The next morning, Ye Qingxin received a call from her mother.
"Xinxin, your aunt called last night, saying that you... You hit Shiyun, what happened?"
Ye Qingxin didn't speak.
Silence at this time is the default.
"Xinxin, your uncle is kind to us. If Shiyun has something that makes you unhappy, don't bother with her. Go to your uncle's house today to apologize to Shiyun..."
Ye Qingxin was silent.
"Xinxin..." the mother's voice was pleading.
"Mom." Ye Qingxin said softly, her voice was flat, without any emotion, "You also said that the one who is kind to us is uncle, not Tai Shiyun. She owes cleaning up, and I won't apologize. Next time she messes with me again, I will clean up as usual."
"..." The other side was silent for a while, "Xinxin, I beg you as a mother. If it wasn't for your uncle, your younger brother wouldn't be able to afford special schools at all. I don't know how he would be bullied. And you, if your uncle didn't pay for your education, have you ever thought about what would happen to you now? I don't care who is right or wrong between you and Shiyun, you go and apologize."
Ye Qingxin's fingers holding the phone slowly tightened.
"I don't..." She still wanted to be stubborn.
"Xinxin...cough cough! Mom knows that you must have been wronged. It's all mother's fault. It's because mother is incapable of guarding the house and your father. Otherwise...or you don't have to work so hard..." Zhou Qiaoqiao choked up as she spoke.
"Mom, stop talking." Ye Qingxin gently interrupted her, and compromised: "I'll go and apologize, don't cry."
"Xinxin..." Zhou Qiaoqiao's voice was full of distress and self-blame.
"I'm fine, Mom." Ye Qingxin's voice was relaxed, "I earned some money from a part-time job some time ago, and I'll remit it to you later. Let's do this first. I haven't gotten up yet, so I'm dead."
After cutting off the phone, Ye Qingxin sat on the bed for a while, emptied her eyes, then got up, dressed, and washed.
After everything was cleaned up, the curtains were opened, and it was gloomy outside, as if it was going to rain.
The treetops are bare, which means that winter is not over yet.
Ye Qingxin skipped breakfast, first went to the bank to transfer money, and then went straight to work.
Just like the day before, I finished a job and rushed to tutoring.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I walked out of the student's house.
She left half an hour early today.
Because I was going to visit Tai's house, I apologized to Tai Shiyun.
Fearing that it would be too late to go back to school, she took a taxi.
It was already forty minutes after arriving outside Tai's villa.
The villa is brightly lit, and there are many evergreen trees planted in the yard, which look lush and lush, which is different from the bare treetops outside the dormitory window.
The servant led her into the door of the bungalow. When she was changing her slippers at the entrance, she could vaguely hear the occasional laughter from the living room.
But as soon as she walked into the living room, the laughter suddenly disappeared.
Seeing her, Tai Shiyun's face turned cold, and he mocked: "What are you doing at my house? Are you short of money again?"
Tai Shishi stood up and greeted her in a friendly manner: "Xinxin is here, come and sit down."
There was a stiff smile on the corner of Li Shufen's mouth.
Tai Zhengting looked at Ye Qingxin and didn't speak.
Ye Qingxin first greeted Tai Zhengting and Li Shufen: "Good evening, uncle and aunt." Then she turned to Tai Shiyun, "I was wrong last night. I shouldn't hit you just because you said something ugly. I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Having said this, anyone with a little sense of reason must weigh the truth of the matter.
In many cases, it is not only the one who hit the person who is wrong.
Sure enough, Tai Zhengting asked: "What did Shiyun say?"
What did you say? Tai Shiyun said that Zhou Qiaoqiao was a mistress who seduced Tai Zhengting.
Tai Zhengting's machismo thought, if he knew that his daughter was chewing his tongue like this behind his back, he would probably be furious.
Ye Qingxin smiled: "Cousin said..."
"Ye Qingxin!" Tai Shiyun interrupted what she was about to say, pointed at her angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense here, I just said that your family is all parasites, and you use our family's money for eating, drinking, and messing around. If you are not convinced, slap me..."
As she spoke, she began to cry, and handed the half of her face that hadn't subsided to Tai Zhengting and Li Shufen's eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, Mom, look, it hurts so much!"
