Seeing that Xi Yan was silent, Liang Qingru scoffed confidently. “She put my son in the hospital which stopped him from taking the entrance exams. Do you think that Gu Mang going to jail would suffice for these losses? Your school, Ming City High School, is bad at supervising your students. You must all apologize to my son and compensate for all the losses!”
“That’s right! I want Gu Mang to head to the hospital and apologize to my son now!” Another parent snapped.
The lawyer took out another lawyer’s letter from his briefcase and smiled faintly. “Ms. Xi, this is for your school. I hope that the school will cooperate with us. A student like this is just problematic, isn’t it? Expel her ASAP. This way, when the court makes its final verdict, the reputation of Ming City High School will not be dragged down with her.”
Hearing that they wanted to escalate the matter, Xi Yan clenched her fist. They did not have any evidence that was of use to Gu Mang. If this matter was brought to court, Gu Mang was bound to be jailed. It was best if they handled this matter privately.
She slouched and the expression in her eyes was filled with pleas. She forced a smile on her face. “I know that the exams are important, but if the hospital is quick in the treatment process, they can still participate in it. Gu Mang is still a minor. Could everyone please show some mercy? We can discuss the compensation later.”
“If there’s anything you’d like to discuss, talk to my lawyer,” Liang Qingru said coldly. “Now, I want her to head to the hospital and apologize to my son!”
The lawyer passed the lawyer’s letter for Ming City High School to Xi Yan. “Ms. Xi, please hand this to your principal and act in accordance to my client’s request. Persuade your student to apologize.”
Xi Yan took the lawyer’s letter and lowered her voice. “I failed to teach my student well. I will go and apologize. I’m sorry. Please do not bring a lawsuit on Gu Mang.”
Gu Mang’s eyes darkened. The disagreement in her eyes was almost rushing out. She looked up in a gloomy manner and stared at them. Her eyes were bloodshot red. She exuded a stifling aura.
“Little Xi, what are you going to apologize for?” Gu Mang spoke up suddenly. The corner of her lips curled up in a sinister manner. She tilted her head and looked at them nonchalantly.
The other parents looked at Gu Mang in disgust.
Gu Mang smiled faintly and her raised eyebrow making her seem cold. Her eyes were piercing and sharp. She looked like an unruly youth. Her posture was full of cynicism.
Seeing that she did not have the slightest bit of remorse, Liang Qingru’s eyes turned red with anger. The other parents were also glaring at Gu Mang with hatred.
“Is Ms. Gu unaware of the crimes that she has committed?” The lawyer laughed. “Right, at this age her knowledge of the law is limited and it can’t be helped. Ms. Xi, please hand her the lawyer’s letter and let her know the crimes that she has committed and that she should go and apologize.”
Without waiting for Xi Yan to hand it to her, Gu Mang grabbed it from Xi Yan’s hand nonchalantly. She took it along with the letter for Ming City High School.
The lawyer waited for a while and ensured that she was done reading it. Then, in a condescending manner, he said, “Does Ms. Gu understand the crimes that you have committed?”
As he finished his sentence, his expression changed. He saw Gu Mang smiling. Her eyes were full of arrogance. Calmly, she tore the lawyer’s letter into small pieces. Everyone’s expression changed and they couldn’t believe it as they watched Gu Mang tear the paper up. They could not return to their senses for quite a while. She actually dared to tear up the lawyer’s letters?!
Gu Mang scoffed and threw the torn pieces of paper into the dustbin beside her in an apathetic manner. Her tone was cold and defiant. “What a nonsensical lawyer’s letter.”
It was as though she saw nothing worthwhile.
The lawyer’s face turned serious and tense. He had never met anyone who dared to tear up a lawyer’s letter in front of a lawyer!
“Ms. Gu, do you know that your actions can be held against you!” The lawyer clenched his teeth. It was a humiliation that he had never experienced before.
“Is it so?”
A cold and deep male voice was suddenly heard.
