Chapter 225: Chapter 214 Pursuer (1) Chapter 225: Chapter 214 Pursuer (1) As she reached the school gate, Lu Jiaxin noticed quite a few people standing at the entrance, whispering to one another. She paid no mind to it and saw Feng Lihua heading her way.
Just at that moment, a man dressed in a pink suit blocked her way with a huge bunch of roses in his hands, “Miss Lu, my name is Bao Yingjie. The moment I saw you, I fell in love with you. These ninety-nine roses represent my unwavering love for you.”
Lu Jiaxin’s face turned dark. Unwavering love, my ass. Was this guy from an asylum?
Seeing him trying to shove the roses at her, Lu Jiaxin quickly stepped back. Soon, Feng Lihua stood in front of her.
Lu Jiaxin called out to Cui Zhihui, who had come out with her, “Zhihui, help me call the police.”
Bao Yingjie hurriedly explained, “Miss Lu, I’m telling the truth. I fell in love with you the moment I saw your photo, and I hope you’ll give me the chance to pursue you.”
Lu Jiaxin thought the man was an idiot, “If you’re going to act crazy, go home. This is a school.”
Policemen quickly arrived and the whole group was taken to the station. While giving her statement, Lu Jiaxin asked the officer fearfully, “Sir, is this man escaped from an asylum?”
The female officer taking her statement replied with a sympathetic face, “No, he’s the young master of the Bao family. He really does want to pursue you; it’s just that his method is a bit extreme.”
Feng Lihua wasn’t sure if she was genuinely scared or faking it and reminded her, “Miss Lu, I just saw that man calling a lawyer.”
Lu Jiaxin immediately called her own lawyer. Through the lawyer’s negotiation, Bao Yingjie apologized to Lu Jiaxin for today’s incident, but he said he would continue to try until she accepted him.
Lu Jiaxin was so angry she almost got physical, but she held back.
The next day after school, Bao Yingjie parked a silver Benz at the school entrance. Upon seeing Lu Jiaxin, he said with a sycophantic smile, “Miss Lu, I heard you don’t own a car and always rent one when you go out. This is the new car I just picked up today, a gift for our first meeting.”
After speaking, he handed over the car keys.
Feng Lihua looked at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz. Such a luxury car must be worth millions. This young master really went all out to chase after a beautiful girl.
“Sister Feng, step aside.”
Feng Lihua sighed inwardly, Lu Jiaxin wasn’t one for money; still, she couldn’t escape these cheesy pick-up tactics. And the onlookers all felt sorry, another flower seemed to have been uprooted by a pig.
Bao Yingjie’s lips curled in satisfaction; no woman could resist luxury cars and fancy gifts. To his surprise, Lu Jiaxin didn’t take the keys to the Benz, but instead grabbed his wrist, stepped forward with her right foot, and leaned her right shoulder under his right armpit. Ducking down, she used his forward momentum to flip him over onto the ground.
Bao Yingjie hit the ground hard, crying out in pain. The onlookers were stunned, having not expected the beautiful girl to suddenly turn fierce.
Lu Jiaxin, still feeling vindictive, kicked him hard while cursing, “Bastard, can’t you look in the mirror and see yourself? You hungry ghost in heat, you dare to even think about messing with this lady.”
Actually, Bao Yingjie wasn’t bad-looking, but having spent years amongst women, he was wan and weak, his complexion pale, as if he were floating when he walked. Who knew what diseases such a creature might carry—just another glance felt unclean.
Bao Yingjie’s driver was so shocked that he stood frozen. When he came to his senses, he quickly pulled Lu Jiaxin away, “Miss Lu, you could end up killing someone .”
Lu Jiaxin had measured restraint in her actions. As the old saying goes, “Good people don’t live long, but troublemakers last a thousand years,” trash like him isn’t so easy to kill.
Reeling from the pain, Bao Yingjie could no longer pay attention to Lu Jiaxin and loudly called for his driver to take him to the hospital.
Lu Jiaxin received her backpack from Cui Zhihui: “Thank you.”
Cui Zhihui was somewhat worried: “Sister Xin, I recognize that person, he’s the young master of the Bao Family’s third branch. You might run into trouble for hitting him.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “Don’t worry, if he’s not afraid of losing face by suing me, I’ll be happy to oblige him to the end. It’s getting late; you should head back quickly!”
She didn’t seek out trouble, but she wasn’t afraid of it either.
Cui Zhihui was very worried but knew she couldn’t be of much help, and so she left with a heavy heart.
After returning home, Lu Jiaxin washed her face and her tutor arrived. Feng Lihua saw her diligently attending the lesson; evidently, the earlier incident hadn’t affected her, a testament to her strong mental fortitude.
After the lesson, Lu Jiaxin called Su Heyuan, asking, “When can Xiaoxiao and Brother Gu come over?”
She had thought that having Feng Lihua and Xiaoxiao to protect her was sufficient, and Gu Wenfeng could help her with some business matters. But following today’s events, she urgently needed Xiaoxiao and Gu Wenfeng by her side. If either Xiaoxiao or Gu Wenfeng had been with her today, she would never have had to take action herself; either of them would have easily dealt with that bastard. Unlike Feng Lihua, who only held her back knowing Bao Yingjie’s identity, and even tried to smooth things over afterward.
Seeing her urgency, Su Heyuan inquired, “What happened?”
Lu Jiaxin briefly explained the situation.
Guessing that Lu Jiaxin would attract suitors, Su Heyuan had not anticipated such a foolish approach: “Do you know who he is?”
Lu Jiaxin explained Bao Yingjie’s identity: “A prominent family like the Bao Family won’t stoop to clashing with a young girl like me; they can’t afford to lose face. Big Brother Su, can you help me investigate whether this was a coincidence or if someone deliberately set me up?”
Su Heyuan promised he would look into it.
At six-thirty, Nie Zhan started packing up to leave the office when his phone rang.
The call was from Feng Qinglei, who immediately said upon answering, “Nie Zhan, I didn’t believe you when you said Little Chili wouldn’t want a fancy car or perfume gift, but it turns out you were right.”
Nie Zhan’s face instantly turned cold: “What happened?”
“Someone brought a luxury car to the school today to gift to Little Chili, but she not only refused the car, she also gave the guy a beating.”
Nie Zhan’s voice was icy as he asked, “Who was it?”
In Hong Kong, wealthy young masters chasing after beautiful women often gift flowers, perfumes, luxury cars, and even lavish houses. But anyone causing Lu Jiaxin to take action must have crossed the line.
Chuckling, Feng Qinglei said, “It was that Bao Yingjie guy. You wouldn’t know since you don’t hang out in nightclubs, but he’s into innocent and cute female students, always asking those women in nightclubs to wear school uniforms and play the student role. I guess that magazine cover made him fixate on Little Chili. Now the guy’s in the hospital, but once he’s out, he’ll probably be looking for trouble with Little Chili.”
He had previous beef with Bao Yingjie, and many people knew about it. As soon as Bao Yingjie got beaten, the news immediately reached him. He was both surprised and pleased: surprised that the girl his good buddy took a liking to had such a strong personality, and pleased that Bao Dachang had kicked an iron plate. With Nie Zhan there to protect her, Bao wouldn’t dare seek revenge on Little Chili. His beating would be for naught, and he would be the laughingstock of many.
