"Beep, beep, beep..."

After the call ended, only the hollow busy tone echoed in Qin Sisi's ears.

The room was eerily quiet, as if the roaring and cursing just now was merely Qin Sisi's illusion.

"Snapped……"

The backup phone slipped from her hand and landed limply on the blanket. Qin Sisi stared blankly, two streams of hot tears silently rolling down her cheeks.

"Qin Sisi, you bitch, you should die..."

"You mistress, you bitch! I wish you a lifetime plagued by STDs..."

"Qin Sisi, get out of Yuncheng..."

"Qin Sisi, you better not let me see you in Yuncheng, or I'll definitely throw rotten eggs in your face..."

Countless insults rained down on Qin Sisi. She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake all the insults out of her mind.

But it was completely useless!

These insults, like a curse, lingered in her mind, haunting her relentlessly, and she couldn't shake them off at all!

“…Get out!” She raised her hands and hugged her head tightly, her emotions, which had been tense for several days, collapsed at this moment.

"Get out of here! Get as far away as possible!"

"I'm not a mistress, nor am I a whore! I'm not leaving Yuncheng!!"

"Get out! All of you get out!! I don't want to hear your voices!"

"Aaaaaah!! Aaaaaah!!!"

Qin Sisi's desperate screams echoed throughout the villa. Ding Fenglian downstairs was startled and rushed to the door without even putting on her slippers.

"Sisi!"

The room door was kicked open, and Ding Fenglian stumbled in.

"Get out!!" Qin Sisi clutched her head, still screaming and yelling.

"Get out, all of you! Get out!"

"Ahhh!! I'm not a mistress, I'm not!!"

"Sisi!" Ding Fenglian ran to Qin Sisi's side and hugged her tightly.

"Sisi, it's alright, it's alright..." She pressed one hand on the back of Qin Sisi's head and patted Qin Sisi's back with the other, constantly comforting her with her actions and words.

"Sisi, be good. You're not a mistress, nor are you a bad person. You're Mommy's daughter, the apple of the Qin family's eye!"

"Ah!" Qin Sisi's roar turned into a wail, her small body trembling incessantly in Ding Fenglian's arms.

Ding Fenglian felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Sisi, don't listen to those crazy people talking nonsense. Our Sisi is kind and well-behaved, she's not some mistress."

"I'm not!!" Qin Sisi shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm not a mistress, I'm not! Lu Yibai loves me, Lu Yibai only loves me! As long as he loves me, I'm not a mistress!"

"No, no, Sisi, that's not it." Ding Fenglian patiently coaxed, going along with whatever Qin Sisi said.

Qin Sisi threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly, her voice hoarse but she wouldn't stop.

……

after an hour.

"Click..."

Ding Fenglian gently closed the door and tiptoed out.

"What is it now?" Qin Feihong stood in the corridor, frowning and staring at Ding Fenglian impatiently.

"Shh..." Ding Fenglian put her index finger to her lips, signaling Qin Feihong to be quiet.

Qin Feihong glared at her, then turned and walked to the stairwell.

Ding Fenglian followed behind him, her face full of heartache, and said, "What else could it be? Those netizens who have nothing better to do called to scold Sisi again..."

"I just don't understand, what does this have to do with them? They're all acting like madmen, relentlessly attacking Sisi. They've been cursing at her for days!"

"..." Qin Feihong didn't really want to talk about this topic, and only said in a low voice, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. If Sisi really did nothing wrong, why would those people be chasing after her and cursing her?"

"I... Sisi did nothing wrong!" Ding Fenglian argued with Qin Feihong, her voice weak and unconvincing. "All the things Qin Song accused her of during the live stream were false. She was just jealous of Sisi's excellence, so she made up these lies to frame Sisi!"

"Heh..." Qin Feihong laughed, "Framed? Strangled? Ding Fenglian, don't play dumb in front of me. The evidence Qin Song presented is solid and irrefutable; you can't possibly not see who's lying!"

"..."

Having said all that, Ding Fenglian no longer needed to act.

"...Of course I can tell." She lightly raised her eyes, looking at Qin Feihong with a half-smile. "But so what if I can tell? Sisi is our daughter, she's a member of the Qin family. If I don't comfort her, who else am I supposed to comfort? Qin Song?"

"You—" Qin Feihong raised his hand, pointing at Ding Fenglian with a mixture of anger and resentment, "You're utterly foolish!"

Ding Fenglian stared at him with wide eyes, her face full of resentment.

Qin Feihong: "Sisi is spoiled rotten by you! You indulge her, pamper her, and let her do so many wrong things! Now she's reaping the consequences of her actions, and you still try to deceive and cheat her. Do you think this is love? You're just hurting her!"

"I harmed her? Humph." Ding Fenglian rolled her eyes and sneered. "Qin Feihong, do you think I wanted to do this?"

"Things have escalated to this point, and the entire Yuncheng is waiting to see the Qin family make a fool of themselves! If I don't comfort and persuade Sisi, what else can I do? Push her out there and let her be ridiculed and beaten by everyone?"

"Qin Feihong, Sisi is a daughter of the Qin family. The more down and out she is, the more the Qin family will be looked down upon! For the sake of the Qin family's reputation and the Qin Corporation, I must support Sisi no matter what!"

"You're going to support her?" Qin Feihong found it amusing. "Qin Song's evidence is flying everywhere. What way do you have to support Sisi?"

Ding Fenglian: "If there's no other way, then we'll find one! Anyway, I will never let Sisi lose, and I will never let the Qin family lose!"

"Things have come to this point, and Qin Song can never return to the Qin family. The Qin family only has one daughter, Sisi, and I will never let her fall in front of Qin Song!"

"...I think you're just asking for trouble!" Qin Feihong cursed angrily, then turned and left.

"I'm courting death?" Ding Fenglian didn't like hearing that and immediately chased after him angrily. "Qin Feihong, what makes you think I'm courting death?"

Qin Feihong: "Because you've spoiled the children rotten! Wushuang has become strangely temperamental because of your spoiled children, and Sisi has become completely out of control! The fact that the two children are in this state is all thanks to you!"

"The only one who was somewhat normal was kicked out by you in a fit of madness! Not only do you not reflect on your mistakes, but you continue to make one mistake after another. Isn't this courting death?"

"I...you're saying this is all my fault?!" Qin Feihong's words almost made Ding Fenglian explode with anger.

"Qin Feihong, what right do you have to talk to me like that? All you do is run around to the company all day long. How many times have you taken care of your two children? You haven't even attended their parent-teacher conferences!"

"You surnamed Qin, you are the most shameless person in the world to curse me!"
