Chapter 349: 349, it’s more than just a liking
Elsewhere, Su Yunrong takes Su Wanwan into the elevator.
As soon as the doors close, she speaks in a grave tone, “When we reach the office, remember to be sincere. The forum incident has created a terrible impact and the school leaders are very angry. I will help to keep this from the Huo Family, you just remember to admit your mistakes…”
“Admit my mistakes to whom?” Su Wanwan interrupts her.
Displeased, Su Yunrong still manages to say, “The school leaders have already seen the posts on the forum. Not only that, this morning, someone also sent an email to the head of discipline, which is why I’m taking you to the office.”
Su Wanwan replies, “In those photos, some cars belong to my husband, some to the Huo Family’s driver. The one holding my luggage is my husband’s assistant, and that Ye Qitian is a friend of mine from Los Angeles. He got excited after not seeing me for a while, which is why the video of us was taken.”
Thinking Su Yunrong would believe her these words, she didn’t expect…
“Do you have any evidence?”
“What do you mean by that?” Su Wanwan’s face darkens instantly.
It’s one thing if others don’t believe her, but Su Yunrong is her aunt, and she knows about her marriage to Huo Jingshen.
“You’re married and yet you can’t settle down. You’re always messing around with different men. Now all your past affairs have been exposed. If the Huo Family finds out, what will they think of you? What will they think of our Su Family?”
“You believe what you see from a few manipulated photos?”
“There is no smoke without fire. Considering your past mistakes, the many photos taken of you fooling around with men, you still consider yourself wronged? Why would they target you and not someone else?” Su Yunrong questions aggressively, “Do you know that all the students and teachers of our school are discussing this? Just now, even reporters from the newspaper called to question the integrity of our school’s learning environment! All because of you. You are tainting the reputation of our entire school. Do you think this is acceptable?”
Unable to hold back, Su Wanwan scoffs, “What if I took some photos of you with the school leaders? Would it mean that you’ve slept your way up to your professor position?”
“You…” Su Yunrong’s face instantly turns red as a beet. Instinctively, she lifts her hand wanting to teach Wanwan a lesson.
But her hand is caught halfway by Su Wanwan who then flings it away.
Stumbling back, Su Yunrong hits the elevator wall and almost trips over her medium-heeled shoes.
The entire elevator shakes as a result.
“Do you think I’m still a child? To be beaten and scolded at your adults’ whims?”
“You…”
Su Wanwan interrupts once more, “Now you know what it feels like to be wronged. Isn’t it infuriating?”
At this, Su Yunrong’s face turned ashen.
Can’t believe her niece would have the guts to talk back to her?
Then Su Wanwan continues, “You’re my elder. When I face such problem, you, as the first person to know, rather than help to seek out the truth and clear my name, straightaway deduced that it was my fault! Shame on you, a university professor. You don’t even have the ability to tell right from wrong! Just following the crowd and making unfounded accusations. It’s nonsense! Let me tell you, everything in the posts is slander. What I didn’t do, I didn’t do! Without evidence, no one can penalize me in any way!”
At this point, the elevator door opens. Su Yunrong straightens herself up, adjusts her hair and clothes, her tone once again level, “Why don’t you save these words for the head of discipline!”
“Alright then.” Su Wanwan smiles lightly.
The head of discipline knows her relationship with Huo Jingshen. After all, he was the one who asked her to meet Huo Jingshen last time.
So, once they enter the office, Su Wanwan doesn’t say a word while Su Yunrong fusses about her wrongdoings.
Until she says, “Wanwan, apologize to the head.”
Su Wanwan remains silent.
Then, the head of discipline waves her off, “That’s enough Professor Su, I already know about the matter. You may leave first.”
Startled, Su Yunrong says, “But Wanwan, she…”
“I’ve already investigated the matter thoroughly. It is entirely fabricated slander! I have found the IP of the poster, so let’s just end it here. Professor Su, you may leave first.”
Su Yunrong frowns, but since the head of discipline has made a decision, she has no choice but to leave.
Once the door closes, the head’s serious expression immediately turns to a gentle smile, “Su student, why didn’t you tell me about such a serious issue beforehand?”
Su Wanwan looks at him, “Did you find out the IP of the poster? Who is it?”
“No.”
Su Wanwan’s eyelid twitches.
“But don’t worry Su student, you are the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. How could you possibly do such a thing? Rest assured, the school will delete all the posts, ban all participants who discussed the matter, and issue a school-wide notice. Anyone who unreasonably defames another in the future will be dealt with according to school regulations! Serious offenders will be expelled!”
Su Wanwan gazes at him, unsure if she should offer gracias or…
“Alright, go back to class now,” the head continues with his benevolent smile.
Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan decides to let it be for now.
The school is stepping in, so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon, saving her the hassle.
Once Su Wanwan has left, the head of discipline immediately dials a number, “Hello, is this Assistant Ji?”
Over there, Ji Jie is taken aback, “May I ask who this is?”
