After Liang Lu left, Zhao Ru finally dared to speak loudly, âJingjing, those from the Tao family are disgusting. How could they switch you and Tan Rou for their own selfishness? Tan Rou has enjoyed seventeen years of glory and wealth that should have been yours.â
He Ling, who rarely spoke, also felt sad for Tan Jing, âJingjing, your life has been
miserable! You could have lived happily with your parents, but you were sent to a small place to live a hard life. What is the economic level of the Tao family?! You must have suffered.â
After speaking, she burst into tears.
âXiaoru, Lingling, stop talking.â Tan Jing lowered her head, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, âThey are my foster parents after all and they have raised me for seventeen years no matter what. I donât want to blame them.â
âJingjing, donât be kind anymore!â
Zhao Ru deliberately said loudly for Tan Rou to hear, âYou treat them as your parents, but they are trying their best to hurt you. If 1 were you, 1 would never be able to accept this!â
âStop it. 1 really donât want to blame them anymore. Now that Iâm back with my parents, Iâm doing well.â
Tan Jing raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying for a long time.
Their conversation sparked discussion among the rest of the class.
âHey, do you think that Tan Jingâs mother gave sleeping pills to Tan Rou when she was a child because she realised that Tan Rou was not their daughter?â
âIt must be so, otherwise, how could any mother give sleeping pills to her own daughter? I think it must be Tan Jingâs mother who found out that her daughter was missing and couldnât find her, so she took her anger out on Tan Rou.â
âThereâs no need to speak for Tan Jingâs mother like this, right? Whether itâs her daughter or not, itâs still disgraceful to give sleeping pills to a baby that is only several months old.â
âIsnât Tan Rou there? Why donât we go and ask her directly?â
Then, a group of people flocked to Tan Rou, asking her what was going on? Is it true what is said on the Internet?
âDo you think itâs true?â Tan Rou raised her head and glanced at them. Everyone was panicking.
One of the girls plucked up the courage and said, âWe just want to ask you if that incident is true. You donât need to be so fierce.â
Tan Rou leaned on the chair with folded arms and asked, âIs this matter related to you?â
A group of people looked at each other, âWe⦠we are asking for the victim.â âThe victim?â Tan Rou glanced at Tan Jing, âAre you talking about Tan Jing?â She asked, âTan Jing, are you the one who hired these people to question me?â Tan Jing sobbed and said, âXiao Rou, they are just a little angry. Donât be angry at them.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWell, what exactly do you want to know?â Tan Rou turned around and asked. âWe just want to know if your father switched you with Tan Jing?â the girl asked.
Tan Rou recognized that this girl was also one of the girls who had a good time with Tan Rou before, but she stayed away from Tan Jing after something happened to Tan Jing. Unexpectedly, this girl was a fool. She will fall wherever the wind blows.
âI said this is a lie, but you donât believe it, and I canât give you the answer you want, so why ask again?â Tan Rou said.
âYouâ¦.!!!â
âThatâs enough!â Xu Yan walked in from the door, âWhat are you arguing about here so early in the morning?â
The group of people asked, âMonitor! Havenât you seen the video on the
Internet?â
âSo what?â Xu Yan scolded, âYou are all high school seniors, do you think you are three-year-olds? Believing what others say? Besides, Tan Rou was still a baby at that time, what could she know? If you have any questions, just ask the nurse.â
âThe monitor is right.â Some students said.
Xu Yan continued, âThe bell for the morning self-study has already went off. Hurry up and go back to your seats. The teacher will be here in a while. Donât make any more noise.â
Everyone went back to their seats, ready to start an early self-study session.
Zhao Ru stood up suddenly, and imitated Song Linâs stance when he challenged Tan Rou, and shouted, âTan Rou, you owe Jingjing an apology!â
Tan Rou subconsciously asked, âWhy?â
Zhao Ru said: âYour father did something wrong. You should apologize on his behalf. Jingjing has already forgiven your parents. Shouldnât you apologize to Jingjing for them?â
Tan Rou just thought it was funny. Back then, it was Zhao Ru who clamored that âWhat parents do has nothing to do with their childrenâ.. How long has it been that she forgot everything?
