Normally, since the Xu family had decided not to pursue this matter, it should have ended there.
But this Su Yue had a very strange way of thinking.
She thought that it was all Xu Tingyu's fault that the Su family had punished her because of this incident.
Xu Tingyu was just so lucky. Even after being sent to Su Yi's bed, she managed to escape unscathed.
Moreover, because of this incident, Su Yi refused to say a single word to her anymore.
Once when she passed by the study, she overheard the old man telling Su's father that Su Yue was too scheming and they couldn't keep raising this child.
She was afraid of being sent away and angry that it was all Xu Tingyu's fault.
So she decided to take revenge.
In the second month after Su Yi's birthday, the way people in school looked at Xu Tingyu changed.
At that time, Xu Tingyu didn't know what had happened yet, but there were always boys who found her privately and asked her how much money it would take for them to kiss her.
She thought it was just a prank and warned them that she didn't like such jokes.
The timid boys would just leave.
But there were also the bold ones who would get angry and sneer at her, "Stop pretending. Haven't you been messed around with already?"
In anger, she went to the school to report this.
At the same time, she also went home and told Zhang Qiu about it.
But instead of going to the school to handle this for her immediately, Zhang Qiu told her to dress properly and stop causing trouble.
She was shocked.
She was wearing the school - issued uniform, a standard short - sleeved pleated skirt. How could it be considered improper dressing?
The mother - daughter pair had an argument, and she stormed out of the house in a huff.
As a result, she was cornered in a deserted basketball court near her home.
Normally, only a bunch of teenage boys would come and play here. It was very noisy, and the adults didn't like to come because of the noise.
Xu Tingyu was just passing by when she was pulled over.
It was the first time she felt so panicked. She asked the boys surrounding her what they wanted.
The questions they asked were all vulgar.
She was extremely scared and tried to run, but was pulled back. Her knees hit the concrete floor and immediately started bleeding.
Just when she was at her most helpless, Chen Yan appeared out of nowhere and rescued her.
Those people were very afraid of Chen Yan. After apologizing, they scattered and ran away.
Chen Yan's face looked very grim that day. When he took her to the pharmacy to treat her wounds, he didn't say a word.
Finally, with red eyes, Xu Tingyu asked him, "What on earth is going on? Why has everyone become so strange recently?"
Why were they acting strange?
Because that crazy Su Yue had been spreading rumors everywhere that Xu Tingyu had seduced her own older brother and slept with him.
It was said that Chen Yan had "caught them in the act" and discovered that she was involved with several boys at the same time.
In this rumor, besides Su Yi and Chen Yan, there were also several other boys.
Some people went to them for confirmation.
Except for Chen Yan, the others all admitted it.
They even vividly described their amorous affairs with Xu Tingyu.
Then gradually, the whole school knew about it.
Chen Yan couldn't bear to tell her the truth. He just told her,
"They're all crazy. From now on, if someone says something stupid to you, slap him first, then write down his name and tell me."
He had already given those people a warning, but the rumor had spread too widely. He couldn't stop everyone's mouths.
Seeing that he wasn't telling her the truth, Xu Tingyu got anxious. "What exactly happened? Is it related to what happened that night?"
Chen Yan still didn't say a word.
Stubborn as she was, she stopped asking and stood up to leave before the wound - dressing was finished.
Chen Yan quickly grabbed her. "Where are you going?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll find someone who will. Chen Yan, I'm the person involved. I have the right to know the truth."
She stopped and looked at Chen Yan with a stubborn and determined gaze.
Chen Yan had no choice but to vaguely tell her what had happened that day.
"Don't worry. The phone has been destroyed. There must be no photos leaked. All this is just Su Yue spreading rumors. I'll give her a warning."
When Chen Yan was saying those words, he was even afraid of polluting her ears. He really didn't know how Su Yi had the guts.
After hearing these words, Xu Tingyu slumped down on the steps in front of the pharmacy. Her face flushed and then paled.
After a long time, she suddenly said, "No wonder my mom has been acting so strange recently, always talking about my dressing."
Even more strangely, Su Yi never dared to come to their class again.
And Su Yue had also distanced herself from her a lot.
She had naively thought that, just as Su Yue had said, it was just a prank and they had just added some wine to her drink.
She never thought it was actually a date - rape drug.
This was far beyond the understanding of a teenage girl. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
Chen Yan felt heart - broken seeing this. He took off his coat and wrapped her in it.
"Listen, Xu Tingyu, this is not your fault. Besides, nothing actually happened. You don't have to be troubled by this."
"As for the Su family, leave it to me to handle, okay?"
He didn't even dare to touch her for fear of scaring her away.
But Xu Tingyu wasn't as fragile as he had imagined.
After trembling for a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Yan. "I'm going to call the police."
Chen Yan looked at her deeply and finally accompanied her into the police station.
The police took this matter very seriously.
They quickly obtained her medical records and also investigated the rumors at school.
So when they took the siblings Su Yue and Su Yi away one day, it caused quite a stir.
However, things didn't turn out the way Xu Tingyu had hoped, that the bad guys would get the punishment they deserved.
The Su family and the school both stepped in and took turns to talk to her.
Even Zhang Qiu was extremely angry about this.
"The matter was clearly resolved. If they were talking nonsense, you could have come back and told us. We would have transferred you to another school. Why did you call the police?"
Xu Tingyu was exhausted from the repeated talks. Seeing that even her mother wasn't on her side, she felt even more tired.
But she didn't think she was wrong.
This fourteen - or fifteen - year - old girl, seemingly delicate, had the clearest and brightest eyes. She would speak out when she felt wronged.
"But I'm not wrong. Why should I transfer schools? It was me who was drugged and me who was slandered. I'm the victim!"
But Zhang Qiu was so angry that she slapped her hard on the back.
"Do you know how important a girl's reputation is? The bigger this matter gets, the greater the impact it will have on you."
"In the future, everyone will look at you with prejudice. They won't think you're a victim. This matter is enough to nail you to the pillar of shame."
Zhang Qiu was so angry that she started crying.
Xu Jianmin was also smoking on the side with a very gloomy face.
The atmosphere at home was so oppressive that even the most beloved Xu Jia didn't dare to say a word.
Although Xu Tingyu was beaten, she still insisted that she was not wrong.
"I'm not afraid. I'm just not wrong. The ones who are wrong are them. They're despicable and vulgar. They're the ones who should be nailed to the pillar of shame."
She raised her head. Her eyes were full of tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
