Yun Jian saw Yun Zhu slowly helping Duan Li up from the ground, so she did not rush to help her but went to catch the girl who was leaving after she stepped on Duan Li.
“Jiejie, it doesn’t hurt…” Duan Li had suffered from abuse since a very young age, so when she saw Yun Jian grabbing the girl’s clothes because of her, she tugged the edge of Yun Jian’s clothes to tell her timidly.
Duan Li was worried about Yun Jian getting into a conflict with others over her.
When Duan Li used to get beaten up by her alcoholic father, a middle-aged woman who was their neighbor had come to stop him but her father actually hit this kindhearted woman as well.
Although Duan Li was young, what she had gone through was something a lot of people would not experience all their lives.
Duan Li was afraid that she would cause Yun Jian to get into unnecessary trouble. She was scared of putting Yun Jian in harm because of herself.
Due to her childhood trauma, even when Duan Li seemed lively, active, and would be up to mischief, the loneliness and fear hidden within her was something no one could understand.
Yun Jian crouched down. She could see Duan Li turning pale from being stepped on just now.
Children’s feet were soft and delicate; they could not take the least bit of damage.
Moreover, when the girl went over the railing from the outside just now, she had hopped off said railing that was around half a meter tall directly.
Jumping off that height and stepping on Duan Li’s foot, it was akin to springing up and stomping down on the girl’s foot.
Forget that Duan Li was only a child. Even if it were to happen to an adult, the adult would grimace from being stomped so hard on.
When Yun Jian watched Duan Li tugged her clothes to insist that it did not hurt for her, she felt a certain part in her heart jolt.
“What the f*ck? Are you crazy? I haven’t done a thing to you. Why are you asking me to apologize out of the blue?” The girl had a head of permed wavy hair; one look at her was enough to tell that she was the delinquent kind.
Being a delinquent was not a big deal. If one must compare, Yun Jian was surely the biggest delinquent among the students in Longmen City. She was the boss of Zhe Province’s top gang, after all!
As a person, it was not horrible to join gangs. What was horrible was not admitting things you had done. Denying what one had done was not rare—a lot of people must have done something similar too.
What was repulsive was that not only was this girl not admitting it, her aggressive tone was as if she was right.
“Let go of me, let go! I’ll get someone to beat you up if you don’t let go of me!”
Some people spoke brazenly like they knew some invincible people just because they were delinquents and knew some local thugs.
Such was the girl. She regarded Yun Jian in disdain out of the corner of her eyes and struggled to pry Yun Jian’s hand off from grabbing her wrist.
People around them saw the scene just now and they thought that Yun Jian was right.
“Young lady, we kept quiet when you cut the queue just now but it’s unreasonable now when you refuse to apologize after stepping on her young sister.”
A tall young man with a beer belly who was lined up in front told the girl on behalf of Yun Jian as he, too, had witnessed what happened.
Before he could finish, however, the girl cut him off. “P*ss off, fat *ss! What does it have to do with you?”
The girl turned back to look at Yun Jian as she cursed, “Are you letting go or not? I’ll ask my friends to catch you and beat you up otherwise!”
The girl’s insolent words, in exchange, had only gotten the same single-worded demand from Yun Jian.
“Apologize!”
