Chapter 1528 An Unexpected Visitor

"Are you Tong Xiaoya?"

Standing before Tong Xiaoya was a group of people.

To be precise, it was a few women who had stepped out of four sedans, surrounded by bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses.

Clearly, this group was no ordinary lot, since not many people could drive into the Central Academy of Drama campus so brazenly.

The one questioning Tong Xiaoya was a woman with a big belly, her face obscured by black sunglasses. She seemed to be the highest-ranking among them, as the others all clustered around her.

"I am." Tong Xiaoya was a bit bewildered and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Us?"

A slight curve appeared at the corner of the pregnant woman's mouth: "You can think of us as the groom's family."

"What?"

Tong Xiaoya was dumbfounded. What did she mean by the groom's family?

"Ahem, so, you're Xiao Tong, right? I heard people close to you call you Yaya, is that true?" At this, the intellectual-looking woman standing beside the pregnant woman spoke slowly.

"Ah, yes." Perhaps because the other's smile was very warm, Tong Xiaoya inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

"Don't be afraid, we mean no harm." The intellectual woman said to Tong Xiaoya with a smile, "My surname is Zheng, you can call me Sister Zheng."

As she spoke, she pointed to the pregnant woman: "Her surname is Fan, she's your senior."

Then she pointed to the two people beside her: "These two, one surnamed Dong, the other Bai. They're both older than you, it's no shame to call them sister."

Tong Xiaoya was completely baffled, having no idea what was going on.

Out of nowhere, these women had come looking for her, and clearly, they were of extraordinary background.

Just from their bearing, Tong Xiaoya felt that Sister Zheng before her had more presence than the department head at school.

Moreover, she felt that Sister Fan looked somewhat familiar.

"This isn't a good place to talk. How about we go somewhere else?" Sister Zheng said with a slight smile to Tong Xiaoya.

Tong Xiaoya thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."

"Xiaoya!"

Han Wenqing and Tan Lu were startled, looking at Tong Xiaoya in surprise, thinking she must be crazy. These people were clearly no simple characters and of unknown origin, and she was just going to leave with them? What if something happened?

The woman calling herself Zheng chuckled and said to Han Wenqing and Tan Lu, "Please rest assured, we just want to have a few words with Yaya, we'll be done soon."

"But you..." Tan Lu frowned slightly, clearly still uneasy.

"What deep sisterly affection."

At that, the woman surnamed Dong laughed and said, "When I was in school, why didn't I have friends like that?"

"Dong Chenxi, shut up!"

The pregnant woman said bluntly, "I heard from my husband that when you jumped off the building back then, someone was with you."

Huh?

Everyone who heard this was stunned. Even the bodyguards nearby had very strange expressions; they never expected that Miss Dong, the formidable businesswoman who had the final say in the company and was renowned in the domestic investment world, had such a dark past.

"Fan! If you weren't pregnant, I'd fight you!" Dong Chenxi's eyes instantly widened, her previous strong-woman aura crumbling. She now wished she could kick that crazy woman Fan Baobao away; she really dared to say anything, not caring where they were.

That's right!

The grand procession was naturally the gossip quartet led by Fan Baobao.

The blame for this incident lay with Zhao Fusheng, who had called Ye Jing to look up Tong Xiaoya's information and, if possible, give her some appropriate help.

Originally, this was nothing—with Ye Jing's connections and Future Films' channels, investigating an unknown female student still in school was a trivial matter.

In fact, it didn't take long for the information to be relayed back to Ye Jing.

The trouble was that Ye Jing received this news while in a meeting at the group headquarters.

And then, the outcome was self-evident.

Dong Chenxi, Zheng Yao, and Bai Jie—their curiosity was piqued to the highest level. They called up Fan Baobao, who had nothing to do at home, and the women brought bodyguards and charged straight to the Central Academy of Drama.

Thus, the scene Tong Xiaoya witnessed!

But the problem was that Tong Xiaoya didn't know Fan Baobao and the others at all, nor did she know why they had come. Connecting it to recent events, she was prepared to confront them with a death wish.

It was no exaggeration to say that Tong Xiaoya was already furious. Although she couldn't figure out their game, she felt that these people were most likely sent by that Wang Jie; otherwise, how would they have found her dorm directly?

"Alright, you two, stop messing around."

