Chapter 42: Condemned
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Jing paused. She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw He Ning stopping behind her. His eyes were lowered, and his expression was hard to see. However, there was a gloomy aura surrounding him.
He Jing immediately understood his thoughts.
He missed Cheng Yi.
He must have hoped that this call was from Cheng Yi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnfortunately, it was unlikely.
After calming herself down, He Jing dialed the number.
Beep-Beep–
The call went through.
He Ning reached out and put the phone on speaker.
He Jing shouted into the microphone, “Hello?”
There was a three-second pause before a high-pitched female voice burst forth like a volcanic eruption. The decibel was so loud that it almost split the roof. “He Jing, how dare you bully Xiao Yi in school! I didn’t chase you out of Yin High School because of our many years of mother-daughter relationship. You actually bullied my biological daughter when I was unprepared!”
He Jing had never thought that old-fashioned phones could have the function of a loudspeaker. She hurriedly covered the microphone to reduce the noise pollution as she listened to the commotion on the other end.
“Things haven’t been clarified yet. Shuping, don’t make things sound too unpleasant. ”
“Xiao Yi came back in that state, and you’re still speaking up for a fake daughter. Cheng Yue, do you have a heart?”
“But Xiao Yi also said that it has nothing to do with Jingjing. Let’s not misunderstand Jingjing.”
“Other than her, who else dares to bully the daughter of the Cheng family? Xiao Yi is kind and afraid that we will be sad, so she pushed the blame on her behalf. How could you believe these words?”
The receiver fell silent.
Then, the middle-aged man raised his voice. “Hello, Jingjing.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly then did He Jing remove her hand from the receiver. She picked up the phone and put it to her ear. She replied, “Uncle Cheng.”
Her adoptive father, Cheng Yue, said with a hint of heartache, “Jingjing, I’ve doted on you for so many years and spoiled you until you have a pampered personality. I’ve never regretted it. I’ve always felt that you’re still able to understand right from wrong despite being spoiled. I feel that you’re not a bad person, except for being a little willful usually, but this time…You’ve disappointed Daddy too much. Xiao Yi wept very sadly when she came back…”
Even though she was crying so sadly, she kept trying to defend her and said that she must have been targeting her unintentionally.
No matter how angry He Jing was at them for switching Cheng Yi back to the Cheng family, she should not vent her anger on Cheng Yi. She had suffered enough for so many years.
He Jing was so amused that she even laughed out loud. She asked, “What did Cheng Yi tell you?”
Ye Shuping grabbed the receiver and said sternly, “Xiao Yi didn’t say anything bad about you. Don’t even think about making personal attacks on her.” “Then why don’t we call her over to confront her?” He Jing said.
Ye Shuping said coldly, “Xiao Yi is tired from crying. She’s already asleep. She didn’t do her homework today. No matter what the truth is, I’m warning you not to bully Xiaoyi in school in the future. Otherwise, I’ll get Yin High School to expel you.”
After saying that, the phone was hung up with a bang, leaving behind a busy tone.
He Jing put down the phone and turned around to see He Ning’s indifferent gaze. He Sui, who had just gotten some clothes from his room and was about to take a shower, stood at the door with an ugly expression. Even He Xiaoguo, who had been eating snacks, stopped eating, pulling the fingers he had been sucking on from his mouth and frowning.
Her heart sank, and she slowly got up from her squatting position.
“What did you do to Xiao Yi?” He Sui stared at her and asked coldly. The warmth they felt on the way home from school disappeared at this moment..
