"That isn't the main issue right now . " The youngster's outrageously good looks reflected the rays seeping through the window . "Your daughter has been bullied, how are you going to protect her?"
Mother Li paused, her face darkening . "What's with the police, why are outsiders allowed to hear this? Aren't we ordinary folks entitled to privacy?"
Director Huang was at a loss for words .
Wu Zhen went by the books, taking a glance at Qin Mo before turning towards the youngster, "Those who aren't involved in this case, please leave to prevent disruption . "
Qin Mo frowned .
Fu Jiu laughed, her lips slightly teasing . "Who said I wasn't involved? The victim is my girlfriend, as an unofficial family member, I would have to take a statement as well . "

Wu Zhen was stumped .
Mother Li glanced at Li Mengran before turning to look at Fu Jiu, her chest heaving as she inhaled deeply . "My decisions are to protect my daughter, you are too young to understand the consequences of gossips . No one would have wanted this to happen and fortunately, nothing bad happened to Mengran . I have faith in the police and believe that even if my daughter doesn't take action, they would still be locked up . Didn't the livestream already expose their crimes? In less than a year, both of you will be taking the high school examinations, if this incident were to blow up, there would be a negative impact on Mengran, so… we will not sue . "
She forced out the last sentence .
Her words sent the room into a dead silence .
Afterward, Qin Mo's cold and clear voice broke the silence, "The victim has the final say whether or not to sue, not her parents . "
Li Mengran was still focused on Fu Jiu, the youngster beneath the sun rays .

Mother Li tugged on her hand, her intentions obvious .
Li Mengran inhaled deeply, swallowing through her closed-up throat .
In the end, she decided to succumb . "Yes, we will not sue . "
At that moment, Li Mengran was afraid to see the disappointment in the youngster's eyes, but there wasn't any .
Instead, that person directed the same familiar tender gaze at her .
Eventually, humans would endure for those important to them, regardless of their grievances .

Hence, regardless of Li Mengran's decision, Fu Jiu would remain supportive .
Mother Li felt horrible as well, she pressed onto her daughter's palm, apologizing twice, "I'm sorry . "
There wasn't a parent that didn't love their child; they just expressed it differently .
If it was Fu Jiu, she would do all in her power and endure all the criticism just to fight until the last breath .
But it was clear that Mother Li had other worries that she didn't dare to voice out .
Those worries had already been accounted for at the beginning of Fu Jiu's plans .
Deputy Fu was a superior a few ranks above Li Mengran's father, so her decision wasn't wrong .
Maybe Mother Li was right, they were too young to understand the horrors of gossip .
Li Mengran still got all her life in front of her .
If the incident was exposed, she would have to carry it for life .
Fu Jiu agreed as this was the reality .
Hence, most of the people who chose to stay silent weren't succumbing to cowardice, but were enduring for a better life — but some people just didn't want to let them go .
