219 ??219 Diverting the disaster
Li Li immediately understood what she meant, and the smile on her face disappeared. âThose who are evil people will get what they deserve.â
She glared at Tan Jing and thought, âshe got away with it again!â
Tan Rou glanced sideways at Tan Jing, who was sitting firmly on the fishing platform, and whispered, âI will take revenge for this sooner or later.â
After class, Tan Rou was tidying up her notes. Two of Tan Jingâs sidekicks, He Ling and Zhao Ru, who were also good friends with Li Jia, came over. They held hands as if they were here to denounce someone.
!!
âTan Rou, are you really going to send Li Jia to jail? Weâre all classmates, thereâs no need to be so ruthless, right? If Li Jia goes in, her life will be ruined.â
âThatâs right! You didnât get hurt anyways!â Zhao Ru echoed.
Tan Rou only felt that these two peopleâs words were idiots. She didnât get hurt? They were classmates? Why didnât they think about this in the first place that they were also classmates with Tan Rou? Why did it seem like she was trying to frame Li Jia?
Tan Rou threw the pen in her hand on the table, raised her chair, and leaned back. She looked at the two and asked, âWho was the one who spreaded the rumors? Who had sent the photo? Who is the victim in this incident?â
He Ling smiled awkwardly and repeated Zhao Ruâs words. âWell, you didnât get hurt physically!â
Tan Rou interrupted her. âWhat do you mean by physical harm? Oh, are you talking about the incident where Li Jia tried to break my arm?â
The two of them looked at each other and felt even more embarrassed. However, they have indeed been friends with Tan Jing for a long time. Not only were they thick-skinned, but they were also good at acting. They were even better at moral kidnapping than the old people on the bus.
âLi Jia didnât do it on purpose. There might have been a small conflict between you two but it was merely an impulsive act!â Zhao Ru still tried to defend for her friend.
âIâm sorry, this isnât a small conflict. This is a crime.â
Tan Rou explained to these law-ignorant people, âAccording to our countryâs law, spreading rumors and slandering that has caused a serious impact will result in criminal responsibility. Li Jia is already 16 years old. She should be responsible for her own actions. If you really want to help her, why donât you go and tell the police? You were involved in those things too.â
As soon as they heard that Tan Rou wanted them to share the responsibility, the two of them immediately cast themselves aside and rushed to say that they had never said such words.
âThatâs enough. You shouldnât corner Xiao Rou like that.â Tan Jing bit her lip and walked over with tears on her face. âXiao Rou is also a victim. She shouldnât be responsible for Jiajiaâs mistakes.â
Tan Rou watched her performance calmly, not knowing what Tan Jing was going to do next.
Sure enough, the next second, Tan Jing dragged Xu Yan, who had been reading, into the conversation. âItâs all Jiajiaâs fault. She was just jealous. She said she liked the class monitor, and the class monitor was cold to everyone except for Xiao Rou. So, Jiajia did something out of jealousy.â
Tan Rou frowned. She felt that Tan Jing was being disgusting. Even at such a state, she was trying to drag another person along with her.
Xu Yan was just minding his own business when disaster struck him from nowhere. A huge blame was directly transferred to his name and had been firmly buckled onto him.
âTan Jing, I should have invited you to the flood-control mission.â Xu Yan said coldly.
Tan Rou couldnât help but laugh when she heard Xu Yanâs words, the class monitor had a sharp tongue.
However, Tan Jing obviously couldnât understand what he meant and asked with a confused face, âWhat? What do you mean by that?â
Xu Yan stood up and put his hands on the table. âYour ability to divert the disasters away from you is excellent. Your skills would have greatly benefited the flood victims. Donât misunderstand, Iâm complimenting you.â
Li Li didnât understand Xu Yanâs comment earlier, but now that she heard Xu Yanâs serious explanation, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. âHahaha, the class monitor is so talented.â
Tan Jingâs face was pale and he looked terrible. âYou must be joking, class monitor. I donât have that ability.â
âYou didnât say anything before this but you insisted on speaking up after the truth came out. Itâs hard not to doubt your intentions.â Xu Yan didnât show any mercy.
âWhat do you mean by this? Are you trying to tell others that I am the reason why Li Jia has done this? And now that Li Jia is not here, you have no proof. How do I know if youâre not spreading rumors? If you are spreading rumors, can I call the police to arrest you for it?â
Tan Jingâs expression suddenly changed, and she stuttered, âNo, no!â
âOr is it that you and Li Jia are such good friends that youâre prepared to break the law and go in to accompany her?â Xu Yan sneered. âI saw that youâve been crying since you came in. You probably canât bear to leave Li Jia alone there. Well, you can apply to be in prison with her then. Iâll ask the class teacher for leave on your behalf. No need to thank me, this is what a class monitor should do.â
âThereâs no need for that!â Tan Jing waved his hand.
âWell said, class monitor!â Li Li applauded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
