Ever since her last confession, Zhong Xinyi has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Gu Shaokai.
Hu Liyang also seemed to like Gu Shaokai, and she gossiped about him every day in the dormitory.
But after learning that Gu Shaokai liked her, he would make things difficult for her every time they met.
"Some people look like vixens, yet they manage to seduce others."
Back when she was in the performing arts troupe, Zhong Xinyi had already attracted a lot of attention from the men around her, but because of her cold demeanor, none of them dared to get close to her.
I never expected that even after arriving at the First Military Region of Huaicheng, she would still be so alluring.
It is said that Gu Shaokai is the only son of Chief Gu, and comes from a prominent family with considerable influence in both the business and military circles.
Zhong Xinyi paused in drying her hair and looked up at Hu Liyang.
He said calmly, "What do you mean?"
In the performing arts troupe, only Chae Rim would mutter to herself; the others, afraid of causing trouble, would just stare blankly.
Hu Liyang has no grudge against her, so why did she say something?
"You must know that Gu Shaokai is Chief Gu's only son, which is why you went to seduce him."
Hu Liyang's anger flared up. "Zhong Xinyi, I never imagined that your usual innocence was all an act."
She saw the two embracing yesterday and also heard the man's heartfelt confession to Zhong Xinyi.
What's even more infuriating is that Zhong Xinyi actually refused!
It must be a ploy to lure him in; it's incredibly cunning.
While manicuring her nails, Cai Lin fanned the flames, "Li Yang, I told you long ago that Zhong Xinyi is a vixen, now you believe me, right?"
She gently blew away the nail clippings, with a slightly obsequious air.
The others stared at them wide-eyed.
Zhong Xinyi's eyes turned cold. She threw away the towel, grabbed a stool, and plopped down on it.
He cut to the chase: "Tell me, how am I a vixen?"
She doesn't cause trouble, but since trouble has come knocking on her door, there's no need for her to act submissive.
The people present exchanged glances, their hearts trembling slightly. They had witnessed Zhong Xinyi's ruthlessness firsthand; when she got ruthless, she was like a man.
Hu Liyang tried to remain calm, saying, "What do you want to do? This is the army. If you dare to hit us, you will definitely be punished."
Zhong Xinyi isn't stupid; this is a critical moment, and she won't make a move.
He gave Cai Lin and Hu Liyang a deep look and said, "Listen to me carefully. First of all, if I want to beat you, I will do it fair and square, without resorting to back channels."
“Secondly, it’s his business whether Gu Shaokai likes me or not.” He stared intently into Hu Liyang’s eyes. “If you like him, you can go after him. I will absolutely support you.”
She slowly stood up. "Thirdly, I can consider 'vixen' a positive term, since I'm naturally beautiful."
After saying that, he left directly, leaving the others present indignant.
Zhong Xinyi admitted that she was indeed beautiful. If she hadn't been strong-willed, she would have been lured away by some thugs long ago.
"ah…"
Chae Rim flew into a rage and stomped her feet violently.
"What's so great about her? She's dirt poor and dressed in rags."
Hu Liyang gritted her teeth, "Isn't he just a child without parents?"
The other girls trembled with fear. They all knew that Zhong Xinyi had every right to be arrogant. They were all exposed to the sun every day, but she never got tanned and her skin seemed even whiter.
Of course, they didn't dare say these things aloud, for fear of incurring Chae Rim's retaliation.
Zhong Xinyi, who slammed the door as she left, was still unable to calm down. In fact, she hated the word "vixen" because her family had fallen apart because of a vixen.
My thoughts immediately drifted back to the past.
When she was little, her family was poor, but her parents loved her very much. Whenever there was a little something good to eat, her parents would save it for her. At that moment, she felt like the little princess of the family, and all she had to do was be happy every day and not worry about anything.
My mother was just an ordinary housewife, but she was extremely beautiful; she inherited her mother's beauty.
But Dad was unwilling to accept poverty, so he kept tinkering outside, and unexpectedly, he actually made a name for himself.
After his family earned their first sum of money, Zhong Liang seized the opportunity and, with his intelligence, embarked on the road to wealth.
Gradually, the family became wealthy.
She not only has princess dresses, but she can also go to school and become a real little princess.
Later, they moved to a courtyard that was much better than their previous dilapidated house.
Dad is busy with business outside, and Mom takes care of her at home.
As the days went by, Zhong Xinyi noticed that her father was coming home less and less often. Every time her mother asked, he would say he was busy with work and was very impatient with her.
When they were poor, her father would play with her every day. But now that they have money, it's hard for her to even see him.
The atmosphere at home grew increasingly tense. Her parents argued every day, and she vaguely heard the words "vixen." Whenever they argued, her father would slam the door and leave, completely ignoring her eavesdropping outside.
The mother gradually broke down emotionally, and she cried every day when no one could see her.
She was not a child anymore at that time, and she vaguely understood that her father seemed to be having an affair.
She was really panicked and didn't want to lose her father, so she talked to him, begging him to come home more often to spend time with her mother and not abandon the family.
Zhong Xinyi will always remember him saying in a deep voice that it was impossible for him and her mother to be together again.
Even after everything was laid out in the open, Mom still refused to get a divorce.
Dad simply started living outside and rarely came home, pushing Mom to the brink of emotional collapse.
Finally, everything was resolved on that day.
The woman came knocking on the door, and what's even more ridiculous is that she proudly declared war on my mother with her highly pregnant belly, demanding that she step down.
Zhong Xinyi came home early from school and saw her mother's frail body being forced to retreat. Resentment welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but push the vixen. She didn't seem to use much force, but the vixen fell down.
Unfortunately, her father saw it. He hurriedly hugged the vixen, as if that woman was the one he loved most.
Zhong Xinyi then realized that she had been tricked.
Under the cover of the vixen, the father, in a fit of anger, slapped her across the face, almost making her ears ring, and said fiercely, "If anything happens to your aunt, I won't let you off the hook."
After saying that, he picked up the fox spirit and left, running away as fast as he could.
Her mother anxiously cupped her face in her hands, "Xinyi, are you alright?"
Zhong Xinyi's face was burning hot, and she seemed to have some hearing loss. She then fainted.
When I woke up, I vaguely heard my parents arguing again, as if that vixen had given birth to a son for my father.
Now that Zhong Liang has a son, he feels more confident and even uses her to coerce his mother into divorcing him.
The mother remained silent for a long time. After seeing that her daughter had woken up, she was only concerned about her health and completely ignored the father.
When Zhong Xinyi saw her father's ferocious face, she shrank into her mother's arms in fear. It was this action that broke down her mother's last line of defense.
