“I’ve long heard that there are two old professors in the mathematics department at the University of Miliye. One of them was poached from the University of Country Y. But did you hear that he just said that he jumped ship because of Ella?” People around them had long noticed this exchange and they started to discuss boldly seeing Elder Mrs. Yan’s relaxed attitude.
“Why have you only heard about it now? This news has been around for ten years. It’s said that at that time, Professor John wanted Ella to enter the University of Country Y, but the university didn’t accept her because of the tuition fees. Professor John was so angry that he resigned and submitted his resume to the University of Miliye.” Another person also clicked his tongue in wonder. Back then, that piece of academic gossip was quite famous.
It was said that after John brought Ella to the University of Miliye, he happened to meet his old rival, Hans. The two of them hit it off and said that they would do anything to get Ella to stay and study in Miliye.
After much difficulty, they managed to get Ella to enroll in the school for free, but the two of them fought over who to teach her. In the end, they somehow came to a settlement, and it became two mathematics professors teaching the same student.
Yan Yue had wanted to enter Miliye so badly back then, so she naturally knew about this story.
It was just that at that time, she had admired the protagonist of this story, Ella, and she felt that such an outstanding person deserved such treatment.
Now… she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten ten flies.
The Bai Lin that she had let others belittle, the person that everyone thought was uneducated and had been ridiculed by countless people, was actually Ella who she had once idolized.
This was too ironic.
Yan Yue went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
She held onto the arm of an heiress beside her and finally managed to stand up. The discussions of the people around her rushed into her ears like a tide.
“What a huge reversal. You really can’t judge a book by its cover. The person who’s dressed like that to attend the banquet is actually the genius of Miliye, Ella.” A male voice was heard.
A female voice immediately retorted, “Don’t say that. The mind and aesthetic taste of geniuses are different from ours. Don’t you know what a secret prodigy is? The more unremarkable a person looks, the more likely they’re a big shot!”
“But why didn’t she clarify her education background before? If she’d said that she’s Ella earlier, there wouldn’t be so many people who’d dare say such things about her,” the man asked again.
“Hmph! That’s because you don’t understand Bai Lin-jiejie!” Yan Yu appeared out of nowhere and put her hands on her waist like an adult as she explained, “If someone made Bai Lin-jiejie unhappy, she’d scold them back. For things like this, she must be humble and doesn’t want to argue with those people!’
Seeing that there was a loyal fan of Bai Lin here, the pair started to tease Yan Yu with the thought to get to know Bai Lin better so that they could build a good relationship with her in the future.
Yan Yu’s face turned red with excitement when she saw that someone was willing to find out about Bai Lin. She excitedly told them about Bai Lin’s legendary stories.
“Xiao Yu, come over here!”
Yan Yue’s cold eyes shot daggers at Yan Yu but she was so immersed in the joy of sharing her idol with others that she did not notice how dark Yan Yue’s expression was.
The heiresses and minor celebrities around Yan Yue had already dispersed. Their faces were burning.
Compared to Bai Lin, their academic qualifications were not worth mentioning.
Now that she was someone who Elder Mrs. Yan could call by name, how would small fry like them dare to approach her for a scolding? It was better to find a place to hide so that Bai Lin would not remember how they ridiculed her in case their entire family had to suffer.
Yan Yue grabbed the bar counter and gulped down a glass of white wine.
She could not and must not let Bai Lin steal all the limelight at this banquet!
She no longer dared to underestimate Bai Lin now.
Meeting such a strong opponent on her way to marry Yan Ruo caused her to fall into a strange excitement. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would completely trample Bai Lin under her feet.
So what if she was the legend in Miliye?!
At most… The corners of Yan Yue’s mouth curled up, and her eyes glowed with a cold, venomous light..
