Bai Jiaojiao's heartache for Shu Manling reached its peak at this moment.
Shen Heng kicked Wang Jialai, who was kneeling on the ground, aside: "Stop talking nonsense! Sincerity my ass! Isn't this just playing the rogue?"
Shen Heng despised this kind of person. His daughter-in-law had such a bright future, and instead of being secretly happy, he wanted to hold her back. What kind of man was he?
Seeing her son being kicked, Wang's mother went berserk, releasing Shu Manling and rushing towards Shen Heng: "What are you doing! How dare you hit someone?"
Her voice was shrill; no one had ever dared to speak to Shen Heng like that.
Shen Heng didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment. He quickly pulled Bai Jiaojiao, who was standing there in a daze, behind him and said, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly came to her senses. She just suddenly remembered how Shen Heng came to her and brought up divorce after she got into university in her previous life.
"It's nothing," Bai Jiaojiao pursed her lips and whispered to Shen Heng, "No matter who is right or wrong in this matter, we can't let people kidnap people like this on the street."
"What are you saying, you busybody? What do you mean by kidnapping! We're family. I'm here to bring my daughter-in-law home. What do you mean by kidnapping? It's perfectly natural!"
Wang's mother helped Wang Jialai up, and the two of them walked together to Shu Manling, intending to use violence to pull her away again.
This time, Shu Manling was on guard. She and Bai Jiaojiao hid behind Shen Heng, and Wang Jialai dared not come forward.
Bai Jiaojiao was startled by the gazes directed at her by the Wang family, and she felt her hand being tightly gripped by Shu Manling.
She had only heard Shu Manling mention that she had married a man from the countryside because of her parents, but Shu Manling rarely, if ever, talked about her married life, and neither she nor Xu Yue had ever asked her about it.
Now Bai Jiaojiao may understand why Shu Manling has remained silent about her past life, but now surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, it's difficult for her to handle anything calmly.
"If you dare come any closer, I'll call the police! If you're so capable, let's go to the police station and ask if what you're doing is perfectly justified! This is kidnapping! You know you'll go to jail!"
Bai Jiaojiao angrily rebuked him.
"Hey, you little girl, you look so quiet and gentle, how come you speak so rudely?"
"You think I'm being rude? Let me tell you, we're not so tough! Unless Shu Manling gives in herself, nobody's taking her away today!"
Hearing Bai Jiaojiao's words, Shu Manling belatedly burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid. Although I don't know much about your family, there's a saying that goes, 'Treat your own people, not those in the right.' I'll definitely side with you," Bai Jiaojiao whispered to comfort Shu Manling.
Shen Heng frowned and said to the onlookers, "What are you all looking at? Disperse! Disperse now! Let's see who's the last one to leave! Everyone, disperse!"
As he spoke, he shoved the onlookers in the front row. Seeing his frowning and dark face, and remembering how he had kicked Wang Jialai two meters away earlier, even those who wanted to watch the show knew that these two would get involved, so they reluctantly dispersed.
They just muttered to themselves, "How can our school have students like this? Anyone can get into university."
"Exactly! Even tigers don't eat their cubs. For a woman to throw away her own child is truly heartless!"
Listening to these people's comments, Shu Manling lowered her head even further.
"What are you trying to do! This is a family matter!"
As Wang Jialai spoke, he knelt down again with a thud: "Brother, we are all men. Put yourself in our shoes. How could anyone stand having their wife so far away from them? Please, let us take her away!"
Shen Heng glanced at Wang Jialai and said disdainfully, "I despise spineless people the most in my life! If you want to kneel, then kneel! Jiaojiao, take your friend back to the dormitory first."
With Shen Heng around, Bai Jiaojiao didn't have many concerns and pulled Shu Manling towards the dormitory gate.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also came along, and the dormitory manager acted as if she hadn't seen her, letting her into the student dormitory.
Bai Jiaojiao was really angry this time: "What are you doing? Can't you see this person?"
"They're all women, what's wrong with her coming in?" The dormitory manager was also in her forties and was clearly on the side of the Wang family.
The mother of the Wang family straightened her back triumphantly and berated Shu Manling, who was standing beside Bai Jiaojiao: "You tricked our family into bringing you into our home without giving us a single penny of dowry. How could we have treated you badly? If it weren't for the fact that you gave our Wang family a son, you wouldn't even be able to come to this university! Who knew that you, this whore, would be so heartless as to abandon your child! You want to run away, to leave our family? Let me tell you, no way!"
The dormitory manager chimed in, "That's right. Once you're inside someone's house, you're one of their people. You should behave yourself."
Bai Jiaojiao held Shu Manling's hand and could feel her trembling, not knowing whether it was from anger or fear.
Seeing that the dormitory wasn't a safe place either, Bai Jiaojiao grabbed Shu Manling and said, "Come on, let's go to the security office."
Even if the security personnel are on the Wang family's side, at least in this kind of place, there is a quiet environment to sit down and properly sort things out.
To be honest, Bai Jiaojiao is still completely clueless about it.
Based on her understanding of Shu Manling, she knew that Shu Manling was not a cold-blooded person; on the contrary, she often took care of Xu Yue.
Bai Jiaojiao led Shu Manling out and said to Shen Heng, "Brother Heng, let's go to the security office to talk! If that doesn't work, we can just have the security office call the police."
They walked toward the security office, and the Wang family members, needless to say, followed closely behind, afraid that Shu Manling would run away again.
It's summer vacation now, and there's only one old man in the security office. He's wearing an old man's shirt, and even in the middle of summer, he's holding an enamel mug with steaming hot tea in it.
What are you doing?
The old man glanced at the group; men, women, and children, some crying and some making a scene, it didn't look like an easy case to win.
"Teacher, these two people are trying to kidnap students from our school!"
"What the hell?"
Kidnapping in broad daylight?
The old man from the security office glanced at Shen Heng, thinking he was some kind of kidnapper, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Shen Heng saw the way the old man looked at him and knew that the old man had misunderstood.
But Wang's mother spoke first: "What kidnapping? We're asking my daughter-in-law to come home, is that kidnapping? Brother, you don't know, my daughter-in-law is very unruly. She abandoned her husband and children, took our money to go to university, and now she's not coming home! There's so much work to be done in the fields, and she's just slacking off here!"
With her hands on her hips, Wang's mother started cursing at Shu Manling right at the entrance of the security office.
Wang Jialai tried to pull Shu Manling away, but Shu Manling dodged him and went around to the other side.
