Rebirth: Little Transparent Becomes Group Pet

After the nude photo scandal, Wang Qingqing suffered profound trauma, becoming a secluded woman, never venting. Once fierce, spirited, and energetic, she became silent, her face haggard, her eyes dull. She often sat alone by the window, gazing out at the world, her heart filled with sorrow and despair.

Every day, she was consumed by deep pain, unable to shake off the painful memories. She had lost faith in life and felt hopeless. Even her family's attempts to comfort her proved ineffective.

Wang Qingqing felt abandoned by society and despised by people. She didn't dare face the outside world's gaze and evaluation, fearing being hurt again. So she chose to escape, shutting herself away in a small world, isolating herself from the outside world.

However, time failed to heal her wounds; instead, it deepened her depression. She began to doubt her future, to question whether she could ever escape this shadow. The events of that time haunted her like a nightmare, plunging her into endless pain...

Although Lian Xiaoya also felt that this incident had a great impact on Wang Qingqing, she absolutely believed that Wang Qingqing would not fall down like this, but would do something even more excessive in the future.

That day, Lian Xiaoya received a red envelope. Upon opening it, she discovered it was a wedding invitation. She was surprised, as she hadn't expected such a letter. As she carefully read the invitation, she discovered the groom was Cheng Lang. This surprised her even more, as she had never imagined he'd get married. The bride's name was unfamiliar to Lian Xiaoya. However, she suspected the bride was the blind date that Ouyang Mo had told her about some time ago.

Just then Ouyang Mo called her. "Hello! Xiaoya, did you receive the invitation too?"

"Yeah, I just got it. I didn't expect Cheng Lang to be so anxious to get married. Isn't he not graduated from college like us? Could he be pregnant before marriage?" Lian Xiaoya asked jokingly?

"I don't think so! We have met the bride and she probably didn't get married because of what you said. Maybe Cheng Lang's parents want him to settle down sooner! And there is no explicit rule in our school that prohibits marriage during school hours!" Ouyang Mo also said

So that's how it is! Lian Xiaoya thought Wang Qingqing probably didn't know whether she wanted to use this news to further provoke her. So the little devil in her heart came out again and decided to go find Wang Qingqing in person.

Lian Xiaoya came to Wang Qingqing's residence and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door opened from the inside. Wang Qingqing came out from behind the door with disheveled hair and dirty face.

"It's you? What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Wang Qingqing said in a dead voice.

"It's nothing, sister. I'm here to tell you a good news. Do you want to know?" Lian Xiaoya said deliberately keeping it a secret.

"Good news. Is there any good news for me at this time?" Wang Qingqing asked in disbelief?

"Oh, right! This news shouldn't be good news for you! Then let me tell you! Your ex-boyfriend is getting married!" Lian Xiaoya put the wedding invitation on the table. Wang Qingqing took the invitation and opened it. It was really Cheng Lang's wedding invitation. Lian Xiaoya did not lie to her.

"Hmph! You said he was my ex-boyfriend, so what does his marriage now have to do with me?" Wang Qingqing said stubbornly. Although Wang Qingqing broke up with Cheng Lang, she still loved him. Other people were just passing clouds to her.

"Oh ~ It's none of your business? It doesn't matter. Cheng Lang is very high-profile this time. As the student union, he invited all the students in the school. He asked me to pass this invitation to you!" Lian Xiaoya said. She didn't expect Cheng Lang to be so high-profile this time. If she didn't go, it would seem like she was stingy!

"Okay, tell him I will definitely go." Wang Qingqing said

"But, sister, why are you in such a bad state now? Didn't you say you had a new boyfriend? Then why didn't he help you solve the problem this time?" Lian Xiaoya asked out of genuine curiosity?

Not to mention Lian Xiaoya, even Wang Qingqing herself found it strange. Even if they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, he was the one on the other side of the situation after all. Didn't he want to resolve it? Even if it wasn't for her, then for himself!

"He~ He's been too busy lately, it's not that he hasn't helped me! Don't get me wrong!" Wang Qingqing said to her with a smile. She didn't want her to know that there was a rift between them. Although she was a little sad, she chose to hide the truth. After all, she felt that now was not the time to tell her the truth.

