Just returned to the dormitory, Yue Xingxing saw her phone ringing.
Looking at the caller ID, she couldn't help but smile.
But as soon as she noticed the curious glances from her roommates, she immediately restrained herself.
She took her phone and went to the hallway.
"Qingqing, why are you suddenly calling me?" Yue Xingxing lowered her voice, sounding very gentle.
She seemed like a completely different person from when she was in the water room just now.
Yue Qingqing thought about the text message Ding Xiulan sent, "Sister Xingxing, have you been bullied at school lately?"
As soon as Yue Xingxing heard this, she immediately laughed.
"Don't worry, who can bully me? I'm not afraid even if it's ten people."
"Don't you know me yet? Those people can't do much; they can only talk big. Let them talk, it doesn't cost me anything."
Yue Xingxing's indifferent attitude reminded Yue Qingqing of their grandmother.
In the whole family, Sister Xingxing is the most like their grandmother.
As a child, she seemed a bit shy, but as she grew up, her personality became identical to Lin Chunju's.
Her almond-shaped eyes would slightly squint when angry, and her arguing tone was calm but always infuriated the opponent.
Such a disposition indeed wouldn't suffer any losses.
Yue Qingqing felt relieved but then Yue Xingxing asked her in return.
"Have you been bullied recently? Sigh, you're so gentle, some people may take advantage of that."
She thought about it, worried that her sister might get bullied and not know how to fight back.
"List their names for me, and I'll go find them one by one later."
Yue Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, feeling warm as well.
"No, I'm doing fine."
"Then that's good." Yue Xingxing said, but she still wasn't completely reassured.
She planned to find a time without classes to visit Qingqing's school, and if she caught anyone bullying her sister, she'd deal with them.
"I'll hang up now; I'm planning to call Xiaohu too."
"Don't. That boy seems to be in training these days, his phone's taken away, not allowed to use it."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingqing inexplicably felt more at ease.
"So, no one should be bullying Xiaohu, right?"
Yue Xingxing laughed, "Why worry about him? Not to mention the military school trains daily, so probably no one cares about gossip, but don't you know his personality? Carefree, he doesn't take anything to heart, if anything happens, it's sure to be resolved with his fists."
"If he gets into trouble, the opponent will surely end up in the hospital, and the teacher will notify us."
With that explanation, she felt uneasy again.
But according to Sister Xingxing's logic, since no one has notified them, Xiaohu should be fine.
Yue Qingqing thought it over and felt relieved again.
"Alright, you don't worry about us either, you're the one who's feeling the worst about this situation, don't worry about us."
Yue Xingxing put herself in Qingqing's shoes, if she were Qingqing, forced by her original family to this extent, she'd probably feel hopeless inside too.
Little did she know, Yue Qingqing never cared about that family from the start.
But the family she truly cared about was all concerned for her, protecting her.
This warmth filled Yue Qingqing's heart, and even after hanging up, this joyful feeling lingered within.
She calculated the time and sent texts to her senior and Jiang Jingze.
"Time is about right."
So when the public opinion peaked, and two generations argued endlessly,
Someone from the Yue Family would come forward to accept a TV interview.
Explaining everything from start to finish.
Yue Qingqing's mysterious origins would be revealed in a live broadcast for everyone to see.
The truth hidden beneath the iceberg seems to be surfacing soon.
