My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 239 - 214: Domestic Violence_3

"Stop talking about that, what really happened between you and Manning yesterday? Did you have a fight with her?"

The others walked further away, and Li Peifeng finally got to the topic that concerned him the most.

Wu Wenyue didn't answer immediately but instead gazed at the distant mountain view. On both sides of the Great Wall were red-leaved and yellow pagoda trees covering the hills. The deep autumn wind and rain had left a trace of pale yellow on the red leaves. Occasionally, a gust of autumn wind would sweep through, causing the leaves to fall and adding more thickness to the red carpet.

The voices of the people ahead faded further into the distance, leaving only the unknown bird calls, which added an extra touch of loneliness and desolation to the scene.

Wu Wenyue said softly, "Peifeng, look at these leaves."

Li Peifeng took her hand in one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other, accompanying her as they overlooked the mountain view: "What about the falling leaves?"

Wu Wenyue withdrew her gaze from afar and looked at their joined hands, sighing deeply: "Sooner or later they'll turn yellow."

"Don't scare me, okay?!"

Li Peifeng's expression changed: "What exactly happened last night? Start from the beginning."

"See for yourself."

Wu Wenyue's expression was complicated as she rolled up her sleeves, her two wheat-colored arms were covered with a mishmash of scratches, three of which even left clear blood marks—such venom from the one who caused it!

"Hiss~~ What, this?!"

Li Peifeng gasped in surprise, shocked and frightened: "Xu Manning did this?"

Wu Wenyue nodded silently.

Li Peifeng truly didn't expect things to be so serious. He thought the two girls would only exchange a few harsh words, but he hadn't expected them to get physical. Getting physical changed the nature of the conflict entirely—it was domestic violence!

Xu Manning was weaker, could at most scratch Wu Wenyue a couple of times, but if Wu Wenyue went at it... Xu Manning would likely end up in the hospital!

"How... How is she?" Li Peifeng cautiously probed. Wu Wenyue scoffed: "You only know to ask about her. But rest assured, she's completely unhurt, because she attacked me unilaterally and I didn't hit back at all!"

That's good, that's good.

Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief but didn't show it on the surface, instead feigning rage: "Manning really went too far; how could she scratch you? Good thing you were sensible, Wenyue, and didn't retaliate."

"Scratch? It wasn't just a scratch!"

Wu Wenyue's face turned sorrowful as she lowered her sleeves, unzipped her jacket, and tugged on the right side, revealing her slender neck and that round shoulder... with deep bite marks!!

Li Peifeng was distressed: "What kind of grudge or hatred is this?! Even I wasn't this rough when we were together."

"Shut the hell up!" Wu Wenyue shouted angrily, gritting her teeth: "That bitch, she bit me while I was asleep. We'd all reconciled, and in the middle of the night, she wouldn't sleep but ambushed me, biting me when I was sound asleep without defense. It woke me up with a scream of pain, brought tears to my eyes."

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! I'll reprimand her! How can someone be so malicious?! Can't she talk it out?!"

Li Peifeng was genuinely angry now, pulling out his phone to call Xu Manning for a reprimand, but just as he was about to dial, he suddenly realized something, frowning: "This isn't right. Logically, she should be the one apologizing if she's in the wrong; why would she scratch and bite you?"

Wu Wenyue sniffled, her eyes erratic as she looked into the distance: "...No matter what, hitting me makes her wrong. You call and reprimand her first, after that I'll tell you."

Li Peifeng said sternly: "I will reprimand her for sure, but Wenyue, first you need to tell me what you did to make Manning this angry."

Wu Wenyue, impatient yet guilty, said: "...Who knows what's gotten into her? Are you going to help me or not?!"

"If you don't explain clearly, how can I help you?"

Li Peifeng continued to press, but Wu Wenyue remained tight-lipped, so he stopped asking further: "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll call her to find out."

"Actually..."

Wu Wenyue paused for a moment, coughed awkwardly: "I just borrowed a few books from her and deleted a document."

Borrow? More like taking by force!

The latter half was spoken somewhat vaguely, but Li Peifeng still caught it, his intuition told him this was the key issue!

"What document?"

Wu Wenyue burst out angrily: "You forget what books you let her read, what lousy PPTs you asked her to write? She secretly wrote two thousand words, and if I hadn't deleted it…"

She hesitated, then said resentfully: "I deleted it. So what if I did? Does deleting it justify her scratching and biting me?"

Yes, indeed it does.

Li Peifeng stood there dumbfounded for a long while, unable to speak.

Wu Wenyue, seeing his attitude change, had a sinister expression: "You're not going to help me anymore?"

Li Peifeng thought to himself, how can I help you vent? You really deserve to be scratched!!