Everyone present was intelligent, and they readily understood the implications of Wang Qingqing's current situation—she had lost her support and help. Xiaoya understood this as well, but she didn't point it out directly. She knew that even if Wang Qingqing continued to stubbornly insist on her position, she would inevitably suffer the consequences once things progressed to a certain point. Xiaoya wasn't eager to argue with Wang Qingqing or expose her situation, believing that the facts would make everything clear. She simply observed the situation silently, waiting for the moment when Wang Qingqing would finally face reality. Then, perhaps, she would regret not heeding others' advice and instead bearing the consequences alone.

After leaving Wang Qingqing's house, Lian Xiaoya went back to the Lian family. As soon as she got home, she saw her father Lian whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Dad, I'm back!" Lian Xiaoya called him and found that her father seemed to have aged several years. He must be worried about Wang Qingqing's matter!

"Xiaoya, you're back! Why didn't you come back to eat with Ouyang Mo?" Lian's father asked with concern.

"Oh! I had work today so I came back alone to eat. Why don't you welcome me?" Lian Xiaoya said mischievously.

"No, no, I'm just concerned about you! Come and sit down! The meal will be ready soon. Come and chat with me for a while." Lian's father took Lian Xiaoya's hand and sat on the sofa.

"Dad, have you been worried about something recently?" Lian Xiaoya asked sincerely.

"Xiao Ya, you should also know about your sister, right? How could she become like this?" Lian's father asked with heartache.

"Dad, my sister must have been drunk and someone accidentally took these photos!" Lian Xiaoya said

"Then what do you think we should do? Doesn't she still have a company? Why hasn't her company come forward to help her clarify this matter after so long?" Lian's father asked carefully.

"I guess their company needs to get to the bottom of this before they can help her turn things around!" Lian Xiaoya said.

Even the father felt that what she said made sense, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay! Let's go eat!" The two of them came to the table and sat down.

"By the way, Dad, have you received Cheng Lang's wedding invitation?" Lian Xiaoya asked?

"Yes! But why would he send an invitation to our family? We don't have any contact with them!" Lian's father asked curiously?

"Oh! I guess he's Ouyang Mo's cousin, and he's also my classmate, so he sent an invitation to our family too!" Lian Xiaoya thought for a moment and guessed. After all, her family and the Ouyang family didn't have any connections, and they had no dealings with each other, let alone any conflicts or disagreements. So the only explanation for this matter was this. She was confident that her judgment was correct, because apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason.

"So that's how it is! Then what do you think I should prepare as a gift?" Lian's father asked Lian Xiaoya. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed anticipation and nervousness.

Lian Xiaoya frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Dad, you could consider giving them a gift that's not too cost-effective. For example, you could choose some cultural art or handmade gifts to express your blessings to them! Besides, Cheng Lang has everything he needs! Of course, if you feel these aren't suitable, you can choose other gifts based on your preferences. The important thing is that this gift should reflect your blessings for them."

After hearing what Lian Xiaoya said, Lian's father nodded in agreement. He knew that this was a complex matter and required careful consideration. After all, this was a special occasion, and although he had little connection with their family, he still hoped to express his feelings with an appropriate gift.

Lian Xiaoya watched her father's pensive expression, feeling a surge of helplessness. She knew her father had always placed great importance on connecting with various stakeholders, especially those within this circle of powerful and influential people. For this wedding, he must have hoped to bring a special and distinguished gift, a gift that would convey his sincere blessings and respect to the newlyweds.

Lian Xiaoya decided to help her father choose a gift. She began searching for wedding gift ideas and, combining her own aesthetic sense, provided her father with some specific suggestions. Over the next few days, the father and daughter explored shopping malls, art galleries, and craft shops, searching for the perfect gift.

Finally, after repeated comparisons and careful selection, they found the perfect gift: a pair of exquisitely hand-embroidered screens. These screens not only possess a rich artistic atmosphere but also symbolize the newlyweds' happiness and longevity together. When Mr. Lian saw the gift, his eyes flickered with surprise and satisfaction. He was confident that this gift would become a cherished possession for the newlyweds.

After preparing the gifts, Lian's father and Lian Xiaoya were looking forward to the wedding with great joy. However, Lian's father still didn't know that Cheng Lang was Wang Qingqing's ex-boyfriend. If he knew, it would be disastrous. So Lian Xiaoya kept it a secret from him for the time being.
