Chapter 73: No One Is Protecting Her?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even more shocking was that Bai Xue, who was known for her innocence and kindness, had maliciously reported Jiang Ling’er for cheating. In the end, the school had proven that her accusations were false, and as a result, she had publicly apologized to Jiang Ling’er. This made everyone doubtful. ‘Didn’t Bai Xue have an influential boyfriend? Why is no one protecting her?’
This incident caused Bai Xue’s reputation to plummet. She lost more than half of her fans in an instant.
After the morning assembly, the homeroom teacher accompanied Yue Ling and her parents to the train station.
While waiting for the train, Yue Ling’s father said, “Lingling, you have to remember what Father said. Don’t get too close to that Bai Xue. She’s very dangerous.”
Yue Ling’s mother argued, “She’s a nice girl. Maybe she made a mistake, just like Lingling.”
Yue Ling’s father glanced at his wife and said angrily, “You’re a woman with long hair but little brain cells. Lingling was almost punished because of Bai Xue’s instigation. Bai Xue is obviously not a good person.”

Yue Ling nodded and said, “Dad, my life was almost ruined because of Bai Xue. 1 won’t be fooled again.”
Yue Ling’s father said in approval, “It’s good that you know. Don’t be like your mother who thinks that everyone is a good person. You should focus on your studies now, and keep in mind that it’s not a good thing to compare yourself to others. You just have to be down-to-earth.”
Soon, the train arrived.
Yue Ling said, “Dad, I understand. The train is here. You guys go home first. I want to eat clams for dinner.”
“Alright, be careful,” said Yue Ling’s mother.
Yue Ling watched her parents get on the train before going back to school.
After the morning assembly, Bai Xue left the school with the excuse that she still had a scene to shoot.
In the entertainment company’s CEO office, Bai Xue sat on the sofa, feeling wronged. Since the public apology in the morning, many media outlets had already publicized the incident. As a result, she lost a few roles that she had already secured prior.
She complained frustratedly, “Li Yan, the Jiang family must have framed me. Why did you let them bully me? Because of this, I’ve lost three roles. It’s clear that they do not respect the Li family at all.”
She was so angry that she wished she could swallow Jiang Ling’er alive.
Li Yan lowered his head. He would have been pleased if Bai Xue had said this before. He had always thought that she was really cute, but now, all of her words felt like a slap to his face.
Li Yan said, “Little Xue, you have to think carefully before you say anything in the future. You’re a public figure, and your fans look up to you as a role model. Don’t you know that your bad behavior will lead your fans astray?”
Bai Xue felt guilty, but she still put on a pitiful expression. “Li Yan, don’t be angry at me. Fans aren’t children; they are capable of making their own judgements. As you can see, I’ve already lost more than half of my Weibo followers because of this.”
Li Yan mocked her, “I’m surprised you finally realized you’ve lost half of your followers. Well, haven’t you learned your lesson yet?”
Bai Xue felt wronged. Was Li Yan actually blaming her for this incident? “I’m innocent! Yue Ling tricked me, and Jiang Ling’er is simply ruthless.”
‘You actually believe that Yue Ling tricked you and Jiang Ling’er is heartless? You don’t think you reaped what you sowed?’ Li Yan thought inwardly as he handed the paper to Bai Xue. He said, “Stop crying. My assistant had already confirmed to you that there was nothing fishy with Miss Wen’s documents. Why did you still report Jiang Ling’er?”
Bai Xue was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Li Yan with red eyes. “Li Yan, don’t you trust me? Or are you doubting me because of what your assistant said? I’ve told you before. At that time, your assistant hadn’t informed me of the results yet. Yue Ling forced me to help her, so 1 had no choice but to report Ling’er.”
“So you’re saying that my assistant didn’t tell you in time?” Li Yan asked, rubbing his brows.
Bai Xue nodded without hesitation. “That’s right. I’m sure your assistant told you that he didn’t tell me in time, right? If I had known, I wouldn’t have reported Ling’er to the dean. Although Ling’er doesn’t like me, I’ve always wanted to be friends with her.”
She put on a pitiful expression, but her explanation just seemed like excuses.
Li Yan looked at the woman who was clearly lying but insisting that she wasn’t. He mocked himself in his heart, ‘If I hadn’t talked to my assistant yesterday, I would have believed every single word she’s saying right now..’
