“I’ve already sent someone over.” Huangfu Ruiling said in a particularly indifferent tone, “However, so far, there hasn’t been any news. And there’s no useful information in the southern boundaries.”
“You definitely won’t be able to find out!” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but find it funny. “Yuanyang Flower and Baizhe Wood are good stuff. They are herbs that are peculiar to the southern boundaries. Even if they know something, they won’t tell you.”
Looking at Ye Leng’an’s smiling face, Huangfu Ruilings eyes flashed with an unknown light.
“Shall I go to the southern boundaries?” Ye Leng’an said with a smile, “The chances of finding these two herbs will be higher if I’m there. Moreover, I can gain an insight into the Gu worms in the southern boundaries.”
To be honest, she was very interested in the Gu poison. Even if she hadn’t had Miss Yiran as her patient, she would have still gone to the southern boundaries in the future. As an alchemist, she was very passionate about medicine.
“Sure.” Huangfu Ruiling did not refuse, but asked, “When do you plan to go? I can make the arrangements.”
“During the winter break!” Ye Leng’an thought about it and replied, “After Zhao Yanran’s matter is settled, I’ll go back to school. If I don’t go, the principal will be critical of me. Moreover, I promised the principal that I would get first place in the Mathematical Olympiad qualifier.”
After she got first place, she did not have to go to training anymore. And she could use this opportunity to make a trip to the southern boundaries.
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, indicating that he understood.
In the next few days, no one from the Zhao family, the Ye family, or Hu Ping came to the villa to disturb Ye Leng’an.
Very soon, the defamation case was brought to trial. However, Ye Leng’an didn’t even show up and directly entrusted everything to her lawyer.
The evidence was conclusive, and there was no objection. Ye Leng’an won the lawsuit. The court also announced Zhao Yanran’s punishment.
Zhao Yanran needed to apologize to Ye Leng’an and compensate Ye Leng’an for reputational damage and mental suffering.
This was acceptable to Zhao Yanran, but what she couldn’t accept was that after this incident, there would be a criminal record on her file. In other words, she would have a criminal history in the future.
Even if she was the daughter of the Zhao family, with the Zhao family as her backing, it would be absolutely impossible for her to marry someone of similar family background. After all, if the man was from a well-matched family, he would choose someone with an unspotted reputation and definitely not a rich young lady with a criminal record. Of course, the possibility that there was a Mr. Right in the future who would fight against her family for her couldn’t be ruled out. However, the chances of this happening were extremely small.
In the future, Zhao Yanran would have to marry beneath her. To Zhao Yanran, this was worse than death. Moreover, she liked Ouyang Xuyan. However, the Ouyang family would never allow their son to marry a woman with a criminal record. This meant that Zhao Yanran and Ouyang Xuyan had no chance at all.
Zhao Yanran hated Ye Leng’an to the bone when thinking about this. She felt that her future had been ruined by Ye Leng’an. She would definitely not let Ye Leng’an off so easily.
After the incident, Ye Leng’an returned to Sheng’an to have class. During this period of time, the principal had been calling her almost every day to urge her. She was worried that if she did not come back soon, the principal might have to report her missing.
When she returned to Sheng’an High School, she immediately became the center of attention.
It became quite a big thing this time. In the past, there were many rumors in the school. As for the protagonists of the rumors, they had no other way but to bear it in silence. Some of them couldn’t stand it and were forced to drop out of school.
Even if they told the teachers or the school leaders about the rumors, it would not be of much use. Because there were too many people spreading the rumors on campus, even if the school found out, they could only reprimand the culprits with a few words. It would not have any substantial effect at all. Moreover, the rumors would only get worse in the end.
Who would have thought that Ye Leng’an would actually call the police this time? Moreover, it ended up in court. In the end, Zhao Yanran was punished by the law.
It was also because of this incident that everyone knew that they were no longer children. They had to take responsibility for what they had said. The campus was not a lawless place. If someone really violated the law, he or she wouldn’t escape the punishment..
