[Moreover, she transferred into our class out of the blue and comes from a single - parent family. Just think about how she managed to transfer in.]
Sophia gritted her teeth and posted the photos of me and my mother that had been doctored.
[My family member is a high - level official in the school. They told me that her mother slept with the school leaders to buy her a spot in the school.]
The post, which originally had only a small - scale popularity, quickly made it to the hot list.
[This woman not only sleeps with the school leaders, but also sleeps with her daughter!]
[It's so disgusting. Neither the mother nor the daughter is any good!]
The school leaders had no choice but to call me to the office for a talk:
"The matter about you has caused too much of a stir and had a very bad influence! The school has to expel you! Your father is a hero, but we can't cover up this kind of... behavior of yours!"
"Why should you expel me! What's being said online is all false. My mother and I are just an ordinary mother - daughter pair!"
I argued desperately, but the principal waved his hand impatiently.
"This matter has seriously affected the school's reputation. Expelling you now is the best outcome. Otherwise, if we dig deeper, we won't be able to cover up the matter of your mother sleeping with someone for favors!"
I felt a rush of blood to my head:
"My mother didn't sleep with anyone for favors! She goes out every day to work hard at the street stall to earn money. She's not the kind of person you're talking about!"
"All of this is Sophia's doing. She's trying to cover up the fact that she bought a fake watch and framed me. She's the one behind all this!"
But the principal ignored me, threw the expulsion notice at me, and walked away.
The rumors on the Internet were spreading like wildfire. Some netizens found out where my mother set up her street stall.
A group of people surrounded my mother, pointing fingers and hurling all kinds of filthy remarks at her.
My mother already had a heart condition. In a fit of anger, she fainted.
I took her to the hospital, but she held my hand and apologized to me:
"It's all mom's fault. I've dragged you down."
The doctor said that my mother's condition was very serious. The old illness had flared up. She had to have surgery immediately, and the cost was £200,000.
But all the money in the card had been used up. I could only call one person after another to borrow money.
But when I called, they either didn't answer or started scolding me as soon as they heard I wanted to borrow money.
"You and your mother have done such a disgraceful thing, and you still have the nerve to borrow money? Don't say you know me when you go out. It's embarrassing."
"You can borrow the money, but after your mother recovers, let her come and accompany me for a few days."
On the last day, I knelt at the hospital entrance, crying and kowtowing non - stop, begging them to give me more time.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the rain poured down. I kept kowtowing, and the blood spread along with the rain.
"Please, she's my only relative! She'll die if she doesn't get hospitalized. Please!"
The doctor waved his hand helplessly. "I can only help you buy another three days. If you still can't raise the money after three days, I can't do anything either."
I nodded gratefully. That night, I took a bus to the city. With my father's martyr certificate in hand, I rushed to the Provincial Public Security Department.
In front of the magnificent gate, I knelt upright, with a small box in front of me.
Soon, a person in uniform came out.
"I'm Emily, the daughter of martyr Jack. I want to see Director Li!"
