Women's Struggle to Change Their Destiny
Why Am I Not Brave?
Guan Tao shrunk his neck. Although he had a clear conscience, he could not help but blush when so many people surrounded him.
When the other girl who was with Yu Mengyao saw this, she sneered and said, “Where else can she get this? How could a poor girl afford such an expensive silk handkerchief? He must have stolen it!”
“No... I didn't steal it!” Guan Tao's eyes reddened in anxiety, and he quickly shook his head to deny it.
But what can he do? There were only a few people from South City in the first year, and everyone recognized them. The situation of the Guan Tao family was even more difficult than that of Jian Ai. At that moment, he could not tell where the expensive handkerchief had come from. Everyone thought he had stolen it.
“Oh, I can't say that he's such a person. He usually looks quite honest.”
“She's used to being poor, so her hands must be itchy after seeing such a good thing.”
“Ah, I did not have a good impression of the farmers from this Southern City from the very beginning. Now, their hands and feet are not clean. They have tarnished our Erzhong reputation as a noble school.”
The audience began to speak at once. When Guan Tao heard this, he immediately cried miserably and shook his head. “I didn't steal it. Previously..”
“What is it?” Yu Mengyao interrupted Guan Tao. He knew in his heart that it was Gao Yang's handkerchief, but he deliberately didn't say it because he wanted others to misunderstand and humiliate Guan Tao.
What right did this wild girl from the Southern City have to use Gao Yang's belongings? The more Yu Mengyao thought about it, the angrier she became. He immediately tightened his grip and scolded, “You're a thief, you're not admitting that you stole something.”
“Ah...” Guan Tao screams in pain. His other hand instinctively grabbed onto Yu Mengyao's hand. “I didn't steal it. Depart!”
Guan Tao fought back frantically, and his nails accidentally scratched Yu Mengyao's skin. Yu Mengyao inhaled a cold air of pain. “Mendesis..”.
Taking a closer look, Guan Tao's fingernails had scratched a bloody mark on the back of his hand. Yu Mengyao's eyes turned dark.
Guan Tao was also surprised. He didn't mean that.
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean.” Guan Tao apologized in panic, but the audience had already seen this scene.
“How come you don't know his shame? He grabbed Yu Mengyao's hand until it turned red. She's cruel.”
“It's true. He even pretended to be pathetic. That's disgusting.”
…
Guan Tao cried as he apologized, but Yu Mengyao was unwilling to listen. He immediately felt a burning pain on the back of his hand. A ferocious expression flashed across his eyes as he shouted, “You dare to attack me after stealing something!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Mengyao raised her right hand and waved it at Guan Tao's face.
Everyone seemed to be watching a good show. Yu Mengyao's family is amazing and her fierce character is famous in Erzhong. With this, Guan Tao would not succeed well in his hands, let alone fight back.
However, just as everyone was waiting for a slap, a slender and fair hand suddenly grabbed Yu Mengyao's arm in midair.
Everyone's breathing stopped. They focused their eyes and saw that Jian Ai had appeared at some point. He stood between Mengyao and Guan Tao with an indifferent expression. His thin body protected Guan Tao behind him, and his other hand tightly held Mengyao's hand.
“Jian Ai?” Yu Mengyao naturally recognized Jian Ai. He was astonished and wanted to pull his arm out, but it was as if a pair of pliers had clamped his arm so that he could not move.
Yu Mengyao panicked and scolded, “Pelacur, how dare you ..”
The slap!
Jian Ai's expression was indifferent. Before Mengyao finished speaking, she turned around and slapped Yu Mengyao in the face.
Then, he said coldly, “Why don't I dare?”
