Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Dabai’s Punishment 1
Ji Yebai knitted his brows, wondering why this girl had come.
Ning Xixi clutched her little fists, staring straight at him, her shoulders trembling. "Is Qiaoqiao really that bad? Why did you give him zero points?"
No matter the reason, giving zero points was too hurtful, wasn’t it?
She could disregard others, but she couldn’t do the same to Qiaoqiao!
"This is a recitation competition, not some talent show reliant on sympathy for scores!" Ji Yebai’s eyes were deep, his voice cold as ice.
Seeing Ning Xixi so protective of Qiao Nancheng, he felt... extremely displeased!
Certainly, Ji Yebai wasn’t wrong, but Ning Xixi still felt terribly uneasy inside.
She couldn’t accept his coldness.
When Qiao Nancheng saw her coming, he jumped off the stage and anxiously grabbed her sleeve. "Don’t, don’t blame him..."
He guessed that Ning Xixi might have misunderstood something.
"Qiaoqiao, don’t be afraid, I’m here for you!" Ning Xixi glared at Ji Yebai, filled with righteous indignation.
What a foolish woman! Thinking thus, Ji Yebai blurted out, "Idiot!"
"Yes, I am foolish, not as smart as you. But at least I know not to mock others for their flaws!" Ning Xixi stubbornly bit her lip. "You giving Qiaoqiao zero points is just wrong!"
The scene grew restless, with many people taking photos and videos with their phones. A cold glance from Ji Yebai, however, silenced them immediately, and they discreetly put away their phones.
Ji Yebai knew that Ning Xixi and Qiao Nancheng were on good terms, but seeing her so unhesitatingly defend him, his eyes flickered with a trace of sternness.
"Are you going to argue with me over this Qiao idiot?" The voice of the young master was husky.
The crowd watched Ning Xixi with trepidation, all except for Dong Yingluo.
Her eyes squinted into slits with her smile.
What an unexpected pleasure this was.
Originally, she just wanted to teach Qiao Nancheng a lesson, to let him suffer in silence.
She never expected Ning Xixi to show up and argue with Ji Yebai over Qiao Nancheng!
She provocatively said, "Classmate Ning, as Mr. Ji’s girlfriend, isn’t it inappropriate for you to defend another man like this?"
As her words settled, two voices rang out together—
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi spoke at the same time.
Dong Yingluo was left in an awkward position.
Ji Yebai glared at her, "It’s a fight between me and my woman, why are you butting in?"
His words hurt Dong Yingluo more than a slap to the face. Her expression changed, turning into one of grievance and bitterness, "Have you forgotten the photo I sent you..."
A photo she had secretly taken, of Ning Xixi being held by a tall figure.
That photo was Dong Yingluo’s leverage for blackmailing Ji Yebai into being a judge!
In the photo, only Ning Xixi’s side profile was visible; the man wore a loose jacket, and from the build alone, it was impossible to determine who it was.
Ji Yebai’s face was stern, "Are you done?"
Embarrassed, Dong Yingluo thought, at a time like this, shouldn’t Ji Yebai be furiously scolding Ning Xixi? Why was she the one being scolded instead?
Disbelieving, she played her final card, "The man in the photo is Qiao Nancheng! I saw with my own eyes, Qiao Nancheng holding Ning Xixi..."
The crowd sensed gossip in the air, their ears perked up!
Good heavens, could it be that Ning Xixi was two-timing?
Upon hearing this, Ji Yebai slowly narrowed his eyes, emanating a dangerous and chilling aura—
Grasping Ning Xixi’s wrist tightly, he commanded, "Come with me!"
