The next morning, Yang Haozhong woke up very early.
The morning air was especially fresh. Yang Haozhong shook off the haze in his heart and looked refreshed. He ran to the soy milk stall to buy soy milk and youtiao to go home. Then, he cooked a big pot of porridge with the leftovers. This was a home-cooked breakfast that his family had eaten for more than ten years.
The door to his parents 'room opened. When they saw their son's actions, they shook their heads and stood rooted to the ground.
"Morning! I bought breakfast. Come and eat hot food.”Yang Haozhong said with a smile.
"Oh! Oh!" His parents were so shocked that they couldn't speak clearly.
Yang Haozhong turned his head, took a deep breath, and then grinned. He bit hard on the youtiao in his hand. When the first ray of light appeared in the sky, he made up his mind. He had to go back to school. Even if he had to beg them, he had to go back to school. This was his life's hope. Under the strange atmosphere, the parents sat down beside their son to eat breakfast. Yang Haozhong ate with relish, but they tasted like wax.
"Son." "Shall I go to school with you?" Lou Tingyu probed.”
"Oh." Yang Haozhong was dejected. Looking at his mother's worried gaze, he forced a smile and said,"It's okay. It's not that serious. I'll go and beg the teacher.”
For many years, Lou Tingyu had always been the pillar of the family. Although she looked weak and beautiful, she was strong on the inside. She was the one who handled all the big and small matters in the family. She was like a man among women who supported the family. Yang Songwei had never dared to complain about this in front of her. Why would such a beautiful and strong woman marry someone like him? It was really like a flower inserted into cow dung.
Yang Haozhong did not go to the classroom. He did not want to alarm his classmates. After all, this was not glorious. After class, he and his mother went to the school's academic affairs office to look for Director Liang Renhong.
Liang Renhong was the first to break the depressing atmosphere in the office.""Haozhong has always been an outstanding child. We didn't expect such a thing to happen. Two days ago, Lin Manjing came to me with her father and told me this shocking news. At that time, Lin Manjing's mental state was very poor. She cried when she asked. His father said that Lin Manjing invited Haozhong to do homework at home, and Haozhong took advantage of the fact that there were no parents at home to 'that' her.”
Liang Renhong was embarrassed to say the word "rape" in front of Lou Tingyu.
"I couldn't believe it at the time because after all, this child was so outstanding and his future was so good. Sigh…But her father had sufficient evidence. If the school didn't handle it, he would call the police. When he said that he had evidence, Lin Manjing rushed out crying like a madman.”Liang Renhong described the situation. Yang Haozhong's heart felt as if it was being viciously pinched by a woman's sharp nails. Could it be that Lin Manjing really regretted it? Did she do this because she felt that I hurt her?
"This matter is very serious. It can be said that it has not happened in our school for a hundred years. If it was reported, it would be a huge scandal and the school's reputation would be ruined. I don't know what happened between Hao Zhong and Lin Manjing. I'd rather not believe it. However, Father Lin insisted that the school give an explanation, so there was nothing we could do.”
"Teacher Liang, my son said that you usually care about him. After spending more than two years with him, do you think he would do such a stupid thing?”Lou Tingyu asked earnestly.
"Hmm?" Liang Renhong pondered for a moment and replied more sincerely," I've always thought that Yang Haozhong is a good kid. I even hope that this is all wrong. He can be said to be the most talented and hardworking child I have seen in the past ten years of teaching. There weren't many children like this nowadays.”
Liang Renhong looked at Yang Haozhong kindly, and Yang Haozhong felt extremely warm. He was very grateful to his teacher for standing up for him at this time and saying these words.
" But…" His gaze suddenly became sharp as he stared straight at Yang Haozhong and said,""Are you and Lin Manjing in a relationship?”
Yang Haozhong avoided his gaze, lowered his head, and slowly nodded his heavy head. He felt that it was too ironic. Was Lin Manjing and I really in a relationship? He felt extremely ashamed.
"Sigh. You shouldn't have touched that kind of girl.”Liang Renhong sighed meaningfully." You should go out first. I want to talk to your mother alone.”
His "shouldn't" was like a needle piercing into the back of Yang Haozhong's head, making him feel dizzy. At this moment, Yang Haozhong did not have any ability to judge. He could only look at his mother in pain. Lou Tingyu nodded gently and gestured for him to leave. He stood up in a sorry state and walked out. When he walked out of the office, he collapsed in the corner of the room. Although he had been mentally prepared that morning, he was deeply hurt when others pointed out how childish and ridiculous his so-called "love" was. He was like an emperor wearing new clothes on the street, and finally someone pointed out that he was naked, making him feel ashamed. His mother talked for a long time inside. Yang Haozhong could roughly guess what they were talking about. They would probably talk about some evidence. Liang Renhong felt that Yang Haozhong was still a child and couldn't listen, so he chased him out.
