Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman

Chapter 91 – Guarding Against Deceit (防贼)

The image of the murder scene from her past life flashed through Jing Yunzhao’s mind. Her body sti?ened as hatred arose within her heart.

However, this surge of hatred did not remain for long. The porcelain jar in her hands emitted a wave of cold air, aiding her in slowly calming down. This was not her past life so she would not allow things to end up as they did!

“H-how dare you talk to me like that!” It was the first time Qiao Weimin had seen such an attitude coming from Jing Yunzhao. Her eyes looked as if she was going to eat someone, unexpectedly making him feel fear for a brief moment!

Fear? Jing Yunzhao was merely a stinky lass. Even if she dared to present herself like this, did she have the ability to do so!?

Jing Yunzhao kept control of her emotions and glanced at Qiao Weimin in disgust. She walked past him with absolutely no intentions of stopping.

Qiao Weimin wanted to obstruct her again, yet with a sharp wave of Jing Yunzhao’s hand, his footsteps instantly faltered. Qiao Weimin staggered and fell to the ground. He could only watch her go with large strides.

“You bastard, you dare make a move on me! You must think that your wings have matured and hardened! [1] Just you wait, this old man will definitely make you kneel and admit your mistakes one day! You cheap whore, just one day I don’t discipline my kid, don’t let yourself fall into my hands...”[2] Watching as only Jing Yunzhao’s shadow remained, Qiao Weimin started to curse and swear at her behind her back.

[1] (T/N: ‘Wings have hardened and matured’ = 翅膀长硬; usually implies that the person in mention no longer obeys people and does things independently)

[2] (T/N: I have no idea how to translate this pardon me)

The people behind him were instantly flabbergasted. Once Qiao Weimin turned back around, every single one turned their head away and pretended as if they did not know him.

Although Qiao Weimin was a little full of himself in the past, he had still appeared human. Who would have thought that his actual character was a scoundrel, who was not even willing to show mercy to a kid? Why would anyone want to have close relations with this kind of person? It would be better to distance themselves away from him in the future, what if they got cheated by him!

Qiao Weimin was not only unable to catch the chicken but lost the grain.[3]

Never mind the fact that he did not get his hands on the money, he had even been isolated by everyone!

[3] (T/N: ‘unable to catch the chicken, but lost the grain’ = 捉鸡不成蚀把米; implies wanting to take advantage of others, but losing out instead)

The town wasn’t large. At every turn, there would be people gossiping, with people becoming other’s dinner conversations. Once Qiao Weimin thought that people would criticise him behind his back in the future, he grew even angrier. He couldn’t stay in the town much longer, so he decided to return to the county.

Jing Yunzhao boarded the earliest bus, so she was not late for school.

She stashed the jar in her dimensional space, keeping it safe.

As it got closer to noon, Qiao Weimin arrived at the school gates. Ever since he created a scene earlier, he had left an impression in the minds of the security guards, Now, the moment they saw him, they immediately swarmed towards him and surrounded him, hoping to prevent the worst.

Qiao Weimin was someone who bullied the weak but feared the strong. Compared to before, he was much more courteous as he greeted, “Brothers, what happened last time was due to a slight misunderstanding. Today, I’m not here to create trouble, I just want to find my daughter...”

“The school has already informed us that Jing Yunzhao has no familial ties to you. If you insist on looking for her, then it has to be under our supervision. Also, you need to first tell us what this is about,” the security purposely countered.

“No, no. My daughter is Qiao Hongye, from Class 2, my flesh and blood. I’m not looking for Jing Yunzhao.” Qiao Weimin declared.

He felt uncomfortable. Who would have been so guarded against him in the past? It’s all that bastard’s fault!

The security guards looked at him suspiciously and made a call to ask the teachers. After receiving confirmation, they contacted Qiao Hongye and asked her to meet her visitor.

It was almost noon, and school was almost over. When Qiao Hongye heard that Qiao Weimin was here, her face turned sour.

Her schoolmates had witnessed her father causing a ruckus here previously. Now that school was almost over and everyone would be leaving when she returned, wouldn’t it mean that everyone would see her with her father.

However, Qiao Hongye cared about her “face” (reputation). Seeing the sharp, worried gaze of her teacher, she stood up politely. Once she left the classroom, she ran to the school gates, and without saying anything, pulled Qiao Weimin into a less conspicuous place.

“Dad, why are you looking for me so urgently, do you need something?” Qiao Hongye’s expression was sincere, and her attitude was also obedient and sensible.