As the oldest among them, Zheng Yao was undoubtedly more authoritative. She stopped Fan Baobao and Dong Chenxi and smiled at Tong Xiaoya: "Yaya, rest assured, we're not bad people. We came to see you today just to have a chat."

"Let's go."

Although Zheng Yao's words were kind, Tong Xiaoya had already prejudged them as Wang Jie's emissaries and naturally didn't believe her.

The only reason she hadn't turned hostile was that she didn't want to make a scene in front of the dormitory, as people had already started whispering about the situation.

"Alright, let's go."

Zheng Yao smiled and was about to pull Tong Xiaoya into the car when Fan Baobao spoke up: "I haven't been back in a long time. How about we walk?"

The others were taken aback but eventually nodded. Zheng Yao said to Tong Xiaoya with a smile, "Then let's walk and talk?"

Tong Xiaoya shrugged indifferently: "Fine."

She was ready to throw caution to the wind, whatever happened, happened.

At worst, she would drop out and go home!

With the mood of a warrior heading into battle, the middle-school-girl Tong Xiaoya walked toward the campus exit.

She felt that perhaps after tomorrow, she would have to leave her beloved school.

Watching the group leave, Han Wenqing and Tan Lu exchanged glances.

"What do we do?"

"Go find the counselor!"

The two girls made what they thought was the best decision in the shortest time and rushed to the counselor's office, believing it was the only way.

...

...

"Yaya, where are you from?"

Walking on the school path, Fan Baobao and Dong Chenxi gathered around Tong Xiaoya, asking curiously.

"Border region." Tong Xiaoya found it strange that they were so nice, but she remained highly alert and answered concisely.

The women exchanged glances. Though they didn't understand why, they attributed it to her being frightened, as the earlier scene had indeed been somewhat overwhelming.

"By the way, when you met that guy, what did you think of him? Any impressions?" Dong Chenxi shot a glance at her friends, who were asking irrelevant questions, and asked Tong Xiaoya.

In her view, this was the key point.

The questions Fan Baobao asked were nonsense; things you could see from the records didn't need asking.

If you're going to ask, ask sharp questions!

That was the experience Dong Chenxi, as a "negotiation expert," had summed up after long practice.

Little did she know, her words instantly brought back memories of that nightmare-like night for Tong Xiaoya, whose face suddenly turned pale.

"Ha, unforgettable! I'll probably never forget him for the rest of my life." Tong Xiaoya almost gritted her teeth as she said this.

Zheng Yao and the others were startled, finding it strange.

But on second thought, they understood. After all, under those circumstances, losing her virginity to Tan Kaixuan was not a pleasant memory for any woman.

Even if it was a case of a hero saving a beauty, the problem was that she had been drugged.

"Well, actually, some things are fate." The women exchanged looks, and finally Zheng Yao spoke awkwardly: "We've known that kid for so many years, and this is the first time we've seen him like this."

She meant well, but to Tong Xiaoya's ears, it sounded so jarring.

These people had come to humiliate her!

Didn't they have any sympathy?

Tong Xiaoya thought bitterly.

Then she looked at Zheng Yao: "Miss Zheng, don't you think your behavior now is very inappropriate?"

The women immediately felt awkward. They knew that barging in like this was indeed very inappropriate. Now that Tong Xiaoya had pointed it out, even Fan Baobao felt embarrassed.

Bai Jie, who had been mostly silent, seeing that Zheng Yao and Dong Chenxi were at a loss for words and Fan Baobao wasn't speaking, shook her head helplessly and said, "Um, Yaya, we actually don't mean anything else. We just want to ask, what are your thoughts? Have you ever considered being his girlfriend?"

Girlfriend!

Tong Xiaoya's eyes widened instantly. She felt she had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

That bastard Wang Jie actually wanted her to be his girlfriend!

Who did he think he was!

If before that, Tong Xiaoya still harbored some illusions about these women, after Bai Jie said that, she was completely disillusioned.

These people were no good either!

Taking a deep breath, Tong Xiaoya's gaze swept over the women. Although she was puzzled when she saw Fan Baobao's big belly—why would someone about to give birth wade into this mess?—she still gritted her teeth, ready to give them a piece of her mind.

Even if she would be blacklisted next, even if they had a large group of bodyguards and outnumbered her, she would speak her mind.

But just then, three sedans pulled up not far away. The cars stopped, and a person stepped out, making Tong Xiaoya freeze instantly.
