Chapter 55: Chapter 55 You Don’t Know How Serious This Is
Geng Erhong was an impatient woman. She recounted exactly what had just happened.
Wang Jianhui frowned after listening and turned to Li Rongjuan, "Is that so?"
Li Rongjuan actually wanted to speak on behalf of Deng Xiaojie, but with Yunyi and Geng Erhong staring at her, she could only nod at Wang Jianhui and say, "Yes."
Yunyi turned to look at Wang Jianhui, "We’ve just arrived and didn’t expect Deng Zhiqing to try and brand us on the very first day. I’d like to know, is this a longstanding rule at our Zhiqing Point, or is she personally trying to cause trouble for us newcomers?"
Wang Jianhui also looked displeased. "Chu Zhiqing, what do you mean by that?"
Yunyi had not intended to cause trouble upon arrival, but now she had changed her mind.
By causing this scene today, she wanted to let everyone at the Zhiqing Point know that she had a short fuse and wouldn’t hesitate to resort to violence if provoked. They’d better think twice before messing with her.
Hearing Wang Jianhui’s question, Yunyi glanced at the veteran zhiqing opposite her. "I just want to know, does every new group of zhiqing have to go through this to integrate into life at the Zhiqing Point, or is this just Deng Zhiqing’s personal doing?"
Yunyi knew asking this would make the veteran zhiqing uncomfortable, but she had to involve them to prevent them from trying to smooth things over.
Hearing Yunyi’s words, Wang Jianhui hurriedly waved his hands to clarify, "Chu Zhiqing, we’ve all come to the countryside to support its development. Our Zhiqing Point absolutely does not tolerate the bullying of newcomers."
After speaking, he looked at Deng Xiaojie. "Deng Zhiqing, I don’t care what your reasons were for doing that, but the Zhiqing Point certainly won’t take the blame for your personal actions. You must apologize to Chu Zhiqing and Geng Zhiqing for what happened today."
Deng Xiaojie hadn’t expected this newcomer to play so unconventionally, actually daring to expose the matter publicly. However, she knew that if she didn’t apologize today, she wouldn’t get off lightly. "I’m sorry. Today was my fault. Please forgive me."
Having traveled for several days, Yunyi was already exhausted and didn’t want to drag things out unpleasantly. Besides, she would be moving out of the Zhiqing Point in a few days anyway. It was enough that they knew she wasn’t a pushover. "I hope we can all get along in the coming days."
Without saying whether she forgave them or not, Yunyi turned and went back to her room.
She took her basin, fetched some water, and returned to wipe down the table. After a quick wash outside, she came back, spread out the mattress pad she had brought, and laid her thin quilt on top.
She nimbly climbed onto the bed, lay down, and closed her eyes to rest, indifferent to what the others in the room might be thinking.
As for the space, she currently had nothing on hand and was living with so many others. It wouldn’t hurt to wait a few more days. She would deal with it once she was more settled.
Perhaps it was because she had spent the past few days either on the road seeking revenge or on the journey to the countryside, she was truly exhausted. Before long, the sound of her even breathing filled the room.
「Beijing」
Ye Wenjuan threw everything in the room onto the floor. "Am I even your biological daughter? Why do you always side with Ye Wenyue whenever something happens? You clearly could have asked Eldest Uncle for help, why didn’t you?"
Seeing no reaction from outside the room, she eventually screamed hysterically, "I hate you!"
In the living room, Zhang Baoxiang wore a troubled expression. "Bingkun, Wenjuan is only acting like this because she doesn’t want to go to the countryside. Besides, the spot was given back to Wenyue, so don’t be angry."
Hearing this, Ye Bingkun’s anger, instead of subsiding, flared up. "Don’t you understand how serious this is? She only dares to act this way because you’ve spoiled her! Every time something happens, you cover for her. You always say she’s young. Look at her now, how bold has she become? Daring to impersonate someone! How am I supposed to face my elder brother and sister-in-law? How can I face the younger generation of the family?"
