Gao Jingpeng began selling clothes and every month, he would send a thousand bucks to his sister as pocket money. Zhou Li initially didn’t know the truth and really thought, as her brother said, that he had found a good job and was earning a lot of money, so she didn’t save much. Not until the third month of school, while she was shopping, did she accidentally see her brother selling clothes. Her heart was filled with both emotion and guilt. At that moment, when the siblings met, the brother’s eyes turned red with unshed tears, while the sister’s cheeks were washed with them.
After that, Zhou Li never wasted a single penny and made a determined effort to improve herself. In just one year, she became the top student in her class, obtained her first scholarship, and lightened her brother’s burden quite a bit. Her academic achievements also made her a key student the school nurtured, drawing the attention of many teachers. Therefore, even though bullies like Huang Xiaojun liked her, they didn’t dare go too far, since the teachers were looking out for her.
Zhou Li was very clear about what kind of person Huang Xiaojun was. Though he didn’t dare to be too outrageous at school, he would often boast in class about mixing with a local Boss. This Black Boss, named Lei Hu, had quite a bit of clout in the East City District of Baiyun City. Both the underworld and the respectable society gave him face. If he ever ran into trouble, he claimed that just one call to Lei Hu would bring a few carloads of people to the school, ready to deal with whoever he wanted.
Thinking about her brother, who was now disabled, Zhou Li feared the consequences if they really irritated Huang Xiaojun; they were beyond imagination.
About this, Zhou Li felt both anger and fear, and tears streamed down her face. Just as she was about to agree to Huang Xiaojun’s request to go out for a meal with him, suddenly, two oblivious fools walked right up and stopped next to her. If they had continued moving forward, they would’ve bumped into Huang Xiaojun. Fortunately, the two men halted in front of him.
Huang Xiaojun also widened his eyes, staring at the two boys in front of him. He recognized one of them—it was Zhao Xiaotian from Class Two of the senior year. Immediately, he froze, thinking, "Has this kid gone crazy? He’s usually as timid as a mouse, and today he has the gall to mess with me?" He wanted to laugh out of sheer irritation. Then his rage skyrocketed as he glared at Zhao Xiaotian and pushed him on the shoulders while cursing, "Zhao Xiaotian, am I invisible to you? Do you think you’ve grown some balls now? Dare to meddle in my business, believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death!"
Zhao Xiaotian’s heart raced. He had no intention of getting involved with the matter here. He had originally signaled Leng Xuan to walk around, but Leng Xuan stopped, and although they were more than ten meters apart, by listening intently, he understood the rough outline of the situation. How could he tolerate a few boys bullying a weak girl? So he walked straight over there. Zhao Xiaotian was shocked at first and tried to pull Leng Xuan back, but Leng Xuan moved quickly and, having no other choice, he had to pluck up the courage to follow. However, he had absolutely no intention of provoking Huang Xiaojun, as he was quite afraid of thugs like him. Brothers, continue to give it your all, yeah?
