Chapter 91: Chapter 91: More of a Liability Than an Asset

"But, the cancelation of your scholarship slot by the college leadership is really beyond my control," Jiang Yining took a deep breath, her expression revealing fatigue, "Whether you misunderstand or bear a grudge, regardless of whether you will make a big deal out of my meeting with Senior Brother Yuan today in the future, I can only say I’m conscience clear."

The implication—

Even if you tell what you saw, as long as I insist that you’re slanderous out of jealousy, who would believe you? They would only question your character as a result!

Tang Li nodded, "You’re right, it’s good to have a clear conscience."

Jiang Yining finally felt at ease, convinced she had stabilized Tang Li.

But to her surprise, Tang Li added, "I hope you can maintain that clear conscience forever."

Such a light and airy remark, yet it was like a sharp blade forcefully stabbing Jiang Yining’s heart, and like a fierce hand brutally tearing off the mask from her face, with mockery that caught her off guard.

Watching Tang Li turn and leave, Jiang Yining clenched her hands that hung by her side.

Her chest was packed with indignation.

If it weren’t for Tang Li, this fool, messing things up, would all these subsequent troubles have arisen?

She had not expected that Tang Li would no longer just take things lying down like before.

A scapegoat who has learned to fight back is more of a liability than an asset to her!

The reason she called Mother Yu was because Yu Sui was spreading the word that she had set up her roommate to steal the musical’s role, causing her classmates to look at her differently, as if they believed Yu Sui’s story. She pushed all the blame onto Tang Li, deliberately exaggerating the situation. Mother Yu’s temper is very similar to Yu Sui’s; with just a few words, she was ready to come to the school and settle the score with Tang Li.

Mother Yu’s reaction was exactly what she wanted.

After being beaten by Mother Yu in the classroom in front of students and teachers, naturally, Tang Li would be at a loss for words. Even if Yu Sui still had doubts, the other students would think that Tang Li was behind it all.

Earlier, she had called Yu Guowen to tell him that Tang Li had publicly tripped Yu Sui, which led Yu Guowen to cancel Tang Li’s scholarship slot.

But in less than a month, Tang Li had changed.

At this moment, Jiang Yining’s cellphone received an incoming call.

It was from the counselor.

On the phone, the counselor informed her that Tang Li had been reinstated as the top scholarship recipient, so she was still the runner-up, receiving a scholarship of fifteen hundred yuan, not three thousand. Don’t be too surprised by the bank message tomorrow afternoon.

Jiang Yining, holding the cellphone, asked in a hurry, "Wasn’t Tang Li already disqualified? How come she has been reinstated?"

"The school has thoroughly investigated and found that the previous student dispute was a misunderstanding, with someone maliciously instigating it. In this case, naturally, we can’t keep the scholarship from Student Tang," Counselor Gao Shengyan sensed something off in Jiang Yining’s tone and asked, "Student Jiang, do you have a different opinion?"

"No..." Jiang Yining denied.

Then she said in a cheerful tone, "I’m just happy that Ah Li can get the scholarship again. Ah Li’s family isn’t well-off; the scholarship is her living expense. The school was going to give me the top scholarship before, and I felt quite guilty towards Ah Li. She also doesn’t talk to me much when she sees me, but now that it’s handled this way, I have no complaints!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yining wanted to smash her phone hard on the ground!

But immediately, she stopped herself.

This cellphone was brand new from this summer.

With that thought, she ultimately couldn’t bear to throw the phone away.
