Chapter 215: Chapter 204 Thorn
Chapter 215 -204 Thorn
Lu Jiaxin was not afraid. Mo Hongwei said those things just to intimidate them and then make a big deal small, a small affair settled. However, this was not what she wanted.
Conveniently, there was a phone on the office desk. Lu Jiaxin walked over, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. Once the call connected, she asked, “Lawyer Bai, my deskmate was bullied at school, and in trying to save a fellow student, I accidentally dislocated the bully’s arm. Now my homeroom teacher says that this constitutes a school fight and wants to expel me. Will I be expelled?”
This Lawyer Bai was Gu Xiuxiu’s personal lawyer. Gu Xiuxiu said if there were any legal questions, just go straight to him.
Mo Hongwei was so scared that he hurriedly hung up the phone. “Lu Jiaxin, what are you doing?”
Lu Jiaxin said mockingly, “Didn’t you say you would expel me? Then I definitely have to consult a lawyer to see if my actions really merit expulsion.”
After speaking, Lu Jiaxin grabbed Cui Zhihui’s arm and said, “You are the victim, it’s impossible for anyone to expel you. If anyone dares to expel you, just sue them. If you can’t sue, find a reporter to expose them.”
Mo Hongwei’s face turned green. He thought Lu Jiaxin was amiable and meek, but he never expected her to be such a thorn in his side.
Just then, the phone rang. Mo Hongwei answered it and after hearing the self-introduction on the other end, he knew he couldn’t cover this up by himself.
Half an hour later, Lawyer Bai’s apprentice came. It was a minor case, and he felt it was enough for his apprentice to handle.
Lu Jiaxin detailed the process once over: “Ten minutes after I dislocated his arm, he was sent to the hospital. There should be no problem now.”
The best thing for such people is to be missing arms or legs. However, this is too bloody for school and troublesome if you seriously injure the other party.
After handing the matter over to Lawyer Bai’s apprentice, Lu Jiaxin headed back to school with Cui Zhihui. On their way back, Cui Zhihui whispered her thanks.
Looking at her background information, Lu Jiaxin felt that she was quite unlucky. If her father had always been a gambling addict, leaving the family poor, she would have grown accustomed to it and still grown strong; but for a child of about ten to suddenly face a broken family and even a problem as where to live, it was very cruel.
Lu Jiaxin said, “Since I’ve come across this, I can’t just ignore it. But Cui Zhihui, I can help you the first or second time, I can’t always be there to help you. If you don’t want to be bullied, you have to stand up for yourself.”
“Actually, those ‘ugly guys’ are just paper tigers. The more you fear them, the more they will prey on you. If you bare your teeth and fight back, they won’t dare to bully you anymore.”
In a voice as tiny as a mosquito’s, Cui Zhihui replied, “Fighting at school can lead to expulsion.”
Lu Jiaxin scoffed, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. Teachers are just afraid of making a big deal that might affect the school’s reputation, so they use expulsion to scare us. We are not in the wrong in this scenario. If they dare to expel us, we will use legal means to protect ourselves.”
“I don’t have money.”
Lu Jiaxin responded, “We can ask for legal aid. Government legal aid is free. If not, I’ll lend you money for the lawsuit, and you can pay me back once you start working.”
How could she feel that this girl was even less familiar with Hong Kong than herself!
Clenching her fists, Cui Zhihui spoke after a long pause, “I’ll listen to you. If they dare to bully me again, I’ll fight them.”
Lu Jiaxin nodded; having the courage to fight back was good. She dreaded helping those who just submit to their fate. Once she helped them once, she wouldn’t want a second time.
They returned to school, and the class was already halfway through. Luckily, English was Lu Jiaxin’s strong suit; she didn’t need to make up for missing the class.
As soon as the class ended, the haughty girl in front turned around, her eyes shining as she asked Lu Jiaxin, “I heard you kicked Ji Jiaohan flying and even broke her hand.”
