Lu Fang saw the girl and ran out somewhat indignantly, "You're talking nonsense. Everyone knows you like Zhan Jinzhi. He's handsome, and you girls can't wait to curry favor with him. Your words can't be trusted."
"That's right, I like Zhan Jinzhi, but I can also distinguish between right and wrong. Just like Auntie said, no matter what, we are still righteous children. How can we stand by and do nothing when such a thing happens?"
This public declaration made Zhan Jinzhi clear his throat uncomfortably. While he was grateful that the girl stood up for him, such a bold confession was a bit too much.
The girl then turned to the other students, "Song Feifei, Yi Yao, you saw it too. Do you think I'm lying?"
The two girls clearly hadn't expected to be called out, but they were obviously not that brave.
"Don't you remember that guy bullied you too? Do you want to see him bully others again?"
Wei Yumeng found the girl very interesting – bold, brave, and very engaging.
She seized the opportunity to speak, "What she said is right. If you are bullied and don't speak up, it will only make the wicked more brazen. But if you all stay silent, no one will ever bring you justice."
The students exchanged glances, seemingly contemplating what to do.
But the two girls who were called out eventually stood up, "That's right, we both saw it. Lu Fang started it."
With these girls leading the way, other students in the class quickly stood up.
"That's right, Lu Fang started it."
"Lu Fang is a repeat offender; he's bullied many people at school."
"Yes, he always relies on his family. Whoever he targets is always harassed for a long time."
Wei Yumeng smiled and said to the classmates, "Thank you all for your cooperation. It's precisely because of your justice that we know the truth."
Saying this, she turned to Mrs. Lu, "Don't you agree, Mrs. Lu?"
"Yes, Mrs. Zhan is right. I never expected things to be like this. I will definitely discipline my son properly."
"But before that, I hope your son can apologize to our Jinzhi, and also to the students he bullied."
Zhan Jinzhi and the other students looked at Wei Yumeng in surprise.
"Mom, I don't—why should I apologize to them? They're just..."
Lu Fang was about to say more, but Mrs. Lu interrupted him.
"What else do you want to say? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?" Mrs. Lu pushed Lu Fang, making him stand on the podium, "Apologize quickly!"
Lu Fang bit his lower lip, clearly still resentful, but seeing his mother's expression, he dared not resist.
"Everyone, I'm sorry." He then turned to Zhan Jinzhi and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhan Jinzhi said nothing, only turned and walked out of the classroom.
"Alright, the matter is now resolved. Thank you for coming, Mrs. Lu."
Despite everything that had happened, Wei Yumeng remained polite.
Mrs. Lu, on the other hand, was extremely embarrassed, "Mrs. Zhan, you are too kind. This is what we as parents should do. Rather, it's my son who has caused you trouble."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the matter was finally concluded.
Zhan Jinzhi had to continue with his classes, so he only saw Wei Yumeng to the school gate.
"By the way, Jinzhi, that girl is quite good," Wei Yumeng suddenly said. "She's very bold and brave. She's a good girl."
Zhan Jinzhi blushed furiously, caught off guard. He hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to suddenly bring this up.
"Mom, I don't know her at all."
Zhan Jinzhi explained, not only was he unacquainted, he didn't even know her name.
"It's okay if you don't know her now. She helped you today, after all. You should thank her."
Zhan Jinzhi nodded perfunctorily.
Wei Yumeng continued, "In the future, if you encounter such situations, Mom supports you continuing to do so. But there's one thing you need to be clear about: everything has its limits. Don't accidentally go too far."
Zhan Jinzhi's lips curved into a smile, "I know, of course."
Just then, Zhan Mohan arrived in his car. Wei Yumeng had originally told him not to come, as she could handle this matter, but Zhan Mohan was still worried.
"Mohan, the matter has been resolved," Wei Yumeng said with a smile.
Zhan Mohan saw that Wei Yumeng was in good spirits and felt that the matter must have been handled well, otherwise Wei Yumeng wouldn't have this attitude.
Zhan Jinzhi simply greeted Zhan Mohan and returned to class.
Zhan Mohan still asked Wei Yumeng what had happened. After listening, he agreed with Wei Yumeng's account, but if it were Zhan Mohan, he probably wouldn't have chosen such a roundabout method.
He would likely have caused Lu's enterprise to collapse on the spot.
Although the matter had passed, how could Mrs. Lu feel at ease? As soon as she saw Wei Yumeng, she knew she had offended a major power, as everyone knew the influence of the Zhan family.
She had initially planned to concede and end the matter with a few perfunctory words, but now it had escalated to involve the entire class. After the incident, although Zhan Jinzhi was fine, Lu Fang received a school disciplinary action and was now suspended from school.
"Mom! Are you really going to let this go?" Lu Fang was still angry. He had never been so humiliated.
Mrs. Lu gnashed her teeth in hatred. Although Lu Fang had indeed made mistakes in this matter, she also didn't believe that Lu Fang should have apologized in front of so many classmates.
Zhan Jinzhi was one thing, but the other children were all powerless. None of them could compare to their family. They were born inferior, which was simply a disgrace to Lu Fang.
Mrs. Lu felt an unnameable rage burning within her, which she had to vent.
Just then, she received a call from an unknown number.
Although she hesitated, she worried it might be an acquaintance who had changed numbers, so she finally answered.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Catherine on the other end smiled, "I am someone who is on the same front as you."
Mrs. Lu was puzzled, "I don't understand what you're saying."
"I heard that Wei Yumeng insulted your child today. Don't you want revenge? I have a way to help you achieve this."
Mrs. Lu was still somewhat skeptical, but soon she received several videos on her phone. Curiously, she opened them and watched the content.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She believed that these videos would be enough for her to get revenge, and by just sending out videos, no one would know it was her.
