Jiang Ling’er sneered. The previous owner of her body was incompetent, so Bai Xue had taken advantage of this to make a big fuss. She had lured the dean into a trap, and in order to make things seem genuine, she had even dragged Wen
Nuan into it.
Wasn’t she afraid of being exposed? Of course not. With Li Yan’s protection, Bai Xue was sure that the school would not do anything against her. In order to give the Jiang family an explanation, the school would definitely find a scapegoat. This made Bai Xue fearless.
However, Jiang Ling’er wasn’t about to let her off the hook so easily. Even if the school planned to let Bai Xue’s shenanigans slide, Jiang Ling’er would never agree to that. Bai Xue must be punished. Otherwise, she would become even more vicious in the future. Although Jiang Ling’er couldn’t make Bai Xue disappear forever, she could still tarnish that scheming woman’s reputation.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Dean, 1 understand if you’re willing to shoulder all the blame. But in any case, that would be a sole decision on your part and not what I have in mind. 1 want Bai Xue to confront me face-to-face. 1 want to know why she framed me!”
The vice-principal’s eyes flashed with shock. Jiang Ling’er was too ruthless.
The dean said nervously, “Jiang Ling’er, are you sure about this? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Li family by doing this?”
Wen Nuan said, “Dean, Li Yan is indeed from the Li family, but Bai Xue isn’t from the Li family. She’s just Li Yan’s girlfriend. Besides, we’re not asking Li Yan to confront us. We’re asking Bai Xue to explain herself.”
The dean was dumbfounded. ‘Is Miss Wen suggesting that the Li family has yet to acknowledge Bai Xue’s status in the family?’
The homeroom teacher did not say anything. Hearing that it was Bai Xue who had framed Jiang Ling’er, she immediately felt a headache. Bai Xue was depicted as a gentle and beautiful girl. Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, was portrayed as an incompetent fool. However, as the homeroom teacher, how could she not know the truth? Bai Xue held a stellar reputation in the public’s eyes, but the homeroom teacher knew that she wasn’t a good person.
What shocked the homeroom teacher the most was actually Jiang Ling’er. This girl had hidden her abilities so well. Most of the other students thought that Jiang Ling’er was a pushover, but it turned out that all of them were wrong.
Elder Jiang said, “You’re just asking the Bai girl to come over and explain everything. You’re not punishing her, so what are you afraid of? If you’re protecting a slanderer just because you’re afraid of offending someone, then you truly deserve to lose your job!”
The vice-principal weighed the pros and cons. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Call Bai Xue over.”
The homeroom teacher nodded and walked out. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her. She wasn’t biased against Jiang Ling’er, either.
After a while, the homeroom teacher brought Bai Xue back to the office.
Seeing that everyone here was on Jiang Ling’er’s side, Bai Xue immediately panicked.
Fortunately, when she realized that Wen Nuan was being called for an investigation earlier, she had immediately asked Li Yan to come over. Otherwise, she might really suffer a huge loss.
The vice-principal said, “You don’t need to panic, Bai Xue. We asked you to come here to fully understand what happened.”
Bai Xue responded, “Vice-principal, just ask me whatever you want.”
The vice-principal said, “We need to verify your report. Can you produce any evidence?”
Bai Xue fell silent. After a while, she pretended to be uncertain and said, “Actually, I’m not sure about this. There’s just a high chance that it’s true.”
When the dean heard this, his eyes were filled with anger as he cursed inwardly, ‘What are you talking about?! When you reported it, you were so certain about it!’
The dean barked furiously, “Bai Xue, how could you lodge a serious report without being absolutely certain about it? Did you not think about the consequences?”
“Dean, why are you so fierce?” Bai Xue said with a wronged expression. “Although I made the report, I didn’t specifically say that it was Jiang Ling’er.”
When the dean heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He threw the report in front of Bai Xue and said, “If you weren’t so sure, we wouldn’t have asked Jiang Ling’er to come here. Now that we’ve proven that your report is false, what else do you have to defend yourself?”
Bai Xue panicked even more. She knew that the report was fake. Li Yan’s assistant had already investigated the information Wen Nuan had given to Jiang Ling’er and found that it had nothing to do with the exam. She had deliberately reported Jiang Ling’er just to mess with her.
If she succeeded, not only would she vent her anger, but she would also tarnish Jiang Ling’er’s reputation. After all, Jiang Ling’er had always been considered a foolish troublemaker. It wouldn’t be strange if she got involved in a cheating incident.
Since everyone thought Jiang Ling’er was a bad student, no one would believe that she honestly got first place.
However, the last thing Bai Xue expected was for the school to be willing to risk offending the Li family. They had even investigated this matter and asked her to confront them..
