Chapter 30: Stomach Ache

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Bei was usually so busy with work that his meal times were often irregular. Over time, he has found that his stomach wasn’t as good as before. Now, if he didn’t eat properly or ate spicy food, it would start aching right away.

When Huo Man said that they were going to eat at the food stalls, Xu Feng had originally wanted to remind Shen Bei not to eat spicy food.

But it seemed that Shen Bei really couldn’t resist putting up a brave face in front of Huo Man.

Fortunately, Huo Man was very attentive and treated Shen Bei well. She had asked to go to the pharmacy all on her own.

Xu Feng couldn’t help but feel happy for his Young Master. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see how much Shen Bei cared for Huo Man.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of a pharmacy. Huo Man opened the door and got out of the car, before turning to Shen Bei and saying, “You wait here.”

Shen Bei didn’t refuse. He quietly leaned back on his chair and gently held his abdomen, waiting for Huo Man to return.

“Young Master Shen, Miss Huo’s really nice to you.” Xu Feng couldn’t help but comment.

Even though Shen Bei didn’t respond, Xu Feng could clearly see hints of joy on his face.

Soon, Huo Man came back with some medicine and a bottle of water.

“Take some medicine as having a stomach ache isn’t very good.” Huo Man handed him the medicine and the water bottle. “Next time, just tell me if you can’t eat spicy foods.”

There was a subtle hint of blame in Huo Man’s tone. Shen Bei nodded and took the medicine while still enduring the pain in his stomach.

But after taking the medicine, Shen Bei’s stomach ails were finally relieved.

Seeing as he was no longer clutching his stomach in pain, Huo Man finally got to relax. She would have felt bad if Shen Bei fell ill because of her.

It was already late when she got home.

As soon as Huo Man reached her door, she was able to hear the sound of sobbing coming from inside.

She didn’t even have to guess to know what happened. That Huo Yan must have been taught a lesson by those school punks.

It was Huo Yan’s own fault for trying to make her suffer. She never would have imagined that Huo Man, a mere country bumpkin in her eyes, wasn’t someone she could trifle with!

She pushed open the door and looked coldly at the family of four huddled in the living room. She went straight towards the kitchen to get a glass of water.

“Stop!”

But before she could do so, Liang Yu’s angry voice stopped her.

Huo Man stopped and turned to look at the angry Liang Yu and Huo Yan, with the latter’s face covered in bruises.

She had to admit that those men were truly brutal. They actually really beat up the campus belle, Huo Yan, to this extent.

“Is there anything?” Huo Man asked without a care in the world.

“Huo Man! Did you have anything to do with Huo Yan getting beaten up?!” Huo Cheng stared at Huo Man and asked.

Huo Man sneered, “Do you think I can find someone to deal with Huo Yan as a new incoming student at Jiali High? Aren’t I just a country bumpkin? How did I become so powerful?”

Huo Man’s words left Liang Yu and Huo Cheng speechless.

Indeed, today was Huo Man’s first day at that school. How could she have gotten to know her classmates so quickly and even manage to have them deal with Huo Yan?

“Who else could it be besides you?!” Huo Yan refused to believe it and kept insisting that it was Huo Man who got her injured.

Huo Man walked up to Huo Yan and looked at her swollen face. Sneering, she said, “Weren’t you the one who tried to make things difficult for me in the first place? Why? Now, you’re calling me ruffian?”

“I didn’t even have the chance to ask questions, let alone do that. When I went to see the principal, he actually told me that no one had informed him of my transfer.”

“Are you guys just playing with me?”

The closer Huo Man got to her, the more oppressive she felt. All the other Huo Family faces turned ugly.

“Of course we aren’t playing you! It’s probably because the principal hasn’t received the news yet.” Liang Yu argued.

Huo Man snorted and ignored her. She turned to Huo Yan and said, “Huo Yan, you’re the one who got beat up and you’re blaming it on me. Though, why don’t you first think of what you did wrong?”

After saying that, Huo Man turned to leave.

“Huo Man! I’ll continue to investigate this matter! You’d better behave yourself at school and not cause trouble!” Huo Cheng frowned as he looked at her receding back before adding, “And don’t come back home so late in the future! Since you’re part of the Huo Family again, you’ll have to follow our rules! How can a young lady of a noble family wander outside so late at night!”
