Zhao Dongxue glanced at Cheng Xi, completely ignoring her, and continued eating.

"Haha, Zhao Dongxue, I heard that Celestial Fortune Clothing store went out of business? Your brother is already too busy to take care of you now, isn't he?"

Cheng Xi had a big smile on her face, feeling quite pleased at this moment.

She really disliked Zhao Dongxue, and when she saw her at Celestial Fortune Clothing before, knowing her identity, she felt so frustrated that she had to leave in dejection.

This resentment had been bottled up, making her mood very bad for a while.

Soon after, Cold Dew Clothing store suddenly emerged and began to suppress Celestial Fortune Clothing store.

Under this pressure, the immensely popular and rapidly expanding Celestial Fortune Clothing store shockingly went out of business in just a few months.

Knowing this news made her extremely excited, and she couldn't wait to come and mock Zhao Dongxue in person.

She had been inquiring about Zhao Dongxue's whereabouts, and came here on purpose.

Now, having said what she did, and seeing Zhao Dongxue's unpleasant expression, she felt as if she had just drunk a cold soda after spending a hot summer day under the scorching sun.

"Cheng Xi, shut up."

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Zhao Dongxue couldn't help but shout angrily.

Her temper wasn't that great to begin with, and seeing Cheng Xi's unabashed mockery, her anger surged forth.

"Oh, hit a sore spot, have I?"

Cheng Xi crossed her arms with a smirk, "Now that Celestial Fortune Clothing store is closed, our store could use some people. Want to come over? Anyway, our store isn't gonna close."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongxue became even more furious and wanted to charge forward, but was held back tightly by Yu Xiaoting.

"Xue, let's not talk to her, let's go," Yu Xiaoting urged anxiously.

She was relatively timid and was quite scared when she saw the five people around Zhao Dongxue.

Cheng Xi didn't come alone; she brought a few people with her.

Last time, Zhao Dongxue impulsively fought with Cheng Xi, who hadn't expected anyone to actually hit her, so this time she was clearly a bit wary and brought more people.

Because last time, Cheng Xi lost the fight and was completely overpowered.

Now, Zhao Dongxue seemed not to want to fight either and was about to leave with Yu Xiaoting.

Seeing Yu Xiaoting trying to pull Zhao Dongxue away, Cheng Xi became displeased. She hadn't yet had enough of watching Zhao Dongxue's sour expression; it hadn't been long enough to let her go.

She signaled, and her group quickly surrounded them, blocking Zhao Dongxue and Yu Xiaoting's path.

At that moment, Zhao Dongxue immediately shouted, "Ting, let me go."

Startled by her sudden yell, Yu Xiaoting instinctively loosened her grip.

With no restraints, Zhao Dongxue moved quickly and reached Cheng Xi in two steps, gripping Cheng Xi's shoulders with her hands. With a hook of her right leg, Cheng Xi lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"I... I, I, I..."

Looking at Zhao Dongxue, who was so close after having knocked her to the ground, Cheng Xi was so scared she couldn't even speak, with only one thought in her mind.

And that was that she had been ambushed by Zhao Dongxue.

The companions Cheng Xi had brought were stunned, seeing Zhao Dongxue daring to make the first move even under such circumstances.

But they quickly reacted, cursing as they prepared to step forward.

"Xue, run!" Yu Xiaoting screamed in fright.

But just then, a young man whose fist was about to swing forward suddenly felt his wrist being grabbed.

"Damn, who's grabbing me?" He struggled, but couldn't break free and was about to curse out loud.

Before he could, a powerful force hit him, seemingly breaking his bones. He instantly cried out in pain, his body bending as he plopped to the ground.

The person who had come was Qin Yun.

On the other side, seeing what was happening, another young man swung his fist towards Qin Yun.

But Qin Yun kicked him directly on the shin, causing him to stumble and fall.

The three other girls Cheng Xi had brought were startled by Qin Yun's sudden intervention, too scared to move.

"I told you to speak, I told you to speak!"

On the ground, Zhao Dongxue was punching Cheng Xi left and right. Cheng Xi had no power to resist, only able to beg for mercy through tears.

"Xue."

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Zhao Dongxue immediately stopped what she was doing and quickly walked over to Qin Yun, saying sweetly, "Brother Qin Yun."

After the scuffle, she had been keeping an eye on the surroundings, ready to run away anytime, so she noticed when Qin Yun arrived.

With Qin Yun there, she suddenly felt emboldened and stopped running, choosing instead to keep hitting Cheng Xi.

Her eyes were now shining, seeing her cousin deal with the five people Cheng Xi had brought in just two seconds.

Finally, the sobbing Cheng Xi got up from the ground, and her friends gathered around her.

In that moment, Cheng Xi regained her confidence.

She looked at Zhao Dongxue and shouted angrily, "Zhao Dongxue, you hit me again. I'm going to call the police and have you arrested."

Her eyes were now black like a panda's, her hair was a mess, and she looked incredibly disheveled.

"Call the police?"

Zhao Dongxue said nothing, but Qin Yun spoke coldly, "You brought all these people to bully my sister, causing her great physical harm and psychological distress. I think we should be the ones calling the police."

He picked up his phone and started dialing.

Seeing Qin Yun actually making the call, Cheng Xi was immediately frightened.

She wasn't very old and hadn't meant anything serious today, just intending to make fun of Zhao Dongxue. She hadn't expected things to escalate like this.

Qin Yun wasn't sparing in his actions; he intended to solve this issue once and for all.

The police arrived quickly, reviewed the nearby surveillance, and saw the whole event unfold.

Although it was Cheng Xi's side that got hurt, it was deemed that Zhao Dongxue and Qin Yun were acting in self-defense.

In the end, Cheng Xi's parents and her friends came to the police station, apologizing non-stop and even offering compensation, before taking their frightened children home.

...

Walking along the road, Zhao Dongxue followed Qin Yun, seeing the stern look on his face and not daring to speak.

She was usually fearless, facing several people like Cheng Xi without showing fear, yet was now feeling nervous in front of Qin Yun.

"Brother Qin Yun," Zhao Dongxue called softly.

Qin Yun stopped walking and turned to look at Zhao Dongxue, saying seriously, "Xue, when something like this happens, the first thing to do is call us or the police. If you start fighting, you stand to lose."

Even if she managed to get the upper hand momentarily, with their numbers, Zhao Dongxue would eventually suffer.

If he hadn't happened along today, who knows how it might have ended? The best scenario would have probably seen Zhao Dongxue getting hurt.

She's a problematic kid, his cousin, but she's never suffered a real setback yet. If she did, it would be too late.

"I understand," Zhao Dongxue replied promptly to Qin Yun's scolding, nodding like a little quail.
