Chapter 82: Gu Mang Was My Goddess

Backstage, there was a dead silence.

Lu Chengzhou had heard of the case before. It was big news and pretty serious. Because the offender was mentally ill he didn’t receive a heavy sentence and it caused a huge controversy. It was also because of this case that everyone began to pay attention to loopholes in the law and worked on closing them.

There were no more traces of this case on the Internet now. Perhaps the authorities had removed all the related information in order to protect Meng Jinyang. Gu Mang closed her eyes and her breathing was heavy.

Meng Jinyang’s voice brought back nightmares that had haunted her for many years, tearing at her mind. The girl was lying on the ground, covered with scars. All Gu Mang could see was her.

“Later I was discharged from the hospital and went to school. There were boys in school who laughed at me and lifted my clothes to see my ostomy bag. They ridiculed me. Gu Mang beat them up and ended up getting expelled.” Meng Jinyang’s eyes were red and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Many parents looked at Meng Jinyang in shock. Apparently they had heard about this case as well and their eyes were filled with sympathy. But there were other parents who looked at Meng Jinyang just like the boys did back then at school. It was a look of disgust as though Meng Jinyang were a piece of dirt.

The good and the evil were clearly distinguishable.

Meng Jinyang continued, saying, “I’m standing here today and talking about this because I don’t think that I should hide from people just because of what happened. As long as I live, life would treat me well. Moreover, it’s the perpetrator who should be the target of scorn. It is he who deserves to be punished by the law and he is the one who should be looked at with disdain. I was the victim.”

The large assembly center went silent.

“In the same way, Gu Mang is not in the wrong. She isn’t a bad student and she is my goddess,” Meng Jinyang said, solemnly and clearly. After taking a deep breath, her tone mellowed. “That’s all I want to say. If anyone doesn’t believe me, you can ask Gu Yin of Class One. Thank you, everyone.”

All the teachers looked with astonishment as Meng Jinyang bowed and walked away.

They couldn’t imagine how much courage it took for a seventeen year old girl to recount such a story.

In fact, in the years since the incident Meng Jinyang’s life had also returned to normal. As long as she didn’t say anything, no one would ever know that something like that had ever happened to her.

She didn’t need to remember the nightmare either.

But she said it for Gu Mang.

Because Gu Mang saved her life.

…

On the screen everyone watched Meng Jinyang leave the stage but Principal Fu was still stunned as he watched, expressionless.

Lu Chengzhou had been watching Gu Mang while holding her cold hand.

Gu Mang slowly opened her frosty eyes. The fierce aura had not subsided but instead had grown even colder.

The raised corner of her eyes gave off a bad vibe.
