Chapter 226: Enlightenment
Zhang Jingxuan paused and spoke casually, "I heard Lingxue call her Xinyue, but I don't know her last name. She's quite strange. She doesn't live on campus, but rents an apartment in Lingxue's apartment. They are neighbors. Logically, her family should be well-off to be able to rent there, but I heard that the girl worked part-time to earn money for her studies.
Obviously, her living expenses are not enough to support her to live like that. I suspect that she lives there just to be close to Lingxue, and she has bad intentions. "
Although Xue's mother was angry, she still didn't believe that her daughter, whom she had carefully cultivated, was such a brainless idiot. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Jingxuan, how did you know that her friend was working part-time?"
Zhang Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and explained politely: "Auntie, Lingxue has been distancing herself from me intentionally or unintentionally during this period. I came to the apartment to look for her several times, but I didn't see her. I asked her neighbors about Lingxue's recent situation, but I only found out about it when they mentioned it.
It's also my fault. If I had known that her friend might have a problem, I should have investigated it in advance and reminded Lingxue. Now Lingxue is very dissatisfied with me. She gave me a cold face without saying a word and refused to listen to what I said. I had no choice but to ask my aunt for help. "
"Okay, I understand, Jingxuan. You are a few years older than Lingxue, and you are more stable and sensible than her. She has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and she does have a bad temper. I will call her and have a good talk with her later. You will have to work hard for another year. We have discussed with your parents and will let you get married in September next year. She will be obedient after you get married. Now I still need to trouble you to be more tolerant of her. Your uncle and I are busy during this period, so I won't go over."
Zhang Jingxuan was very dissatisfied with Xue's mother's attitude of making a great difference with a small effort, but he not only did not show it, but he cooperated very well and agreed and made promises.
Xue's mother was satisfied and hung up the phone.
When Zhang Jingxuan heard the beep coming from the microphone, his face darkened, and there was a strong sense of hostility in his gloomy eyes. He was obviously so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he still forced himself to hold back and just crushed the pen in his hand.
At night, when Xue Lingxue was about to go to bed, she received a call from her mother.
Before she could even open her mouth, Xue's mother angrily scolded her, "Xue Lingxue, don't you want to get along with me anymore? I told you to get along well with Jingxuan. You are the ones who are going to spend your lives together. Why are you hurting your relationship because of an insignificant person? Is your brain full of shit? You don't even understand such a simple truth."
Xue Lingxue's mouth corners gradually drooped, she took a deep breath, and clenched her fists tightly, "Mom, is it Zhang who said bad things about me in front of you again?"
"What do you mean by the surname Zhang? His name is Zhang Jingxuan! I'm telling you, you must return to China right after graduation next year, and the wedding will be in September. If you dare to cause trouble, I'll skin you alive! You're getting more and more outrageous! I'm telling you, Jingxuan doesn't like your friend, so don't hang out with that girl anymore in the future, do you hear me?"
With a "click", Xue Lingxue hung up the phone.
After a while, the phone rang again. She was so annoyed that she simply unplugged the phone line and had some peace and quiet.
After venting her anger, Xue Lingxue felt sad and lay on the sofa crying.
How to relieve worries? Only red wine.
Then Chen Xinyue discovered that Xue Lingxue, who had been led up by her with great difficulty, had fallen into depravity again. She had been drinking heavily for several days in a row and looked decadent and lifeless.
Under her questioning, Xue Lingxue finally told her about the forced marriage at home.
"Zhang Jingxuan is a scumbag. All he does is complain and complain. I really don't know what my parents are thinking. I'm their only daughter, but for the sake of the family business, they want me to marry such a bastard. Ahhhh"
The angry Xue Lingxue kicked over the wine bottle on the ground and became extremely crazy.
Chen Xinyue was terrified and subconsciously picked up the phone beside her to contact Chen Ruiyu.
At this moment, Chen Ruiyu was still sleeping, and it was Qu Zhiyang who answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
Chen Xinyue's panicked voice came over, "I'm looking for Chen Ruiyu, I'm Chen Xinyue."
Qu Zhiyang instantly sobered up when he heard the name, and his voice rose several degrees, "Sister Xinyue, your brother is still sleeping, I'll go call him."
The crazy Chen Xinyue finally calmed down when he heard the three words "Chen Ruiyu".
Chen Xinyue covered her pounding heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yaya, what happened? Why are you calling me at this time?" Chen Ruiyu's steady voice came over.
Xue Lingxue looked a little dazed.
Chen Xinyue looked at her and said word by word: "Brother, Lingxue had something happen just now. She is in great pain now. I don't know how to comfort her. I am afraid that something will happen to her, so I called you. How should I comfort her?"
"Something happened to Lingxue?" Qu Zhiyang, who was next to Chen Ruiyu, was obviously very surprised.
Chen Xinyue gritted her teeth and explained: "Lingxue's mother wants her to marry someone she doesn't like. I have met that person several times and I don't have a good feeling about him. Every time he comes, he will force Lingxue to lose control of her emotions, and then he will leave as if nothing happened. He will come again next time and continue to anger Lingxue.
I couldn't understand the other party's intentions. That person seemed to be deeply trusted by Lingxue's parents. No matter what Lingxue said, they wouldn't listen and instead blamed Lingxue for being ignorant.
She totally exploded tonight, what should I do? "
Chen Ruiyu and Qu Zhiyang looked at each other, their expressions were surprisingly solemn.
Chen Ruiyu pondered and said, "Well, give the phone to Lingxue and we'll tell her that the school will have a short holiday in a while, and we'll go over there then."
Chen Xinyue was delighted, but she said, "Will this be inconvenient?"
"No, we still have quite a bit of free time." Qu Zhiyang's voice was loud and urgent.
Chen Xinyue quickly handed the microphone to Xue Lingxue.
The sound of sobbing passed.
Qu Zhiyang's voice also became serious. "Lingxue, you have always been a smart person. No matter how unfavorable the current situation is for you, you should not bow your head and admit defeat. You should know that your starting point is the end point that many people will never reach in their entire lives.
The Lingxue I know is strong and rational, cheer up. "
Chen Ruiyu continued gently, "I still remember the four of us eating hamburgers and drinking Coke in the park. I believe you have always been that optimistic and cheerful girl who worked hard to save money for a meal of hamburgers and Coke, as bright and energetic as the sun."
Xue Lingxue's tears fell silently, wetting the microphone.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xinyue quickly took the microphone, said a few more words, made an appointment with them, and then hung up.
The room fell into silence for a long time.
The two girls spent the night hugging each other.
After two days of adjustment, Xue Lingxue returned to normal. Perhaps because Chen Ruiyu and others were about to come to the UK, she had expectations in her heart, and her mental state recovered visibly.
When Zhang Jingxuan appeared in the apartment again, he looked a little unhappy when he saw Xue Lingxue, who was radiant and studying hard.
