Chapter 77: Chapter 77 I Especially Regret

When Chen Yishu heard that Gu Qili had been taken away by the police, he rushed over from the classroom. The office area was filled with onlookers, and the director along with several teachers were dispersing the crowd of students.

"Guan Zhe is in a bad way this time; his eggs got smashed. That Gu Qili really went at him with a vengeance."

"Was it because the price wasn’t settled and they turned on each other? Doesn’t she just love money?"

"Who knows?"

A few students chattered as they walked past Chen Yishu, and he glared at them fiercely, feeling an urge to rush up and punch them a few times.

These people gossiped without knowing the true facts, recklessly talking nonsense without taking responsibility for their words, oblivious to the harm they could cause to the people involved.

You’ll never understand the world of online trolls.

"Yishu, it’s great you’re here," Chen Yishu heard this coquettish voice and couldn’t help but frown in disgust, wishing to pretend he hadn’t seen her, but Hu Jiaojiao was already blocking his path.

"What’s the matter?" he asked, his tone cold. Not finding Gu Qili made him both anxious and agitated.

He didn’t know what had happened between her and Guan Zhe, but given Guan Zhe’s distorted state of mind yesterday, it must have been borne out of dissatisfaction, seeking retaliation. Whether Guan Zhe was dead or alive didn’t concern him; he only cared whether she had been bullied.

Now, she had gone with the police, and a girl without money or power would undoubtedly struggle under the influence of the Guan Family. It would be easy for them to accuse her of intentional injury.

"Yishu, you know about Qiqi’s situation, right? Please think of a solution, I’m so worried." Hu Jiaojiao’s eyes brimmed with tears, appearing genuinely anxious, "I know you must blame and hate me, but it was only because I really liked you that I acted impulsively and did something to hurt you and Qiqi. Afterward, I regretted it so much, I know I was wrong now, I want to apologize to Qiqi, but she won’t see me. What should I do now? She’s gotten into such a situation, if Guan Zhe really sues her, she might end up in prison. Yishu, please, think of something, she’s my only good friend, my sister, I really don’t want anything to happen to her."

Hu Jiaojiao sobbed as she spoke, her words full of self-blame and remorse.

Chen Yishu’s heart softened, and he no longer kept a cold face.

"Do you know what happened?"

Hu Jiaojiao wiped her tears and shook her head: "I’m not sure, but I’m positive that it’s Guan Zhe’s fault, even if Qiqi hit him, it must have been self-defense. That Guan Zhe is simply no good, he even drove someone to death before."

"I also believe she’s not at fault," Chen Yishu pondered for a moment before saying, "I’m going to contact the lawyer from my dad’s company now, I heard he’s really good at handling these kinds of lawsuits. My uncle works at the police station, I can give him a heads up to look after her. If you don’t have other things to do, go pack some of Qili’s daily necessities from her dorm and bring them over, I’ll figure out a way to get them to her."

"Yishu, you’re so thoughtful, don’t worry, I’ll go right now," Hu Jiaojiao said cheerfully as she waved to him, "Qiqi is in your hands."

No sooner had she left the academic building, Hu Jiaojiao found a secluded place. She looked around carefully and then cautiously pulled out her phone to dial a number.

"Hello, is this Uncle Chen, Yishu’s dad? This is Hu Jiaojiao."

"Yes, the same Hu Jiaojiao who took care of Yishu at the hospital, I still have the number you gave me."

"Uncle Chen, there’s something I feel I need to tell you. I’m afraid Yishu might act rashly and cause trouble, which could affect the relationship between the Chen Family and the Guan Family, and that wouldn’t be good."
