220 220 Reject moral kidnapping
Xu Yan then looked at He Ling and Zhao Ru. âFirst, it was Wei Ling. Now, itâs Li Jia. Those who are close to Tan Jing all got into trouble, but nothing happened to her. Donât you think itâs strange?â
He Ling and Zhao Ru looked at each other and muttered in their hearts.
âClass monitor, you shouldnât spout nonsense,â Tan Jing quickly retaliate.
Xu Yan ignored her. âBe careful, dear classmates!â
He quietly put the blame back on Tan Jing again. This was what she deserved.
As soon as he said that, the class suddenly became lively.
âHe has a point! Look at Wei Ling and Li Jia. They were both close with Tan Jing!â
âOh my God, then I have to stay away from her. In case she throws me under the bus without me knowing!â
Some of them even advised He Ling and Zhao Ru, âWell, you shouldnât be standing up for Li Jia. If you have the time, you should run for your life by now.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Jing saw that the situation was one-sided and quickly tried to save her image. âItâs all my fault. I didnât stop them from making those mistakes. You can scold me all you want.â
Seeing her like this, He Ling and Zhao Ruâs doubts disappeared. The two of them chose to close their eyes and believe Tan Jing.
âJingjing, donât be sad. We believe in you.â He Ling reassured her.
âItâs Wei Ling and Li Jiaâs fault! Itâs not yours.â Zhao Ru comforted her.
Tan Jingâs eyes were red from crying. âIf I had realized that something was wrong with them earlier, I wouldnât have let them take the wrong path.
âDid they take the wrong path or did you put them there?â Tan Rou coldly said.
Before Tan Jing could say anything, He Ling and Zhao Ru, who were defending Tan Jing, attacked first.
âTan Rou, donât go too far with this. Itâs fine if youâre unwilling to have mercy on your classmate but now youâre trying to frame Jingjing. Are you even human?â He Ling cursed.
âYou guys must be mistaken.â Tan Rou frowned. âIâm the one who was bullied on the internet. The person who slandered me was Li Jia. As the victim, canât I ask for justice?â
âBut, Jiajia already knows her mistake and look at you, youâre fine!â Zhao Tu emphasized.
âIf it wasnât because I was mentally strong, the grass on my grave would have grown out by now.â Tan Rouâs eyes were cold.
âI will definitely sue Li Jia. Not just her, but everyone who spreads rumors on the internet will pay the price. Not a single one of them will be spared.â
âReject moral kidnapping!â Li Li crossed her arms. âPlease, what did Li Jia give you? She has committed a crime and youâre still trying to clear her name? Are you the reincarnation of a cleaner?â
âThatâs right, Tan Rou is the victim. Is it popular now that the victim has to forgive the criminal?â The students who had misunderstood Tan Rou before were now on her side.
âYou guys, stop trying to use morality to kidnap Tan Rou. When she was being scolded, none of you said a word but now youâre speaking up for the criminal. How ridiculous.
âIf anyone wants to cause trouble, it should be Tan Rou whoâs looking for trouble with Li Jia. Your ability to make bogus accusations is a good match for Tan Jingâs ability to put blame on innocent people.â
Everyone chimed in one after another, shutting out the two of them. They had no choice but to give up and return to Tan Jingâs side.
Tan Jing didnât forget to end the fiasco with a âsaintfulâ speech. âXiao Rou, Iâm very happy to see that youâre fine. I apologize to you on behalf of Li Jia for slandering you. I hope you donât blame her for this. Li Jia is still young. If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined. I hope you can be magnanimous and let her get a lighter sentence.â
Then, she returned to her seat sadly. He Ling and Zhao Ru glared at tan Rou and followed Tan Jing back.
âIIs Jiajia really going to jail?â He Ling asked.
Tan Jing sniffled, wiped her tears and said sadly, âI will find the best lawyer and try to reduce Jiajiaâs sentence. Although she made a mistake, she is still my good friend. I canât just wait for her to get sentenced to such a huge crime!â
âWhat can we do for Jiajia?â He Ling asked.
The corners of Tan Jingâs lips curled up slightly as she said, âThe only thing we can do now is to help Jiajia take good care of her mother. Auntie lives alone, and sheâs not in good health. Why donât we take turns taking care of her and talk to her, so that she can feel that her daughter is still by her side?â
Both of them felt that this method was feasible. They decided that they would take care of Li Jiaâs mother and talk to her alongside Tan Jing.
