Unlike the warm and loving relationship between Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua's family, Xu Xiaoxiao's situation in the drug rehabilitation center was not so good.
Xu Xiaoxiao's experience in the drug rehabilitation center was simply unbearable for a human being; she had never faced such darkness before.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, has never endured such humiliation.
From the moment she stepped into the rehab center, she was unaware of the darkness she was about to face. She still longed to get out.
"Hey, let me out! Do you know who I am?" Even as people surrounded her, she didn't care. She firmly believed that no one would dare to lay a hand on her!
Her shouts went unanswered, and Xu Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable anger rising within her. Just as she was about to explode, she heard a cold snort.
"Who do you think you are? Once you're in here, everyone's the same. By the way, your name is Xu Xiaoxiao, right?" The leader was a burly man with a fat belly, his expression contemptuous, showing absolutely no tenderness or pity for a woman.
Xu Xiaoxiao was a little scared, but she had always been a spoiled person, so she certainly wouldn't show any fear at this moment. Suppressing her timidity, she tried her best to raise her head and said, "Since you know who I am, then quickly send someone to help me release me!"
Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's arrogant words, the burly man at the head of the group became even angrier. So he walked up to Xu Xiaoxiao.
He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and said contemptuously, "Take a good look around you, will you? You're not the rich young lady you used to be. You're just like everyone else here now. Please tone down your spoiled princess attitude."
Hearing the burly man's words, Xu Xiaoxiao looked around at the people who looked neither human nor ghost, and still mustered up her courage to say, "I don't care, just let me out."
The burly man, unable to tolerate Xu Xiaoxiao's rudeness any longer, raised his hand and slapped her. He then told his men, "Beat her up! If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll really forget who she is."
After being slapped by the burly man, Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned and before she could react, the burly man's men began to punch and kick her.
At first, she stubbornly told those people, "How could you treat me like this? Stop it! If I get out of here, I will definitely not let you get away with this."
Hearing that Xu Xiaoxiao dared to say such a thing, the burly man kicked her and said, "What did you say? You won't let me go after you get out? You might not even be able to get out!" After saying that, he snorted coldly and ordered his men to continue hitting her.
Xu Xiaoxiao finally lost her temper and quickly begged for mercy, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things. Please stop hitting me."
Hearing that Xu Xiaoxiao had finally begged for mercy, the burly man, having vented his anger, ordered his men to stop. Then the group left.
After watching the group finally leave, Xu Xiaoxiao struggled to her feet, spat at them, and thought to herself, "You better not give me a chance to get out, or I won't let you off the hook."
After making up her mind, Xu Xiaoxiao dragged her battered body and moved with difficulty to the wall, then sat down against it.
As Xu Xiaoxiao sat down, she began to recall the time when her brother Xu Mo was by her side. How happy she was back then, unlike now, when she was bullied by everyone.
She felt saddened by the thought that her brother, Xu Mo, was still missing. She thought to herself, "Brother, where are you? Please appear and save me!" Tears streamed down her face as she thought this.
Time passed slowly as Xu Xiaoxiao reminisced, and soon it was lunchtime. Xu Xiaoxiao dragged herself to her seat.
But she simply couldn't bring herself to eat the food in front of her. There were only a few green vegetables and not a single piece of meat.
She finally forced herself to take a bite, but as soon as she put the food in her mouth, she spat it out. She discovered the food was spoiled and inedible.
After spitting out the food, she put down her chopsticks and complained, "This food is spoiled, how can I eat it! Even a dog might not eat this!"
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's complaint, the person in charge of distributing meals at the drug rehabilitation center said irritably, "This is all we have here. Take it or leave it. If you don't eat it, someone else will. I advise you to eat it quickly! Otherwise, even if we find it later, there won't be any left."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard what the person said, she was about to get angry and yell back, but the pain in her body reminded her that she didn't have a brother to tolerate her like she did at home, so she could only endure it.
Even though she held back her anger and curses, she really didn't want to eat this rotten food! But just as she was hesitating about whether to muster up the courage to eat it, a few people unknowingly gathered around her.
By the time she realized what was happening, the food in front of her had already been snatched away by others. Xu Xiaoxiao looked at those people wolfing down her food and wanted to take it back, but then she remembered that she was covered in injuries and could only give up.
When Xu Xiaoxiao didn't even have any spoiled food to eat, Ye Qingqing and Hu Haoran had a small argument.
But probably no one would have guessed that the reason for their argument was a novel that had just been released.
The process went like this: Ye Qingqing was lying on Hu Haoran's lap reading a novel. There was a plot in the novel where the male protagonist misunderstood the female protagonist, which led to their breakup.
Ye Qingqing felt that the male lead was in the wrong. She thought he should have tried to understand the situation better before misunderstanding the female lead. She then shared her thoughts with Hu Haoran.
She had hoped to get Hu Haoran to agree with her point of view, but to her surprise, Hu Haoran completely disagreed with her. So the two got into an argument.
Finally, faced with Ye Qingqing's relentless pursuit, Hu Haoran had no choice but to back down and said to her, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? Let's not argue anymore. Let's go eat! It's my treat, as an apology, okay?"
Hearing Hu Haoran say that, Ye Qingqing still didn't want to let him off so easily, so she said, "No, I can't let you off so easily. I want you to buy me flowers to apologize before I'll accept it."
Hearing Ye Qingqing's request, Hu Haoran had no choice but to leave. He walked to the flower shop, wanting to buy roses. But it seemed as if fate was conspiring against him; the roses were sold out, and only chrysanthemums were available.
Having no other choice, he bought a bouquet of chrysanthemums. When he got home, he knocked on the door, and Ye Qingqing opened it for him. But before he could even step inside, Ye Qingqing closed the door.
Hu Haoran asked with doubt, "I've already bought the flowers. Although they're not roses, the florist only had chrysanthemums, so please make do! I really know I was wrong."
Hearing Hu Haoran's words, Ye Qingqing was furious. She had never seen anyone come to apologize with a bouquet of chrysanthemums before.
