Chapter 3163 - Innocence 78
After Dongyu had given his statement, he was taken home.
Two harrowing days later, the police called and said that the Fang family had agreed to settle.
"You guys are really lucky, being able to come to a settlement after offending the Fang family!"
After learning that Dongyu and Su Qi were fine and had only suffered some minor injuries, the Fangs didn't pursue the matter. They were probably afraid that I would blow things up.
I really had no idea how much courage I must have mustered to stand before them and confront them head-on.
I only knew that I was willing to risk even my life to protect Dongyu.
However, that Dongyu got into a fight was a fact. When the school found out about this, they decided to expel him.
Dongyu was in his third year of high school. With his outstanding results, he would definitely have been able to enter a key university overseas.
My parents had worked hard to save up money, in hope that he would be able to get into Stanford University. Now, this was a sudden blow to them.
At that time, university admissions were very strict on student records. If it was a B grade, it would mostly be rejected.
Many well-known universities only had a few places. Even if they met the cut-off score, they would still have to compete on merit. The student's character would then be taken into consideration.
As for the punishment for violating the rules, the impact was significant.
My father was furious. He made use of various connections and finally managed to secure a meeting with the principal. He promised repeatedly that Dongyu would not violate any rules for the next half semester.
Hence, the teacher took note and allowed Dongyu to stay on in school, and if he were to perform well during the college entrance examination, his bad record would be removed.
On the other hand, I was in a bad situation.
There was a message from the school that they required me to transfer.
I'd lagged behind in my homework, and on top of this, I had skipped classes and stayed out all night. The school had the intention of expelling me.
For some time, my mother struggled with this matter of my transfer.
Then one day, when I returned to the study room after a shower, I saw my mother sitting at the desk with my diary in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on me and she was shaking with anger.
My chest tightened and I rushed forward, snatching the diary back and hugging it tightly.
"Mom, the diary is my privacy, how can you peek at it!?"
"Privacy?! Peek at it?!"
My mother stood up, her gaze turning frosty. "It's all thanks to your privacy. It's all thanks to me peeking at it! Otherwise, I wouldn't know what kind of dirty thoughts you have towards Dongyu!"
Dirty…
The words she used had me completely defeated!
I gripped the edge of the diary tightly as tears streamed down my face!
"Yin Xiachun, do you still know what shame is? Who is Dongyu to you? He's your biological brother! How can you have such thoughts about him? Don't you feel any shame? Have you no shame?"
Halfway through her sentence, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and cried out in anger.
When I saw this, I stood there guiltily. I wanted to explain, but no words came.
"Do you not know this is incest?"
I almost screamed, "I know!"
She froze, and then there was an eerie silence between us.
I didn't dare to look at her. I just leaned against the wall and cried.
My mother suddenly stood up and acted calm as she said to me, "It just so happens that I discussed with your aunt a few days ago to send you abroad to study. I think you've lost your mind. It's time to send you abroad. It's time you wake up!"
I was stunned upon hearing this.
