Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman chapter 2 - The Lucky Star that Fends Off Evil

Thinking of the past, Jing Yunzhao wanted to give these people what they deserve. But she knew clearly that she’s only a powerless girl right now. If she were to do something, the one who’d get hurt would be herself!

“Jiejie (T/N: big sister), you’re awake? Thank God, Mom is already sick, I was scared you would too…” Qiao Hongye said as if she actually cared.

Ye Qin’s face was pale. Her illness had already spread to her vital organs. If she remembered correctly, Ye Qin’s passing should be near. They should’ve already made preparations.

“Yunzhao, you insensible child. Your mom is still sick. Instead of staying home and helping her, you’re out there with some delinquents. Do you know what could’ve happened if it were for the policeman passing by?!” Qiao Weimin said, acting as if he was a good father.

The reason why she fainted this time was all thanks to Qiao Hongye.

Jing Yunzhao’s only 15 years old this year, but she’s already in high school. (T/N: In China, 15 is the age you should be finishing junior high. Please correct me if I’m wrong.) Yesterday was Friday. It was after school when she was getting ready to get on the bus. She came across a bunch of delinquents who forced her to stay. They acted as if they were acquainted with her and tried touching her here and there in front of numerous other passing students. They then took her into a valley. If it weren’t for a passing policeman, her innocence probably would’ve been spoiled!

Originally, she didn’t even know that all of this had been planned until after Ye Qin’s death when she saw Qiao Hongye together with those delinquents. That was when everything became clear!

Qiao Hongye is younger than her by almost a year. She never thought she would this be scheming, this cruel!

“Dad, you know that my grades are ranked number one in the whole school. Even number two is far behind me. Do you think a student like me would have any relationships with delinquents? Those people were obviously bullying me,” Jing Yunzhao said without a qualm.

If this were the past, she’s endure and apologize. But now, she’s not planning on getting along with them so why should she act cautiously?

When Qiao Hongye heard Jing Yunzhao say this, her face turned red and then white.

She, Jing Yunzhao, and Qiao Zizhao attend the same school, but the only difference was her brother’s horrible grades. He got in by using bribery, and she, herself, worked hard to get in and could only get number two of the entire school!

Jing Yunzhao seemed like a big mountain. Her grades were always better than hers. No matter how hard she worked, it was never close to enough!

But with Qiao Hongye’s age, she should be in the grade level below Jing Yunzhao’s. When Jing Yunzhao entered junior high, Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou felt displeased. They did all they could to make Ye Qin pull some strings and let them attend school earlier thus resulting in them three being in the same grade.

“Mom, my teacher said my grades can improve, but I just can’t focus on my studies lately the way jiejie does. I’m worried about your body, mom. I’m really scared. I can’t focus in my classes. I can’t even sleep well…” Qiao Hongye said while hugging Ye Qin’s arm.

Ye Qin always looked at Qiao Hongye with eyes full of affection. She was her biological child after all.

Jing Yunzhao’s heart became cold.

She respected Ye Qin. She did raise her for all these years, but she couldn’t help but feel cold and bitter.

Ye Qin rarely showed such loving expressions to her. Most of the smiles she had seen all seemed somewhat fake. Since she was little, she’s been told to do this and that for Qiao Hongye. If she ever refused, Ye Qin would get mad and yell at her.

In the past, she never understood why she, who was also her daughter, was treated so differently. But now she understands.

She was only a baby Ye Qin found and not birthed. At that time, Ye Qin was already pregnant. She wanted to throw Jing Yunzhao away, but she was scared of committing a sin. She couldn’t calm her heart so she went to a fortune teller. The fortune teller told her that Jing Yunzhao may have a difficult life, but to Ye Qi’s children, she’s a lucky star. She will fend off evil and promise a peaceful future for her kids.
