With the support of so many friends, Liang Lu instantly had the courage to fight against them. These days, she had suffered from being looked down upon by others in school. Zhang Xue and the others kept calling her the daughter of a prostitute and even asked her to get out of school. The more Liang Lu heard, the sadder she felt.
She was like a bamboo raft floating in the sea. She was surrounded by the vast sea. She could not see land and did not know where she would stop. But now, a huge ship suddenly appeared behind her and protected her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThank you.â Liang Lu was very touched. âI wonât run away anymore. Iâll solve the problem that 1 should face.â
Zhang Xue begged for mercy. âLiang Lu, weâve known each other for so many years. Moreover, weâve been friends since we were young. You donât want to see me get arrested by the police, do you?â
âYou knew that weâve been friends for many years?â Liang Lu said coldly.
âThen how have you been treating me these past few days? Ever since 1 met you, youâve been talking about my mother and spreading rumors about me on the internet. Not only that, you even brought others to beat me. Do you think itâs possible for me to let you go now?â
Zhang Xue didnât want to be arrested by the police. She said to Liang Lu with tears and snot, âLiang Lu, 1 really didnât do it on purpose. 1 was angry at that time. Iâve thought it through now. 1 shouldnât have spread rumors about you, and I shouldnât have hit you. Can I apologize to you? Can we still be good friends?â
Liang Lu did not want to let Zhang Xue off just like that. Even if Zhang Xue was once a victim, she was not anymore. Liang Lu would never forgive her for insulting her deceased mother like that. âWe canât be friends anymore. We wonât even be friends anymore. You and 1 will be strangers from now on.â
Zhang Xue did not give up. She pleaded. âLiang Lu, I beg you, donât call the police! Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you?â
Before Liang Lu could speak, Tan Rou walked over and said, âIf you kneel down and apologize to Lulu, she might consider forgiving you.â
âWhat are you doing?â Zhang Xue was stunned. She then said angrily, âIâm talking to Liang Lu. Why are you interrupting?â
âDonât trust her so easily,â Tan Rou said softly as she patted Liang Luâs shoulder.
âYouâre right.â Liang Lu nodded and said to Zhang Xue, âJust like what she said, if you kneel down and apologize to my dead mother, I can choose to forgive you.â
Zhang Xue was furious when she heard that. âWhy should 1 apologize to that prostitute? You want me to kneel down? Dream on!â
âAs expected, youâre pretending. Since youâre not going to apologize, then go to the police station and apologize to the police.â Li Li pursed her lips.
âThere are so many of you bullying me. Arenât you shameless?â Zhang Xue said angrily.
âYou have the nerve to ask us if we have any shame?â Li Li looked at Zhang Xue up and down and said angrily, âWhy didnât you say that you were shameless when so many of you ganged up on Lulu?â
âHurry up and call the police,â Jiang Min said. âPeople like this should be handed over to the police. They should be properly educated.â
Zhang Xue did not want to be arrested at the police station. If they called the police, the police would definitely call her parents. If her mother found out that she was bullying her classmates at school, her mother would definitely beat her to death.
âLiang Lu, letâs talk things out. Donât call the police!â The counselor began to persuade Liang Lu because if Liang Lu called the police, this matter would definitely not be settled easily. Moreover, it would not be good for their school if the matter blew up.
Their school was a film school, and most of the students were art students. Many of them would enter the entertainment industry in the future. For example, Liang Luâs major in broadcasting would mean that she would enter the major satellite channels in the future to do radio programs or become a voice actor.
Tan Rou noticed the change in the counselorâs attitude.
âWhat do you think we should do?â
The counselor smiled and said, âHow about this? Iâll get Student Zhang Xue to write a letter of apology to Student Liang Lu and give her some compensation. Then, Iâll bring Liang Lu to the hospital to be treated. Our school will pay for the medical expenses. How about Student Liang Lu just recuperating in school quietly?â
Tan Rou smiled. âTeacher, to put it bluntly, Iâll beat you up right now and scold your entire family. Then, Iâll compensate you with some money.. What do you think?â
