Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2335 - 2271: Don’t Talk About Death So Casually

Did he honestly believe that by refusing to stop, he could escape Chiang Xiao?

Gao Wei was already aware of Chiang Xiao’s terrifying speed. However, he pushed himself to the limit, convinced he was sprinting faster than he ever had during his drills at the Supervisor Guard Academy!

The agonizing cries of his followers echoed behind him.

Gao Wei’s heart hammered against his ribs, yet the sound of Chiang Xiao’s footsteps was nowhere to be heard. As he whipped his head around, a fist was already hurtling toward his face.

His pupils contracted in fear. Relying on his sharpest reflexes, Gao Wei jerked his head to the side, desperate to evade the strike.

But a split second later, a second fist slammed violently into his nose.

Bang.

Chiang Xiao arched an eyebrow and asked, "Did you think I’d only punch once?"

The force of the blow sent Gao Wei reeling, his head snapping backward. Stars danced before his eyes as a wave of disorientation washed over him.

It was only when he felt the warm sensation of liquid sliding down his nasal cavity that he realized his nose was beginning to bleed profusely.

Clutching his face, he tilted his head back and bellowed at Chiang Xiao in a rage, "Are you crazy? Chiang Xiao, how dare you hit me?"

"You’re Gao Wei, aren't you?" Chiang Xiao remarked, coolly cracking her knuckles as she watched him.

"Are you joking? Do you really not recognize me? I am Gao Wei!" A flicker of hope rose in Gao Wei’s heart. He wondered if Chiang Xiao had simply mistaken him for someone else in her rush to rescue Kuang Yunxian.

Surely, if she knew exactly who he was, she wouldn't have the audacity to strike him, right?

Suddenly, Chiang Xiao launched a punch aimed directly at his left eye.

"Good, then I’m hitting exactly who I meant to!"

A loud bang followed.

Gao Wei felt as though the vision in that eye had completely vanished.

Before he could even process the pain, another strike arrived. With a heavy thud, the punch connected with his right eye.

The agony was so intense that he couldn't even keep his eyes open, and blood continued to pour from his nose. Overwhelmed by panic and fury, Gao Wei screamed, "Chiang Xiao, you crazy woman, are you looking for death?"

"You still have the nerve to shout? I’d suggest you stop mentioning death, because if I lose my temper, I might actually beat you to death!"

As she spoke, Chiang Xiao swung her arm upward, driving it hard into his chin.

With a sickening crunch, the metallic taste of blood filled Gao Wei's mouth.

Terrified and enraged, he struggled to blink his eyes open. Through a narrow slit, he saw Chiang Xiao approaching once more and scrambled backward in retreat.

He was genuinely frightened now!

Chiang Xiao was a complete lunatic!

Did his status mean nothing to her?

Furthermore, how could a young girl possess such overwhelming physical strength?

His eyes, nose, and mouth were all throbbing in such excruciating pain that he could barely find his voice.

"Weren’t you always looking for me?"

He hadn't been looking for her!

Why would he ever want to see her?

"I was told you paid a visit to my teahouse. You smashed several teapots and cups, and you intimidated my guests into leaving before they could pay for their premium orders. Therefore, I've calculated the damages from your tantrum to be fifty-eight thousand."

This figure of fifty-eight thousand was, naturally, a complete fabrication on her part.

In reality, the cost of the broken porcelain and the lost revenue amounted to two thousand yuan at most.

However, Chiang Xiao was no fool; demanding a mere two thousand yuan would be pointless.

If he was going to pay, the amount had to be high enough to truly hurt Gao Wei.

Otherwise, the lesson wouldn't stick.

Upon hearing this, Gao Wei’s irritation flared through his pain.

He yelled out, "That teahouse belongs to you?"

"It does. Is that lucky or unlucky for you?" Chiang Xiao replied with a chilling tone. "Fifty-eight thousand—when will you be paying up? Let me warn you, for every hundred yuan you're short, I’ll knock out one of your teeth!"
