The Reborn CEO Jiang Is Also Acting Coquettishly Today - Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Jiang Zhixia threw away the trash, bought a lollipop, and sauntered back while listening to music and swinging an earphone cord.
As she passed the secluded small alley, she saw three heads of brightly colored hair shining in the sunset from afar—there was no helping it, dyed hair was truly conspicuous. Back in university, during large lectures, a student with dyed hair could never dream of having someone answer roll call for them. The teacher only had to glance over to know you hadn’t come. One could say the attention value was at its max.
It looked like a fight was happening. Jiang Zhixia pressed her tongue against her upper palate, feeling that she was a bit jinxed—encountering little delinquents looking for trouble twice in one day. Oh, and once was specifically to corner her.
She swung her earphone cord and wobbled forward.
“Hey, what a coincidence, senior, we meet again,” Jiang Zhixia leaned in and greeted them, only then seeing that the person standing in the middle was a familiar face.
Jiang Zhixia’s anger flared up instantly.
Motherfker, even during my wildest days, I never dared to corner and bully Cheng Xi like this.
The person in front actually turned around and cursed with a sidelong glance: “This is none of your business, Jiang Zhixia. Give me some face and shove off”. Lin Su didn’t find Jiang Zhixia particularly pleasing to the eye. One mountain cannot hold two tigers, and she didn’t like others standing beside her. It just so happened that others considered Jiang Zhixia to be a boss on the same level as her. Although Jiang Zhixia’s reputation in the underworld wasn’t prominent, it vaguely added a touch of mystery to her. This made Lin Su very unhappy.
“Who are you, ‘big sister’?” Jiang Zhixia had long forgotten who the girl in front of her was, only seeing Cheng Xi in the middle of the crowd with an expression of having been bullied. Her black pearl-like eyes were watery, and though clearly terrified, her thin body was still held bolt upright, protecting the person behind her.
Flicking the lollipop in her hand away, the expression on Jiang Zhixia’s face became increasingly radiant as she said, “Xixi, why did you come here to play? Come over here”. She naturally pulled Cheng Xi over, tucking her behind herself. “That student, the ground is dirty, get up yourself”.
The girl on the ground was stunned for a moment and cautiously moved back a little.
“Jiang Zhixia, don’t refuse face when it’s given.” Lin Su felt her dignity was being challenged. She raised her hand, wanting to throw a slap.
“Aiya, ‘big sister,’ don’t be impulsive. Such a good-looking little girl, fighting and killing is no good,” Jiang Zhixia’s voice was soft and gentle, yet the hand gripping Lin Su’s arm wouldn’t let go at all. Zhou Jing, watching from the side, felt a sympathetic toothache for her.
“Jing-jie, should we…” a red-haired girl gestured.
“No, let’s watch the show.” Zhou Jing chose to quietly be a member of the gossip crowd.
“I fucking.” Lin Su opened her mouth with a string of curses. Jiang Zhixia impatiently picked at her ear, while simultaneously kicking away two girls who came to help.
“Senior, what’s going on? Our Xixi is so well-behaved, how did she offend this ‘little friend’s’ eyes?”
Zhou Jing, watching the person in front treat these few girls like monkeys, found it a bit hard to look at: “Oh, apparently she snatched a boyfriend”. After saying it, she felt like a total idiot for answering so obediently.
Cheng Xi, who was pulled behind Jiang Zhixia, didn’t speak. After all, this person had also targeted her for a long time because she thought Cheng Xi had seduced the boy she liked. (Actually, it wasn’t… well, you could say it was because of a man). Therefore, she didn’t think Jiang Zhixia would defend her, even though this person had been acting like a different personality these past few days. According to her thoughts, directly spectating would be Jiang Zhixia’s most likely course of action.
“Pfft—” Jiang Zhixia’s mouth twitched.
“Big sister, you’re in the wrong here. Look at our Xixi’s face, don’t you have any fking idea whether she needs to snatch someone else’s boyfriend?”
Cheng Xi, who was watching coldly from behind, looked up at her with some bewilderment.
“You’ve completely found the wrong person. You should grab your boyfriend and ask him what’s going on. Break up if you should, beat him if you should. Why are you looking for our Xixi? Sigh, one can only blame beauty for being a mistake. Xixi is helplessly and utterly in the wrong. You should be understanding about this, even if you might not be able to empathize”.
Lin Su’s face turned purple with rage: “If she hadn’t seduced Zhao Yang, would Zhao Yang look at her? Just you wait. Do you think you can hide for a moment and hide for a lifetime? I can have a hundred ways to teach you both a lesson”.
“Hey, perhaps you’ve never experienced it, but who could pass by Xixi without looking at her? Big sister, you have a lot of fire. Behaving like this will only make it so no one looks at you. Relax a bit.” While she tightened her grip on the other’s wrist, her face remained calm and breezy.
