While I was on tenterhooks, I heard Fang Liang's mother shouting outside the door, "My son has always been very precious to us. No one has ever dared lay a finger on him! And now, he's lying in the ICU, his life hanging by a thread…!"
"Punishment! They must be punished! So ruthless at such a young age. When they grow up, won't they become murderers?! These two students are destined to be the dregs of society. It wouldn't be too much to sentence them to death!"
"If the law doesn't punish them, the Fang family is not to be trifled with either! Just you watch!"
When I heard that, I struggled for a long time. Suddenly, I felt a surge of courage. Where that came from, I had no idea.
I stood up and walked towards the door until I stop in front of the woman.
When she saw me, she frowned. Before she could say anything else, I said, "Aunt Fang, I suggest that you settle this matter with our family!"
"Oh, you're the sister of the student who beat up my son, right?! What an arrogant tone! Get lost!"
The man standing by the side then said, "Those two students will be prosecuted for intentionally causing hurt to others, they are considered adults, right? It's not going to be a light sentence!"
I clenched my fists and pretended to be calm. "If you dare to sue my brother for intentional assault, then I'll sue Fang Liang for raping an underaged girl!"
At this point, my parents, who had come running after me, appeared. When they saw this scene, they were stunned.
Mom hurriedly pulled me back. I shook off her hand and stared intently at Fang Liang's mother.
"Raping an underaged girl?"
I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. "I just had an abortion a few days ago. Fang Liang had taken me to a hotel when I was drunk. You didn't know about this, did you?!"
"…"
"Fang Liang should be at least twenty years old, right? Since he's already an adult, then the crime of raping an underaged girl is much more serious than intentionally hurting someone!? If you insist on blowing things up, I don't mind playing along!"
Fang Liang's mother said angrily, "Based on your words alone, what evidence do you have to say that my son slept with you?"
"It's rape, Auntie."
Suppressing the great sense of unprecedented humiliation, I pretended to be calm even though my words were dripping with blood and tears. "If you don't believe me, I think there's a hotel room record."
"…"
"Furthermore, if an investigation should be set up for a case, I will cooperate fully! No matter how the evidence is collected, I will accept it."
"What?"
"I know that the Fang family is rather powerful and we commoners are no match for you."
After a pause, I continued, almost in tears, "But if I expose it to the media, do you have the ability to suppress it?"
"You…"
Fang Liang's mother took a few steps closer to me and said through gritted teeth, "Do you really think a little girl like you can be a threat to me? Or have you overestimated yourself so much that you wish to challenge me?"
"Yes! Perhaps I'm overestimating myself! We'll watch this space then! Even if I have to lay down my life, I will not allow you to harm my brother the tiniest bit!"
She appeared overbearing, however my posture was equally unyielding. She stared at me blankly for a long while. Perhaps it was because my gaze was firm and resolute enough to threaten her, but she suddenly gritted her teeth and nodded. "Alright, alright! You win!"
With that, she led the man away!
My mother rushed over and took me in her arms. From the conversation, she finally realized how I had ended up pregnant!
