The man's eyes darted around as he looked at the S University students who were scattering in all directions, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
The man leaned close to Cheng Yue's mother's ear and whispered a few words. After a moment, Cheng Yue's mother's eyes lit up, and she asked the man:
Are you sure this method will work?
The man's eyes gleamed. "Of course it will work. Just do it my way."
Cheng Yue's mother hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to stop a female student from S University who was passing by.
……………………
After returning to her dormitory, Cheng Yue was completely listless. She lay down on her small bed and covered her head with the blanket.
At that moment, she just wanted to bury her head in the sand and hide away, because she really didn't want to face her aggressive mother.
Unfortunately, reality did not allow her to have her wish fulfilled.
As she drifted off to sleep, other classmates knocked on her dorm room door and called out from the entrance:
"Cheng Yue, you need to go check on them right away. Your parents are causing trouble at the school gate, and even the principal has been alerted."
Cheng Yue woke up with a start and sat up straight in bed.
"What did you say?"
She looked at the female classmate who had delivered the message to her, her eyes wide as she asked.
"I told you your parents were causing trouble at the school gate," the girl who delivered the message repeated.
Cheng Yue frowned. Wasn't her father long ago? Where did she get this father from?
Are you sure they are my parents?
The girl said impatiently, "I've never met your parents, how would I know if they are them? Anyway, they're causing trouble at the school gate right now, take it or leave it."
After saying that, the girl left Cheng Yue's dormitory, muttering curses as she left, as if she felt she had done something thankless.
Cheng Yue was startled. Without thinking, she quickly put on her shoes and ran towards the school gate.
When she arrived at the school gate, she saw a crowd gathered there, and she heard Cheng Yue's mother pulling on Principal Yu, crying and pleading:
"My poor Cheng Yue was deceived by her classmate Ye Huanhuan. At such a young age, she was actually asked to donate bone marrow to save someone else. Is bone marrow something that can be donated so easily? My Yueyue is so young. If she donates bone marrow and there are any side effects, won't her life be ruined?"
Principal Yu stammered, unsure how to comfort Cheng Yue's mother.
Cheng Yue squeezed through the crowd, "Mom, what are you doing?"
As soon as Cheng Yue's mother saw her, she rushed over and grabbed her hand. "Yueyue, you've finally come! Tell them that you didn't donate bone marrow voluntarily!"
Cheng Yue was stunned. She looked at her mother, then at the man beside her, and immediately understood what was going on.
These two people have stayed until now and haven't left. Not only that, they even made it public at the school gate that she had voluntarily donated bone marrow.
Cheng Yue shook off her mother's hand. "Mom, stop making a scene! I told you, I did it voluntarily."
"Yueyue, are you stupid?! How could you do this willingly?" Cheng Yue's mother said, heartbroken.
"This is my own decision, it's none of your business!" Cheng Yue said firmly.
At this moment, a passerby couldn't help but speak up, "Young lady, I know you mean well, but you also need to consider your health. Bone marrow donation is no small matter; it could lead to long-term health problems."
"Yes, we should do good deeds within our capabilities. We can't joke around with our health."
Upon hearing passersby speak up for her, Cheng Yue's mother immediately burst into tears:
“My Yueyue is just too kind. She was easily fooled by her classmate Ye Huanhuan with just a few words. Not only that, Ye Huanhuan won’t compensate Yueyue with a single penny. Tell me, is there anyone in the world as heartless as her? When she’s being wicked, she’ll even cheat her own classmate!”
The onlookers were in an uproar upon hearing this.
"No way, Ye Huanhuan is so rich, she wouldn't not give a single penny, would she?"
"Who knows? Haven't you heard the saying that the richer a person is, the stingier they are?"
"If that's really the case, then Ye Huanhuan is really wicked."
Cheng Yue was so angry she could barely speak. She grabbed her mother and yelled in despair, "Mom! What do you want? Can you please stop making a scene here! Ye Huanhuan isn't the kind of person you're making things up about!"
Cheng Yue's mother: "How could it not be? Yueyue, let me tell you, in this world, besides your mother, no one will truly treat you well! If she really cares about you, she should give you money to compensate you! If she can't give you money, then it means she's lying to you! I want everyone in your school to see just how heartless Ye Huanhuan really is!"
Cheng Yue's mother's move was a form of moral blackmail, and Cheng Yue really didn't want to explain anymore. A look of despair appeared on her face. "Mom, please stop pressuring me, okay?"
The man beside Cheng Yue gently advised her, "Yueyue, how is your mother forcing you? She's doing this for your own good."
Cheng Yue looked at the man, her eyes full of sarcasm and disdain, "Wu Ren, stop pretending here. Do you think I don't know that you instructed my mother to do all this? If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't be in this state!"
Wu Ren's face stiffened, and he retorted, "Yueyue, how can you blame me? I treat you like my own daughter!"
Cheng Yue's mother couldn't help but speak up for Wu Ren, saying, "You silly girl, how can you blame your Uncle Wu? What does this have to do with him? Besides, how can you be so ill-mannered? He's your uncle and your stepfather. How could you call him by his name in front of so many people?"
Cheng Yue gave a cold, dejected laugh: "Mom, you've changed ever since you got together with him. Back when Dad was alive, he taught me to be honest and trustworthy, not to go back on my word, and to always keep my promises. You also told me to be an upright and kind person like Dad, and not to take what doesn't belong to me. Now, how have you changed?"
Cheng Yue's mother was speechless, her breath caught in her throat.
Yes, she did say that Cheng Yue should be an upright and kind person, but that was a long time ago.
Back then, her ex-husband, Cheng Yue's father, was too upright and kind, which is why he saved three drowning young people with his own life.
But what happens in the end?
The three young men who were rescued didn't even come to their door to say thank you.
This just proves the saying: good deeds go unrewarded.
Those who heard Cheng Yue's words were immediately filled with respect.
Unexpectedly, this little girl, who looks small and has chubby cheeks, is so kind.
Principal Yu had fully understood what had happened and said to Cheng Yue and her mother:
"Cheng Yue, Cheng Yue's mother, why don't you come to my office first? It's not good for you to keep making such a fuss at the school gate. I'll call Ye Huanhuan over, and you can talk about this properly then."
After saying that, he turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, disperse. There's nothing more to see!"
