"I……"
Jiang Jingxue's question stumped Yue Keqi.
Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to defend herself.
"It's just a little sand, it doesn't prove anything! How can you prove that this sand came from a small fishing village?"
"That's easy."
Jiang Jingxue said calmly, "Professor Yue is a researcher. If he sends the sand to the laboratory for testing, he will naturally know whether it is sand from a small fishing village."
Upon hearing that the sand needed to be tested, Yue Keqi quickly went to Professor Yue and grabbed his arm.
"Dad, Jiang Jingxue framed me! You must prove my innocence!"
Although Yue Keqi spoke in a wronged tone, she secretly tightened her grip on Professor Yue's arm, trying to ask her father for help to cover up her wrongdoing.
No one knows a daughter better than her father.
By this time, Professor Yue understood what had happened.
Since Yue Keqi falsely accused Jiang Jingxue of stealing her application to join the Party, and he brought her back from the police station, he thought she had reformed.
Unexpectedly, she remained so stubborn.
During the day, she would lock the door to her room, saying she wanted to review her lessons, and she would stay there all day.
Little did they know, they would secretly slip out the window to do bad things.
Professor Yue was extremely disappointed in Yue Keqi.
She also knew that if the Gu family really took this seriously, even if he protected her, the Gu family would still find out the truth.
Why not just be frank and admit it, hoping that the Gu family will spare Yue Keqi out of consideration for his age?
"Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry, as your father, I apologize on behalf of my disappointing daughter."
Professor Yue approached Jiang Jingxue, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and sincerely apologized to her.
"General Gu, Madam Gu, Pingwei, it's all my fault for failing to raise my daughter properly. I'm so sorry."
When Yue Keqi saw Professor Yue admit it directly, she opened her mouth wide in surprise.
"Dad, what are you doing? She has no proof that I did it, why are you apologizing to this bitch!"
As soon as Yue Keqi finished speaking, Professor Yue turned around and slapped her across the face.
"Yue Keqi, shut up!"
Yue Keqi's face turned bright red from the slap.
She glared at Jiang Jingxue hatefully, feeling that Jiang Jingxue was to blame for everything.
Professor Yue was well aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Yue Keqi pushed the person into the sea, which constitutes attempted murder. If the police are notified, she can be convicted.
He didn't want his only daughter to go to prison at such a young age and have a criminal record.
That would ruin her entire life.
To atone for his daughter's sins, Professor Yue, despite his advanced age, humbly stood before Jiang Jingxue and the Gu family to apologize.
"I'll agree to any request as long as Keqi doesn't end up in jail."
The Gu family turned their attention to Jiang Jingxue.
Whether to give Yue Keqi another chance or to call the police and pursue the matter to the end, they respect her choice.
If it were anyone else, Jiang Jingxue would definitely have pursued the matter to the end without hesitation.
But seeing Professor Yue in front of her, Jiang Jingxue felt a little reluctant.
Professor Yue is a good man, but he has a disappointing daughter.
She couldn't completely disregard any feelings involved.
After much deliberation, Jiang Jingxue finally decided to give Yue Keqi another chance.
“I can choose not to call the police or pursue Yue Keqi’s legal responsibility, but I have one condition: I want her to leave. I don’t want to see her again.”
"Comrade Jiang, thank you!"
Professor Yue was very grateful to Jiang Jingxue.
“I will process her exit permits immediately and send her abroad as soon as possible. I will never let her come back again.”
Upon hearing that Professor Yue wanted to send her abroad, Yue Keqi immediately said, "Dad! I don't want to go abroad! Don't send me away, I just want to stay by your side!"
"Shut up!"
Yue Keqi's objection was invalid.
Professor Yue's decision to send her away, unwilling to let her stay and cause trouble, was actually a form of protection for her.
After leaving Professor Yue's house, Jiang Jingxue kept sneezing.
Gu Pingwei quickly took off his clothes and draped them over her shoulders.
On the way back.
Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue rode in one car, while Gu Xinguo and Tang Qiuzhu rode in another.
Seeing that Jiang Jingxue wasn't in good spirits, Gu Pingwei was a little worried, so he instructed Qin Liang to drive her to the hospital.
Jiang Jingxue stopped him.
"I'm not that fragile, I just have a slight cold, it's nothing serious."
Jiang Jingxue was stubborn and refused to go to the hospital, so Gu Pingwei had no choice but to take her home.
at night.
Jiang Jingxue, who was lying in bed sleeping, still developed a fever.
She had a high fever, and her mind was all foggy.
Gu Pingwei could sense her unusual behavior even through the blanket.
His hand touched her forehead; it was burning hot.
Gu Pingwei's touch made Jiang Jingxue feel a little nervous.
She wanted to resist, but she had no strength and could only murmur, "No, no..."
"Dayong, I'll listen to you from now on, please don't..."
It was as if she had returned to her previous life.
In my previous life.
Because of her illness, she felt weak all over and did not get up early to cook and do housework as usual.
Her wicked mother-in-law was cursing and swearing in the yard, saying all sorts of nasty things.
The old widower rushed into the room, and without caring whether she was sick or not, he dragged her off the bed and beat her severely, causing her nose to bleed profusely and her bones to almost break.
Hearing Jiang Jingxue's murmured words, Gu Pingwei was somewhat stunned.
