Chapter 211: I Blame Myself
These words were enough to destroy the image of a goddess that she had built in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Jian Yiyi scolded Jian Ai in her heart thousands of times. She had lowered her guard this time, but that didn’t mean that she would let it go.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Jian Yiyi was still a child. She was both embarrassed and angry. She couldn’t help but cry.
Jian Ai walked towards the class from the corridor. After leaving the lecture theatre, she hid her expression and returned to normal.
In the end, Jian Ai still gave Jian Yiyi a way out. Otherwise, if she played the recording, everyone would know her true colors.
However, faced with a fourteen-year-old girl, Jian Ai still could not completely harden her heart. She had experienced a colorless childhood in her previous life, so she knew better than anyone how deep the trauma left behind in school was for a person.
Jian Yiyi believed that her methods were brilliant, but in Jian Ai’s eyes, they were nothing. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been exposed so easily.
Jian Yiyi was bad, but Jian Ai sincerely hoped that she could still be saved and that she was not bad to the bones.
She was not an envoy of justice, so she had no right to judge a girl who had not yet reached puberty. The person who was involved in public opinion this time was Lin Yi. If it were anyone else, Jian Ai knew that she might not have reached out to interfere.
Around the corner, Jian Ai threw the recording pen casually into the trash can.
Jian Yiyi entered the class with red eyes from crying. Everyone looked at one another. Before they could talk, the bell rang.
After the first lesson, Xi Jie and Li Linlin pulled Jian Yiyi to a corner of the corridor and asked with concern.
Xi Jie: “Yiyi, what’s wrong? Your eyes are red from crying.”
Li Linlin also asked with concern, “Is it because of Lin Yi again?”
Jian Yiyi started crying again. Her tear-stained appearance was heartbreaking.
When Xi Jie and Li Linlin saw this, they anxiously said in unison, “What’s going on?”
Jian Yiyi sobbed and said helplessly, “When I saw people discussing Lin Yi behind his back, I felt sorry for him. It’s all my fault! Boohoo…”
“How are you to be blamed?” Li Linlin’s expression turned serious. She was disappointed when she thought of Lin Yi. “He did something wrong. He deserved it!”
Xi Jie was also indignant. “That’s right. He didn’t dare to admit that he was with you. He’s not a man!”
To think that she used to like Lin Yi. She didn’t expect him to be such a scumbag!
Unexpectedly, Jian Yiyi shook her head while crying. “Don’t talk nonsense. That didn’t happen. Lin Yi and I were never together. Boohoo…”
Xi Jie: “…”
Li Linlin: “???”
The two of them were confused, and they couldn’t tell if Jian Yiyi was telling the truth or trying to defend Lin Yi.
Jian Yiyi cried again. “Everyone is cursing Lin Yi now. It’s all because of me that there are these misunderstandings. I blame myself. Boohoo…”
Xi Jie: “…”
Li Linlin: “???”
The two of them looked at each other and then at the crying Jian Yiyi.
“You’re not together with Lin Yi?” Xi Jie was shocked, but she felt like she had been tricked.
Li Linlin was also unhappy. To think that she treated Jian Yiyi as a friend and someone more important than Lin Yi, whom she had a crush on for a long time.
She lied to both of them!
Faced with her two good friends’ angry and reproachful gazes, Jian Yiyi cried even more. “Why are you looking at me like that? The rumors were spread by others. I’ve never admitted them myself…”
Xi Jie: “…”
Li Linlin: “???”
