Xia Jin looked at him and said distressedly, "You haven't been eating well these days. You've lost a lot of weight."

"If it really had no effect, how could you become like this? You still care about what they say, and you still care about your mother..."

Chen Xin half shook her head, half nodded, and said, "I'm not a saint, so how can I not blame her? I'm her own daughter, and she treated me like that."

"When we were in the car, I never thought she would make that decision. I always thought she would stand firmly by my side."

"But later I realized that I was just a clown. In her eyes, I wasn't as important as her good brother or her good mother."

"It was me who was hurt, and I was the one who was almost ruined, but she turned around and blamed me."

"I know you left early at the police station because you didn't want to embarrass me, but I really wanted you to stay there. At least I wouldn't be so sad."

Xia Jin leaned on his shoulder and comforted him:

"Isn't everything alright? I heard your father sent your grandmother and the others to the police station. Did your mother come to cause trouble again?"

"Also, I'll be with you from now on. Don't worry about what they say. They won't be your future husband, and you won't have much interaction with them in the future. Why bother about what they say?"

"I'll be with you then. If anyone dares to come up to you and talk nonsense, I'll help you beat him up."

Chen Xin smiled and said, "That's what you said. Actually, I figured it out later. I really shouldn't blame her like that. Because to him, we are both her relatives. It seems that she can do anything right whoever she chooses."

"She just chose the one that would have the least impact on her. Since I wasn't hurt, she could let me suffer."

"She also knows that only if I forgive my grandma and her family can my dad let them go. So she always comes to beg me. Every time I see her crying so sadly, I want to forgive her."

"But then I thought about how you rescued me, and the thought of forgiving her disappeared. I wonder what would have happened to me if you hadn't taken the trouble to overcome the difficulties and gone there."

"So I wasn't hurt by them because I was lucky. It's because I have a good friend like you, not because their family showed mercy and let me go."

"It's not that they didn't want to hurt me, but they didn't succeed. If I forgive them this time, what will I do if I encounter danger again next time?"

Xia Jin looked at him and said, "I know, I know everything."

Until before class, Xia Jin was comforting her. She didn't want the optimistic and cheerful person she used to be to become so silent and taciturn now.

But she also knew very well that he could not go back. After all, such a big change happened in the family overnight, and no one could go back to his previous heartless state.

All she could do now was to comfort her as much as possible and help her get out of that shadow as soon as possible.

She didn't tell him that she was kidnapped. After all, it happened so long ago, and letting others know would only make people more worried.

She didn't know whether other people in the school had told her, but since she didn't ask herself, she probably hadn't.

In that case, I won't tell her. After all, this matter has passed, and the past is the past. Telling her will only make her more worried.

Although it had been a long time since he had attended class, Xia Jin was able to quickly get into the state and listen to the teacher attentively.

After all, there are not many such opportunities left. The college entrance examination is coming soon, and every class she attends is one less class, so she has to seize the time to study.

When school was over at noon, she and Chen Xin walked towards the school gate together. When they arrived at the gate, they saw Chen's father waiting for her there.

Father Chen was also very surprised to see Xia Jin, as if he had not expected to see her here. He quickly ran over, first thanked her, and then said:

"Xiao Jin, you already know everything about our family. I'll trouble you to take good care of Chen Xin in school from now on."

"If time allowed, I would have arranged for him to take a leave of absence from school and let him stay home for a while until the storm died down. But now the college entrance examination is coming up, there's nothing I can do."

"We have no choice but to have him come to school. Although the children in school are relatively innocent, there will definitely be rumors. So, uncle, please take good care of Chen Xin."

Xia Jin smiled and said, "Uncle, we are friends, so of course I have to take care of her."

"Besides, I know everything that happened. Don't worry, if anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of me, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

After hearing what she said, Father Chen nodded repeatedly and said:

"Thank you, and for that incident before, you saved Xiaoxin, so we wanted to invite you to dinner."

"Uncle knows you have everything you need, but we still have to show our appreciation. After all, without you, our Xiaoxin's life would be ruined."

"It's also my fault for not judging people well. We've lived together for so many years, but I didn't realize that they were such a family. If it weren't for you, I would have been so stupid as to leave my daughter in the countryside."

She originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Xin looking at her expectantly, she nodded and said:

“Okay uncle, let’s eat together after the college entrance examination. Now time is so tight, it’s not good. Let’s eat when we have time.”

"Okay, okay, uncle will listen to you, then you must come."

"Got it, uncle, you should go home with Chen Xin and don't delay your meal."

"Then how are you going to get back? How about uncle take you back on the way?"

Ever since the incident with Chen Xin, Chen's father has become a bit timid. He always has to pick Chen Xin up after school.

Now seeing Xia Jin going back alone, I feel a little unsafe and want to send her back together.

"No need, uncle, I have someone to pick me up. You guys should go home quickly. I want to go back too."

After saying that, he ran towards where Gu Jingmo was and waved goodbye to them from a distance.

Looking at Gu Jingmo's tall and strong appearance, Chen's father felt relieved. He smiled at Gu Jingmo and then took his daughter away.

"Why has your classmate lost so much weight? He used to love to laugh, why is he like this now?"

Xia Jin said unhappily, "You've already guessed it, so why are you asking? Just like you guessed, his mom and dad are divorced."
