Chapter Sixteen (Part Two)

  She found out, she was designed by Lu Mei Yue. Unfortunately, she knew too late, although she knew that Lu Mei Yue was a very cunning woman, but she did not expect that she would actually frame her in broad daylight.

  This location was chosen by Luo Mei Yue, it's relatively secluded, and now that it's mealtime, everyone's attention is focused on the food, so basically no one saw what happened at their table!

  Ye Haiwei slowly closed his angry eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a moment. Then he opened his eyes and said, "Ji Xiaowan, apologize to Mei Yue."

  Another apology?

  For the first time, Ji Xiaowan indeed beat Luo Mei Yue, so she was willing to apologize. But this time is different, this time she didn't lift a hand, so she won't apologize for something she didn't do. Otherwise, if there's a first time, there will be a second time. Luo Mei Yue knows that this trick won't work again, and in the future, she'll even more recklessly climb over her head.

  Ji Xiaowan is no fool, she won't give anyone a chance to bully her.

  Ji Xiaowan glanced back and said, "I didn't hit her, I won't apologize."

  Tai Li laughed and said, "Is Luo Mei Yue slapping herself? And it's even bleeding?"

  As soon as he heard the word "blood", Yi Ling's temper suddenly exploded, and he shouted at Ji Xiaowan, "How dare you say you didn't hit her? Do you think everyone here is blind?"

  Lu Mei Yue suddenly grabbed Yi Ling's sleeve and said, "Don't blame Xiao Wan, it's my fault, I'm the one who's wrong! I shouldn't have mentioned Li Qian, I thought Xiao Wan had already forgiven me, I didn't know she still held a grudge against this matter, so the one who should apologize is me!"

  Lu Mei Yue said as she walked towards Ji Xiao Wan, Yi Ling saw this and quickly protected her behind him, saying "What are you doing? Do you want to go over there and get beaten up?"

  Ji Xiaowan watched this play and felt a headache. If she could, she really wanted to turn around and leave, but it was clear that they would not let her go easily.

  Ye Haiwei looked at Ji Xiaowan deeply and said, "Ji Xiaowan, don't make me angry."

  Ye Haiwei's words carried a strong threat, and Ji Xiaowan snorted coldly in her heart. She knew that Ye Haiwei was planning to use her photos to blackmail her.

  Ji Xiaowan fixed her gaze on Ye Haiyi and said, "I won't apologize. Don't use that to threaten me again! From now on, don't use it to threaten me either!"

  "You don't want it?" Ye Hai's mouth corner flashed a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile.

  Ji Xiaowan closed her eyes in pain and said, "I'll just pretend I never had it." Then there's no need to worry about losing it.

  Although she says so with her mouth, but as soon as she thinks about losing the happiness of seeing that person again, can't she be heartbroken?

  Ji Xiaowan turned around, she wanted to leave this place of gossip as soon as possible, every second she stayed made her feel suffocated.

  Ji Xiaowan turned around and left, while Ye Haiwei remained behind, saying "If you dare to walk out of this hotel, be prepared for our revenge."

  Yi Ling also coldly added a sentence, "We have many ways to make you bow your head to Xiao Guai."

  Ji Xiaowan's footsteps paused for a moment as she listened to their words, and then she took a step back without hesitation. Ji Xiaowan knew what she was doing, and she was very clear that those two men would not let her go easily. However, she still chose to leave, still chose to stubbornly hold on to the last bit of dignity in her heart, no matter how ridiculous it seemed to others, no matter how insignificant it was.

  Ji Xiaowan's revenge came quickly. Although she had been attending classes at school for the past few days without noticing anything different, after school, every time she went to a family's home to tutor their children, the parents would fire her and say some unpleasant words, saying that she was having an affair and couldn't be allowed to corrupt their kids.

  In the face of accusations from her parents, Ji Xiaowen did not retort, but instead took the previously settled wages and returned home.

