Really did nothing?
Not entirely, right?
If she hadn't refused to pay back the money, how could so many problems have arisen?
But Ye Ziqiu would not put the blame on herself. She would only hate Li Heng. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have gone through so many bad things and wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Go back." Ye's father was anxious and started to drag him. Ye Ziqiu had no ability to resist facing Ye's father's desperate pull.
"Save me." Ye Ziqiu stretched out his hand to the passers-by, but all he met were cold-eyed bystanders. No one was willing to lend a helping hand.
She was dragged away like a dead dog. No matter how much she cried, it was useless. No one came to her aid. All they could do was ignore her.
Her throat was hoarse from shouting, and her tears dried up, but no one came to her rescue. Some people only pointed and criticized her. At first, she felt embarrassed, but as time went by, her heart also cooled.
Are you going to accept the fate of being dragged away?
No, absolutely not. She didn't want to be a country girl all her life, and didn't want to be sold as a bargaining chip by her parents.
Ye Ziqiu bit his father's hand fiercely. "Ah! You little bitch, you..." Ye's father loosened his hand in pain, and Ye Ziqiu immediately ran away.
"What are you running for, little bitch? Can you run faster than a monk can run away from a temple?"
Ye Ziqiu didn't look back and ran straight to the rooftop.
There is a broadcasting room on the rooftop, which is usually used for broadcasting.
Ye Ziqiu broke into the broadcasting room, snatched the microphone, and shouted: "I didn't do those things, I am innocent."
Maybe because she was crazy, she said whatever she thought without any scruples.
"I'm Ye Ziqiu, a top student in the senior year class. I'm here to tell everyone that I didn't run off with another man, and I'm not pregnant with anyone else's child. I'm innocent and have a clear conscience. Don't you know that gossip can kill? Or do you think that other people's suffering is just the beginning of your amusement, and you're happy to stand on the highest vantage point and watch others suffer?"
Ye Ziqiu spoke word by word, "I will never admit defeat. I'm putting this on hold today. Whoever makes things difficult for me, I'll make things difficult for him."
"Are you crazy?" Ye's father chased after him and snatched the microphone from Ye Ziqiu's hand. "Do you know how shameful this is? Come back with me."
"No." Ye Ziqiu stepped on Ye's father and ran out.
There was no guardrail on the rooftop yet, so Ye Ziqiu ran to the edge of the rooftop and stopped.
There was a dense crowd of people gathered below, some were there to laugh at the joke, some were there to watch the fun, some were there to worry, some were there to scream...
The sound was noisy and chaotic, just like the chaos in her heart at the moment.
Ye's mother burst into tears and shouted, "Come back here."
Ye Ziqiu was standing on the rooftop, with a bottomless abyss under his feet.
Of course she was reluctant to jump. How could she bear to jump down like this when she hadn't even started to live a good life yet?
She only knew that if she remained silent and did not resist, her fate would be even more miserable than jumping.
She burst into tears and said: "I didn't do anything like that."
"I believe you, Ziqiu, please come back soon."
Ye's mother's heart tightened. Her children were like pieces of her flesh and blood. How could she not feel sorry for them?
She reached out to Ye Ziqiu. "As long as you come back, I'll agree to whatever you say."
After Ye Ziqiu's big fuss, all the teachers and students in the school knew about it.
I also know that she is on the rooftop and is about to jump off the building.
The police were called and the school security guard was standing downstairs.
Ye Ziqiu's homeroom teacher, Mr. Jia, was shocked. In the face of life and death, everything is trivial.
If Ye Ziqiu jumped, not only would the principal lose his job, but she would also be tarnished and would never be able to recover.
Almost instinctively, she put on a flattering smile and tried to get closer to Ye Ziqiu's hand. "Ye Ziqiu, come back. The school won't pursue you anymore."
"Teacher, I didn't do those things."
"Teacher knows." Teacher Jia said sincerely: "As long as you come down, everything can be discussed, okay?"
Ye Ziqiu smiled and said, "I want Li Heng to drop out of school. Can you agree to this?"
"Yes." Teacher Jia knew very well that she should not provoke someone who was about to jump off the building, so she had to agree to whatever she said.
Ye Ziqiu looked at Teacher Jia deeply and smiled faintly. "You must keep your word."
"The teacher must keep his word. If you come down, everything will be easy to discuss."
"It's all his fault that I'm in this situation. I..." Ye Ziqiu stopped talking because he saw the person who shouldn't have been there.
Li Heng just looked at her quietly, and she even saw disdain in his eyes.
Teacher Jia didn't recognize Li Heng and thought he was just an ordinary male student. She winked at Li Heng, trying to get him to pull Ye Ziqiu down.
In the end, Li Heng said, "Just jump."
Teacher Jia was about to collapse. She glared at him. "Would you please shut up?"
"No." Xu Jing remained calm and composed, even making sarcastic remarks. "Why don't you jump? Jump now. If you jump, everything will be over."
"Li Heng!" Ye Ziqiu screamed, unable to control his emotions when he saw him. "Why are you here?"
"You were looking for me, so I came here."
Xu Jing stayed in the county town for two days and was about to go back when he was found by Hou Liang.
Hou Liang told him everything that had happened, and at the end he even exaggerated and said some bad things about Ye Ziqiu.
When Xu Jing returned to school again, he heard Ye Ziqiu making a big fuss on the radio and even threatening to jump off the building.
Although he knew she couldn't dance, he still went up to the rooftop.
"What do you mean by having a clear conscience? Are you not going to pay back the money you owe Qin Chuan?"
Ye Ziqiu said: "That's between Qin Chuan and me, what does it have to do with you?"
"Of course it matters. I'm Qin Chuan's employer now. The money you owe him is equivalent to the money you owe me. I have every reason to get back what belongs to me." Xu Jing said slowly: "If you don't pay it back, I'll ask your parents for it. You have no shame, but your parents still have some."
"Ah." Ye Ziqiu screamed like a groundhog. She was about to collapse. How could there be such a shameless person?
It was obvious that she was about to achieve her goal, but she actually ran into an obstacle halfway.
"What do you want?"
Xu Jing sneered: "Are you deaf or dumb? You still think you're right to not pay back the money you owe?"
Teacher Jia said, "Can you two go downstairs and talk?"
What would she do if someone really jumped off the building?
"No." The two said in unison, the current in each other's eyes almost reaching 100,000 volts.
If looks could kill, the other person would be shattered into pieces immediately.
"Ye Ziqiu, either pay me back or you jump. Let me make it clear that even if you jump, I will still have to ask your family for the money you owe me."
Ye's mother couldn't help it. "Young man, what money does she owe?"
"Three years of high school expenses and tuition. Auntie, how do you think your daughter got by these three years? Did she just starve?"
