So the father and daughter had to drive back alone again. The moment they entered the house, the father suddenly pushed her to the ground, forbade her to eat, and locked her in a dark room.
Xiaoxi, trapped in the dark room, grew increasingly resentful. She couldn't believe that Xiaoqing had such a family background. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So she simply ran away from the dark room and returned to school.
Fortunately, Xiao Qing's mood had mostly recovered by this day, and with her brother's encouragement, she returned to school. However, seeing the classmates who still harbored hostility towards her, she felt very sad.
Just as he was about to get a cup of hot water during break, he was suddenly pulled into the toilet by a force as he walked through a passageway.
She was then pressed into the toilet by that force, and then she heard that familiar voice.
"Why are you so lucky? Everyone else treats you like a princess. Now I'm going to ruin you and see who will treat you like a princess."
Shin-chan uttered the most disgusting words in a vicious manner. Then, Haru-chan saw a gleaming dagger in front of her.
"Should I give you two cuts or four?" Xiaoxin said, then proceeded to trace lines on Xiaoqing's body with the gleaming knife, sometimes drawing a slash, sometimes a cross, having a great time.
After Xiaoqing saw the person in front of her clearly, she was no longer as flustered as before. It wasn't that she didn't believe Xiaoxin would really be disfigured, but rather that she found Xiaoxin utterly ridiculous.
No one can choose their birth, but if you attribute all your mistakes to your birth, then you are a failure.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Qing couldn't hide her emotions and showed all her thoughts on her face, or perhaps it was because of her carelessness that she angered Xiao Xin in front of her.
"Don't think I really wouldn't dare." After saying that, Xiaoxin was about to slash Xiaoqing's face with the knife in his hand.
"Don't move, police! Drop your weapons!" Just as Xiao Xin resignedly closed her eyes, a commotion suddenly erupted at the door. Then, more than a dozen uniformed police officers rushed in and instantly tackled Xiao Xin to the ground.
Following the police in was Huo Siyun. She saw Xiao Qing being pressed against the wall and immediately pulled her into her arms in a panic. After confirming that she was unharmed, she glared angrily at Xiao Xin.
How dare he hurt Shin-chan! He'll make him regret it.
This time, thanks to Huo Siyun, who was more cautious, he noticed that Xiao Qing hadn't returned from fetching water for so long and had a vague feeling that something was wrong. So he immediately sent all the people Li Chuan had sent around him into the mess.
Fortunately, he arrived in time and was careful not to hurt Xiao Qing, otherwise he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Schools are always a great place for gossip, and the news that Shin-chan wanted to disfigure Haru spread like wildfire throughout the school. Suddenly, everyone who had previously thought Shin-chan was a kind person changed their tune.
Those who used to glare at Xiao Qing now actively strike up conversations with her. But Xiao Qing can't forget the physical and emotional harm they caused her during that time.
Therefore, he completely ignored the friendly exchanges between those people.
But for so long, he had been longing to make a true friend. He watched as a steady stream of people came, some even trying to establish family ties with him.
He was truly losing interest and had no passion to continue the conversation, so she told Huo Siyun all her worries. Huo Siyun also knew that Xiao Qing lacked a true confidante and didn't consider him one.
In fact, Huo Siyun had been observing Xiao Qing's friends during this period of time, trying to see which friends were worth truly confiding in and which should be discarded.
Xiao Qing was protected too well by everyone. Anyone who took the initiative to talk to her and chatted with her for a few words was considered a friend by Xiao Qing. As a result, her friends were too mixed, and even if some people with bad intentions were mixed in, Xiao Qing would not be able to detect it.
This opportunity to get to know the people around her might not be a bad thing for Xiao Qing.
During this time, he happened to meet someone who could distinguish right from wrong. Although he didn't like to talk to Xiao Qing often before, he was the only one who showed kindness to Xiao Qing when all the other girls were blocking her.
He believed that this person was Xiao Qing, someone he should become a close friend with.
So he told Xiaoqing about it.
"When everyone in the class was spreading rumors about you, only our top student and class monitor never said a bad word about you. Sometimes he would even argue with them for your sake."
After listening to Huo Siyun's account of the top student and class monitor's achievements, Xiao Qing also fell into deep thought.
Unlike other girls, this top-performing class monitor didn't constantly flatter herself. She simply followed her own routine and did her own thing.
However, because there were so many people surrounding him before, he had no recollection of the class monitor at all. He only remembered her from a few class activities.
Xiao Qing considered it carefully and then readily accepted Huo Siyun's opinion.
He also thought the class monitor, who was a top student, was a very good person.
So on that very day, Xiao Qing, who was a woman of action, quickly made contact with the class monitor.
"Thank you for believing in me when they were all slandering me." Xiaoqing and the class monitor were sitting next to each other, so Xiaoqing easily struck up a conversation with the class monitor.
The class monitor, who was engaged in a sea of questions, suddenly saw a shadow appear in front of him. He looked up and saw Xiao Qing talking to it.
The class monitor could see the sincerity in Xiao Qing's eyes, so he smiled and nodded.
“This wasn’t your fault to begin with. I believe it’s the truth, not you.” The top student class monitor answered his inner thoughts somewhat mechanically, but these words were even more precious to Xiao Qing.
After learning about her family's social standing, her classmates all tried to curry favor with her, except for the class monitor, who could still joke with her. This made Xiao Qing even more determined to befriend this academically gifted class monitor.
Since he wanted to be friends with a top student, he had to become a top student himself first. So Xiaoqing obediently sat down, took out her notebook, and started doing her homework.
Xiaoqing's academic performance wasn't too bad, but it was only average. Furthermore, her family prioritized her mental and physical health over her studies.
But now that Xiao Qing is studying so diligently, Li Chuan and Xiao Fei are very happy.
Although they hadn't paid attention to Xiaoqing's grades before because they didn't want her to feel any pressure, they were all very happy to see her being so self-motivated and motivated.
