Chapter 120 Do I not even have the right to make friends?
I didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately questioned them.
"Did you orchestrate the Song family's affairs?"
Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, readily admitted it with a calm expression.
"I did it, but so what? It's because they're incompetent."
A surge of anger welled up inside me, and I gritted my teeth and cursed a few times.
"Jiang Yichen, your methods are becoming increasingly dirty and shameless."
Jiang Yichen didn't seem to care at all and continued to threaten me.
"Gu Mo, if you don't behave yourself, I will continue to be shameless."
I know it's impossible to get him to stop.
My heart was immediately filled with guilt; I had hurt Song Le once again.
Seeing the smug look on the person in front of me, I became even angrier and argued back vehemently.
"Song Le and I are just friends, nothing more. Do you think I don't even deserve to be friends?"
Even after I said that, Jiang Yichen remained unmoved, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
"Friends? Gu Mo, you need to understand that everything you have now is given to you by me. It should be up to me to decide who you should befriend."
I just think Jiang Yichen is being incredibly unreasonable.
He sponsored my schooling, that's true, but that doesn't mean he can control my life at will.
I decide what kind of life I want to live.
I felt even more unwilling, so I looked up and met his gaze, stubbornly speaking.
What if I insist on not listening to you?
Perhaps expecting such a response, Jiang Yichen didn't take it to heart and continued his warning.
"The Song family is just a reminder. You should know what the consequences will be for disobeying me."
His words instantly made my heart sink.
I just feel that our relationship is extremely unequal.
He can get engaged to Lin Nan, while I don't even have the right to be his friend.
I know he hates me and it's understandable that he wants revenge, but he shouldn't involve other people in this.
It's even more inappropriate to involve Song Le.
Seeing his domineering and arrogant demeanor, I knew that the situation of the Song family could no longer be changed.
At least I have no power to change it.
I knew I was no match for Jiang Yichen, so I could only lower my stance and ask, "What do you want from me to let the Song family go?"
Jiang Yichen frowned in displeasure and retorted directly, "Group owner, why are you so concerned about the Song family?"
Seeing his misunderstanding, I explained, "I just don't want to involve my friends. If you have any complaints, you can come at me directly."
My words were met with humiliation from Jiang Yichen.
He snorted coldly, full of disdain, and said, "Gu Mo, you are useless and have no value whatsoever."
I remained silent as I listened to his words.
Perhaps my reaction didn't get him the result he wanted, so Jiang Yichen got bored and sent me away.
After leaving his office, I went straight to Song Le.
He was somewhat surprised when he saw my invitation, but he still agreed.
We found a coffee shop nearby.
As soon as I sat down, I lowered my head and said to him with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, Song Le, it's my fault that I harmed the Song family."
Seeing my appearance, Song Le looked distressed and gently comforted me, "It's alright, this has nothing to do with you. The Song family is already trying to make amends."
That being said, I haven't gotten any better.
After thinking it over, I looked up at him and said decisively, "Song Le, how about we stop contacting each other in the future, so you won't get dragged into this mess again?"
Upon hearing my words, he almost immediately retorted, "How can that be? This matter has nothing to do with you."
Even though he refused, I remained firm in my decision and repeated myself.
"You don't need to try to persuade me. I won't see you again."
Song Le was unwilling to continue the tug-of-war with me.
Just then, my phone rang.
It was my mom on the phone.
I answered the phone, and I heard my mother's anxious voice coming from the other end.
"Momo, please save your mother."
My heart clenched instantly, and I quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
My mom didn't answer; she just kept repeating what she had just said.
The call was immediately disconnected.
Upon discovering this situation, I immediately became extremely anxious.
I ignored Song Le and got up to take a taxi.
Seeing me like this, Song Le offered to give me a ride.
In the heat of the moment, I did not refuse.
I arrived at the construction site with Song Le. As soon as I entered, I saw a person lying on the ground.
For some unknown reason, the person remained motionless.
Besides, there was some blood around her, and it looked like she had fallen from a height.
Just then, I heard a commotion in the distance.
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of workers gathered together, talking about something.
I quickly went over and found that the person surrounded by a group of workers was actually my mother.
Without thinking, I broke through the crowd and rushed in, shielding my mother behind me and blaming the people in front of me.
"What are you all doing? So many of you are bullying my mother?"
As soon as my mother saw me, she reacted as if she had suddenly grasped a lifeline, her voice trembling with tears.
"Momo, you've finally arrived."
The other workers around him didn't think they had done anything wrong; instead, they continued to criticize him.
“Your mother pushed someone off the second floor, your family has to take responsibility.”
"See those people lying over there? It's all your mother's fault."
“Your mother is a murderer, we are teaching her a lesson.”
Faced with a barrage of accusations, my mother kept shaking her head, vehemently denying them.
“I didn’t do that. I didn’t push her. I didn’t push her at all.”
Unfortunately, even if they denied it, their words were quickly covered up by other people's gossip.
The few words spoken by the people around me made it difficult for me to understand the specific situation, but even so, I tried my best to remain calm.
"Enough, all of you shut up."
I suddenly raised my voice, startling the other workers.
Although they showed dissatisfaction, they did not confront me directly.
After things calmed down a bit, I turned around and asked my mom about the situation.
"Mom, what happened? What's going on?"
My mother grabbed my hand and said urgently.
“Momo, you have to believe me. I really didn’t do anything. They’re just slandering me.”
Although I don't know exactly what happened, I know for sure that my mom would never do something like that to deliberately harm someone.
"Don't worry, Mom. As long as you didn't do it, I won't let anyone wrong you."
I was like a pillar of support for my mother, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
But when the people around me heard me say that, they immediately became dissatisfied.
They kept criticizing them with a few words.
“You’re all family, so you definitely won’t want to admit it if something happens.”
"Don't even think about protecting your mother here. We have so many eyes watching."
"If you do something, you have to take responsibility. Don't think about running away easily."
The chatter around me was so annoying that I immediately frowned, my gaze sweeping over each of their faces as I spoke coldly.
“If it really is my mother’s fault, then we will definitely not shirk our responsibility and we will take full responsibility. But if it is not, I will sue all of you who are spreading rumors.”
When they met my firm gaze, the people around them suddenly hesitated.
"It was your mother's fault to begin with!"
Someone in the crowd stirred things up with a comment, reigniting the workers' discontent.
I'm too lazy to argue with them anymore. Who's right and who's wrong will be decided in time. The important thing right now is to get the injured people to the hospital.
"Call an ambulance first, we can talk about everything else after she wakes up."
After making arrangements for the injured, I also rushed over with my mother.
