you say, I won¡¯t break off the engagement! The marriage between the two families is not a child¡¯s play.¡± His beating heart gradually calmed down. He Guinian¡¯s voice was so desolate. He knew Qin Zhen too well. She was acting like this just to break off the engagement. However, even if he died, he would still drag her along. It didn¡¯t matter even if she didn¡¯t like him. After all, he still had an engagement and the identity of her fianc¨¦. ¡°I won¡¯t break off the engagement! Brother Guinian, I want to be your bride for the rest of my life. I will never leave you again, and you are not allowed to leave me either.¡± Behind him, He Yi and He Er frowned. Was there something wrong with the Qin family¡¯s daughter? Was she up to something again? ¡°Brother Guinian, I know Auntie He has found a doctor for you. Can you go abroad to treat your legs? When your leg is cured, we¡¯ll get engaged and never be separated again,¡± Qin Zhen said in a stiff voice. He Guinian looked at her firmly, ¡°You want me to leave?¡± Qin Zhen nodded frantically. Of course she does. She wanted to cry when she thought of the years He Guinian spent in a wheelchair. However, her enthusiasm was interpreted differently by the people in the room. And as expected, He Guinian¡¯s expression changed. His dark eyes stared at Qin Zhen, and there was an unnoticeable heartache in his tone, ¡°Qin Zhen, I¡¯m not going. Don¡¯t even think about breaking off the engagement. Even if I die, you¡¯ll still be my wife¡­¡± However, as He Guinian finished speaking, he felt something warm pressed against his face, which caused his body to tremble violently. She¡­ Did she kiss him? Qin Zhen knew that he had misunderstood. She also knew that she had done too many wrong things in the past for him to believe her words now, so she could only do something practical. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. I won¡¯t leave you again. Be good and go abroad to treat your legs. I¡¯ll wait for you to come back and marry me. If you still don¡¯t believe me, I can swear that if I lie, I¡ª¡± He Guinian placed his index finger on her lips, not letting her say anything. He didn¡¯t want her to swear on herself. ¡°Qin Zhen, no matter if it¡¯s the truth or a lie, once you say it, you can¡¯t take it back.¡± And he would never break off the engagement anyway. She said that she would wait for him to come back and marry her, so she couldn¡¯t go back on her word. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t go back on my word! Then, do you agree, Brother Gunian?¡± She looked so eager that He Guinian couldn¡¯t stop staring at her for a while before saying hoarsely, ¡°¡­ Let me think about it,¡± She was probably lying to him again, he tried rationalizing himself. She had lied to him before, who¡¯s to say she would stop lying in the future? ¡­ When Qin Zhen was sent back to the Qin family, she had just gotten out of the car when He Er stepped on the accelerator and drove away. She almost fell. However, she did not say anything. If the roles were reversed, her brother and father would probably not let He Guinian get close to her too. After all, what she had done was not something that could be settled with just an apology. He Guinian didn¡¯t say that he would go abroad. He only said that he would consider it and then let He Er send her back. But even so, she was already very happy. When Qin Zhen entered her house, the old servant, Mary, kept signaling her with her eyes. She could feel the tense pressure as soon as she walked in through the doors. Mr. Qin sat on the sofa with a face full of anger. Qin Youting¡¯s expression was not that different either. Seeing their furious expressions, Qin Zhen felt a little guilty. However, when she saw Qin Si sitting beside them, her body trembled violently, and hatred surged into her like a tide. She treated Qin Si as her sister and best friend. She shared everything with her. If the Qin family had her, they also had Qin Si. However, she could not see her the same way after Qin Si colluded with Yu Zhuang to destroy her family and eventually burned her alive.

Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Zhenzhen, you¡¯re finally back. Where did you go?¡± Qin Si had been paying attention to the door all this while. When she saw her return, she hurriedly went up to her. ¡°Did you go to look for Yu Zhuang again? You¡­ Haa¡­¡± She sighed. Mr. Qin, who had been suppressing his anger, exploded when he heard Yu Zhuang¡¯s name. ¡°Did you go to see that boy again? Haven¡¯t you caused enough trouble for your fianc¨¦? Is your brain kicked by a donkey? Did it!?¡± Mr. Qin was so angry that his body was trembling. Because of Mother Qin¡¯s early death, he had to raise Qin Zhen by himself. But now, he regretted it. He shouldn¡¯t have doted on the girl more back then. It was better than having a stupid daughter now. Every day, he was met with disappointment after disappointment¡­ Qin Zhen resisted the urge to cry and took a deep breath. Her cold gaze landed on Qin Si. ¡°I just came back and you immediately assume I went to see Yu Zhuang? Why? Are you following me?¡± Qin Si did not expect Qin Zhen to question her, but still replied, ¡°Zhenzhen, didn¡¯t you say that you like Yu Zhuang and want to meet him in secret? You said you wanted¨C¡± With a ¡°pa¡± sound, the crisp sound of a slap rang out through the entire room. Qin Si¡¯s words were completely stuck in her throat. She looked at Qin Zhen in disbelief until she felt a burning pain on her cheek. Only then did she dare to believe that Qin Zhen actually had the guts to hit her! ¡°Qin Si, why are you so shameless?¡± Qin Zhen rubbed her numb palm, but her heart was filled with joy. Mr. Qin and Qin Youting were also stunned. After a while, they came back to their senses. Mr. Qin was even more shocked than angry, ¡°Qin Zhen, what are you doing? That¡¯s your cousin! Don¡¯t you have any manners? Is this how I taught you? You disappoint me!¡± ¡°Dad, you¡­ Let¡¯s hear what Zhenzhen has to say first,¡± Qin Youting defended Qin Zhen despite being puzzled by the turn of events. Didn¡¯t his sister always listen to Qin Si? ¡°Dad, do you know why I pushed He Guinian downstairs?¡± Qin Si¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard Qin Zhen suddenly mention He Guinian. Qin Zhen glared at Qin Si, her eyes filled with hatred. ¡°It was my dear cousin who told me personally that as long as He Guinian was injured, the He family would never tolerate me to be their daughter-in-law. The engagement naturally had to be called off.So she gave me an idea to pretend to commit suicide and push He Guinian downstairs.¡± ¡°Uncle, I didn¡¯t say that. How could I ask Zhenzhen to do these things¡­¡± Half of Qin Si¡¯s face was swollen, and her eyes were slightly red as if it had pained her so to be accused of these false claims. Compared to his daughter, who had always been unruly, Mr. Qin trusted his gentle and demure niece more. ¡°Dad, when Qin Si gave me the idea, she told me through texts. You can look through her phone.¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s phone was smashed into pieces when she jumped off the building, so the only proof was on her cousin¡¯s phone. ¡°Qin Si, take out your phone.¡± Mr. Qin said in a low voice. Qin Si slowly took out her phone, but she was secretly ecstatic. Every time she talked to Qin Zhen about something, she would always delete the chat records that were unfavorable to her. Qin Zhen was really stupid in her eyes. That¡¯s right. If Qin Zhen wasn¡¯t stupid, would she easily be led by the nose by her? Why was such an idiot so lucky? Everything in the Qin family was hers! Qin Si opened their chat and scrolled to the end. Nothing was out of the ordinary at first, as it was just normal talk between sisters. However, after that, almost all the conversations they had was about Yu Zhuang. Mr. Qin hated Yu Zhuang to the bone. He was a villain. His daughter¡¯s eyes were covered in sh*t that she could not see it! He was so angry that his head was dizzy. He looked at Qin Zhen with disappointment, ¡°You pushed He Guinian down the stairs, and now you¡¯re slandering others and shirking your responsibility? How could I, Qin Jin, raise a daughter like you? I¡¯m such a failure!¡± Qin Si was silently proud of what she had done, but her voice was slightly choked when she said, ¡°Uncle, Zhenzhen and I might have some kind of misunderstanding. It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t blame her¡­¡± Qin Zhen didn¡¯t say anything. She just turned around and ran to her room. In other people¡¯s eyes, it looked as if her lies were exposed and since she had no way to defend herself, she ran away. Mr. Qin was even more disappointed. His eyes, of a man over fifty, were red with anger. He had always doted on his daughter, but in the end, he raised such a bastard. He felt guilty toward his wife, who had died early. Qin Youting watched his sister¡¯s back as she left. He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed to be. It did not take long for Qin Zhen to come down in a hurry with a laptop in her hands. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll prove to you that I¡¯m not lying,¡± Qin Zhen took Qin Si¡¯s phone expressionlessly and connected it to the computer with a data cable. A trace of contempt and disgust flashed across Qin Si¡¯s eyes. What could a fool do? Qin Zhen¡¯s everything was probably exchanged for her brain. Otherwise, how could she be so brainless?

Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen stretched out her fingers and quickly typed on the keyboard, leaving only afterimages behind. Rows of codes flashed across the computer screen. Mr. Qin and Qin Youting were stunned, and Qin Si suddenly had a bad feeling. She subconsciously held Qin Zhen¡¯s hand that was on the keyboard. ¡°Zhenzhen, stop fooling around. I don¡¯t blame you for pushing all the blame on me. Uncle¡¯s health isn¡¯t good and he can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes were filled with playfulness and mockery, ¡°Are you afraid?¡± ¡°Zhenzhen, what¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± Qin Si¡¯s face turned pale. Why would she be afraid? But today, Qin Zhen seemed to have changed into a different person. It was unsettling. In the past, this idiot had always been so obedient to her¡­ Qin Zhen stared at her for a while. Her gaze made Qin Si¡¯s hair stand on end, but Qin Zhen calmly retracted her gaze. Her fingers were typing rapidly on the keyboard. Mr. Qin and Qin Youting looked at Qin Zhen¡¯s serious expression and were a little excited. Even if it turned out that Qin Zhen was just messing around in the end, happiness still bloomed in their hearts. It turned out that their Zhenzhen still had some skill! She could train in computer science! They have sometimes seen Qin Zhen¡¯s actions as brainless because her family spoiled her without any bottom line. Now that they saw her do something else with her own skill, Qin Jin began to plan for her future. Qin Zhen¡¯s stupidity only ended when it came to relationships. She was still very outstanding in some aspects, but those talents had always been buried beneath her misdeeds. Many chat records slowly appeared on the screen, and there was an increasing trend. Qin Si¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, and the panic in her heart became even stronger. The screen was jumping too fast just now, so no one could see the content. When the chat history on the screen froze, Qin Zhen enlarged some of them. It was Qin Si who sent Qin Zhen the message. Just as Qin Zhen said, the things she did to hurt He Guinian were mostly Qin Si¡¯s ideas. However, it had to be said that Qin Zhen was indeed quite naive. Otherwise, she would not have done whatever others said so readily. After reading all the chat records, Mr. Qin felt a chill down his spine. Qin Si had always been demure and gentle to everybody, but who would¡¯ve thought she could be so terrifying underneath all that? With solid evidence in front of her, Qin Si had no way to deny it. Her eyes turned red as she knelt on the ground. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m sorry. I¡­ I was only worried about Zhenzhen. I know she doesn¡¯t like He Guinian, so I gave her the idea¡­ I know I didn¡¯t do well, but Zhenzhen is my sister. I watched her grow up. I can¡¯t bear to see her marry such a man. Who knows when He Guinian will go crazy and hurt my dear sister? I don¡¯t want to see you or Brother sad¡­ If you want to blame someone, blame me. It¡¯s my fault¡­¡± She was very smart and knew that it was useless to argue now. She avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial. At most, she could pretend to be a good sister who doted on her younger sister. ¡°For my own good?¡± Qin Zhen scoffed mockingly. ¡°Dad, you clearly told me that you didn¡¯t want me to be with Yu Zhuang, but Qin Si always mentioned how good Yu Zhuang is for me. I shouldn¡¯t have given up my love for power, and she even tried to sow discord between me, you, and big brother!¡± All kinds of memories from her previous life surged into her mind, and Qin Zhen cried blood. Her slightly pale fingers tapped on the keyboard, and a large number of chat records appeared again. Other than that, there were also some phone recordings. Most of the conversations were about Yu Zhuang. Every time Qin Zhen lost interest in Yu Zhuang, Qin Si would deliberately mention Yu Zhuang¡¯s recent situation and even deliberately create an opportunity for them to be alone. Other than that, there were also many conversations about the Qin father and son. Qin Si had secretly said a lot of bad things about them. When Qin Zhen had a conflict with her family, she added fuel to the fire, causing the relationship between them to worsen. If it was said that Mr. Qin could still tolerate Qin Si in the beginning, he would not tolerate her now. She wanted to sow discord between him and Qin Zhen! With the chat and call records all exposed, Qin Si knew that it was useless for her to say anything more. She had crossed Mr. Qin¡¯s bottom line. ¡°Qin Si, when you were ten years old, I brought you to my house. You¡¯re twenty now, I¡¯ve raised you for ten years and I¡¯ve never mistreated you. But what you did really scared me. You can leave now.¡± ¡°Uncle, I understand my mistake!¡± Qin Si cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, begging Mr. Qin. ¡°Don¡¯t chase me away. My parents are dead. I only have you. If you don¡¯t want me, I¡¯ll have no one to rely on in this world!¡± After all, this girl was the only bloodline left behind by his eldest brother. Mr. Qin still cared about her, but¡­ At this moment, Qin Youting cut in, ¡°Dad, I have an apartment in Jinxiu. I lived alone for a while when I was working there. Although the place is not big, it¡¯s fully furnished and security measures are guaranteed.¡± Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but cheer silently in her heart.

Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Youting ignored Qin Si¡¯s pained and resentful leer. When he met Qin Zhen¡¯s gaze, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He had never liked Qin Si, but Qin Zhen liked her. Moreover, he was concerned about keeping a good relationship with his father¡¯s side of the family, so he said nothing and accepted Qin Si. However, it was different now. If Qin Si continued to stay, it would only bring trouble to their family. ¡°Qin Si, you can move out then,¡± Mr. Qin said. ¡°Mary, throw her things out! Hurry up!¡± Qin Zhen said impatiently, her entire person becoming lively. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re off the hook? Go back to your room and face the wall!¡± Mr. Qin said unhappily, while Qin Youting watched them with a fond look on his face. Qin Si gritted her teeth. Why was it that no matter what Qin Zhen did, the Qin family could easily forgive her? As for her? She had served them like a servant all these years, but they had thrown her away like trash so easily! All that talk about treating her as his own daughter was bullsh*t. If she didn¡¯t fight for herself, she would have nothing. When she saw that the old woman, Mary, was on her way to her room to pack her things, her face turned ashen. She was so angry that she cried. She covered her face and ran. Mr. Qin frowned. In the end, he was still worried about Qin Si and sent someone out to take care of her. Only Mr. Qin, Qin Youting, and Qin Zhen were left in the room. Qin Zhen took a deep breath and knelt down in front of her dad. Mr. Qin was shocked. ¡°Dad, I was too stupid in the past and trusted others easily. I should pay the price for what I did wrong. I will explain to the He family and marry He Guinian.¡± The images of her family¡¯s tragic deaths in her previous life kept replaying in her mind, causing her to choke up a few times toward the end of her sentence. Mr. Qin was shocked and suspicious but he was more gratified and touched. He patted his daughter gently and said in a trembling voice, ¡°I hope you really learn from your mistakes.¡± Qin Zhen raised her head. Her father¡¯s head was slightly lowered. When she saw the dazzling white hair on his head, she swore in her heart that she would protect her family well in this life! She would never let the nightmare of the past repeat again. Back in her room, Qin Zhen took a hot bath. Looking at herself in the mirror, she gasped. The girl in the mirror had messy yellow hair, and her face was black, red, green, and purple¡­ She thought of how she had kissed He Guinian with such a face and the fact that Guinian hadn¡¯t kicked her out on the spot¡­ He truly loved her. She quickly washed her face clean. She had no choice but to tie a small knot on her head. After removing several layers of makeup, she finally returned to her usual appearance. In the past, she wasn¡¯t confident in her looks because people often only saw her as delicate. Especially when she stood beside Qin Si, who had a curvy front and a curvy back, she looked even more like a plain cabbage. Under Qin Si¡¯s brainwashing, she had been wearing heavy makeup as if she could become beautiful just like that. Now, Qin Zhen only wanted to be herself. When Qin Youting knocked on the door and entered, he saw a girl wearing a pure white cotton nightdress. Her small face was clean, revealing her delicate and clean facial features. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He walked over and handed a new phone to Qin Zhen. ¡°I¡¯ve already reissued your phone card.¡± ¡°Why are you the best, Brother?¡± Qin Zhen was extremely touched. Qin Youting smiled and patted her forehead, ¡°Stop flattering me. It¡¯s getting late. Also, you look very beautiful like this. Really, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t put on makeup.¡± ¡°Hehe¡­ Oh right! Brother, help me fix my hair!¡± Qin Zhen knew that even if she was really ugly, she was still the most beautiful in her big brother¡¯s eyes. Qin Youting was an exceptional makeup designer in the entertainment industry. Many big stars wanted him to plan their image concept and styling. Qin Youting naturally had no problem with the request. ¡­ Qin Zhen was lying on her bed playing with her new phone. Qin Youting promised he would help her change her hair color back to what it used to be tomorrow. In this life, she wanted to become a simple girl. Right now, she wanted to call He Guinian. He Guinian¡¯s number was not in her contact list, but Qin Zhen had already memorized it. It wasn¡¯t that she remembered it on purpose, but He Guinian had called her too many times in her previous life. And her response most of the time, was extremely bad. From time to time, she would put him on the blacklist, but He Guinian never cared. Qin Zhen felt bitter. Her fingers stared at the string of numbers for a long time before she finally made up her mind to call. But just as she was about to go through with her plan, another call came through. Her hand trembled as she pressed the answer button. ¡°Qin Zhen!¡± The male voice on the other end was clear and cold. The blood drained from Qin Zhen¡¯s face as if she had fallen into ice water. She would never forget this voice even if she died. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Yu Zhuang didn¡¯t notice something was amiss when Qin Zhen didn¡¯t reply and continued scolding her, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you mess around as usual, but Sisi is doing this for your own good. How can you hurt her like that? You know that you are her only family, she has been careful to appease your family all these years, yet you still chased her out! What if something happens to her? When did you become so vicious!¡± Qin Zhen gradually calmed down. She was really stupid. Yu Zhuang¡¯s attitude towards Qin Si was obviously different from hers. It was so obvious. Why hadn¡¯t she seen through the lies before? Or rather, she has seen the signs but was quickly brainwashed by Qin Si. However, she did not notice a small red dot flashing in a secret place above her wardrobe. Noticing how he was met with silence, Yu Zhuang thought that she was too scared to speak. His tone became even more arrogant, thinking that Qin Zhen was as easy to control as before, ¡°Hurry up and apologize to Sisi. I¡¯ll forgive you reluctantly and will agree to go on a date with you if you do. Deal?¡± He Guinian listened to Yu Zhuang¡¯s voice through the monitor, and his ashen hand clenched his phone tightly. His body in the wheelchair started to shake violently. ¡®Qin Zhen! Is this what you mean by promise?¡¯ When He Yi and He Er saw their Young Master¡¯s angry expression, their faces turned pale. That idiot had just returned and was already on the phone with that pretty boy. Of course, the Young Master would give up on the idea of going for treatment! The air seemed to freeze. At this moment, the girl¡¯s angry roar came from the receiver. ¡°Don¡¯t f*cking disgust me!¡± It was Qin Zhen¡¯s voice! Back in her bedroom, Qin Zhen was so angry that her hands were shaking after hearing what Yu Zhuang said. The hatred and fear of being burned alive in her previous life ruled over whatever shock she had on the man. ¡°What did you say? How dare you raise your tone against me!¡± Yu Zhuang said, couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Yu Zhuang, I¡¯ve only been nice to you for a few days, and you¡¯ve already forgotten who you are. You¡¯re just a poor kid from a mountain valley. If I didn¡¯t sponsor you and spend money to find connections to help you get into school, do you really think you can get into university on your own? With your sh*ty result, is any school in their right mind will want you? Even the security guard at the door is way smarter than you!¡± ¡°Qin Zhen, you¡¯re crazy!¡± Yu Zhuang¡¯s ego had been completely destroyed, and his most unbearable secret had been exposed. He roared, ¡°Is this one of your tricks? You¡¯re really willing to do anything to be my girlfriend, huh?¡± Qin Zhen could only sneer, ¡°You¡¯re really the most shameless person I¡¯ve ever met. You eat my food, drink my water, use me, and still act all high and mighty. However, you still look pretty good with that aloof look of yours. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have given you some money to support you. After all, I don¡¯t lack a bit of money. But you actually think I want to be your girlfriend? Why don¡¯t you look at yourself in the mirror? You don¡¯t even compare to my fianc¨¦¡¯s finger!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to take back your apartment. From now on, I won¡¯t give you a single cent. I have plenty of money. If I buy a bone for a dog, it will still wag its tail at me. Unlike you, heh!¡± After saying that, Qin Zhen hung up the phone. There were some things that she couldn¡¯t deny. After all, she had spent a lot on Yu Zhuang¡¯s house. But in the future, she wouldn¡¯t spend a single cent on him. With her family¡¯s tragic death in mind, she scolded him first and would collect the interest later. With that, she hung up the phone. Yu Zhuang was so angry that he almost fainted. On the other end of the listening device, He Guinian was still sitting in his wheelchair. His mind was filled with Qin Zhen¡¯s anger toward Yu Zhuang. The more he listened, the bigger his smile. He Yi didn¡¯t even dare to breathe too loudly. He looked at the smile on his Young Master¡¯s lips and felt puzzled. The storm had ended¡­ Just like that? Qin Zhen calmed down. At that moment, her phone rang again. She thought it was Yu Zhuang and subconsciously wanted to swear at him. However, when she saw the number on the screen from the corner of her eye, she suddenly sat up straight. Her trembling fingers pressed the answer button. ¡°¡­ Hello?¡± His tone was cautious, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s you, Brother Guinian.¡± Qin Zhen smiled and said. Because of her words, the smile on He Guinian¡¯s face stretched wider, ¡°I¡¯ve thought it through. I¡¯m willing to go for treatment.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Qin Zhen was shocked. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m willing to go for treatment.¡± He Guinian patiently repeated, then paused for a moment. ¡°Are you happy?¡± He asked. ¡°Of course I¡¯m happy!¡± How could Qin Zhen not be happy when she thought about how He Guinian would be able to stand and walk again in the future? She could finally repay the person she owed her life to, ¡°When are you leaving? I¡¯ll see you off!¡± ¡°Okay, you can see me off.¡± He Guinian said word by word again.

Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation -The day He Guinian left- After drinking three cups of tea, Mr. Qin could not help but look up at Qin Zhen¡¯s room upstairs again. It was still tightly shut, ¡°Go and see why Zhenzhen hasn¡¯t come out yet.¡± Qin Youting nodded and walked to Qin Zhen¡¯s room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside. Qin Zhen, whose eyes were red, had a sinister smile on her face as she shouted excitedly, ¡°I succeeded!¡± Then, she slammed the door shut! She had already wasted too much time preparing the gift for He Guinian. If she didn¡¯t hurry up, she would be late! Qin Youting: ¡°?¡± -At the airport- The longer he waited, the colder He Guinian¡¯s expression became. ¡°Young Master, if you don¡¯t board the plane now, you¡¯ll be late. Look¡­¡± He Yi braced himself. The light in He Guinian¡¯s eyes dimmed bit by bit. Why did he always like to dream? Why would Qin Zhen see him off? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± His voice was tinged with sadness. Right at that moment, a girl¡¯s clear voice sounded behind them, ¡°He Guinian!¡± He Guinian immediately turned around! The girl was wearing a white dress, and her black hair was gently draped over her shoulders. Her face was flushed from running. He Yi and He Er were stunned. Was this the same brainless Qin Zhen with her fizzy yellow hair, smokey makeup, and red lips? He Yi pushed He Guinian toward Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen also ran toward He Guinian. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m late!¡± Qin Zhen apologized. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± He Guinian said in a hoarse voice. He could hear his heart beating wildly against his ribs. He was already happy that she could come to see him. ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a gift for you!¡± Qin Zhen took out a sachet, ¡°I know you often suffer from insomnia. I mixed this incense with some Chinese medicine. Use it when you sleep. And uh¡­ I am a little short of time so this is the best I could do right now. I hope you don¡¯t hate it.¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s mother had sewn the sachet for her when she was still alive. It was a little old, so she had been keeping the little pouch. Since she could not find a good small bag for He Guinian, she could only use it first in the meantime. The pink sachet even had ¡®Zhenzhen¡¯ sewn on it. The sachet emitted a faint smell of Chinese medicine, which made people feel inexplicably at ease. He Guinian reached out his pale hand to take the sachet. If anybody looked closely, they would notice how his hand were trembling. This was the first time he received a gift from Qin Zhen. Her eyes were red from the strain. She must have put in a lot of effort to make this sachet. It was precisely at that moment when the broadcast decided to remind him that he had to leave. ¡°Hurry up and board the plane,¡± Qin Zhen said reluctantly, then she stepped forward and hugged He Guinian. She could feel his body stiffen, ¡°Brother Guinian, you should listen to the doctors to heal. I¡¯ll wait for you to come back and marry me.¡± After she finished speaking, Qin Zhen was about to get up, but the man¡¯s large hand was still on her back. She fell into his arms. He Guinian pressed his lips against her cheek, ¡°Qin Zhen, remember what you said. Wait for me to come back and marry you. No matter what, you can only be my wife.¡± ¡°Yes, I know. You¡¯ve said this several times! I will always be your wife. And you¡¯ll have to wait until my college entrance examination is over! I¡¯ll accompany you wherever you want to go!¡± Qin Zhen said seriously. He Guinian looked excited. No matter what, he would take Qin Zhen¡¯s words seriously. Seeing that He Guinian had successfully boarded the plane, Qin Zhen returned to the Qin family¡¯s residence with a peaceful mind. ¡­ In just a few days, the school term had begun. Qin Zhen had mixed feelings as she stood in front of the gates. In her previous life, she had been so focused on Yu Zhuang, she neglected her studies. It was only because Mr. Qin had spent money to donate to the school¡¯s library that she was able to go to a proper university. However, even so, her mind was not on her studies¡­ In this life, she must get into a good university! Qin Zhen took a deep breath and walked in full fighting spirit. On the way, she attracted a lot of attention. Qin Zhen walked with confidence and regret. Her entire aura had also changed. Her appearance came from her heart. The current her attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Since when did our school have a cold beauty!¡± ¡°Is she a new transfer student?¡± ¡°Looks like Qin Si¡¯s name is about to change, but maybe in a different way. Qin Si is flirtatious and beautiful to the point of being aggressive. As for this person, she is cold yet gentle, striking straight to the heart.¡± Everyone secretly took photos of Qin Zhen and posted them on the forum. ¡°Why do I feel that this person looks especially similar to that ugly Qin Zhen?¡± ¡°How is that possible? But why hadn¡¯t we seen that ugly freak these past few days?¡± ¡°That ugly woman dresses like a ghost all day long. She¡¯s also very arrogant when she speaks and does things. I accidentally bumped into her on the field once and her behavior disgusted me so much that I didn¡¯t even have any appetite to eat. Let¡¯s not talk about her¡­¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen listened as she walked past the students. She didn¡¯t even know that she had such great influence. She walked straight into the teaching building and went to Class 28. There were only twenty-eight classes in their age group. Based on her results, it was obvious that she was at the bottom. After all, how could a person who didn¡¯t study get good grades? The class hadn¡¯t started yet, and everyone in the class was fooling around. As Qin Zhen walked in, the noise quieted down. The young girl walked over with the sun shining onto her from the windows, making her white, snowy skin glow. The ordinary blue and white school uniform even enhanced her beauty. Qin Zhen looked straight ahead and ignored the gazes that were staring at her. She strode to the last row of seats against the wall and sat down. ¡°Don¡¯t sit there. That seat is unlucky!¡± The boy at the front table said. ¡°Why?¡± Qin Zhen looked at him. The boy¡¯s name was Jia Qing, and he had never treated her well before. Meeting the girl¡¯s bright eyes, Jia Qing blushed, ¡°That seat belongs to Qin Zhen. She¡¯s a lunatic. But if you really want to sit there, then fine. She¡¯s about to be expelled anyway,¡± Qin Zhen looked at him expressionlessly, ¡°I¡¯m Qin Zhen. I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not expelled.¡± Jia Qing could only stare speechlessly at her. The students who had been quietly listening to the conversation were also speechless. The air froze. Qin Zhen took out her books to review without any expression. In the past, she wasn¡¯t interested in books, but she did start studying in her previous life for revenge. Even though she did terrible things back then, she still remembered the theoretical knowledge she learned. Meanwhile, everyone was still in a state of shock. ¡°So what if she looks better? She is the disgrace of our class. Because of her, our class has become the laughingstock of the school.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a good thing that she¡¯s about to get expelled. I feel disgusted just staying in the same room with her for another day.¡± Everyone continued to mock her, as if their admiration for Qin Zhen was an insult, so much so that they did not even hear the bell ring. Baihe, the English teacher, strode in. When she saw the noisy class, a trace of distaste flashed across her eyes. She pursed her red lips and said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t you all know that the bell has already rung? You guys are the noisiest in the entire building! Poor academic performance, and even worse self-discipline. If you¡¯re not here to study, might as well save your parent¡¯s money and go home to sleep!¡± She placed her book heavily on the podium and glanced at the last row of seats against the wall. When she saw a cold-looking girl sitting there, she frowned. She didn¡¯t care who the girl was. She could be a transfer student who had just arrived. What she cared about was that Qin Zhen didn¡¯t come to school. ¡°You two,¡± She pointed at the two boys, ¡°Clear out the things on Qin Zhen¡¯s seat and throw them out. The school clearly stated that if a student skipped school for seven days or more, they would be expelled! Qin Zhen had not come to class today. Including today, it had been exactly seven days. She is expelled from school!¡± Everyone in the class looked at Baihe speechlessly. They were so embarrassed for her sake that no one moved. Qin Zhen did not expect such a big misunderstanding. She stood up and looked at Baihe expressionlessly, ¡°Ms. Baihe, you do know that before the student¡¯s expulsion, a document has to be issued first, right? Even a teacher has no right to throw out student¡¯s belonging,¡± ¡°Who do you think you are to lecture me? As expected of the worst class. Not only are your grades poor, but nobody knows how to respect their teachers! What a bunch of trash!¡± Every time Baihe came to teach them, she was always angry. Which first-rate teacher would be willing to see a group of trash? Seeing that someone dared to refute her, her face darkened even more. Hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces in class turned gloomy. No one wanted to be called trash all the time. Plus, every time Baihe came to class, her anger only made it harder to look at. ¡°Ms. Baihe, as a teacher, have you memorized the teacher¡¯s ethics? I also want to know, when we learned to respect our teachers, did you learn to respect your students? I believe that no teacher can say that their students are trash,¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s expression remained cold. As a teacher who was criticized by a student in public, especially by a student from the worst class no less, Baihe flew into a rage from humiliation, ¡°I asked someone to throw Qin Zhen¡¯s things. It¡¯s none of your business! Sit down!¡± Qin Zhen looked at her, ¡°Ms.Baihe, you asked someone to throw my things. Of course, it has something to do with me. I¡¯m Qin Zhen.¡± Baihe¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. After a while, she noticed the slightly similar facial features on the girl¡¯s face to Qin Zhen¡¯s. But the teacher didn¡¯t care. This brat was so annoying! She had always hated Qin Zhen. Other than her poor grades, there was another reason for this hatred. Qin Zhen had previously embarrassed her in front of the entire school. Ever since then, she had always wanted to expel her. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Baihe recovered from her shock and quickly refuted, ¡°According to the school rules, if you fail all your results in the exam in half a month, you will be kicked out!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no exam yet, right?¡± Qin Zhen was getting impatient. ¡°How do you know that I won¡¯t pass?¡± Baihe laughed, and so did her classmates. ¡°You think you can pass?¡± Baihe mocked. ¡°Alright, if you can pass, I¡¯ll apologize to you in front of the whole class, no, in front of the entire school! Now, get out of here immediately. I won¡¯t allow a sh*t-stirring brat like you to be in my class!¡± The surrounding students were laughing non-stop. Qin Zhen laughed as well. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you all are laughing about. Aren¡¯t you guys sh*t as well?¡± After saying that, she took a book and walked out calmly. The students were speechless. The bet between Qin Zhen and Baihe spread throughout the school in less than half a day. Everyone thought that Qin Zhen, the psychopath, was trying to stir some trouble again. However, this time, everyone thought that she was out of her mind. ¡°The person who is at the bottom of the rank actually has the face to say that she can pass?¡± The student who spoke had a mocking look on his face. Another person added with contempt, ¡°I think that ugly monster must have had her head caught in the door!¡± One sighed, ¡°She¡¯s not ugly anymore. She¡¯s even prettier than Qin Si!¡± Qin Si listened to her classmates with a cold expression. After she was chased out by the Qin family, she had been living in a small apartment, and hearing how beautiful Qin Zhen had become, only soured her mood. Truth be told, Qin Zhen had never been ugly. The only reason why someone like Qin Si could be the school belle was because she woke up an hour early every day and put on some makeup. And because she knew the difference between them that she had been brainwashing Qin Zhen and instilling what was ¡°beauty¡± to her¡­ Meanwhile, after class, Qin Zhen went to the cafeteria for lunch and successfully received a lot of mocking gazes. She didn¡¯t mind. After all, she knew how tiring it was to deal with brainless people. However, when she had just ordered a sweet and sour steak and sat down, someone approached her, looking for trouble. ¡°Hey, ugly freak, go get us food!¡± Qin Zhen looked up and saw a group of sweaty teenagers in jerseys looking at her arrogantly and scornfully. They were all on the same basketball team as Yu Zhuang. Back then, she liked Yu Zhuang, so she even flattered them and helped them get food every day. Over time, they became arrogant and treated her like a servant. If she hadn¡¯t met them, she wouldn¡¯t have helped Yu Zhuang spend money to go to university. However, she was also the one who paid for his high school. So, she spent a lot of money on Yu Zhuang. How could he dare to kill her? How heartless. ¡°Get lost.¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s voice was cold. Zhu Qiang sneered and threw Qin Zhen¡¯s food away, ¡°You¡¯re getting tougher? Don¡¯t think that Brother Yu will like you just because you¡¯ve become prettier! Hurry and get us some food, or else¡­ Roar!¡± Qin Zhen instantly kicked Zhu Qiang¡¯s stomach. Zhu Qiang screamed and hugged his abdomen in pain. ¡°What a waste of food. Shameful, you know?¡± Qin Zhen stepped on his ankle, her eyes cold. ¡°You b*tch! I¡¯ll f*cking kill you!¡± Zhu Qiang had never been treated like this before. Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhen¡¯s foot moved from his ankle to his face and stepped on his mouth! ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to speak, then don¡¯t say anything,¡± Everyone was stunned. Was this still that cowardly and ugly monster from before? Zhu Qiang¡¯s face turned the color of a pig¡¯s liver. He wanted to get up, but despite the young girl looking deceptively thin and weak, she had great strength. She stepped on him so hard that he could not move at all. And also, it seemed like his chin was broken! Qin Zhen had learned her martial from He Guinian when she was young. In addition, she had been a tomboy since she was a kid. She used to climb over walls and trees. In terms of physical strength, she was stronger than ordinary men. The only reason she never did any of this in the past was because she was so blinded by those two sh*ts! Zhu Qiang¡¯s face turned purple. He gritted his teeth and growled with all his strength, ¡°B*tch!¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes turned cold as she stomped harder, ¡°Try saying it again?¡± Zhu Qiang let out another painful groan. At that moment, Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes flashed. The supervising teacher had arrived. She pulled Zhu Qiang up and placed her hand on his shoulder. She exerted a little force and smiled, ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. We¡¯re just fooling around.¡± Zhu Qiang was so angry that his eyes widened! ¡°Qin Zhen!¡± At this moment, a male¡¯s voice cried out in disbelief. It was Yu Zhuang. He rushed over and looked at Qin Zhen¡¯s fair face, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. Then, he saw her sticking close to Zhu Qiang and roared, ¡°Take your hand away! What have you done?!¡± Qin Zhen suppressed the hatred in her heart and stare at him, ¡°Who are you? What does it have to do with you?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Everyone was stunned. How could Qin Zhen treat Yu Zhuang like this? Didn¡¯t she like Yu Zhuang? Following behind him every day like a bootlicker? Qin Zhen had to admit, Yu Zhuang was really good-looking. In his youth, Yu Zhuang could be considered a man who had stunned the entire school. When Yu Zhuang heard what she had said, he choked and looked at Qin Zhen in bewilderment. He still remembered what she said over the phone that day. Why did Qin Zhen suddenly become a different person? However, he didn¡¯t believe that a person could change drastically overnight. He thought that this was Qin Zhen¡¯s way of attracting him. This thought alone clearly showed the things Qin Zhen would do in the past to get his love. ¡°Qin Zhen, you¡¯re disgusting!¡± He roared, ¡°No matter what you do, I won¡¯t like you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m disgusting? Yu Zhuang, let¡¯s settle the score and see who¡¯s the disgusting one,¡± Qin Zhen suddenly smiled and pointed at Yu Zhuang¡¯s clothes. ¡°This jersey was custom-made by me for 100,000 yuan. The wrist guard you¡¯re wearing, I bought it from a high-end brand for 18,000 yuan. The watch I bought? 200,000 yuan,¡± ¡°And the shoes on your feet, including the autograph on them, I got someone to sign them overseas. After going back and forth, including the travel expenses, it should be at least a million yuan, right?¡± Qin Zhen calmly stated the facts. As she spewed the numbers one by one, the crowd went into an uproar. Some of the boys¡¯ expressions changed immediately. They touched their faces and compared them to Yu Zhuang. They were probably on par in terms of looks, right? Rich women, here we come! Yu Zhuang¡¯s face had already turned as red as a tomato, ¡°Qin Zhen, have you had enough?!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t finished yet. Even the underwear you¡¯re wearing is custom-made. I bought it!¡± Qin Zhen sneered, ¡°And your food and your place to stay. Didn¡¯t I pay for them? If it weren¡¯t for me, would you have been able to get into this high school with your results? Your face was only useful to me in the past. Do you think the school also looks at people¡¯s faces? In the past two years, I¡¯ve given you no less than five million1, haven¡¯t I?¡± ¡°I have spent so much money on you, hmm?¡± Everyone looked at Yu Zhuang with subtle judgment. Spending a woman¡¯s money was nothing bad. After all, Qin Zhen was willing to give it to him. However, while Qin Zhen spent money on him, he still pretended to be aloof in school, as if Qin Zhen was pestering him. What was this called? Was he trying to take advantage of her? The gazes of the surrounding people were like sharp blades, stabbing Yu Zhuang in every direction. His face was fierce as he growled, ¡°Qin Zhen!¡± Qin Zhen didn¡¯t care about his expression, ¡°Yu Zhuang, you eat my food, drink my water, live in the apartment I bought, and you¡¯re still acting so high and mighty in front of me. Just the money I transferred to you alone is more than three million yuan. The transfer record is still there. I can make you spit out the money. But if you find me disgusting, then don¡¯t take the money. I am not an unforgiving person. I¡¯ll just treat it as buying your face and look at it for two years. Don¡¯t appear in front of me again in the future, and don¡¯t blame me when you can¡¯t afford to pay back every penny I give you,¡± After saying that, Qin Zhen left in wide strides. Yu Zhuang came from a poor mountain village. When Qin Zhen first met him, he was wearing a faded blue shirt and yellow canvas shoes. The fall from luxury to simplicity is quite hard. His evil consequences were yet to come, but she was not in a hurry to deal with him now. After all, she had more important things to do. After leaving the cafeteria, Qin Zhen returned to her dormitory. She lived in a single dormitory. In fact, the Qin manor was not far from the school, but in her previous life, she chose to live on campus to be closer to Yu Zhuang¡¯s place. Qin Youting directly donated a building and asked the school to prepare a dormitory for her. Soon, everyone noticed how odd Qin Zhen was. She never read books in the past, but now she started reading after class. However, she flipped through the book faster than she turned hostile. In the blink of an eye, she had flipped a few pages. The teachers looked at her with complicated expressions. However, it was better to be willing to read than to play every day. So the teachers let her be. Qin Zhen had a photographic memory, but mathematics couldn¡¯t be accomplished just by having such talent. To her, math was the most difficult subject. After staring at the problems for a while, she felt drowsy. She couldn¡¯t help but think of He Guinian. She did not know what he was doing¡­ Qin Zhen returned to the dormitory, turned on her phone, and took a photo of herself, deliberately emphasizing the pile of books behind her. After re-reading her text a few times, she sent it to He Guinian with satisfaction. [It¡¯s so tiring to go to school. Studying is so hard. I¡¯m crying! How¡¯s your leg?] -Overseas- He Guinian held his phone with a serious expression. He looked at the photo. The girl was lying on the desk in her pajamas. She did not put on any makeup and her eyes were red. She looked like she was about to cry.

Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen rarely sent him any texts. He Guinian was very cautious, afraid that she would not like his reply. Thinking of the girl crying made his heart ache. [Have you been crying? Don¡¯t cry. If studying is too hard, don¡¯t study anymore.] Qin Zhen could imagine him frowning and she giggled at the mental image. [If I don¡¯t study, I won¡¯t be able to get into a good university. If I don¡¯t get into a good university, how can I be worthy of you? What if you don¡¯t want me anymore?] [Zhenzhen, only you don¡¯t want me. There¡¯s no one who doesn¡¯t want you.] Was He Guinian¡¯s reply. Qin Zhen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She remembered how He Guinian had said the same thing to her in her previous life. And her response at that time? Well, she only felt annoyed. She could not shake this man off no matter what¡­ Qin Zhen quickly changed the topic. [Has the doctor seen you?] [What did they say? Why didn¡¯t you answer me when I asked you how your leg was?] He Guinian replied, [Don¡¯t worry. The doctor said that as long as I cooperate well, I¡¯ll be fine in a month at most.] Qin Zhen was too lazy to type and directly sent a voice message: ¡°Then you must cooperate well Mr. He. I miss you so much. I want to see you. What should I do, Mr. He, I like you more and more! That¡¯s why you have to be good and¡­¡± The girl¡¯s voice was soft and sweet. He Guinian¡¯s cheeks were burning. He could feel his heart beating faster when he said with a bitter tone, ¡°Zhenzhen, I miss you too¡­ Thank you.¡± ¡®Thank you for being willing to like me when my mind is still stuck in mud. Even if it¡¯s just to coax me, I¡¯m happy.¡¯ After chatting with He Guinian for a while and calming his uneasy heart, Qin Zhen once again fell into the boring and fascinating world of mathematics. Wasn¡¯t there a saying that goes: ¡®Mathematics beats me a thousand times over, but I treat mathematics like my first love!¡¯ Before she even realized it, it was time for the exam. Once the papers were handed out, Qin Zhen began to answer them. Other than Qin Zhen, Jia Qing¡¯s results were also very poor. He sat not far from her. He looked up and saw the girl writing furiously. However, after peaking over at what she wrote, his face darkened. Qin Zhen didn¡¯t even read the questions and started writing. How did she answer any of this? She was clearly taking a blind guess! It would be better to choose the same answer in the multiple-choice section. Who knows? Maybe, his probability of getting some of them right would be higher. He pursed his lips and chose ¡®A¡¯ for all the multiple-choice questions. Qin Zhen finished all the questions in just half an hour and then lay her head on the table to sleep. When the supervisor saw her sleeping on her desk, he shook his head in disappointment. However, he did not say anything. After all, he knew what she was like, so he did not make things difficult for her. After the exam, everyone was relieved. The people of Class 28 were even more relaxed. They were all discussing the answers intensely. ¡°Qin Zhen and I are in the same examination hall. You guys wouldn¡¯t believe it! She was sleeping the entire time and barely touched her pen. How could someone like her pass the exam? Everything is only possible in a dream!¡± ¡°That idiot is finally leaving our school. That¡¯s great!¡± Right at that exact moment, Qin Zhen walked into Class 20 where the next exam would be held. ¡°Aiyo, Qin Zhen is back,¡± Someone deliberately mocked her. ¡°Do you think you can pass?¡± Qin Zhen walked to her seat, put down her pencil case, and replied, ¡°Of course.¡± It caused them to laugh. The person who spoke continued to mock, ¡°How many points can you get?¡± ¡°At least six hundred points.¡± The crowd was silent for a moment before laughing harder. ¡°Six hundred? How many points were there in total? You didn¡¯t even get 300 points on the previous tests! But then again, it¡¯s not illegal to brag.¡± Du Juan also sneered. She had always been first in class, but this time, she could barely get 600 points. Although Class 28 was considered the worst of the bunch, it was still part of a highly prestigious high school. In fact, the student¡¯s results were not bad, but their ranking in the school overall was relatively low. So, when they graduate, they would still be seen as smart students in the public eye. Qin Zhen didn¡¯t say anything. She couldn¡¯t be bothered with these people. She packed her things and went back to her dorm. After the exams in the afternoon, there was no class in the evening. The teachers were also working overtime to mark the papers. Because it was a mock college entrance examination, the seats were randomized, and the student¡¯s name was also covered to prevent biased scoring. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s someone who scored full marks in English this year.¡± An English teacher said in surprise as she finished marking the paper. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she secretly looked at the name. Because it was covered, she could only see part of the name, ¡®Qin¡¯. She immediately smiled, ¡°It must be Qin Si¡¯s paper from Class 01.¡± ¡°That child is smart and obedient. I don¡¯t have to worry about her studies.¡± The homeroom teacher of Class 01 immediately beamed. Coincidentally, Qin Si came into the office to deliver her class exercise books. The teacher pulled her and praised her subtly, ¡°You did well this time.¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t just do ¡®well¡¯, Old Wang, you¡¯re being too humble in your praises. She scored full marks for English.¡± Usually, there were only a few people in the top rankings. The only person with the surname Qin in that top ranking was Qin Si, so the teachers naturally thought that it was her paper.

Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation And of course, teachers naturally favor good students more, ¡°Keep working hard. You¡¯ll definitely get into the top university.¡± Qin Si didn¡¯t expect to get full marks for English this time around. She was stumped with most of the new words and barely understood them. Who would¡¯ve thought that she got all of them right? What did this mean? It meant that she was very smart. As expected of her! ¡°Thank you! I¡¯ll continue to work hard!¡± She said shyly. ¡°Qin Zhen from Class 28 is your cousin, right? I don¡¯t know how she did on the test. I heard that she even made a bet with you, Ms. Baihe?¡± Someone in the office said. Baihe¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I oversee Qin Zhen¡¯s examination hall. That child was sleeping the entire time. They both had the surname Qin, but the two of them are complete opposites,¡± The teacher shook his head repeatedly. Baihe¡¯s expression turned even uglier, ¡°Class 28 is a bunch of useless trash. Qin Zhen is the shame of our school!¡± ¡°Ms. Baihe, you¡¯re wrong,¡± Li Wu, the homeroom teacher of Class 28, was unhappy when he heard her remark, ¡°We are teachers. How can we say that about our students? I remember there¡¯s a saying that goes like this: ¡®There are no stupid students, only teachers who don¡¯t know how to teach¡¯. Doesn¡¯t the English teacher understand the phrase ¡®teaching according to the students¡¯ aptitude¡¯?¡± Li Wu said, boasting. No matter what his students were like, he did not want to be bullied by others either. He doesn¡¯t care about what other people think about him. Baihe¡¯s face only darkened and she didn¡¯t say anything else. When Qin Si heard the teacher¡¯s discussion, she didn¡¯t say anything and tactfully left the office. A few minutes later, there was a cry of surprise, ¡°Oh my god, only one point was deducted for Chinese!¡± Hearing this, the teachers hurriedly gathered around. The Chinese literature examiner only deducted one point for the reading section! This student even scored full marks for their writing section! The writing section was a self-written essay, and it was so long that it made people¡¯s blood boil. ¡°This student¡¯s writing is good!¡± ¡°Wait, why does their handwriting look so familiar¡­¡± The teacher who spoke first quickly went back to get the English paper. The handwriting was exactly the same as the Chinese paper. ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem to be Qin Si¡¯s¡­¡± The Chinese teacher said. She had revised Qin Si¡¯s exam. Her writing was elegant and graceful, but it was not as majestic as this essay. They couldn¡¯t help but secretly peek at the name out of curiosity. When they saw who it was, the teachers in the office felt as though they were struck by lightning! ¡°Qin Zhen?!¡± How could it be? ¡­ During Wednesday morning¡¯s self-study, Li Wu walked into Class 28 with their report cards. The expression on his face does not bode good news. The students of Class 28 were used to this. Every time after the exam, Li Wu would look like his wife had died. ¡°Everyone did very well in this test. Among them, Du Juan and Yan Yue improved the most. Some students didn¡¯t even answer the second half of the exam. The college entrance examination is around the corner, are you all still in a daze?¡­ Now, let me read out the rankings. First place, Du Juan, 501 points. Second place, Yan Yue, 493 points. Third place¡­¡± ¡°¡­ Last place, Jia Qing! Jia Qing, I will call your parents tonight.¡± Jia Qing looked glum. The other students were more concerned about Qin Zhen. After all, who could forget about her bet? Immediately, a mischievous boy took the lead and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call out Qin Zhen¡¯s name?¡± Li Wu¡¯s gaze swept to Qin Zhen, who was sitting quietly. Then, with a complicated expression on his face, he said, ¡°Qin Zhen, please follow me.¡± Qin Zhen stood up and obediently followed Li Wu out. It made the students of Class 28 even more curious about what was going on. Li Wu immediately brought Qin Zhen to the administrative office. All the teachers were gathered there, looking at a stack of papers with solemn expressions. Qin Zhen¡¯s name was written on the top left corner of each paper. This was the first time they had seen such a standard answer in their decades of teaching! Qin Zhen scored a full score of 150 points for both English and math, while she only had one point deducted for Chinese. The full score for science was 300 points, and she almost maxed out with 297 points! Other than that, she scored full marks for everything else! Her answers were exactly the same as the standard answers. If it was any other student who had always ranked at the top, they would be very happy. However, it was very strange for a student who always ranked last would suddenly score so high out of nowhere. The moment Li Wu brought Qin Zhen in, all the teachers¡¯ eyes were on her. Baihe also looked over, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. ¡°Qin Zhen, this is your paper. How do you feel about this?¡± The dean looked at her coldly. Qin Zhen glanced at her test paper on the table, ¡°They¡¯re not bad. I¡¯m satisfied with the results.¡± The dean had wanted her to admit her mistake, but he didn¡¯t expect her to answer his question literally. He was instantly furious. ¡°Qin Zhen! You¡¯ve always ignored the school rules, and I¡¯ve already tolerated you enough. But this time, you even resorted to cheating! Hurry up and tell us, how did you get the answers? I guarded the mock exam papers with all my being. How did you steal them?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I didn¡¯t cheat.¡± Qin Zhen frowned. ¡°You still won¡¯t admit it?¡± Baihe sneered and picked up the English exam paper from the table, ¡°I was transferred here to be your English teacher, and I¡¯ve been teaching you for more than a year. Moreover, there are many new vocabularies in this reading comprehension test. The questions are supposed to be beyond your level. It¡¯s meant to test your depth of understanding. How can you understand all of it?¡± ¡°Qin Zhen, tell us the truth! You can still be given a lighter punishment if you do,¡± The Chinese teacher, Ye Chunlu, said anxiously. She was the most patient teacher out of all of them. Although Qin Zhen had done some outrageous things in the past, she still wanted to give the girl a chance. After all, she was young and had made a bet with her teacher. She might have done something stupid in a moment of anger. ¡°I told you, I didn¡¯t cheat and that is the truth!¡± Qin Zhen was getting a little annoyed. Because of her rebirth, she was still trying to get used to this again and had neglected the problem of her strange results. But even if she did it again, she would not regret it and would have done the same. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you explain to me how you managed to get such results? Qin Zhen, do you think we¡¯ll believe that a student at the bottom can get full marks so abruptly?¡± The dean felt that the young girl was being unreasonable. Even now, she was still stubborn. It was like a plant with damaged roots, too late to repair. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Looking at Qin Zhen¡¯s arrogant expression, he did not wait for her to answer and immediately said, ¡°We can¡¯t control you anymore. We¡¯ll call your parents over!¡± The commotion in the office soon spread, and the news of the teachers calling for Qin Zhen¡¯s parents, because she cheated, was quickly known by everyone in the school. ¡°Have you heard? Qin Zhen cheated! What do you think her brain is made of? How dare anyone gives her full marks when she cheated?¡± ¡°She¡¯s really stupid.¡± ¡°Qin Zhen will definitely be expelled this time!¡± Half an hour later, Qin Jin and Qin Youting rushed to the school. When the dean called them, he didn¡¯t tell them what had happened, which made them worry, afraid that something had happened to Qin Zhen. ¡°Uncle, Brother!¡± Qin Si had been standing by the entrance. When she saw them coming over, she hurriedly went up to them. ¡°You must be here for Zhenzhen. Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°What happened to Zhenzhen?¡± Qin Jin asked immediately. Qin Si had a difficult expression on her face, ¡°Uhm¡­ The teachers didn¡¯t know how Zhenzhen scored full marks and suspected her of cheating to get the highest mark in the whole grade.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Qin Jin and Qin Youting denied it in unison. After saying that, they ignored Qin Si and strode into the dean¡¯s office. Qin Si almost gritted her teeth. Despite the odds against her, they all still believed in Qin Zhen! That b*tch, she¡¯s already courting death, yet she¡¯s still so lucky. After entering the administrative office, they saw Qin Zhen standing against the wall. The two of them immediately felt their hearts ache. Qin Zhen raised her head and rubbed her nose awkwardly, ¡°Dad, Brother.¡± ¡°We know what happened and we are here for you. Everything will be fine,¡± Qin Youting said gently as he patted her head. ¡°President Qin, take a look at your daughter¡¯s paper.¡± The dean said, barely holding back his anger. ¡°Sir, Zhenzhen made a mistake. I apologize on her behalf. I hope you won¡¯t make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, it will ruin Zhenzhen¡¯s¡­¡± Qin Si said anxiously as she caught up to Qin Jin and Qin Youting. When the dean saw her, all that he could think about was how the gap between the two girls was even greater. ¡°Qin Si, don¡¯t speak up for her. The nature of this matter is simply too vile! Qin Zhen, look at your sister! Excellent character and good results! What about you? Poor behavior and grades wouldn¡¯t make help you in society!¡± When Qin Jin and Qin Youting heard this, their expressions turned cold. ¡°Qin Si, Zhenzhen doesn¡¯t need your apology. She didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± Qin Youting said coldly. ¡°Didn¡¯t do anything wrong? Didn¡¯t you look at her test papers¡ª¡± ¡°Our Zhenzhen is amazing. She did so well in her exams. Even I wasn¡¯t as good as you when I was in school,¡± Qin Youting used his index finger to flick Qin Zhen¡¯s forehead fondly. Qin Jin nodded repeatedly. ¡°What do you want to eat when we get home? Dad will make it for you. Since you¡¯re an adult now, Dad will buy you a car to celebrate our baby getting first place in the whole grade!¡± Qin Si was speechless. Everyone present was speechless. The dean was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. Qin Youting asked, ¡°Since our Zhenzhen has already gotten first place in the grade, who can she copy?¡± The dean choked and took out the standard answer sheet. ¡°Her answers are almost identical to the official standard answers! Besides, as Qin Zhen¡¯s parents, you should know very well how low her usual grades are.¡± ¡°So? You mean Zhenzhen stole that piece of paper?¡± Qin Youting replied indifferently. ¡°The exam papers are kept in school with you looking after them. Shouldn¡¯t the problem lie with you?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The dean couldn¡¯t win against Qin Youting¡¯s argument and turned his gaze to Qin Jin. ¡°President Qin, you should take a look¡ª¡± ¡°I know my daughter¡¯s character very well. She won¡¯t cheat. The worst she can do in an exam is being in last place. It¡¯s not like our family can¡¯t afford it,¡± Qin Jin supported Qin Zhen unconditionally, ¡°It¡¯s you, Dean. Without concrete evidence, you accused my daughter of cheating and seriously affected her reputation. You should apologize to my daughter.¡± The dean wanted to punch him. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this family had donated so many things to the school, he wouldn¡¯t have been so polite, ¡°President Qin, if you insist on this educational philosophy, then I have nothing to say. No matter how much you donate to the school, it will be meaningless! Qin Zhen¡¯s incident seriously violated the school¡¯s rules. The only reasonable solution to this is expulsion.¡± The dean finally realized that the reason Qin Zhen had become like this was because her family spoiled her rotten. How could parents spoil their children so unconditionally? ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I didn¡¯t cheat. Do you think that a weak-minded student couldn¡¯t get good grades? Besides, I¡¯m sure everyone has seen my test papers on previous exams before. How did you come to this conclusion when all I did before was hand over blank test papers?¡± ¡°There are hardworking students, I agree, but you are definitely not one,¡± Baihe suddenly said, ¡°You don¡¯t usually listen to class or study. Do you think that just by reading for a few days, you¡¯ve accumulated a lot of knowledge?¡± After saying that, she looked at Qin Jin, ¡°I think Qin Zhen made a very reasonable point. If we continue to be in a stalemate, she won¡¯t admit it. So how about this? We, teachers, will find a set of questions and let Qin Zhen do it on the spot. If she can solve them all, it means that she didn¡¯t cheat.¡± She didn¡¯t want to help Qin Zhen. She just wanted to completely press her to death so that she wouldn¡¯t be able to make a comeback. The dean was also holding back his anger and agreed with Baihe¡¯s suggestion. Since Qin Zhen wouldn¡¯t admit it, he had no way to agree or disagree with her. Baihe was the first to speak up, ¡°I don¡¯t need to look for questions. I¡¯ll just write a few words for you. If you can recognize all of them, I¡¯ll confirm your results.¡± Baihe wrote down twenty English words in one go. The teachers at the side frowned. They can describe these words as uncommon. However, Qin Zhen¡¯s expression did not change. She picked up the pen and glanced at it before writing down the Chinese meaning under each vocabulary. Baihe widened her eyes in disbelief. She had especially used these words to make things difficult for Qin Zhen, but how did she know what these words meant? She answered them so effortlessly. In Qin Zhen¡¯s previous life, she was sent abroad by Qin Jin and stayed alone for several years. Naturally, she had a different understanding of foreign languages than others. ¡°Ms. Baihe, did I write everything correctly?¡± Qin Zhen glanced at the English teacher and smiled, but it didn¡¯t reach her eyes. Baihe¡¯s expression turned ugly. She picked up the pen and wrote a long string of words on the paper. This was publicly acknowledged as the most difficult word when she was studying at university. She didn¡¯t believe that Qin Zhen, a mere high school student, could recognize it. The people present had all varying expressions on their faces, but none of them were good, especially when they saw that the teacher¡¯s word was almost as long as a sentence. It was obvious that she was deliberately making things difficult for Qin Zhen. Qin Jin and Qin Youting¡¯s glare were like lasers. Qin Zhen only smiled. She picked up her pen again and wrote down the Chinese characters one after another on the paper. Baihe¡¯s face instantly turned pale. How was that possible? ¡°Ms. Baihe, you¡¯ve tested me on so many words. I want to test you too,¡± Qin Zhen said calmly. ¡°Can you tell me what this word means?¡± As she spoke, she wrote a long word on the paper. Baihe looked at it for a while and gritted her teeth. She didn¡¯t recognize it. This word was too long and too uncommon. Even when she tried to break it down, she couldn¡¯t discern its meaning. ¡°This word means¡­¡± Qin Zhen laughed, and so did the other English teachers who were present. Actually, it was normal to not recognize such long words, but what was awkward was that Baihe had deliberately used long words to make things difficult for Qin Zhen. Now that Qin Zhen, a student, had answered it correctly, it would be difficult for the teacher to deny the credibility of her claim. It would be very embarrassing if she could not answer it as easily and as quickly as Qin Zhen. Qin Youting said coldly, ¡°Dean, it seems that the teachers in your school don¡¯t have enough knowledge. With her level, I doubt if she can teach.¡± Baihe¡¯s face turned pale. Qin Zhen smiled at her, ¡°The meaning of this word is: a lung disease caused by volcanic dust1. It¡¯s not that difficult to recognize, isn¡¯t it?¡± Baihe stopped talking, but anyone could see the embarrassment and sheer anger on her face.

Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The second test was science. She was given physics, chemistry, and biology questions which, in Qin Zhen¡¯s opinion, was very easy. In her previous life, she had relied on those methods for revenge, but she had failed. The teachers present were so shocked that they were speechless. It was common for students who get high marks to have the ability to answer quickly. The language teachers were at a loss for words. After all, they were witnessing this with their own eyes. They all saw the questions for themselves. At that point, everyone was convinced that Qin Zhen¡¯s results were real even though it was still unbelievable. The math teacher excitedly took out a paper. ¡°Qin Zhen, I¡¯ve already set the questions! Please solve it.¡± Qin Zhen looked at the questions. It was a set of problems from last year¡¯s mathematics competition. She had a headache because she hated the subject. But she still asked the teacher, ¡°Can I skip this?¡± The math teacher looked saddened, ¡°You¡¯ve done everyone else¡¯s questions, but you¡¯re not doing mine? It¡¯s not good for you to be so biased.¡± The male teacher in his thirties acted cute without any moral integrity. Qin Zhen¡¯s lips twitched as she took a pen to do the questions. Math is not her strong point, but she has seen the problems before. Everything was stored in her brain, all resolved with the same type of formula, and she immediately wrote the solution down. The math teacher looked at her answer and nodded in satisfaction. If he had known earlier, he would have let Qin Zhen participate in the competition. She would have gained something. So far, the people in the office had varying expressions. ¡°Qin Zhen, your results are real. I must apologize to you. I have wronged you.¡± The dean readily admitted his faults. He was a very open-minded man. When he was angry, he would be genuinely angry. When he was happy, he would also be genuinely happy. Now that he knew that he had wronged her, he apologized to Qin Zhen without hesitation. Qin Zhen nodded in response to the dean. Then, she looked at Baihe. ¡°I remember that Ms. Baihe said that if I could pass all of them, she would apologize to me in front of the entire school.¡± Baihe didn¡¯t expect Qin Zhen to make such a request. She was a teacher while this girl was a student. There was nothing for her to apologize for! ¡°I won¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°As a teacher, shouldn¡¯t you set an example? Are you going back on your words, Ms. Baihe?¡± Qin Zhen asked. Baihe gritted her teeth, ¡°I¡­.¡± No matter how Baihe tried to escape this situation, under the dean¡¯s pressure, she finally agreed to apologize. Soon, all the students in the school were quickly gathered together. This was perhaps the treatment of a top student. No teacher would refuse the request of a destined top scorer. The gathered students were all stunned. Why did the dean suddenly assemble them all here? ¡°It must be because of Qin Zhen! She stole the answer sheet for the mock exam and stupidly copied them. Now, the school leaders will definitely punish her!¡± ¡°The fact that she can even find the third-year answer sheet is quite amazing! If she put this much effort into cheating, she could¡¯ve used her brains to study.¡± ¡°Who cares? That idiot is finally going to be expelled. Our Class 28 finally has one less lunatic! We finally don¡¯t have to be laughed at anymore!¡± The students from Class 28 said excitedly. Du Juan laughed mockingly. ¡°Qin Zhen is really stupid. She¡¯s courting death. If she didn¡¯t even know how to copy discreetly, then she¡¯s dumb to even attempt cheating. She deserved to be expelled.¡± Soon, the dean and his entourage walked into the assembly hall. Behind him was a large group of teachers, including Qin Zhen. ¡°Quiet!¡± The dean stood on the stage and his booming voice spread throughout the hall. The students did not dare to speak anymore. The students of Class 28 craned their necks excitedly, waiting for Qin Zhen to be expelled. The dean took a deep breath and said loudly, ¡°After our investigation, Qin Zhen did not cheat. She scored a total of 746 points!¡± His words caused an uproar! ¡°Qin Zhen didn¡¯t cheat and scored more than 740 points?! The full score is only 750. How is this possible?¡± ¡°There must be something wrong!¡± Du Juan from Class 28 could not believe it. If that piece of trash didn¡¯t cheat, how could she have gotten such a high score? And she had surpassed her score by a mile! ¡°I apologize for the misunderstanding and for ruining Qin Zhen¡¯s reputation. I also hope that the students can learn from Qin Zhen. This experience is a good example for everyone. As long as anybody is willing to work hard, they would reap the rewards!¡± But the dean¡¯s words were met with protest, ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know how horrible Qin Zhen is at studying? The lowest-ranking student suddenly became the first in the entire grade? Who would believe that there¡¯s nothing wrong with this?¡± Class 28 was the class they looked down on the most and Qin Zhen was at the bottom of that trash can. Now that they were all stepped on by said trash, everyone could not accept it just like that.

Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Mr. Dean, you can¡¯t be so biased just because Qin Zhen¡¯s family is rich and they donated some buildings to the school! This is one of the top high schools in the country. They can¡¯t do whatever they want just because they have money. Qin Zhen is from Class 28, which is the worst in the entire school. How could Qin Zhen rank first?¡± When the top students saw Qin Jin and Qin Youting standing beside Qin Zhen, they secretly wondered if it was because the Qin family had donated many buildings to the school that the dean had openly helped Qin Zhen fake her score. They were convinced that it was the case. Their school had a good reputation, but because of Qin Zhen, they had dragged their reputation down again and again. What kind of school image did they still have? Since Qin Zhen liked to spend money to settle things, she should start her own school. Why did she have to harm them too? Before the dean could say anything, the people of Class 28 were shouting their dissatisfaction. ¡°Are you trying to say that Class 28 only has bad students?¡± Jia Qing said angrily. ¡°What? Is Class 01 the only class that has good students, and only one of you can get first place? The exams are all randomly assigned. How can you guys think you¡¯re above everybody else? ¡®If nobody in your class can do it, then nobody can¡¯? Why are you looking for an excuse?¡± ¡°Exactly! When one of us is ranked first you all start complaining! She even beat Qin Si, who ranked second, by more than 50 points! You guys aren¡¯t even as good as Qin Si! What face do you have to shout here, huh?¡± The people of Class 28 were unusually united. They did not want to speak up for Qin Zhen, but they could not stand the arrogant attitude of the people from Class 01. ¡°Shut up! Qin Zhen obviously cheated and the school is helping her, don¡¯t embarrass yourselves.¡± Du Juan, the class monitor of Class 28, hissed at her classmates with a red face. Jia Qing¡¯s clique was unhappy, ¡°If others fight us, we¡¯ll fight them back. What¡¯s wrong with that? Du Juan, you¡¯re also from Class 28. Instead of helping us, why you¡¯re siding with them? Is there something wrong with your brain?¡± Jia Qing and the others did not care about what she said. The people of Class 28 started to look at Du Juan unkindly. The class monitor could only blush and quickly shut her mouth. ¡°We¡¯ve already investigated the truth,¡± The dean said angrily, ¡°All the teachers can prove that Qin Zhen didn¡¯t cheat! Do you still not believe in your teachers?¡± ¡°Unless she retakes the exam, we will never believe it! We want the truth!¡± The people of Class 01 were in a huge uproar. They studied day and night every day and worked hard for more than ten years. How could they be convinced that they were trampled on by the student who ranked last? The dean was in a difficult position. If it weren¡¯t for what happened in the office, he wouldn¡¯t have believed Qin Zhen¡¯s results either. However, if these students made a fuss, it would probably alert the Ministry of Education. The homeroom teacher of Class 28, Li Wu, suddenly added, ¡°We said that Qin Zhen¡¯s results were real because we had already re-tested her. Since everyone does not believe what we said, we could show them the surveillance footage. The surveillance cameras can prove that we¡¯re not lying.¡± The dean looked at Li Wu with gratitude and admiration and asked someone to get the surveillance video. Qin Si gritted her teeth bitterly. She could not understand why Qin Zhen would have such a huge change in the blink of an eye. Once everyone saw the video, Qin Zhen¡¯s results could no longer be faked¡­ The videotape was quickly brought over and the dean asked someone to put it on the big screen. Yu Zhuang didn¡¯t say a word and couldn¡¯t help but watch. The video was evidence enough, and it even had audio. Many people in the school had some opinions about Ms. Baihe. Now, she had no room for excuse. Who asked her to always be high and mighty and put on a constant wretched expression on her face? Now that they saw that she was inferior to Qin Zhen, everyone¡¯s impression of her changed a lot. When the video ended, the dean raised his hand to calm the excited students. ¡°I asked you to come here today for a different matter.¡± After saying that, he gave Baihe a look. Baihe felt so embarrassed, but at this point, she had to do it even if she didn¡¯t want to. Otherwise, the only other option she had would be to resign. If she was fired from a top high school, her reputation would be ruined. She took a deep breath and looked at all the students below the stage. ¡°Everyone¡­. Everyone has seen Qin Zhen¡¯s improvement. She has indeed given me a lesson and let me see her talent. I apologize for the bad words I said to her before. However, a teacher¡¯s scolding and reprimands are with the intent of spurring their students to be better! I don¡¯t want to see any of you waste your time¡­ And Qin Zhen, I¡¯m sorry.¡± After saying that, she bent down and bowed. On the surface, she looked righteous, but her nails had already pierced through her palm in sheer anger. Now, only the pain could keep her rational. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation All the students in the school were extremely excited. Some of the students with poor results immediately regarded Qin Zhen as their role model, hoping that they would be able to make a comeback like her. The students of Class 28 also went back to class. The Qin father and son planned to bring Qin Zhen home to celebrate. Their baby had shocked the world with a single feat. Of course, they had to celebrate! Moreover, with Qin Zhen¡¯s results, it would not be a problem for her to get into any university. Now, it did not matter if she just waited around and do nothing. Qin Zhen asked Qin Jin and Qin Youting to wait for her at the school gate because she left her things in the classroom. When she walked to the corner of the teaching building, she was met with a familiar girl¡¯s red and swollen eyes, glaring straight at her. ¡°You¡¯re not Qin Zhen. Who are you?¡± Qin Zhen looked at Qin Si with a smile and laughed out loud. ¡°Oh, you found out? I¡¯m not the Qin Zhen of the past. Now, I¡¯m Qin Zhen, who has been reborn! The idiot you fooled in the past is already dead!¡± As she spoke, she slowly went upstairs and finally stood in front of Qin Si. There was no smile or warmth in her eyes. ¡°Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. It was you who gave me a chance to be reborn.¡± At this moment, Qin Si saw intense hatred and even killing intent in her eyes. An inexplicable sense of panic and fear rose in her heart. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± She shouted at her cousin. ¡°Qin Si, don¡¯t think we have settled our scores yet, but I have a lot of things to do at the moment. You know better than me what you¡¯ve done. Before I come looking for you, don¡¯t come looking for me. Otherwise, you left me no choice but to send you to the afterlife sooner than what you would have liked¡­¡± With that, Qin Zhen turned to leave. Qin Si looked at Qin Zhen¡¯s departing figure, and a trace of jealousy and madness appeared in her eyes. Somehow, the first thing that entered her mind was that only one of them could live! She reached out her arms, planning to push Qin Zhen! Qin Zhen deserved to die. She stole all of Uncle¡¯s attention! Uncle was disappointed in Qin Zhen before, but now the disappointment has shifted to her! It was Qin Zhen who snatched the honor that should have belonged to her! She should be in first place! Qin Si wanted to kill her. Qin Zhen must die! However, just as she was about to touch the other girl, Qin Zhen casually stepped aside. Due to inertia, Qin Si fell straight down the stairs! ¡°AH!¡± Qin Si screamed. Qin Zhen did not even look at her and left without looking back. ¡­ -Qin Manor- Qin Zhen, her father, and her brother finished their celebratory meal. After she finished bathing comfortably, she couldn¡¯t wait to take out her phone and call He Guinian. The call went through very quickly. It seemed that every time she called him, he would not let her wait too long. ¡°Zhenzhen,¡± He Guinian¡¯s magnetic voice reached her ears. ¡°Brother Guinian!¡± Qin Zhen shouted happily with a smile in her voice, ¡°I finished my exams and the results are out today. And guess what?¡± He Guinian held his phone and smiled, ¡°What?¡± ¡°I got 746, I ranked first in the entire grade!¡± Qin Zhen excitedly shared her joy with He Guinian. Although she did predict her score and was not very surprised by the result, she wanted to share her happiness with He Guinian. ¡°My Zhenzhen is really amazing.¡± He Guinian wasn¡¯t surprised at all, as if it was normal for Qin Zhen to get close to full marks. Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but giggle. Being trusted wholeheartedly was a very nice feeling to have! He Guinian was the same as her father and brother. They trusted her unconditionally and she was so lucky to have them by her side. He Guinian waited for her laughter to die down before he slowly said, ¡°Zhenzhen, the doctor said that the surgery was successful.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Qin Zhen sat up abruptly. ¡°How are you feeling now? Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it sooner?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± He Guinian said with a smile. ¡°I was just afraid that you would be annoyed by the news, so I didn¡¯t tell you.¡± He had always wanted to call her. He was afraid that she would hate him like before and not pick up his calls. Qin Zhen suddenly felt a lump in her throat. He Guinian was so humble that she felt she didn¡¯t deserve to look this man in the eye if they were ever to meet again. ¡°If you want to call me, you can call me anytime. If you want to send me a text, you can send it anytime! I¡¯ll reply to you the moment I see it, okay? So you have to tell me everything.¡± After Qin Zhen¡¯s declaration, He Guinian didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Qin Zhen thought that the line had been cut off, so she called out again, ¡°Brother Guinian?¡± ¡°Zhenzhen¡­¡± He Guinian spoke again, ¡°I feel like I¡¯m dreaming,¡± A very deep sleep that he didn¡¯t wish to ever wake up from. ¡°Maybe we all are dreaming,¡± Qin Zhen replied with a soft smile. And maybe, in reality, she and He Guinian were burned to ashes. Maybe this was all a fantasy she made up before she truly died.

Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Hearing her sudden change in tone, He Guinian inexplicably felt a little anxious, as if Qin Zhen was going to leave him, ¡°Zhenzhen, I¡¯ll return tomorrow.¡± ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Qin Zhen was surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just have your surgery yesterday?¡± ¡°The doctor said it¡¯s okay,¡± He Guinian said with certainty. Qin Zhen did not believe him, ¡°Stop fooling around. How can you move after only one day of surgery? No matter what, you need to rest for a few days.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back in two days. The doctor really said it¡¯s fine. My condition isn¡¯t that serious. Is¡­ Is that okay? Can you¡­¡± He Guinian wanted to ask if she could pick him up. But he was afraid that she would be annoyed. ¡°In two days¡­ It¡¯s the weekend! Then I¡¯ll pick you up!¡± Qin Zhen said after some calculations. ¡°Send me your flight information!¡± ¡°Alright,¡± A smile appeared on He Guinian¡¯s face. The two of them chatted for a while more. Qin Zhen wanted to sleep, so He Guinian reluctantly hung up the phone. He Yi and the attending doctor almost suffocated to death from trying not to interrupt the call. The Young Master had finally finished the call! ¡°Young Master He, I never suggested that you can return to China in two days. Your leg hasn¡¯t recovered yet and your condition is very serious¡­¡± The attending doctor said with a frown. ¡°I know my own body.¡± Suddenly, He Guinian¡¯s temperament was completely different from before, his gentleness evaporated as if it wasn¡¯t there in the first place The attending doctor tried to persuade him again and again but failed. The only thing the doctor could do was to shut his mouth. -Two days later, at the exit- He Guinian sat in a wheelchair, holding the phone tightly in his hands. It had been five hours since he texted Qin Zhen that he boarded the plane, but Qin Zhen had not replied. Even when he arrived, Qin Zhen still hadn¡¯t appeared. Did she change her mind? Did she decide not to pick him up? He felt disappointed. His entire body was filled with a gloomy aura that could not be dispersed. He Yi and He Er were also anxious. They were scared that their fears would become a reality. They were mainly scared that the Young Master¡¯s illness would act up again. Why wasn¡¯t Qin Zhen here yet? At this moment, a notification sound suddenly went off. He Guinian quickly looked at his phone. It turned out to be He Yi¡¯s phone that rang. He Guinian¡¯s gaze was like a knife as he looked at his bodyguard. He Yi hurriedly picked up his phone to read the text. Whatever he saw made his eyes light up. He Yi and He Er made tacit eye contact. He Er immediately understood, ¡°Young Master, there are too many people here. Shall we wait outside? After all, this way, we could see Miss Qin the moment she arrived.¡± The last sentence was all it took to convince him. He Guinian was silent. However, from his point of view, He Er knew that he had agreed. He quickly pushed He Guinian out. It was very lively outside. There were people performing lion dances at the airport. It was so noisy that He Guinian wanted to ask He Er to push him to a quieter place. However, he suddenly saw a clumsy little red lion in the middle, trying hard to keep up with the rhythm. The covered head only revealed a pair of round eyes. However, He Guinian still recognized those eyes from anywhere. That was Qin Zhen! Her movements were too clumsy and cute. He Guinian watched her and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. Then, two of the Great Lions stood on one leg and spat out two banners from their mouths that said: ¡®Welcome back, He Guinian!¡¯ ¡®Love, Qin Zhen!¡¯ At this moment, Qin Zhen also took off her lion head and ran towards He Guinian. ¡°Surprise?¡± The dance was so tiring that she was covered in sweat, but her eyes looked as if they were sparkling. ¡°I¡¯m very surprised,¡± He Guinian nodded, his eyes couldn¡¯t stray away from her. The corners of He Yi and He Er¡¯s mouths twitched. Qin Zhen sent them a text, asking them to cooperate to give He Guinian a surprise. The result was¡­ A Lion Dance team¡­? The Young Master would like it, right? Was this what a young man should look like when he fell in love? ¡°Brother Guinian, is your leg really okay?¡± Qin Zhen was still a little worried. He Guinian came back in such a hurry, she was afraid that there would be any side complications. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the doctor said it¡¯s fine.¡± However, as soon as He Guinian said that, Qin Zhen replied unhappily, ¡°You¡¯re still lying to me? Why didn¡¯t you tell me that the doctor suggested that you should rest for at least half a month?¡± In an instant, he felt a chill on his neck. ¡°However, I also know that you can force yourself to come back. No one can persuade you. But I¡¯ll keep an eye on you every day to apply the medicine and do a follow-up check!¡± Qin Zhen muttered. ¡°Alright,¡± He Guinian couldn¡¯t ask for more. Qin Zhen took the initiative to push the wheelchair and smiled. ¡°You must be hungry. Let¡¯s go eat first!¡± He Guinian naturally had no objections. -Jianghai Hotel- The identity of the owner of this hotel was a mystery. No one knew who it was, which displays the power the other party has. Those who wanted to eat, no matter how powerful they were, all had to make an appointment first. As soon as they arrived, the manager nodded and bowed to He Guinian, trying to please him. ¡°Mr. He, you¡¯re here? I apologize. I didn¡¯t even prepare your table in advance. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°It was a last-minute decision. Same old,¡± He Guinian lightly said. The manager brought He Guinian to a private room and asked respectfully, ¡°Do you wish to order the same dishes?¡± ¡°Bring some spicy Sichuan dishes and some desserts that are popular among the girls,¡± He Guinian ordered. When Qin Zhen heard this, she stared at him. She didn¡¯t like spicy food, and He Guinian liked light food. She still remembered this information from her previous life. She wanted to get rid of He Guinian back then, so she forced him to eat a whole plate of spicy fried chicken. He was immediately admitted to the hospital after that. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen¡¯s heart ached. She hurriedly said, ¡°Give me some Jiangnan dishes. Something light, no coriander.¡± Hearing this, He Guinian looked at Qin Zhen in surprise. Does she know what food he likes to eat? The manager looked at Qin Zhen with suspicion. Mr. He had never had a woman by his side¡­ However, he could tell that Mr. He has some special feelings towards this girl. So¡­ Does Mr. He like her? Seeing that He Guinian didn¡¯t say anything to refute, the manager knew that he had agreed, so he took the orders to the kitchen. Soon, the dishes were served. Qin Zhen placed the spicy dishes on her side and the lighter ones on He Guinian¡¯s side. He Yi and He Er frowned. They were afraid that Qin Zhen would poison He Guinian. After all, it was strange for her to treat their Young Master so well all of a sudden. In the past, this girl would always deliberately pick spicy food, causing their Young Master to suffer from stomach bleeding that sent him to the hospital. Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but take a glance at He Guinian. He had been staring at his food in a daze. What was going on? Did she remember wrongly? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. He Guinian¡¯s body couldn¡¯t consume strong-tasting food in the first place¡­ He Guinian¡¯s heart was beating very fast. He still remembered his experience of waking up after a long time in the hospital. Qin Zhen must have remembered that incident too. She cared a lot about him, didn¡¯t she? Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, a small, soft hand suddenly appeared before him. ¡°Have a taste! I¡¯ve tried it before. The Jiangnan dishes here are great!¡± Qin Zhen picked up a piece and looked at him hopefully. He Guinian looked at the bamboo shoots she picked up and ate them all, ¡°It tastes good.¡± Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but giggle. She supported her head with one hand and tilted her head to look at him. For a moment, it was a nice atmosphere. ¡°By the way, do you still have the sachet I gave you?¡± Qin Zhen suddenly asked. ¡°Yes,¡± He Guinian nodded. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Qin Zhen asked. ¡°It¡¯s good for sleeping,¡± He Guinian had been suffering from insomnia for some reason. When he went to treat his leg, he didn¡¯t feel sleepy. However, the sachet had calmed him down and he slept longer than before. ¡°That¡¯s good. Give it to me. I can make another one for you. I was in a hurry last time and some parts were not done well. The effect will be better this time. I¡¯ll give it to you the next time we meet.¡± The effect of Qin Zhen¡¯s new brew would definitely be better. He Guinian didn¡¯t say anything and continued eating. He would always keep the things that Qin Zhen gave him. Just then, a man pushed open the private room door and said loudly, ¡°He Guinian, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were coming? Are you looking down on me?¡± When Qin Zhen saw who it was, her eyebrows were slightly raised. Wu Ze. He Guinian¡¯s best friend. In her previous life, she did not like He Guinian and treated him badly. As a good friend, Wu Ze naturally hated her. Could he be the owner of this restaurant? He could be. She had never heard of Wu Ze¡¯s background. Meanwhile, Wu Ze was also sizing Qin Zhen up. He heard from the manager that He Guinian brought a cold young beauty with him, but he still didn¡¯t believe it. That friend of his seemed to be blinded by his feelings. He loved that psychopath to death, yet brought another girl with him to dine? But when he saw them with his own two eyes, it was actually true! Wu Ze watched He Gunian as he patiently cut the fish and placed them on the young lady¡¯s plate. Oh, they were about to feed each other! He strode over and sat down, his eyes filled with excitement. He Guinian finally thought it through and got rid of that psycho! ¡°Hello, Miss! You¡¯re so beautiful!¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Qin Zhen nodded. Hearing her voice, Wu Ze froze in his chair. That voice¡­ Why did it sound like that psycho¡¯s¡­? However, the next second he felt that something was amiss, it completely disappeared when he watched how different this young lady was. The person in front of him had smooth skin that looked as though a single blow of wind could mar her. She was not someone that that punk could compare to. ¡°So you do have taste in younger women! Are you of age, Miss?¡± He teased He Guinian and Qin Zhen. Wu Ze winked at him and said, ¡°Have you thought it through? I¡¯ve already said it before, how could that psychopath be worthy of you? Look at how good this young lady is for you. A handsome man and a beautiful woman. Just looking at you two makes me feel happy!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation He Guinian¡¯s glare was cold as ice. Wu Ze did not mind at all as he leaned sloppily back into his chair. ¡°Psychopath?¡± The corners of Qin Zhen¡¯s mouth twitched. Thinking back to her past self, his description of her seemed to be¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it, Miss. That person can¡¯t compare to you,¡± Wu Ze said flirtatiously. He Guinian¡¯s eyes were filled with warning, as though the man would get up and kill his friend if he utter another word. However, Wu Ze did not seem concerned at all. He smiled cheekily at Qin Zhen and said, ¡°I¡¯m Wu Ze, what¡¯s your name?¡± Qin Zhen sat up straight. She gave Wu Ze an extremely sweet smile as she said, ¡°My name is Qin Zhen.¡± ¡°What?¡± Wu Ze said and almost fell off his chair. He stared at Qin Zhen, ¡°The same Qin Zhen I know of? The same Qin Zhen from the Qin family? Whose company is currently managed by Qin Youting?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± She smiled brightly. There was a long awkward pause, before Wu Ze finally said, ¡°Did you get plastic surgery?¡± Qin Zhen snorted and looked at him with disdain, ¡°You¡¯re the one who had plastic surgery. This is how I used to look before all that makeup.¡± ¡°From your shameless tone, you are Qin Zhen!¡± Wu Ze answered earnestly. ¡°So, you didn¡¯t run away.¡± Qin Zhen ignored him and ate the pepper fish head that He Guinian had cut for her. Then, she also picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and put it in He Guinian¡¯s bowl. The two of them ate lovingly, giving Wu Ze goosebumps all over. Did this woman take the wrong medicine today? Or was this the calm before the storm? An act for some hideous intention? After dinner, Qin Zhen went to the bathroom. Wu Ze leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs. He looked at his friend and said, ¡°Guinian, shouldn¡¯t there be a limit to self-deception?¡± He Guinian carefully wiped his hands clean. His every move was full of nobility, ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°This time, your legs got the short end of the stick,¡± Wu Ze¡¯s tone carried a hint of mockery. ¡°Next time, what would it be? Your hand? Your head? Should I burn some paper for your funeral?¡± He Guinian looked at him unhappily. Wu Ze shrugged, ¡°Your choice. But if what happened last time happens again, you won¡¯t be able to hold me back. I will not let her off the hook so easily!¡± He was smiling, but his eyes were full of seriousness. When He Guinian broke his leg, he already had the intention to kill that girl. It was He Guinian who protected her from the fall¡­ If it weren¡¯t for He Guinian, Qin Zhen would have died countless times! ¡°Don¡¯t you dare hurt her,¡± He Guinian knew that Wu Ze cared for him, but no one was allowed to hurt Qin Zhen. Wu Ze did not say anything else but did not continue the topic. He Guinian then changed the subject, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been looking for the Grim Reaper recently? How is it going?¡± Wu Ze was annoyed at the mention of this, ¡°That guy has been gone for more than two years, and out of nowhere, decided to return recently. I¡¯ve been sending requests to the Dark Night Guild, but the Grim Reaper hasn¡¯t replied even once. Well, I have no choice. Who asked him to be so capable in what he does anyway?¡± The Dark Night Guild was a platform that gathered top figures from all walks of life. No one knew who established it. The only thing people knew about was if you were looking for some talented people to do some work, this was the place where you could find them. As for the Grim Reaper, he was the most powerful, elusive hacker on that website. When Wu Ze heard that the Grim Reaper had reappeared recently, he immediately tried to contact them. However, it had been half a month and he had not received a reply. ¡°But the Grim Reaper seemed to have some humor. I spent 300 million to ask him what he had been doing recently, and he replied that he was preparing for the college entrance examination! Do you think this person is playing with me?¡± Qin Zhen, who was about to enter the private room, happened to overhear their conversation, was silent ¡°Well, let¡¯s go back.¡± She coughed lightly and said. He Guinian nodded. ¡­ In order to welcome He Guinian, she had practiced the Lion Dance these past few days. On the way back, Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but fall asleep on He Guinian¡¯s shoulder. He Guinian asked He Yi to drive slowly and steadily. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the person on his shoulder. The girl¡¯s sleeping face was sweet, and her red lips were slightly open. She was very cute. Wu Ze said that he was deceiving himself. Perhaps he was, but as long as she was here, it was enough for him. He maintained the same posture all the way to the Qin family¡¯s house. Qin Zhen was still asleep, and He Guinian didn¡¯t wake her up. Half an hour later, Qin Zhen looked out of the window in a daze and muttered, ¡°We¡¯re here?¡± He Guinian nodded. Qin Zhen rubbed her eyes and suddenly saw the wet spot on his shoulder. She was stunned for a moment. No way it rained inside the car. But if it wasn¡¯t, then¨C! Instantly, her face flushed red. ¡°It¡¯s getting late,¡± He Guinian said gently, ¡°You should get in and rest.¡± ¡°You should go back and rest as well,¡± Qin Zhen said as she quickly stepped out of the car. Just as she was about to close the door, she stopped and leaned against the window. She met He Guinian¡¯s puzzled gaze and kissed him on the lips.

Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Looking at He Guinian¡¯s stunned and incredulous face, Qin Zhen secretly laughed to herself, ¡°Good night, Mr. He.¡± With that, she ran away. He Guinian raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks. His heart was also beating violently against his ribcage. Zhenzhen¡­ She kissed him. She kissed him on his lips. He Guinian was a little regretful. He was too stunned to move. This was the first time Zhenzhen had kissed his lips. Meanwhile, Qin Zhen happily entered her home. Qin Youting happened to be on his way to get some water when he saw her skipping in, ¡°Where did you go?¡± He asked. ¡°I was on a date!¡± Qin Zhen smiled. Qin Youting looked confused. It seemed¡­ Someone was spoiling his sister. ¡­ Qin Zhen returned to her room to take a shower and turned on her computer. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, and the computer screen instantly turned black. A notification flashed on the top right corner of the monitor. It was a video call invitation from someone. Qin Zhen agreed. ¡°You¡¯re finally online! The people who have been looking for you recently have annoyed me to death! What do you have to say for yourself?¡± A woman said resentfully. She wearing a cheongsam and was visibly lighting a cigarette near her charming face. Qin Zhen wiped her hair and casually answered, ¡°I just finished my exams and don¡¯t have time. Tell them to wait a little longer.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I told them. I said that you wanted to take the college entrance examination, but they said that I was a liar! He actually doubted the Dark Night¡¯s credibility.¡± The woman looked at Qin Zhen¡¯s tender face on the screen and said enviously, ¡°But it¡¯s not their fault. After all, who would have thought that the famous Grim Reaper was actually a high school girl? I¡¯m so lucky to have met you just like that.¡± ¡°Sister Luyao, don¡¯t tease me.¡± Qin Zhen smiled. Luyao put down her cigarette and said with a serious expression, ¡°Seriously, why don¡¯t you take a job to brush up on your skill? I¡¯ve looked at a few of them. They¡¯re all good in all aspects.¡± ¡°Not interested. I¡¯m too busy right now.¡± Qin Zhen waved her hand. ¡°We¡¯re not taking orders anymore, and we¡¯ve stopped making incense too. What are you busy with anyway? Don¡¯t say it¡¯s the college entrance exam. You can fool others, but you can¡¯t fool me.¡± Luyao said. Qin Zhen leaned against the back of her chair and said casually, ¡°I¡¯m busy dating and coaxing my boyfriend. He gets anxious when he leaves me for a minute.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Luyao didn¡¯t know what to say to that. Qin Zhen was suddenly reminded of what Wu Ze had said at the restaurant. ¡°Is there someone named Wu Ze among the people who ask for me?¡± ¡°The third young master of the Wu family?¡± Luyao asked. Wu Ze¡¯s background was not considered ¡°average¡±, she knew this in her previous life. But the only the public know about him was his job as a jewelry maker. ¡°He did make a request. Why? You know him?¡± Luyao continued. Qin Zhen dried her hair and smiled evilly, ¡°Answer him, 1 billion. If he pays, I¡¯ll help him.¡± ¡°Did he offend you?¡± Luyao immediately understood. Usually, hiring Qin Zhen would only cost 200 million yuan, but she asked to up the price for this particular client. ¡°You could say that,¡± Qin Zhen said with raised eyebrows. -Monday- Qin Zhen came to class with her bag. As soon as she stepped in, the noisy class instantly quieted down. Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions. The trash in their eyes had suddenly become the first in the grade. It was like a dream! Du Juan looked at Qin Zhen with eyes full of jealousy and hatred. Qin Zhen sat down calmly as if she did not see anything around her. The first class was English and Baihe walked in expressionlessly. The older woman glanced at Qin Zhen before looking away, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the papers from the last exam first. Everyone, take out your papers¡­ The single-choice questions were all free points. You all could answer those quickly and not waste any time. If you don¡¯t read, don¡¯t speak. If you don¡¯t understand, look it up yourself! There¡¯s nothing to say¡­¡± The people of Class 28 flipped through the papers numbly. It was the same every time. Even Du Juan couldn¡¯t help but frown. Many of the questions on the exam were beyond the course outline. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have scored so low. There were many grammar questions that she didn¡¯t understand. Baihe told them that this was basic knowledge but never explained any of this to them¡­ A few students couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I really don¡¯t understand the grammar questions.¡± As if on cue, Baihe¡¯s expression turned even uglier. She immediately explained, but she spoke very quickly and briefly for anybody to understand. She asked the student if he understood. The student, eyes wide and lost, could only nod blankly. Baihe closed the paper, ¡°Now, please re-explained it to me again,¡± The student stuttered, but couldn¡¯t answer her. Then, Baihe pointed at a few more students, but nobody could explain. Baihe immediately cursed, ¡°Were you listening to me in class?! We¡¯ve been through this topic over and over, haven¡¯t we? Is your brain made of glue? You all will have to rewrite this paper a hundred times until something stick in your brain. Now, go stand outside!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The students who couldn¡¯t answer were crying from her shouts. Their eyes were red and they ran out to stand with embarrassed faces. In the second half of the class, Baihe kept taking the opportunity to belittle the people of Class 28. All kinds of unpleasant words were spewed out one after another. ¡°I¡¯m giving a lecture but what are you doing?! You don¡¯t know how to do it but none of you are listening carefully. I have explained it over and over again, yet none of you gets it. What is the use of having a brain when none of you know how to use it? All of you are at the bottom. Why? Do you think you can be like those who become the first in the grade by reading a few pages? If you don¡¯t have the ability, then pay attention in class. Don¡¯t ignore what I say. You don¡¯t know how to do it, but you¡¯re still complaining that I didn¡¯t teach it well. I¡¯ve never met such stupid kids like you in my life¡­¡± Qin Zhen pressed the cap of her pen in frustration. She was sure that after Beihe made a fool of herself, she was indignant and crazily took revenge on Class 28. ¡­ After class in the afternoon, Qin Zhen packed her things and prepared to go home. However, she was blocked by a group of people just as she left the school gate. Judging by their attire, they were some sort of street gang. Qin Zhen did not recognize them, but she recognized that the person standing beside them was Zhu Qiang, the person she had beaten up in the cafeteria. ¡°It¡¯s this b*tch. Brother Bull, you have to help me!¡± Zhu Qiang gritted his teeth, eyes glaring at Qin Zhen. Last time, she made him lose face in front of so many people. This time, he would teach her a lesson. Qin Zhen understood. This was revenge. The man called Brother Bull was burly and had a scary tattoo on his bare arm. His gaze fell on Qin Zhen¡¯s face and then on her body. ¡°Did you hit my brother?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Qin Zhen raised an eyebrow. Brother Bull looked at Qin Zhen unscrupulously and licked his lips, ¡°I have a soft spot for the fairer sex. On account of your good looks, I¡¯ll give you a chance. Bow and apologize to my brother, then come with me to a hotel to have some fun. In the future, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± ¡°What if I say that I don¡¯t agree?¡± Qin Zhen leaned against the wall, the corners of her lips slightly raised. ¡­ ¡°The person being surrounded over there looks like Qin Zhen! What¡¯s going on?¡± Jia Qing and the others were chatting and laughing as they walked. Their school uniforms were hanging on their shoulders, and they were chewing on popsicles. Hearing this, Jia Qing leaned back and squinted. It really was Qin Zhen. She was leaning against the wall with one leg slightly bent, looking arrogant. ¡°How did she offend Fierce Bull? That person is a bastard. Are we going to do anything about it?¡± Jia Qing was a little hesitant. Brother Bull, or ¡°Fierce Bull¡±, was a famous gangster around the area and didn¡¯t care about the rules, but Qin Zhen was still his classmate. He couldn¡¯t pretend that he didn¡¯t see anything, right? ¡°Don¡¯t be so shameless!¡± Fierce Bull narrowed his cold eyes. No woman had ever dared to talk to him like that. This made his patience, which he had given because of the girl¡¯s good looks, disappear. Now, he wished that he could press this girl to the ground to extinguish his anger! Qin Zhen was also annoyed. She cracked her neck and prepared to fight. However, right at that moment, a group of people suddenly rushed over. ¡°Brother Bull, why are you here? Long time no see! Let me treat you to a drink,¡± Jia Qing said with a smile as he and his group walked over. Fierce Bull and the others often went to his parent¡¯s noodle shop to eat, so they knew each other. But every time Fierce Bull ate, he never paid. Qin Zhen¡¯s classmates stood in front of her and smiled apologetically. Fierce Bull glanced at him and said impatiently, ¡°This is none of your business. Get lost!¡± ¡°Brother Bull, this girl is from our class. How did she offend you? We apologize to you in her stead,¡± Jia Qing chuckled. ¡°Did you think I f*cking care? Hurry up and get lost!¡± ¡°Brother Bull, give me some face. I¡¯ll buy all of your drinks today,¡± Jia Qing chuckled. However, his words were useless in the face of an angry gang leader, ¡°Who do you think you are? Do you have any f*cking brain? I¡¯ll say it again. If you don¡¯t want to be beaten up, get lost.¡± Jia Qing¡¯s expression also sank, and he was somewhat solemn. No matter how much they want to help, they were still students. Their power couldn¡¯t compare to these people. Their words were useless against people like them. Jia Qing and his small group¡¯s faces turned dark. However, if they left Qin Zhen behind, that wouldn¡¯t do. That was not something a man would do. Jia Qing gave Xie Liang, his friend, a look. Xie Liang lowered his voice and said to Qin Zhen, ¡°We¡¯ll stop them. Find an opportunity to run. Don¡¯t look back! Then quickly call the police!¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes widened. She didn¡¯t expect that this group of people would be so loyal. They knew she would be beaten up, yet they still came to save her. Moreover, they were never close to each other before¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Fierce Bull looked at the boys in school uniforms as if he was watching a comedy show, ¡°Brothers! Look, a bunch of little trash who hasn¡¯t even grown their hair yet. They still want to be heroes and save the damsel in distress!¡± And without further prompting, Fierce Bull punched Jia Qing¡¯s lower stomach! The ring with a pointed gear smashed Jia Qing, causing him to let out a painful groan. Xie Liang and the others¡¯ expressions drastically changed. They cursed angrily and rushed over to help. Fierce Bull was really despicable. He just straight-up started while they were still distracted! But this way, no one cared about Qin Zhen, and no one noticed whether Qin Zhen would leave or not. Qin Zhen moved her hand into her pocket. Seeing Jia Qing and the others getting beaten up, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Jia Qing and the others didn¡¯t dare to provoke Fierce Bull too much. After all, he, Xie Liang, and the others were still students. Fierce Bull and the others were people who didn¡¯t care about their lives. If things got too out of hand, these people wouldn¡¯t hesitate to stab them with knives. Therefore, they didn¡¯t fight back and only protected their important vitals. However, when he turned around, he realized that Qin Zhen was still standing there in a daze. Why was she still there? Was she scared silly? No way! Wasn¡¯t she standing arrogantly just a few moments ago? At this moment, Fierce Bull jumped into the air and spun around to kick¡ª aiming right at Jia Qing¡¯s face! Jia Qing staggered back a few steps, subconsciously holding his head and closing his eyes in resignation. However, the pain he was anticipating did not come. Instead, he heard a scream. He opened his eyes and saw Fierce Bull lying on the ground, clutching the left side of his waist with a pained expression. In front of him was Qin Zhen, who had just retracted her leg. Jia Qing felt as if he was seeing things. Just as the punk was about to punch Xie Liang¡¯s head, Qin Zhen flew over and kicked the punk¡¯s back. The punk screamed and fell to the ground with his face down. Then, in less than half a minute, Fierce Bull and his gang fell to the ground. ¡°Do you still want me to accompany you? Which hotel do you want to go? I think a trip to the hospital is a better option, hm?¡± Qin Zhen stepped on Fierce Bull¡¯s shoulder with a casual smile on her lips. Fierce Bull almost vomited blood. His shoulder¡­ She had shattered his shoulder! Why was this woman so strong? Was she even a normal person? Qin Zhen¡¯s martial arts were taught by He Guinian, and Qin Jin had also found a master to teach her. So in this aspect, she had mastered the art very well in her previous life. It was not difficult for her to deal with a few gang members. She didn¡¯t know if it was her imagination, but after her rebirth, she was much stronger than before. Zhu Qiang, who witnessed Qin Zhen beating up a bunch of grown men, was completely stunned! He carefully moved toward the alley entrance and was about to run when Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes were locked on him, ¡°Where are you going in a hurry to go?¡± ¡°I¡­ My mother asked me to go home for dinner¡­ I- I was wrong!¡± Zhu Qiang cried. Who knew that Qin Zhen was so strong? He even heard Fierce Bull and his gang¡¯s bones cracking. Everyone in the area knew that Fierce Bull was as strong as a bull. ¡°Just because you said you were wrong, you think I¡¯m just going to let it go?¡± Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows. Zhu Qiang was so scared that his legs went weak. He didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°Come here.¡± Qin Zhen waved her hand. Zhu Qiang didn¡¯t dare to go over, but he was too afraid to disobey. He instinctively went over to Qin Zhen. When he was about one meter away from her, Qin Zhen kicked him in the mouth! The strength this time was far from what she had used in the cafeteria. At that time, Zhu Qiang felt pain, but now he couldn¡¯t even cry out in pain. He knelt on the ground, covering his mouth, twitching helplessly. Qin Zhen withdrew her foot indifferently. That kick was for today and also for the embarrassment Zhu Qiang had given her in her previous life. Jia Qing and the others looked at the calm Qin Zhen and did not return to their senses for a long time. Just then, they heard sirens from afar. Jia Qing¡¯s expression changed. ¡°.. It¡¯s me.¡± A boy, who came with Jia Qing, said. He raised his trembling hand. He had called the police because he thought that they would definitely be beaten up to death and was afraid of being killed. Who knew that things would turn out like this? When the police came over and saw the people lying on the ground, the case was determined. Group fight. He took everyone away. ¡­ ¡°Officer, believe me, it¡¯s her! That woman! She hit us! We were beaten up! We did not gang up on them¡­¡± ¡°Yes! Officer, she¡¯s the one who beat us up! We are the victims¡­¡± In the police station, Fierce Bull and the others pointed at Qin Zhen as they complained in pain. Qin Zhen only smiled. Instantly, their hearts trembled. Listening to their story, the police officer frowned and finally said impatiently, ¡°Fierce Bull, do you think I don¡¯t know you? How many times had you come here this month because of a fight? Don¡¯t you know how ridiculous it sounds to hear that a little girl beat you up?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As the police officer spoke, he glanced at Qin Zhen, who was leaning against the wall. At first glance, he could tell that she was different from these punks and those sloppy bad students. She was dressed in a neat school uniform and looked like an ordinary and obedient girl. Fierce Bull was mad. This was the first time he couldn¡¯t get himself out of the mess he made. If he had known earlier, he would not have destroyed the surveillance cameras! But now, nobody believed them. Did they get beaten up for nothing? ¡°Officer, we are telling the truth! That woman really beat us up!¡± Fierce Bull defended himself weakly. The police officer was annoyed. He looked at Qin Zhen and said in a gentler tone, ¡°Is that true?¡± ¡°Officer, look at me. Do I look like someone who can beat them up like that?¡± Qin Zhen said as she raised her delicate arms. Jia Qing and his group secretly nodded. ¡®You¡¯re so capable.¡¯ They compliment. Of course, they didn¡¯t say this out loud. According to the countless cases of provocation and trouble caused by Fierce Bull and his group in the past, the police believed the gang had bullied the students, but got beaten up by them instead. ¡°You¡¯re all third-year students. You all have to focus on your studies.¡± The police officer tried his best to lecture them, ¡°We¡¯ve already understood the situation, but you need to find a bail holder to sign the form before you can leave.¡± Jia Qing and the others had bitter expressions on their faces. If they called their parents over, they knew what would await them once they got home. The first person Qin Zhen thought of was Qin Youting. So, she called her brother. ¡°Zhenzhen?¡± The call quickly connected, and Qin Youting¡¯s gentle voice reached her ears. Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t help but feel a little embarrassed, ¡°Brother¡­¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Youting¡¯s hand that was flipping through the documents paused. He could hear that something was wrong with her tone made his heart instantly gripped with worry. Since she could not avoid the situation, Qin Zhen told her brother the situation and Qin Youting rushed to the police station as soon as he could. After hanging up, Qin Zhen was about to put her phone away when her phone rang again. ¡®Is today the new year?¡¯ Qin Zhen was shocked. Why would He Guinian call her now of all time?! However, she still pressed the answer button. He Guinian¡¯s deep and anxious voice traveled from the phone to her ear, ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°I¡­ At school¡­¡± Qin Zhen felt guilty. She didn¡¯t want He Guinian to know that she was at the police station. After all, nothing had happened, so she didn¡¯t want him to worry. Of course, she didn¡¯t say that she was at the police station near the school. ¡°Why are you at the police station?¡± He Guinian became more and more anxious. Qin Zhen was speechless. ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°Qin Zhen, I asked you first. Why are you at the police station? What happened? Are you injured?¡± He Guinian¡¯s voice was trembling. Qin Zhen sighed and confessed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry¨C¡± ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll be there soon,¡± After saying that, He Guinian hung up the phone without giving Qin Zhen a chance to speak. Qin Zhen looked at the black screen of her phone and felt a little helpless. Seeing that she was in low spirits, the supervisor wanted to comfort her, afraid that she would be traumatized by this incident. However, before he could say anything, a call came. He glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered the call. ¡°Chief? What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Did you catch a girl named Qin Zhen today?¡± The supervisor found it strange that the chief cared about such a small matter. Moreover, how did he know that Qin Zhen was there? ¡°Yes, why¡ª¡± ¡°Is she alright?¡± The chief¡¯s heart was in his throat. Qin Youting doted on his sister a lot. If Qin Zhen was in trouble at his police station, that brother of hers might tear the police station down. No matter how slow-witted the supervisor was, he could not help but look up at Qin Zhen. It seemed that this little girl had quite a background. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chief. She¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Be careful. Don¡¯t let anything happen to her.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± The supervisor had just hung up when he received another call. He took note of the number. The headquarters? He quickly answered, ¡°Yes¡ª¡± ¡°Wang, did you catch someone by the name Qin Zhen today?¡± The supervisor¡¯s heart sank, ¡°It¡¯s not catching per se and the situation had been cleared. It¡¯s just a matter of¨C¡± ¡°I¡¯m just calling about her. Since you¡¯ve understood her situation clearly, let that girl go!¡± Remembering how that man had referred to Qin Zhen as his lover, the headquarters administrator quickly added in panic, ¡°Remember, calm her down. Don¡¯t let her make a scene¡­¡± After hanging up the phone, the supervisor couldn¡¯t help but stare at Qin Zhen in shock. Who was this girl that made two big shots move together? At this moment, Qin Youting rushed over, tensed and travel-worn. His body only relaxed when he saw that Qin Zhen was fine. His head was covered with sweat, and his tidy clothes were in a mess. He ran like a madman, afraid that something had happened to Qin Zhen. After Qin Youting signed the papers, the supervisor let Qin Zhen and the other students leave.

Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Qin Zhen, we¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± Jia Qing said dryly. ¡°Okay, see you tomorrow,¡± Qin Zhen nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her exquisite face. The group of young men blushed and hurriedly left. Seriously, he wanted to save a girl, but in the end, he was saved by the girl. He was really not a man¡­ Qin Zhen saw He Yi the moment she stepped out of the police station. ¡°Miss Qin, the Young Master is waiting for you in the car.¡± Qin Zhen looked at the car parked on the opposite side of the road and felt a little guilty. He Guinian was here too, and so soon? ¡°Go,¡± Qin Youting said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t throw a tantrum. I have to go to the traffic police anyway.¡± ¡°Why are you going to the traffic police?¡± Qin Zhen was puzzled. ¡°To pay a ticket,¡± Qin Youting rubbed his nose awkwardly, which was a rare expression on his face. He probably drove through a red light to come and bail her¡­. Qin Zhen was touched and a little amused. She watched Qin Youting¡¯s back as he walked away before heading to the car. Upon opening the backseat door, she was immediately met with a flirty gaze from the man who owed money to her, Wu Ze. Wu Ze sat beside He Guinian. When he saw that she was perfectly fine, he clicked his tongue in dismay. He could not hide the disappointment on his face. He was just short of crying out, ¡°What a pity,¡± He was with He Guinian when he made the call. He thought that she was seriously injured, so he came over to watch the show. He even thought about buying some chrysanthemums to add to the drama. He Guinian glared at his friend and said, ¡°Go away.¡± Wu Ze slowly moved to the front seat. Qin Zhen climbed into the backseat and carefully assessed He Guinian¡¯s expression. She knew that he was angry, so she decided to act pitifully. She poked his arm and said in a sad tone, ¡°He Guinian, my hand hurts¡­¡± He Guinian glanced at her, but his heart softened and he held her hand. ¡°If you ever find yourself in the same predicament in the future, stall for time and call me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Those people won¡¯t be able to hurt me,¡± Qin Zhen said, letting him hold his hand before she remembered something. She quickly took out a brand-new sachet from her pocket. ¡°This is a new one for you. Take it. If you like the previous one, you can keep that too.¡± A faint fragrance of Chinese incense wafted out, making him feel relaxed and happy. He Yi and Wu Ze could not help but look over. ¡°He Guinian, you¡¯re a grown man. Why do you still use a sachet, huh? That motherf*cker,¡± Wu Ze complained. ¡°Young Master Wu Ze, Miss Qin had made the sachet to help the Young Master sleep.¡± He Yi said, interrupting his rants, ¡°Believe it or not, ever since the Young Master used it, his sleep quality has improved. Even just carrying them around has some good effect on the Young Master. Good for sleep too,¡± Wu Ze did not believe it. No way. He Yi must have exaggerated its effect. Those medicinal herbs could probably help people sleep slightly longer, at most. These people were just too fond of Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen seemed to know that He Yi secretly wanted one too, so she said, ¡°I¡¯ll make one for you when I¡¯m free.¡± ¡°Thank you, Miss Qin!¡± ¡°Give me one too,¡± Wu Ze added. Although he didn¡¯t want it, he didn¡¯t want to be left out! Qin Zhen glanced at him, ¡°Pay me,¡± ¡°How much?¡± Wu Ze said, amused. ¡°200 million.¡± ¡°¡­ Did your family go bankrupt or something? 200 million for a lousy sachet?¡± Was it as good as the brew made by the Witch Doctor? Did she learn how to scam from the people in Dark Night? Wu Ze¡¯s heart ached at the thought of the money he paid for that hacker. ¡­ The next day, Qin Zhen came to class as usual. As soon as she entered, Jia Qing and his small group could not help but observe her. Qin Zhen was dressed neatly in her school uniform. Her appearance didn¡¯t give away any indication of someone who could kill people in the back alley. As soon as Qin Zhen sat down, Baihe walked in. Coincidentally, the first class for the last two consecutive days was English. The moment the teacher¡¯s eyes landed on Qin Zhen, a hint of disgust bubbled in her eyes. ¡°Today, we will review the grammar points from Unit 2¡­¡± Baihe briefly explained all the theories and swiftly began quizzing them. A few minutes later, she made the students stand up to answer her questions. If anyone got them wrong, she would start berating them. She would sarcastically comment how they would never catch up to someone far more intelligent than them¡­ As a teacher, isolating a student without being accused of doing it was an easy task. Qin Zhen had caused her to lose so much face. How could she let Qin Zhen off so easily? Be it boys or girls, Baihe scolded them all. Qin Zhen leaned against the back of her chair. Her cold expression only got icier by the minute. She was getting frustrated by the whole ordeal. She stood up and said, ¡°Excuse me, Ms. Baihe. If one person doesn¡¯t know how to solve a question, the problem might lie with that person. However, if a group of students doesn¡¯t understand, then shouldn¡¯t the problem lie with you?¡± Baihe had been holding back her anger all this while. Seeing that Qin Zhen was the one who spoke up, she finally exploded. ¡°Since you said my teaching is so bad, maybe you should teach me.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Without hesitation, Qin Zhen walked up to the podium. She took a piece of chalk and started writing on the blackboard. When she was young, Qin Jin found many top teachers to teach her. Compared to them, Baihe was far behind. Qin Zhen naturally adopted some of their teaching methods. She never had a bad grade in the past. But what made her grades fall was mostly because she did not put much importance on studying. The main reason she even ranked first in her grade was because she had a solid understanding of the subjects she had learned. She had never wasted her time as most people had assumed. As for the students of Class 28, although they were not interested in listening to English class at the beginning, Qin Zhen strangely drew them in. Qin Zhen¡¯s way of teaching was full of emotion. All the obscure theories in the past seemed to have been cleared up in that instance. After all, once the knowledge was imprinted in her mind, it would never leave her brain. Even Jia Qing and the others who hadn¡¯t been listening for long were paying attention with great interest. Baihe had been watching the show from the beginning, and her expression turned ugly once more. ¡°Does everyone understand?¡± She asked. When someone pulled up their hand, pointing at the parts they didn¡¯t understand, she would patiently rephrase her words. There was no arrogance or disdain in her tone, which made them feel as if they were asking a very normal question. The students of Class 28 were gradually moved. Although Qin Zhen was a strange student in the past, she never did anything bad to them. After all, Qin Zhen didn¡¯t talk to anyone. Instead, they often laughed at her. Even now, Qin Zhen was more patient with them than Baihe was regardless of past grudges¡­Thinking about it, they all realized they have acted out of line. After Qin Zhen finished her lecture, she put down the chalk and tilted her head to look at Baihe. Baihe had her signature ugly expression on her face. Fortunately, the bell rang. The older woman did not say anything and left the class with her books. Then a short-haired girl timidly approached Qin Zhen and placed the paper on her desk, ¡°Qin Zhen¡­ I don¡¯t quite understand this question¡­ Can you explain it to me?¡± Qin Zhen looked at the paper and taught her patiently. Her explanation was much simpler than what many teachers had explained. The short-haired girl, Ji Yueyue, thoughts gradually became clear. ¡°Do you understand this now?¡± When Qin Zhen looked up from the paper, she realized that a group of people were surrounding her. Ji Yueyue nodded shyly and said, ¡°Your explanation is really easy to understand!¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome,¡± Qin Zhen smiled. Seeing how easy she was to talk to, the others felt braver to approach her with their problems. While Class 28 was known as the worst class, it was only true when people compared them to Class 01. They have their differences, but most of their results were still not bad. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get into this high school in the first place. It was rare for the top student in each class to be willing to help them. Naturally, they benefited a lot from having her in their class. Du Juan usually had good results, but she never cared about anybody else. She obviously didn¡¯t want them to surpass her, so she didn¡¯t want to help other students. However, Qin Zhen was different. She was patient and wasn¡¯t worried about anyone surpassing her. Moreover, the solution she gave was simple and fast, which helped them see the questions from a different perspective. Of course, with Qin Zhen¡¯s abilities, it would be difficult for any of them to surpass her. Du Juan couldn¡¯t help but turn her head to watch her. Seeing how everyone enthusiastically surrounded Qin Zhen with their questions, the corners of her mouth gradually turned down, and the pen in her hand almost broke from her tight grip. It was not until the next teacher arrived that the students returned to their seats. When school was over, Jia Qing was about to get up when he felt someone poke him in the back. He turned around and saw Qin Zhen holding a bag of things. He was about to ask, but before he could, she stuffed the bag into his hands. He was stunned for a moment before he took it and found that there were all kinds of ointment inside. ¡°Thanks for yesterday,¡± Qin Zhen smiled. Hearing this, Jia Qing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his ears turned red with heat. ¡­ At night, Qin Zhen took a shower and turned on her computer. She had another video call invitation from Luyao. ¡°One billion. Wu Ze has paid.¡± Qin Zhen was a little surprised. That guy was willing to pay her that ridiculous price? Did he really have too much money to spend? It was obvious that she was trying to set him up, but he still paid? ¡°What¡¯s his commission?¡± she asked. At the mention of this, Luyao smiled evilly, ¡°To find the Witch Doctor for her incense.¡± Qin Zhen was speechless, ¡°Why is he looking for the Witch Doctor?¡± For a moment Luyao was silent, seemingly in thought. Then she answered, ¡°I¡¯ve looked him up and it¡¯s for his younger sister. I don¡¯t know what illness she has, but so far, no one has been able to cure her. Her condition is getting worse and worse, so he wants to find the Witch Doctor to check on her,¡± The reason why Wu Ze was in such a hurry to look for the Witch Doctor was that the spices concocted by her could enlighten one¡¯s heart and reveal one¡¯s nature, cure diseases, and dispel evil spirits. It was obvious that he had no other choice. His sister¡¯s condition was probably very serious¡­ In the past, the incense concocted by the Witch Doctor would be auctioned off at the auction house, but for the past two years, there had been no news of the Witch Doctor. Wu Ze was anxious, which was why he contacted the Dark Night and hired the best hacker to locate the whereabouts of said Witch Doctor¡¯s location. Wherever they are, Wu Ze would do everything he could to bring them home to his sister.

Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°So¡­? Are you still going to accept the job?¡± Luyao teased, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t he be furious if he found out that he spent a billion yuan to find that the Witch Doctor and the Grim Reaper was the same person?¡± Qin Zhen was quiet for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡± ¡­ The next day, after class, their homeroom teacher made an announcement, ¡°The school anniversary is coming up soon. Every class will have to perform something for the celebration. I¡¯ll leave the discussion to you all. The class monitor will inform me of your decision before the end of school.¡± The boys were not interested in these things, but the girls were very excited. Since there were only 15 girls in Class 28, Du Juan decided to perform a dance with all the girls. However, she deliberately excluded Qin Zhen and started to isolate the small group. Jia Qing watched it all happen from the side and immediately spoke up, ¡°If all the girls are participating, what about Qin Zhen? Is she a boy?¡± Du Juan obviously did not ask Qin Zhen on purpose, but Jia Qing and his small group were quite intimidating in class. So, she reluctantly asked her through gritted teeth, ¡°Qin Zhen, do you want to participate?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested,¡± Qin Zhen said indifferently, ¡°Alright then,¡± With that, Du Juan went back to do her own thing. Jia Qing snorted coldly, ¡°Zhenzhen, if she doesn¡¯t want to play with you. We¡¯ll play with you.¡± Qin Zhen was speechless, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary!¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t participate either¡­ I don¡¯t know how to dance anyway¡­ I want to leave some time to study.¡± Ji Yueyue¡¯s voice was very soft. If she wasn¡¯t standing next to Du Juan, no one would have heard her. The timid girl had never had a sense of presence in class. Hearing her say that she wasn¡¯t participating, Du Juan expressionlessly replied with an ¡°okay¡± and crossed her name out. After school, Qin Zhen went to He Guinian¡¯s house because he had an appointment with the doctor to check his leg today. When she arrived, the doctor had just arrived. She stood nervously at the side and watched the family doctor give He Guinian a check-up. After the doctor finished his examination, he said, ¡°There¡¯s no problem with your leg anymore. You should practice walking more to help you recover quicker,¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen was overjoyed. After thanking the doctor, she looked at He Guinian and was so excited that she wanted to cry, ¡°He Guinian, the doctor said that your leg is fine! This is great news!¡± He Guinian held her hand, his heart clenched at the sight of her tears, ¡°Since it¡¯s good news, why are you crying?¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy,¡± Her rebirth had finally changed many things, and one of them was He Guinian¡¯s leg. He Guinian looked at her with his dark eyes and took her hand. His voice was a little hoarse when he said, ¡°Zhenzhen, with you by my side, even if I lose this leg, I¡¯m still willing¡ª¡± ¡°No!¡± Qin Zhen suddenly covered his lips. What she was most afraid of now was that something would happen to his legs. After all, his leg was broken for her in her previous life, but she still left him¡­ With a warm palm on his lips, He Guinian shut his mouth and unconsciously pursed his lips. ¡°Shall I help you walk around the courtyard?¡± Qin Zhen asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Qin Zhen helped He Guinian up and let him lean on her, helping him walk slowly. He Yi and He Er followed behind them nervously, afraid that Qin Zhen would drop their Young Master. After a while, Qin Zhen felt exhausted. Not for walking too long, or for carrying much of his weight, but from how hot the sun was. He Guinian was also very tired. He was afraid of leaning too much on her, so he secretly put most of his weight on his leg. After walking for a while, his legs were sore and painful. In the end, the two of them could not hold on any longer and sat down to rest. ¡°I realized that your courtyard doesn¡¯t look good at all.¡± Qin Zhen fanned her face with her hand and looked at the bare ground in disgust. ¡°When we get married, I will fix them up. Why do I feel like I can¡¯t breathe at all? It¡¯s so hot.¡± From Qin Zhen¡¯s perspective, what she said was something factual and natural. This would be her future. She was going to marry He Guinian. However, she didn¡¯t realize how her words had shocked the man beside her. Did she really say that? Was she also imagining their future? Their future, their home¡­ ¡­ The next day, when Qin Zhen arrived at the classroom, she saw a few girls huddled together with their phones in their hands, discussing which dance they should cover. ¡°Right now, the most popular dancer is Qu Shen, the dance prodigy! His dance would always set off a wave of excitement! Why don¡¯t we perform his new dance, ¡®Love You¡¯? It¡¯s warm and sweet¡ª¡± ¡°I think that¡¯s a good idea! To have the chance to dance to my idol¡¯s song on stage is simply an honor!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen wasn¡¯t interested at first, but when she heard Qu Shen¡¯s name being mentioned, she stopped in her tracks. She subconsciously glanced at the phone Du Juan was holding. They were watching a video of a man dancing on stage. The man, who had a mole under his eye, was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, but under the light, his entire body seemed to glow, making him look ethereal. He closed his eyes, completely immersed in the world of dance as his body swayed to the melody. ¡°That dance isn¡¯t suitable for you,¡± Qin Zhen said lightly after watching it. Qu Shen¡¯s fans were immediately unhappy. ¡°You are just the top student in the grade. What¡¯s so great about that? Don¡¯t think that you know everything!¡± ¡°Du Juan has been learning dance for more than five years. Her mother is a dancer, and she even almost got into the dance specialty class! She doesn¡¯t judge us or say that we¡¯re not fit for this dance. What right do you have to say that!¡± Qin Zhen said softly, ¡°Qu Shen¡¯s dance style is filled with sweet elements, but he carries a more sinister and evil undertone to it. Every movement has a sharp edge giving a sense of desperation. It¡¯s not something you can express so easily. It¡¯s very likely¡ª¡± ¡°I¡¯ve liked Qu Shen for four years,¡± The girls impatiently interrupted, ¡°You¡¯re not going to perform on stage, so don¡¯t cause trouble for us. Who are you pretending for? Are you trying to show off? It¡¯s none of your business what we want to dance!¡± Qin Zhen shut her mouth and returned to her seat. She did not want them to choose that song because of what had happened in her previous life. Since they didn¡¯t want to listen to her, she should just stop. ¡°Qin Zhen,¡± Ji Yueyue spoke softly as she held a book in her hands. She had come over with another question. Frankly speaking, Ji Yueyue was a hard-working girl. Even Qin Zhen admired her diligence. However, she couldn¡¯t improve her grades because Ji Yueyue had always been a ¡°hardcore student¡±. The thing was, she only copied examples from books and re-wrote them in her notebook. She re-wrote one book after another¡­ Now, under Qin Zhen¡¯s patient guidance, her results have greatly improved! This was also why Ji Yueyue would immediately ask Qin Zhen questions whenever she saw Qin Zhen was free. Qin Zhen looked at the question that she had made a mistake on and explained patiently. Ji Yueyue was enlightened and quickly thanked her. Just as she was about to return to her seat when Qin Zhen suddenly said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about me. Just go and participate in the performance if you want. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Ji Yueyue was usually very focused, but she had peeked at Du Juan a few times. She must have wanted to join, right? It was just a school anniversary dance, anyway. If she liked it, she should go. Qin Zhen wouldn¡¯t feel offended by her. Qin Zhen looked at her and continued, ¡°If you¡¯re shy, I¡¯ll help you talk to them.¡± Ji Yueyue widened her eyes and shook her head, ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I don¡¯t know how to dance to begin with¡­ I just¡­ Qu Shen is my idol!¡± Qin Zhen was speechless, ¡°¡­. Can¡¯t you idolize someone else?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Qin Zhen didn¡¯t say anything else. However, in the next few days, she realized that Jia Qing had not come to class. Xie Liang and the others also often skipped class. Sometimes, they even had bruises on their faces. Moreover, they did not dare to look at her. She had a feeling that there was something else going on, so she grabbed Xie Liang and cornered him. Xie Liang did not want to admit it, but Qin Zhen was relentless and stubborn. After struggling for a while, he finally sighed, ¡°Jia Qing is in trouble. Do you still remember Fierce Bull? After that guy was released, he often went to Jia Qing¡¯s family¡¯s noodle shop to cause trouble. Their family could no longer do their business. Jia Qing went to find him privately. But in the end, that bastard set a trap for Jia Qing and he lost 500,000 yuan¡­¡± ¡­ Jia Qing lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. His face turned purple. His parents¡¯ fearful gazes behind him were like a sharp blade stabbing into his back, making him feel ashamed. ¡°Have you earned enough money? Don¡¯t blame me for reminding you. Every minute you waste will add another interest on top of what you owe. When will you be able to pay me back? Now you owe me 900,000 yuan!¡± Fierce Bull said haughtily, looking at him with satisfaction, ¡°The two of us can be friends, you know? We could have lived in peace, but you were the one who went out of line first. You can¡¯t blame me for giving you this treatment, right? I¡¯ve suffered such a huge loss. If I don¡¯t get it back, how can I survive in the future?¡± ¡°You can either pay or close the shop down. It¡¯s your choice! Aiyo, Uncle and Auntie, I¡¯m sorry to have frightened you too, but it¡¯s your fault for giving birth to such a good son.¡± Jia Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at Fierce Bull with his blood-red eyes, ¡°Do you have to be so ruthless? Don¡¯t you know where that money came from?¡± ¡°Oh, I know. The question is, do you know what you did that day? Do you think that was me being angry?¡± Fierce Bull laughed as he grabbed the iron rod and smashed it down on Jia Qing¡¯s shoulder.

Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jia Qing groaned in pain. He was forced to bend down and stare at the gang¡¯s feet. He knew that Fierce Bull would not let him off easily. But he also knew that compared to him and his family being tortured by this guy, it was better to fight back! When Fierce Bull¡¯s iron rod struck down again, a trace of coldness flashed across Jia Qing¡¯s eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the iron rod! Fierce Bull didn¡¯t expect him to resist, so he was caught off guard and stunned for a moment. Jia Qing seized the opportunity, snatched the iron rod from his hand, and smashed it toward his head! He had enough of being on at the end of the stick! Since this punk wanted to force him to his death, then why should he tolerate it!? Fierce Bull was shocked and quickly dodged, but he was still a little slow. The iron rod hit and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Fierce Bull¡¯s face twisted, ¡°You¡¯re f*cking courting death!¡± After all, Fierce Bull was a thug. Whether it was his strength or ruthlessness Jia Qing, a mere student, could not compare to him. In just a few moves, Jia Qing was beaten to the ground. Fierce Bull stepped on Jia Qing¡¯s chest and raised his eyebrows viciously. ¡°You still want to be ruthless with me? Are you worthy?¡± As he spoke, he took out a small knife from his pocket. ¡°Did you hit me with that hand just now? I¡¯ll break it so you remember not to cross with me.¡± ¡°Bastard, let go of my son!¡± Jia Qing had told his parents to stay upstairs to prevent them from getting hurt, but how could they stand there watching their son in trouble? How could they tolerate that? They screamed and rushed forward, slapping and biting the big man. But how could they be a match for Fierce Bull? Fierce Bull kicked them away. Mother Jia¡¯s waist hit the table heavily and fell onto the ground. Her face turned pale in pain and she stayed there for a long time. Father Jia was covered in injuries and could not stand up without clutching his stomach. ¡°Mom! Dad!¡± Jia Qing¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You scum! You will pay for this!¡± Father Jia roared angrily. He couldn¡¯t care about the pain and staggered forward again. Fierce Bull was annoyed. He said to his underlings behind him, ¡°Damn it, throw these two old bastards into the river!¡± The underlings were about to carry out his order, however, right at that moment, they were kicked away by a pair of beautiful legs. Qin Zhen helped Mother Jia up, while Xie Liang quickly helped Father Jia. They looked at the mess in the room, and their eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°You!¡± When the lackeys saw Qin Zhen, they were instantly reminded of that day, and their stomachs could not help but tremble. Fierce Bull heard the commotion and turned around. When he saw Qin Zhen, Xie Liang, and the others, his cold eyes narrowed. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Jia Qing roared. Qin Zhen told Xie Liang and the others to look after Father and Mother Jia before walking straight to the noodle shop. Because of Qin Zhen¡¯s display of power last time, these punks were a little scared and none of them moved to stop her. Fierce Bull glanced at Qin Zhen gloomily. He could still feel pain from the last injury she gave him. He hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to look for her, but she had come to him first. This puny girl was really digging her own grave! ¡°Are you an idiot?¡± Qin Zhen squatted down and examined Jia Qing¡¯s body. Seeing that his shoulder was covered in blood, she frowned slightly. She stood up and looked at Fierce Bull. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to avenge him? Let me tell you, the last time I let you off, it was because you ran fast. This time¡­ Since you came to me first, don¡¯t blame me for what you¡¯re going to get!¡± Fierce Bull did not take Qin Zhen seriously at all. He gave the lackeys behind him a look, and they instantly blocked the exits and surrounded Qin Zhen in the noodle shop. This time, they were prepared. They did not believe that Qin Zhen could overpower them this time. Fierce Bull thought that the reason they lost that day was because they had fewer people and didn¡¯t have any weapons on hand. But now, he brought more than twenty of them! Qin Zhen didn¡¯t waste any time talking to him. She picked up the iron rod on the ground and immediately hit Fierce Bull, in the exact same place where Jia Qing¡¯s injury was. ¡°Damn it! You slut!¡± As soon as the rod met his shoulder, Fierce Bull kneel on the ground. The burning pain on his shoulder made him completely lose his mind. He roared at his underlings, ¡°What are you waiting for? Get her!¡± The group of lackeys held their machetes and iron rods and aimed their weapons at Qin Zhen. ¡°Zhenzhen!¡± Xie Liang and the others screamed and wanted to rush up to help, but they saw a figure being pushed out. It was Qin Zhen who pushed Jia Qing out. ¡°Stand there and watch!¡± Qin Zhen was really angry. She hit the punks hard and showed no mercy. However, right at this moment, Qin Zhen¡¯s back was hit hard by an iron rod. She pounced forward and staggered two steps before stabilizing herself. ¡°Fierce Bull, look at this chick! She¡¯s still trying to show off! You¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°Get her! I¡¯ll let her cry and beg for mercy under my body later. We¡¯ll let this little girl know what fun is! Hahaha¡­¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A vicious look flashed across Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes when she heard their filthy words. She instantly used her foot to lift the iron rod from the ground and held it in her hand. Her body was like a bolt of lightning as he charged toward them. The group of people was shocked. They did not even see how or when Qin Zhen moved. She was there in one moment, and the next thing they knew, their stomach, feet, and other parts of their body were hit. In an instant, they fell to the ground Fierce Bull stared at Qin Zhen in shock. How did this woman transform into a different person in a second? After a while, the noodle shop was filled with screams. Jia Qing and the others looked at Qin Zhen in disbelief. If they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a weak young lady had defeated a bunch of burly men by herself? Qin Zhen played with the iron rod in her hand. She squatted down slightly and looked at Fierce Bull whose head was bleeding. ¡°I¡¯m a generous person and don¡¯t want to argue with you about what happened last time, but you insisted on digging your own grave. Is it because you have nothing left to do in this world?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already checked your family background. You¡¯re quite rich¨C *cough cough*¡­¡± He curled up in pain. The bones in his body felt as though they were shattering. Even talking hurts all the muscles in his body. It was unbearable. Fierce Bull sucked in a breath of cold air, looking up at Qin Zhen from the ground. He gritted his teeth and hissed, ¡°But you rich kids have no right to interfere in the matters of the underworld. I¡¯ll admit that I can¡¯t kill you even if I beat you up.¡± ¡°But Jia Qing¡­ He couldn¡¯t get away from his fate! Can you keep an eye on him for twenty-four hours? I can. As soon as you take a nap, I can make Jia Qing and his family beg for death!¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen¡¯s nonchalant attitude disappeared. She raised her leg and stepped on his injured shoulder, ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t do anything to you?¡± ¡°Zhenzhen, let go,¡± Jia Qing stepped in. He was injured and his steps were shaky. He had never wanted to involve Xie Liang, Qin Zhen, and his other friends precisely because of this reason. This matter was not as simple as the strong dragon suppressing the local snake. Once this group of people was provoked, you can¡¯t shake them off your tail no matter what you do. Right at that moment, someone with sharp eyes saw a group of people coming towards them and shouted in surprise. ¡°Brother Di Cheng!¡± They shouted in surprise. When Jia Qing, Xie Liang, and the others saw the group of people walking over, their expressions abruptly changed. Di Cheng was the leader of this area, which also means that he was Fierce Bull¡¯s boss. Now that this guy was involved, things were going to be even more difficult to resolve. Fierce Bull was overjoyed. He gloated at Qin Zhen, ¡°You¡¯re dead for sure this time!¡± Di Cheng became the boss of the underground casino at 15. Despite his young age, his methods were so vicious that they made people shudder. For this reason, Di Cheng had a lot of power; nobody could survive when he took matters into his own hands. Di Cheng strode over, the air around him did not bode well. His already-tanned face was turning darker with his stormy expression. Anyone could tell that he was holding back his anger. Everyone also knew that Di Cheng¡¯s anger was very dangerous. Jia Qing, Xie Liang, and the others all stood in front of Qin Zhen to block his path to her. They knew that Qin Zhen was good at fighting, but the current situation was no longer that simple. They could not afford to offend this group of people. Even if they beat Di Cheng up, they would only fall deeper into the chaos. Those people did not care about the law at all. ¡°Brother Di Cheng! It was her! It was this woman who injured us like this! You have to stand up for us. This woman simply doesn¡¯t respect us!¡± Fierce Bull declared arrogantly, but he did not notice that Di Cheng¡¯s face was getting darker and darker. ¡°Hurry up and help us teach her a lesson¡ª AH!¡± Fierce Bull let out a miserable cry. He could only watch helplessly as Di Cheng stepped heavily on his ribs. He could vaguely hear a crack as his ribs were broken. Everyone was dumbfounded. What just happened? However, what shocked them even more was yet to come. They stared at Di Cheng with mouths agape. Such a ruthless mafia boss¡­ was bowing down to Qin Zhen?! ¡°Miss Qin, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t manage them well and caused you trouble! You can do whatever you want to them!¡± Fierce Bull and the others watched in confusion as their leader bowed deeply to Qin Zhen respectfully and apologetically. Their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. I believe¡­ You can handle this well. Can¡¯t you Mr. Di?¡± Qin Zhen used her foot to drag a chair over and leisurely sat down with her arms resting on the backrest in front of her. Di Cheng noticed the rust on her body. It was from the iron rod. Immediately, his face turned pale. His cold gaze shot straight at Fierce Bull. This reckless thing even dared to hurt her!

Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Miss Qin, let me treat your injuries first¡­¡± Di Cheng said worriedly. If those people knew that Qin Zhen was injured in his territory, they would surely close down his casino! His ruthlessness was simply not enough to stand against absolute strength. ¡°No need. It¡¯s just a small injury,¡± Qin Zhen said nonchalantly, ¡°Deal with the problem first. I¡¯m waiting.¡± Di Cheng should have tried to understand the situation before coming. Normally, he would not care about such things, but now, he could not ignore them, ¡°What are you standing there for?¡± He kicked Fierce Bull¡¯s leg, ¡°Kneel and apologize to Miss Qin!¡± Fierce Bull couldn¡¯t believe it. His ribs were still aching. He wanted to poke his own ears. ¡°Brother Di, why are you afraid of this woman? Y-you want me to apologize?¡± ¡°Kneel down!¡± Di Cheng¡¯s expression is ice-cold as he kicks the fierce bull¡¯s kneecap. Fierce Bull was already injured. Everyone could even hear the sound of his knee bones shattering as he knelt on the ground. Jia Qing and Xie Liang looked at each other, their expressions shocked. ¡°I¡¯m not the one he harmed. Why are you apologizing to me?¡± Qin Zhen waved her hand off. Di Cheng immediately understood what she meant. He looked at Jia Qing and then at Fierce Bull, ¡°Where¡¯s the IOU?¡± Fierce Bull was reluctant to take it out but did not dare to go against Di Cheng¡¯s wishes. He could only grit his teeth and take out the piece of paper. Di Cheng took it and skimmed the contents. It was written that Jia Qing had already given Fierce Bull 500,000 yuan. ¡°Where¡¯s the money?¡± ¡°I¡­ I put it in my bank card¡ª¡± ¡°Give me the card.¡± Fierce Bull was very unwilling to give it up, ¡°Brother Di Cheng, this is my money. He only has 200,000 yuan. The IOU includes interest¨C¡± ¡°The password.¡± Di Cheng said, completely ignoring him. Fierce Bull didn¡¯t dare to disobey his boss. No matter how much it pained him, he took out the card and handed it to Di Cheng. He even told him the password. ¡°How much money is in here?¡± Di Cheng asked again. Fierce Bull had a bad feeling about it, but he did not dare to hide the truth, ¡°980,000¡­¡± Di Cheng handed the card to Jia Qing, ¡°Just treat it as the loss of your shop and your family¡¯s medical expenses for the past few days. You deserve this, so you do not need to feel embarrassed.¡± ¡°No, no, no¡­¡± Jia Qing waved his hands frantically. If he took this, who knew if he would be alive tomorrow? ¡°Take it.¡± Qin Zhen spoke in a light voice. Di Cheng felt that Jia Qing was taking too long. Since Miss Qin had spoken, he stuffed the card into Jia Qing¡¯s arms, ¡°In the future, Fierce Bull will not disturb you again. If you have any problems with him then, feel free to look for me. I¡¯ll also get someone to help with the renovation of the shop¡­¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Di Cheng¡­¡± Seeing that Di Cheng was a little impatient, Jia Qing did not dare to decline anymore and could only take it skeptically. Qin Zhen placed her hands on the back of the chair and suddenly felt her phone in her pocket vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was a text from He Guinian. [Is class still not over?] Qin Zhen sat up straight. She forgot to tell him that she went out. Was He Guinian still waiting for her at the school gate? [Wait a bit, I¡¯ll be there soon.] After replying, she stood up and turned to leave, ¡°I still have something to do. So, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± The main thing was that the matters here were almost settled, so there was no need for her to continue staying here. ¡°Miss Qin, let me send you off.¡± ¡°Stay here and handle the follow-up matters.¡± Qin Zhen refused. However Di Cheng was still worried, ¡°But you¡¯re hurt. I¡¯ll send you to the hospital to¡ª¡± ¡°You talk too much. Don¡¯t tell Luyao and the others about my injury.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zhen hailed a taxi and rushed to school. Di Cheng watched as the car disappeared before returning to the noodle shop. Fierce Bull was still kneeling on the ground. Without Di Cheng¡¯s instructions, no one dared to help him up. He did not dare to get up himself. ¡°Get up.¡± Upon hearing Di Cheng¡¯s words, Fierce Bull hurriedly stood up as if he had been pardoned. Just as he stood up shakily, he heard Di Cheng¡¯s cold words coming from above his head, ¡°I¡¯ll give you 12 hours to leave the capital and go wherever you want. I don¡¯t want to see you or your group of people in the future. Don¡¯t ever come back for as long as you live! Otherwise, prepare to bear the consequences.¡± Fierce Bull¡¯s legs went soft and he knelt on the ground again¡­ ¡­ Qin Zhen rushed to the school gate and saw He Guinian¡¯s car parked on the opposite street. She quickly walked over. ¡°Why are you sweating so much?¡± He Guinian took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. ¡°I was afraid that you would get anxious from waiting.¡± Qin Zhen felt a little guilty.

Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°If you¡¯re feeling hot, take off your coat,¡± He Guinian could feel the phantom heat just from watching how tightly she was wrapped in. He did not know if it was only his imagination, but he felt that Qin Zhen was acting a little strange today. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s not that hot. I just sweated when I ran over to you,¡± Qin Zhen subconsciously pulled her coat closer to her body. What a joke. If she took it off, what would He Guinian do if he saw her injuries? ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today? Why do I feel like you¡¯ve done something wrong?¡± He Guinian frowned. ¡°Are you hiding something from me?¡± He Guinian only said what was on his mind, but Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes widened and she shouted, feeling affronted, ¡°You¡¯re being mean!¡± He Guinian was slightly startled, ¡°No I¡¯m not,¡± ¡°Then why are you questioning me?¡± Qin Zhen asked. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ just asking¡­¡± He Guinian¡¯s voice weakened. ¡°But you use that tone on me!¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s eyes widened with annoyance. He Guinian was speechless. He really could not follow the girl¡¯s train of thought and did not understand what was going through her mind. He thought for a moment and quickly changed the topic, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Qin Zhen rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, ¡°Hot pot!¡± He Guinian nodded and told He Yi to hurry up, ¡°Alright.¡± When Qin Zhen returned home that evening, Qin Jin and Qin Youting were still awake and drinking tea in the living room. ¡°Dad, Big Brother!¡± She leaned over and shook the bag in her hand, ¡°He Guinian bought this flower cake. It¡¯s very delicious, so I brought some back for you to try.¡± Watching Qin Zhen talking on and on about He Guinian made Qin Jin feel a little envious. The human heart was a funny thing. In the past, when Qin Zhen didn¡¯t like He Guinian, he only felt worried about them. After all, He Guinian had grown up under his care, so he was more than relieved to hand Qin Zhen over to He Guinian. But now, his daughter¡¯s heart was filled with the young man. As a father, he felt a little jealous. ¡°You should eat them. I¡¯m old and don¡¯t like sweet things. If I eat any more, I¡¯ll have diabetes,¡± Qin Jin pursed his lips. ¡°I¡¯m not eating, I¡¯m not eating, I¡¯m not eating.¡± Qin Youting said lightly. Qin Zhen was still smiling, ¡°Then I¡¯ll eat it myself. Hmph, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s enough.¡± ¡®So she was just being polite?¡¯ Qin Jin and Qin Youting thought. ¡°Dad, Big Brother, I¡¯ll go back to my room to wash up first. Good night! You guys go to bed early too.¡± Qin Zhen carried the flower cakes and went upstairs with a smile. After washing up, she prepared to send a text to He Guinian. However, she heard a knock on her door. ¡°Zhenzhen, it¡¯s me. Can I come in?¡± ¡°Come in!¡± Qin Youting walked in with a glass of warm milk in his hand. He frowned when he saw Qin Zhen lying on the bed in her pajamas with her hair still wet. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Zhen asked. Qin Youting handed the milk over, ¡°I smell hot pot on you. You must have gone to eat it. Drink some warm milk to warm your stomach.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I have a really gentle brother,¡± Qin Zhen took the milk with a smile and drank a big mouthful in one go. Qin Youting did not say anything. He took out the hairdryer from the shelf, plugged it in, and adjusted the temperature. ¡°Come, dry your hair before you sleep.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m used to it. It¡¯s fine as long as it doesn¡¯t drip,¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s hair was very thick and it took a long time to dry it, so most of the time, she just used the towel to pat down her hair. Qin Youting looked at her stubbornly, ¡°C¡¯mon, listen to your brother,¡± Qin Zhen had no choice but to slowly walk over and sit down. Looking at her gentle brother through the mirror, her mind took her back to her past life when her brother was framed for taking drugs and died¡­ How could such a wonderful person like her brother have such an ending? With this second chance, she swore to not let what happened then repeat itself. She had already changed the fate of He Guinian¡¯s legs, so she would also change her brother¡¯s fate. ¡°Brother, are you interested in starting your own entertainment company? This way, you can continue to be a stylist and let your own artists promote your work. Your side job will be liked by more people.¡± Qin Zhen knew that her brother did not like to take over the family business. He preferred to fulfill his own dreams. ¡°How would I have the time? Besides, it¡¯s not easy to start an entertainment company. We don¡¯t have any connections in that area¡­¡± Qin Youting smiled helplessly. Qin Zhen saw Qin Youting¡¯s intention and continued, ¡°Brother, in recent years, all kinds of entertainment apps have become popular. People, especially young adults, love using the internet. This could give you opportunities and a bigger platform for you to promote your expertise. You can make connections with artists and internet celebrities at the same time.¡± Qin Zhen said excitedly. Then, she picked up a pen and wrote down a few names. ¡°Brother, you must recruit these people into your company. In a few years, they will definitely become famous! Trust me, you¡¯ll definitely make a profit!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Alright, go to bed early. These things are not for a child like you to participate in.¡± Qin Youting looked at his sister with a doting gaze. Although he didn¡¯t think that his sister was right, he still took the notes his sister wrote. No matter what, he could not waste his sister¡¯s kindness. ¡°Okay, okay. Good night, Brother.¡± Qin Zhen nodded. She couldn¡¯t rush this matter. After all, it was already very difficult to throw someone who didn¡¯t know anything about the entertainment industry straight into it. It would take a while for her to convince him. Qin Youting took the empty cup and went out, but when the door closed, his face darkened. He took out her phone and dialed He Guinian¡¯s number. ¡°What happened to Zhenzhen? Where did the injuries come from?¡± He asked coldly. He noticed Qin Zhen¡¯s subdued expression, obviously trying to hide it from him, so Qin Youting did not ask. But he saw them, and he couldn¡¯t pretend that he didn¡¯t know. Who dared hurt his sister? Moreover, He Guinian had been with Qin Zhen for the past few days, so he should know what happened. ¡°She¡¯s injured?¡± Hearing that, He Guinian¡¯s heart tightened. He instantly thought of Qin Zhen¡¯s strange behavior today. Qin Youting was dissatisfied, ¡°She¡¯s with you almost every day now. She even has dinner with you. How could you not know that she¡¯s injured?¡± He Guinian¡¯s throat tightened as he asked worriedly, ¡°Is it serious?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a superficial wound.¡± That was why Qin Youting was able to hold back. However, his sister could not be at fault for anything! If he could not protect her, what was the point of him being her older brother? ¡°Leave this matter to me. I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory answer.¡± After hanging up the phone, He Guinian¡¯s expression was ugly as he asked He Yi to investigate. In about half an hour, He Yi had found everything. He didn¡¯t expect that the matter from last time was not over yet. Those people still dared to hurt Qin Zhen. ¡°In that case, don¡¯t let them escape! Prison should be their eternal home!¡± He Guinian said, his voice filled with ruthlessness and killing intent. ¡°Understood,¡± He Yi nodded. Fierce Bull had committed all kinds of crimes over the years. Sending him to the police station was as easy as stealing candy from a child. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, the school anniversary celebration arrived. The entire school was very excited. Under the teacher¡¯s guidance, they carried stuff to the hall and sat down. The school also gave each student a light stick to set off the atmosphere. Du Juan and the girls from Class 28 were very nervous because they were unlucky enough to draw the third spot toward the end. What was worse, they would have to perform right after Qin Si. Qin Si had been dancing since she was young, and her skills in classical dance were even better than Du Juan. She was as light as a fairy, and no one could compete with her. She even won first place in the school¡¯s anniversary celebrations two years ago. With them going back to back, the audience wouldn¡¯t be able to help themselves by comparing their performances. And going after Qin Si¡­ They wouldn¡¯t be able to shine. ¡°Du Juan,¡± Qin Si said as she slowly walked towards the class monitor of Class 28. She was wearing a white traditional costume, and the tasseled skirt swayed gently as she walked like water ripples gently brushing past her heart. Her every movement, even the frown and smile on her face was perfect. Although it was a little deliberate, it was undeniable that she was very beautiful. Especially when everyone was a young student, this kind of delicate woman¡¯s beauty was fatal. ¡°How are the preparations going on your end?¡± Qin Si asked, looking concerned. ¡°We¡¯re almost done, but it¡¯s not as good as your dance¡­¡± Du Juan replied dejectedly. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. You¡¯re great too. I saw the program¡¯s introduction. All the girls from Class 28 will be performing together. Why isn¡¯t Qin Zhen here?¡± Qin Si asked. ¡°Qin Si, why did you bring her up for no reason?¡± Du Juan was furious at the mention of Qin Zhen¡¯s name, ¡°She doesn¡¯t know how to dance, so she didn¡¯t go on stage. Almost all the people in Class 28 worshiped her like a god these days. Sure, her academic score is slightly better, and she is capable now. But when you did well in your exams in the past, you were not as pretentious as her.¡± Qin Si was still smiling, but when she heard Du Juan¡¯s words, she could not help but clench her fists, ¡°If she doesn¡¯t know how to dance, then it¡¯s best if she doesn¡¯t go on stage. Today¡¯s event is different from previous years. There will be many board members attending and many outstanding schoolmates performing. Their skills are on the same level as gods. If you let Qin Zhen perform, the school leaders would definitely be angry and might record a major demerit to her. No matter how capable the Qin family is, they could not stop people from talking.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go make some preparations first. You guys should do your best.¡± With that, Qin Si left, leaving Du Juan alone in her spot, deep in thought. ¡­ ¡°Next performance is prepared by Qin Si¡­¡± Thunderous applause rang out from the audience! Many boys even whistled. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen lazily raised her head. On the high platform, Qin Si was wearing a traditional white dance dress, with her feet bare. Her hair hung down to her waist and was tied up with a ribbon. The lights focused on her, making her look as beautiful as a mountain elf. Her sleeves fluttered as she jumped, leaped, and bent down. Every movement was done to the extreme. Her soft body seemed to have no bones, making the male students squirm. Qin Zhen watched the performance for a while before she lowered her head to play on her phone. Qin Si was beautiful, but she had no soul. From her point of view, Qin Si didn¡¯t seem to be dancing, but more like she was showing off her skills. However, there was nothing much to say. Qin Si had always been such a person. The leaders below the stage nodded repeatedly and praised her. In the VIP seats, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue suit and glasses stared at Qin Si¡¯s slender waist on the stage. He rubbed his palms with a strong interest in his eyes, ¡°Go and check her family background.¡± His assistant quickly followed his orders. At the end of the song, everyone cheered and applauded even more enthusiastically. ¡°Thank you, everyone,¡± Qin Si bowed and left. The corners of her lips curled up, and she could not help but feel proud. On the same day of every year was her highlight. She hoped from years to come, nobody would ever forget her performance. The next performance was from Class 28. With Qin Si going before them, Du Juan and the others¡¯ dance seemed somewhat unpresentable. Especially when they chose a dance that was not suitable for them, it seemed a little out of place. Everyone was uninterested. From a professional point of view, the movements were not up to standard. In other aspects, nothing was interesting about it. ¡°Why did Du Juan and the others choose to cover this? It looks strange.¡± Jia Qing scratched his head, he didn¡¯t understand the dance. Despite talking from an audience perspective, he was very intuitive. Qu Shen¡¯s dance was an interpretation of the depth of his soul. He used extreme movements to draw pictures in people¡¯s minds, moving their hearts. Du Juan and the others couldn¡¯t understand the essence of the dance. They were just superficially copying the movements, which was why people couldn¡¯t understand the art. This was also the reason why Qin Zhen said that they were not suitable for this dance. However, it was obvious that Du Juan did not take her advice at all. After the dance ended, the applause was scattered and sparse. Du Juan and the others got off the stage with red eyes. Looking at the audience¡¯s reaction, they understood what was going on. They didn¡¯t expect to fail so badly today. The emcee went on stage and continued to read, ¡°Please enjoy the next program. Class 28¡­¡± The emcee trailed off before coming to a stop. Because she noticed that there was a line added to the program list: Class 28, Qin Zhen, solo dance. The emcee hesitated because she remembered that Qin Zhen had never participated in the rehearsal from the beginning to the end. Then why was her name on it? But today was such an important occasion, so no one dared to give a bad performance. The emcee didn¡¯t think too much about it and thought that the school had probably planned this last minute. She was only an emcee, so there was nothing to do but say whatever was written in the script, ¡°Next, please enjoy the solo dance that Qin Zhen of Class 28 has prepared!¡± Qin Zhen was now a celebrity in the school. When they heard her name being called, everyone immediately cheered. They were looking forward to her performance. When the teacher in charge of the celebration heard Qin Zhen¡¯s name, he was stunned and quickly flipped through the program list. Qin Zhen¡¯s name was not even on the paper! Jia Qing and the others frowned, their expression becoming dark. They were with Qin Zhen the whole day, and they knew she hadn¡¯t signed up to participate in the performance. It was obvious that someone wanted to humiliate her! How could there be someone with so much mean intent? Ji Yueyue also frowned and looked at Qin Zhen worriedly. ¡°Zhenzhen, what should we do now?¡± Jia Qing said worriedly. ¡°What else can we do? If I don¡¯t go, they¡¯ll think I¡¯m scared,¡± Qin Zhen lazily stood up and walked backstage. Meanwhile, backstage, the teacher was scolding the emcee.¡±What¡¯s wrong with you? Qin Zhen didn¡¯t sign up for the show. She didn¡¯t even come to the rehearsal. Weren¡¯t you there during the rehearsal? What are you thinking? Why did you call her name?¡± ¡°Sir, Qin Zhen¡¯s name was added to my script. I thought it was arranged by the school¡­¡± The emcee said, feeling wronged. ¡°You!¡± The teacher was furious, but he knew that now was not the time to blame her. He saw Qin Zhen coming over from the corner of his eye and quickly said, ¡°Qin Zhen, do you know how to dance? Forget it, I don¡¯t care if you know it or not. Go up first and jump casually! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take responsibility!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Because Qin Zhen had not appeared for quite some time, the audience was left with nothing to do but discuss animatedly amongst themselves. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t she on stage yet?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s scared. Is she pretending to be brave? If she is, then she shouldn¡¯t have signed up¡­¡± In the front row, the school leaders looked at each other and frowned. They did not know what had happened. Then, Qin Zhen slowly walked onto the stage. However, she didn¡¯t change her clothes and still wore her school uniform. Jia Qing, Xie Liang, and the others were all sweating in their seats. They had agreed that they would still applaud loudly no matter how good or bad Qin Zhen danced! They would support Zhenzhen! After all, in their opinion, Zhenzhen may have the skills to fight, but whether she could do anything as soft as dancing¡­ Uh¡­ In any case, they were going to support her no matter what! -Backstage- Du Juan focused all her attention on Qin Zhen, who was standing on the stage. She couldn¡¯t help but imagine how bad things would go down, and could not suppress the excitement in her heart. Moreover, there were so many board leaders in the audience. It was enough to embarrass Qin Zhen for a lifetime. ¡®Let¡¯s see who would still support Qin Zhen¡¯s stinky feet in the future!¡¯ Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Qin Zhen finally moved! Even the best dance would feel a little lacking without music or accompaniment. However, Qin Zhen didn¡¯t need any of that. Qin Zhen¡¯s every move was perfect and clean. She wasn¡¯t like Qin Si, who kept showing off her skills. She was like a natural dancer, one with her soul. She didn¡¯t try to please anyone, she was just jumping around across the stage, doing her own thing. Her movement seemed to have some kind of magic that attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Once the performance was done, everyone was stunned for a long time. ¡°Zhenzhen is awesome!¡± Jia Qing and the others were the first to react and erupted in shocking cheers. The hall was filled with a thunderous round of applause. ¡°Qin Zhen is so amazing! Nobody expected her to be so good at dancing! She danced so well without accompaniment. I was completely immersed in it!¡± ¡°I used to think that Qin Si¡¯s dancing was amazing enough. Compared to her, she¡¯s nothing!¡± The crowd applauded fiercely, and the boys even shouted for their goddess! Amidst the cheers, Qin Zhen remained calm and composed. She bowed and left. Backstage, Qin Si¡¯s expression turned into an ugly frown. She never knew that Qin Zhen could dance so well! How was that possible? She had grown up with Qin Zhen. When Qin Zhen was young, she only started dancing for two days before the dance teacher left in anger. After that, Qin Jin and Qin Youting never hired a teacher for her. How could she dance so well? ¡°Qin Zhen!¡± Qin Zhen had just arrived backstage when Du Juan and her group decided to block her. Du Juan glared at her with gritted teeth, ¡°You were clearly dancing Qu Shen¡¯s dance! You must have practiced for a long time, huh? You¡¯re really f*cking cheap. You secretly learned from us and practiced his dance. Then you told us it didn¡¯t suit us. Now you¡¯re just showing off! You were waiting for this moment, didn¡¯t you? You¡¯re such a snake!¡± ¡°There must be something wrong with your memory, I advised you to go to the hospital. Delaying the treatment will cause dementia.¡± Qin Zhen retaliated, shocked by the accusation. ¡°Why are you still pretending?!¡± Du Juan hated the look Qin Zhen had on her face. It was as if Qin Zhen didn¡¯t care, like nothing affected her! She was so angry that she wanted to hit her. Du Juan raised her hand and was about to hit her¡ª But Qin Zhen easily dodged it with a slight move to the side. Due to the force she put into the slap, Du Juan threw herself forward. She fell face first to the ground and judging from the sound of it, she fell quite hard. The girls from Class 28 quickly helped her up. The teacher in charge walked over with a smile and praised Qin Zhen. He had thought that Qin Zhen would cause a huge mess when she went on stage. He did not expect that the atmosphere would bring them to the climax. ¡°Let¡¯s find out the truth first! Someone had written it with a pen. Whether we look at the handwriting or the surveillance cameras, we should be able to find the culprit very quickly,¡± Qin Zhen said lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll look into it,¡± the teacher in charge promised. The celebration ended successfully, and all the staff and performers stayed behind. This was because the teacher in charge wanted to find out who was behind this. The nature of this matter was extremely vile! The first suspect was the emcee. ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me! I don¡¯t hold any grudges against Qin Zhen. Why would I want to humiliate her? Besides, I¡¯m only emceeing. If something happens, I¡¯ll be the first to be punished.¡± The emcee was on the verge of tears. She felt wronged. This really had nothing to do with her. ¡°Since it didn¡¯t cause any big trouble, let¡¯s not pursue the matter anymore. It¡¯s already so late. It will be dark by the time we return home. That¡¯s not safe.¡± Du Juan said dryly, her eyes somewhat evasive. ¡°Yes, Sir. Maybe it¡¯s just a prank. I believe that this person had already realized their mistake. If we continued, it would only affect the school¡¯s reputation. Everyone is also very tired. Let them go back and rest.¡± After Qin Si finished speaking, she turned to Qin Zhen, ¡°Zhenzhen, what do you think? Look at how well you danced. Everyone liked it too.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Si gave Qin Zhen, who had been sitting on the chair playing with her phone, a seemingly simple, yet difficult question. If Qin Zhen continued to insist, she would seem too petty. After all, she had already said so much. How could Qin Zhen have the audacity to trouble everyone? But Qin Zhen didn¡¯t think anyone would feel inconvenienced by her request, especially after she gave them a good performance. Qin Zhen supported her chin and looked straight at her cousin, ¡°I understand what¡¯s going on. So this matter has something to do with you. You did it.¡± ¡°What? What does it have to do with me? Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I¡¯m just worried that everyone is too tired,¡± Qin Si hurriedly defended herself, startled to be accused as such. ¡°Then why are you panicking? Nobody is complaining. The teacher was just asking the emcee, but you and Du Juan seemed so eager to go home,¡± Qin Zhen asked casually. Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Qin Si¡¯s expression darkened but said nothing else. Du Juan bit her lip tightly and didn¡¯t dare to look up. Qin Zhen lowered her head and looked at her phone. The phone screen changed from the blue screen at the beginning. She put her phone away and stood up. She said to the teacher, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± The teacher waved her hand, indicating for her to go, and then continued to question everybody one by one. She had checked the surveillance cameras before, but the surveillance cameras had been tampered with and were broken. Therefore, she felt that this matter had been planned for quite some time. Du Juan was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the teacher was asking the other students, she sneaked out to get some fresh air. However, she noticed Qin Zhen by the door. Qin Zhen leaned lazily against the wall and glanced at her as if she was deliberately waiting for her, ¡°You did it, didn¡¯t you?¡± Du Juan¡¯s heart, which was already beating violently, was about to jump out of her chest. She subconsciously looked backstage and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention to them. ¡°Stop accusing me!¡± She growled in a low voice. The surveillance cameras had been destroyed and the evidence was gone anyway. The teacher had investigated for so long, but they wouldn¡¯t be able to find anything. In the end, this matter would be left unfinished! As for the handwriting, she wrote it with her left hand, so no one would recognize it. At the thought of this, Du Juan became more confident. Qin Zhen didn¡¯t say anything and just stared at her with her usual look. Du Juan¡¯s panicked face was reflected in her clear eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one chance. If you admit it, then this matter will be over.¡± Qin Zhen¡¯s voice was flat. ¡°Honestly, I don¡¯t want to have any conflict with you because it¡¯s annoying. But if you¡¯re asking for it, don¡¯t blame me.¡± Du Juan thought that Qin Zhen was trying to trick her, so she sneered and said, ¡°Do you have evidence? You¡¯re completely accusing me of something I didn¡¯t do! Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯re stinking rich!¡± Seeing that Qin Zhen did not speak, she became even more arrogant. The commotion attracted the attention of the people backstage. The teacher walked toward them and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Sir! It was Qin Zhen! She said that I did it for no reason! She was accusing me. What right does she have to say that? I want her to apologize to me!¡± Du Juan felt that this was a great opportunity. Qin Zhen¡¯s baseless slander might give the teacher in charge a bad impression of her, so he would stop pursuing the matter. The girls from Class 28, who were good friends with Du Juan, also sought justice for her, ¡°Qin Zhen, are you sick? Suspecting the people in your own class!? Do you even have a heart?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you think you¡¯re so great just because you¡¯re the first in the grade and can dance? You don¡¯t care about anyone. Why are you so arrogant¡ª¡± ¡°Quiet!¡± The teacher in charge berated them sternly, and the students immediately shut up. ¡°Qin Zhen, you said Du Juan did it. Do you have any evidence?¡± He asked Qin Zhen, his tone involuntarily softening. Qin Zhen glanced at Du Juan. Meeting her gaze, Du Juan raised her chin, fearlessly staring back. Qin Zhen couldn¡¯t be bothered to continue dawdling. She had already wasted a lot of her time today. Because of their age, she really treated these people like little girls and would not pursue anything. Moreover, there was no grudge between them, so she gave her another chance. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one last chance.¡± Her voice was colder than before. Seeing her trying to threaten her, Du Juan felt more convinced that Qin Zhen had no evidence and was deliberately coaxing her to admit. If she had evidence, she would have taken it out long ago. Why would she have to ask her again and again? ¡°You don¡¯t need to give me any chances. I¡¯m not wrong,¡± she sneered, ¡°If you can¡¯t produce the so-called evidence to prove that I did it, you must apologize to me in front of everyone!¡± Du Juan¡¯s plan was very simple. She just wanted to deliberately stir up the matter to cover her tracks. She was confident that she could keep this secret to her grave. Qin Zhen looked at her and decided that was enough. She picked up her phone and handed it to the teacher, ¡°Sir, take a look for yourself.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 38 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The teacher took the phone and watched it. Then, his expression completely darkened. Qin Si had a bad feeling. She suddenly remembered that Qin Zhen had used her computer to recover the deleted phone chat records back at the Qin family¡¯s house¡­ Du Juan¡¯s heart was pounding, but she felt that Qin Zhen could not possibly have any evidence. Unless it was forged! ¡°Sir, Qin Zhen is deliberately trying to make me look bad! Don¡¯t believe anything she gives. She is a bad person! I think she did all this on purpose¡ª¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you the person on this? Can this be forged?¡± The teacher roared. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He turned the phone screen towards her. It was a surveillance video. In the video, it was clear that Du Juan had secretly tampered with the emcee¡¯s cue card when she was not around. ¡°No, I¡­¡± Du Juan subconsciously wanted to explain, but the evidence was right in front of her. What could she say? ¡°Sir, don¡¯t be angry. I think Du Juan was confused for a moment¡­¡± Qin Si said expectantly. She couldn¡¯t let this matter continue to ferment. Otherwise, who knew if Du Juan, this idiot, would say something unnecessary? Qin Zhen didn¡¯t say anything. She took her phone back and didn¡¯t even look at Du Juan. She bid the teacher farewell and left. She had given Du Juan a chance, but she had not taken it. She would not be in charge of what happened after that. These little girls were still not taught enough. Did they really think that there were good people everywhere in this world? ¡­ When she returned home that night, Qin Zhen received a video call from Luyao. ¡°A bunch of trash. They are actually dumb enough to mess with you and even injure you. You even asked Di Cheng to come later and not tell us about any of this. Everyone is clamoring to avenge you. But just as we were about to attack, someone beat us to it. Life imprisonment will be enough for him.¡± Qin Zhen was slightly startled. If Luyao and the others were not the ones who retaliated, then who was it? Could it be¡­ ¡°By the way, have you thought about Wu Ze¡¯s commission?¡± Luyao asked, recalling the important matter she wanted to discuss with her, ¡°He seems to be very anxious and has been messaging me every day. After all, you have delayed his request for so many years. If you don¡¯t want to accept it, I¡¯ll reject it for you,¡± Qin Zhen thought back to her previous life and remembered that Wu Ze had always been by He Guinian¡¯s side. No matter how down and out He Guinian was, he never left. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look this Saturday.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell him now.¡± The next day, Qin Zhen went to class as usual. As soon as she arrived, she could feel the awkward atmosphere. Especially from the girls in Du Juan¡¯s small group. They looked at her with hatred. The timid ones pointed at her behind her back, while the bold ones straight up told her how they felt to her face, ¡°Qin Zhen, do you know that because of you, everyone in school is talking bad about Du Juan? She doesn¡¯t want to come back to school anymore! How can you do that to her? Aren¡¯t we classmates?¡± ¡°Is there something wrong with your brain?¡± Before Qin Zhen could say anything, Jia Qing rebuked first, ¡°She was the one who started first, and now she¡¯s reaping the consequences. She deserves it!¡± The girl was unconvinced, ¡°Isn¡¯t she fine? Moreover, if it weren¡¯t for Du Juan, she wouldn¡¯t have been the highlight of the show. Was there a need to keep holding onto that grudge? Then why didn¡¯t you refuse about being in the limelight? Everyone knows that being number one in the grade, good at studying, dancing, and being versatile is enough to inflate someone¡¯s ego!¡± ¡°Again, do you need to have your brain checked? It¡¯s like you¡¯re trying to say, it¡¯s not my fault if I beat you half to death, it¡¯s not like I kill you!¡± Jia Qing stood out in anger and greeted his teeth. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she was a girl, he would have punched her. ¡°You¡­ Unreasonable barbarians!¡± ¡°Sit back down.¡± Qin Zhen said and handed him a new set of written questions, ¡°Go study.¡± ¡°What a pretentious scheming b*tch!¡± The girl muttered and left in a huff. Jia Qing looked at the math questions in his notebook and felt a headache. He carefully looked at Qin Zhen, who was reading seriously, ¡°Zhenzhen, aren¡¯t you angry?¡± ¡°When a dog bites you, you can¡¯t bite back. Besides, I don¡¯t have time to argue with them. If this is the way they think, they will land themselves in trouble in the future. So why should I care?¡± When the other girls heard this, they were so angry that their faces tightened. By the time Ji Yueyue came to class with her books, Qin Zhen was already used to the stabbing glare, ¡°Which question you don¡¯t understand?¡± ¡°This one,¡± Ji Yueyue pointed at a question. Qin Zhen looked at it first. After she was clear about her thoughts, she explained the question to Ji Yueyue. ¡°Thank you, I understand now!¡± Ji Yueyue thanked her happily. Thinking of what had just happened, she bit her pen and whispered, ¡°Qin Zhen, don¡¯t mind their words. They¡¯re just jealous of you. They are nothing compared to you, so the only thing they could do is say mean things. They¡¯re just¡­ just uselessly throwing their anger at you!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Qin Zhen only smiled and said nothing. After school, He Guinian brought her to eat preserved plum ribs, which they occasionally eat. It tasted great. ¡°By the way, since you have no school on Saturday¡­¡± He Guinian began as he picked up some food, ¡°Is there anywhere you want to go?¡± Qin Zhen thought for a moment, ¡°I have plans. I¡¯m going out with a friend. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± He Guinian nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡­ -Saturday- Wu Ze was extremely anxious as he paced back and forth at home. He had said that he would fetch the Witch Doctor, but the Witch Doctor said there was no need. They would come over themselves. Thinking that the big boss probably didn¡¯t want to expose their identity, he didn¡¯t insist. However, it was almost noon now, and the Witch Doctor still hadn¡¯t arrived. Could they have changed their mind¡­? Did they regret agreeing to his commission? Or¡­ Was the money not enough? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, since the Witch Doctor said they would come, they will come.¡± He Guinian comforted him. After receiving confirmation from the Witch Doctor, Wu Ze quickly contacted He Guinian. All these years, He Guinian knew how worried he was about his sister¡¯s illness. And now, he was impatient and anxious. It was easy for him to let his imagination run wild. Finally, a taxi stopped in front of them. A person got out of the car. The person was wearing a loose black short-sleeved shirt and overalls, covering their figure. They wore a cap on their head and a phoenix-shaped mask on their face, all that he could see was their eyes. ¡°Are you the Witch Doctor?¡± Wu Ze asked excitedly. ¡°Yes,¡± Their voice was also too hoarse, and it was impossible to tell if they were a man or a woman. ¡°Where¡¯s the patient?¡± ¡°She¡¯s inside! Do you want to rest first, or¡­¡± Wu Ze enthusiastically said. ¡°Let¡¯s see the patient immediately,¡± Qin Zhen whispered. ¡°Okay!¡± Wu Ze led the way. Qin Zhen followed closely behind. When she passed by He Guinian, her breathing paused for a moment, but she quickly acted as if nothing happened. She knew that He Guinian was coming, so she spent the whole morning dressing herself up like this. She was confident that He Guinian would never recognize her. ¡°You guys go in first. I still have something to do and will come over later.¡± He Guinian said to Wu Ze, not paying attention to Qin Zhen. ¡­ The Wu family was also extremely nervous when they saw her come in. He saw a slender young girl lying on a white bed. Her limbs were so thin that they looked like skin and bones. She clutched her chest as though she was in pain. Her face was purple and red, seemingly having trouble breathing. She looked terrifying. Everyone from the Wu family surrounded Yun¡¯er anxiously. ¡°Doctors! Hurry up and think of a way! Why is she relapsing? She was fine yesterday!¡± A group of Chinese and Western doctors gathered together and gave Yun¡¯er a lot of medicine. However, Yun¡¯er¡¯s symptoms were still not alleviated. The doctors were sweating profusely and did not know what to do. They had never seen such strange symptoms before. When the illness acted up, it looked like she was suffering from asthma. However, they had been here for more than a month and had tried all kinds of methods to cure the young girl. But nothing they did seemed to help and only worsened her symptoms. It didn¡¯t seem like asthma! Wu Ze brought Qin Zhen over. When he heard them, his expression changed drastically. He knew that Yun¡¯er was sick again. ¡°Make way! Make way!¡± He grabbed Qin Zhen¡¯s arm and rushed forward. Everyone from the Wu family was currently feeling vexed. When they saw Wu Ze enter, their expressions were a little doubtful. ¡°Witch Doctor, master, please take a look at her condition.¡± Wu Ze was extremely anxious. Looking at Yun¡¯er¡¯s painful expression, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. Qin Zhen¡¯s gaze fell on the young girl on the bed and she was about to walk toward her¨C When suddenly, a tall man rushed out to stop her, ¡°Who are you? Wu Ze, you¡¯re too much. How dare you bring a stranger here!¡± Qin Zhen was dressed too strangely and the fact that she did not show her true face only added to their anxiety. One look and everyone could tell that she was not a good person. They naturally didn¡¯t feel at ease letting her get close to Yun¡¯er. Everyone stared at Qin Zhen vigilantly. Yun¡¯er was a healthy girl. If it wasn¡¯t for their carelessness, she wouldn¡¯t have suffered like this. Now, it was even harder for them to be at ease with a strange person near her. Especially when Wu Ze brought this unknown person! ¡°Uncle, I invited the Witch Doctor. They know a way to save Yun¡¯er!¡± Wu Ze said worriedly. When Wu Ze¡¯s second uncle, Wu Cunke, saw him, his expression only turned even darker. This kid still had some face to come. If it wasn¡¯t for him, Yun¡¯er wouldn¡¯t have lost her parents and become like this today. However, in the end, they could not see the affections they have for each other due to their resentment, ¡°Go back to where you found them! And you! You should immediately leave too!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Wu Ze pushed Qin Zhen and insisted that the Witch Doctor give it a try, ¡°Uncle, the Witch Doctor can really save Yun¡¯er!¡± ¡°Wu Ze, have you had enough?¡± Uncle Wu¡¯s patience had completely run out. Yun¡¯er¡¯s painful moans were like a knife stabbing into his heart, and Wu Ze was still causing trouble. ¡°That¡¯s right, Young Master Wu Ze. Please don¡¯t try anything too hastily. We are already discussing a solution!¡± The group of doctors also looked at Qin Zhen unkindly. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been discussing and studying all this time? We almost lost her because of your research! Are we still going to wait for you to study her illness?¡± Wu Ze glared at them coldly. Yun¡¯er¡¯s painful moans were in his ears, squeezing his heart. When he spoke to Uncle Wu again, his tone softened. ¡°Uncle, please let the Witch Doctor take a look first. I¡¯m not messing around. We can¡¯t just watch Yun¡¯er suffer like this.¡± Hearing this, the Wu family was a little moved. However, when they saw Qin Zhen¡¯s young appearance, they hardened their hearts. How could such a young person know anything about the medical field? ¡°Wu Ze, if you continue to cause trouble, I¡¯ll drag you out.¡± Uncle Wu¡¯s attitude was firm. He could not be blamed for judging a book by its cover. Qin Zhen did not look like a proper doctor at all. ¡°Wu Ze, if you really want what¡¯s best for Yun¡¯er, then stop fooling around. Look at what kind of person you¡¯ve brought!¡± Uncle Wu¡¯s son, Wu Hao, said. His expression was sinister, and he looked at Wu Ze as if he was looking at an enemy. ¡°That¡¯s right! You said they can cure her? Then I can still cure my own illness! If she can cure Yun¡¯er, I¡¯ll kick my head like a ball.¡± Wu Sui, Wu Hao¡¯s younger sister, also had a mean look on her face. Qin Zhen understood. Wu Ze seemed to be very unpopular with the Wu family because of an incident in the past. However, she was here to treat an illness, not to get involved in the Wu family¡¯s affairs. She knew that Yun¡¯er was not in good condition. ¡°If we don¡¯t treat her now, the patient will die.¡± Qin Zhen said seriously. It was obvious that the patient could not breathe. Hearing this, Wu Ze¡¯s face turned pale. He couldn¡¯t care less about anything else and pushed away Wu Hao and Wu Sui who were blocking his way. ¡°Witch Doctor, please treat her first!¡± Qin Zhen frowned and quickly took out a special sachet and placed it under Yun¡¯er¡¯s nose. ¡°Dad! Wu Ze had gone too far!¡± Wu Sui said angrily. She was almost pushed to the ground just now, and her hand was still hurting. ¡°Wu Ze! You¡¯re too reckless!¡± Uncle Wu was so angry that he ordered the servants, ¡°Throw Wu Ze and this stranger he brought out!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Wu Ze roared! The servants were so scared that they didn¡¯t dare to touch him. They could only focus on Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen¡¯s face also darkened. The servants were in a mess and none of them could calm down to see what was going on with Yun¡¯er, ¡°Are you still going to let me treat her?¡± She only helped him because Wu Ze was He Guinian¡¯s friend, but if the Wu family continued to be like this, there was no need for her to stay. ¡°Get out!¡± Wu Sui said loudly. The servants dragged Wu Ze and the ¡°stupid Witch Doctor¡± out of the room! At this moment, a group of people rushed in from outside, led by He Guinian. Seeing He Guinian, the Wu family¡¯s expression changed. He Guinian frowned when he saw Wu Ze being forcefully escorted out of the room. He Yi went forward and quickly helped Wu Ze. Uncle Wu was wary of He Guinian and did not dare to act rashly. ¡°Mr. He, this is our family matter. Please don¡¯t interfere.¡± He Guinian¡¯s attitude was a little cold when he said, ¡°The Witch Doctor was invited by Wu Ze with great difficulty. They have the ability to save Yun¡¯er. If anything happens, I¡¯ll take responsibility. Everyone is willing to stay here and watch. If you¡¯re not willing, then leave.¡± After He Guinian said that, the Wu family¡¯s faces darkened again. Their hearts were burning with anger. This was the Wu family¡¯s problem, what right did He Guinian have to make them leave? However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only endure it in the face of He Guinian. Qin Zhen looked at He Guinian, who was standing in the middle of the crowd but remained calm and composed. He was so handsome! His noble and domineering temperament showed her a side she never saw before. However, her gaze was too intense. He Guinian seemed to have sensed it and looked over. He Guinian had always been cold and distant in front of other people who were not Wu Ze and Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen felt her entire body tremble. She quickly retracted her gaze and focused on observing the patient¡¯s condition. After a while, she furrowed her brows. She wasn¡¯t a regular doctor, but people who make incense would always have some knowledge in Chinese medicine. She could conclude that Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t suffer from asthma. Her illness was very strange. ¡°When did she become like this?¡± She asked in a low voice.
