—Today, in front of my mother, she spread rumors about me and a girl from another class. I just bought her some gifts to apologize. Isn't that the most basic courtesy?

Yes, yes, that's incredibly polite. Taking away Qiao Zhen's Chu Chu while she was away, and then letting someone like An Erle, who's two-faced, hurt Chu Chu's soft fur—it's absolutely outrageous!

So a bunch of people below praised Chu Zhao for being a gentleman, and even spoke rudely, hurling all sorts of insults and even genital-related abuse at Qiao Zhen.

Qiao Zhen was furious on the spot, but she was a rational woman with maximum self-control, so she made a phone call directly to the original owner's uncle.

"Hey, Uncle."

"Hey Zhenzhen, what brings you to call your uncle?"

"Oh, I want to go to the army for training. Could you put me in my cousin's recruit team? It'll be for two months during the summer vacation."

"You must be exhausted. Did someone bully you?"

"No, I just wanted to practice my skills so that military training at the beginning of the semester wouldn't be so tiring."

"You need to think this through. The recruit training camp is very tough. When you get there, your cousin won't go easy on you."

Qiao Zhen distorted the truth, saying, "How could my cousin, a rough old man, have soft hands?"

"Well... how about this, come visit your uncle after you finish your exams, we can talk about it then."

Qiao Zhen happily agreed, "Okay." Then she hung up the phone without a care in the world.

Then one night, she received phone calls from her maternal family, from her great-grandmother to her three-year-old nephew, interrogating her about whether Qiao Zhen had been bullied.

In the end, even the adoptive father was alerted.
