Ying Xixi curled her lips and was too lazy to reply.
Let’s talk after you wake up?
What to talk about?
We didn’t talk about what we should talk about, and now there is nothing we want to talk about.
The class reunion where she instantly became a victim ended a few days ago, and Ying Xixi thought that the matter had ended quietly.
But it’s not over yet.
The police came to her home in person to present her with a banner and an 8,000 yuan bonus.
Inevitably, Lin Hongfen also found out about this.
Lin Hongfen was angry and anxious when she found out that her granddaughter was almost sold by human traffickers.
"Damn human traffickers! She's a teacher! How could she do such a thing!
Xixi, why didn’t you tell grandma about such a serious incident?
How did you escape that night? You didn't go shopping with Xiao Mu, so did Xiao Mu know about it? Did he save you too?
“Grandma, I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would be as anxious as you are now.
Don't worry, I'll tell you what happened that night slowly."
Ying Xixi comforted her grandmother and told her what happened that night in detail.
"That's what happened, nothing's wrong, grandma, and no one was hurt.
As for why Wang Dehua became a human trafficker, I heard some information from the police.
I heard that her husband was in debt from gambling more than ten years ago and even borrowed money from loan sharks.
With her job as a teacher, she couldn't pay back so much money, so her husband asked her to find a way to earn money to pay off his debts, otherwise he would divorce her.
Wang Dehua was a love-brained person. When she heard her husband say he wanted a divorce, she started to think of all kinds of ways to make money to pay off his debts.
In addition to her main job, she also worked many part-time jobs, but she couldn't pay back much of the money.
Until one day she took her son out and encountered human traffickers.
She took the initiative to cooperate with human traffickers and could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan by selling a child.
It was almost from that time that she began to care about the students in the class who came from poor families and had low self-esteem and were not sociable.
The police said that she used the same method on us. After the students graduated, she would gather up the poor kids from the class and sell them off.
Because we were well taken care of by her as the head teacher in the class, we basically didn't doubt her.
After they sold us out, they deliberately fabricated evidence that we had successfully left the hotel where the party was held.
In addition, our family is special. Even if we were missing, our family would not have the extra money or energy to look for us.
This is also why Wang Dehua has not been discovered as a human trafficker for so many years."
Lin Hongfen couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she heard Ying Xixi's words.
"That's so bad! She's been doing this for over ten years. I don't know how many students she's sold out!"
"A lot. The police are now looking for the victims who were sold. If the police make this public, it will cause a stir in society.
After all, Wang Dehua is a teacher, but he did such a thing.
Because of her case, people will also have doubts and distrust towards the profession of teachers."
Ying Xixi felt a little emotional.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have thought of it.
Lin Hongfen sighed, "Xixi, you have done a great thing, no wonder the police came to give you a banner and a bonus.
But let's keep a low profile on this matter.
Don’t let more people know that the human trafficker was caught because of you. We don’t know how many dangers are hidden in today’s society.
Let's keep a low profile so we don't become targets, okay?"
Ying Xixi nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma. The police are aware of this matter and will not disclose my identity to the public."
"By the way, Xiao Mu also helped you. He was worried about you and rushed back from Shanghai to save you.
Did you thank him?"
Lin Hongfen thought of Mu Yan.
"Thank you. Mu Yan rushed back to Shanghai the next day. Okay, grandma, that's it. Do you have anything else you want to ask?
If not, I’ll go cook.”
Ying Xixi looked at the time and it was time to make dinner.
Lin Hongfen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
The days that followed finally returned to peace.
In addition to drawing designs, Ying Xixi cooks and takes her grandmother for walks every day.
Occasionally He Yi would come over and we would have a meal together.
As for Mu Yan, he is still studying in Shanghai.
Although he is very busy, he always squeezes out time every day to maintain his "friendship" with Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi never mentioned what she said in the car that night, and neither did Mu Yan.
But the two of them would occasionally test each other to see if the other had feelings for them.
Ying Xixi found the ambiguous period of flirting without breaking the ice quite exciting.
Soon a year passed and it was January.
This year the Chinese New Year is in mid-February, so it’s still early.
Ying Xixi has no other relative except her grandmother.
This year, as usual, the grandparents and grandchildren celebrated the New Year together.
He Yi warmly invited his grandmother and Ying Xixi to go back to their hometown with them to celebrate the New Year together.
It's more lively when there are more people.
But Lin Hongfen refused with a smile. The reason for her refusal was, of course, that she didn't want to trouble them.
Plus, she is old, and I don’t know if her body can withstand the fatigue of traveling.
The safest way is to stay here for the New Year.
He Yi invited him twice but was politely declined, so he never mentioned the matter again.
However, she suggested that during the Lantern Festival, their two families could celebrate together.
Lin Hongfen agreed.
After He Yi left, Lin Hongfen took Ying Xixi's hand and taught her earnestly.
"Xixi, do you know why grandma rejected your Aunt He?"
Ying Xixi nodded. "Firstly, it would be too much trouble for them if we went with them. Secondly, our relationship with the Mu family isn't close enough to allow us to go to their hometown for the New Year with them."
"This is not the most important reason. The most important reason is your relationship with Xiao Mu.
If we go back to our hometown with them, people will inevitably speculate about your relationship with Xiao Mu.
If you and Xiao Mu really get together in the future, those gossipy relatives will say that you are rushing to his hometown to celebrate the New Year before you are together with Xiao Mu, which is lowering your own status!
Grandma doesn't want you to be gossiped about like this, so the best way is to prevent this from happening."
Lin Hongfen explained earnestly.
Ying Xixi understood and felt warm in her heart.
"Grandma, you've thought this through so thoroughly. I'll remember it."
Lin Hongfen patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and said, "Mu Yan should be back before the New Year. You should have a good chat then."
Mu Yan came back in mid-January.
He told Ying Xixi before getting on the plane, and even asked Ying Xixi in a roundabout way if she was willing to pick him up at the airport.
