Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 407 - 406: Ah Zhi Is Awesome

Liu Qingxi’s face tightened, and tears glistened in her eyes as she spoke in a soft, coquettish voice, "Miss Ye, could you please let go of me? We can talk this out, you’re hurting me."

The beauty’s eyes were filled with tears, like a fragile willow swaying in the wind, attracting the attention of several passers-by who stopped to watch.

Taking advantage of the moment, Liu Qingxi looked at the onlookers with teary eyes, seeming to speak without words, conveying a voice louder than sound.

The male passers-by rallied against the injustice.

"You young lady, pulling and tugging on the streets like this, what kind of behavior is that? Why don’t you talk it out properly?"

"Exactly, it’s extremely rude."

"If you ask me, the girl being held has a good temperament. Anyone else would’ve been fighting by now."

"A graceful girl of thirteen or so, at the tender age in early February, should be poised and agile. Why don’t you release that young lady?"

...

The public condemnation was unanimous against Ye Zhi, who instantly became the target of everyone’s scorn.

Ye Zhi was not to be trifled with; she turned and shouted loudly at the group of male gossipers, "This woman is seducing my fiancé, what’s wrong with teaching her a lesson? Let me tell you, I’ve practiced martial arts for years, if you don’t step aside, I’ll hit you too."

Liu Qingxi naturally refused to admit, glaring fiercely at Ye Zhi, "Who’s stealing your fiancé? Don’t make baseless accusations." Then, turning to those who stood up for her, she adopted a pitiful, tearful expression, "Don’t listen to her nonsense, I didn’t do anything, she’s the one bullying."

The two quarreling girls were dressed as either wealthy or noble, not from ordinary families.

Better to avoid trouble if possible. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The spectators whispered among themselves: there are other matters.

Then walked away...

Liu Qingxi, exasperated, couldn’t free her wrist, so she secretly pinched Ye Zhi’s waist.

"Ah."

With a small yelp, Liu Qingxi’s wrist was released.

Ye Zhi was clad in a red cape embroidered with crabapple and purple marten fur, open at the front. She was caught off guard when Liu Qingxi, clinging closely, pinched her waist unexpectedly, causing tears to well up from the pain, her delicate nose turning red.

Unwilling to submit, she prepared to seek justice, her eyes gleaming with a desire for revenge.

Liu Qingxi, unwilling to be caught, quickly dodged behind Shen Chen, feigning weakness and calling for help...

Ye Zhi, furious, circled around, chasing her~

Shen Chen blocked the path, his back stiffened, pretended calmness and softly asked, "You just mentioned a fiancé? What fiancé?"

Inside, he harbored a small hope, his brown eyes fixated on the beautiful young girl before him, longing for her to speak what he wished to hear.

Yet, in the next instant, his hope was dashed.

"I lied to those male gossipers. Those people love meddling and spreading rumors, I didn’t mean to tarnish your reputation," Ye Zhi said, thinking he was upset about his reputation being tarnished, stopping her chase of Liu Qingxi, patiently explaining to the Little Traitor.

Huanhuan clapped her hands and cheered beside her, "Ah Zhi, what you said just now was brilliant, quick-wittedly accusing Liu Qingxi of stealing your fiancé. Those few left in embarrassment, unwilling to say more; surely it was your convincing acting that drove them away."

Qinglian stepped forward and remarked, "Ah Zhi is impressive."

Shen Chen glanced sideways at the other two speaking, realizing how Ah Zhi’s sometimes reckless behavior was encouraged. Just now, it was a complete distortion of truth, accusing others falsely, yet garnering the praise of her companions.
