Chapter 595: Chapter 295 Going to the Police Station 2

The students all shrank back in fear.

"What are you yelling at the students for?" The police, who hated women like Zhou Lanfang, feared she might suddenly go mad and hurt the students, said, "Let’s go, anything you have to say, say it at the police station."

"Officer, I didn’t hit her, I really didn’t..."

Zhou Lanfang hurriedly explained.

"Officer, she really is my daughter. She’s just disobedient, and we were only educating her a bit," Shen Jianhua also quickly followed up with an explanation.

"Say it at the police station."

The police said sternly.

Under the authority of the police, Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang trembled as they followed to the police station, with Shen Mianmian and He Nan trailing behind.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she secretly winked at He Nan. Her acting was not bad, right?

"Show-off."

He Nan knocked her on the head.

Shen Mianmian gave a yelp, clutching her head. Hearing the noise, the police turned to look. Shen Mianmian pretended to sniffle.

Once the police had turned away, she playfully stuck her tongue out at He Nan.

They soon reached the police station, where Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang kept on explaining that they hadn’t hit anyone, they were just there to pick up their daughter to take her home.

Shen Mianmian stood quietly sobbing to the side, not joining in the conversation. The tears kept falling, one after another, stirring such sympathy from the officers.

When the police addressed her, she took a deep breath through her nose and, with a choked voice, said, "They didn’t come to take me home, they came to drag me back and forbid me from going to school. They don’t even give me living expenses, and I had to borrow money for tuition..."

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? You ungrateful wretch, do you want to land your dad and me in jail?" Zhou Lanfang, enraged by Shen Mianmian’s act, stood up to hit her but was stopped by several police officers.

"What are you doing? You want to hit someone in front of us, is that it?" The police detained Zhou Lanfang and rebuked her. Hitting someone in front of them would be a loss of face for the police.

Zhou Lanfang, reprimanded by the police, immediately calmed down, "Officer, don’t believe this girl’s words, she’s making all of this up, this girl doesn’t have a single truthful word in her mouth."

"So you speak the truth? We have never seen a mother call her own child a ’little bastard’ or ’ungrateful wretch.’ It’s not your turn to talk right now. Let her speak."

Zhou Lanfang wanted to explain but was silenced by a fierce glance from the police officer.

"They think because I’m a girl that if I study, it’s just a waste of money. Even though I got first place in the whole city, they won’t let me attend school. At home, they do nothing but hit and scold me. Officer, look at my arm, these are the marks from her beating and scolding."

Shen Mianmian rolled up her sleeves to reveal many marks on her arm, some new, some old, all overlapping.

Everyone was shocked to learn that Shen Mianmian was the city’s top student. Seeing the scars and old clothes on her body, and then looking back at the eyes of Shen Jianhua and his wife, they saw them differently.

The top student in the city, with such good grades, they wouldn’t let her study, and now they were causing a scene at the police station. If the police didn’t handle it properly and word got out, what would that lead to?

As a result, they gave Zhou Lanfang a serious talking to, informing her that hitting a child is a crime, leaving Zhou Lanfang in a confused daze.

Finally, they told the couple that they must cover Shen Mianmian’s educational and living expenses, leaving Zhou Lanfang so angry her vision went black, nearly fainting.

"Officer, we simply don’t have the money for her to attend school. All the money in the house has been stolen by that wretched girl."
