Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Jiaqian's eyes. "You help me get close to her, become good friends with her, and find out what her background is. On the other hand, you can also keep an eye on how far she is progressing with my brother."

"Why make it so complicated? This isn't like you at all. Why not just take her to the alley and teach her a lesson?" He Jiaojiao said dismissively.

"This time seems different. Before, it was those women who were bothering my brother, but this time I found out that my brother seems to like her. Please help me out. Don't you like this bracelet? I'll give it to you." Lin Jiaqian said obsequiously. She knew Shen Yan's temper and dared not anger him.

He Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she saw the limited edition bracelet. "Okay, as your friend, of course I'm on your side."

Lin Jiaqian thought to herself, "What true friends are these? This woman is only helping me because of the bracelet. I never trust anyone."

"I'm going to school now. We'll contact each other by phone if anything comes up," He Jiaojiao said before heading into the school.

Lin Jiaqian turned around and went back to the car, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Any woman who coveted her brother deserved to die; her brother would always belong to her alone.

On the other side, Gu Zhihua and Bai Qianqian chatted all the way to the bottom of the teaching building.

"Sister-in-law, class is about to start, let's part ways here. Anyway, we've added each other on WeChat, so we can keep in touch anytime," Bai Qianqian said with a smile.

"Okay, but you have to come home with me for dinner tonight. See you at the school gate after school." Gu Zhihua said, and left without waiting for her to reply.

Bai Qianqian originally wanted to say that she had something to do tonight, but seeing Gu Zhihua's warm invitation, and being someone who couldn't refuse people, she could only smile and cancel her evening tutoring class.

Bai Qianqian walked into the teaching building and had just reached the first floor when she was stopped by two men in the hallway.

"Hey beautiful, new here?" A man sauntered in, blocking her way.

Bai Qianqian had always been a bit timid and a well-behaved girl. Seeing this situation, she was frightened and wanted to back away, but another man blocked her way. "Don't be so nervous. It's just making friends. What's there to be afraid of?"

"What...what are you doing? This is a school." Bai Qianqian's voice trembled, her hands gripping her bag tightly.

"What can we do? We just want to be friends with you. If you become my girlfriend, no one will dare to bully you at school." The man had a wicked grin on his face.

"Let me go." Bai Qianqian wanted to leave.

The man grinned wickedly and walked towards her step by step. "If you don't agree to my terms, I won't let you leave."

Bai Qianqian saw him approaching step by step, waving her bag, "Don't come any closer..."

"What are you doing? I've already called security." A woman appeared behind them.

"You slut, why are you meddling in other people's business?" a man said, looking at the woman behind him.

"If you don't leave now, you'll be arrested," the woman threatened.

"Just you wait." One man glared at the woman and left, followed by the other man.

"Are you alright?" He Jiaojiao walked over and asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine." Bai Qianqian was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"It's alright, don't be afraid. These two are just good-for-nothing students. They're just trying to take advantage of you because you're pretty," He Jiaojiao said.

"Thank you so much, you're really amazing, you chased them away so easily." Bai Qianqian calmed herself down. She had always been well protected by her parents, so she was afraid and didn't know how to handle such a situation.

"They're just bullies who prey on the weak. It's okay, you'll stay with me from now on, and they won't bully you," He Jiaojiao said, trying to get closer to him.

"Okay, nice to meet you." Bai Qianqian is very naive and easily trusts people.

"Let's add each other on WeChat, and then we can hang out together." He Jiaojiao struck while the iron was hot, her mission finally accomplished, and she had successfully gotten close to Bai Qianqian.

Bai Qianqian took out her phone, and they exchanged WeChat contacts. The two then chatted as they walked to the classroom.

Where Bai Qianqian couldn't see, He Jiaojiao secretly sent a message: "[Well done, don't show up again.]"

Gu Zhihua returned to the classroom.

Mo Yiqing and Su Xintian then gathered around.

"You're finally back at school! I've missed you so much!" Mo Yiqing said coquettishly.

"I was just saying I'd come see you this weekend. How are you feeling?" Su Xintian chimed in.

"Everything is normal, just treat me like a normal person." Gu Zhihua felt there was nothing seriously wrong; being pregnant doesn't turn you into a porcelain doll.

"I can't afford to be careless. If I don't protect you, my uncle will skin me alive," Mo Yiqing said playfully.

"You're married now, and with Lu Yanjing protecting you, why are you still so afraid of your uncle?" Gu Zhihua joked.

"You have no idea, Lu Yanjing is even more timid than me when he sees my uncle," Mo Yiqing complained.

"Is your uncle really that scary?" Gu Zhihua was amused.

"Of course you don't find it scary. He cherishes you like a precious gem. Even if you turn the world upside down, he'll still spoil you." Mo Yiqing felt that her description was not an exaggeration at all.

"By the way, why don't you all go to Moyuan for dinner tonight? Invite your husbands too. I'll just let A-Ting know." Gu Zhihua thought to herself, it's been a long time since everyone got together, so why not take advantage of the opportunity?

"Great! I love this kind of lively atmosphere," Mo Yiqing agreed.

"Okay, I'll send a message to He Jinzhou later," Su Xintian said.

"Did you know that Bai Qianqian transferred to our school?" Gu Zhihua asked casually.

"Yes, I know. She just transferred here last week. I heard she's recovered, and her mother agreed to let her come," Mo Yiqing replied.

"I invited her tonight too. I quite like her; she's very innocent and cute." Gu Zhihua had a very good impression of her.

It was almost time for school to end.

Bai Qianqian packed her things, picked up her bag, and headed out.

"Qianqian, let's go together," He Jiaojiao quickly said.

"I'm sorry, I made an appointment with a friend today and I'm going to wait for her at the school gate," Bai Qianqian said apologetically.

"It's okay, let's walk to the school gate together." He Jiaojiao took her hand.

The two walked out of the classroom together. He Jiaojiao deliberately struck up a conversation to probe, "By the way, where do you live?"

"My home isn't in Kyoto. I just came here to study and rented a place near the school," Bai Qianqian said truthfully.

"Not from Kyoto, so she doesn't have any background? This kind of woman is the easiest to deal with," He Jiaojiao thought to herself.

"Oh, I see. You must be careful when you live alone, so you don't run into bad people again," He Jiaojiao said, feigning concern.

"I understand, thank you for your concern. The security there is very good," Bai Qianqian replied politely with a smile.

The two chatted as they walked to the school gate.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, "Qianqian."
