The driver of the car next to Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t so lucky. His forehead slammed into the steering wheel with a loud BANG.

He rubbed his head, anger flaring up inside him. ’What kind of driving is that from the car next to me!’

’The nerve of them not to yield to me! How outrageous! I’m the biggest playboy in the Imperial City!’

His life was all about driving luxury cars and looking at beautiful women. The accident happened because he was busy groping the beauty in his passenger seat instead of watching the road.

He looked up and saw that the driver next to him was actually a woman—and a stunning one at that.

The moment he saw the beautiful woman, all his anger vanished into thin air. He rubbed his forehead.

Then, he pretended to yell at Gu Jiaojiao, "Hey, what’s your problem? You need to watch where you’re going! You nearly cracked my head open!"

Gu Jiaojiao looked at the greasy young driver’s accusation, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She immediately shot back without any courtesy, "Hey, you’re the one who wasn’t watching the road. Are you just trying to pick a fight?"

"Who gave you the guts to make such baseless accusations? Can’t you see my head is bleeding?" The greasy young man was genuinely angry now.

"What does your bleeding head have to do with me? You were clearly speeding and hit your own steering wheel. You scared us! We haven’t even asked you for compensation for emotional distress."

"You weren’t hurt, so what’s there to compensate? But my head is bleeding, so I’m definitely demanding compensation from both of you."

The middle-aged male driver in front of them had seen a car suddenly dart out from the opposite direction, nearly hitting him.

He had turned pale with fright. If that female driver hadn’t forced him to a stop, his life would have ended right there.

He was undoubtedly overcome with gratitude for Gu Jiaojiao. Seeing the other driver acting so unreasonable and relentless made him furious.

He shot the man a cold glare, snorted, and said, "Let me tell you, I’m not afraid of you. You almost hit me with your car, and I’m going to demand compensation for damages."

Hearing this, the greasy young man grew even angrier. In his entire life, no one had ever dared to speak to him so loudly.

He said furiously, "You... Fine. I won’t argue with you right now. This is all that female driver’s fault. Why was she randomly slamming on the gas for no reason?"

At this, Gu Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow and gave the greasy young man a cold look. "How was I ’randomly slamming on the gas’? If I hadn’t accelerated, was I supposed to just watch you two crash and die in a wreck?"

"..."

Although the beauty was speaking the truth, the greasy young man refused to appreciate it. "If your car hadn’t been in front of me, would I have been unable to see the car ahead?"

"Oh, listen to this. Where did this moron come from? It’s obvious you weren’t paying attention, and now you’re trying to pin the blame on someone else?"

By the end of her sentence, Gu Jiaojiao’s tone was heavy with disdain and mockery.

Seeing the utter contempt and disdain in the beautiful woman’s eyes, a fire of rage ignited in the greasy young man’s heart.

He glared at Gu Jiaojiao. "You... I don’t care! This is your fault, anyway. You have to pay my medical bills, or I’ll sue you for intentional assault."

"Go ahead and sue. If you don’t, you’re a coward. I’ll look down on you," Gu Jiaojiao said arrogantly.

Even the middle-aged driver was stunned by Gu Jiaojiao’s imposing aura, let alone the greasy young man next to her.

"You... you..." The greasy young man was so choked with anger he couldn’t form a complete sentence. He was furious.

He glared at Gu Jiaojiao, looking like he wanted to pounce on her and tear her to pieces but didn’t dare to.

Seeing the greasy young man trembling with rage, Gu Jiaojiao felt absolutely delighted.

"Hmph, you caused this mess, and you want me to take the blame? Not a chance in hell. I wouldn’t even leave a window open for that possibility."

Gu Jiaojiao delivered her stern warning, and as her words faded, the look in her eyes changed.

Her sharp, dark eyes instantly became as deep as a vast ocean, frozen over for a thousand miles. Countless churning waves hid beneath the surface, ready to surge at any moment.

His heart seemed to clench under her gaze. His fingers, resting on the steering wheel, tightened abruptly, veins bulging.

Unwilling to back down, he spat out a threat, "You... you all just wait."

"What now? You’re not going to let me leave? Planning to run home and get your family?" Gu Jiaojiao fired off a triple-barreled question without any courtesy.

"I’ll go get my grandpa! Do you dare wait here for me?"

"I’m hungry. I’m going to Yuetai Restaurant for hot pot first. Tell your grandpa to meet us there. And remember, we’ll leave after we finish eating. We won’t wait."

Hearing the beautiful driver’s incredibly arrogant attitude, the greasy young man’s face flushed crimson.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, Yuetai Restaurant wasn’t a place his family could afford to offend.

So, after shooting Gu Jiaojiao a vicious glare, he cursed resentfully, "You bitch, sooner or later I’m going to teach you a lesson..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Jiaojiao dragged him out of his car and, without another word, started beating him up.

"Who gave you the balls to curse at me? Fu Junyuan, ever heard of him? He’s my little brother."

Gu Jiaojiao spoke arrogantly, like a young delinquent. She could tell at a glance that the greasy young man was a spoiled brat from a rich family.

She had no desire to use her own powerful background to intimidate a brat like him. Dealing with spoiled brats was simple.

’Spoiled brats aren’t afraid of their parents or the authorities; they’re only afraid of other spoiled brats who are even more powerful than them.’

And as it happened, Gu Jiaojiao was exactly that kind of person. She had a "spoiled brat" brother, Fu Junyuan.

So she knew exactly how these brats behaved.

The middle-aged driver heard Gu Jiaojiao’s arrogant words and felt a flicker of contempt himself.

Although he looked down on spoiled brats, his gratitude toward the beautiful driver remained.

So he could only hold his nose and say, "He got what he deserved. Someone like him needs to be taught a lesson. Thank you for your help today. I have other business to attend to, so I’ll be leaving."

After saying his piece, the middle-aged driver started his car and left, afraid of getting involved with a young delinquent like Gu Jiaojiao.

"Miss, I’m begging you, please stop hitting me! I... I was blind and didn’t know who I was dealing with. Please forgive my offense."

The greasy young man had wanted to refer to himself arrogantly as ’this young master,’ but he was afraid Gu Jiaojiao would beat him again, so he humbled himself to ’I’.

"I don’t have a ’little brother’ like you. Get lost. And next time you’re driving, watch the damn road. Don’t let me see you again."

After the beating, Gu Jiaojiao acted as if nothing had happened, got back into the driver’s seat, and started the car to go get hot pot.

Seeing this, Second Brother Gu immediately said with admiration, "Jiaojiao, does your hand hurt? Next time you want to beat someone up, just let your second brother handle it."

"Haha, by the time I called for you, it would’ve been too late. I only hit him because I couldn’t stand it anymore," Gu Jiaojiao said, her face blossoming into a smile.

"I really didn’t react in time. I never expected you to just start beating up that greasy guy," Second Brother Gu said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Li Xiulan, on the other hand, was staring at her sister-in-law, dumbfounded. ’So she’s this fierce.’

The greasy young man lay on the ground, dazedly watching Gu Jiaojiao’s cool, departing figure. "Hey, you haven’t told me your name yet!"

The beauty in his passenger seat felt deep contempt, but she put on a smiling face and said, "She’s already far away, she can’t hear you!"

"Get lost. This is all your fault."
