...
The audience was arguing back and forth, and now everyone was leaning more towards Yan Yinran.
After all, even the dean personally refuted the rumor, so how could it be false?
“Words are not enough; everyone can see Yan Yinran’s admission score.”
Soon, the big screen displayed Yan Yinran's information about being admitted to the Dance Academy of City A.
The audience erupted in shock, completely captivated by the proof.
"In addition, Teacher Yingxi and the president of Lengye Group are also present. You can listen to what they have to say. This conference was held only to clear Yan Yinran's name. Such public opinion has already caused inconvenience to her life and studies."
Although it happened less than a day ago, Yan Yinran has indeed been greatly affected by this incident.
There were people blocking their way before and after class. If Wei Yanyu hadn't been so shrewd, they would have been ambushed countless times!
Everyone looked at her with sarcasm and disapproval. There were also many particularly offensive verbal attacks; if Yan Yinran hadn't been so resilient, she would have cried hundreds of times over.
"Ahhh! Ranran! Did you hear that? Your sister and Mr. Leng are here!"
Wei Yanyu stood up excitedly, so that Yan Yinran wouldn't be afraid of being bullied by them.
"Why did my sister come here? Did the headmaster call her?"
But the dean has already clarified things for her, why bother Yan Xiluo to make another trip...?
She knew she was busy when she got back, which made her feel like she was being called in by her parents.
But she wasn't the one who did something wrong, so why call her parents?
Ugh...
Yan Yinran's face clearly showed worry.
"We don't know either. Did Teacher Yingxi send you a message?"
If Yan Yinran didn't know, then she, an outsider, knew even less.
However, she was quite excited to see her idol again today!
"No, I had no idea she was back. I'm so nervous, like I've done something wrong and my parents are being called in..."
Yan Yinran was initially overjoyed that Yan Xiluo would come, but now, thinking about it, she felt like crying...
"Maybe your sister saw those comments online and came here because she was worried about you? Don't overthink it~"
Wei Yanyu comforted her, and she felt that Yingxi's arrival was not a bad thing, so what was there to worry about?
"Okay, let's hear what my sister has to say in a bit."
Yan Yinran was anxious and had come to the curtain at the exit to see what was happening outside.
She glanced over and met Leng Mingye's cold eyes. If she wasn't mistaken, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
When he turned his eyes again, he saw Yan Xi standing not far from him.
It instantly made her feel incredibly safe.
Especially when he saw Yan Xiluo give him a knowing smile.
She felt all her grievances disappear. She didn't cry when people blocked her way or insulted her.
When she saw Yan Xiluo's heartwarming smile, she couldn't hold back her tears.
She and Wei Yanyu could only watch from afar; they couldn't go out.
"Next, please welcome Ms. Yingxi to come up and say a few words."
The dean had said quite a few things before this, but Yan Yinran hadn't been listening to any of them.
A burst of applause and cheers erupted from the audience, warmly welcoming Yan Xiluo's arrival.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yingxi. I'm here today for two things."
Yan Xiluo walked onto the stage, took the microphone from the dean with an air of authority, exchanged glances with the dean, and then spoke calmly and patiently.
"First, I'd like to clarify a few points regarding what's being said online. Yan Yinran is my sister; this isn't a rumor, it's a fact. The claim that I gave her preferential treatment is false. What I'm about to say might make some of you uncomfortable, but I still have to say it."
Yan Xiluo spoke while her eyes were fixed on Ji Yumeng, making Ji Yumeng feel uneasy.
Feeling guilty, she lowered her head, not knowing why Yingxi was staring at her.
"If there were anyone more capable than her, she wouldn't be my choice for solo and group dance lead. But why her? Because you can't compare. I've said before that the group dance selection isn't final; there will be substitutes, and those who aren't good enough will be replaced at any time. Of course, the same applies to the lead dancer. Don't think that being selected means everything is settled. I haven't even had a chance to announce these words and my decision yet, but some people with ulterior motives have already maliciously fabricated and speculated about them."
After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she suddenly smiled at Ji Yumeng, but the meaning of her smile was unclear.
Ji Yumeng was startled when she met his gaze; the look in his eyes seemed to be directed at her.
She was the thoughtful person she was talking about.
"I'm not here today for my own reputation. I'm already at the top of the industry, and that's my achievement. I don't care what others think. Some people might think I'm arrogant, but so what? I have the right to be arrogant. I'm just here as an older sister to protect my younger sister. Because of my status, people think she got in through connections. Her abilities shouldn't be doubted. While you're still sleeping in, she's already practicing dance. While you're dreaming at night, she's still practicing in her home dance studio."
She had seen these things at home before, and she knew how damaging public opinion could be.
Yan Yinran is a rising star in the dance world, and she has a long dance career ahead of her!
Whether as her teacher or her older sister, she would never allow anyone to bully her.
"If you really want to say I gave her special treatment, maybe she's just luckier than you guys because she's my sister. As long as I'm home, I can guide her anytime. Of course, she came to me of her own accord. But the special treatment wasn't something I opened for her; it was opened by fate and herself. Fate gave her talent, that's the special treatment fate opened for her. She worked hard and diligently, that's the special treatment she opened for herself."
Everyone listened attentively to what Yan Xiluo said, and no one was distracted except for Ji Yumeng.
No one felt offended by what Yan Xiluo said; on the contrary, they admired her even more.
"Secondly, whether as a teacher or as an older sister, I will pursue this matter to the end with the school and will not tolerate it. Furthermore, I will never forgive them, even though the dean has already given me a chance. That's all I have to say for today, and I apologize for taking up everyone's time."
After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, her gaze towards Ji Yumeng deepened.
With one hand in his pocket, he walked off the stage cleanly and neatly, handing the microphone to a staff member.
Yan Xiluo stepped off the stage from the exit and immediately gave Yan Yinran a hug.
"Sister~"
Yan Yinran burst into tears of grievance; what Yan Xiluo had just said had really touched her heart.
The way Yan Xiluo stood up for her was so cool! Absolutely awesome!
Yan Xiluo knew that she had suffered too much today, so she quickly comforted her back.
If she hadn't gone back to the old house and the Lin family home today, perhaps she would have discovered it sooner. After returning home, she spent time with her family and barely checked her phone.
