After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 71: The Severed Hand Misunderstanding

They set up a gambling ring behind her back.

Did she just want them to go bankrupt?

Wuwuwu, mommy help, what kind of crazy person is this?

The man with glasses finally realized, but, he realized too late.

Gao Wenlan finally got up from the ground, still unaware of the man with glasses’ psychological shadow.

She was still thinking about how to regain her standing.

After all, she had been knocked down in front of so many people.

If she couldn’t regain her standing, where would her sister Lan’s face go?

Shi Yaoguang met Gao Wenlan’s hostile gaze and curled her lips into a hook.

"Gao Wenlan, do you still want to fight?"

Gao Wenlan’s face turned gloomy as she swung her fist straight at her.

She had undergone special training; being kicked down before was simply due to her carelessness.

Now, she was about to get serious!

What Gao Wenlan was thinking, Yaoguang didn’t know.

In her eyes, Gao Wenlan’s movements were full of flaws.

Perhaps, in her own eyes, Gao Wenlan’s fist was already formidable.

Maybe there was even some kind of power-up buff.

But in Yaoguang’s eyes, it was like slow motion in a movie.

Light and flimsy, easily punctured with a poke.

Gao Wenlan unexpectedly swung her fist at Yaoguang, thinking she could twist her face and knock out her teeth in one go.

However, when her fist was less than a centimeter away from Yaoguang’s cheek, Yaoguang moved.

She tilted her head, dodging her attack.

Then, she opened her palm and wrapped it around her fist.

The force on Gao Wenlan’s fist was instantly neutralized.

Before she could express her astonishment, Yaoguang increased her force.

"Crack crack," a series of crisp sounds, Gao Wenlan’s knuckles were brutally crushed.

The moment Yaoguang let go, her fist had already loosened powerlessly, hanging straight down by her waist.

It was like...

It was broken.

Gao Wenlan moved her hand, only to discover in horror that her palm no longer obeyed her commands.

Shock instantly crossed her face.

How could this happen?

How could this happen?!

In fear, Gao Wenlan’s tears began to fall, "My, my hand won’t move anymore!"

At those words, her followers and the man with glasses all turned to look at her at once.

Gao Wenlan truly regretted it at that moment.

She should never have provoked this scourge.

Only at this moment did she suddenly remember something.

On the day of registration, Nie Feng tried to hit her with a basketball, but she kicked it back and defeated him.

But that incident was treated by everyone as an accident.

If Gao Wenlan had known Yaoguang had such skills, she would have never followed Yaoguang to the blind spot of the surveillance.

In a surveillance blind spot, even if they were beaten, there would be no evidence!

Yaoguang looked at her with tears streaming down, and her eyebrows slightly raised.

Gao Wenlan had been at odds with her from the start and even brought people to corner her.

She had thought the opponent had a really tough bone.

Who would have thought that just by pinching Gao Wenlan’s knuckles, she would cry like this.

It was simply...

Too disappointing.

Gao Wenlan met Yaoguang’s eyes, feeling even more aggrieved.

"What, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What did I do?"

Yaoguang looked innocent, "It was you who couldn’t stand me and wanted to hit me first, right?"

Clutching the arm that felt as if it was broken, Gao Wenlan glared at her and left a fierce remark, "Don’t think you can be proud for breaking my hand. Wait until I tell the teacher, let’s see what you have to say then!"

Shi Yaoguang showed confusion on her face, "Tell the teacher? Don’t you think tattling to the teacher is a very embarrassing thing to do?"

"Hmm, don’t think that just because you say that, I’m going to let you off, just wait for the teacher to kick you out!"

Having said that, she walked away with an air of triumph, her entourage in tow.

Watching their retreating backs, Shi Yaoguang shook her head with a touch of regret.

She had actually wanted a chance to get into a fight, such a pity.

Had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have wasted time talking. Wouldn’t it have been more enjoyable to get straight to the action?

Luckily, Gao Wenlan and her group were unaware of her regret, otherwise they would definitely have questioned life itself.

Gao Wenlan was escorted by her little posse, treating her as if she were a precious treasure, and brought her up to the school infirmary, arm and all.

It so happened that Chen Shu was on duty.

At first glance, seeing the girl with fishbone braids and black, tear-stained streaks on her face, he blurted out in shock, "A ghost!!!"

Gao Wenlan and her followers were startled, instinctively ducking to the side, "A ghost? Where’s the ghost?"

Chen Shu: "..."

He cleared his throat, "Just kidding, there’s no ghost."

Gao Wenlan: "..."

Her followers: "..."

After a moment of silence, Gao Wenlan presented her cradled arm for Chen Shu to examine.

"I think my hand might be broken," said Gao Wenlan, her voice heavy.

Without waiting for Chen Shu to examine it carefully, she started to cry again.

Chen Shu swallowed hard, "You, you stop crying first!"

Saying so, he squeezed the area around the base of her thumb, asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt."

He tried another spot, "How about now?"

"It doesn’t hurt."

Upon hearing her reply, Chen Shu suddenly looked alarmed, "Your hand, it really has no feeling?"

Gao Wenlan first nodded and then shook her head.

Chen Shu was puzzled, "What do you mean by nodding and then shaking your head?"

"When you squeeze my hand, I can feel it, but it doesn’t hurt."

Hearing Gao Wenlan’s explanation, Chen Shu was at a loss for words.

This changed his caution greatly, as he directly pressed her finger joints, "How about this, does it hurt?"

Gao Wenlan: "... it seems, it doesn’t hurt?"

Chen Shu: "You need to be clear, what do you mean by ’it seems’ it doesn’t hurt?"

Gao Wenlan also felt a bit embarrassed as she belatedly realized that, indeed, it didn’t actually hurt.

To be precise, her hand...

Probably, possibly, should be, maybe... wasn’t broken.

With this thought in mind, she pulled her hand back.

Then, she moved it around herself.

All five fingers moved nimbly, showing no sign of issue whatsoever.

Chen Shu: "..."

Gao Wenlan: "..."

Her entourage: "..."

A farcical medical examination ended awkwardly.

After confirming that her hand was fine, Gao Wenlan couldn’t help but blame Shi Yaoguang.

"It’s all Shi Yaoguang’s fault, not clarifying things. If she had made things clear, how could I have ended up so embarrassed?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu, intrigued, said, "What does this have to do with Shi Yaoguang?"

Gao Wenlan cast an eye at the gossip-hungry Chen Shu and recounted the entire incident.

After listening, Chen Shu couldn’t help but click his tongue twice, "Classic her."

Gao Wenlan furrowed her brows, "You know her?"

"Know her, know her," said Chen Shu while earnestly giving her a piece of advice, "Listen to this brother’s advice, don’t try to mess with her. You can’t outplay her."

Gao Wenlan looked at him and, without agreeing, left with her followers.

As soon as she left, Chen Shu couldn’t wait to share Shi Yaoguang’s latest exploits with Jiu Yanchuan.

...

Having lost face in front of Shi Yaoguang, Gao Wenlan didn’t think about getting back at her for the moment.

And so, she spent a day safely and quietly in the special class.
