Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

218 218 Are You Going To Take The Blame?

“Well, you can just tell the others about this and see if anyone will believe you. I’ll be fine, but you’ll have to stay in prison for years. You still have to take care of your sickly mother. Without you, your mother will probably die very soon.

“Besides, you’re just a girl who hasn’t graduated from high school and is now imprisoned for such crimes. What job would you be able to find in the future and is there anyone who would marry you? Just think about your future.”

Li Jia clenched her fists. “Tan Jing!”

“So, have you thought about it carefully?”

!!

Tan Jing was bored and blew at her newly done manicure. “Are you going to plead guilty or not?”

Li Jia lowered her head and took a deep breath. She felt like her lungs were about to explode. It was all her fault for meeting such a bad person. How could she have made such a friend? She should not have listened to Tan Jing and messed with Tan Rou. Both of them were trouble free but she was the one who ended up in jail.

Regret! Li Jia was extremely regretful.

If she was given another chance, she would never fawn on Tan Jing, this vicious woman! She would study hard and not think about taking shortcuts all day long. Wasn’t Wei Ling’s end tragic enough? She had already witnessed what happened to Wei Ling but she was still like a greedy moth, flying toward the man-eating flames without any regard for her own safety.

“Li Jia, you don’t have to think about it anymore.” Tan Jing spoke again. “The money I’m giving you will guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Where can you find such a good deal?”

Li Jia suddenly laughed. “Why don’t you want such a good thing for yourself?”

“Ha!” Tan Jing’s face turned cold. “Don’t be so ungrateful. Otherwise, you’ll get nothing in the end.”

Li Jia closed her eyes and gave up. “Promise me that you’ll take good care of my mother. Otherwise, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost.”

Tan Jing nodded in satisfaction.

“You should have agreed to it from the beginning. Don’t worry, I’ll help you take care of your mom. I’ll also help you find a lawyer, the best lawyer, to try to reduce your sentence.”

When time was up, the police came over to take Li Jia back. Just as Li Jia was about to leave the room, Tan Jing suddenly started acting again.

“Jiajia, you stay in there and get better. I will help you take care of Auntie. Don’t make any more mistakes!” Tan Jing rubbed her eyes that were now filled with tears.

Li Jia could hear the threat in her voice. Tan Jing warned her not to say anything. If she did, her mother might…

The door behind her closed. Then, Li Jia heard the female police officer on guard say, “This young girl is quite a good friend. Not only did she persuade her not to do anything wrong, but she also promised to take care of her mother.”

“It’s a pity that she did not learn from her friend. She would be able to make more friends now that she’s locked inside. I heard that the girl that was the victim this time was a classmate of hers.”

“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. She looks so clean and refined, but I didn’t expect her to be so dark inside.”

Li Jia bit her lips, and blood oozed out. She was angry! She didn’t do it, but yet she had to take the blame! The best years of her life had to be spent in a dark prison. By the time she came out, her life would have been ruined.

She had once dreamed of being admitted to a top university, but now she would never be able to enter any university in this life. All of this was because of that vicious woman, Tan Jing! One day, one day, she would make Tan Jing pay the price!

Li Jia lay on the bed and hit her head against the headboard. She swore with her life that she would be unworthy of being a human if she did not take revenge!

The police quickly issued a notice after an investigation. As soon as the notice was released, the comments on the internet immediately changed.

“Are all high school students capable these days? How big of a conflict did they have to be to spread such vicious rumors? I remember that when we were studying, we would just ignore each other if there was a conflict. Kids these days are so cruel!”

“This young girl is a role model for our generation. She remains calm even after being criticized like this. No wonder she’s the best in her school.”

“I’ve also been attacked by people on the internet before, so I suffered from depression. If I were as brave as her, I wouldn’t have to take medicine now.”

Li Li no longer had to fight with the rumor mongers on the internet. She excitedly showed Tan Rou the one-sided comments on the internet. “Rou, look, your innocence has been proven!”

Tan Rou’s expression was indifferent. “Yes, I saw it.”

“The truth is out now. Why are you still upset?” Li Li asked, puzzled by her lack of interest.

When Tan Rou heard this, she glanced in Tan Jing’s direction. When Tan Jing came to school this morning, she looked dazed. Those who didn’t know would think that Tan Jing was really sad for what happened to her friend.

“Happy? We only got the scapegoat, what’s there to be happy about?” Tan Rou flipped through the book calmly.
