Upon hearing the word "torture," Qin Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled.
Being detained in the police station for the past two days has been a nightmare for her.
Jianbo's lawyer remained adamant, saying that she had violated Jianbo's rights and that she had no choice but to be taken to the police station for investigation.
She thought that with her father around, the police would know her identity and would treat her politely and wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
But those police officers actually locked her up in solitary confinement, saying it was an order from their superiors, and she didn't even have a chance to see her father.
My phone was confiscated for two whole days.
Aside from being questioned by the police, I was locked in a dilapidated house with nothing inside.
When it was mealtime, the food in the metal trays seemed to have no salt at all. After eating it twice, she felt like vomiting just looking at the food.
She could only sleep on a narrow, hard wooden bed. And the dreaded autumn mosquitoes bit her all over, making it impossible for her to sleep.
What devastated her even more was that on the first night she was locked up, rats appeared in the room!
She finally fell asleep at three in the morning, only to hear a rustling sound of something being chewed nearby.
She groggily opened her eyes and, in the dim light from outside the door, was startled to see a pair of rat eyes gnawing at the pillow next to her.
In that instant, she was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.
She screamed and vomited uncontrollably.
I felt like dying.
She had never suffered like this before.
She was finally able to leave yesterday afternoon, but when she saw her father come to pick her up, his face looked terrible.
I asked her secretary and learned that Jian Bo was preparing to file a lawsuit. Although she is now out of town, she faces an exorbitant compensation claim.
Just because of a photo she secretly took, Jianbo's lawyer is demanding 20 million yuan in compensation! Otherwise, he won't accept a settlement.
It was also said that Mr. Jianbo said that if she registered a Weibo account, revealed her identity on Weibo, publicly apologized to Jiang Nian, and admitted that she was jealous of Jiang Nian and that this was why she did such a thing, the compensation could be reduced.
She'd rather die than apologize to that bitch Jiang Nian!
But unfortunately, the truth couldn't be kept from Grandpa either.
Yesterday afternoon, she returned home from the police station. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that her grandfather had already prepared family discipline.
He looked at her with disappointment and frustration, then whipped her until she knelt on the ground, crying until her voice was hoarse.
Even her brother shook off her hand, saying that she had brought this on herself and that she should have been taught a lesson long ago.
They were clearly her grandfather and her brother, yet they all sided with Jiang Nian and criticized her.
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.
She absolutely cannot let anyone else know about these things.
Otherwise, how could she possibly have the face to stay at Canxing?
Meeting Xia Lan's gaze, Qin Xiaoxiao, with her pale face, still maintained her usual aloof demeanor.
"Torture me? With my dad around, which of those police officers would dare? I just haven't been sleeping well these past couple of days."
Xia Lan breathed a sigh of relief and didn't think much of it.
"I knew it. Even if Jiang Nian is a member of the Ji family, the Ji family wouldn't really disregard the Qin family's feelings and break ties with your family."
"While you were away these past two days, I have two pieces of good news to tell you."
Qin Xiaoxiao was listless and asked with difficulty, "What good news?"
Xia Lan immediately said, "Jiang Nian has already dropped out of Canxing School, so you'll never have to see her annoying face at school again."
"……What did you say?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's spirits lifted.
From the moment she learned that Jiang Nian was going to transfer to Canxing, she had been trying to get rid of Jiang Nian.
Now, is Jiang Nian finally going to disappear from her sight?
"Where will Jiang Nian go after leaving Canxing?"
“Who knows?” Xia Lan shrugged.
"The best high schools in the country, besides Jiangcheng Yingzhong, are Canxing, and Jiang Nian even dropped out of school."
"No matter how rich the Ji family is, they can only send Jiang Nian abroad or send her back to Yingzhong. Otherwise, Jiang Nian can only attend an ordinary high school."
"However, I heard that Jiang Nian dropped out of Yingzhong High School, which was quite a big deal. If she really left in a big way and then returned a month later, wouldn't she feel ashamed?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao's heart raced, and she was overjoyed beyond words.
Very good.
At least for now, she's the only one still at Canxing.
No matter what high school Jiang Nian goes to, it can't possibly be any better than Canxing!
Qin Xiaoxiao then asked, "What's the second piece of good news?"
Speaking of this, Xia Lan was practically beaming with excitement.
"The second piece of good news is that I passed the special admissions for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tsinghua University last week, and I ranked first among all applicants. I can report to Tsinghua University next Monday."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao looked surprised.
The Xia family made their fortune in the pharmaceutical industry, and now they are transforming into the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
With the title of a graduate of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tsinghua University, Xia Lan, the daughter of the Xia family, will be better able to inherit the family business in the future.
So when the news came out that Tsinghua University was establishing a new Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and planned to specially recruit a small group of students for early training, Xia Lan said she was going to take the exam.
But that's Tsinghua University.
Qin Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well how Xia Lan achieved her grades at Canxing.
If it weren't for those specially admitted students giving her the test papers, Xia Lan wouldn't have even gotten half the total score on her own.
With her level of ability, how could she possibly rank first among everyone in the special admissions exam?
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's expression, Xia Lan leaned closer mysteriously: "...My aunt works in the admissions office at Tsinghua University."
"As soon as the special admission exam for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was released, she got her hands on the exam questions and answers and sent them to me."