  Ji Xiaowan's source of income was abruptly cut off by someone. It's obvious who did it without even investigating.

  Ji Xiaowan did not run to plead with Ye Haiyi and Yi Ling, nor did she scold them. She chose to attend class quietly, then avoided their sight.

  A few days later, after school one day, Yi Ling blocked her and asked her to go apologize to Luo Mei Yue, but Ji Xiao Wan stubbornly refused again.

  Ji Xiaowan thought Yi Ling would hit her, and she was prepared to be beaten up. However, Ji Xiaowan did not expect that Yi Ling would not do so. He just gave her a cold smile, threw out a sentence "You will regret it", and then walked away without looking back.

  Yi Ling's actions let Ji Xiaowen know that her troubles had only just begun.

  The next day on the way to school, Ji Xiaowan found that everyone in the school was pointing at her, but she didn't know what bad things they were saying about her until she entered the classroom and saw a large printed photo on the blackboard which should have been empty.

  In the photo, there was her, her mother and a man. The man looked very old, probably in his thirties. He had a lustful gaze at Ji Xiaoyan in the photo. The man also held Ji Xiaowei's hand tightly.

  That man is Xia He Dong.

  Ji Xiaowan's face turned white in an instant, because she saw that next to the photo, on the blackboard, was written a line of large characters: Daughter sells her body, mother is a pimp.

  Ji Xiaowan hastily picked up the blackboard eraser and erased those words, then tore off the photos, shredded them and threw them into the trash can.

  When she finished all this, she turned back to see her classmates in the class, pointing at her and whispering to each other. Their expressions were exactly the same as those of the students on the road who looked at her. Ji Xiaowen knew that this photo was not only circulating in her class, but had already spread to every student in the school.

  So this is what Yiran meant by revenge.

  Indeed, Yi Ling really hit Ji Xiaowan's weakness.

  Ji Xiaowan was heartbroken, but she still didn't cry, instead a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

  It was actually a bitter smile, a helpless bitter smile.

  A day passed, and all day long, Ji Xiaowan lived in the midst of others' gossip. In the afternoon's physical education class, when she went to the playground, she was even pushed by a group of boys who seemed to be hoodlums. When the boy pushed her, he also asked her with a smirk, "How much are you worth?"

  Ji Xiaowan's face was pale, she didn't respond to him, and silently went to the playground.

  The next day, after morning exercises, students flocked to the classroom to prepare for their second class, but Ji Xiaowen was called into the office by her head teacher.

  The head teacher looked at Ji Xiaowan with a sympathetic gaze and said, "Xiaowan, you don't have to come to school for the next few days."

  "Why?" Ji Xiaowan asked, blinking her eyes.

  "There have been many rumors about you these past few days, the school is worried that your situation will affect other students' studies and the school's atmosphere, so the school has decided to let you take a break at home for a while, and come back to class after the rumors die down."

  This is just a perfunctory statement from the class teacher, but in fact, it means that the school wants to force Ji Xiaowen to drop out voluntarily. However, the school doesn't want to be too extreme, after all, this matter can't be explained by just one photo. But Ji Xiaowen still affects the school's reputation, so the school plans to let her take a leave of absence in name only, not allowing her to come back to school for classes. As for when the school will let her return, it's up to the school to decide, as long as Ji Xiaowen waits long enough, she'll lose hope and voluntarily drop out.

  Ji Xiaowan studied hard for so many years, what was it all for? She struggled to read in the first grade, what was that all for?

  She just wants to find a decent job, graduate and be able to support herself so she doesn't have to look at her mother's face anymore, doesn't have to suffer humiliation for the sake of getting some allowance from her father?

  Now the school doesn't allow her to attend classes anymore, this is cutting off her path in life.

  Ji Xiaowan fell silent, and she didn't hear the next few words of advice from her class teacher.

  Ji Xiaowan and other class teachers finished speaking, then walked out of the office in a daze.

  At the office entrance stood Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei.
