Chapter 405: Pushing the Limits
Pang Shili was almost mad. He had told his wife to go to the Qi family, but she went anyway, and got the same result. It was shameful for her to take the initiative to go and get humiliated!
But even if he got angry at her now, it wouldn't solve the problem. He said, "Now you know what kind of family the Qi family is. Don't have too much contact with them in the future."
Mother Pang nodded. This time she really saw the Qi family clearly.
Pang Shili then said to Pang Qiong earnestly, "You're still young, how can you know what likes and dislikes are? You're in your third year of high school, it's such an important time, yet you're thinking about all that nonsense. Think about it, you've delayed your studies because of Qi Hang. If you don't get into college, will Qi Hang be responsible? Forget about being responsible, will Qi Hang even care about you if you can't go to college?"
Pang Qiong was crying without saying a word, and Pang Shili was also very distressed. How could he not feel distressed for her, as she was his only daughter?
He added, "Don't worry about your classmates suing you. I'll handle it. Your most important thing right now is to study hard. Only when you excel will you meet even better people."
Pang Qiong wanted to say that she still liked Qihang in her heart, but she knew that if she said that, her father would definitely be disappointed in her, so she just kept crying silently.
How could Pang Shili not see that she didn't listen to his words? He sighed heavily, but said nothing. His daughter was spoiled by them.
That’s it. There are some things that you just won’t listen to no matter what others say. Only when you experience it yourself, feel the pain, suffering, and sadness, then you will truly understand some truths.
The next day, Pang Shili went to find a lawyer. Two days later, Xia Yi told Gu Siqing, "The other party wants to settle out of court."
"How do we reconcile?" Gu Siqing asked.
Xia Yi said: "Even if the other party's lawyer does not actively seek mediation, the court may first mediate before the trial. This case itself has not caused much impact, and the court will also first mediate out of court. Of course, you can refuse mediation.
If we want to reconcile, we now hold the initiative. We'll set the conditions, and if the other party can't agree, we can continue to go to court." Although Gu Siqing didn't study law in her previous life, she understood the process. She thought for a moment and said, "My conditions are few. Pang Qiong needs to clarify the facts and apologize to me in front of the entire school."
"Don't you want financial compensation?" Xia Yi asked.
Gu Siqing: "No."
Asking for too much is not very appropriate, and asking for too little is unnecessary.
In fact, she wanted to sue Pang Qiong because she felt that if she argued with her in class, things would get worse and the rumors would spread more widely. So she killed the matter at the source, and no one dared to say anything.
The other one was Qi Hang. When Pang Qiong said those words, she suddenly understood what Qi Hang wanted to do by looking for her several times.
She hadn't considered this before, partly because Qi Hang had just broken up with Wen Dandan, and she and Wen Dandan were good friends. Who in their right mind would hook up with an ex's friends right after a breakup?
Furthermore, it was obvious that Qi Hang wanted to befriend Han Zhengping before. Who in their right mind would hook up with someone they were trying so hard to befriend?
Well, she and Han Zhengping are not officially dating yet, but Qi Hang must know about their relationship.
But Qi Hang was just that mentally unstable. When facing such a person, he had to be ruthless, letting him know that he was not to be trifled with and that he should not have any evil intentions.
This is like killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Xia Yi felt a little regretful. He had originally wanted to go to court and have a heated debate with the other party's lawyer, but now it seemed that the possibility of going to court was very slim.
But he couldn't deliberately complicate the case for his own selfish desires. He said, "Okay, I'll talk to the other party's lawyer tomorrow."
The next afternoon, Pang Shili received a reply from his lawyer. Gu Siqing asked Pang Qiong to apologize to her in front of the whole school, but Kang Yuanze refused to accept the settlement.
Pang Shili was really overwhelmed, but no matter what, he decided to deal with Gu Siqing first. At the same time, he was also very puzzled. Judging from the other party's current appearance, it didn't seem difficult to talk to. Why did he go to court to sue Pang Qiong for a disagreement?
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply gave up thinking about it. When Pang Qiong came home from school, he told her the lawyer's reply, and then said:
"I'll go to school with you tomorrow and explain this to the teacher first. Then, have your teacher organize the students and you apologize to Gu Siqing in front of everyone in the school."
Pang Qiong pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't want to apologize to Gu Siqing in front of the whole school.
Before, when she thought she had to go to court, she thought to herself that it was not a big deal. She could just apologize to Gu Siqing. At most, she could apologize in front of the whole class and the whole school.
But now, Gu Siqing asked her to apologize, and she felt that Gu Siqing's request was excessive. Couldn't she apologize to her in front of the class? Why did she have to apologize in front of the whole school?
Gu Siqing was deliberately making things difficult for her.
People are like this, they like to get more!
After a moment's silence, she said, "You ask your lawyer to tell her that I want to apologize to her in front of the whole class."
After hearing what she said, Pang Shili angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground with a bang, pointed at her and said, "You are the one who pushes the envelope. You must apologize to Gu Siqing in front of the whole school. If you don't apologize, I will do it. I will apologize to him in front of everyone in the school."
Seeing him like this, Pang Qiong started crying again. Pang Shili looked at her deeply and said, "Pang Qiong, I am really disappointed in you."
After saying that, he tiredly went into the study. Pang Qiong sat on the sofa in the living room and burst into tears. After she finished crying, she went to Pang Shili and said, "I will apologize to her in front of everyone in the school."
Pang Shili hummed and said nothing. He was really disappointed with his daughter.
The next afternoon before class, the head teacher found Gu Siqing and told her that Pang Qiong wanted to apologize to her in front of the whole school, saying that the school had set the time for the next morning after morning exercises.
Gu Siqing had no objection to this and said, "Thank you for your help, teacher."
The head teacher hummed, then said with some dissatisfaction, "Student Gu Siqing, if you can tell me about something like this, we can resolve it within the class."
Gu Siqing understood the teacher's feelings. It was simply that the incident had become a big deal and was bad for the school's reputation. She asked, "Teacher, if I told you about this, would you believe that Kang Yuanze and I weren't dating?"
The head teacher was stunned by his question. To be honest, he would definitely suspect the relationship between Gu Siqing and Kang Yuanze.
"See, you also have doubts. What about others? I was innocent, but her words ruined my reputation. What's the use of her apologizing?" Gu Siqing said.
The head teacher was embarrassed by what she said, and she forced a smile and said, "Okay, teacher got it."
