40 It's Over, I'm Afraid That This Toad Does Not Stand A Chance!

Jiao Yu said sternly as she slapped Wen Taohua, "Since your mouth stinks, let me cleanse it for you!"

Her slaps were forceful and she did not spare any thoughts for Wen Taohua at all. She only stopped when she was done slapping the girl a total of twelve times.

Jiao Yu looked straight at Wen Taohua with a cold expression. Her voice sounded a second before hers. "In the future, if I hear your mouth spouting nonsense again, it won't be as simple as twelve slaps!"

"You!"

At that instant, Jiao Yu grabbed Wen Taohua's clothes and pulled her towards herself. She whispered in her ear, "Wen Taohua, with my family background, it would only take a few words for me to deal with someone. Do you… want to give it a try?"

"You… I…"

The calm but hair-raising whisper made Wen Taohua's eyes widen in shock.

When they were on the train a few days ago, she had never heard Jiao Yu mention her family background. Hence, no one in their group knew anything about that.

If Jiao Yu's family background was really so powerful, wouldn't she be… finished?

Most importantly, she had missed an opportunity to be connected with someone who had an influential background.

With this thought in mind, Wen Taohua was instantly afraid and annoyed. She was afraid that Jiao Yu would really get someone to teach her a lesson and make things difficult for her. She was also annoyed at herself for not keeping her cool.

She should have waited a few more days before finding trouble with Gu An'an. This way, she wouldn't have offended Jiao Yu.

It had to be said that Wen Taohua really liked to live in an illusion. Didn't she know what kind of person she was? Did she think that everyone was as stupid as her?

"This…"

With a mocking look, Jiao Yu said bluntly to her, "Put away your thoughts. You are not fit to be

my friend. Do you understand?"

When her thoughts were exposed by the other party, Wen Taohua's face quickly turned red. However, she didn't dare to speak out in anger, which made her feel like her chest was about to explode with frustration.

However, to her surprise, there were even more infuriating words waiting for her.

Jiao Yu turned her head and glanced in Gu An'an's direction. After retracting her gaze, she said, "By the way, Gu An'an is my friend now. She will be under my protection in the future. If you dare to harbor any ill intentions on her, hehe…"

With that, she let go of Wen Taohua's clothes and clapped her hands before returning to her seat.

Her expression had returned to normal, but she was crying in her heart.

"Damn!"

"It really hurts!"

That woman's skin was thicker than a city wall and it had a surprising elasticity when she slapped her. She might have derived much satisfaction from hitting her, but her hands had also turned red as a result.

"Boohoo…"

She felt like she was at the losing end.

Jiao Yu's expression could fool everyone else who was present, but it couldn't fool the experienced Gu An'an. Hence, she reached out and grabbed Jiao Yu's right hand to massage it a few times, while asking softly, "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

"Huh?"

Jiao Yu was a bit stunned at first, but after regaining her senses, she quickly checked and realized that her palm, which was burning in pain just moments ago, was now feeling fine.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? It's fine now! There's no pain anymore."

As she spoke, she carefully felt her palm again and noticed that although it still looked slightly red, the sensation of pain was gone.

Jiao Yu held onto Gu An'an's arm in surprise and asked her softly, "An'an, did you apply some special technique? It feels so miraculous. Just a gentle massage and the pain in my hand is gone!"

As her voice was very soft, the two girls naturally had to stand very close together. Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by Zhao Mingyu who had just arrived at the dormitory in a rush.

…

"What the hell!"

His future wife had been taken away by someone else?

Is it appropriate for the two girls to have their heads so close to each other? And why is that newbie holding her hand?

Squinting at the scene in the courtyard, Zhao Mingyu was finding it too uncomfortable to watch. How he wished to rush over immediately and separate those two bothersome hands. He wanted to tell her that no one was allowed to touch Gu An'an's hands before he won the heart of his wife.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the guts to do so.

Zhao Mingyu stood there in frustration while the aura on his body underwent a subtle change. "The surroundings feel a little cold," This was what Zhao Mingyu's two good brothers and their mother Chen Guizhi were thinking at that instant.

"Fourth Brother, do you feel that the air has suddenly turned cold?" Zhao Yongjun rubbed his arms in confusion and touched Zhao Mingyu's wrist.

Hearing this, Zhao Mingyu quickly hid the emotions in his eyes and glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. Then, his lips curled into a roguish smile. "Are you cold? Shall I go back and bring you a brazier?"

"No… there's no need…"

Zhao Yongjun was tongue-tied. He looked at Zhao Mingyu in surprise and thought to himself, "Fourth Brother's tone sounded a little strange."

It felt a little cold and flirtatious.

However, he could only voice these comments silently in his heart. He didn't dare to say these words in front of Zhao Mingyu, as his fists were as strong and hard as steel. One punch from him could leave him crippled, if not dead.

Zhao Dachuan, who was standing at the side, looked up at Zhao Mingyu and frowned involuntarily. He also detected something that was different about Fourth Brother Zhao today. The aura on his body felt a little different from his usual self.

Among the few of them, only Chen Guizhi, who truly knew the situation, felt the corners of her mouth twitch. She stared unblinkingly at the little girl sitting in the courtyard. As she looked at her, the smile on her face became wider.

Oh gosh! Her youngest son truly had discerning taste!

The little girl had a fair complexion and she looked so delicate and dainty. While sitting quietly in a corner, she totally looked like a little fairy.

Especially when she smiled, she looked so beautiful that even a woman like Chen Guizhi, who was a few decades old, was completely mesmerized!

"Oh my, this is bad, this is really really bad." It seemed that her old man was right. "My son is a toad who is lusting after swan meat. It's an impossible dream!"

"Moreover, he's a black toad at that."

Looking at this little educated youth, whose face was as fair as snow. She then looked at her youngest son. His face was so dark that it resembled the soot at the base of a pot. And his skin was thick and rough, standing beside the girl, he was simply…

One was an ugly, dark, and delusional toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and the other was a white swan who was prettier than a little fairy.

If she was the girl, she would rather remain single than settle for a toad demon.

In short, after seeing the female educated youth in person, Mrs. Zhao had already devalued her youngest son in her heart.
