Chapter 6 — Fake Apology

Ha Mien Mien nodded: "I didn't have time to write the last part." Chu Linh immediately looked at me. "It's all her fault this morning! If her mother hadn't called the police, why would Mien Mien enter the exam room in such a hurry?" Doan Te Nguyet almost rushed forward. I pulled her back. Chu Linh seemed to have finally found a way out, her voice even louder: "Nguyen Tinh Ha, are you satisfied? You've finished the exam yourself, Mien Mien's essay hasn't been written yet!" The surrounding candidates took turns looking over. Can Suong quickly walked over. "Chu Linh, shut up." "Miss, you're too biased!" Tears welled up in Chu Linh's eyes. "Before the university exam, her mother reported to the police to scare others, affecting Mien Mien's state, don't you care?" Ha's mother rushed in from the parent waiting area. "I knew right away! My daughter was brutally harmed by it!" Parents outside the guard area began to discuss. Ha's mother pointed at me: "That's it! Last night stimulated my daughter, this morning she even called the police!" My mother also rushed forward, her face cold and scary. "Mrs. Ha, this morning the police told you to leave, didn't you understand?" "Don't threaten me with the police!" Ha's mother rushed towards me. Hua Chieu Da quickly stopped her. But he stopped Ha's mother, looking at me again. "Nguyen Tinh Ha, you go first." This sentence sounded like a guard. But in the next sentence, he lowered his voice: "Don't stimulate them anymore." Mom heard. She raised her hand and slapped Hua Chieu Da. A crisp echo. Everyone was quiet. Hua Chieu Da turned his face away, incredulous. The mother's palm turned red, but her voice remained steady. "If you say one more sentence of dirty water to my daughter, I will find your parents." Hua Chieu Da gritted his teeth: "Miss, I respect you, but you can't raise your hand." "Then report to the police." Mom gave him the phone. "Just kept talking about last night and this morning you forced my daughter to apologize." Hua Chieu Da did not accept. Ha Mien Mien cried even harder. "Auntie, Chieu Da only hurts me, why did you hit him?" Mom looked at her. "Because he is my daughter's boyfriend, but he always acts as a shield for me." Ha Mien Mien's face turned pale. The surrounding chatter changed. "Boyfriend?" "Then why does he keep going with other girls?" "Isn't it because he doesn't know how to keep his distance?" Hua Chieu Da finally panicked. "Mien Mien and I grew up together since childhood, I just take care of her." Doan Te Nguyet smiled coldly: "Caring to the point of letting her girlfriend officially apologize to her on the day of the university entrance exam?"Chu Linh still wanted to scold her. The head of the class led security guards to run over. "All candidates immediately leave the exam site, do not gather! There is still an exam in the afternoon!" The crowd was dispersed. Lunch break is located at a hotel near the school. Mom has booked a room. As soon as I sat down, Can Suong knocked on the door and came in. Her face was very gloomy. "Tinh Ha, after finishing the final exam, the school will handle the matter of last night and today." "Can't we handle it now?" "If we do it now, it will affect the afternoon exam." She paused for a moment. "But I can tell you, about this morning Chu Linh blocking the door, the police have recorded it. The photo she posted and the text message threatening me can also fix the evidence." Mom asked: "Isn't there a camera at the top of the stairs?" Can's face looked pale. Suong stiffened. "It's broken." Mom looked at her. "Before the university entrance exam, students had a dispute at the top of the stairs, the camera was broken, why didn't the school explain clearly last night?" Can Suong was asked until she had nothing to answer. The phone vibrates again. In the class group, Ha Mien Mien sent a message: "Sorry, I didn't do well on the test. Don't blame Tinh Ha, don't blame Chieu Da, he's just too honest." Below, someone quickly continued: "She even said to help Nguyen Tinh Ha, crying would kill her." "Nguyen Tinh Ha's whole family is so scary, even Chieu Da beat him." I gave the phone to my mother. Mom

just took a look, then dialed a phone number. "Hello, lawyer Truong. My daughter is constantly spreading rumors and harassment from her classmates. Today she is taking the university entrance exam." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hua Chieu Da's voice echoed through the door: "Tinh Ha, let's talk." Mom put her hand on the door handle. Outside the door, he said again: "If you don't come out, I will stand here forever." There are cameras in the hotel hallway. Mother opened the door, but did not let Hua Chieu Da in. She stood in the door and said coldly: "Speak." There were still traces of the slap on Hua Chieu Da's face. He saw my mother, his voice suppressing his anger. "Auntie, I want to talk to Tinh Ha alone." "I can't." "I'm her boyfriend." "Not anymore." After his mother said this, Hua Chieu Da's face became ugly. He looked at me: "Nguyen Tinh Ha, do you think so too?" At the end of the hallway, a student from the same school poked his head out to look. Ha Mien Mien stood at the bend, next to Chu Linh. They weren't close, but they heard clearly. I didn't go out. "Before the exam in the afternoon, I didn't talk in private." Hua Chieu Da held back his anger. "Mien Mien hasn't finished writing her essay yet, and now she's blaming herself a lot. Can you send her a text message, saying you don't blame her?" I almost thought I heard wrong.
