The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Reverse Sanction

Hearing the news, Aunt Zhao rushed over just in time to see Chen Yan clawing for Gu Jiaojiao’s face. For a split second, her heart nearly stopped beating.

’My heavens, if this Chen Yan dares to hurt Gu Jiaojiao, Leng Yuan might go insane. Just today, Leng Yuan had specifically come to my house to ask Second Girl to accompany Gu Jiaojiao, afraid she’d run into danger going up the mountain by herself. That look on his face made it clear he treasured her above all else.’

Aunt Zhao hurried to stop her.

”Chen Yan, stop it this instant!”

Chen Yan turned a deaf ear, pretending not to have heard.

She was determined to ruin Gu Jiaojiao’s face!

Watching from the side, Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up.

If the occasion weren’t so inappropriate, she would have been cheering Chen Yan on.

’After all, this Chen Yan was even a relative of the Leng Family! Chen Yan’s father-in-law and Leng Yuan’s father were sworn brothers, and the two families had once been very close. It was only after something happened to the Leng Family that they slowly drifted apart. If they were to really go by seniority, Leng Yuan would have to call her Sister-in-law. Even if she really did strike Gu Jiaojiao, they couldn’t be too hard on her for the sake of their family connection.’

Gu Jiaojiao sensed Chen Yan’s intentions and, without a shred of courtesy, swung the bayonet in her hand, tracing a graceful arc through the air.

Chen Yan hadn’t expected Gu Jiaojiao to actually make a move and hastily slammed on the brakes.

But she was charging too fast and her body pitched forward, just as Gu Jiaojiao’s blade sliced past her eyes.

Any closer, and it would have poked her eyes out.

Chen Yan was so frightened her heart nearly stopped. The hair on her forehead was blown upward before settling back down.

Her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.

There was a moment of silence. Aunt Zhao was the first to snap out of it, rushing to Gu Jiaojiao’s side and looking at her with concern.

”Jiaojiao, are you all right?”

”I’m fine.”

Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Gu Jiaojiao was truly unharmed.

She had seen that last scene clearly. Now, she looked at Chen Yan, her tone laced with a warning.

”Chen Yan, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you really hurt Gu Jiaojiao, Leng Yuan won’t spare you when he gets back.”

At the mention of Leng Yuan, Chen Yan flinched, but she quickly recovered.

”Auntie, you can’t be so biased! Gu Jiaojiao was the one who hit my son, yet you’re still taking her side.”

With that, she kicked her feet against the ground. ”Heavens above, I’m being bullied! It wasn’t enough for Gu Jiaojiao to hit my child, she even attacked me, her sister-in-law! If I don’t get some justice today, I’m not getting up from this spot!”

Gu Jiaojiao’s brow furrowed. She walked over to Chen Yan, bayonet in hand.

Chen Yan fell silent at once, terrified. ”You... what are you trying to do?”

It’s like they say: the impulsive fear the foolhardy, the foolhardy fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear those with a death wish.

Chen Yan, at her level, was at best ruthless. But Gu Jiaojiao’s death-wish-like stance had her completely cowed.

After all, it was Chen Yan’s life that Gu Jiaojiao seemed so willing to take.

”Gu Jiaojiao, don’t take it too far! It’s bad enough that you hit my child, are you trying to hit me now, too?”

Gu Jiaojiao laughed. ”Sister-in-law, you’re hilarious. Why would I hit you for no reason?”

”As for Daniu, you can ask the other children what they did.”

Chen Yan had always been unreasonable. She didn’t care what Daniu had done; the fact that Gu Jiaojiao had hit her son was simply unacceptable.

But staring at that bayonet, having almost been blinded moments ago, she ultimately didn’t dare to keep running her mouth.

This Gu Zhiqing looked so refined and gentle, yet when she wielded a bayonet, she was surprisingly skillful and utterly terrifying.

The villagers were also shocked. The seemingly frail and delicate Gu Zhiqing had actually managed to subdue the shrew of the Qingshan Team.

Wang Daniu was furious.

”Mom, get up! Beat her to death! She just hit me with a branch and it really hurts!”

The other boys had been hit too. Their parents were about to let fly a few curses, but then they met Gu Jiaojiao’s gaze as she looked over.

They immediately let out a hollow laugh and turned to their own children. ”Well? How did you make Gu Zhiqing angry?”

’Are you kidding? When there’s a bayonet involved, saving your own skin comes first. Who cares if the kid got smacked a couple of times? We hit them at home all the time, too.’

’They’re tough; a few hits won’t hurt them.’

The boys: ...
