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

Zhao Rou's face flushed bright red in an instant.

Although Yu Chuang likes to get something for nothing, he was even more furious when he saw the duck that was about to be eaten fly away.

Pointing at Chen Ming, he cursed viciously:

"Don't you always follow Zhao Rou around like a shadow?"

"Why are you suddenly acting like a virtuous and chaste woman?"

"The goddess has taken pity on you, so why don't you hurry up and fawn over her?"

Before Yu Chuang could finish speaking, whispers immediately arose from the surrounding crowd:

"Yeah, what's gotten into Chen Ming today?"

"But Zhao Rou is really something, I'm afraid she's after Chen Ming's family's two stinking coins."

"My God, it's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."

................

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rou felt even more ashamed. She turned her head and sobbed as she slipped out of the crowd, it was unclear whether she was truly crying or faking it.

Yu Chuang had originally planned to teach the other party a lesson, but seeing his goddess run away, he quickly chased after her.

Li Yu couldn't help but pat Chen Ming on the shoulder:

"Brother, you're really lucky with the ladies."

At this moment, Chen Ming had leisurely filled two boxes with food, stuffing one of them into Li Yu's arms:

"Do you want this good fortune?"

Li Yu chuckled but didn't answer.

After finally getting out of school, Chen Ming walked along while discussing with Li Yu about dealing in crucian carp fry.

But after walking only a few steps, he realized something was wrong.

I'm being followed!

Let them go!

That person also left.

Stop!

The man immediately followed suit, looking around.

After a moment's thought, Chen Ming immediately understood, and continued walking forward without changing his expression.

There's an alleyway ahead, perfect for getting cornered.

So, humming a song, he swayed his head and walked into the enemy's ambush.

"stop--"

As expected, Yu Chuang appeared in front of the two men with several thugs, and the figures immediately blocked his retreat.

Chen Ming glanced at them; he recognized these people to some extent.

In the past, these were all Yu Chuang's lackeys, calling him "Brother Zhou" this and "Brother Zhou" that just to swindle money from him.

Later, after Yu Chuang and Zhao Rou got together, these guys indirectly took a lot of money and antiques from me.

Chen Ming stopped in his tracks, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Oh, are you going to stand up for the goddess?"

Yu Chuang waved the stick in his hand:

"Apologize to Zhao Rou!"

"Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!"

Chen Ming raised his head and glanced at Zhao Rou, who was crying her eyes out to the side.

That woman.

That guy's really good at pretending.

If I hadn't died once, I would never have known that this seemingly pitiful woman was actually as venomous as a scorpion.

"What if I don't?"

Chen Ming raised his head defiantly.

Yu Chuang had just boasted to the goddess that he would definitely teach Chen Ming a lesson, but unexpectedly, before it even started, he lost the battle of wills.

However, before he could say anything, Zhao Rou jumped out first, her face flushed red:

"Chen Ming, I'll forgive you as long as you apologize to me."

“I know you care about me. You did this because you saw Yu Chuang massaging my feet this morning.”

"You're jealous, aren't you?"

Chen Ming was dumbfounded:

This woman's thought process is truly extraordinary.

I can't believe I used to be her devoted lapdog for over a decade without any regrets. I really want to slap myself.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming sneered:

"It's okay. Even if you two sleep in the same bed tonight, I won't be jealous, let alone massage your legs."

That's the truth.

You see, these two shameless guys used to do this right in front of him, and he'd had enough of it.

Zhao Rou hadn't expected him to say that, and she couldn't understand why Chen Ming had suddenly become such a different person.

Enraged, she pointed at Chen Ming's nose and yelled:

"You're going to get what's coming to you, Yu Chuang, beat him up."

"Beat them to death, cripple them, cripple them."

Upon receiving the goddess's order, Yu Chuang was overjoyed.

The thought that he could get away with not spending a penny and maybe even sleep with his goddess tonight filled Yu Chuang with a surge of energy.

"Brothers, come on."

"The one who plays the hardest gets to have their drinks on me tonight."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yu quickly stepped in front of Chen Ming:

"Yu Chuang, what kind of skill is it for you guys to take on one person!"

Yu Chuang glared at him: "Li Yu, this is none of your business, get out of the way!"

Chen Ming was somewhat touched and gently patted Li Yu on the shoulder: "Brother, thank you, but I'll handle this myself."

After saying that, he pulled Li Yu away and sneered:

"Just you?"

"They probably won't even be able to get a hot bowl of shit!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Chuang had already swung his stick and brought it down on his head. The force of this blow was definitely driven by his personal grudge.

Chen Ming remained calm and, with a swift movement, delivered a powerful whip kick that sent Yu Chuang flying.

Before anyone else could react, Chen Ming had already rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind, knocking down all the men Yu Chuang had brought with him in a flurry of punches and kicks.

The entire process was smooth and efficient.

Chen Ming clapped his hands in satisfaction, looking at the group of guys howling and wailing on the ground, and thought:

"The Taekwondo I learned in my past life by paying a lot of money for private one-on-one lessons really worked. The money wasn't wasted."

Chen Ming fought with great gusto, leaving Zhao Rou, who was watching from afar, utterly dumbfounded.

Is this still the same Chen Ming who only knows how to please himself?

How come she never noticed before that Chen Ming was so manly?

Compared to that greasy guy Yu Chuang, Chen Ming was dozens of times more handsome in her eyes. Why did she always string him along before?

A man who is both rich and domineering is someone I should get my hands on as soon as possible.

Just as Chen Ming was about to leave, Zhao Rou, disregarding any semblance of modesty, immediately ran forward to block his path.

"Chen Ming, don't go."

"You hurt me in front of so many people, aren't you even a little bit sad?" Zhao Rou said, clutching Chen Ming's sleeve tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Heh." Chen Ming laughed coldly, shaking off her hand without any mercy.

“Zhao Rou, I was blind before,” Chen Ming continued, his tone full of disdain, “that’s why I fawned over you and made you really think of yourself as a goddess.”

"Go back and look in the mirror when you have time."

Zhao Rou stood there, her face turning red and white in turns.

"Chen Ming, I was wrong in the past. Please forgive me this time, okay?" Zhao Rou's eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.

Chen Ming looked at the other person, and his originally calm heart trembled slightly.

In the past ten years or so, Zhao Rouke had never treated herself like this.

He turned his face away, and after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence:

"Stop bothering me."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving Zhao Rou standing there alone.
