Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Run, Legs, Run

The next second, she was sent flying by a kick.

She landed with a THUD, kicking up a cloud of dust, accompanied by a deafening scream.

The neighbors’ eyes widened in astonishment.

Good heavens, that had to hurt just watching it.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed Fu Mingxue was that strong.

No one stepped forward to help Bai Siqi.

She totally deserved it.

Shouldn’t she have been the one to lie low? But no, she just had to prance around in front of her—

If she wasn’t asking for a kick, who was?

Tears streamed down Bai Siqi’s face as she wailed in pain—she felt like she had broken a bone in her back.

’Mom, it hurts so bad!’

Speak of the devil, Mrs. Bai’s shriek cut through the air. "—Siqi!"

She ran over and knelt beside Bai Siqi, wailing dramatically, "Siqi, my dear Siqi, what’s wrong—"

"Mom, it hurts. I think my bone is broken—" Bai Siqi sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"What? A broken bone?" Mrs. Bai was incredulous.

Then she stood up and shot a ferocious glare at Fu Mingxue.

"Fu Mingxue, you bitch! What gives you the right to hit my daughter?"

Fu Mingxue raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Because she was asking for it, of course! I’ve never seen someone who’s done something wrong not hide away, but instead insist on showing up right in front of me. What, are you hoping to ruin me a few more times?"

"Or what, are you just not happy until you’ve managed to steal my university acceptance letter from me?"

"Can’t you just take the exam yourself? If you don’t have the brains for it, what’s the point of stealing someone else’s spot at university? Do you really think that if you can’t even handle high school, you’ll suddenly understand university lectures?"

Bai Siqi: ...?

Her face alternated between pale and ashen.

’It’s true, I really can’t understand it.’

’I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all.’

And with that, she charged at Bai Siqi and her mother, rolling pin held high.

Mrs. Bai, terrified by this display, turned tail and ran.

She completely forgot about her daughter, caring only about saving her own skin.

After all, she knew all too well that the madwoman, Xu Zifeng, would actually dare to hit her.

Bai Siqi was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t believe her mother had just abandoned her and run off.

Seeing Fu Mingxue’s mother swing the rolling pin, about to bring it down on her, she scrambled to her feet in a flash and ran—

Mrs. Fu chased after her, swinging the rolling pin. "Don’t run! Stand still and let me smash your bones! I’m not afraid of going to jail—"

Hearing this, and especially the sound of footsteps chasing her from behind, Bai Siqi ran even faster.

’God, this is so damn scary.’

’Move, you useless legs, move—’
