Chapter 59: Exposed

When Jiang Rou’s father first saw Ling Yao, he felt that she was no ordinary person.

She exuded an air of authority. Just standing there, she gave off a sense of pressure.

Jiang Rong looked at Ling Yao’s exquisite face with envy, wishing she could tear it apart.

 How could a country girl have such a beautiful face? She should have stayed as dark and fat as before, forever an ugly monster.

It was all because of that useless person yesterday. He couldn’t even throw sulfuric acid properly.

 He was supposed to throw it on Ling Yao’s face, but now Ling Yao’s face was unscathed, and her sister was arrested instead.

Jiang Rong glared at Ling Yao with malice, her eyes filled with a sinister glint. When her sister got out, she would find a way to kill Ling Yao.

Ling Yao’s gaze swept coldly over Jiang Rong, her eyes filled with chilling iciness.

She guessed that the person from last night was sent by the Jiang family. Since they had come to her doorstep, she wouldn’t be polite.

“Ling Yao, we’re here to apologize to you. Rong Rong, come here and apologize to Ling Yao.” Jiang Rou’s father beckoned to Jiang Rong and gave her a wink.

Jiang Rong reluctantly walked forward, “Sorry.” She would make Ling Yao pay for this humiliation tenfold in the future.

Ling Yao chuckled, the slight curve of her lips radiating disdain,

“Is that your apology? I think I’ll pass. I don’t accept insincere apologies.”

She turned to the principal, “Principal! I’m going back to class.”

The principal glanced at the Jiang family father and daughter and nodded with a smile.

“Wait, Ling Yao. We really came here to sincerely apologize. As long as you can forgive us, I’ll agree to any conditions.”

Jiang Rou’s father stepped forward to stop Ling Yao, his face full of sincerity.

“Really any conditions?” Ling Yao looked at Jiang Rong with a mocking smile.

Jiang Rong glared fiercely at Ling Yao.

“As long as you can forgive us, anything goes.” Jiang Rou’s father just wanted Ling Yao to forgive their Jiang family.

Ling Yao pointed at Jiang Rong, “Then make her kneel down and apologize to me. Maybe I’ll consider it.”

 In her previous life, the two Jiang sisters had forced her to kneel in public, poured dirty water on her head, and forced her to eat the leftovers from the dog’s food…

Those scenes seemed to have happened yesterday. Thinking about them still made her grit her teeth.

Jiang Rou’s father’s face turned a little ugly. He was struggling internally.

 But he knew that he had to make this difficult decision for the sake of the Jiang family.

He gritted his teeth, turned to Jiang Rong, and said in a low but firm voice, “Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to Ling Yao.”

Jiang Rong’s eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at her father, her face filled with grievance and anger, as if she had been greatly insulted,

 “Dad, are you crazy? How could I kneel to her?”

“Kneel down, or don’t call me father anymore.” Jiang Rou’s father said sternly.

“I won’t. I’d rather die than kneel.” Jiang Rong stiffened her neck, her face stubborn. Making her kneel to Ling Yao?

If this got out, how could she face people anymore?

Jiang Rou’s father walked forward and forced her to kneel by pressing on her.

“Thud!” Jiang Rong’s knees slammed onto the ground. The pain made her tears almost fall. The humiliation she felt was like a raging wave.

She glared fiercely at Ling Yao, her eyes as if they wanted to tear her apart.

“Apologize!” Jiang Rou’s father pressed down on Jiang Rong, who was struggling to get up, his heart filled with heartache. Rong Rong was his daughter.

 If it weren’t for the circumstances, he wouldn’t have made her suffer this humiliation.

But for the sake of the Jiang family, he had to make his daughter suffer first.

Jiang Rong struggled for a while before finally giving in, “Sorry.” She glared at Ling Yao through gritted teeth.

 Ling Yao, you just wait. One day, I’ll make you pay tenfold for this humiliation.

“Ling Yao, are you satisfied now?” Jiang Rou’s father looked at Ling Yao ingratiatingly.

Ling Yao gave the Jiang family father and daughter a cold glance and walked out.

If a simple apology could atone for all their crimes, what was the point of the law? Bullies must pay for their actions.

This morning, she had already sent evidence of the Jiang sisters bullying their classmates over the years to the newspaper and television station.

 She believed that it wouldn’t be long before the Jiang sisters received their due punishment.

“Ling Yao, don’t leave. Ling Yao.” Jiang Rou’s father quickly chased after Ling Yao. He hadn’t gotten the answer he wanted. How could he let Ling Yao leave?

“I won’t forgive Jiang Rong and Jiang Rou. They have to be responsible for what they did.” Ling Yao’s voice came from ahead, cold and ruthless.

She wouldn’t forgive the Jiang sisters. The classmates they had bullied wouldn’t forgive them either.

They had inflicted not only physical but also mental harm on them. It was a lifelong trauma.

Jiang Rou’s father stopped and watched Ling Yao’s back disappear. Finally, he sighed helplessly and turned back to the principal’s office.

Ling Yao wouldn’t forgive them. It seemed he would have to work on Ling Yao’s family. As long as he paid enough, he didn’t believe he couldn’t solve this.

Jiang Rong glared fiercely at her father and ran past him, crying.

“Rong Rong.” Jiang Rou’s father quickly chased after her.

As soon as they returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Rou’s mother rushed to greet them, “Old Jiang, something’s wrong! Something terrible has happened!”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Rou’s father asked, frowning. He was almost driven crazy by his two daughters.

“I just saw our daughters on TV. They’re reporting on them bullying their classmates. One girl was driven to drink pesticide and commit suicide because of them.

Another girl was beaten up by them and is now paralyzed in bed. The reporters have already interviewed the victims.”

“Didn’t we settle all this? We paid a lot of money at the time, and they promised us they wouldn’t expose it.

How did it come out now?” Jiang Rou’s father’s face was very ugly. They knew about those things.

 They had paid a lot of money at the time, and the other party had promised them they wouldn’t expose it. How did it come out now?

“Come here and watch TV first.” Jiang Rou’s mother was anxious and kept pacing back and forth. She pulled Jiang Rou’s father to the sofa.

The TV was now showing a reporter interviewing the family of the girl who had committed suicide by drinking pesticide,

 “Why are you exposing this now? Your daughter has been dead for three years.”

A middle-aged woman knelt in front of the camera, crying her heart out, “They threatened us and said that if we dared to expose this, they would make us accompany our daughter.

We had no choice. We’re sorry to our daughter. Reporter, please, make the person who hurt my daughter pay for it. Please.”

Her words were like a sharp knife, mercilessly stabbing into the hearts of Jiang Rou’s father and mother, making their souls tremble.

 They knew that once these things were exposed, their Jiang family was finished.
