Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Who is the Real Schemer Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Who is the Real Schemer Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yiniing’s expression stiffened slightly, then she said, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
“It doesn’t matter if your lips don’t understand, as long as your heart does,” Tang Li said, corners of her lips slightly curled, “Last time, you had Yuan Jin spread her photo to see her embarrassed. Now that she can’t play Hermia, the role falls to you. Why bother to coddle her ?”
Hearing her inner thoughts spoken aloud, Jiang Yiniing’s mind was slightly disturbed, yet her tone remained firm: “I don’t know any Yuan Jin, and I will not allow you to sow discord in my friendship with Suisui!”
“The depth of your friendship should be able to withstand a test.”
“…” Jiang Yiniing had a bad feeling.
Just as she was about to make an excuse, Tang Li turned her head to Yu Sui and said, “Whether Yiniing knows Yuan Jin or not, just check her cellphone. You always lend her your cellphone, you should know her unlock password, right?”
Yu Sui’s face turned ugly in an instant.
Because she realized—
She didn’t know the unlock password of Jiang Yiniing’s cellphone.
Jiang Yiniing had never lent her cellphone to her!
At that moment, Tang Li spoke again: “On the day Yu Sui’s pants tore during class, we weren’t in the same class with the director’s department. The photo Yuan Jin uploaded was taken from the rear side. Yiniing, you were sitting at the back. Did you notice anything?”
“I…” Jiang Yiniing opened her mouth.
She wanted to explain but couldn’t find an excuse in time.
Never had she anticipated that the previously gloomy and cowardly Tang Li would fight back when wronged!
“At the end of last semester as I was returning from the library to the dorms, I saw you and Yuan Jin dating in the grove, but I kept quiet as not to embarrass you,” Tang Li paused slightly, then continued, “I returned to the dorm, and more than half an hour later, you came back with numerous mosquito bites on your legs. It was Suisui who lent you the mosquito repellent.”
Yu Sui, impulsive and easily provoked, but not a fool, was awakened by Tang Li’s words—if she still hadn’t realized something was off, then she truly lacked brains!
“Give me your cellphone,” she reached out to Jiang Yiniing.
“… My cellphone is not on me,” Jiang Yiniing tried to change the subject: “Suisui, it was Teacher Meng who asked me to play Hermia. I didn’t know beforehand. If you have any doubts, call Teacher Meng now. If you dislike me playing Hermia, I can refuse the role.”
Yu Sui watched as Jiang Yiniing urgently tried to explain, but her reply wasn’t as resolute as before, simply saying “I believe you.” Instead, her mind replayed what Tang Li just said.
—Jiang Yiniing knew Yuan Jin, and they might be in a romantic relationship.
—Yuan Jin was not present during her embarrassing class moment.
—The angle of the photo was from the back, close to Jiang Yiniing’s position at that time.
Yesterday at the police station, the police said that the online account frequently leaving malicious comments and smearing Tang Li was linked to her phone number, and when registered, she must have received a verification SMS.
In fact, she knew nothing.
Tang Li was being slandered online, and she watched the drama without wanting to get involved!
Now, only she and Jiang Yiniing lived in the dorm.
Yu Sui gripped her fingers tight—who else could have access to her cellphone and know the unlock password, the answer was almost shouting itself.
She lost the opportunity to perform in the opera because of the rumors, and it was Jiang Yiniing who filled her spot.
And not, as she thought, Tang Li.
The most ironic part was—
She had just been relieved that it was okay she couldn’t play Hermia, because there was still Yiniing, never letting the scheming Tang Li succeed!
