Chapter 142 Playing the Victim Card
Chapter 142 Playing the Victim Card
The next day after her meal with Liang Heng, different opinions started to appear on the internet in Rao City.
It was clear that Zhao Jingwei intentionally wanted to harm her schoolmate by dropping the steel pipe from the school's rooftop.
After the media retold the story, however, it became the fault of this "particular student", who chased away Class B's form teacher. The Class B students held back their anger and did not react. Zhao Jingwei, who was young and naive, wanted to punish this "particular student" for his wrongdoing but did not realize how serious the consequence was.
The police arrested her on the spot.
Zhao Jingwei's dad passed away years ago, and she only had her mom, who fell terribly ill after hearing what happened.
Her mom was still lying in the hospital right now.
She begged the school many times to give her daughter another chance.
Finding it unbearable, Zhao Jingwei's mom slit her wrist and tried to kill herself on the same day. Luckily, the hospital staff found her early and the doctors could save her.
The combination of resentment of the rich and a well-played victim-card made the situation slightly different.
The opinions on the internet took a turn.
[I think there's no need to create a big fuss over the incident since no one was actually hurt? This was obviously about a young girl who grew up in a dysfunctional family, and got a bit impulsive and
did the wrong thing. She's still young, the school should at least give her a chance to redeem herself.]
[I just want to know who this "particular student" is. He must have come from an impressive family background. I mean, it was just an accident, but he's already trying to destroy his schoolmate's life forever. So evil and wicked for someone of such a young age!]
[My relative's child studies at First High School, and I have heard from him before that the other student is also a girl. She just transferred not too long ago. I think she's called "Qiao Nian."]
[A transfer student? As I have expected, she definitely got into the school through connections. That poor Zhao Jingwei! All those rich people like to bully the rest these days, arresting people over something so trivial. Why is no one doing anything to manage them?]
Similar rumors and stories spread like a wildfire on the internet, from media interviews of the mother who attempted suicide to posts on the First High School forum to find out more.
All of a sudden, Qiao Nian couldn't even go to school without people throwing furtive looks at her and whispering behind her back. The Tang family had employed several connections to find this person.
Rao City was only this big.
There was no way this could remain airtight.
Wei Lou got the news first and immediately asked to
meet Qiao Nian after he got off his flight.
In a cafe at the airport.
On this rare occasion, Qiao Nian had donned a red JK uniform. She had her hair up in a low ponytail, tied using a hairband that resembled the same color as her hair.
She found a seat near the window and sat down. After ordering something cold, she started to look down at her phone. Her perfect face was so pure yet so intense.
There were a lot of rumors about her online these days.
There were also a lot of texts asking her about the incident.
One of which was from Yuan Yongqin.
She had been overseas the past few days.
But Su Mo was in Rao City, so he heard about the incident at First High School. He kept texting her to ask if she needed them to do something to shut the media up.
Jian Jin, whom Qiao Nian had no idea how she found out about the incident, actually asked her if she was alright too. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Besides all these people, Qiao Nian also received texts from He Yujuan, who told her not to offend anyone such that the Qiao family would be dragged into this.
Many were drinking coffee alone at this airport cafe. Some waiting for their flights and some waiting for certain people.
As the gentle and soothing music played in the cafe, Qiao Nian blinked intentionally, and without any
hesitation, she blocked everyone trying to lecture her on her phone.
