The Fake Daughter has to be the Group Favorite of Seven Brothers

He Jing paused and heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking back, He Ning stopped behind her. His eyes were lowered and his expression was hard to see, but there was a sense of depression lingering around him.

He Jing immediately understood his thoughts——

He missed Cheng Yi.

He must hope that this call was from Cheng Yi.

Unfortunately that’s unlikely to be the case.

After calming down, He Jing dialed the number.

pass.

He Ning reached out and pressed the speakerphone on the landline phone.

He Jing shouted softly into the phone: “Hello?”

The microphone paused for three seconds, and then a high-pitched female voice erupted like a volcano. The decibels were so loud that it almost broke the roof: “Hey He Jing, how dare you bully Xiaoyi in school! I didn’t bully you.” The reason for driving Yin Gao out is because of our many years of mother-daughter love, and you actually took advantage of my unpreparedness to bully my own daughter!”

He Jing never thought that old-fashioned telephones could have speaker-like functions. She covered the microphone with a “pop–” to reduce noise pollution, and listened to the loud noise on the other side:

“The matter hasn’t been clarified yet, Shuping, please don’t speak too harshly.”

“Xiaoyi cried like that when she came back, and you still speak for a fake daughter. Cheng Yue, do you have any intention?”

“However, Xiaoyi also said that it’s none of Jingjing’s business, so let’s not misunderstand Jingjing.”

“Other than her, who else dares to bully me, the daughter of the Cheng family? Xiaoyi is kind-hearted and is afraid that we will be sad, so she shirks the blame for her. Do you believe this?”

…

There was silence on the phone.

Then, the middle-aged man’s voice became louder: “Hey, be quiet.”

He Jing then took her hand away from the receiver, picked up the phone, put it to her ear, and responded: “Uncle Cheng.”

Adoptive father Cheng Yue said with a hint of sadness: “Jingjing, dad has loved you for so many years and pampered you into a spoiled character. I have never regretted it. Dad has always thought that you are spoiled. You are able to understand right and wrong rationally. Dad thinks you are not bad in nature, except for being a little willful at ordinary times, but this time… you let dad down so much. Xiaoyi cried very sadly after she came back…”

Even though she was crying so sadly, she kept trying to excuse her, saying that her targeting of her must have been unintentional.

No matter how angry He Jing was that they exchanged Cheng Yi for the Cheng family, she shouldn’t 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 directly: “What did Cheng Yi tell you?”

Ye Shuping grabbed the microphone and said sternly into the microphone: “Xiaoyi didn’t say anything bad about you. Don’t even think about throwing dirty water on her.”

He Jing said: “Then why not call her over and confront her?”

Ye Shuping said coldly: “Xiaoyi is tired of crying and has gone to bed. She didn’t do any homework today. No matter what the facts are, I warn you not to bully Xiaoyi in school in the future, otherwise I will ask Yingao to expel you.”

After saying that, the phone was hung up with a bang, leaving a busy tone.

He Jing put down the phone and turned around, only to see He Ning’s eyes were indifferent. He Sui, who had just found clothes in the room and was about to take a shower, was standing at the door of the room with an ugly face. Even He Xiaoguo, who was eating snacks, stopped eating and would suck it. He pulled his fingers out of his mouth and wrinkled his face.

Her heart sank, and she calmly and slowly stood up from her squatting position.

He Sui stared at her and asked coldly: “What did you do to Xiaoyi?”

The warmth of the journey home from school disappeared at this moment.
