After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

He sneered, his tone filled with undisguised mockery:

"Zhao Rou, your story-making skills are getting better and better. Jealousy?"

"Do you really think I'm stupid? If you really cared about Zhang Lingqian, would you have hired Qi Wenxuan and his gang of thugs to intimidate her? Do you think I don't know what kind of person Qi Wenxuan is?"

Chen Ming paused deliberately, his sharp gaze sweeping over Zhao Rou's deathly pale face, before continuing:

"You want him to find Zhang Lingqian a job? You don't care whether Zhang Lingqian has a job or not, you just want to get rid of her so you can have a chance to get close to me! Am I right?"

The classmates, who were initially somewhat hesitant, felt that Zhao Rou's words made some sense.

After all, "a woman dresses up for the man she loves."

But now, after hearing Chen Ming say this, and recalling Qi Wenxuan's infamous reputation, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

That Zhao Rou, she really has the heart of a snake!

Zhao Rou's face turned pale and then red. She hadn't expected Chen Ming to expose her so ruthlessly in front of the whole class.

Her carefully crafted innocent image collapsed at that moment.

She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but couldn't find a reason to refute the other party.

Chen Ming was telling the truth; all her lies paled in comparison to the irrefutable evidence.

"I..." Zhao Rou bit her lip, her eyes reddening, looking like she was about to cry.

Chen Ming remained unmoved, coldly interrupting her:

"Stop acting, Zhao Rou. From today onwards, we have nothing to do with each other!"

"From now on, don't bother me or anyone around me again! Otherwise..."

"Chen Ming, how...how could you do this to me?" Zhao Rou's voice trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, a hint of threat in his voice, "I won't be as easy to talk to as before."

The air around them seemed to freeze; the students dared not breathe, for fear of getting into trouble.

They hadn't expected Chen Ming to be so resolute.

Is this still the same Chen Ming who was completely devoted to Zhao Rou?

Zhao Rou finally couldn't hold back her tears and said, choking back sobs:

"Chen Ming, are you... are you really going to be so heartless? I... I just..."

"Shut up!" Chen Ming interrupted her impatiently.

"Stop acting! Your tears are cheaper than tap water to me! Get out!"

Zhao Rou couldn't stay any longer. She covered her face, cried, and ran out of the classroom.

Seeing this, Li Yu winked and moved closer to Chen Ming, whispering:

"Great job, bro! But are you really willing to give up Zhao Rou, the school beauty? Lots of guys are lining up to be her simp!"

Chen gave him a look and said irritably, "Simps never get what they deserve! If you like them, go ahead and lick them!"

Li Yu quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I don't have that kind of luck. But speaking of which, what are you planning to do next? Zhao Rou definitely won't let this go."

Chen Ming sneered: "We'll meet force with force and water with water. I want to see what other tricks she can pull."

Li Yu was still going on and on about Zhao Rou's next revenge tactics, but Chen Ming waved his hand impatiently:

"Alright, alright, stop jinxing me. Whatever, do you think I'm afraid of a green tea bitch like her?"

Despite saying this, Chen Ming knew in his heart that Zhao Rou was a vengeful woman who would not let things go easily.

He needs to prepare early to avoid being caught off guard.

Having been reborn, he had no intention of repeating the same mistakes.

......

As evening fell, the setting sun painted half the sky red. Chen Ming stood by his fishpond, waiting for Zhang Lingqian to come over.

We had arranged to teach her some fish-keeping techniques today. This girl is diligent and eager to learn, and Chen Ming is happy to guide her.

But after waiting and waiting, almost half an hour had passed since the agreed time, and Zhang Lingqian still hadn't arrived.

"Could something have happened to this girl?" Chen Ming felt a little uneasy and decided to go out and look for her.

Meanwhile, on the path leading to the fishpond, Zhang Lingqian stood trembling in front of a group of thugs.

Leading the group was none other than Yu Chuang, the man who struck fear into the hearts of all. At that moment, he was staring at Zhang Lingqian with a lewd grin, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.

"Little sister, you must be Zhang Lingqian? You're quite pretty." Yu Chuang said, reaching out to touch Zhang Lingqian's face.

Zhang Lingqian was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, asking in terror, "What...what do you want to do?"

"What for? Hehe, of course I'm letting you know that some people are not to be trifled with! If you know what's good for you, get out of this fishpond right now and don't go near Chen Ming again, otherwise..."

Yu Chuang paused deliberately, his tone full of threat.

Zhang Lingqian then realized that these people were sent by Zhao Rou!

She was both angry and scared, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She didn't understand why Zhao Rou was treating her like this when she just wanted to work hard.

"I...I didn't provoke her, I just..." Zhang Lingqian's words were interrupted rudely by Yu Chuang.

"Enough talk! Get her!" Yu Chuang gave the order, and several thugs immediately surrounded her and began tearing at Zhang Lingqian's clothes.

"Ah! Help! Help me!" Zhang Lingqian cried out in despair, but no one could hear her cries for help.

At this critical moment, Chen Yitian appeared.

He was patrolling the fishpond when he heard Zhang Lingqian's cries for help. Seeing this, he was instantly enraged, grabbed a wooden stick, and rushed over.

"Stop! You bunch of beasts!" Chen Yitian roared as he swung his wooden stick, beating the thugs until they were forced to retreat.

"Old man, are you tired of living?" Seeing this, Yu Chuang rushed up, snatched the wooden stick from Chen Yitian's hand, and smashed it hard on his head.

Chen Yitian immediately collapsed to the ground, his head bleeding profusely.

Blood flowed slowly down his forehead, staining the ground beneath his feet.

Zhang Lingqian was terrified. She struggled and cried out desperately, but to no avail.

"You old geezer, mind your own business!" Yu Chuang spat and kicked Chen Yitian in the stomach.

"Hit me hard!"

Upon receiving the order, the thugs became even more unrestrained in their punching and kicking.

Zhang Lingqian closed her eyes in despair.

Just then, a figure rushed over like lightning and kicked Yu Chuang, who was beating Chen Yitian, flying.

"Stop!" Chen Ming roared and charged into the crowd.

He grabbed one of the thugs by the hair, slammed him to the ground, and then punched him so hard that the thug's nose bled profusely.

"Chen Ming! You fucking dare to hit my man?" Yu Chuang got up from the ground and pointed at Chen Ming, cursing loudly.

Chen Ming didn't even glance at him, continuing to beat up the thugs.

These guys usually bully the weak and fear the strong; they'd never seen anything like this before. They were beaten so badly they cried for their parents and ran away in terror.
