Chapter 157: I’m Looking for Qin Shuang!

The more Xue Xi thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss.

She was a little distracted during the meal. After asking her what’s wrong, Ye Li could not help but sigh. “Is that school really that useful? It’s only been a week and everyone has changed?”

Xue Xi frowned thoughtfully.

After dinner, they went upstairs. Xue Xi and Ye Li went to the study room as usual. Xue Xi played games and Ye Li drew. This was a habit they had developed this week.

Xue Xi waited for a while, but seeing that Wild King was not looking for her, she sent him a WeChat message: “?”

Seeing that the Wild King did not reply immediately, Xue Xi opened the game. She had wanted to play alone, but she saw that the Wild King was online and pulled her to play with him.

Xue Xi nodded in agreement. After entering the team, she realized that there were three rows and another person in the group. Wild King asked her: “Do you mind if I bring in a girl?”

Xue Xi replied: “No problem.”

The three of them played one round, but Xue Xi felt uneasy while playing. After playing one round, she was just about to play another round when Xue Xi exited to send a WeChat message to Wild King. “I’ll be going now, you guys continue.”

Her instincts had always been correct. There must be something wrong with Qin Shuang.

It was impossible for a person to change so much in such a short period of time.

She wanted to call Gao Yanchen, but for some unknown reason, when she switched to the phone mode, she subconsciously dialed the number that she remembered deeply.

The moment the call connected, Xiang Huai’s voice was heard. “Tsk, little kid, what’s the matter?”

Xue Xi’s eyes flickered. “I think the chatterbox is in some kind of trouble.”

“Why do you say that?”

Xue Xi settled down and sighed. “Intuition.”

She knew that her words were not convincing.

Who would believe her instincts? No one would rely on their instincts to do anything.

Just as she was thinking that the other party might comfort her, Xiang Huai said, “Mhm, I’ll investigate.”

Xue Xi paused. “You… trust me?”

Xiang Huai laughed. “Why not?”

His voice was originally low, but at this moment, it sounded like it came from a sound system. It was very full.

Those two words made Xue Xi feel as though something was hitting her heart. Looking at the window, she saw that the night sky outside had become darker, but she felt a warmth inside.

Xue Xi slowly said, “Thank you.”

She was only a student and did not know how to investigate. She could only rely on her friends.

Xiang Huai continued, “I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.”

Xue Xi: “Mhm.”

After hanging up, Xue Xi sat in her seat for a while, then got up and took leave of Ye Li. She returned to her room and picked up the elemental chemistry book again.

The next day, she received a call from Xiang Huai after she woke up. “There is indeed a problem with that school. I got someone to collect evidence, but I think you should stop the Qin family from sending your friend over today.”

Xue Xi paused. “What’s wrong?”

Xiang Huai said, “I suspect that they use physical punishment on the students. As for what methods they use, that’s still being investigated.”

Physical punishment…

Xue Xi’s pupils constricted as she said, “I got it. I’ll go stop the chatterbox’s parents now!”

She promptly boarded the car and headed to the Qin family home.

Along the way, he gave Old Liu a call to ask for leave. When Old Liu heard about the situation, he immediately agreed and even reminded her, “If you have something to say, you have to tell the Qin family. Sigh. Forget it. I’ll go over later too.”

Unfortunately, when Xue Xi arrived at the Qin family, the Qin family’s butler told her that Mrs. Qin had already sent Qin Shuang to school that morning.

…

The Qin family’s car was on the way.

Qin Shuang held the book and continued to memorize the poem “Li Sao” with all her might. She had to repeat the words five to six times. Mrs. Qin felt comforted, then her heart ached.

If she had only used her skills earlier, would she need to be working so hard now?

She sighed deeply. “Xiao Shuang, stop reading for now. Let’s eat breakfast.”

“No need.”

Qin Shuang continued memorizing after giving a reply. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not maintain her focus. She could not remember this essay no matter what.

The closer she got to the school, the more painful it was for her. She looked at Mrs. Qin and could not even utter a single word of objection. It was as though she had been pressed into the water…

As though sensing that she was a little uncomfortable, Mrs. Qin frowned and asked, “Xiao Shuang, what’s wrong?”

Qin Shuang clutched her chest and shook her head. “Mom, can you not send me to that school?”

Mrs. Qin frowned. “Xiao Shuang, you’ve changed a lot in that school after only a week. If you insist on it…”

Persistence…

At this thought, Qin Shuang could not help but grab her hand. “Mom, I don’t want to go anymore. I’ll listen to you from now on. Bring me home!”

Her eyes turned red.

Mrs. Qin’s heart ached. Just as she was about to say something, Qin Shuang said, “Mom, do you love me?”

Mrs. Qin replied, “Of course I love you. Why are you asking this?”

“Bring me home if you love me!” Qin Shuang’s voice became sharp. “If you don’t bring me home, that means you don’t love me!”

Mrs. Qin’s heart ached for her instantly. At this moment, she felt that she had seen that rebellious girl again. What did she mean by not bringing her home meant that she did not love her?

She took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Xiao Shuang, I know that you might hate me now, but in the future, you will know that I am doing this for your own good…”

“Own good, my ass!”

Qin Shuang patted the chair. “I want to go home. I want to go home!”

Unfortunately, they had already arrived at the school.

The form teacher rushed over, and the struggling Qin Shuang instantly quietened down.

The form teacher smiled. “Student Qin Shuang, come out!”

Qin Shuang got out of the car in fear. Looking at Mrs. Qin, she suddenly said, “I hate you. I hate you…”

After saying this, she walked toward the school.

Mrs. Qin was left standing rooted to the ground.

The principal walked over and sighed. “The child is in her rebellious stage. Don’t worry, she will definitely be fine the next time she comes home.”

Mrs. Qin nodded.

Qin Shuang followed the teacher-in-charge into the school. Everyone queued up to recite the assigned essay.

Everyone else had memorized it, but when it was Qin Shuang’s turn, her mind seemed to be in a knot. The form teacher’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he grabbed her hair and walked toward the pool.

…

When Xue Xi arrived at this elite school, the door was already closed.

She knocked on the metal door and a security guard quickly opened it. Xue Xi said, “I’m looking for Qin Shuang.”

The security officer paused when he saw the uniform she was wearing and chased her away. “What are you doing outside our school? Scram!”

Xue Xi asked, “Are you going to let me in or not?”

The security guard stood up straight. “No!”
