In fact, Qiao Zijin did not tell Ding Jiayi that after getting such an answer from the teacher, she was so angry that she rebutted the teacher. “I was beaten and my hair was cut to uneven lengths, yet the school was not able to find any clues. What if someone wants to kill me and they use the scissors on me instead of on my hair next time? Is this what the school will do as well?”
What Qiao Zijin said would inevitably cause panic among other students.
Everyone came to school to study and pick up skills, hoping that they could find a job and support themselves.
If someone was killed in the school, and the students were no longer safe in school, nobody would dare to study at the school!
If their lives were in danger, it was useless to work and earn money.
Even if they did not take diploma studies and their highest education level was elementary level, as long as they were willing to work hard, it would not be difficult to get a job. The pay might not be high, but at the very least, they were safe.
Nobody would want to lose their lives for studying in school.
Since Qiao Zijin was hit on the back, no one could see the bruises on her back. Everyone only laughed at her hairstyle.
Now that Qiao Zijin made it sound to be very serious, everyone could not help but panic. Everyone was fearful of dying.
The teachers were unhappy that Qiao Zijinjin caused such an uproar in the school. Initially, the teacher was sorry that they could not help Qiao Zijin, but now, the teacher was angry and turned sullen. “Our school has been established for more than ten years. There has never been such an incident in the past. There are so many students and nobody has ever been targeted. Why is it that you are the only person who was taught a lesson?”
The teacher meant that there must be something wrong with Qiao Zijin. Otherwise, why would the person beat her instead of other students?
“You are shirking responsibility!” Qiao Zijin was furious. She was beaten and her hair was cut to uneven lengths. Clearly, she was the victim.
Qiao Zijin felt that the school had to bear a huge responsibility regarding this incident. She was upset at encountering such an unlucky incident. At the same time, she felt that the school should compensate her.
Since she was dating Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin had no need of any material compensation. She only wanted to have a good reputation at school, be awarded scholarships, or be crowned as an outstanding student at school.
Qiao Zijin was still young and did not know the ways of the world, and Ding Jiayi was not around to act the role of the lashing parent. As a result, Qiao Zijin unknowingly adopted Ding Jiayi’s unreasonable attitude instead of the usual pitiful looking attitude that she always used to her advantage.
“Alright, we shan’t shirk responsibility. Since you want to find out the culprit, why don’t you tell us who you have offended so that we will know who the suspects are?”
“I didn’t offend anyone!” Qiao Zijin denied that she had provoked anyone else.
The teacher smiled in anger. “If that is the case, please be patient with us. Our school will look into it. As for what happened today, we will take measures to ensure that it will not happen again.”
In the teacher’s opinion, they would not find any clues about this incident.
The children nowadays were very cunning. They had yet to join the workforce and they were already far more scheming than the adults.
Given Qiao Zijin’s temper, the teacher felt that she must have antagonized other people to have incurred their wrath.
The teacher knew that Qiao Zijin’s roommates received a text message beforehand. That was why they came downstairs to fetch Qiao Zijin. The text message was not sent from Qiao Zijin’s cell phone. The teacher suspected that it was sent by the person who beat Qiao Zijin.
The culprit went soft with the punches. The culprit also cut Qiao Zijin’s hair and sent the text message. The purpose was very clear.
This must be a personal grudge.
The culprit did not go overboard and it was Qiao Zijin who returned late in the night. She reeked of alcohol when her roommates helped her back to the dormitory. The teacher had no liking to a student like her.
Qiao Zijin felt wronged that she was beaten and her hair was cut to uneven lengths. Since the teacher did not comfort her, she could only complain to Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi turned green after knowing what happened. That wretched girl really did it!
“Don’t cry anymore. My heart aches for you. Perhaps this is an accident?” Even though Ding Jiayi figured out what was going on, she dared not bring it up to Qiao Zijin.
She knew that if she told Qiao Zijin the truth—that she was the one who landed Qiao Zijin in this trouble—Qiao Zijin would certainly blame her for it.
“If it’s an accident, there won’t be a second time. Didn’t you say that your hair looks messy? Why don’t you spend some money to go for a haircut? In fact, short hair looks cool on you.”
“I would need money to have a good haircut.” Qiao Zijin did not want to have a simple haircut at a few yuan only.
“I will transfer one hundred yuan to your account. You can have a nice haircut. Stop crying.” Ding Jiayi knew what Qiao Zijin meant. She had no choice but to transfer one hundred yuan to her.
After giving Qiao Zijin one hundred yuan, it would mean that Ding Jiayi could not have any meat dishes in the next half a month. She had no choice but to buy two boxes of instant noodles from the wholesale market for her meals in the next half a month.
The only slight change to her meals would be an addition of a sunny-side up.
Ding Jiayi had too many instant noodles that she felt like throwing up. She ate the noodles in dark silence and could not help but cry.
Ding Jiayi wiped the tears off her face, but she had no idea why she cried or what she was crying for.
She felt that this kind of life was not what she wanted.
She should not have gone her separate ways with Old Qiao. He should not have filed for a divorce as well.
If so, Old Qiao would accompany her when she was having her meals. With Old Qiao around, they would have meat dishes to eat and she would not have to resort to eating instant noodles every single day.
All that said, Qiao Nan, that wretched girl, had to be blamed. She caused her to end up in a divorce and lose her family. She was even heartless enough to use such evil methods on her sister.
Ding Jiayi finished the instant noodles quickly. Her heart was filled with hatred.
She needed to eat in order to be strong. She had to demand an explanation from that wretched girl. She wanted to know why she was so heartless and did that to Zijin.
After Ding Jiayi was divorced, she put all her attention on her beloved daughter, Qiao Zijin. She had no contact with Qiao Nan.
She made a Herculean effort to get Qiao Nan’s contact number.
She even went looking for Qiao Dongliang in order to get Qiao Nan’s contact number.
Qiao Dongliang was surprised when he heard that Ding Jiayi wanted to show her concern and contact Qiao Nan.
