When Jiang Shuyu heard that she had to apologize to Xiao Lingye in front of all the teachers and students in the school, the fire in her heart immediately flared up again.
She roared loudly, “You keep saying that I used Su Yang and Qiao Ruoyang to frame Xiao Lingye, but you can’t prove it with your words. Show me your evidence. Otherwise, I won’t apologize to him, not even in private!” She pointed at Xiao Lingye.
The reason why she was indignant was that she was sure that there was no evidence. Su Yang was dead, and Qiao Ruoyang and the others had gone abroad. There was no evidence to prove that she had done anything.
Therefore, she was not afraid at all.
“It seems that Miss Jiang still hasn’t given up.” Gong Tianhao sneered and said, “Alright then. We’ll abide by your wish.”
Mr. Jiang’s forehead broke out in cold sweat again.
At this moment, he really wanted to cut open his daughter’s head to see why she was so dumb.
Mr. Jiang said embarrassedly, “Mr. Gong, don’t be angry!”
Gong Tianhao waved his hand and shook his head, “Mr. Jiang, I’m not angry. In fact, I agree with Miss Jiang. After all, she did say there’s no evidence that she seduced those people to frame my brother-in-law. She wouldn’t be convinced if there was no concrete evidence. So I’ll try to convince her!” After saying that, he called out to a person, “Go and get the evidence. Since people don’t want face, we don’t need to help them keep it.”
The subordinate immediately replied, “Yes, Boss!”
Then, he turned around and left.
When Jiang Shuyu heard that, her entire heart was immediately on edge. She was flustered and uneasy.
She knew very well what she had done in the past.
If Gong Tianhao really brought out the evidence, then she…
Jiang Shuyu did not dare to imagine the consequences.
She secretly regretted it. However, it was too late for regret now. Gong Tianhao wouldn’t take back his words.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang obviously knew what Jiang Shuyu had done to frame Xiao Lingye. It was them who had secretly settled the matter back then. Otherwise, how could those people have left the country peacefully?
Now…
The couple looked at each other. They could see the worry and panic in each other’s eyes.
For the sake of Jiang Shuyu’s remaining reputation, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to do this. She pulled Jiang Shuyu to Xiao Lingye and said fiercely, “Kneel down and apologize to student Xiao. Tell him that you’re sorry and ask him to forgive you!”
Everyone was confused by madam Jiang’s sudden action. Only Gong Tianhao and the others understood.
However, Jiang Shuyu was obviously unwilling to kneel down to Xiao Lingye.
Xiao Lingye quickly avoided them and asked calmly, “Madam Jiang, what are you doing? Kneeling? It has been a hundred years since the Qing dynasty.”
Xiao Letong pursed his lips and said, “Grandma, are you trying to gather public pity to claim the moral high ground so that we can forgive you?”
That was indeed her goal.
After being exposed by a child, Madam Jiang’s face could not help but turn red. She then defended herself, “No. It’s just that, you… you want our sincere apology. So, kneeling is the mostsincere apology.”
Xiao Letong snorted coldly and said, “Does kneeling down and apologizing mean that you’re sincere? But Madam Jiang, kneeling to an elder is a sign of respect but kneeling to one’s peer when not asked for is cursing them. Don’t tell me you don’t know this etiquette?”
“Huh?” Madam Jiang was stunned.
