The next day, Li Lanni was still a little unwell so Li Yuming wouldn’t let her go to school.
She could only go two days after. As soon as she arrived, she had a feeling everyone was giving her a weird look.
She ignored them and went over to Cheng Yu. "Is sothing the matter? Why is everyone giving weird looks?"
Cheng Yu looked like she was struggling to say it. "Lanni, don’t pay attention to the rumors. They will die down soon and I know that you are not that kind of girl."
"Okay, I will not pay attention to it. But at least tell what they are talking about?"
Cheng Yu had no choice. "They say you are a kept mistress."
"What?"
Cheng Yu knew that the matter would blow up any instant, so she may as well tell her right now to prepare her since she may be summoned by the school heads later. "They say that not only are you a mistress, the man who is keeping you is a senior professor in this university. And... he even has a wife."
The news claid that she had returned to school despite her amnesia. Since she couldn’t rember anything she learnt clearly, she was counting on that professor to pull strings and give her good grades.
"How shaless."
"I can’t believe I’m in the sa school as such rubbish." The students cursed angrily, not caring that she was within their earshot.
"She only just ca back to school for one day but she has taken three days off after that. Isn’t she just relying on the fact that she has seduced a professor?"
"Heh..." Li Lanni tittered. She turned to face the students who were blatantly scorching her with their accusing eyes and cursing her.
"So what if I’m in a relationship with my professor? It’s because I’m so beautiful that he can’t keep his eyes off , isn’t that so?"
"What?!"
The other students were shocked.
"She dared to admit it. How shaless!" A girl with a pixie cut gritted her teeth.
Li Lanni crossed her arms against her chest. "If I denied it, you would curse all day. Isn’t it better to admit it?" She glanced at the girl with a pixie cut. "What is it Miss Pixie? Could it be that you like this professor and are angry because you are jealous?"
"You!" the pixie girl was so angry she could scratch Li Lanni’s face.
Another girl looked at Li Lanni like she was the most shaless person on earth. "He is a married man. He is even old enough to be your grandfather. Aren’t you ashad of yourself?"
Li Lanni maintained her calm. "Is he? But I like older n. What should I do?"
"You are shaless!" The girl’s lungs were exploding.
Li Lanni picked her ears. Didn’t they have sothing new to call her? They had been using the sa word all this while. It was worn out already "This miss here. Since you think he is not good enough for , how about you match make with your father? The next ti we et, you will have to show so respect and call ’mommy’."
"Li Lanni!"
...
Li Lanni left after infuriating those students. Since they were having such a good ti talking about it, she would make them angry so she wouldn’t be the only one feeling wronged.
When only she and Cheng Yu were remaining, she turned to the girl. "By the way, what’s the na of the professor they say I’m involved with?"
"Huh?" Cheng Yu was about to faint from the sudden roller coaster. Just now, handn’t she claid to be dating that professor because she prefered older n? Now she didn’t know his na? She looked at Li Lanni carefully before slowly sticking out a finger to feel her forehead.
Li Lanni grabbed her hand mid air. "Drop it. Are you gonna tell , or should I go and ask every professor I et if I’m his mistress?"
Cheng Yu was rendered helpless. "You didn’t only lose your mory. You lost your brain altogether. Sigh, the man is professor Marcus."
Li Lanni looked blank, not understanding why her friend looked so shaken by this fact.
"Professor Marcus is said to have been in relationships with many girls from this university. He has not been fired only because there has never been any concrète proof."
Li Lanni chocked on her own saliva. She was rumored to be involved with such a man?
And it happened just soon after she returned to school? This couldn’t be any more obvious.
"Ji Feifei..." she mumbled with her chest heaving.
"Lanni, did you say sothing?"
"No."
"Oh. I was saying, it will be harder to clear the rumors since you admitted it a mont ago." Cheng Yu looked like she wanted to knock so sense into Li Lanni’s head. Can she recover her mory already?
Li Lanni smiled. "It’s just proving my innocence. Where’s the hard part?"
___
Outside the school, a black car was parked.
The man watched Li Lanni’s every movent.
’It’s just proving my innocence. Where’s the hard part?’
"Interesting." The man caressed the girl’s face on the screen.
"Boss, should I investigate the matter?" Qiao Luna asked.
"No need let her do it."
"Okay. Boss, are you going inside the school, or will you wait here until she cos out?" One had to know that it was still morning.
"I’ll wait."
"But..." You still have work to do at the office.
"I want to abandon my work and wait for her all day. Do you have anything to say?"
"No, of course not. I have absolutely nothing to say." Qiao Luna adjusted her glasses. How co no one told her that being Ji Xiehan’s assistant was this difficult?
...
anwhile, Li Lanni went to class.
Perhaps no one else found it strange, but she shared all her classes with Ji Feifei.
Was it a coïncidence, or did Ji Feifei do this so they would be stuck together?
She had learnt one fact since she woke up from coma : the person closest to you possessed the capability to hurt you the most.
So this was Ji Feifei’s strategy. Being close to her so she would hurt her?
She was now pretty sure that it was Ji Feifei who sent people to kill her when she went to the North District. She didn’t know how Ji Feifei knew where she was going, and she didn’t have any evidence yet, but she would be sure to make Ji Feifei pay for everything.
"Lanni, are you alright? Don’t be too sad about the rumors."
Li Lanni dramatically put her head on Ji Feifei’s shoulder. "But I’m sad. Boohoo... I’m so sad that I want to jump into the river and commit suicide."
"Eh? Lanni, don’t do that okay? Even if you get expelled from school, you still have ."
How could Li Lanni miss the glint in those eyes? Ji Feifei was obviously overjoyed when she ntioned that she wanted to jump into the river.
Li Lanni put up the act. "I... will I be expelled?"
"I don’t know Lanni. But in the past, all the students rumored to be involved with professors were expelled. For so, it was so bad that their bad reputations were reflected in their certificates. They couldn’t get jobs anywhere afterwards."
"I don’t want that kind of life! I wanna get a job. Boohoo."
Ji Feifei sneered inwardly. What’s the use of crying? "Lanni, I know a way to clear your na. But you will have to lay low first and let the rumors subside."
It was Li Lanni’s turn to sneer inwardly. Lay low and let the rumors subside? I’m afraid you will only help beco more famous by fanning the flas and making it seem like my silent admission.
’I, Li Lanni, will not let myself be fooled. Perhaps I was that gullible in the past. But now, my inability to rember my past will not stop from protecting myself.’ she declared ntally.
"I will go to that professor’s ho." Li Lanni suddenly said.
"Ah? That’s a stupid move." Ji Feifei feigned concern.
"Don’t worry. I will have a cara on and record our conversation. I will later use it to prove my innocence."
Ji Feifei raised her eyebrows. "Good idea. Everyone will believe you and stop making up stories about you."
As soon as Li Lanni left her side, Ji Feifei sneered. "Stupid Lanni. What kind of trick is that?"
She sent Professor Marcus a text ssage. [Keep yourself in a good mood today. A present will deliver itself at your doorstep this evening."
Heh, Lanni, watch ruin you forever.
"Ah-Cho! ...
"The person cursing must be Ji Feifei." Li Lanni mumbled.
Huh. Ji Feifei, do you really think I’d tell you what I plan to do to prove my innocence?
Of course I would be that stupid.
