Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 79: Standing Up for Guan Tao

Everyone felt the air go still. They all looked at Jian Ai in shock. It was as if they had seen a ghost.

In everyone’s eyes, Jian Ai had always been a submissive person. However, at this moment, Jian Ai, who was standing in front of them, exuded a cold aura. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped. That slap was decisive and nimble. How could it be that Jian Ai, who usually didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, dared to do so?

Yu Mengyao immediately felt a burning pain in her cheek, and she didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.

She was slapped?

Slapped by Jian Ai?

Jian Ai had slapped her in the face in front of so many people.

For a moment, Yu Mengyao was embarrassed and angry. Like an angry lioness, she turned around and pounced at Jian Ai.

However, although she was used to being arrogant and domineering, how would a rich girl like Yu Mengyao know how to fight? Before her hand could reach Jian Ai, Jian Ai gripped it tightly again. She immediately exerted strength, and Yu Mengyao’s body instantly twisted into a weird arc due to the pain from her wrist.

“Ah…” Yu Mengyao was in so much pain that tears flew out. However, Jian Ai had no intention of stopping until Yu Mengyao’s body went limp on the ground. In the end, she knelt in front of Guan Tao.

The other girl regained her senses and was about to help Mengyao when she suddenly felt Jian Ai’s gaze on her.

Her eyes were cold and sharp like an eagle’s, making her instantly feel cold from head to toe. The thought of wanting to help vanished in an instant. Her body froze on the spot, unable to move as if someone had poked her acupoint.

“What’s wrong with Jian Ai? Why is she so fierce?”

“Did she take the wrong medicine? She dared to touch Yu Mengyao?”

“That’s right. Why didn’t she think about the consequences? Yu Mengyao has a cousin who’s a gangster outside school…”

Everyone regained their senses and started whispering again. Although Jian Ai’s action surprised them, they did not think too much about it. After all, Jian Ai and Guan Tao were inseparable every day. It was reasonable for her to stand up for Guan Tao.

After a while, Jian Ai finally let go. It was as if the strength in Yu Mengyao’s body had been sucked dry. She immediately fell to the ground like a puddle of mud. Her eyelashes were fluttering from her tears, and she looked like she had been violated. She was in a sorry state.

“Jian Ai…” Guan Tao stood behind Jian Ai. Her heart was beating wildly, and she secretly cursed herself for being useless.

Now that Jian Ai had a conflict with Yu Mengyao because of her, there would be trouble in the future.

Jian Ai immediately retracted her aura and looked up at the onlookers. Then, she picked up the silk handkerchief from the ground and said softly, “This handkerchief belongs to Gao Yang. Guan Tao didn’t steal it.”

Jian Ai spoke the truth.

“Ah? This handkerchief is Gao Yang’s?”

“It’s not Yu Mengyao’s?”

“Oh, I thought it was Yu Mengyao’s! If it’s not her handkerchief, why is she shouting? She even said that she was a thief. I thought she stole her thing.”

“Didn’t you know that Yu Mengyao and Gao Yang got engaged when they were young? She must have recognized Gao Yang’s handkerchief on Guan Tao and deliberately caused trouble.”

“What a waste of my feelings. To think that I even spoke up for her just now. It turned out that I was helping a tyrant.”

These students were like fence-sitters. As soon as the wind changed direction, they instantly targeted Yu Mengyao and started criticizing her.

Yu Mengyao had just regained her senses when she heard the ear-piercing discussions around her. She immediately struggled to refute, “I know that it belongs to Gao Yang, but why would it be with Guan Tao? You still say that she didn’t steal it?”

“I lent it to her.” At this moment, Gao Yang’s voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
