Rebirth, the domineering president's unbridled love

Chapter 67 You Really Know How to Settle Accounts

“Hey… do you have any conscience? I risked my own life to save you, but you just left without even looking back, totally disregarding my life or death! Ouch… Ouch… My legs hurt so much… I feel like they’re going to break… Qiao Jingyu, you are simply a cold-blooded, heartless woman!”

At this moment, Qiao Jingyu's heart was burning with rage, and she turned a deaf ear to Jiang Mubai's shouts behind her. She wanted to run immediately, rushing forward in two steps at a time. At the same time, blood kept flowing out of her nostrils, but she did not look up to stop the bleeding, but let the blood stain her face red. As she walked quickly, she cursed herself fiercely in her heart: "Qiao Jingyu, Qiao Jingyu, you are such a stupid guy, you are still being kind here! You really deserve it, you deserve to be deceived by others, just like in your previous life, you didn't even know that your heart was replaced by someone else!"

Qiao Jingyu walked into the infirmary with blood all over her face. The doctor was really scared by her miserable appearance. He hurriedly came forward to support her, let her lie flat on the bed, and quickly took tools to wipe the blood off her face. Afterwards, the doctor carefully treated her wound and stopped the nosebleed. Seeing that Qiao Jingyu's face was a little pale, the doctor was worried that she was weak, so he asked her to rest for a while.

When Qiao Jingyu stepped out of the infirmary, she looked at her watch and it was already past five o'clock. At this time, the sun was setting, and the blood-red afterglow illuminated the sky, like a sad and beautiful painting.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly a voice sounded in Qiao Jingyu's ears. She turned around subconsciously and saw Jiang Mubai's lazy figure, leaning slightly against the wall, with his hands naturally inserted into his trouser pockets. His posture was elegant yet a bit unruly.

At this time, the setting sun was like blood, and the afterglow poured down, covering Jiang Mubai completely. The dim light outlined his well-defined face, making his already handsome features more three-dimensional and profound. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. This kind of beauty was like a dream, as unreal as a bubble, but it really existed before his eyes.

Qiao Jingyu had been resting in the infirmary for a while, and her mood gradually calmed down from her initial anger. Recalling the thrilling moment just now, if Jiang Mubai had not stepped forward at the critical moment, the consequences would be simply unimaginable - she might have been bruised and battered long ago, but even so, it could not be a reason for Jiang Mubai to deceive her.

The memories of her past life came flooding back to her mind. At that time, she was conspired by Song Chengze and Qiao Jingshan. Not only did her heart get replaced, but she also died of hatred after witnessing their dirty deeds and ruthless deception. The deep hatred had already taken root in the depths of Qiao Jingyu's soul, making her unable to tolerate anyone deceiving her again.

Qiao Jingyu only glanced at it lightly, and then quickly looked away, as if it was just an insignificant existence, and then continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. However, in the next moment, she suddenly felt a force tightly grasping her wrist, forcing her to stop.

"I was just... just joking with you, really, I didn't expect to scare you like this, I'm sorry..." Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with a hint of panic and nervousness that was difficult to conceal. You know, a guy like him with a superior family background, arrogant and conceited, may have never said "sorry" to anyone. At this moment, when these three heavy words came out of his mouth, they seemed so stiff and awkward, as if every syllable had gone through thousands of struggles and entanglements before it came out with difficulty.

Qiao Jingyu could not help but feel very surprised. She had never expected that this arrogant man would bow his head and admit his mistakes. Then, her eyes slowly fell and fixed on the big hand that tightly grasped her wrist. The hand was trembling slightly, as if revealing the owner's inner uneasiness. Qiao Jingyu frowned slightly and said softly, "Let go of my hand first."

Hearing this, Jiang Mubai woke up from his dream and realized that he was still holding Qiao Jingyu's wrist tightly. His face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple, and even his ears were flushed with shyness. Although Jiang Mubai always looked cynical and suave, in fact, in the world of love, he was like a pure and flawless white paper with no experience at all. At this moment, he had no idea how to deal with this embarrassing situation, so he could only let go of his hand helplessly.

Not sure if he wanted to cover up his indescribable embarrassment and discomfort, he casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it. As the smoke slowly rose, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I just saved you, so now I can settle the matter of you getting hurt before."

Qiao Jingyu frowned slightly, raised her hand and waved it gently, trying to disperse the wisps of smoke that were floating in front of her eyes. She stared at the other person with her clear eyes, and said with a hint of anger in her tone: "What about you lying to me just now? How should I settle it?"

Jiang Mubai thought for a moment, and then responded: "During the exam a few days ago, when Zhao Xinxin bullied you, I helped you. How about you use it to offset the time I lied to you?"

Listening to Jiang Mubai's words, Qiao Jingyu said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "As expected of the heir of the Jiang family, you are also very good at settling accounts?!"

Facing Qiao Jingyu's complaints, Jiang Mubai just smiled slightly, and that smile was as bright, warm and pleasant as the spring sun.

Then, Qiao Jingyu began to scan Jiang Mubai's body, as if trying to see through his appearance to see his true condition. She asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Jiang Mubai had been in the same position for a long time, leaning against the wall, as if he had merged into the wall. The hand that was originally in his pocket felt a sharp pain, as if thousands of needles were piercing him at the same time. But even so, Jiang Mubai's handsome face still had a charming smile that could make thousands of girls fall in love with him. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a playful and teasing tone: "Are you concerned about me?"

Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu rolled her eyes at him unhappily, thinking to herself that this guy was really narcissistic. She snorted and replied mercilessly, "I don't want to bother with you." After that, she turned around and walked forward with big strides.

Seeing this, Jiang Mubai hurriedly caught up, shouting, "Hey, wait for me! What do you like to drink? It's my treat today!" As he spoke, he quickened his pace, trying to catch up with Qiao Jingyu.