Fighting with little friends truly offered no sense of achievement. The reason for the fight also offered no sense of achievement at all. Just as Jiang Zhixia was sighing, the little girl next to Lin Su swung a stick over.
Yo-ho, thanks to my current 5.0 vision. Jiang Zhixia spun Lin Su around, not forgetting to shield Cheng Xi behind her, and raised her leg to give the rushing opponent a kick.
Wow, too tragic to look at. Jiang Zhixia licked her teeth and decided to teach the other party what fighting was.
“Hey, Jiang Zhixia—” Cheng Xi behind her tugged at her hem, opening her mouth to speak.
“Don’t worry, Xixi.” Jiang Zhixia pushed her further back and narcissistically threw a wink.
A few minutes later:
The girl on the ground heard the noise and cautiously looked up, only to see people sitting, lying, or sprawled all over the ground.
Jiang Zhixia gave the last person a kick and looked toward Zhou Jing’s trio who were watching the show.
Zhou Jing: “…I just came over to take a look”.
“I know,” Jiang Zhixia squinted her eyes and smiled radiantly. “A girl as domineering as senior clearly isn’t one of those ‘weak women'”.
“Big sisters, only weak women beat women. Truly powerful women beat men”.
Zhou Jing’s trio: …
The girls on the ground: …
Cheng Xi: …
Speechless.
“How were you planning to play?” Jiang Zhixia looked down.
Several girls pursed their lips and looked at Lin Su. Lin Su glared: “Jiang Zhixia, you just wait. You’d better be this arrogant every day”.
Jiang Zhixia ignored her and looked back at Cheng Xi: “Xixi, what did they corner you for?”
Cheng Xi, who had been protected behind Jiang Zhixia’s back the whole time, had a complicated heart, but her face was full of unease. Fear seemed ready to overflow from her voice: “They wanted to… say I am… a bitch… they wanted to teach me how to be a person… they wanted to…”
“Don’t say it, baby. Be good, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Jiang Zhixia frowned, suddenly remembering the context behind this matter. Her cynical posture finally couldn’t be maintained, and she wished she could gather the girl in front of her into her arms—just like the tenderness Cheng Xi gave when she hid in Cheng Xi’s arms and cried when the old man passed away in her past life. She wanted to bring this girl, who had trekked alone throughout her past life, into her protection.
This time you have me, Xixi.
Cheng Xi tightened her fingers in bewilderment, her slightly long nails sinking into her tender flesh. It was as if she had never heard such words from anyone before, and it actually made the fragility on her face look two percent more real: “Thank you, Jiang Zhixia.”
“Be good. Wait for me over there.” Jiang Zhixia regained her smiling appearance.
“Let me think, what methods are there to deal with ‘bad girls’? Stripping clothes? Pulling hair?” As Jiang Zhixia spoke, she reached out and began to manhandle Lin Su. The playful actions caused Lin Su’s face to be filled with humiliation, yet she was unable to resist because of Jiang Zhixia’s absolute combat power.
“I’ll fk your mother!!” Lin Su, who had been tyrannical from the beginning, finally showed three percent fear, her roaring voice full of hatred.
“Speak properly, I don’t mind teaching you how to be a person.” Jiang Zhixia increased the strength while pinching the other’s hand. If Fangfang were here, she would know that the few times Jiang Zhixia had fought, it was because the opponent had used that specific curse.
“If I throw you on the ground now, I can force you to take ‘naked photos,’ oh, I can slap you, and I can even stub out cigarettes on you. Dragging you by the hair for a distance works too. Would a female boss encounter such things and be as helpless and tearful as a weak little girl? Probably not, right?” Jiang Zhixia leaned close to Lin Su, feigning a move to pull at her pants.
Lin Su’s pupils wouldn’t stop dilating: “Fuck! Let go, let go, ah—”
“Oh, so you’re afraid? I thought for sure you wouldn’t be, since you can nonchalantly attack innocent girls like that. When using these methods to attack others, big sister, did you really not want to know what it feels like?” Jiang Zhixia tilted her head and smiled, watching the horror and anger revealed on Lin Su’s face.
“Xixi, come here.” Jiang Zhixia gestured for Cheng Xi to walk over.
“Look at her, does she look like a dog right now? She can’t even compare to your fingernails, so never be afraid.” Jiang Zhixia squeezed her hand.
Zhou Jing: Fuck, this person is more of a delinquent than me. Where does she get the face to talk about ‘Socialist Values’?
Just then, Jiang Zhixia heard a familiar shouting: “What are you all doing here? Fighting, aren’t you? All of you, stand up!!” The last sentence was delivered as a direct roar.
Jiang Zhixia slowly turned her head.
Dean Jia: !!!!!!
Jiang Zhixia, who was holding down a disheveled Lin Su, with the clearly bullied Cheng Xi standing next to her, and several little girls lying at her feet not daring to speak: …
If I say I actually just came out to throw some trash for my dad, would you believe me, Dean Jia?