Li Shufen held Tai Shiyun's face distressedly and blew, half blaming and half heartbroken
: "You too, what about parasites, your cousin's family is related to us, her mother was abandoned by a man ten years ago, her brother is also a fool, we should take care of it, don't say that in the future, you know?"
"Xinxin, Shiyun has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If she tells the truth again and makes you unhappy, don't bother with her. Treat her as your younger sister and let her be a little bit..."
The lethality of soft knives is no less than that of real knives and guns.
Ye Qingxin stood with her eyebrows down, "Yes, I will, Auntie, I'm going back to school first if there's nothing else to do."
After coming out of the gate of the western building, the sky was overcast all day, and now it finally rained.
Seeing this, the servant asked her, "Has Miss Ye brought an umbrella? If not, I'll get you an umbrella."
Just as Ye Qingxin was about to say no more, Tai Shiyun rushed out from inside and reprimanded the servant: "That umbrella didn't cost you money, did it? Give it to someone else if you want it, or you can give it to someone else. You can choose someone, don't give it to anyone..."
"Shiyun!" Tai Zhengting walked over with a stern tone.
Tai Shiyun closed her mouth unconvinced, stared at Ye Qingxin fiercely, turned and ran away.
Tai Zhengting looked at Ye Qingxin, "Don't be angry, I'll take you back."
Ye Qingxin smiled, "No need uncle, I called a taxi."
"I'll go to the garage to drive." Tai Zhengting didn't give her another chance to refuse.
It was raining heavily and windy outside, and it was bitingly cold.
Ye Qingxin stood under the eaves of the villa's gate, her long hair was blown up by the wind, her porcelain-white face became more and more translucent under the dim yellow door lamp, and her long and curly eyelashes drooped, concealing her emotions.
Tai Zhengting drove over and she got in the car.
The black car was driving in the misty rain in the capital.
"Xinxin, when did you meet Jing Boyuan?"
Ye Qingxin's eyelashes trembled, "I don't know him."
"Really?" Tai Zhengting smiled, "I saw him save you from a siege that day, I thought you two knew each other."
Ye Qingxin didn't answer any more.
Tai Zhengting added: "It's fine if you don't know him, but a man like Jing Boyuan is not something you can provoke. Be careful in the future."
Red light ahead.
Tai Zhengting stopped the car and looked in the rearview mirror. The girl lowered her head slightly, her small face was clean and graceful, and she had a different kind of fresh temperament, like a lily covered with dew in the valley in the morning, exhaling a faint fragrance.
With a twitch of his heart, he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Qingxin's little hand.
Ye Qingxin was startled, and instinctively shook off his hand.
Without saying anything, she opened the car door and fled out of the car.
She is not a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who doesn't understand anything. She already understands the meaning of some things, with a glance or a move.
I don't know how long she walked on the road, fell down several times, and got up again several times. The cold rain wet her clothes and hair. She only felt numb all over, and could not feel cold or pain.
Across the road is the bus stop, where there is a direct bus to B University.
Ye Qingxin walked over quickly.
Just took two steps.
scold!
The sound of emergency brakes pierced the rain.
Luo Feng cursed secretly: "Shit!" He actually bumped into someone for two days in a row.
After getting out of the car, he exploded again: "Damn!"
He hit the same person twice in a row.
Picking up the unconscious Ye Qingxin, walked to the rear door, knocked on the window, and the window opened in response, revealing Jing Boyuan's handsome and mature face.
"Mr. Jing, it's Miss Ye, we..."
Before finishing speaking, Jing Boyuan opened the car door and got out of the car, directly took Ye Qingxin from his arms, hugged her in his arms and sat in the car, then put her on his lap, hugging her like a child.
"Go to the hospital." He ordered lightly.
Luo Feng was surprised for a second, got in the car and drove to the hospital.
Jing Boyuan has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and usually pays attention to hygiene. Tonight, he hugged a girl who was wet and muddy, which was really weird.

Tai: tái
If you don’t know it, take a look, if you know it, it’s superfluous.
PS: Tai Zhengting is not an uncle, but Ye Qingxin's mother's first love.
