Chapter 622 As long as you're pitiful enough

A few days later, Feng Jiao was discharged from the hospital.

Feng Nian waited anxiously for several days, but there seemed to be no movement from Qiao Xing's side.

He didn't know what method Zhao Ru had used, but for him, no news was the best news.

After being discharged from the hospital, Feng Jiao stayed in her room all day, refused to eat properly, and even stopped going to school.

Zhao Ru tried to persuade her many times, but she wouldn't listen at all.

Finally, Feng Nian couldn't take it anymore. He stormed into her room and roared, "You're going to keep arguing! Let's see how long you can keep it up! You're not going to school, huh? Fine, then you'll never go!"

Feng Jiao covered herself up tightly with the blanket, but when she heard Feng Nian scolding her, she quickly threw off the blanket and sat up.

"Why should I listen to you! You tell me to change schools and I'll change schools, you keep saying you're thinking of me and have my best interests at heart, but when I was stabbed, why didn't you say a word for me! Don't forget, I was the victim, if anyone should transfer, it should be her, why should I transfer!"

Since this incident, Feng Jiao's temper has become even worse.

She's only been home for less than two days, and she's already argued with Feng Nian at least three or four times.

Feng Nian was also angry. After all, he was Feng Jiao's father. How could he stand being scolded and pointed at by his own daughter like that?

Even now, at home.

"you!"

Feng Nian pointed at Feng Jiao, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, Zhao Ru came in and said to Feng Jiao, "Jiaojiao, if you don't want to transfer schools, we won't. But you can't skip school. You're still young. Are you going to go to work if you don't go to school?"

Feng Jiao snorted and pulled the blanket over herself again. "I said I'm not going, and I mean it! I'll only go back to school when you kick Lin Xi out!"

"Jiaojiao." Zhao Ru sighed helplessly; she really had no way to deal with this daughter.

When Feng Nian saw that he couldn't reason with her no matter what, all the anger he had just suppressed suddenly flared up again.

"I think your mother and I have spoiled you too much, which has made you so unruly. I'm asking you one last time! Are you going to school or not!"

The more he threatened Feng Jiao, the less afraid she became. Instead, she said, "If you have the guts, then beat me to death! Otherwise, just leave me alone. You've never cared about me anyway!"

"I!"

"Alright! Enough talk!"

Zhao Ru rudely interrupted Feng Nian and pushed him out of the room.

"She's already in a bad mood, and you're still pressuring her. What if she gets really anxious and something bad happens to her? What will you do then?"

Feng Nian's face flushed red with anger. "I think we've been spoiling her too much. Now that she's so willful, she'll be out of control in the future!"

Zhao Ru deliberately said sarcastically, "She's been spoiled since birth. It's not like you have time to discipline her. You think you bear no responsibility for how she's turned out this way?"

Feng Nian realized that she was deliberately trying to provoke him. He opened his mouth to say something, but after seeing Zhao Ru's expression, he swallowed his words.

He said helplessly, "Don't talk about this now. You should hurry up and think of a way to get Jiaojiao back to school. Do you really intend to let her stay at home forever?"

Zhao Ru said, "Let's wait a few more days. In her current state, even if she goes to school, I won't feel at ease. We finally managed to get Qiao Xing to agree. If we propose that they transfer schools now, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver in this matter."

Feng Jiao is the one who made a mistake. Even if the job is to be changed, it should be Feng Jiao, not Lin Xi.

If we suggest that Lin Xi transfer schools, wouldn't that mean that Lin Xi is the one who has to back down in this matter?

How could Qiao Xing allow such a thing to happen?

Feng Nian understood this principle well; what he feared most was that Qiao Xing would make those things public in a fit of anger.

So he agreed with Zhao Ru's words, "Yes, yes, I think we should try to persuade Jiao Jiao."

Feng Jiao's personality was naturally not easy to talk to.

She went home and made a scene for three days.

The point is to make Feng Nian and Zhao Ru confront Lin Xi. If they don't, she'll never go to school again.

No matter how patient Zhao Ru was, Feng Jiao wore her down completely.

But she couldn't lay a hand on Feng Jiao, so she could only suppress her anger and, unable to contain herself any longer, said to Feng Jiao, "Fine! You won't go, huh? Then you can stay at home for the rest of your life and be a coward! You can't even handle this little thing, and you want us to go find Lin Xi to settle scores for you? What do you want to settle? Settle how you bullied someone and then got stabbed in the back?"

Feng Jiao never expected Zhao Ru to say such a thing; every word pierced her heart.

She looked at Zhao Ru, her face filled with disbelief, "Mom, what are you saying..."

“Jiaojiao, don’t forget, the real victim in this matter is Lin Xi. It’s not that Mom doesn’t feel sorry for you, but Mom also has to think about your future. Your mistake was something that your father and I worked so hard to resolve. Now you’re making a fuss about not going to school. What’s the point of everything we’ve done?”

Feng Jiao bit her lip hard, her eyes red as she glared at Zhao Ru.

To her, Zhao Ru's words sounded like she was speaking up for Lin Xi.

Zhao Ru didn't originally want to say these things, but with Feng Jiao's personality, she would never realize her problems unless she was pushed.

“Jiaojiao, what’s done is done, and no one should blame you. Mom said that no matter what you do, your mom and dad are there for you. Even though we’re busy, we won’t really abandon you.”

"You have to trust your mom and dad. This matter has been resolved. No one will know what you did to Lin Xi before. Going to school doesn't mean you've given in or that you're afraid of her. Do you understand?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Feng Jiao's face.

Zhao Ru continued, "If you don't go to school because of this, and then tell others, it means you're guilty and scared. Lin Xi can act like nothing happened and do whatever she wants, so why can't you? Mom knows you're afraid that if everyone finds out about what happened before, they'll think you deserved to be hurt. But Jiao Jiao, don't forget, she's the one who hurt you. You should see yourself as the victim. As long as you're pitiful enough, no one will care what you did before."

Feng Jiao stared at Zhao Ru's face, as if she heard another meaning in her words, "You mean..."

Lin Xi has been staying at Qiao Xing's place for almost half a month now without her realizing it.

Although her condition has improved a lot compared to before, she still needs to go to school, and it's not feasible for her to stay with Qiao Xing indefinitely.

Tomorrow is Monday, so Wang Qin specially took an early shift to pick up Lin Xi and help her get ready to take her to school tomorrow.
