In the afternoon, Cai Lin and the others chatted and laughed in the dormitory, constantly talking about Zhong Xinyi's heroic deeds.
Suddenly, with a "bang," the dormitory door was pushed open, and the talking stopped abruptly.
Zhong Xinyi walked in into the light and stood domineeringly in front of Cai Lin, staring intently at her.
Chae Rim usually just talks a big game and doesn't dare to confront Chung Hsin-Yi head-on.
Not wanting to lose face in front of her girlfriends, she stiffened her neck and shouted, "Zhong Xinyi, are you sick? Why did you kick the door for no reason?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the others quickly and secretly retreated.
Zhong Xinyi glanced at them and said casually, "This is none of your business. Do you want to leave first?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The others quickly echoed, having witnessed Zhong Xinyi's ruthlessness firsthand.
We can't afford to mess with them!
Chae Rim stared in disbelief as her friends abandoned her. "You, you guys come back."
All that could be heard was the sound of the door closing.
"Stop shouting, they've already run downstairs." Zhong Xinyi clenched her fists, making a cracking sound.
Looking around the enclosed space, Chae Rim felt a sense of fear. "What are you going to do? If I have any injuries, you definitely won't be able to escape."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't hit you."
Chung Hsin-yi got straight to the point, "I know you spread the rumors this morning."
"Don't rush to deny it. If I pick any person, she'll definitely tell the truth."
Chae Rim believed this statement, swallowed hard, and seemed to regret her actions that morning.
If Zhong Xinyi knew about her nonsense yesterday, what would happen...?
No, I absolutely can't let her know.
"Chae Rim, I usually avoid direct confrontation with you because I don't want to cause trouble for the leader. This is the last time. If you dare to mess with me again, I will definitely reveal your secret." The last sentence was whispered in her ear.
Chae Rim stared in surprise, "What secret could I possibly have?"
"Are you sure you don't have any secrets?" Zhong Xinyi sneered. "You lied and said you came from a wealthy family and that you were picked up in luxury cars, but you're always the last one to get in the car and go home during every holiday."
Turning around, she approached Cai Lin directly, "Also, all the little favors you gave them were fake; they weren't worth much."
Cai Lin's family was just an ordinary nouveau riche family, and her father favored sons over daughters. If she hadn't joined the performing arts troupe, she might not have gotten her father's attention.
"How...how did you know?"
Cai Lin looked at the other person in horror. She was sure she had kept this a secret, and even Hu Liyang, who was close to her, didn't know about it.
That's...that's terrifying!
"That's not something you should be asking. You can figure out what to do next yourself."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, got up, and opened the door.
"Ouch..."
Several people were eavesdropping outside the door, and due to inertia, they suddenly lunged forward.
Zhong Xinyi quickly turned to the side, glanced at the two sitting on the ground, and swaggered out.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I ran into Ma Qin, who was on her way.
"Xiaoyi, you..."
Ma Qin looked left and right, and only when she saw that Cai Lin inside the house was unharmed did she feel relieved.
Hu Liyang had just run up to her, saying that Xiao Yi was going to kill someone. She was so scared that she didn't have time to ask what was going on and immediately ran over after her.
"Commander, I'm fine." Zhong Xinyi paused for a moment, "They're fine too."
Ma Qin understood immediately and said to the people beside her, "Hurry up and pack up, everyone disperse."
Hu Liyang and the others knew that the group leader was protecting Zhong Xinyi, but they were helpless.
The next day, Chae Rim finally admitted that she had been talking nonsense, and the rumors were finally dispelled.
Gu Qingyun had naturally heard about the cultural troupe.
"You mean that girl was neither humble nor arrogant, and wasn't affected at all?"
The adjutant whispered, "Yes, sir. I heard that she and Cai Lin talked about something in the room, and Cai Lin took the initiative to clarify it today."
Ever since he learned that this was the girl Ah Kai liked, the old commander had been keeping a close eye on the news from the performing arts troupe.
Gu Qingyun said in a deep voice, "I understand. You can go now."
This girl seems to be quite something; she might actually be able to tame Ah Kai.
After the turmoil subsided, the cultural troupe returned to its usual tranquility.
However, everyone felt more fear towards Zhong Xinyi.
The family compound was a gossip hotspot, and Su Jingjing didn't want to get involved, but she overheard them mentioning Xinyi and started paying attention.
Her eyes flickered, and she went upstairs without making a sound.
A few minutes later, Ah Ting returned as well.
Seeing that his wife didn't react when he entered the room, Li Hanting asked, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Su Jingjing then realized that she was still holding vegetables in her hand.
"Ah Ting, I heard about Xin Yi's situation. Is she alright?"
Li Hanting told his wife to sit down, and he would start cooking.
Explain Zhong Xinyi's situation to her in detail.
Su Jingjing then learned about Xinyi's background and could not believe that she had suffered so much in her childhood.
"Ah Ting, I'd like to invite Xin Yi over for dinner."
"Okay, I'll have someone inform her."
Li Hanting looked completely henpecked.
As soon as Zhong Xinyi finished training, a man ran over.
She recognized him as Liu Yang, the adjutant beside Commander Li.
Liu Yang didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Miss Zhong, the regimental commander's wife would like to invite you to her home for dinner."
Quietly?
Zhong Xinyi agreed, "Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes first."
After changing her clothes, she realized that it wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed.
But she had nothing on her to give to her two children.
Su Jingjing had been busy all afternoon, and the two children, smelling the delicious aroma, were already starving.
An'an immediately saw the answer: "Mom, is anyone coming over for dinner later?"
"Mom invited Sister Xinyi to our house for dinner."
"I'm so happy, Yuanyuan hasn't seen Sister Xinyi in so long."
Li Yuanyuan clapped and cheered.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Su Jingjing knew that Xinyi had arrived.
When I opened the door, it was indeed Xinyi standing there.
"Sister Jingjing."
Zhong Xinyi looked up and saw Jingjing's smile, and her nervousness and anxiety instantly disappeared.
"You've arrived, and I've just finished cooking."
"Sister Xinyi..."
"Sister Xinyi".
The two children behaved very politely.
Zhong Xinyi joked, "An'an and Yuanyuan, your sister Xinyi has shamelessly come to your house for dinner again."
"Sister Xinyi, my mom made a lot of delicious food. You must eat more of it later."
Li Yuanyuan pulled Zhong Xinyi's hand and led her into the living room.
This morning, Ah Ting had to go to the city for something and couldn't make it back for dinner, so it was just the few of them having dinner.
Zhong Xinyi swallowed hard when she saw the sumptuous dinner on the table.
"Sister Jingjing, this is too lavish."
There's meat and fish in it; I wouldn't dare eat like this during Chinese New Year.
She was afraid that Sister Jingjing had gone to great lengths to treat her to a meal.
"It's nothing, it's a rare occasion."
Su Jingjing smiled nonchalantly.
Without Commander Li present, Zhong Xinyi felt much more at ease at dinner, and with Yuanyuan's help, the atmosphere at the table was truly warm and cozy.
