On the main stage, Ling Mo gently held the slender stand of the standing microphone, facing the vast crowd of students on the playground, and slowly began to speak:
"First of all, I want to emphasize that Xiao Qin, the medical assistant, and I are not in a romantic relationship."
"If you're not boyfriend and girlfriend, then what is your relationship? Is it a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship?" Liang Feifan disliked Ling Mo's protectiveness of Qin Beiming in her words and questioned her sarcastically.
"Mr. Liang, please watch your words."
Ling Mo glanced at Liang Feifan indifferently, then said:
"Before Xiao Qin took up his post as a medical assistant, he did indeed come to me under the guise of being my uncle. The reason he came to me was to provide me with information about the kidnappers in the Emperor Hotel kidnapping case. The police can confirm this."
"Stop using the police to intimidate me." Liang Feifan was angry, and his tone became increasingly sharp. "If what you say is true, and he contacted you to provide information about the kidnappers in the kidnapping case, why did he lie and say he was your uncle? Furthermore, shouldn't he provide clues directly to the police? Why did he have to come all the way to you?"
"The reason why Assistant Qin impersonated my uncle was simply to shut up people like you with filthy thoughts. Besides, the kidnapping case has been solved. Although I can't mention the mastermind behind it, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind's intended target was me. Assistant Qin was worried about my safety and came to the school to find me. What's wrong with that?"
When Ling Mo mentioned the mastermind behind the kidnapping case, his sharp eyes lingered on Ling Tian for a long while.
When the students on the playground heard what Ling Mo said, the scene briefly spiraled out of control.
"This is outrageous! I never imagined that the shocking kidnapping case at the Emperor Hotel had such a hidden story!"
"I bet the people who wanted to kidnap Ling Mo were Ling Tian and her movie star mother."
"Who knows, Liang Feifan might have been involved in this as well."
"Poor Ling Mo! I want to rush onto the stage and beat up Liang Feifan and Ling Tian."
"No wonder Ling Mo's academic performance is so excellent, yet he has never shown his talent before. It seems he was bullied and was afraid to act in a low-key manner."
...
Qin Beiming, standing amidst the throng of students, tilted his head slightly and looked straight ahead at Ling Mo, who was sharing a room with Guang on the main stage. His sharp, hawk-like eyes were filled with doting affection.
After hearing Ling Mo's immediate denial of the rumors about her and Qin Beiming, Mr. Smith glanced at Qin Beiming with slight concern and softly comforted him:
"Don't be sad, keep trying! It's okay that she won't admit she's your girlfriend right now. Who knows, by this time next year, she might already be Mrs. Qin."
"This child has finally learned to protect himself, that's good."
Qin Beiming witnessed Ling Mo skillfully redirect the blame back to Liang Feifan, and knowing that she had not suffered in silence because of Liang Feifan and the others, he felt a sense of relief, like watching his daughter grow up.
After a while, when the discussions on the playground gradually subsided, Ling Mo finally spoke, continuing to refute the rumors:
“In recent days, rumors about my personal conduct before I transferred schools have been rampant. Some say I was in a relationship too early, others say I was young and not studying properly and dating several people at the same time, and some even forged a fake miscarriage certificate. These rumors have seriously affected my normal life. I have formally filed a lawsuit with the prosecution and will use medical examination to prove my innocence.”
"You still have a clean record? Let me tell you the truth, these three miscarriage certificates were provided to me by your cousin in the countryside."
Liang Feifan suddenly felt that Ling Mo's acting skills had reached a level of perfection. If he hadn't seen through her true colors long ago, he would very likely have been deceived by her sweet words.
Ling Mo was stunned. Thinking of her treacherous cousin Shi Yi, she felt another sting on her cheek.
The horrific scene of being doused with strong acid before my rebirth remains vivid in my memory, and the excruciating pain lingers in my heart, transforming into a bone-deep hatred.
Qin Beiming noticed that Ling Mo's expression was not right, and his handsome eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
He wanted to step onto the stage and hold her hand tightly, but he was also worried that his rash actions would ruin her previous clarification.
This feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.
If they were engaged, he could stand up for her without hesitation and clear away all obstacles for her.
Thinking of this, Qin Beiming suddenly turned his attention to the suggestion that Old Madam Qin had made not long ago.
Shijian Group is facing a double crisis of reputation and capital chain. Ling Yunlong is eager to raise funds and has already intended to arrange a marriage between Ling Mo and the foolish son of the Jiang family.
Although the Qin family has kept a low profile in recent years, their status in Linjiang is far beyond that of the Jiang family.
If he were to extend an olive branch to Ling Yunlong, Ling Yunlong would likely prefer to marry this sickly young master from a distinguished family...
Just as Qin Beiming was lost in her own fantasy, Ling Mo, in front of the entire school, held up a standing microphone and played the audio recording Liang Feifan had made while coercing her.
"These words were whispered to me by Mr. Liang backstage. He meant that if I didn't agree to be his mistress, he would go on stage to smear me and ruin my reputation. I knew Mr. Liang was up to no good, and having suffered losses many times before, I kept my eyes open and recorded his vile words word for word."
Ling Mo spoke calmly, a faint smile always on his face.
Liang Feifan, who was standing to the side, lost his initial confidence. He never expected that Ling Mo would record his voice. Now, even if he had a hundred mouths, he probably wouldn't be able to clear his name.
