Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 748: Do You Seriously Joke Like This?

Luo Qiao didn’t stop tidying up her textbooks as she spoke, "The school has an English corner; you could spend more time there. Be bold and try to converse with others. Over time, your spoken English will certainly improve."

Shen Juan leaned on the table, "I’m really envious of you, your English is so good, even better than our professors."

Luo Qiao looked at Shen Juan, who got headaches just from English, with some amusement, "Are you defeated just like that?"

Shen Juan said languidly, "If only being defeated meant not having to learn it."

Luo Qiao laughed, "Your pronunciation is a problem. Listen to me, go to the English corner every morning for half an hour. Don’t be afraid of being laughed at. You’ll see a difference in a month."

Shen Juan covered her face, "It’s not that I haven’t been there, but it’s really embarrassing."

Luo Qiao explained, "There are two kinds of people who go to the English corner: those who want to improve themselves and those who want to help others. It’s up to you."

After school at noon, Luo Qiao and Shen Juan walked towards the dormitory together. Because of Luo Qiao’s performance at the freshman welcome party, many students were paying attention to her. Some boys even came over to show their interest.

Luo Qiao felt somewhat helpless and thought she might need to have Lu Yichen come over and assert his rights, which would save her a lot of trouble. Passing by a public phone booth, she decided to give Lu Yichen a call.

The call was answered by a female comrade, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for Comrade Lu Yichen."

"Brother Yichen is out. If there’s anything, you can tell me, and I’ll pass the message."

"May I ask who this is?"

"I’m Brother Yichen’s girlfriend."

"Oh, is that so?"

"May I know your honorable name?"

"What does my name have to do with you?"

"Since you’re Comrade Lu Yichen’s girlfriend, I’m naturally curious about who you are."

Guan Yuyan was about to say something when Lu Yichen’s unfriendly voice came through, "What are you doing?"

Guan Yuyan jumped in fright, "The phone kept ringing, so I helped you answer it."

Lu Yichen came forward and snatched the phone, "Please go out."

His voice was very inhospitable. Just then, Guan Yushan walked in and saw his daughter’s embarrassed face; he realized she must’ve done something to annoy Lu Yichen.

Guan Yushan pulled his daughter aside, "What did you do?"

Guan Yuyan whispered defensively, "I didn’t do anything, just answered a call for him."

Guan Yushan was really frustrated with his daughter. This was an office, and she was answering other people’s calls—it was simply ignorant.

Yet, when Lu Yichen heard the words from the other end of the phone, his eyes shot sharply towards Guan Yuyan. Guan Yushan had a bad feeling that the matter he came for today might not be settled.

Lu Yichen didn’t hang up the phone and asked coldly, "Did you just tell my fiancée that you’re my girlfriend?"

As soon as these words were uttered, Guan Yushan jumped in alarm and quickly looked at his daughter. What nonsense had this foolish girl been spouting?

Guan Yuyan said softly, "It was just a joke."

Lu Yichen retorted, "A joke? Is that how you make a joke?"

Guan Yushan hadn’t expected Lu Yichen to get angry over this matter, but he knew that the favor he had come to ask for today was definitely not going to happen.

He glared fiercely at his good-for-nothing daughter.

Guan Yushan and Lu Yichen had met in the military. In the year Lu Yichen enlisted, they had gone on a mission together and had formed a bond by risking their lives. Not long after, Guan Yushan was discharged and went back to his hometown.

This time, Guan Yushan had come to Beijing with his wife for medical treatment. Due to his wife’s illness, they had already spent a lot of money, but she hadn’t been cured. They’d been in Beijing for half a month but still hadn’t managed to arrange surgery.

A few days ago, by chance, Guan Yushan bumped into a former comrade on the street, and from the conversation, he learned that Lu Yichen was now working at the Capital Public Security Bureau. Guan Yushan was really out of options, so he thought of looking for Lu Yichen since he was a local and might have connections to get an earlier surgery scheduled.

Additionally, they were unable to stay at the hospital due to a lack of beds, and he wanted his daughter to temporarily stay with Lu Yichen for a few days, as it was inconvenient for her to stay in the hospital corridor with them.

The little money he had on hand might not even be enough for medical bills, and he truly couldn’t bear to spend more on renting a room at a guesthouse.
