After the truth was revealed, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to endure the humiliation and heartache. They agreed to have their daughter apologize to Xiao Lingye in front of the entire school.
Not only that, Gong Tianhao also demanded compensation for mental damage, reputation damage, company damage, and other costs. The total compensation was 10 million.
10 million was an astronomical amount of compensation for ordinary people.
However, the fee was calculated by the lawyer. Moreover, with Xiao Lingye’s current status, this 10 million compensation was nothing surprising.
Then, all kinds of rumors spread on campus.
After Xiao Lingye was cleared of all wrongdoing, Jiang Shuyu’s reputation plummeted. It was not an exaggeration to say that her reputation was ruined.
“I didn’t expect Jiang Shuyu to be such a vicious person.” Someone exclaimed, “In order to frame Xiao Lingye, she even abandoned her own purity.”
“She is after the big fish!” Someone mocked, “Haven’t you heard? She knows Xiao Lingye’s background. What is Xiao Lingye’s background? It’s the Imperial Palace Group.
“The Imperial Palace Group is the richest company in the country. The boss behind the Imperial Palace Group is also the richest person in the country.
“Xiao Lingye is the brother-in-law of the boss of the Imperial Palace Group. Besides, her sister, Xiao Lingyu, also created a company worth tens of billions.
“Xiao Lingye is extremely powerful because he is closely related to them.
“So, she wants to use this chance to force Xiao Lingye to be her boyfriend.”
“Hehe, I thought Xiao Lingye was just a good-looking, talented, and capable country kid. I didn’t expect that he was actually so influential.”
“Yeah. Xiao Lingye is really low-key. I’ve been classmates with him for so many years, but I didn’t know that his family was so rich.”
“He’ll get compensation in billions. That is a number we can’t even dream of. I hear that many students who graduated from Imperial University found it difficult to find a good job. They would only earn two to three thousand a month.”
“In the future, when Xiao Lingye graduates, he doesn’t need to look for a job at all. He can work for his brother-in-law.” The person who said this had a hint of envy in his eyes, “Tell me, why is Xiao Lingye so lucky? Not only is he good-looking, talented, and capable, but his family is also so rich. He doesn’t have to worry about money at all, much less work.”
“That’s right. Why are some people so lucky to have everything? They have rich families, good looks, and great ability.”
“Yeah, why are there people who are so lucky?” Many students echoed.
Yes, it sounded like the world was so unfair.
Some people were born with everything and didn’t need to worry at all, while others were born with nothing.
However, one’s life was still dictated by one’s hard work.
Someone said, “I am not born with money, but I’ll work hard so that my child can have a better life.”
However, some people were pessimistic and complained, “Why don’t my parents have money? If they had money, I wouldn’t have to live such a miserable life!”
People’s attitude determined their lives.
When Xiao Lingye’s true identity was revealed, many people were shocked. Since someone as rich as him was so hardworking, what other reason did the others have to be lazy?
That brought a big change to the campus. Suddenly, many students became so hardworking.
Principal Li and the school directors were stunned at first, then they became happy. As long as the students worked hard, they would have a bright future.
On the contrary, after Jiang Shuyu’s reputation plummeted, she became the target of public criticism.
All kinds of ugly words were directed at her.
After the incident that day, Jiang Shuyu didn’t go back to school and hid at home. However, she couldn’t hide from the ridicule and abuse about her. All the university forums were talking about her.
Jiang Shuyu sat in her room. There was a high-end computer on the table, and the computer screen was flashing rapidly with new comments.
Her eyes were fixed on these flashing comments, and a monstrous resentment burst out from her eyes.
“Xiao Lingye, just you wait. I will definitely pay back the humiliation I gave you today a thousand times over in the future!” Jiang Shuyu gnashed her teeth and said viciously.
This time, she failed to frame him. Not only did she make a mess of herself, but she also implicated her parents.
Not to mention the compensation of 10 million, the three of them were called back to the Jiang family’s ancestral home. They were scolded by the current person in charge, young master Jiang. In punishment, their family had many things taken back by the main family. As a family, their branch’s power dwindled overnight.
At first, when they were called back to the main family, they thought the Jiang elders would seek justice for them. After all, Mr. Jiang called the main family when he saw Gong Tianhao arrive at the principal’s office.
The people from the main family also promised that they would stand up for them.
The Jiang family had always been very protective of their own.
Mr. Jiang thus was not afraid to argue with Gong Tianhao at first.
However, as the truth was revealed, Mr. Jiang became more cowed. He hoped that the people from the main family would appear to save him. However, no one came, and he lost everything.
When he was called back to the main family, Mr. Jiang thought that the main family would compensate and protect them. But they were reprimanded, and more than half of their assets were taken away.
Later, Jiang Shuyu found out that young master Jiang was not only a good friend of Gong Tianhao but also a good friend of Xiao Lingyu.
Therefore, young master Jiang punished them severely for Xiao Lingyu’s sake.
When Jiang Shuyu found out about this, she was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot. Then, she secretly swore that she would make Xiao Lingye and Xiao Lingye pay a heavy price.
After that, Jiang Shuyu was sent abroad by her family and did not appear in the capital for the next few years.
