Despite her wanting to study further, she had no choice but to go along with her mother’s wishes.
“My fiancé’s heart ached for my situation and he decided to sponsor my admission into a famous university abroad with a hundred million dollars. Through his actions, I was able to get accepted into that university. After that, I came to Jing Hua University as an exchange student and was eventually transferred here to become a proper student of Jing Hua University. This is my so-called ‘secret’ that Teacher Dong spoke of.”
Fang Xinxin paused for a moment before continuing. “The matter of my fiancé spending a hundred million dollars to exchange an opportunity for me to be enrolled in a foreign university is a common occurrence. The only difference is that my fiancé happens to be wealthier and was able to afford a larger sum. But this is unrelated to Jing Hua University. Jing Hua University remains the best university in the country, and I am not being kept by some man. I do not think that by transferring here from a different school, I am humiliating Jing Hua University’s reputation.”
In her previous life, she had been foolish and suffered a lot of coldness and humiliation after enrolling here.
With Fang Manxue and Fang Lilan’s interference, she blamed all of this on Bai Qinghao and felt that if he had not been a busybody, she would not have to go through this.
She never even thanked him once for the money he had spent.
In fact, the trouble she met in school was completely unrelated to him.
He had helped her in getting a chance to progress from being just a high school graduate. Moreover, he gave her the opportunity to become a student in Jing Hua University, the school that everyone dreamed of attending.
After gaining clarity in her mind, her heart genuinely ached for how much Bai Qinghao had done for her. She finally knew that he had the best intentions for her.
If things went as they did in her last life, she would suffer today’s defamation and the school would decide to expel her. Then, Bai Qinghao would secretly interfere to suppress the matter.
In the four years she stayed in university, she was almost expelled many times. It was with Bai Qinghao’s help that she eventually managed to graduate from this place.
Still, whenever teachers or students brought her name up, they would consider her to be a stain on the university’s reputation. Bai Qinghao’s reputation suffered as well because of her.
Thus, in this life, even without depending on Bai Qinghao, she would definitely eliminate all those stains on her reputation and become an independent woman. This way, she would be able to… be of some support to him.
Upon hearing Fang Xinxin’s version, all the students and teachers fell silent.
“Is that the truth?” The person who asked this was Jiang Xingnan, who was leaning against the door.
“Of course it’s a lie.” Dong Yuzhu responded angrily. “She’s a kept woman and she spent a hundred million dollars to be enrolled here. She isn’t an exchange student at all!”
Jiang Xingnan became unhappy. “Teacher Dong, you have to be responsible for your words. Do you mean to say that someone from Jing Hua University accepted the money? If you do, everyone will assume that my father, the principal, is the most suspicious person in this case. Are you certain about this matter?”
Although Dong Yuzhu felt this way, she tried her best to deny it. “I never said that the principal accepted bribes.”
“My father is fair and hard working. Since giving birth to me, he has been expressing his gratitude to God everyday. The profits from my mom’s company are also endless. There’s absolutely no way my father will accept bribes!” Jiang Xingnan normally appeared to be careless and playful, but when it came to crucial moments, he knew how to protect what was important to him.
Fang Xinxin had already expected this situation. She brought out a certificate from a certain university with the university’s logo stamped on it. On the certificate, the sum displayed had eight zeros behind it. “Everyone, please take a look. When my fiancé donated the sum to the school under my name, it was properly documented. No one in Jing Hua University accepted bribes. If you wish to find someone to blame, please blame certain universities for accepting donations. However, please also respect that different universities have different ways of operating and refrain from being too harsh on them.”
Dong Yuzhu realised that Fang Xinxin was not lying. After all, a phone call alone could verify whether the document was real or not.
However, she struggled to accept that, with the turn of events, she had ended up on the losing end.
