Li Xue hated herself for not being able to let Tang Yiyi suffer.
After a period of internal struggle, Li Xue weighed the pros and cons and reluctantly lowered her hands.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Gritting her teeth, she said unwillingly, "Tang Zhongcheng, I am Yiyi's biological mother. You can't just watch me go to jail. You have to save me."
"A person's tolerance has its limits. If I keep going to jail and you don't come to save me, one day I won't be able to bear it anymore, and I will really tell Zhang Meiyu everything. I mean what I say."
Seeing that Li Xue was willing to listen, Tang Zhongcheng also tried to persuade her kindly. "I understand. After all, you are Yiyi's mother. For Yiyi's sake, I won't let you stay in jail forever. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Li Xue herself saw very clearly what kind of person Tang Zhongcheng was. This man was a complete scumbag. Under Tang Zhongcheng's threats and inducements, Li Xue compromised and had to accept Zhang Meiyu's revenge. Zhang Meiyu's legal team was formidable, and Li Xue was ultimately sentenced to eleven years in prison. The money in Li Xue's bank card was also forcibly seized by the court to be returned to the Tang family.
...
Tang Yiyi went to school as usual. To mend the rift that had occurred at the martial arts gym, Tang Yiyi specifically asked her second brother to write his autograph for everyone.
"Lili, Shuya, Keke, this is an album with my second brother Tang Ye's autograph. It's for you," Tang Yiyi said ingratiatingly. Before the incident on the ring, her sisters had begged Tang Yiyi countless times for Tang Ye's autograph. Now that something had happened, she was giving them signed albums. This showed that Tang Yiyi could have gotten them earlier but deliberately held back. Such a scheming person was annoying.
Qian Lili, in particular, grew to hate Tang Yiyi when she later heard that Tang Yiyi had watched Liu Feng's hand being chopped off without intervening. If it were her, she would have undoubtedly knelt down without hesitation to save Liu Feng's hand.
Qian Lili glanced coldly at Tang Yiyi, "Tang Yiyi, you truly disgust me."
Shuya and Lin Keke also wore indifferent expressions and showed no intention of accepting the autographed albums. Tang Yiyi said pitifully, "I know you are angry about what happened at the martial arts gym that day. It was all Tang Xiaomin's scheme to deliberately insult me. If I could have a chance to do it again, even if Tang Xiaomin deliberately humiliated me, I would have knelt down without hesitation for Young Master Feng's hand. I truly know I was wrong, please forgive me just this once, and don't fall into Tang Xiaomin's trap, thus damaging our sisterly affection."
Tang Yiyi's words were more eloquent than any song, but when so many people had shouted for her to kneel and worried for her, she hadn't. Now she was trying to backtrack, and any intelligent person wouldn't believe it. A person's true nature is only revealed when they are pushed to their limit. And Tang Yiyi's true nature was heartless and unjust.
Upon hearing this, Qian Lili became furious. She violently slapped the four albums from Tang Yiyi's hands and roared in anger, "Tang Yiyi, do you think you're so smart? Do you think everyone has to revolve around this insincere person? Take away your pretense. I, Qian Lili, don't care for it."
As Tang Yiyi stared blankly, Qian Lili walked away. Shuya and Lin Keke also left without a word, following closely behind. The former "Four Golden Flowers" had kicked Tang Yiyi out, leaving only three. Tang Yiyi had never been shunned by them all at once, and she felt very uneasy. All of this, she blamed on Tang Xiaomin. When she found an opportunity, she would definitely teach Tang Xiaomin a lesson.
However, before Tang Yiyi could find an opportunity, her retribution arrived. Tang Yiyi went to the storage room to open her locker to get her things to go home. The moment the locker opened, a red card with the letter 'F' on it suddenly appeared in her locker. Tang Yiyi's eyes widened, and she stared at the scene in disbelief. The people around also noticed the red card in Tang Yiyi's locker. They didn't show her any mercy just because she was the chosen campus belle.
*Snap!*
*Snap!*
*Snap!*
...
The surrounding people took out their phones and took countless photos, posting the news of Tang Yiyi receiving a red card from F2 to the group chat. Soon, everyone knew about it. After a moment of panic, Tang Yiyi stuffed the red card back into her locker and was about to leave with her bag. Suddenly, a man ran over and bumped into her, knocking off one of her shoes. Everyone started kicking Tang Yiyi's shoe further away. The people around were also jeering and watching her with schadenfreude.
With her shoe gone, Tang Yiyi had no choice but to chase after it. With one foot on the ground, she ungracefully chased after her shoe. "Hey, give me back my shoe! Stop!" The person ran intermittently, making sure Tang Yiyi couldn't keep up. As she was running, a basin of water was suddenly poured down from above, drenching Tang Yiyi.
"Hahaha..." Several arrogant laughs echoed from upstairs. Before they could see who it was, they ran off. The people around laughed at Tang Yiyi, who was drenched like a drowned rat, and took out their phones to take pictures of her and send them to the group chat for everyone's amusement. Tang Yiyi wiped the water from her face, her eyes turning red with anger on the spot. However, they still refused to return her shoe and were playing with it. The red card game wasn't over so easily.
To avoid being further humiliated by everyone, Tang Yiyi ran away frantically, trying to escape their pursuit. She ran all the way to the corridor of the teaching building and hid in a stall in the restroom. After hiding for a short while, used toilet paper was dumped from the next stall, falling onto Tang Yiyi's head.
*Hehehe...*
More laughter. She had been discovered. No matter how strong Tang Yiyi tried to be, being bullied by so many people at once made her fragile heart break. She could no longer hold back her tears and ran out of the stall. As she ran, those who saw her laughed. Some people were even chasing her. "She's heading for the exit. Tell the people at the gate to get ready to strip her clothes, hee hee," someone said with a giggle.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi, who had intended to run out of the school, completely lost her nerve. She had to change her plan and ran towards the library. There were fewer people in the library, and she hid under a bookshelf while no one saw her, trembling. Hugging her knees, she stifled her sobs, afraid of being discovered. She was now like a street rat, hated by everyone. She couldn't understand why they were giving her a red card when she was the campus belle and Liu Feng liked her so much. Everyone used to like her. But after the martial arts gym incident and Tang Xiaomin's fuss, everything had changed. What had she done wrong?
In a corner of the library, a few boys greeted Tang Xiaomin. "Tang Xiaomin, it's getting late. Shall we go home together?" "You guys go ahead. I still have some writing to do," Tang Xiaomin replied.
