Chapter 262

Seeing him speak so seriously, Zhang Jieqiang's classmates all looked at each other in confusion and surprise.

One girl said: "So, what exactly happened? We are just asking out of curiosity and don't mean to hurt anyone."

The leading boy recounted the whole story in detail, not only listing the names and schools of the students involved in the beating, but also clearly describing the time when the police station responded and the subsequent handling of the situation.

In comparison, Zhang Jieqiang's previous vague words seemed even more suspicious, while everything the leading boy said sounded much more true and credible.

Many students on the playground saw a group of people gathered here and came over to watch the fun. After a while, more than thirty people had gathered at the scene.

A few latecomers missed the beginning and were anxiously asking people around them what had happened, fearing that they would miss any exciting gossip details.

During the conversation, Zhang Jieqiang tried to interrupt and refute several times, but every time he opened his mouth, he was immediately hit back mercilessly by those eloquent and highly combative classmates.

Zhang Jieqiang gradually became speechless, and his attempt to cover up his crime only further confirmed his behavior of confusing right and wrong.

After the whole story was narrated, the eyes of everyone present looking at Zhang Jieqiang changed significantly, full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

His classmates, in particular, were still a little angry. Fortunately, they learned the truth in time, otherwise they would have been deceived by Zhang Jieqiang's one-sided statement. If they had told others the version of the story he said, it would have really hurt the girl.

Zhang Jieqiang had no way to deal with the overturn of his reputation. After all, he only had one mouth and he couldn't win the argument. He didn't want to be pointed at by the people present, so he could only leave in shame.

Many students in this school were promoted from the first primary school. Among the onlookers, there were also several classmates from Su Miao’s primary school. After hearing what happened, they all spoke up for Yuanyuan.

"The girl who was beaten was my elementary school classmate. She had good grades and was very well behaved. She was a three-good student. I don't believe she would fall in love prematurely. It must be like what they say, that Zhang Jieqiang couldn't catch up with her and made up stories."

"Yes, yes. Her deskmate used to be number one in the county. They even appeared together on the county's Spring Festival Gala, which was even broadcast on TV!"

"Is that the 'Tomorrow Will Be Better' show from two years ago? Oh my god! I loved their performance so much!"

"To be selected to participate in such a large-scale evening party, and to be the opening act, one must have passed all aspects of the political review. If a student had even the slightest flaw, they would definitely not be able to go. Now everything is clear."

The boy who took the lead in speaking for Yuanyuan clapped his hands and said loudly, "Classmates, this is what I think. This incident was an unprovoked disaster for that girl. Just imagine how terrible it would be if we were besieged for some unfounded things.

I suggest that everyone not discuss this matter too much, at least not in front of the girl, so as not to cause her secondary harm."

The classmates nodded in agreement. They would not be so mean as to go in front of others and say things about them, but private discussions were inevitable. But at least they knew the truth of the matter, and if the news spread, Yuanyuan would be a completely innocent person.

…

Wang Xin picked up the phone and said, "Xiaojun, it's you again. Well done. Thank you!"

Xiaojun said on the other end of the phone, "Brother Xin, why are we even talking about this? It's all natural. Besides, we're all from the same compound, and Li Yuanyuan and I have known each other since we were kids. Now that we know who it is, why wouldn't we help? Otherwise, people will think we're from the same compound and are easy to bully!"

Wang Xin said, "You and Yuanyuan are from the same school, so please help keep an eye on her. There are only two girls in our compound. Although we don't usually hang out with boys, we are still one of them."

"Yeah! Oh, I think Li Yuanyuan is just too good-tempered and too reserved. If she had told us about this earlier, I guarantee she wouldn't have gotten this beating."

"Why would a girl take the initiative to say it? And she herself didn't expect that just by rejecting a confession, without doing anything else, so many things would happen."

"In the end, it's all Zhang Jieqiang's fault. What a piece of shit! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him from now on."

…

After this incident, Zhang Jieqiang's reputation plummeted. He went from being a starter to sitting on the bench. His classmates no longer supported him as much as before. Even his parents warned him to study hard for the high school entrance exam and not to do such shameful things again.

The high school entrance exam was only three days away, and he walked home dejectedly. He had been in a bad mood recently and even his grades had fluctuated. He planned to make a final push in the next few days.

"A Qiang!" A delicate voice was heard, and Wei Xiaoyu suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Jiqiang like a gust of wind, blocking his way.

Zhang Jiqiang frowned upon seeing this and said impatiently, "What's the matter? Didn't I say we don't want to see each other anymore?"

When Wei Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes instantly turned red. She walked forward quickly and wanted to hold Zhang Jieqiang's hand.

However, before she could touch him, Zhang Jiqiang swung his hand away mercilessly. Wei Xiaoyu said bitterly, "You were the one who pursued me in the beginning, and you were the one who told me that Li Yuanyuan liked you. I was even fired for you, and now you want to sever ties and get rid of me?"

Zhang Jiqiang sneered and said sarcastically, "Ha! You were expelled because you're stupid. Using this method to deal with Li Yuanyuan won't always work. If you want to hate someone, hate Li Yuanyuan! It has nothing to do with me."

Wei Xiaoyu burst into tears and choked up as she said, "Why would I look for her? Everything I did was to be with you. It was you who said that we could get married after we graduated from technical secondary school and joined the company."

Zhang Jieqiang sneered, "How did you, a pig-brained person like you, get into junior high school? Marry you? Don't you see how old we are now? How could I possibly be locked in with you? Besides, let alone a technical secondary school diploma, you don't even have a junior high school diploma now. How can you be worthy of me? Get out of the way, I'm busy."

Zhang Jiqiang pushed her away and walked forward without looking back. Wei Xiaoyu stood there in a daze, muttering, "Not worthy of you? Yes, you are going to take the high school entrance exam, go to a technical secondary school, and get paid by the government, so I won't be worthy of you anymore."

Suddenly her eyes became fierce: "Then let you be like me and not be able to go to technical secondary school. Then no one will look down on anyone else. You can only be with me!"

After saying that, she picked up a rotten bench on the side of the road and threw it at Zhang Jieqiang angrily.
