Shen Weiyi said indifferently, "I think the tutor’s words are wrong. I am not the one who has broken the law. I am merely using legal measures to protect my own rights. If the school is tarnished because of this, it’s not because of me. Besides, what does a student’s mistake have to do with the school? If anything, it’s the school that tarnishes its own name by blindly protecting students who make mistakes."
Gu Lifang was so choked up that she couldn’t speak and simply stared daggers at Shen Weiyi.
It was clear how unsatisfied she was with her.
"Officers, we won’t pursue this matter any further." Just then, a figure strode in from outside.
He spoke up to withdraw the case on behalf of Shen Weiyi.
Ye Yao’s eyes lit up when she saw the newcomer and then she tilted up her chin, giving Shen Weiyi a challenging look.
However, Shen Weiyi looked at the newcomer with a trace of coldness in her eyes.
These days, it seemed anyone wanted to make decisions for her, not considering whether they were actually qualified to do so.
The investigating officer looked suspiciously at the man who appeared halfway through.
Probably in his twenties, with a slick appearance, he exuded arrogance.
But since he said "we," he must be a relative of the complainant.
The man glanced in Shen Weiyi’s direction and said, "I’m her cousin. We’re all family here; this is just a misunderstanding. Shen Weiyi, hurry up and tell the officers that you won’t pursue this matter, will you?"
Shen Weiyi didn’t even bother to give him an extra glance and directly addressed the investigating officer, "Comrade officer, my position remains the same. I do not agree to a settlement. I request to protect my legal rights through legal channels."
The investigating officer glanced in the man’s direction and then at Shen Weiyi and said, "Very well, if that’s the case, then please to the Police Station," he said, looking towards Ye Yao’s direction.
Ye Yao’s face, which was originally smug, instantly stiffened. She hurriedly tugged at Shen Zhe’s sleeve, motioning for him to deal with that annoying girl quickly.
Not expecting that girl to dare ignore her and embarrass her, Shen Zhe jumped to his feet, pointed at her, and shouted, "Shen Weiyi, have you gone mad? Over such a trivial matter, you want to make a scene at the police station? You might not be embarrassed, but the Shen Family is."
When Shen Weiyi heard him bring up the Shen Family, she didn’t even bat an eyelid and said, "First, the Shen Family has never formally acknowledged me, so my actions should have nothing to do with the Shen Family. Second, my dad has always taught me to speak out if I feel wronged; suffering in silence only leads to others taking further advantage of me. My dad doesn’t think I am embarrassing, so nobody else is qualified to say anything. Moreover, I don’t think there’s anything embarrassing about what I am doing. Furthermore, we live in a society ruled by law, and those who break the law must face the legal consequences."
Shen Zhe instinctively wanted to fly off the handle again but, meeting the officer’s gaze beside him and fearing that things might become even more rigid, he held back and thought to himself that he would deal with that annoying girl later. "Yao Yao is my girlfriend and will be your cousin-in-law in the future. We are all family, why make such a big scene? I will explain things to your uncle; let’s just say this time your brother owes you a favor. Just tell the police that we’ll let this matter rest."
Shen Weiyi replied, "Sorry, it won’t rest."
This person still hadn’t realized his place, thinking she would listen just because he spoke.
