Chapter 45: Mercy is Evil, Justice is Fierce.
Chapter 45
"Waaahhh!" Xu Zhiyi immediately collapsed and cried out, hugging Zuo Zichen tightly and sobbing.
"Go cry outside." Quan Zhisui's voice rang out.
Xu Zhiyi immediately stumbled out with Zuo Zichen, not daring to stay in the living room. They ran into the courtyard and cried there.
She was really afraid and also desperate. She knew that she would never be able to fight against Quan Zhisui for the rest of her life in the Zuo Family.
No...
Perhaps Quan Zhisui didn't even need to fight at all. Everything in the Zuo Family was hers.
This girl's surname was Quan!
In the courtyard, Xu Zhiyi hugged Zuo Zichen and cried until she was breathless: "Mom doesn't have any ability. I'm sorry, son! It's mom's fault! I've ruined you!"
Zuo Zichen's eyes also turned red. His emotions were even more complicated than Xu Zhiyi's, and he didn't even know how to comfort his own mother.
Xu Zhiyi seemed to have been frightened crazy by Quan Zhisui. She kept crying and saying, "She's back. There's no place for us mother and son in the Zuo Family anymore. She's back, waaah!"
"Mom!" Zuo Zichen held Xu Zhiyi's shoulders, "Sis just has a bad temper. If you don't provoke her, she can actually be reasonable. Let's not provoke her anymore, okay?"
He was truly afraid of Quan Zhisui, and even suspected that he had been manipulated by her.
But Xu Zhiyi just kept shaking her head and crying, "It's over! Sixteen years of preparation has been for nothing! There's no place for me anymore! Or for you either! Son, waaah! She's back to seize the Zuo Family's wealth. She's back to take back control of the Zuo Group!"
Zuo Zichen also started crying, "Then just give it to her. Give her everything. Mom, I'm scared too. I'm afraid she'll hit me, waaah!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Waaah!"
The two of them cried like lunatics, both frightened and terrified.
In the dining room.
Ma Xinwei and Gu Lan had already started serving dishes to Quan Zhisui, along with steaming hot rice.
None of the servants dared to speak, only communicating with their eyes.
Quan Zhisui had first subdued the young master, then suppressed the mistress. Looking at how the mistress was just now, not even daring to cry loudly, hiding in a small corner of the courtyard.
The young miss was truly too frightening and powerful!
From today on, the Zuo Family had officially changed hands!
...
Zhou Chun, who had disappeared for two days, came back to class again.
She was no longer the class monitor of Class 3. There were no class monitors in Liang Secondary School who had a demerit record. After what she had done was exposed, her classmates had all distanced themselves from her. No one liked being friends with someone who secretly took photos and spread rumors.
Zhou Chun was also like a different person, never smiling again. She had also moved to the furthest corner of the classroom and no longer raised her hand in class, keeping her head lowered the entire time.
She had become famous, infamously.
At noon that day.
Zhou Chun came to the doorway of Class 1, holding a cup of milk tea in her hands.
The student in the window instinctively turned his head and yelled, "Wei Shixu...."
"Wait!" Zhou Chun quickly interrupted him and said softly, "I'm looking for Quan Zhisui."
The student in the window was puzzled, but still helped call the person for her: "Quan Zhisui, someone outside is looking for you!"
When Quan Zhisui walked out of the classroom and saw Zhou Chun in the corridor, she had a bewildered look on her face: "You are?"
Who is this...
Zhou Chun looked up at her in surprise, only then realizing that Quan Zhisui didn't recognize her at all, and hadn't even remembered what she looked like.
She opened her mouth, then steeled herself to speak: "I'm Zhou Chun."
Quan Zhisui had some impression. She thought for three seconds before finally recalling, "Oh! You're the one who spread rumors about me?"
"Yes..." Zhou Chun held out the milk tea, "I'm sorry, and thank you."
She had thought for two days at home, and had also lost sleep for two nights.
Later she found out what had happened at school - Quan Zhisui and Zuo Zichen turned out to be relatives!
She heard they were cousins?
At first Zhou Chun collapsed in disbelief, even falling into mad struggles within her mind. But two days later she had a dream.
In the dream was the scene of Quan Zhisui smashing Zuo Zichen's face with a plate.
The plates kept clattering loudly!
That night, she had the exact same dream countless times.
Later Zhou Chun thought. If Quan Zhisui hadn't suddenly rushed out that day and beaten up Zuo Zichen, she probably would have been beaten into the hospital by Zuo Zichen's gang...
Disfigured? Fractures? Even paralyzed in a hospital bed.
Zuo Zichen didn't care about getting demerits. Relying on his family background he acted recklessly at school. And it wasn't the first time he had beaten someone like this either.
So Zhou Chun had bought milk tea and came to make amends with Quan Zhisui.
She thought Quan Zhisui would save her and help her beat up Zuo Zichen. Her sense of justice had almost exploded at that time!
She must have misunderstood Quan Zhisui. Quan Zhisui must be a very kind person.
Zhou Chun stood in the corridor, holding out the milk tea with her head lowered.
But she had waited for a long time, and Quan Zhisui still didn't take it.
Puzzled, Zhou Chun raised her head, only to see an unexpected expression in those beautiful amber eyes.
There was no kindness or justice in Quan Zhisui's eyes, only a fierce glint.
She saw Quan Zhisui cracking her knuckles with a 'ka ka' sound. "So you're the one spreading rumors? You dare to come looking for death in front of me..."
Zhou Chun was shocked!
This was not what she had imagined at all!
"Ahhh—"
She screamed and threw the milk tea away. Then she fled back to the classroom as fast as the wind, as if her feet had been greased. She had never run so fast before.
Ahhh!
Quan Zhisui was actually going to hit her!
What happened to the justice and kindness?
How could this transfer student have such a split personality like Wei Shixu!
Zhou Chun hid frightened in the corner of Class 3, her emotions swirling up and down uncontrollably.
Just then, five Grade 10 students marched swaggeringly down the corridor outside. They were Zuo Zichen's underlings, carrying snacks, milk tea and other things. They handed them to Quan Zhisui, who was standing by the railing.
"Good afternoon, Sis Quan!"
The five people yelled loudly and forcefully.
The windows of several Grade 11 classes were open, and many students poked their heads out to watch.
Class 3 was no exception. Zhou Chun could hear her classmates' astonished voices around her.
"Wow, Quan Zhisui has really become the school tyrant?"
"She's fierce. I've never seen Zuo Zichen so obedient before."
"Suppressed by her bloodline, even though she's just a cousin."
"Sis Quan is so powerful!"
Zhou Chun hugged herself helplessly. At this moment, her emotions had reached an extremely complicated peak!
She thought of Wei Shixu. Usually Wei Shixu always had a faint smile, an innocent and harmless smile. But he would suddenly reveal a very scary look in his eyes and do frightening things.
Just like Quan Zhisui's instant change in expression today.
His warmth seemed like a kind of charity, occasionally triggered compassion, not his true nature.
Zhou Chun was shocked to realize she had probably provoked some incredible people, even two of them.
Wei Shixu and Quan Zhisui were essentially the same, equally split.
One compassionate yet sinister, the other righteous yet fierce.
