Chapter 758: Chapter 758: A Fierce Clash
Liang Yin’s face changed, and she stood up, "Are they in the classroom now?"
The female classmate nodded, "Liang Yin, you better go and see!"
Liang Yin hurriedly packed up her books and ran towards the classroom.
As she reached the classroom door, from afar, Liang Yin saw a middle-aged couple standing at the door, shouting loudly, "No more studying! What’s the point of studying! Why should a girl study so much!"
"Girls should get married early! Getting married and having children is the best way!"
Liang Yin’s adoptive father was named Liang Sheng, and his wife, Yang Xue, both from Yan City.
The students in the classroom were originally watching the drama unfold, but one of them tried to offer some kind advice, almost getting angrily scolded by Yang Xue.
This made a few female classmates quite annoyed.
Especially Yang Xue’s phrase "Girls should get married early," which made many female classmates feel indignant!
Although, because of Chen Shanshan’s influence, Liang Yin had always been isolated in the class, but everyone has their limits. Seeing Liang Yin have such bizarre parents, they couldn’t just stand by and watch, and started to confront them.
"Why can’t girls study?"
"What era are we in, still talking about ’a woman’s virtue is lack of talent’? Nowadays girls should study, not just girls, boys too! Studying is the best way forward!"
"We study hard so that we can achieve something in life, not just to get married and have children, and stay at home cooking soup for a man!"
"That’s right! Liang Yin is not going with you! She’s staying here to study with us!"
"Liang Yin is a top student in science; her future is incredibly bright, you can’t just ruin it!"
Chen Shanshan, upon hearing this, said somewhat speechlessly, "Why are you arguing with people like this! They’re here to take their daughter back to their hometown; don’t meddle in their affairs! Don’t start conflicts with them."
A female classmate was already riled up, and hearing Chen Shanshan’s discouraging words, couldn’t help but feel a little upset, "Shanshan, we usually don’t mind you targeting Liang Yin, but this concerns basic human principles! We’re classmates after all, Liang Yin has a bright future, if she drops out and gets married now, her future is over!"
Chen Shanshan replied, "I’m just thinking about what’s good for you. When the teacher comes later, if they don’t know what’s happening and think you started the trouble, you’ll be compromising your own grades!"
Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down a lot.
Indeed, they shouldn’t be too impulsive.
After all, it has nothing to do with them.
Liang Yin came over, and everyone quieted down immediately.
Liang Sheng saw her and rushed over to grab her arm.
Liang Yin stepped back slightly, angrily saying, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Liang Sheng replied, "Liang Yin! You’re coming home with us!"
Yang Xue also said, "Yes! What’s the point of studying so much! We’re done with school, Liang Yin, listen and come back with Mom!"
Liang Yin was so ashamed and embarrassed that her eyes turned red, "No!"
As she spoke, she retreated into the classroom, "I won’t go with you!"
Yang Xue said, "Don’t think I don’t know you! You promised that you’d study in Beijing and send us $10,000 every month, but what happened, you didn’t keep your word! Last month’s money hasn’t been transferred to us yet! I heard you’re working part-time while studying in Beijing. Where’s your part-time money gone, huh!?"
Yang Xue had a typical poor mindset, all about money money money.
Liang Yin replied, "Didn’t I promise you!?"
Seeing more and more people gathering around the classroom, Liang Yin’s face flushed with embarrassment and shame, "I just missed one month’s payment, and you come chasing me to Beijing! What, are you afraid I’m not your biological child, and will sprout wings and fly away!"
Yang Xue’s eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking! We’ve raised you this big, treating you like our own daughter! And you’re suspecting us like this! You really think we’re only here for money! I’m worried you’re bullied while studying alone in Beijing, coming home with us would be so much better! This way, if you’re wronged, with mom and dad by your side, no one can bully you."
Yang Xue feared that the more Liang Yin studied, the harder she would be to control; moreover, she heard that a neighbor’s son went to study in the provincial city, and at 28, he was still testing everyone, making his family anxious!
At this age, if he got married early, his children would be in school!
In a small place like Yan City, the older the girls get, the less they’re valued!
How could they not be anxious?
Liang Yin said, "I won’t go with you! I’m staying in Beijing to study, I’m not going with you!"
Liang Sheng heard this, and lost his patience, walking over to Liang Yin with the intention to slap her.
Liang Yin dodged narrowly, but her ponytail was grabbed by the man and pulled straight out of the classroom, "Come with us!"
Liang Yin started struggling, "I won’t go! I won’t go!!"
All classmates were looking through the windows, either watching the drama, feeling nervous, hesitating, or sympathizing...
Liang Sheng saw that Liang Yin absolutely refused to go with them, and pushed her directly to the ground.
Liang Yin staggered, fell to the ground, and Liang Sheng came over, grabbed her collar, and dragged her hard towards the stairway.
Liang Yin cried out in shame and anger, "Let go of me!! Ugh ugh ugh... Let go of me!!"
Although, from a young age, Liang Sheng often resorted to violence with her, this was the first time in front of so many classmates.
She cried out desperately, "I don’t want to go home with you! I don’t want to..."
Liang Sheng angrily said, "I shouldn’t have let you study so much! Now you actually know how to defy your father!"
After saying this, he raised his hand high, about to slap her.
Liang Yin fearfully held her head, it was almost an instinctive reaction.
However, the expected slap never came down.
She blinked in confusion, seeing Liang Sheng looking to the right.
Liang Yin followed Liang Sheng’s gaze.
His raised hand was firmly held by a strong hand.
That hand was slender and jade-like, the knuckles slightly pale due to Yunli’s force.
Huo Linzhou appeared at some point, firmly gripping Liang Sheng’s wrist, his thin lips slightly parted, "Let go."
Liang Sheng was stunned for several seconds before responding, "Who are you!?"
Huo Linzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "I told you to let go!"
Liang Sheng attempted to break free, "I’m disciplining my daughter, what does it have to do with you! Who are you! Get lost!"
He forcefully pushed towards Huo Linzhou.
But Huo Linzhou swiftly dodged, then clenched his fist tightly and punched Liang Sheng hard in the face.
With a "bang," Liang Sheng fell to the ground.
Yang Xue’s eyes widened, making a fuss as she slapped her thigh and shouted, "A student has hit someone! A student from a prestigious university actually hit someone! Is anyone going to do something about it?"
Huo Linzhou ignored her tantrum and instead walked over to Liang Yin, helping her up.
Liang Yin’s face was covered in tears, "Huo..."
Huo Linzhou looked at her, a strange sense of pity rising in his heart.
