Chapter 73: Crying

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon witnessing Song Yin’s pitiable state, some boys contemplated stepping up to defend her, but they were met with stern glares from Tingting. They were well aware of Tingting’s unruly nature. If Song Kai was the male school bully, then Tingting was her female counterpart. Provoking her would undoubtedly lead to unfavorable consequences.

“Don’t try to put on that pitiful expression. I won’t allow anyone to be fooled by you again. You used this same act to manipulate me as a pawn back then, making me a laughingstock in front of the entire school.” Tingting jeered, her tone filled with disdain.

Song Yin understood Tingting’s methods of tormenting people, so she scanned the faces of those present, attempting to tug at their heartstrings.

Regrettably, Tingting had no intention of playing along. She surveyed the crowd and warned, “I suggest you refrain from interfering. I did numerous favors for her in the past, and it all ended in disappointment. Even if you help her today, she’ll likely belittle you and secretly think you’re a fool.”

Tingting’s words dissuaded everyone from intervening. They weren’t naive. They easily recalled the history between Tingting and Song Yin, so they hesitated to help Song Yin.

Song Kai rose from his seat, intending to help Song Yin, primarily because she was a member of the Song Family. However, Song Fan fixed her gaze on him and admonished, “It’s your indulgence that emboldened her to spout such nonsense about the company.”

Suddenly, Song Kai felt that it might be beneficial to teach Song Yin a lesson.

The company’s affairs had been entrusted to his Second Brother’s management. Even he couldn’t casually access sensitive information about the company. Yet, Song Yin dared to make unfounded statements publicly. If people took her words seriously, the consequences could be catastrophic.

From an outsider’s perspective, the words of the Song Family were closely associated with the Song Corporation. Many individuals might follow suit and invest or buy stocks based on her statement, potentially causing upheaval in the entire economic market.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Song Kai couldn’t help but feel that Song Yin had been excessively headstrong. He sighed but refrained from saying more. This response left Song Yin feeling a chill in her heart. Song Kai, who had always been doting, appeared to stand by while she was bullied. Does he only have Song Fan in his eyes now?

This time, Song Yin’s tears were genuine, flowing from the depths of her heart. Her tears were far more sincere than before. Ting Ting followed her gaze and smirked. “Do you believe you’re superior to Song Fan? You’re only indulging in wishful thinking.”

“You don’t have the right to compare yourself to Song Fan. She’s already a teacher at your age, and she’s a teacher that many prestigious schools overseas are vying for. You’ve certainly received an excellent education, but you can’t measure up to her in any way.”

Tingting’s scolding was not easy for many to endure. Song Yin had always used others to further her own objectives, and she had never experienced such a

direct reprimand before. Even if she didn’t maintain her pitiable demeanor, she lacked the capability to retort.

Student A, who was a gaming enthusiast, expressed disdain, saying, “I actually believed you’d seen Sunflower. I never expected you to lie to me.”

“We admire Sunflower greatly. We won’t tolerate anyone spreading false information here,” Student C added.

“Sunflower’s gaming skills are truly unparalleled. A world-class gaming competition is on the horizon, and she’s sure to bring glory to China. I can’t believe you would make such baseless claims. Are you trying to smear Sunflower so that she can’t participate in the competition?”

Student A remarked with a look of disbelief.

Tingting continued to taunt, “She claims that boys excel at playing games, but I think she doesn’t even play ‘Future City’. If you were to ask her about the latest mission, I bet she wouldn’t have a clue.”

Song Yin truly didn’t know the answer. She had never played online games, believing that only those with no taste enjoyed them. If she had the time, she would prefer to practice the piano.

Upon seeing Song Yin hang her head guiltily, the boys felt greatly disappointed. It appeared that even the esteemed school beauty could engage in such behavior.

Song Yin remained unaware of how significant games were to them. Despite their current professions, they had put in hard work to achieve their results. In their hearts, Sunflower held the top position in the industry. Sunflower was a deity they looked up to, and they couldn’t tolerate baseless accusations.

Song Fan quietly observed the situation. Finally, one day, Song Yin experienced what it was like to face criticism from numerous people, something Song Fan had endured since her youth.

After having seen enough, Song Fan left the classroom. Just as she stepped out the door, she overheard Song Yin sobbing inside, “I did it to make everyone like me. I lost my father when I was young, and I always hoped that the people around me would like me. That’s why I couldn’t help but try to please everyone.

I was truly mistaken. Please don’t hate me..”
