Lin Jie had a face full of disdain. âMengqing, youâre really kind. Thatâs not a rumor at all but the truth. Look at Qiao Xi, she doesnât even dare to say anything. She must be tacitly agreeing to it!â
Yao Mengqing pretended to be kind and said, âXi Xi, donât blame Ah Jie. Heâs just too straightforward⦠If youâre not willing to talk about this, then I wonât ask you any further.
âAh Jie and I will pretend not to know about this.â
Qiao Xi sneered. These words were so magnanimous!
Pretending not to know about this matter meant that it did exist. It meant that Qiao Xi had indeed used the back door. Seemingly for Qiao Xiâs sake, Yao Mengqing said she would forget about it, making her seem gentle and considerate.
Qiao Xi asked casually, âWho did you hear it from?â
Yao Mengqing still said gently, âXi Xi, theyâre just rumors from the students in the university. Donât take them to heart. We all know that you worked hard to enter Li City University. Thatâs enough. With Ah Zheng around, you wonât be fired.â
âIâm afraid the two of you are mistaken.â Qiao Xi raised her eyes, and her gaze was filled with ridicule. She was already tired of looking at Yao Mengqingâs hypocritical face.
âI donât know where you heard the rumors, Miss Yao, but it seems you havenât found out that the person whoâs removed from Li City University isnât me.â
The smile on Yao Mengqingâs face vanished instantly.
Qiao Xi slowly said, âI was the champion of the International Real-time Translation Competition for five consecutive years and received the top international design award. Thatâs why the previous chancellor of Li City University specially recruited me into this university. At that time, more than ten famous universities in the country and abroad had extended invitations to me.
âBut Iâm from Li City, so I chose Li University in the end.â
Yao Mengqingâs expression changed. She was specially recruited?
The top international design award? And the champion of the International Real-time Translation Competition?
She blurted out, âXi Xi, you canât make up countless lies one after another. Even if you didnât take the college entrance examination, I wouldnât look down on youâ¦â
âWhy does Miss Yao think that Iâm lying? Could it be that you think Iâm not worthy of being the champion and receiving the design award?â
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully and said, âMiss Yao, youâll never be able to catch up to my accomplishments. Itâs understandable that you find it difficult to believe.â
Yao Mengqing immediately choked. She felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
Qiao Xiâs accomplishments would forever be beyond her reach?
This b*tch dared to mock her?
Yao Mengqing looked at Lin Jie pleadingly. Lin Jie snorted. âMore than ten famous universities invited you to join them? Donât lie!â
âIf you think Iâm lying to you, you can go and check. Young Master Lin, you should have that ability. Among the more than ten famous universities, one of them is the one Miss Yao wanted to enter back then but failed.â
Qiao Xiâs lips curled up.
Yao Mengqing was embarrassed and bit her lip.
Qiao Xiâs brows raised. âYoung Master Lin, if you still donât believe me, do you want me to help you investigate? Right, I also want to ask which university you graduated from? I wonder if you have the qualifications to speak to me?â
â¦
The atmosphere became awkward.
Lin Jie was uneducated. Although he had gone to a decent university, it was only because his family had spent a fortune on him. If he had relied on his own strength, he would not have been able to enter a university.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Qiao Xi spoke first, âYoung Master Lin, arenât you embarrassed for not saying anything? Let me remind you not to spread rumors in the future. Wang Qing, who spread rumors before this, has already been expelled. Could it be that you havenât heard about it?â
Lin Jieâs face turned green. He wanted to retort, but he was so angry that he could not say anything.
He was silent for a long time before he slowly stood up. He was strong and calm. âMengqing and I are just reminding you not to throw Ah Zhengâs reputation around. Since you donât appreciate our gesture, then forget it! Mengqing, letâs go!â
Yao Mengqing smiled helplessly. âXi Xi, Ah Jie is doing this for Ah Zhengâs sake. Heâs afraid that it wonât be good for Ah Zhengâs reputation. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, donât be angry anymore⦠I-Iâll leave with Ah Jie!â
She followed closely behind and was about to leave with Lin Jie.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. Were they in such a rush to leave because they were afraid she would look for trouble?
âSong Shijing,â Gu Zheng suddenly said.
Song Shijing walked over immediately and stopped them.. He said coldly, âIâm sorry, but you canât leave yet.â
