Chapter 30
chapter 30 - Self-Defense (正当防卫)
Teacher Jin’s face was full of unease . She believed that the reason why Jing Yunzhao did such a thing today was because she was under too much stress after what had happened yesterday .
“Jing Yunzhao, what exactly happened?” Teacher Jin asked in a strict tone .
Jing Yunzhao didn’t think Teacher Jin was acting unreasonably, especially since Teacher Jin was known to be a fair person . Her not blaming Jing Yunzhao right from the start was already a sign of her trust in Jing Yunzhao .
“Teacher Jin, I was in the wrong for using violence . I apologize for that . ” Jing Yunzhao faced the swollen-faced Lu Jia and said, “I’m sorry . ”
However, before anyone else could say anything, Jing Yunzhao continued, “But I don’t regret what I did . Plus, I only did it as a means of self-defense . ”
Teacher Jin was dumbfounded at that moment .
“What do you mean? Could it be that…Lu Jia was the one who attacked first?” the teacher from Cla.s.s Two asked suspiciously .
Lu Jia at that moment was crying so hard she couldn’t catch her breath, and her face was also scarily swollen . She couldn’t even let out a single word .
“When I entered the school today, Lu Jia unreasonably began to talk badly of me . I responded with a few sentences . Then I don’t know why but she started pointing at me and calling me a b.a.s.t.a.r.d . Teacher, it’s not my fault my biological parents left me . Aren’t everyone a b.a.s.t.a.r.d the moment they’re born? If you were to experience this kind of mistreatment, wouldn’t you be mad too?” Jing Yunzhao spoke with reason .
“That’s why you hit her?” asked Teacher Jin .
If that was the reason then Jing Yunzhao’s actions weren’t exactly unreasonable, but she went too far .
“No . ” Jing Yunzhao’s expression was firm . “Her words were too dirty so I responded which made her mad . She stretched out her hands to grab my face . You can all see the long length of her fingernails . If she were to really have gotten to scratch my face, it’s definite that my face would have been ruined . I couldn’t just let her abuse me verbally and physically so I hit her back . However, I didn’t know that she’s only a paper tiger . She attacked first but she just wasn’t able to hit me . ”
After Jing Yunzhao finished, the teachers were speechless .
They couldn’t help but glance at Lu Jia’s nails . They were indeed frighteningly long .
“Lu Jia, did things really happens as Jing Yunzhao said?” the teacher of her cla.s.s was troubled .
Lu Jia nodded while crying and then shook her head, “I…I didn’t hit her…”
Not only did she not hit her, the hands she reached out were stopped and locked . In the end, Jing Yunzhao was the only one who got to strike .
“The reason why you didn’t hit me was because I dodged in time . But what if my reflexes weren’t as quick? You should know what physical appearances mean to a girl!” Jing Yunzhao said coldly without holding back .
The teachers suddenly felt that Jing Yunzhao was different from the past .
In the past, she was always a quiet person in front of the teachers . She always went with the flow and followed instructions . When she suffered mistreatment, she wouldn’t say or do anything . If not for her good grades, the teachers probably wouldn’t even be able to remember her .
But now, she had a temperament . She had her own individual personality .
Having been reminded of appearance, Lu Jia held her own face and said . “Teacher…even so, she didn’t have to slap my face to a pulp like this…”
“I did ask her to apologize in the middle, but she wouldn’t do it . She continued to speak badly of me . Under these circ.u.mstances, losing the ability to think rationally would be common . Plus, if Lu Jia hadn’t provoked me in the beginning, I wouldn’t have done it . And the matter regarding those hooligans, I don’t know what it is about the situation that makes people like Lu Jia talk mindlessly about it . The truth had already been announced by the police, yet people are still speaking shameful rumors about me . Are they trying to make me suffer a second time?! Especially Lu Jia, I’ve already been affected mentally by her fabricating stories and causing messes . She might not be a legal adult, but if I were to bring this to court, her guardians would have to take responsibility, right?!”
