Madam Jiang pointed at Xiao Lingye with a trembling finger and said in an abnormally angry tone, "You didn't assault my daughter, so did my daughter assault you? You Little Brat, you still say that you are a student of the imperial university. You don't even act like one!"
While Madam Jiang was scolding Xiao Lingye, she was also questioning the reputation of the imperial university. She was implying that the imperial university did not educate its students properly.
When Principal Li heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly.
Principal Li said, "Madam Jiang, please be careful with your words! When these children came to Imperial University, they were all adults. They are grown adults. The school cannot restrict them. The school's responsibility is mainly to educate and nurture them. As for those who are morally corrupt, the school has its own rules. We don't need comments from outsiders."
He was accusing Madam Jiang of impropriety.
Madam Jiang's face was red and black after being criticized by Principal Li in public. Her lips trembled twice as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end, she did not say anything. Madam Jiang turned her attention to Xiao Lingye and asked sharply, "Tell me. What are you going to do now?"
Xiao Lingye stared at Madam Jiang with his sharp eyes and asked calmly, "Madam Jiang, what do you mean by what?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Madam Jiang was both angry and angry as she questioned loudly, "You ruined my daughter. Don't you need to give us an explanation?"
Xiao Lingye took a deep breath, then said with determination and conviction, "Mrs. Jiang, I'll say it again. I didn't assault your daughter, and I didn't ruin Jiang Shuyu's innocence!"
"You're still stubborn even now!" Mrs. Jiang was really angry.
If Xiao Lingye were really an ordinary country boy, they wouldn't need to do this at all. They could have made him disappear easily.
However, they knew Xiao Lingye's identity, and they couldn't be too harsh on him.
Madam Jiang took out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them at Xiao Lingye's face. She said angrily, "Then tell me, what are these things? There are material evidence and witnesses."
Most of the photos that Madam Jiang threw out were posted on the campus. A few of them were new. They were from inside a hotel room.
Xiao Lingye's face darkened when he saw these photos. Then, he calmly asked, "Madam Jiang, may I ask where you got these photos from?"
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, a wave of anger rose in her heart.
She shouted angrily, "Xiao Lingye, don't push it! Don't think that..." Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you're Gong Tianhao's brother-in-law.
However, Mr. Jiang knew his wife very well. He knew that she might say something that she shouldn't have. He immediately took over. With a gloomy face, he shouted sternly, "Don't think that Imperial University can protect you just because you're a student here. Let me tell you. This is related to your character. Imperial University will definitely not tolerate students with bad character and morals, isn't that right, President Li?"
President Li also nodded seriously and said, "That's right. Regarding students with bad character and morals, our school will definitely not tolerate them. They may be expelled from the school."
An expulsion was very serious. If one were expelled from Imperial University, no other university would take them anymore. Then, they would have trouble finding work. In short, their life would be ruined.
Mr. Jiang nodded and said to Xiao Lingye seriously, "Young man, did you hear that? You are still young, and I heard that you are a very capable and talented person. You don't want to see your bright future destroyed just like that, right?" The words were short but threatening.
They really wanted Xiao Lingye to admit to this matter.
Xiao Lingye pursed his lips and thought for a moment before calmly asking, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Actually, he was also testing the Jiang couple's attitude.
The Jiang couple obviously came prepared. Moreover, Jiang Shuyu knew his identity, so it was natural that her parents would know his identity too. Otherwise, their attitude would have been much worse.
He wanted to figure out what the Jiang couple wanted to do so that he could come up with a plan for the next step.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed. Then, she asked loudly, "How dare you ask that? My good daughter has been ruined by you. If it were any other parents, they would have already called the police and arrested you. But we are kind-hearted and can't bear to see a talented person like you being ruined. That's why we came to the school and wanted to have a good talk with you."
She didn't reveal her purpose but framed her words like she was doing this for Xiao Lingye's own good. It made it look like a good person. They were not people who pressured others.
When Xiao Lingye heard Madam Jiang's words, he did not reply. He only looked at Madam Jiang with a calm expression, as if he was waiting for Madam Jiang to continue speaking.
When Madam Jiang saw this, she felt a wave of resentment in her heart. She secretly cursed this kid. If he didn't say anything, she couldn't continue with her plan.
At this moment, Principal Li smiled and looked at Xiao Lingye with an extremely kind attitude. He said, "Student Xiao, Mr. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang are really a pair of kind people. After such a thing had happened, they are still willing to have a talk with you. Don't let down their benevolence."
Xiao Lingye nodded and said, "Principal, I know." But then he still insisted, "But I'm also a very principled person. I won't admit to things that I haven't done. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't admit it.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jiang said that they wanted to have a good talk with me, and I'll gladly do that. What I want to know is, where did Mr. and Mrs. Jiang get these photos from? Also, when you saw these photos, did you investigate the truth? Are these photos real?"
Mr. Jiang's face darkened, and he asked sternly, "Young man, what do you mean by this? So, you still won't admit that you've ruined my daughter?"
Mrs. Jiang was very angry, and she questioned loudly in an overbearing manner, "Xiao Lingye, do you know what kind of status our Jiang family has in the capital? Do you think we have to frame you? Who do you think you are?"
Mrs. Jiang was really very angry.
When they received these photos, they also doubted the authenticity of the photos. However, they also noticed that something was wrong with their daughter. Every day, she looked absent-minded, which made them very worried.
They immediately took these photos to question Jiang Shuyu.
In the end, Jiang Shuyu told them that these photos were real and that she was raped by Xiao Lingye. She said that she didn't expect Xiao Lingye to be such a hypocrite. After she saw her true colors, she was devastated.
When the Jiang couple heard this, they were anxious and angry.
Previously, they agreed for their daughter to pursue Xiao Lingye because he had a powerful background and was talented. They knew that he was a good man and would give their daughter happiness.
However, they did not expect Xiao Lingye to be such a hypocrite. At this moment, they regretted encouraging their daughter to pursue Xiao Lingye.
However, things had happened, and their daughter's innocence had been ruined by Xiao Lingye. They needed Xiao Lingye to be responsible.
But to be honest, their real goal was to get the Gong Family to be responsible. After all, what could they really get from a country bumpkin like Xiao Lingye?
