Chapter 92 A Mistake
-
Years ago, that was the first time Liu Genhong met Jiang Wanying.
At that time, he was a sophomore in high school at E'nan Middle School. During one of the flag-raising ceremonies at school, he saw from afar a girl with a high ponytail standing under the flagpole.
Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.
But she stubbornly held it back, holding her head high with an extremely stubborn expression.
He heard his classmates talking about the little girl, who was a troublemaker in the third grade of junior high school. Her name was Jiang Wanying. She was uneducated and always went against the teacher. Not only that, she also always bullied Chen Man, a female classmate in their class.
This time, it was because she deliberately pushed Chen Man down the stairs, injuring her leg, that her homeroom teacher, Chen Hongxia, ordered her to make a self-criticism in front of all the teachers in the school.
"How could the school not expel a student like her?"
"You're just ignorant, aren't you? I heard her uncles are all very powerful, and one is an officer in the army. The school probably can't afford to offend him. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been expelled eight hundred times!"
"I never thought she was so beautiful, but so vicious. Did she have a grudge against someone? Why would she do such a cruel thing?"
"She's still jealous that someone has better grades than her. It's said that she even cheated on the exam to surpass Chen Man! She secretly brought cheat sheets into the exam room and was reported!"
"Well done! People like her deserve to be thrown into a pig cage!"
"What's the point of having a wealthy family? People like her don't deserve to be in our school. They bring shame to our school!"
“…”
All I could hear were some "insiders" cursing and condemning Jiang Wanying.
Liu Genhong has never been a nosy person. Even though all the teachers in the school seemed to be against Jiang Wanying, he felt that it was really pitiful for the girl to fall in love with him.
Her stubborn expression, her eyes filled with determination amidst the grievance, made him feel pity for her.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, this is his principle in dealing with people. As long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would not define what kind of person the girl is based on what others said.
He remembered it very clearly. That day, after the national flag was raised, she stood alone in front of everyone and spoke her first and only words to all the teachers in the school:
She said, “I’m not wrong!”
The tone was so firm and unwavering.
There were voices of condemnation from the crowd below, and the principal and teachers on the stage looked at each other, their faces turning pale with anger at her words.
Chen Hongxia hurriedly went up to her and pulled her arm, forcing her to admit her mistake.
Liu Genhong clearly saw that she was frowning, probably because her arm was twisted and hurt, but no matter how Chen Hongxia threatened and tempted her, she always pursed her lips, said nothing, and stood there, so stubborn that it made him feel distressed.
At that time, he really wanted to stand up and ask whether there was any misunderstanding in this matter.
However, he had no position or identity to raise such questions. He was just a high school student about to graduate. If he easily got involved in their junior high school affairs, it would only cause himself endless trouble.
It was precisely because of this incident that Liu Honggen regretted it countless times in the years that followed.
If only he had 'meddled' just once, he wouldn't have missed her for the rest of his life.
