Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Who Are You to Me?

Logically speaking, at such a moment, Chiang Xiao shouldn’t have used a scattergun approach, provoking the onlookers; otherwise, once she charged in, even if she was in the right, it would seem as if she didn’t have a valid point. These people would definitely take Ho Laidi’s side.

But to pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of these people who couldn’t tell right from wrong was not something she was willing to do. That’s why she had walked away earlier, firstly because she didn’t want to cause a conflict in front of so many people, and secondly because she didn’t want to have anything to do with Ji Desheng.

Only Ho Laidi wasn’t willing to let her go.

Chiang Xiao glanced at those who had spoken up for Ho Laidi and asked them emotionlessly, "If I let go of her, can you guarantee she won’t attack me? Oh, I forgot to mention, this elder of mine is rather vicious. Not long ago, she even enticed several lazy men in our village to beat up my grandparents. I don’t want to be disrespectful, but even more, I don’t want to get hurt or die. Ladies and gentlemen, if I release my grip, can you protect me?"

The onlookers had already seen Ho Laidi’s ferocity, seen her kicking at Ji Desheng’s groin, seen her attempt to yank Chiang Xiao’s braid, and heard her unspeakable insults.

Upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s words, they suddenly fell silent.

Hu Xibing, who was in the crowd, also heard what Chiang Xiao had said and couldn’t help but applaud and cheer for her.

Bravo!

That way, no one dared to pin the unfilial label on her head anymore, and no one dared to accuse her. Otherwise, what? Were they really going to step forward and fight off that madwoman for her?

It was obvious that she would fight back!

Hu Xibing also felt that it was inappropriate for him to take action; otherwise, who knew what kind of accusations that madwoman would cook up against Chiang Xiao, making things even uglier.

But now it looked like Chiang Xiao could handle it all by herself.

Moreover, he found the strength of her grip and the way she had pinned down the wrist interesting. Just looking at how relaxed she seemed, it was clear that restraining Ho Laidi was not difficult for her at all.

With just three fingers, she had immobilized the seemingly tall and ferocious Ho Laidi—unable to move without crying out in pain.

Had Chiang Xiao received some kind of training?

Hmm, it seemed he would have to ask Captain Meng when he had the chance.

Chiang Xiao had not noticed Hu Xibing, so she wasn’t aware that Tyrant Meng would soon collect another "suspicious point" about her. She simply looked at Teacher Yu, who glared at her with indignant and condemning eyes, and found it somewhat amusing.

"Teacher Yu, to be honest, I really don’t need to explain anything to you, but I’ll tell you anyway; at that time, he and I had no relationship at all. It was only afterward that we got engaged."

What fault could she find in herself? To think that such a beautiful girl, if truly heartbroken, would be a sin.

But Yu Chunyu didn’t appreciate it, and after hearing her words, she felt even more embarrassed. However, she was aware of the importance of saving face and glared at Chiang Xiao through gritted teeth, suppressing her voice, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that after he met me, he still chose you? Are you implying that I am not as good as a little girl like you?"

Chiang Xiao’s gaze grew cold, "That’s not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean? You clearly knew I had feelings for him..." Yu Chunyu bit her lower lip, furiously saying, "How could you have the face to compete with me? How could you still have the audacity to get engaged to him?"

Chiang Xiao suddenly found being nice was too difficult.

"Huh, am I supposed to steer clear just because I could see that you were interested in him? Should I have just let you have him?" She found it very amusing, retorting, "Sorry, but I really don’t understand. If you don’t mind me asking—who exactly are you to me?"
