Chapter 144 – Cruelly Hung Up!
A few minutes earlier at Jiang Fai's school.
Lihua faced Jiang Fai and asked, "Is it true that you started this fight?"
Jiang Fai bit his lip and his teeth ground in frustration.
Kang Hongqi sneered. "Why is your mouth shut now? Speak up! You crashed into my bike and ruined it!"
The other teenagers in his gang furiously nodded. "Yes! He came out of nowhere and started beating Kang Hongqi's stuff around!"
"When we got in between, he began to beat us too!"
Lihua raised her brow and understood by his guilty expression that this time, he was at fault. And she realized why, too.
The argument in the morning must have triggered him to pick a fight with Kang Hongqi. He just wanted to vent his anger.
Kang Hongqi said, "Not only did he ruin my bike, he beat me up and told me to give a message to Dad to divorce his mother!"
Li Tingzhe widened his eyes in shock. "What!?"
Kang Yuming stiffened. Her ears perked up.
Li Tingzhe angrily glared at Jiang Fai and lashed out at him. "Fai! What nonsense! Why would you say something like that?"
He sneered. "Why not? Why do you want to stay married to Mom when you already have this bitch with you! You have your mistress and two kids so live happily with them! Why are you still shamelessly clinging on to Mom, you cheater bastard!"
"Fai! I dare you to talk disrespectfully again!"
Kang Yuming anxiously said, "Fai, you are misunderstanding. I-I don't want to take your mother's place…"
He laughed. "Don't want to? Then why are you living with him without shame and even gave birth to two bastards? Why did you seduce a man when you knew that he was married! For eleven years, what else have you done but latch onto Mom's position like a parasite?"
Kang Yuming stiffened. She dug her nails in her palm, but outwardly, she showed a wronged expression.
"Fai I really didn't mean that…I-It was an accident…" Tears plopped out of her eyes and she sniffled.
"Yeah sure. You think I am blind, right?"
Li Tingzhe gritted his teeth. "Enough, Fai. I already said this many times that it's not Yuming's fault."
"Of course it is not 'just' her fault. You are equally responsible for not controlling your horny member in your pants."
Lihua almost burst into laughter. Li Tingzhe's face turned as black as a pot. "You! Where did you learn this crass language? Is this what Xiurang is teaching you?"
"Heh. At least it's better than you and your bitch mistress teaching their kids that it's okay to cheat and have an affair."
"You…" he turned livid and more so because he couldn't retort.
Lihua raised her hand and gave a thumbs up to which he smirked.
Li Tingzhe looked at the principal. "See? Fai started this whole fight! You ought to punish him."
Lihua smiled. "Sure he should be punished but don't forget that your daughter did much more by framing Jiang Fai and maligning his name. He did what did but it was out in the open, not like Kang Meifen who painted makeup on her face and falsely accused him."
Kang Meifen's face turned ashen. "No, I…"
The principal cleared his throat. "Mr. Li. It is Jiang Fai's fault for committing violence in school and I will take appropriate action against him for sure. But in my opinion, Kang Meifen did much worse. A false accusation of someone innocent could scar their reputation for life. Hitting a girl isn't a minor issue, and it could have adverse effects on his future if this lie spreads everywhere. Do you know that he could be put into a juvenile detention center for this accusation if it would have been true?"
Li Tingzhe and Kang Yuming were speechless.
"But it is false, which could have had a devastating effect on his reputation had Mrs. Jiang not proved it. Do you realize the gravity of this situation? You are quick to make me punish him, but what about Kang Meifen? You didn't reprimand her at all."
His expression turned even uglier as the principal blatantly pointed out his discrimination.
Kang Yuming realized that things were not turning in their favor. She sneakily tugged her daughter's hand and whispered. "Hold your cheek and cry."
Kang Meifen was confused. "What?"
"Just do as I say!" She said, "Cry that your cheek is hurting!"
She jolted and quickly held her cheek. "Ahh…ahhh…"
"Meifen! What happened to your cheek?" She feigned to act horrified.
"Mom, it's hurting…" she sobbed.
Lihua tilted her head.
Now what?
Li Tingzhe widened his eyes. "What happened?"
"Tingzhe, just look at Meifen. Her cheek is hurting. It must be because of that makeup remover! It's causing a reaction!"
She glared at Lihua. "What did you do to my daughter? You assured us that nothing would happen but now look! Her cheek is burning in pain!"
"Ahh…mom..it's hurting real bad…" She finally understood her mother's plan to trap Lihua.
"You promised you will take responsibility!"
Jiang Fai was stunned. "What the hell? Can you just not stop with this drama!?"
"Bro how can you say that…" Kang Meifen cried.
Li Tingzhe pointed his finger at Lihua. "Yuming is right. You must pay for hurting my daughter. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
The thugs had an urge to kill him.
Lihua folded her arms. "If that is what you want then I will take responsibility."
A glint passed through Kang Yuming's eyes and she sneered.
"But AFTER I prove if it is really causing a reaction or not."
"What!?"
"Of course," she snorted. "If she could fake the injury, why can she not fake a reaction?"
They stiffened.
The principal nodded. "I agree."
Lihua thought about it and her eyes shone with an idea. To end this once and for all, she needed a doctor and she knew just the man for help. But she didn't have his number.
So she quickly called Wei.
*Present*
"I want him to come to Jiang Fai's school as soon as possible! Can you please give me his number?"
Wei realized that it had nothing to do with her memory loss as he thought. "En. I will send you his details."
"Thank you, Wei!"
As Lihua got the ding, she immediately dialed Mingshen's number. She heard the click of the phone and she was about to say when his cold, detached voice spoke, "Who wants to die?"
"…"
She coughed. "Yang Mingshen! I am Jiang Lixue. Wei gave me your number."
Silence.
"I need your help. Can you please come to Jiang Fai's school? I-"
"Go die!" He hung up.
"…"
