Chapter 089 Breaking the Arm
"Xiao Han, are you alright?" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han and asked, "What happened this morning? Why did you give up on the exam?"
"It's nothing!" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I was just in a bad mood, but don't worry, I won't give up on the exam again."
"Okay!" Chen Zihan nodded and said, "I hope you can do as you say."
"Definitely!" Xiao Han revealed a brilliant smile.
Chen Zihan, however, said with a smile, "I believe you can definitely do it."
Jiang Xiaoliang walked up to Xiao Han at a leisurely pace, with a smile on his face, and said, "Xiao Han, you have no hope for this exam. You're destined to lose."
"So what?" Xiao Han asked curiously.
"That means I can move back next to Chen Zihan," Jiang Xiaoliang said with a sly grin.
"That doesn't change the fact that Chen Zihan is my girlfriend!" Xiao Han suddenly stood up.
"What?!" Jiang Xiaoliang was taken aback and said, "What... what did you just say?"
"I said Chen Zihan is my girlfriend!" Xiao Han said loudly.
Whoosh!
The classroom was suddenly abuzz.
Everyone knew that Xiao Han and Chen Zihan were close, and although many had speculated in secret that Xiao Han and Chen Zihan might be in a premature relationship, no one dared to speak recklessly without evidence. As such, it wasn't made into a big deal. Moreover, most boys and girls at this age don't know much about life and are in a state of innocent bewilderment.
Their view of love remains pure, and even if there were any that were prematurely involved, it was done discreetly.
Yet, Xiao Han had just announced such a thing in front of the whole class.
Not to mention, Chen Zihan had a special status; she was the crush of many boys in the school, with numerous claiming to be her guardians and openly stating that no one else was allowed to pursue her. Xiao Han's sudden move was effectively making enemies with all the boys in school.
Furthermore, with the college entrance examination just around the corner, announcing a relationship out of the blue would undoubtedly face the school's and teachers' complete suppression. His action could certainly be called courageous.
Jiang Xiaoliang's face turned ashen, then darkened with fury.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Jiang Xiaoliang refused to believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Chen Zihan yourself!" Xiao Han retorted indifferently, and his nonchalance was a great provocation to Jiang Xiaoliang.
Jiang Xiaoliang quickly turned around and looked at Chen Zihan, asking, "Zi Han, tell me he's lying!"
From the moment Xiao Han loudly declared their relationship, Chen Zihan's face had been flushed with embarrassment. Being declared in such a manner in front of the whole class made her somewhat awkward and shy. However, which girl wouldn't like a passionate love story?
Despite the shyness, she was secretly delighted deep inside because she liked Xiao Han, and she didn't have much resistance against it.
"That's right!" Chen Zihan nodded.
Upon hearing her affirmation, Jiang Xiaoliang was ecstatic and said, "Do you hear that? She said you're not, you're not!"
"What he said is correct!" Chen Zihan added, "I am his girlfriend!"
Whoosh...
The whole class was in an uproar again. Now that even Chen Zihan had confirmed it, the fact that Xiao Han and Chen Zihan were in a premature relationship was clearly true. Moreover, they had made their relationship public. All the classmates were stunned into silence, and all eyes were focused on the three of them. These three were the perfect illustration of a 'love triangle.'
"Do you hear that?" Xiao Han retorted disdainfully, "Chen Zihan is mine. So, you might as well save your breath."
"No, I simply cannot believe it!" Jiang Xiaoliang shook his head, and with a cold laugh said, "Xiao Han, you're just a shoeshiner's son, a pauper like you doesn't deserve Chen Zihan. You don't deserve her! Xiao Han, you don't deserve Chen Zihan!"
Xiao Han's face immediately darkened. It was one thing to insult him, but the insult extended to his mother as well. This touched a nerve. Just as a dragon has a reverse scale and a man has a breaking point, crossing them meant death. Therefore, Xiao Han was not going to be polite.
Your journey continues on empire
"Say that again!" Xiao Han said coldly.
"You're just a shoeshiner's son, you don't deserve love!" Jiang Xiaoliang, too, was provoked by Xiao Han, which made him utter such foolish words, and he laughed, "Therefore, you don't deserve Chen Zihan!"
Whoosh...
Xiao Han suddenly dashed forward in a swift motion, grabbing the chair Jiang Xiaoliang was sitting on with one hand.
Bang!
Xiao Han swung the chair with the speed of lightning and smashed it hard onto Jiang Xiaoliang.
"Ah!" Jiang Xiaoliang suddenly collapsed.
"No!" Chen Zihan hurried over and grabbed Xiao Han, shouting, "Xiao Han, don't mess around, this is a school. You can't hit him!"
After Jiang Xiaoliang fell to the ground, he held his left arm with his right hand, crying out in pain. His face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Damn it!" At that moment, Jiang Xiaoliang's friend hurried over and said, "His arm's broken, quick... go call a teacher!"
