Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 753: Break and then establish

There’s only one flight from Ge’an to Jingzhou each day, no matter how anxious one feels, they can only wait obediently.

The wait at the airport was dull, so Mei Qingdai asked Zhong Qi to tell her about the history of the White Gloves.

Zhong Qi had a former teammate who, after retiring, worked in Ge’an as a private bodyguard for the owner of a foreign trade company. This former teammate occasionally interacted with the White Gloves and it was from him that Zhong Qi learned about the recent major incident in Ge’an.

Zhong Qi briefly summarized the situation, and Mei Qingdai found herself more and more intrigued.

"Ge’an is such a mess, and it’s all because of the White Gloves. Doesn’t the City Lord do anything about it?"

"The City Lord of Ge’an has already been sidelined by the White Gloves. He has no control over the situation."

Mei Qingdai shook her head, "So chaotic. Now that both of them are dead, things will surely become even worse, right? The people of Ge’an are truly pitiful, they haven’t had a single peaceful day."

Zhong Qi replied, "That may not necessarily be the case. What’s the saying again? Destruction precedes creation."

When a corrupted system dies, a new order will rise from its ashes. To Ge’an, this might well be an opportunity to be reborn through adversity.

Zhong Qi looked at his phone; his friend had sent him a message.

"Rovar has been arrested, the rebellion within the White Gloves has been curbed, and Kuli’s son-in-law, Ma Kui’en, has taken over the position of City Lord. Ma Kui’en has released a public statement claiming that Kuli passed away due to a heart attack and forbidding the spread of any external rumors."

Mei Qingdai was shocked, "So fast?"

From the moment the news broke to the situation coming under control, only two or three hours had passed. Ge’an, it seemed, had already undergone a complete transformation.

Zhong Qi thought for a moment and said, "The person orchestrating everything behind the scenes is incredibly clever. They managed to minimize the harm to civilians. Hopefully, Ge’an can embrace peace moving forward."

Though Mei Qingdai had merely heard of the coup rather than witnessed it herself, she could imagine the bloodshed involved and couldn’t help but shiver.

"Let’s head back quickly."

Just then, the airport announcement signaled that their flight was beginning boarding.

Mei Qingdai glanced around the waiting area but didn’t see that person.

Zhong Qi asked, "Madam, what are you looking for?"

"Nothing. Let’s go."

Mei Qingdai boarded the plane through the VIP boarding gate.

She found her seat, and the adjacent window seat remained empty.

Even as boarding time drew to a close, the seat next to her remained unoccupied.

She scanned the first-class cabin but didn’t see the black-clad girl.

Could she have stayed in Ge’an?

Ge’an is such a mess right now; hopefully, the young girl doesn’t run into any trouble.

As she lifted her head, a familiar dark figure appeared—it was still that person, but the coldness emanating from her seemed even stronger.

The black-clad girl took the window seat next to her. From start to finish, she didn’t glance at Mei Qingdai. This time, she didn’t read but closed her eyes to sleep instead, seemingly exhausted.

Only when the girl fell asleep did Mei Qingdai dare to unabashedly observe her. The girl wore a mask, and the brim of her hat cast a shadow over her face, leaving only a pair of partially closed eyes barely visible beneath the darkness.

Mei Qingdai wrinkled her nose; amid a faint, pleasant fragrance, she caught a trace of an extremely subtle metallic scent.

Her nose was sharp; there was no mistake.

Perhaps the girl was on her period. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Mei Qingdai didn’t think much about it and closed her eyes during the turbulence of takeoff.

As they were about to land at Jingzhou Airport, the black-clad girl beside her finally woke up.

Mei Qingdai greeted her with a smile, "Don’t you think it’s quite the coincidence? We’ve ended up sitting together on two flights now."

The girl turned her head to glance at Mei Qingdai. She couldn’t make out her eyes hidden beneath the shadow and glasses, but in that brief moment, she felt a distinct sense of discomfort, as if she had been completely seen through.

"Coincidence?"

The girl chuckled lightly, and Mei Qingdai detected a faint trace of mockery.

"In honor of this chance meeting, I’ll offer Madam a reading."

Mei Qingdai was taken aback, "A reading? What kind of reading?"

The girl studied her face carefully and said slowly, "Madam’s tear hall is flushed red—an omen of impending fortune."

Mei Qingdai found the girl’s words both cryptic and absurd—so young yet trying to act like a mystic?

Still, the girl mentioned good fortune, and who wouldn’t enjoy hearing pleasant words? "What fortune are you referring to?"

"The tear hall governs the child palace."

Mei Qingdai immediately grabbed the girl’s hand in excitement, "Are you saying I’m going to have a child soon?"

The icy touch of the girl’s hand made Mei Qingdai involuntarily shiver.

The girl withdrew her hand and replied indifferently, "However—"

Mei Qingdai instantly pressed her, "However, what?"

"Madam’s tear hall is deeply sunken, foretelling marital discord. Your husband will likely suffer a serious injury soon. With your silkworm line exposed and devoid of flesh, though you may have offspring, ancestral karma may weaken their luck, and you must guard against the possibility of loss."
