I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 634 - 601 Threats and Displaced Anger_2

He Xuerong suddenly grabbed Zhou Ruoruo, looking fiercely at Zhang Ming, who was sitting on the ground holding his stomach. She yelled, "Zhang Ming, you’re not an idiot. Since you all know who Zhou Ruoruo is, how dare you bully her like this? Are you tired of being outside and want to switch to a different environment?"

Zhang Ming looked at He Xuerong in shock. This damn girl was so strong, but he really didn’t dare to fight back, especially since his stomach was in pain. Gritting his teeth, he said, "He... He Xuerong, this has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business."

Then he pointed at Zhou Ruoruo, "You wait for me. Sooner or later, I’ll take care of you."

Zhou Ruoruo’s pale little face was smeared with tears, and regarding the grudges between her parents, the Zhang Family, and the Ye Family, the past her didn’t know, but now she did, and it wasn’t just today that she found out; it was after she went to Beijing to study that her sister had told her.

The reason Zhou Zijiao had told her this was to let her know the complex relationships involved so that later, whether at school or elsewhere, if she came across people from the Ye Family or the Zhang Family, she would be better off staying out of their way.

After all, her mom was Liu Ying, which made her situation different.

Zhou Zijiao’s mother was Xiao Wei, who, to a large extent, had sacrificed her own family happiness to protect Zhang Zening.

If Liu Ying’s threats had been successful back then, considering the severe enforcement atmosphere of the time, a death sentence would have been handed down, and at that time the execution of death sentences was incredibly swift, practically immediate upon confirmation.

Even if she were vindicated later, what then? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Dead people can’t be brought back to life, so the Zhang Family kept this debt of gratitude in their hearts, but Liu Ying’s daughter was a different matter. Although now disasters didn’t extend to the family members, the word ’resentment’ still applied.

This was the first time Zhou Ruoruo had encountered such a situation, trembling all over, yet she clung tightly to He Xuerong’s arm.

Speaking with teeth chattering from cold, despite the weather not being that cold, as if in the deep of winter, she said, "Rongrong, take me home. I... I want to go home."

"Ruoruo, what are you afraid of? If these bastards want to bully you, we absolutely can’t let them get away with it."

"We weren’t trying to bully her."

A boy nearby, seeing the situation was unfavorable, quickly spoke up, "We weren’t trying to bully her."

"Then why were you dragging her into the alley?" He Xuerong demanded fiercely.

The group exchanged glances, and it was that same boy who explained, "We just wanted to scare her."

He Xuerong was skeptical, but it wasn’t the time for that discussion. Just then, the security guard inside the high wall heard the commotion, climbed the stairs to the top of the wall, looked down, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Ming’s face changed color, and he had someone help him up, clutching his stomach. Grinding his teeth, he pointed at He Xuerong, "You damn girl, you’ve messed up my plans; I won’t let you off for this."

The security guard didn’t recognize Zhang Ming, but he did recognize He Xuerong. Frowning, he asked, "Rongrong, do you know these people? Are they threatening you?"

He Xuerong’s expression darkened. Saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie because it was actually the first time someone had threatened her like this. But then she thought, she hadn’t done anything wrong; why should he threaten her?

So, He Xuerong quickly started calling the police with her phone. Swift in her actions and words, she pinpointed their location in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Ming and the boys were startled, not expecting He Xuerong to actually call the police. One of the boys let go and ran off without looking back, while Zhang Ming, still clutching his stomach, fell back to the ground and furiously shouted, "He Xuerong, you’re looking for trouble. What does this have to do with you? Why are you calling the police? This is far from over between us."

Before He Xuerong could respond, Zhou Ruoruo, hearing the police had been called, gradually got her wits back, and with the guard uncle standing atop the wall behind, she suddenly felt more confident and less afraid. Though she was still visibly scared by Zhang Ming’s expression, she still mustered the courage to say, "I know about the issues between our parents, but if you kill me, won’t you have to pay with your life?"

Her face grew even paler as she thought of something, gripping He Xuerong’s hand more tightly, "No matter what you want to do, you will have to pay the price. This is a society governed by the rule of law. And this has nothing to do with He Xuerong. The person you want to target, the one you hate, is me, so don’t threaten her."
