Several people felt suffocated and finally understood why Xue Lingxue collapsed.
Qu Zhiyang suppressed his anger and said seriously: "Auntie, I have been here for a month. Lingxue is very good. She has been studying hard this month. She takes me to the school library every day and stays there for most of the day. She is motivated and self-disciplined, not rebellious at all. I still have a lot to learn from her!
It's because she's always buried in her books, carrying them everywhere. I'm so bored that I called you to complain! I didn't expect you to complain to me first, haha
As for her fiancé, it must be Mr. Zhang, right? I met him once in the first month after I came here. I invited him to study with us, but he refused. He said that it was useless for Lingxue to study, and he didn't support Lingxue's hard work. We couldn't play together.
Oh, by the way, Lingxue has been working too hard this month and has lost weight. Mr. Zhang hasn’t seen Lingxue for a long time and he never showed any concern for her. When they met, he always complained about Lingxue. If I hadn’t come here and met such a person, I wouldn’t have known that he was Lingxue’s fiancé.”
What Qu Zhiyang said was obviously completely different from what Xue's mother knew. For a moment, Xue's mother didn't know how to respond, so she had to say, "Give the phone to Lingxue, I'll talk to her."
"Oh." Qu Zhiyang was about to hand over the microphone.
Xue Lingxue said loudly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I still have to read books and prepare for the exams. I don't want my mood to be affected by others. In addition, I will explain while I can still speak calmly. I came to the UK to study, not to stay here for some rubbish. I have my own things to do. Zhang can't find me and just makes up stories about me. I don't know what you are thinking. You would rather believe that kind of rubbish than your own daughter.
You said I hung up on you, isn't that normal? Why should I be wrongly accused for no reason? It's really ridiculous! If it's wrong for me to study hard, why did you ask me to study abroad? "
Xue's mother was speechless and angry, but because Qu Zhiyang was present and the Xue Lingxue she heard from Zhang Jingxuan and Qu Zhiyang was completely different, and she was also worried that he really misunderstood her daughter, she could only grit her teeth and swallow it. She said a few words of concern and hung up impatiently.
The apartment fell into a brief silence. Even Qu Zhiyang, who was the best at creating an atmosphere, lost the desire to act funny. He just sighed heavily and patted Xue Lingxue on the shoulder. "Call us if you feel bad in the future. Although we can't change your situation, we can help you cope with it."
Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue both nodded heavily.
"Thank you!" Xue Lingxue was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
They didn't run around for the next few days. They either stayed in the apartment to study or went to the library.
Zhang Jingxuan came more frequently because of Qu Zhiyang, but every time he came, he saw the four of them studying hard. From their discussions and arguments, he knew that the four of them were really studying and not just putting on a show for him.
This made Zhang Jingxuan, who wanted to make friends with Qu Zhiyang, very unhappy. Seeing that Xue Lingxue's mental state had visibly improved, Zhang Jingxuan became even more unhappy. He turned around and called Xue's mother to complain.
"Auntie, did you know that Lingxue's friend is coming to England?"
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to say that it's a rare visit for them, so I wanted to take them for a walk and entertain them well. But Lingxue didn't have that idea and she didn't leave. I didn't have a chance to talk to her. How about you talk to Lingxue?"
Xue's mother frowned and asked, "What are they doing?"
Zhang Jingxuan smiled vaguely and said, "They didn't do anything. I saw them just reading books. They were quite bored."
For the first time, Xue's mother interrupted him in dissatisfaction, "Jingxuan, Lingxue originally went to study in the UK. They are all students. What else can they do if they don't study? It's rare for them to make progress. You should support them. Don't be surprised if you can't find Lingxue in the future. Just call her at night to ask. She is either at school or at home. She won't run around."
Zhang Jingxuan was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted. His face turned red with embarrassment and shame, and he could only grit his teeth and agree.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately smashed the things on the table. Because he was too angry, his expression looked distorted and gloomy.
However, no matter how dissatisfied Zhang Jingxuan was, he really had no way to deal with Xue Lingxue if Xue's mother refused to cooperate.
In a blink of an eye, summer vacation is coming to an end.
Under the reluctant gaze of Chen Xinyue and Xue Lingxue, Chen Ruiyu and Qu Zhiyang boarded the plane to the United States.
It was thanks to these victories over Zhang Jingxuan that Chen Xinyue had found her own rhythm.
I really devoted myself to my studies and called the United States once a week.
Sometimes it was Qu Zhiyang who answered the call, and sometimes it was Chen Ruiyu. No matter which one of them, he would chat with Xue Lingxue for about twenty minutes.
These twenty minutes were enough to sustain her for another week.
It also gave her enough courage to face Zhang Jingxuan's suppression and verbal attacks.
After so many times, Zhang Jingxuan realized that Xue Lingxue had changed. The previous verbal provocations no longer had any effect on her. Gradually, his attitude became more and more indifferent. He used to come once every ten days, but now sometimes he might not come even once a month.
His dislike for Xue Lingxue was very obvious.
When Xue's mother called to ask him, he said he was busy with work. Xue Lingxue was concentrating on studying and it was not appropriate to disturb him too much, so he repeated what Xue's mother had said before.
Xue's mother was very unhappy because she hit a snag with him.
After hanging up the phone, I went to Zhou's father to complain, "I don't know what's going on with Jingxuan and Lingxue. When I called Jingxuan before, he was quite respectful to me. The last two times, his attitude has obviously become much colder. When I asked him about Lingxue's situation, he said he didn't know, or he was busy with work and didn't have time to go over. These are all excuses."
How come you weren’t busy at work in all these years?
A trace of deep thought flashed across Xue's serious face, "You didn't take the initiative to contact Lingxue?"
Mother Xue felt a little guilty. "I did want to contact her, but every time I called her she was very perfunctory, saying that she was too tired and wanted to sleep or that she was not at home. Caifeng knows more about her situation than I do!"
Father Xue was obviously a little surprised. "How did the Qu family know about our daughter's situation? Could it be that Zhiyang's child is also studying in the UK?"
Xue's mother shook her head, "He is in the United States. Caifeng means that the two children get along well and call each other every week. Sometimes Lingxue will look for Zhiyang when she encounters academic problems. Caifeng often contacts Zhiyang and talks about our daughter.
Caifeng brought it up at the banquet a few days ago, but I couldn't answer. Your daughter is obviously still angry with us. She would rather tell her friends than her family if there is anything wrong."
"No, no, no." Father Xue interrupted Mother Xue's complaints, "Don't you find it strange?"
"What?" Xue's mother still hadn't reacted. (End of this chapter)
