Other passing students all stopped in their tracks, curiously watching the scene unfold.
Shen Mianmian had entered the Third Middle School as the top student in the city, so many students recognized her. Seeing someone trying to hit her, some students prepared to help, while more were content to stand by and watch the drama.
Everyone was unsure of what was going on, they only knew someone wanted to hit her.
Seeing so many students watching, Shen Jianhua glared at his wife, "If you have something to say, say it when we get home. Why start a scene here?" He feared they would disturb the school’s teachers and principal, causing a whole lot of trouble.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lanfang was somewhat reluctant but didn’t continue to make a move. She said to Shen Mianmian, "Come, come back with us." The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Shen Mianmian looked at the two coldly, "That’s your home, not mine. If you want to go back, then go, but I won’t be going."
Hearing this, Shen Jianhua’s face darkened again, "Mianmian, this is your school. Making a scene looks bad and you lose face in front of your classmates. Don’t speak out of anger now. Just come back with us first, and we can talk about whatever it is at home."
"Once I go back, will I even be able to come out?" Shen Mianmian scoffed coldly, "I’ll never go back to that home that devours people without spitting out their bones."
"You ungrateful wretch, I give you face and you don’t want it. Are you looking for trouble, is that it?" Zhou Lanfang’s temper flared, and she didn’t care who was watching. She went to grab Shen Mianmian’s ear, but Shen Mianmian dodged nimbly again.
"Excuse us, please make way, make way."
Two men dressed in police uniforms made their way through the crowd.
The police came this quickly?
Taking another look at who had brought the police, Shen Mianmian’s eyes instantly lit up. No wonder the police arrived so fast, it turned out to be Brother He Nan who had brought them.
Her expression shifted from the previous coldness to one of hurt, and with reddened eyes, she ran and hid behind He Nan, peeking out her little head to the police and saying, "Police uncle, please save me."
Seeing Shen Mianmian’s scared and pitiful appearance, the police officers felt a swing of compassion. Then, looking at Shen Jianhua’s and Zhou Lanfang’s fierce expressions, their faces grew stern.
"We received a report that a student is being bullied here, what’s going on?"
Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang were completely taken aback by the sudden appearance of the police. Hearing the police officer’s question, Shen Jianhua was the first to come to his senses, "Officer, there has been a misunderstanding. No one is hitting or scolding the student. This is my daughter, and we came to take her home."
"Yes, yes, yes, as my conscience bears witness, officer, we really didn’t hit or scold the student." There’s a saying, ’A bully is always a coward at heart,’ and Zhou Lanfang, the bully, was afraid of those more formidable than herself, and she was also afraid of police.
She didn’t understand the law well, always feeling that the presence of police could lead to her arrest, which made her genuinely fearful.
Upon hearing this, the police officer turned to look at He Nan. The alert was his doing, and if things were as these two people claimed, then He Nan would be falsely reporting an incident.
"Officer, they really did want to hit me. There are so many students here, all watching," said Shen Mianmian pitifully to the police, her tears swirling in her eyes, looking very frightened.
Hearing her words, the surrounding students immediately spoke up, "Yeah, they were trying to hit her. We all saw it."
Seeing Zhou Lanfang’s fierce expression made the onlooking students somewhat afraid. Their thoughts were simple; each harbored a heart willing to do the right thing.
As students, they were obliged to tell the truth, and they had indeed seen the woman trying to hit Shen Mianmian.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Lanfang yelled at the surrounding students, "Who hit her? Are you all blind?"
By heaven and earth, her conscience was clear - although she had wanted to hit Shen Mianmian, not even a finger had touched her.