Lu Jiaxin thought the rumor had spread quickly: “I just kicked her once and then dislocated her arm, so she couldn’t hit people anymore.”
Having said that, she turned to the girl sitting in front of her and said, “Zhihui is my deskmate. If any of you see her being bullied, please come and let me know.”
She didn’t expect her classmates to help Zhihui when she was being bullied. There were many who had been in the same class with her for years, and Lu Jiaxin didn’t believe no one had noticed Cui Zhihui being bullied. Some held an attitude of indifference, not concerning themselves unless it affected them, while others were afraid of getting involved, with the latter being the majority.
The girl sitting in front looked up and said, “Sister Xin, don’t worry. If I see anyone bullying Zhihui in the future, I’ll tell you right away.”
A boy from the back came over and asked, “Sister Xin, did you use to practice martial arts or something?”
Uh, she suddenly went from being a classmate to Sister Xin.
Lu Jiaxin nodded and replied, “I learned sanda when I was younger, but I stopped after starting high school because the workload got heavier.”
She continued to practice the Eight Silk Brocade every day, which made her more flexible than before. Additionally, the moves Xiaoxiao taught her were all practical, so her martial arts skills were much stronger than in her previous life.
With ten minutes left in the last class, Lu Jiaxin and Cui Zhihui were called over. When she arrived at the office, Lu Jiaxin saw the ugly guy was there too, standing next to a woman with a fierce look adorned with rolls of fat on her face.
As soon as the woman saw Lu Jiaxin, she began aggressively, “You hurt my daughter, and if you don’t compensate for the medical expenses, I’m going to sue you.”
“How much are the medical expenses?”
“Ten thousand yuan.”
Before Lu Jiaxin could speak, Cui Zhihui pulled her behind herself and took off her school uniform jacket, then pointed to the bruises on her arms, shoulder blades, and back, saying, “These were all caused by Ji Jiaohan. How much are you planning to compensate for my injuries?”
Seeing those fierce and dreadful scars, Lu Jiaxin’s eyes darkened. She put the school uniform jacket back on and said with a cold face, “It’s not just about the medical expenses, she needs to pay the price she deserves.”
The ugly guy glared at Cui Zhihui and said viciously, “I don’t have money, and the worst that could happen is doing three or four years in jail. But watch out when I get out…”
Lu Jiaxin slapped him across the face, “So what if you get out? I can still dislocate your arms and legs and send you back in, to ensure you truly wear out the prison floors.”
The ugly guy didn’t dare to talk tough anymore. From having his arm dislocated to being treated by the TCM doctor, he had fainted from the pain twice and was truly scared.
Not only was the ugly guy unprincipled, but his mother was also making a scene, “You hit my daughter, ten thousand yuan, not a penny less.”
Lu Jiaxin was not afraid of her at all, “I won’t give you a single cent. If you dare, go ahead and sue me, and we’ll see if the judge will rule that I have to pay.”
The apprentice of Lawyer Bai, who had been silent until now, spoke up, “They will surely lose the case, and not only will you not have to pay them, the cost of the lawsuit will have to come out of their pockets as well.”
The ugly guy’s mother immediately started shouting that she had no money, not a single penny.

Previously, Lu Jiaxin had thought from Mo Hongwei’s attitude that the ugly guy’s family had some backing, but now she realized this bastard was just scared of trouble.
Lu Jiaxin asked for Cui Zhihui’s thoughts and, to her surprise, the girl had grown braver with her support, “Sister Xin, I want her to go to jail.”
Only if they both went to jail, could she study for her exams in peace. Otherwise, this woman would definitely come after her again, and she couldn’t allow anything to affect her in the last ten months.
Mo Hongwei immediately followed up, “The school will apply for legal aid for you.”
Cui Zhihui certainly wouldn’t refuse, as the school’s involvement would resolve the issue faster. However, the quick change of face made Lu Jiaxin look down on him.
