The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Lu Yao never checks Moments, so he was unaware of Mr. Lu's rare attempt to show off his child on Moments.

At breakfast, Lu Qi, who usually dislikes milk, surprisingly asked the maid to replace his soy milk with milk. Lu Yao looked at him in surprise.

Noticing Lu Yao's gaze and recalling that they were still in a cold war, Lu Qi stiffened his neck and said awkwardly, "W... What's wrong? Is there a problem with me switching to milk?"

Lu Yao silently shifted his gaze away, finding it odd.

After breakfast, the two went their separate ways to school.

Riding his bicycle, Lu Yao saw Chu Jiaojiao approaching from the front, carrying her backpack, with a scowl and a look of rage.

Recalling how his father had once again unthinkingly sided with Summer Yue and reprimanded him, Chu Jiaojiao kicked the wall beside her in frustration.

"Crack."

A sharp pain shot through her ankle, and Chu Jiaojiao winced, muttering to herself, "Why am I so unlucky? Just kicking a wall and I twist my ankle!"

As Lu Yao approached from the opposite direction, he witnessed the entire range of Chu Jiaojiao's facial expressions.

Once the pain subsided, Chu Jiaojiao looked up and saw Lu Yao riding his bicycle toward her.

Their eyes met in the air, and Chu Jiaojiao's face flushed with embarrassment.

Damn it! Why did it have to be the transfer student?

Chu Jiaojiao was about to collapse. Did he see anything? Ahhh! She was really going crazy. Was the heavens conspiring against her today? She had just scolded him yesterday and now had to deal with this embarrassing situation!

Chu Jiaojiao quickly crouched down, burying her head, pretending to tie her shoelaces seriously.

Seeing Chu Jiaojiao's awkwardness, Lu Yao pretended not to notice and rode past her.

Hearing the sound of Lu Yao's bicycle wheels passing by, Chu Jiaojiao cautiously looked up, sighed in relief, and finally stood up.

Not far from where Lu Yao rode, Chu Jiaojiao suddenly heard a sharp, reprimanding voice from behind.

"What do you want? Get out of my way!"

Chu Jiaojiao glared at two small-time thugs blocking her path.

The blonde-haired thug smirked wickedly, "Look at this school uniform. Is this the young lady from Huiying High School? How about it? Want to hang out with us? We can show you some fun stuff."

Chu Jiaojiao angrily swatted away the blonde thug's hand with her backpack, her voice filled with disgust and a hint of unease.

"Go away, don't touch me! Otherwise, I'll call the police."

The blonde thug and his lackeys exchanged glances and smirked.

Blonde Thug: "Go ahead and report us! See if you even get the chance. When the time comes, I'll bring a bunch of reporters to cover the story of you, the young lady, and us brothers. When you become famous, don't forget to thank us."

Chu Jiaojiao had never encountered such ruffians before.

Seeing the blonde thug closing in on her, she instinctively took a step back, shrinking in fear.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a bicycle approaching at high speed. The blonde thug, frightened, turned pale and hurriedly stepped back.

"Screech—" The harsh sound of the bicycle's brakes echoed through the street.
