Chapter 298: Back then, many people confessed to me!
Mu Yan was a bit surprised that Dong Le and the others kept apologizing on behalf of Lan Xi.It wasn’t until she asked that she found out her allergy was caused by Lan Xi.
Lan Xi deliberately put shrimp in the soup to test if she was really allergic.
She found it funny, Lan Xi was already twenty-three or twenty-four, yet acted so childish.
"Sister-in-law, Lan Xi really didn’t mean any harm. She’s very guilty about your allergy. Can you forgive her?" Dong Le looked at her anxiously.
Mu Yan smiled, "It’s alright, she didn’t do it on purpose."
Although she hadn’t interacted with Lan Xi much, she didn’t seem like a malicious person.
At most, she just had a bit of a ’princess complex’, thinking the whole world revolved around her.
When Dong Le and the others heard this, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter made them realize her status in Brother Jiang’s heart. With her words, Brother Jiang probably wouldn’t continue to punish Lan Xi.
"Alright, everyone leave now, let Mu Yan rest." Jiang Jingheng suddenly said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, have a good rest."
The group bid farewell and left.
In the ward, only Mu Yan, Jiang Jingheng, and Song Cheng’an remained.
Seeing that Song Cheng’an hadn’t left, Mu Yan asked, "Brother Song, is there something going on?"
Song Cheng’an nodded, "Huamei School has reached a conclusion."
He handed his phone to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan glanced at him, took the phone, and saw Huamei’s official blog post from this morning.
It turned out the person who insisted on Mu Yan’s expulsion back then was the school’s director of academic affairs.
His son, Guo, had his eyes on Mu Yan back in the day but was harshly rejected by her.
Unwilling to accept it, Guo used her being suspected of plagiarism as a pretext, threatening her with expulsion to force her to comply.
But Mu Yan didn’t beg him and was expelled just like that.
Soon, someone released a video.
In the video, a boy was holding a bouquet, arranging heart-shaped candles to confess to a girl, only to be mercilessly rejected.
The girl was clearly Mu Yan, just much younger than she was now.
Netizens, upon seeing the news, expressed indignation on Mu Yan’s behalf.
"Goodness, can he look at his ugly face in the mirror? He’s not even worthy to tie Yan Bao’s shoes."
"Damn, Mu Yan is really unlucky to be fancied by such trash."
"Human nature is truly dark. In our school, a girl was rejected by a boy and had her throat slit on the spot. Suddenly thankful this guy didn’t kill Mu Yan!"
...
However, some questioned if an academic affairs director truly had the power to expel such an excellent student.
Perhaps he was just a scapegoat.
The real person targeting Mu Yan might be someone else.
Mu Yan turned off the phone and looked at Song Cheng’an, "Don’t you think this video was released too conveniently, as if to prove that the Guo Family had the motive to harm me and get me expelled?"
Song Cheng’an nodded, "I think so too. Did this Guo really try to pressure you?"
A flash of coldness passed quickly in Jiang Jingheng’s eyes, chilling the surrounding temperature in an instant.
Mu Yan didn’t notice, she thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I have no recollection of the person in the video, so I guess not."
The coldness in Jiang Jingheng’s light brown eyes dissipated, and his gaze toward Mu Yan grew increasingly gentle.
Song Cheng’an looked at Mu Yan in surprise, "He went through all that effort to confess to you, and you don’t even remember what he looks like?"
Mu Yan was a bit helpless, "Back then, many people confessed to me, I can’t remember everyone."
What’s more, at that time she was focused on her studies, not having the mindset to pay attention to these boys.
"Oh? Many? How many? Tell me about it," came a teasing voice from beside her.
