After Huang Xiang retreated several steps to stand beside her husband, she clutched her wrist and confidently said, “Teacher, aren’t you meddling too much in how I discipline my daughter? She did something wrong, and it’s only right for me to teach her a lesson!”
Wu Rong had just been at the police station with the school staff, and they assumed Wu Rong was either Rao Jie’s teacher or possibly her homeroom teacher. In any case, they were not very clear about Rao Jie’s situation.
“What are you doing? Your daughter is in this state, and you still lay a hand on her? Are you afraid she hasn’t suffered enough?” Rao Gang reacted quickly, not expecting Huang Xiang to directly strike Rao Jie. He was furious and rushed to intervene.
Huang Xiang felt humiliated by her husband’s reprimand in front of everyone. She immediately shouted, “You’re siding with that ungrateful girl! Look at the trouble she’s caused! I thought she was capable of being independent, but look at her tangled up in a messy love triangle! Haven’t you heard? She’s the Mistress! Almost got someone killed; it’s all her own doing!”
Rao Jie’s eyes turned red upon hearing her mother speak like that about her. With a choked voice, she asked, “Mom, what… what are you saying about me?”
Seeing Rao Jie like this made Rao Gang’s heart ache. He turned to Huang Xiang and said, “Enough! You believe those people who are just angry and spouting nonsense? Their daughter is a lunatic; why don’t you trust your own daughter’s character instead of believing the slander from outsiders? I know that guy; he used to be Rao Jie’s boyfriend. If anyone stole someone away, it was him who stole from Rao Jie!”
Huang Xiang was momentarily speechless, both angry and frustrated. She turned back to point at Rao Jie and demanded, “You better explain yourself clearly! What exactly have you done? It doesn’t make sense that only you are suffering like this! You’ve embarrassed me completely!”
Rao Jie looked at Huang Xiang, struggling to hold back tears in front of everyone. Her eyes were already red and filled with hurt. Not wanting to look at her mother anymore, she shifted her gaze and spotted Wu Rong’s tall and sturdy figure.
At that moment, Wu Rong suddenly stepped forward.
Rao Jie felt a jolt of alarm.
Wu Xin quickly stepped in front of Wu Rong and said to Huang Xiang, “Auntie, you can’t say that. From start to finish, Rao Jie has been innocent in this situation. She encountered a scumbag and a crazy woman; it’s just bad luck for her. As parents, shouldn’t you be comforting your unfortunate daughter instead of scolding her? Does that make any sense?”
Long Yong also stepped forward and added, “Auntie, we can all testify for Rao Jie. She has been completely innocent and has been entangled by those two people. During this time, Rao Jie has been focused on preparing for her graduate exams and hasn’t stirred up any trouble.”
Wei Qian chimed in as well, “Bao Ming and Rao Jie were originally dating, but Jiang Chuchu seduced Bao Ming behind Rao Jie’s back. Bao Ming cheated on Rao Jie with Jiang Chuchu. When Rao Jie found out, she immediately severed ties with both of them. It was Bao Ming who couldn’t let go and wanted to have both sides that led to this mess. Jiang Chuchu is mentally unstable and pushed Rao Jie into danger; if it weren’t for Professor Wu discovering it in time to save her, Rao Jie could have been seriously harmed.”
Wu Xin scoffed and said, “If I were their parents and faced such a situation, I wouldn’t wait for anyone to ask me; I would have torn those two scoundrels apart right there at the police station and cursed their parents along with them!”
