Chapter 76: Chapter 76 To Hell with Good Friends Chapter 76: Chapter 76 To Hell with Good Friends Mother Yu’s hair bun was disheveled. Having been a wealthy lady for so many years, with her husband being an executive at the bank, everyone spoke to her with flattery. When had she ever suffered such an insult?
Hearing her daughter’s nearly accusatory voice, Mother Yu restrained her anger and said, “I didn’t know before that you were bullied by your roommates at school, that they slandered and falsely accused you which led to the police arresting you, preventing you from performing in the musical, and that they instigated conflicts between you and your classmates. You couldn’t guard against such insidious people, but I can’t let you suffer this humiliation!”
“I haven’t been humiliated.” Yu Sui’s face flushed with embarrassment in front of so many people. “Who told you all this? I’m fine at school, there’s nothing wrong.”
But Mother Yu pointed at Tang Li and accused vehemently, “She even wanted to hit me; are you saying she didn’t lay a hand on you? Your uncle is a leader at the school, what are you afraid of her for?”
“What are you even talking about? I really wasn’t bullied!” Fearing her mother would make more of a scene, Yu Sui had no choice but to explain, “It was Tang Li who messaged me, telling me you were at the school in the classroom. With you , how can I continue studying here?!”
“She’s that kind-hearted? Tell me, did she threaten you again?”
After asking that, Mother Yu was even less willing to let the matter rest: “I didn’t give birth to you just to be bullied by others. This is already school bullying! If the school doesn’t take action, we’ll report to the Education Bureau, and if they don’t care, we’ll take it to a higher level! I refuse to believe these little thugs can have their way!”
Tang Li, who had not spoken much, finally spotted the quietly arriving figure outside the classroom.
Though the other party had intentionally hidden in the crowd, Tang Li had anticipated her arrival.
A trap set by oneself must at least be checked for the results.
Thus, upon spotting her, Tang Li was not surprised, but instead immediately headed for the classroom door.
Jiang Yiniing saw Tang Li suddenly heading over and knew it was too late to slip away.
Her right leg was injured; she couldn’t run fast.
She had just turned when someone touched her shoulder!
“Why rush away after coming here?” Tang Li’s voice came from behind.
Jiang Yiniing had no choice but to turn around, her face full of worry: “Ah Li, I’ll go call the counselor first. Auntie is so angry, something bad must have happened. At times , it’s more appropriate for the school leaders to step in.”
“Really?” Tang Li’s hand didn’t let go.
Jiang Yiniing spoke softly: “Auntie, too, really shouldn’t be acting . We are all classmates; creating such a scene will make it awkward for everyone when we meet in class later.”
The onlooking classmates nodded in agreement.
Yes, after such a scene, even if it was a misunderstanding, it could turn into enmity.
Look at the state both parties are in!
“You and Yu Sui are usually so close. Now that her mother thinks I’ve bullied her, the counselor will probably come by herself soon. Better you come in and help me persuade Mother Yu,” Tang Li said, trying to pull Jiang Yiniing into the classroom.
Jiang Yiniing’s face changed drastically, one hand grasping the door frame: “Suisui and I had a little disagreement yesterday, so I’d rather not go in!”
Tang Li looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, then turned to call inside: “Whether I bullied Yu Sui or not, her good friend Yiniing can testify, as she’s already here.”
At once, everyone in the classroom turned their heads.
Damn it, to hell with being good friends.
