Chapter 309: Change in the Situation Slaps Mo Shiyun in the Face (3)

Zhu Sha no longer knew what to say. She couldn’t stand the looks that she was receiving from everyone around her. She just wanted to get out of the cafeteria.

However, how could things be that convenient for her?

She had been so confident when she questioned Jian Yiling. And thus, it was impossible for her to run away when she found out that she was in the wrong.

Jian Yunnao’s face was stern as he demanded Zhu Sha and Mo Shiyun to apologize to his sister: “Well, are you going to apologize to Yiling now?”

This request made Zhu Sha’s heart feel incredibly uncomfortable.

She had always hated Jian Yiling. And now, she was being asked to apologize and bow down to that girl?

However, the person who was standing in front of her right now was Jian Yunnao. He had requested for her to apologize.

Zhu Sha felt as if there were a thousand ants crawling in her mind.

Everyone else in the cafeteria was also staring at her. They were waiting for Zhu Sha and Mo Shiyun to apologize to Jian Yiling.

Both of them had accused Jian Yiling of doing something that she hadn’t done. Now that the truth had come out, an apology was the least they could do.

And thus, Zhu Sha was forced to apologize to Jian Yiling: “Jian Yiling, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

However, from her tone, no one could hear any sincerity in the apology.

“I don’t forgive you,” Jian Yiling replied.

It was a simple and straightforward statement. Jian Yiling refused to show any mercy to Zhu Sha.

Jian Yunnao also believed that his sister should not accept such an insincere apology:

“Zhu Sha, you either apologize properly or just forget about apologizing. Don’t act as though you’re a victim. It’s you who did something wrong. No one is forcing you to apologize or something.”

Zhu Sha’s heart felt crushed. The person that she had been secretly in love with was saying such things to her.

Tears escaped from her eyes as she cried out: “I’m... I’m sorry. I... It won’t happen again.”

This time, she was genuinely sorry.

This apology was much more sincere than the one she had given earlier.

Then, everyone’s eyes turned to Mo Shiyun. Zhu Sha had already apologized. It was time for Mo Shiyun to apologize.

Under the gaze of everyone in the cafeteria, Mo Shiyun bit down on her lower lip and tried to hold back her emotions as she said: “Just now... It’s my fault. I misunderstood the situation. I hope you won’t take it personally...”

Mo Shiyun’s eyes were red as she said this. Her voice was weak and her tone was slow and soft.

“I’m not interested in the entertainment industry. There’s no need for me to make life difficult for you,” Jian Yiling stated. She hoped that she wouldn’t get accused of these strange things in the future.

She didn’t like to get involved with Mo Shiyun.

However, when Jian Yiling’s words fell on Mo Shiyun’s ears, the words had seemed to change completely.

Not interested in the entertainment industry... No need to make life difficult for her...

What a condescending gesture.

In Jian Yiling’s eyes, it seemed as though Mo Shiyun wasn’t even qualified to compete with her.

Jian Yiling had also looked at her with the same attitude when her mother was still working as a maid in the Jian Residence.

It seemed as though she wasn’t even worthy to compete with Jian Yiling.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t think much of the situation. After she finished talking to Mo Shiyun, she left the cafeteria with Hu Jiaojiao.

After Jian Yiling left, everyone else gradually dispersed. They all returned to their respective classrooms for the remainder of their lunch break,

However, not long after everyone got back to their classrooms, more news had gotten released.

It was the same account that had released the news story of Yun Wei’s affair with the investor.

This story exposed the behind the scenes information on how Mo Shiyun had been offered the role.

It turned out that the original third female lead hadn’t gotten the role in an honorable manner either. Her role had also been secured by another insider of the entertainment industry.

The chat logs between Ms. Qian and Mo Shiyun had also been released.

This led to an immediate reversal of the sympathy that had previously been expressed for Mo Shiyun.

[I thought that she was a victim. Turns out that it’s someone with more connections who bested someone with fewer connections.]
