Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2620: Chapter 2556: Have Someone Protect You

She really didn’t want to talk to Ji Yuzhi about Hu Xiangyong.

So, Chiang Xiao turned around to pretend she hadn’t seen Ji Yuzhi and quickly left.

”Chiang Xiao, wait!”

Ji Yuzhi was breathless from running.

Last night, deep into the night, Hu Xiangyong had tormented her until she nearly passed out. This morning, she was late for work by half an hour.

All morning, she was restless and uneasy.

Initially, she really hadn’t considered coming to find Chiang Xiao, even though what she heard felt unsettling. But after all, she was already in a relationship with Hu Xiangyong; of course, he was more important than Chiang Xiao.

However, Ji Yuzhi kept thinking about the sincere things Chiang Xiao had said to her before.

Ji Yuzhi could feel that Chiang Xiao had genuinely cared for her at that time.

Therefore, if she didn’t tell her about this, Ji Yuzhi felt guilty.

So, after hesitating for two hours, she still came to find her.

Chiang Xiao had no choice but to stop.

Ding Haijing also stopped on the other end of the playground.

At school, they always pretended not to know Chiang Xiao and didn’t walk together, only following from afar.

”Chiang Xiao!”

Ji Yuzhi had already run up to Chiang Xiao, nearly unable to speak from panting.

Chiang Xiao looked at her trembling legs and frowned.

”Teacher Ji, why are you running so fast?”

”I... I need to talk to you about something.”

”Teacher Ji, catch your breath first, then talk.” Chiang Xiao glanced at her and said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said that, Ji Yuzhi sat down on the ground.

”I’m exhausted.”

Chiang Xiao glanced at the distance from the office building to here—not that far, right?

Running over here and she can’t stand anymore?

At this moment, Ji Yuzhi didn’t care about embarrassment; she was genuinely tired. Sometimes, when she got home after work, she was too exhausted to have any energy for that, but Hu Xiangyong always wanted it, and wouldn’t relent unless he tormented her for over an hour. Like yesterday, three times, she really couldn’t endure it.

Now she harbored another doubt that she couldn’t share with anyone: with such strong needs, what about before they were together?

Could it be that he didn’t have any women around him?

”Teacher Ji, what exactly do you want to tell me?”

”Chiang Xiao, please find someone to pick you up after school today, preferably your fiancé, and don’t go out alone.”

Chiang Xiao was stunned upon hearing this.

Why?

”My fiancé isn’t in Capital City, so he can’t come to pick me up.”

”Then find someone else. Ideally someone with a car, take a ride home. Also, don’t wander around once you’re home; stay at home safely.”

The more Chiang Xiao listened, the stranger it sounded.

”Teacher Ji, why?”

Thinking of Ji Yuzhi being with Hu Xiangyong, Chiang Xiao’s eyes flashed, ”Did you hear someone plotting to kill me?”

”Bah, bah, bah! What’s this about killing!” Ji Yuzhi was startled, getting up from the ground, ”I didn’t hear anything like that. I just heard that lately there seem to be some hooligans hanging around near our school, causing trouble for the pretty girls of our art school. You are so pretty, it’s normal for me to be worried about you. I’m just afraid you haven’t heard the rumor, so I’m here to tell you. Just in case, being cautious is never a bad thing.”

Hooligans with ill intentions near the school?

”Teacher Ji, why haven’t I heard of this?”

”You often ask for leave, don’t you? It’s not surprising you haven’t heard. Maybe while everyone was discussing, you were not at school.” Ji Yuzhi said, then hurriedly added, ”Find the principal?”
