Chapter 71: Malicious Framing

The thought of the school interfering stunned Wen Nuan—it would make things difficult to handle. She glanced at Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, was indifferent. “Is that so? Then I’ll also go to the principal and tell him that you and Bai Xue spread rumors about me. Since you have maliciously framed me and Wen Nuan, you’ll definitely be expelled. This is part of the school’s rules. Your actions have ruined my reputation, and I can even ask the police to arrest you.”
Yue Ling was dumbfounded; she hadn’t thought of that at all.
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “You enjoyed spreading rumors, didn’t you? Have you not thought of the consequences?”
Yue Ling did not dare to utter another word.
Jiang Ling’er sneered, wondering who made Yue Ling so arrogant.
The next morning.
Jiang Ling’er had just arrived at the door of the classroom when a decently dressed elderly couple in their sixties walked over.
When she saw their solemn expressions, she immediately knew what the two of them wanted. However, she wanted to hear what they had to say first. “You’re Miss Jiang, right?” Yue Ling’s father asked politely.
Jiang Ling’er pretended not to know him and asked in confusion, “May I know who you are?”
Yue Ling’s father said remorsefully, “I’m Yue Ling’s father, and this is Yue Ling’s mother.”
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
Yue Ling’s father blamed himself and said, “Miss Jiang, it’s my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I made my daughter so insensible and domineering. Can you let my daughter off this once on account that we’re both so old and only have one daughter? Can you give her a chance to turn over a new leaf?”
Before Jiang Ling’er could say anything, Yue Ling ran over excitedly. In order to continue studying here, Yue Ling could only tell her parents the truth. However, her parents did not go to the school’s management but came to look for Jiang Ling’er instead. They were actually so humble. Wouldn’t this lower Yue Ling’s reputation?
Yue Ling said, “Dad, are you not embarrassed? Why are you begging for mercy from a person who is almost fifty years younger than you?”
Yue Ling’s father stood up and slapped Yue Ling. He said, “Shut up, idiot. I’ve spoiled you too much that you have become so arrogant. Who allowed you to be so arrogant?”
Jiang Ling’er had already shown them enough respect, but Yue Ling was still oblivious.
Yue Ling covered her face and said, aggrieved, “Dad, you’ve never hit me like this before!”
Yue Ling’s mother was frightened. She held her daughter and said helplessly, “Old Yue, what are you doing?”
Yue Ling’s father looked at Yue Ling angrily as he said, “Yue Ling, you’re already twenty years old! You’re no longer a ten-year-old child. You need to wake up! Your mother and 1 are almost seventy, and we don’t have many years left to live. If you keep this up, we won’t be able to leave in peace in the future.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at the Yue Family, wanting to see how Yue Ling would react.
Yue Ling covered her face and walked to Jiang Ling’er with tears in her eyes. Yue Ling bent down and said, “Ling’er, 1 know I was wrong. Please let me off this once. 1 want to continue studying. I can’t quit school now.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and didn’t know if this family was acting or not. However, for the sake of their daughter, the old couple had come here to apologize. Poor parents!
In any case, it didn’t matter whether they were sincere or not. This was the perfect opportunity to clear Jiang Ling’er’s old reputation of being unreasonable. “Alright, it’s not a big deal. There won’t be a next time, though.”
Yue Ling looked at Jiang Ling’er in shock. She didn’t expect Jiang Ling’er to let her off so easily. Moreover, Jiang Ling’er was actually so easy to talk to. ‘Why was I so scared of her before?’
Jiang Ling’er looked at Yue Ling. “I’m doing this for the sake of your parents. Your father is already old, yet because of you, he had to lower his head to a junior like me. This isn’t good, so use your brain to think twice before you do anything in the future.”
“Ling’er, I’m sorry. 1 know I was wrong,” Yue Ling said.
Jiang Ling’er said softly, “This time, you should also learn an important lesson. You don’t achieve your goals by pleasing other people. You’re smart and good-looking. Finding a job won’t be hard for you.”
Yue Ling’s father was a little emotional as he said with a slight sob, “Miss Jiang, thank you very much!”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Yue,” said Jiang Ling’er..
