Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Double-dealing Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Double-dealing Learn what? Wu Xuehan looked puzzled.
But Tang Li didn’t continue; after all, it wasn’t a good trait. It was just a joke, and she didn’t want Wu Xuehan to really become someone two-faced like Jiang Yiniing.
In her past life, Tang Li took a leave of absence in her senior year at university, not only to take care of Qin Yueru but also for an indirect reason.
Before she agreed to marry Han Jifeng, she was clear about the Han Family’s circumstances—they weren’t wealthy. After Mr. Han’s company went bankrupt, all that was left for Qin Yueru and her child was a 95-square-meter commercial apartment, and it was located beyond the third ring road in a not-so-nice neighborhood.
Due to the affairs of the Xia Family, Lai Wenyan had already given up on her as a daughter.
She also wanted to earn some dowry money for herself.
So, when Lai Yuaner approached her for an acting job, knowing full well she would be deliberately made things difficult for, she still accepted.
At that time, the filming location was in the Capital, and to save money, she still returned to the university at night.
However, she lost the script half a month after joining the crew.
And consequently lost the role.
One evening when she returned to the dorm, it happened to be empty. After putting down her bag, she went to the cafeteria to buy food. When she came back, the dormitory door was open, and Jiang Yiniing was sitting at the desk playing with a computer.
“Why didn’t you close the door when you left?” Jiang Yiniing asked as soon as she spoke.
Tang Li was taken aback because she clearly remembered locking the dormitory door.
After that, she discovered the script was missing from her bag.
In her past life, Tang Li blamed only herself for being careless.
Thinking it was true that she hadn’t locked the door, or that she had lost the script on the way back.
Now, reborn, she was no longer just a 19-year-old girl, more adept at observing and deciphering others’ intentions. The sequence of events and the odd behavior displayed by Jiang Yiniing made Tang Li unable to dismiss the suspicion that the loss of the script in her former life was no coincidence and that it was very likely taken by Jiang Yiniing.
As for why she did it—
Tang Li carefully recalled, and in her past life, she had never offended Jiang Yiniing. The only possibility… was when she was stripped of her scholarship, and in the end, Jiang Yiniing was the one who benefited.
The fact that she, with a father who was an executive at a state-owned enterprise, was competing with her for the top scholarship seemed quite bizarre.
In her past life, after Tang Li took a leave of absence, she never saw Jiang Yiniing again.
She could still speak about what happened to Wu Xuehan and Yu Sui after their graduation, but regarding Jiang Yiniing, Tang Li realized she knew nothing at all.
Parents’ names, home address, phone number—throughout university, it seemed Jiang Yiniing had never revealed any of this information.
Whether she had told Yu Sui, who she was close to, was a different matter.
With suspicions in mind, Tang Li borrowed Wu Xuehan’s cellphone.
She discreetly opened the camera and included both Jiang Yiniing and Mother Yu in the photo.
Then, Tang Li accessed the alumni network, searched for Yuan Jin’s account, and messaged him. First, she sent the photo, followed by a message: “Is this Senior Brother Yuan? I am Tang Li, Yiniing’s former roommate. We were supposed to be in English class, but Mother Yu came to the classroom demanding explanations from Yiniing. She has found out that it was Yiniing who gave you the photo of Yu Sui’s torn pants, and that Yiniing is the one spreading rumors online. Both the counselor and the faculty leadership are on their way to the classroom.”
Tang Li didn’t directly ask him to come to the rescue but shifted the focus of Mother Yu’s visit from herself to Jiang Yiniing.
Yuan Jin wasn’t a fool; he naturally could guess the consequences of this situation.
If he truly liked Jiang Yiniing, he would certainly not want to see her wronged, and coming over would just be a matter of time.
All this took no more than a minute or two.
Watching the chaos in the classroom, Tang Li spoke up again: “I think it would be best to handle this matter by calling the police.”