When Lou Tingyu came out, Yang Haozhong was already asleep in the corner. After so many things happened, Yang Haozhong, who hadn't slept at night, finally couldn't take it anymore. She woke her son up and gently stroked his face and hair.
Yang Haozhong opened his eyes and saw his mother's sparkling tears.
"Let's go home. Teacher Liang promised to help us arrange a meeting with Lin Manjing's father tomorrow. Don't worry too much. He also told you to go to class first tomorrow and not miss the last revision class.”She dragged her son up, but she couldn't move him at all. Yang Haozhong quickly got up to support his mother. He saw his mother, who was a head shorter than him, have a few strands of white hair among her black hair.
Yang Haozhong felt a lump in his throat. He deeply blamed himself for not being able to live up to expectations and inheriting his father's weakness and incompetence. He actually used his mother as a shield.
The next day, Yang Haozhong went to class as usual.
Yang Haozhong did not return to the classroom after the first period. He ran to the window outside the academic affairs office and looked around. They had all arrived, but Lin Manjing was nowhere to be seen.
He sneaked to the door and eavesdropped.
"Compensate? How will your family pay for it?" Father Lin rolled his eyes at Lou Tingyu in disdain." I'd feel dirty if trash like you touched my finger. Your son dared to touch my daughter. Do you know how precious she is?" Yang Haozhong glared at the man through the crack of the door, furious. He clenched his fists, afraid that he would lose control and push the door open to beat him up.
"Mr. Lin, if you have something to say, say it nicely. You promised to sit down and talk. If you do this, we won't be able to talk.”Liang Renhong dealt with this kind of self-righteous rich and heartless person with ease and immediately shot back Father Lin's words. His righteousness not only won Lou Tingyu's gratitude, but also left a deep impression in Yang Haozhong's heart.
"Humph. I don't want to say anything more. Your school didn't manage the students well, so it's your responsibility. If I tell anyone about this, you know what the consequences will be.”Although Papa Lin was not as arrogant, he was still confident in the negotiation with all the chips in his hand.
"Lin Manjing can't read anymore. Every day, she was in a daze. The college entrance examination was about to begin. Your school has to be responsible for her situation.”
"What do you mean?" Liang Renhong frowned.
"I know that your school has a guaranteed entry to a key university. You should have the right to take it out, right?”Papa Lin put on the face of a standard businessman.
Yang Haozhong sucked in a breath of cold air." Lin Manjing, are you using me just for a recommendation to a key university?" He had the urge to laugh. A girl's innocence was ruined just for a recommendation. What kind of world was this? For the first time, he understood what a deal was. The first deal in his life had cost him too much.
"But as a punishment for that brat Yang Haozhong, you must fire him immediately.”Father Lin's eyes were burning with malice.
"Mr. Lin, I've already told you. I beg you to let my son go. He was still a child and did not know anything. He said that he was in a relationship with your daughter and did something wrong on impulse. He has a very good future, and you've completely ruined him.”Lou Tingyu begged.
"Future? What future? What future do you think your son has? Oh…you want your son to turn over a new leaf, right? Haha, but he shouldn't have provoked my daughter and bullied my baby. If killing was not illegal, I would have stabbed him to death immediately.”Yang Haozhong clenched his fists tightly.
"No! I beg you." Lou Tingyu was on the verge of collapse under Father Lin's vicious words. She grabbed Papa Lin's arm and was about to kneel down.
Father Lin shook her off in disgust. Liang Renhong rushed over in time to catch Lou Tingyu, who was falling backward. Yang Haozhong couldn't take it anymore. He pushed open the door and rushed forward to beat him up. Liang Renhong grabbed Yang Haozhong.
"What do you want?" Papa Lin retreated in fear and hurriedly covered up his embarrassment. He slowly tidied his shirt and deliberately touched the gold chain on his wrist. Yang Haozhong gritted his teeth in hatred.
"I won't let you off easily. How dare you treat me like this!”Papa Lin stood up impolitely, picked up the handbag on the coffee table, and walked out of the door.
Yang Haozhong clenched his fists tightly, and Lou Tingyu kept sobbing. He looked back uneasily, thinking that his stupidity had hurt her. His impulsiveness caused the situation that this woman had exchanged her dignity for to revert to its original state. He really wanted to kill himself.
Liang Renhong took out a tissue and handed it to Lou Tingyu. Then, he shot Yang Hao a crossbow, signaling him to go out and stop provoking her. Yang Haozhong walked out helplessly. As he walked, he looked at Liang Renhong and comforted his mother in a low voice.
Yang Haozhong had always admired Liang Renhong as if he was his father. He had also fantasized about how happy it would be to have such a father. This time, although he blamed Yang Haozhong, Yang Haozhong felt that compared to his father who was at a loss, Liang Renhong was more like a father to discipline him and help him deal with these things. For Yang Haozhong, who had never enjoyed fatherly love since he was young, he deeply respected Liang Renhong.
