Chapter 9: The Self-Righteous Adult

  Lena stared blankly at Jing, and after a moment, tears also streamed down her face. Ah... how could such a selfish self be worthy of liking Liang Chen?

  Lena lowered her eyes, and after a moment, she raised them to glance at the cat, who was looking away with a frown, its expression lazy and stubborn.

  Lena's eyes lost their sadness, replaced by determination. She suddenly stood up straight: "I will delete those posts and then come forward to clarify things to my classmates and teachers."

  Is it still possible to make up for it now? Thinking of the elegant and refined face of Liang Chen in her memories, Lena's heart was filled with courage.

  "It would have been better if it were like this earlier." The cat-like man gave her a cold glance, tossing the phone to her. The phone drew an arc in mid-air before landing in Lina's hand. For some reason... Although this guy used to be quite annoying, he wasn't that bad now.

  "Hmm!" Lena couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. The cat was quite good at this too.

  Just looking at them reaching a good agreement, couldn't help but smile, with tears still in her eyes, quickly wiping them away, as if she was the most useless person, always crying, and would be teased by Cat again later.

  As soon as it was said, during the lunch break class, Cat Ni saw the class teacher come in, with a red-faced and low-headed Lina behind him.

  "Cough, excuse me for interrupting everyone, regarding the previous incident with Liang Chen. We've already investigated and found out that someone maliciously posted to harm him. This behavior is not right, fortunately, this student has voluntarily admitted their mistake. So, we'll just give a small punishment, detention will do, hope everyone won't dwell on Liang Chen's matter anymore. The charge of murder is being handled by the police, as students, you only need to focus on your studies and not gossip about these things."

  Next, it was Lena's turn to speak. She frankly admitted what she had done and glanced at Miao Miao for a moment. Although she didn't linger, Miao Miao still felt her apology.

  Just as she was halfway through what she was saying, she was suddenly interrupted by a loud, furious shout from outside the door: "You damned girl! You've been disgracing me since you were in school!"

  Everyone's gaze was directed at the entrance.

  All I heard was Lena's sharp cry, and she had already been seized by a middle-aged man who grasped her hair and slapped her face several times with a loud noise that made people's hair stand on end.

  "Dad, stop hitting! Ah—"

  The class advisor went up to mediate, but was pushed away with force. Watching the scene of Lina being beaten, her heart was tied into a knot. What kind of father is this? No wonder she was so afraid just now. However, knowing that there would be such consequences, Lina still went to acknowledge it.

  So you absolutely can't just sit back and do nothing.

  The cat rushed over from its seat, picked up the phone and was about to take a photo: "You hit again, I'll post it online!" Looking at the man's clothes, he should be quite wealthy and is considered a respectable person, but unexpectedly advocates for violent education.

  "Who are you?" The man stopped his actions and glared at the cat, "It's none of your business how I educate my daughter. You'd better not provoke me!"

  "Do you think this is good for your daughter? You hit her in front of so many people, have you considered her dignity? Have you considered her thoughts? Children are also human beings, they also have their own thoughts. If they're wrong, you just hit them, do you think you're raising a pet? It's because of irresponsible adults like you! Self-righteous adults! That's why children live so passively!"
