The 99th Divorce

“He wouldn’t dare to now! His father was the Deputy Mayor in the past but he’s now the Mayor of Kingstown. Given the fact that more eyes are watching his every move, he’d better behave himself.”

“Oh, I see. No wonder! I thought it was because his father had just married his second wife and was trying to give his stepmother a good impression of himself.”

The statement was clearly intended to provoke him and more eyes looked over to see how Quan Jingyi would react.

The amount of information revealed in those few sentences seemed disproportionately big too, it would be understandable if Jingyi was provoked…

Li Jianyue glanced at Quan Jingyi. Unexpectedly, Quan Jingyi simply rolled his eyes at them before resting his head on the desk without a word.

When the students saw that they hadn’t gotten the reaction they hoped for, they kicked his table and asked, “Hey, scaredy-cat! You dare not fight back now?”

“Hey, forget it. He’s probably scared of getting expelled. He probably is far less daring than a woman now.”

“Ha ha ha!”

Regardless of what they said, Quan Jingyi showed no reaction and remained silent, his head still on the table.

After staring at him for a while, the students lost interest in him as they realised that he would not react to them.

Li Jianyue was fuming just listening to them, and whispered, “Hey, Quan Jingyi.”

Quan Jingyi paid her no heed and continued resting and was again sprawled on the desk.

“What on earth? What was I expecting?” Li Jianyue muttered to herself.

Everyone had demonized Quan Jingyi to the extent that she had expected him to be a manic beast who would beat up anyone who went against him or tried to provoke him.

Judging from what she just witnessed, that didn’t seem to be the case at all.

Although Li Jianyue didn’t exactly wish for her deskmate to be a delinquent, after hearing so many rumors from her classmates, she felt a little let down by his lack of reaction.

A few classes passed and Quan Jingyi had still not uttered a single word.

He was very well behaved indeed.

When classes for the day were over, Li Jianyue headed to the washroom.

As she emerged, she found a few female students lingering by the sink, smiling at her suspiciously.

Li Jianyue was taken aback and instinctively took a step back to avoid them.

But then again, perhaps they weren’t looking at her.

After thinking for a moment, she plucked up the courage to squeeze her way past them to the basin to wash her hands.

“Hi, how do you do?” asked one of the girls whose hair was dyed yellow. Her uniform was worn haphazardly and she had two ear studs on her ears.

Li Jianyue reacted immediately when she heard that. They were clearly here for her.

Li Jianyue continued washing her hands and pretended as though she didn’t hear a thing.

“Hey, your name is Li Jianyue, isn’t it?”

Now that her name had been called, Li Jianyue couldn’t continue feigning ignorance anymore.

She had no choice but to look over and so, she timidly asked, “What can I do for you?”

Li Jianyue didn’t just resemble Su Qianci in appearance, she took after most of her character too.

She believed that certain confrontations were best avoided.

It was obvious that these girls weren’t model pupils. It was only her first day at school, and they were already looking to stir up some trouble with her.

There was no doubt that they were Li Mosen’s rotten fans!

Li Jianyue felt dismayed. She formed a mini image of Li Mosen in her mind and gave him a good pummeling.

Unexpectedly, the female student smiled sweetly and said, “Nothing much. I just wanted to make friends with you. I’m Shishi, one of your brother’s fans.”

“Um…” Li Jianyue was a little shocked. “How did you know I’m his sister?”

“I guessed it,” Shishi said with a grin. “You look so pretty, and Mosen treats you so well. He even takes you everywhere he goes and sent you to school this morning. You should know that Mosen hardly talks to girls in school, let alone treat them the way he treats you. So I figured that you must be his little sister.”

Li Jianyue was speechless.

The corners of her lips twitched. “Heh, what a fresh and unconventional conclusion…” she remarked.