Before they could call for help, Liu Jinmei and the invigilator had already come in that afternoon, and the scene was chaotic.
"What happened?" Liu Jinmei yelled urgently.
"Teacher, Xiao Han broke Jiang Xiaoliang's arm!" The boy shouted desperately.
"What?" Liu Jinmei, upon hearing this, was immediately flustered.
Liu Jinmei quickly went over to check the situation, then swiftly dialed for emergency services.
Xiao Han stood still at one side, motionless. Chen Zihan had been holding onto his arm the whole time, not paying any attention to Jiang Xiaoliang's condition, but looking up at Xiao Han, she said, "Xiao Han, you... you were really too impulsive!"
"It was he who insulted me!" Xiao Han snorted coldly.
"But you shouldn't have been so impulsive either!" Chen Zihan said with a helpless expression, "Do you know about Jiang Xiaoliang's family connections? His family is rich and powerful. Now that you've injured him like this, what will you do from now on?"
"What can be done?" Xiao Han said with a disdainful laugh, "At worst, I'll pay money!"
After injuring Jiang Xiaoliang, Xiao Han didn't care in the slightest. This guy Jiang Xiaoliang deserved a beating, he thought; one hit and he'd behave from then on. If it cost some money, so be it. Xiao Han didn't think too deeply about it.
In fact, what he didn't consider most was how heavy his own punch had been, as once again his emotions had taken control of his brain, making him act on such impulse.
"It's not that simple!" Chen Zihan said agitatedly, "The Jiang family has only Jiang Xiaoliang as their sole heir. His family almost spoils him to the heavens. If his parents find out you've injured their son like this, they definitely won't let it go easily."
"Let them do whatever they want!" Xiao Han replied dismissively.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Chen Zihan said hopelessly.
Soon, the ambulance hurriedly arrived and quickly took Jiang Xiaoliang away. As the responsible teacher and head teacher, Liu Jinmei also went to the hospital with them. The remaining two invigilators could only continue to carry out their duties.
"Alright, everyone back to your seats, hurry up!" an invigilator glanced at them and said, "The exam is about to start."
Xiao Han also returned to his seat. Although the storm had temporarily subsided, the issue was definitely not over that simply. Xiao Han knew it was just a quiet before the storm. However, Xiao Han was not worried, after all, what was bound to come would always come.
"Xiao Han is done for this time."
"He's finished, the Jiang family will surely destroy him."
In the classroom, many whispers could be heard, everyone discussing in hushed tones.
Chen Zihan was the most worried in the entire classroom, not Xiao Han. Precisely because she knew about Jiang Xiaoliang's family background and legacy, she was even more uneasy. She worried that Xiao Han would suffer retaliation and feared that he might even be expelled from school because of this.
Chen Zihan's worry was not unfounded; knowing the small-minded nature of the Jiang family members, they would surely seek hundredfold revenge on Xiao Han. Holding her pen, Chen Zihan's performance on the English exam that afternoon was utterly disorganized. In contrast, Xiao Han excelled, scoring full marks on the English exam.
As soon as the exam ended, Liu Jinmei hurried back to the classroom, her face filled with immense embarrassment. If it wasn't for the severity of Jiang Xiaoliang's injury, then she must have been scolded.
When Liu Jinmei arrived at the hospital that afternoon, members of the Jiang family had already rushed there after receiving the news. After hearing from the attending doctor that Jiang Xiaoliang's left ulna was fractured and needed surgery to insert a metal plate and a plaster cast, Jiang Xiaoliang's mother, Madam Jiang, was enraged.
"Damn it, who broke our Liang's arm?" Madam Jiang was furious.
Confronted with this bulky woman, Liu Jinmei appeared especially frail, but still, she braved the other's fury and spoke the truth, attempting to soothe with, "Madam Jiang, please don't be angry, they are all children, and it's quite normal for them to have conflicts."
"Liu Jinmei, what nonsense are you spouting?" Madam Jiang burst into anger upon hearing this, "High school seniors, they are all eighteen or nineteen years old, can they be compared with three or four-year-olds? At eighteen or nineteen, they should bear the corresponding legal responsibility. He intentionally harmed my son, I'm going to call the police and have him arrested."
"No, no, no!" Liu Jinmei, upon hearing this, quickly protested, "If you do that, it will ruin Xiao Han!"
"A poor kid, he's just a pauper and that's all," Madam Jiang said disdainfully, "Even if I don't call the police, where can he possibly succeed."
"Regardless, it's happened, and our school also has some responsibility, right?" Liu Jinmei tried to deflect some of the blame from Xiao Han, speaking cautiously, "It's also largely related to me being the head teacher. Please, don't call the police, it would severely damage our school's reputation."
"Hmph," Madam Jiang responded with disdain, "That has nothing to do with me. That's your problem. I won't call the police if you don't want me to, but I have a few requests, that's not too much to ask for, right?"
What do you think?
