Chapter 160: Serious Demerit
"Zhong Nianyao, why do you have to be so harsh!" Li Jingming's face was not very good. "Xiaoxue did do something wrong this time, but she didn't do it on purpose. She did it for a reason. She-"
"Why she did this has nothing to do with me," Zhong Nianyao interrupted Li Jingming directly, "I have nothing to do with her, and there is no need for me to tolerate her. So, there is no need for you to waste time talking to me here."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's unmoved appearance, Li Jingming became a little anxious. "Zhong Nianyao, please let Xiaoxue go this time! Just think of it as helping her this time for my sake, right? Think of it as helping me too."
Hearing this, Zhong Nianyao felt goosebumps all over her body. When she looked at Li Jingming, her eyes were almost like looking at a fool, "Li Jingming, you don't think you have any face here with me, do you? Who do you think you are? Help you? I want to step on you a few more times now, do you know that?"
These words made Li Jingming's face turn blue and purple.
Before Li Jingming could open his mouth to refute, Zhong Nianyao continued to speak, "Li Jingming, if you don't understand what I'm saying, then I can explain it to you clearly. Don't try to show your superiority in front of me. I have no interest in you at all. I was blind and young and naive before, so I fell in love with you."
"Actually, take a good look at yourself. What qualities do you have that could possibly win my affection? In terms of family background and financial resources, you're no match for me. Why do you feel any sense of superiority over me?"
Li Jingming's face was so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out. "Zhong Nianyao, you——"
"You don't need to keep calling my name. I know what my name is." Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "Li Jingming, you and Shen Yixue have no weight in my eyes. So, don't try to find any sense of existence in front of me. No matter how the school handles this matter, I will not plead for Shen Yixue."
"Shen Yixue is already an adult, she must be responsible for what she has done. She was the one who chose to steal my painting, so now she must bear the consequences."
After saying that, without paying any attention to Li Jingming's ugly expression, Zhong Nian Yao turned around and left.
Li Jingming was left there, his face ashen, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes full of anger.
A few days later, the results of the calligraphy and painting association came out, correcting that the champion of this calligraphy and painting competition was Zhong Nianyao, not Shen Yixue. At the same time, the fact that Shen Yixue had stolen Zhong Nianyao's painting was also reported.
After this incident, it can be said that it will be difficult for Shen Yixue to make a name for herself in the art world.
Shortly after the results of the calligraphy and painting association came out, the school also criticized Shen Yixue for what she had done and gave her a serious warning.
Unless Shen Yixue made a significant contribution to the academy, this serious offense would remain in effect until graduation. In other words, this serious offense would be recorded in Shen Yixue's file and would follow her for the rest of her life.
When she received the notification from the academy, Shen Yixue was still living in the hotel.
Of course, she did not have the ability to bear the hotel expenses all the time, so the person who paid for it now was naturally Li Jingming.
At this moment, Shen Yixue was like being struck by lightning. She didn't expect that the school would give her a disciplinary record in the end. She never thought that it would end up like this.
Right now, she was completely lost about her future. No, let alone the future, right now, she didn't know what to do.
She was able to study at Tenglong College because she was specially recruited by the school. The school waived her tuition and fees every year and also provided her with a scholarship, which is why she was able to live such a comfortable life.
However, now that she had been given a serious warning by the school, she would definitely not receive any scholarships in the future. Furthermore, the college's tuition and fees would not be waived. How could she continue her studies there?
Apart from anything else, the annual tuition and miscellaneous fees at Tamron College amount to over one million yuan, which her family could not possibly afford.
However, if she dropped out of Tamron College, no other school would be willing to accept her!
Most importantly, she had studied at a top college like Tenglong College. If she were to go to an ordinary college now, she would not be able to adapt at all.
The only thing she could do now was to cling tightly to Li Jingming, the lifeline. No matter what, she couldn't let Li Jingming leave her. Otherwise, she would have no hope of making a breakthrough in the rest of her life.
After learning about the punishment from the school, Li Jingming rushed to the hotel immediately.
As soon as he entered the room, all he saw was Shen Yixue sitting there silently, shedding tears.
Seeing this scene, Li Jingming felt extremely distressed. He hurried forward and hugged Shen Yixue tightly in his arms, "Xiaoxue, you——"
When the words came to his lips, for a moment, he didn't know how to comfort Shen Yixue.
"Jingming, tell me, what should I do in the future?" Shen Yixue's voice was filled with tears and suppressed grievances. "Now that things have come to this, how can I gain a foothold in the academy in the future?"
"It's okay," Li Jingming patted Shen Yixue's back and whispered soothingly, "There are so many new things happening every day in the academy, and people are very forgetful. Everyone will forget about this matter soon."
Shen Yixue was still crying, "Jingming, I'm afraid I won't be able to study in the same school with you in the future."
After hearing what Shen Yixue said, Li Jingming couldn't help but frowned, "Xiaoxue, are you going to transfer schools because of this? There's really no need for that. The heat of this matter won't last too long, and you'll soon be able to return to a peaceful life. Besides, as long as you continue to stay in the academy, the punishment you bear will have a chance to be eliminated!"
Although the chance of this happening is slim, there is still hope. Once you leave, it's truly gone for life.
“No.” Shen Yixue shook her head, but didn’t say anything.
Li Jingming became even more anxious when he saw this, "Xiaoxue, say something! If you keep doing this, there's nothing I can do to help you!"
"It's useless, you can't help me." Shen Yixue cried, "No one can help me with this matter."
