The expression on Gu Yanping's face truly showed utter despair.
Zhang Qiang didn't go to see her.
He didn't even linger his gaze on her.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know you. I don't know whose child you're carrying. You'd better go find his biological father instead of coming here to falsely accuse me."
"Zhang Qiang!"
Gu Yanping raised her hand and slapped Zhang Qiang across the face.
How could you be so shameless?
Zhang Qiang's mouth bled from the slap. He tilted his head, raised it, and looked at Gu Yanping with bloodshot eyes.
Before he could speak, Liu Meiling had already reached out in a frenzy and shoved Gu Yanping away.
"Are you crazy, you country bumpkin?"
It's unclear whether Liu Meiling was too strong or Gu Yanping lost her footing. With Liu Meiling's shove, Gu Yanping actually fell to the ground with a thud.
Blood quickly appeared from her lower body.
Gu Changzheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lu Huaijiao stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Yanping, blocking her way.
"What's wrong with you, you ugly monster? Don't you know that the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women are not to be bullied?" In the end, she decided to step in and help.
It wasn't because of Gu Yanping, but because Gu Yanping was pregnant.
Her upbringing prevented her from remaining indifferent to the fact that a pregnant woman was beaten and miscarried in front of her.
Liu Meiling hadn't expected that her casual push would cause Gu Yanping to fall and bleed. This...this might lead to someone's death! What should she do?
Liu Meiling panicked.
He turned to look at Zhang Qiang, who was standing to the side.
"Brother Qiang, I didn't push her on purpose. She hit you first, so I retaliated."
And she didn't even use any force, so who knew this village girl would fall down like that?
She really didn't use any force.
Just as Liu Meiling was in a panic, Zhang Mingming arrived at the school with the police.
Meanwhile, Gu Changzheng's teachers from his school also rushed over upon hearing the news.
The two groups of people came together and asked who had called the police.
Gu Changzheng opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Huaijiao pressed his hand down, preventing him from opening his mouth.
Lu Huaijiao took a step forward, raised her head, and said to the police officer next to her, "Officer, this Zhang Qiang used to have an improper relationship with my second sister-in-law when he was still in our village. Later, my second sister-in-law died in an accident, and he seems to know the inside story of her death."
"Officer, could you please ask him to go back and question him properly? If there is any truth to this, it will be good to seek justice for my sister-in-law."
Lu Huaijiao's small face, no bigger than a palm, had delicate features and a faint smile.
When she smiles, she's like a pure white crabapple blossoming on a crabapple tree—beautiful, dazzling, and drawing everyone's attention to her.
The police, the school teachers, and the people around were all stunned by Lu Huaijiao's words.
They all looked at Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao smiled sweetly, as if what she said was nothing serious, and that she was just stating the facts.
The police officer looked at Zhang Qiang and slowly nodded.
"Comrade, is this what this woman said?"
"No, she's lying, she's deceiving me. I don't know that second sister-in-law she's talking about at all."
Even when Zhang Qiang was about to die, he still refused to admit it.
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue, forbidding Gu Changzheng from saying a word, and confronted Zhang Qiang herself.
"You really don't know me? You and my second sister-in-law have rolled around in the woods several times. I've run into them all. And it's not just me; other people have run into them too. Do you want me to call them out of the village to confront you?"
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
"What nonsense! If you don't think so, then let's go back to the village and confront the villagers! Let's see if I'm lying, or if you're just afraid to admit it?"
"Oh, right, there's also your marriage to Gu Yanping. Even if you didn't get a marriage certificate, you were already husband and wife in reality. You abandoned her after you went to university, and even conspired with outsiders to try to harm the child in her womb."
"Zhang Qiang, aren't you afraid of retribution for going to such extremes?"
Lu Huaijiao's words, one after another, left Zhang Qiang speechless and furious.
He wanted to make a move, but with the police present, how could he possibly have the chance to do so?
The police officers went straight up and arrested Zhang Qiang.
"Comrade Zhang, please come back to the bureau with us."
"No, I won't go. I didn't do it. Lu Huaijiao is talking nonsense. She's just making things up. She wanted to marry me but failed, so she holds a grudge and is slandering me. She's slandering me. I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!"
When Zhang Qiang was captured, he began to shout wildly.
Struggling, trying to break free from the police's grasp.
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue, not caring at all.
Liu Meiling, who had just protected Zhang Qiang and trusted him completely, was now ashen-faced, unable to believe that her sincere feelings had been misplaced.
Even as she turned pale and shook her head and backed away, Lu Huaijiao did not forget her.
She glanced at Gu Yanping, who was sitting on the ground, her pants stained with blood.
Gu Yanping forced herself to stand up, using her hands to support herself on the ground.
"Officer, this woman pushed me even though she knew I was pregnant. I suspect she wanted to murder me and my unborn child. Please, officer, do justice for me and my unborn child."
Upon hearing Gu Yanping's words, Liu Meiling was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
"You...you're talking nonsense. I didn't. I didn't push you on purpose."
She turned and tried to run away as she spoke.
The police officers immediately stepped forward and took them into custody. They brought Liu Meiling and Zhang Qiang back together.
As the person involved, Gu Yanping will definitely have to go back as well.
Lu Huaijiao also went with them to the police station to give a statement.
Gu Changzheng accompanied her, and the two held hands the whole time without letting go.
Once they arrived at the police station, Lu Huaijiao finally let Gu Changzheng speak.
The school didn't want him to speak out, not because they wouldn't let him, but because it was Gu Changzheng's school, and Liu Meiling was the principal's daughter. She was worried that the principal would hold a grudge against Gu Changzheng because of this and retaliate against him.
That's why she took on all the responsibility herself in front of them.
If Liu Meiling's parents really hold a grudge, Gu Changzheng can simply shift the blame onto her. She's not afraid of being resented at all.
Given how considerate Lu Huaijiao is of Gu Changzheng, Gu Changzheng is unlikely to be the kind of person who can't take responsibility and tries to push all the blame onto his wife.
If that's the case, can he still be considered a man?
After giving his statement at the police station, he took Lu Huaijiao out of the police station and headed home.
As they walked, he said softly, "Don't do things like what happened today again."
Lu Huaijiao raised an eyebrow and looked at the man beside her.
"What happened? You got into an argument with someone in front of your classmate?"
