They did not let Jian Yiling enter the university.

“Jian Yiling, you’re not welcome here. It’s better for you to go somewhere else.”

​

“Our university is honorable and decent. We don’t accept mistresses here.”

“Yeah, so you better go back overseas. There’s no place for you here.”

As they said this, the few of them pretended to be on the side of justice. They blatantly stopped Jian Yiling from entering the university.

Even if this kind of behavior was filmed and posted on the Internet, the netizens would most likely be on their side.

Everyone wanted to see the mistress being punished.

Jian Yiling had a rather calm expression on her face. She looked at the female students and attempted to walk around them.

And thus, Jian Yiling walked a few steps to the left. However, the people shifted to the left.

They refused to let Jian Yiling get into the university.

“Jian Yiling, do you not understand the human language?”

“Make way,” Jian Yiling said calmly. However, her eyes were biting cold.

Although she was fierce, her words did not have much impact on the girls.

“Huh? Are you mad at us?”

“Why are you shameless? I find it amusing that you’re even coming to university. If I were you, I would hide at home. I wouldn’t even come out of my room!”

The few of them refused to make way for Jian Yiling. In fact, they began to surround her.

Jian Yiling was indifferent to their words. She replied: “I will count to three. Make way by then.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that? Are you threatening us?”

“What do you want?”

“What kind of tricks are you playing?”

Jian Yiling began to count: “One.”

“Two.”

“Three.”

They all looked at Jian Yiling. None of them knew what she wanted to do.

After Jian Yiling finished counting to “three,” four female bodyguards arrived beside Jian Yiling.

They made way for Jian Yiling.

No matter how unreasonable and violent the female students were, they were still no match for the professionally trained female bodyguards.

And thus, a path opened up for Jian Yiling.

As the female students were separated by the bodyguards, they could only watch Jian Yiling walk away.

Although they were unable to physically block Jian Yiling from entering the university, their words were still unforgiving.

“Were these bodyguards arranged for you by the middle-aged man? Is he worried about you being beaten up once everyone knows you’re a mistress?”

“Just because you have money, do you think that you can do whatever you want?”

“If you think you’re capable, you should take us on! You shouldn’t hide behind bodyguards!”

The words of the female students were totally unrestrained.

This was because they were sure that even if Jian Yiling’s bodyguards were powerful, they couldn’t do anything to them in broad daylight.

If they dared to do anything to them, they could easily post the video online. This would definitely cause Jian Yiling to suffer more.

However, Jian Yiling simply ignored them. Instead, she headed into her laboratory.

When she got into her laboratory, Jian Yiling saw her mentor that was typically chill about everything.

When her mentor saw Jian Yiling, there was a slightly awkward expression on her face. It was as though she wanted to say something but she couldn’t.

“Jian Yiling, I believe in you. I believe that you’re not that kind of person,” the female mentor said. She stated her faith in Jian Yiling.

“However…”

After a long pause, the female mentor said the word “however.”

“The public opinion and the comments on the Internet are so crazy right now. I have no choice either. Would it be okay for you to stay home for a few days? You can come back once things get better.”

There was helplessness in the female mentor’s voice.

“I understand,” Jian Yiling replied as she left the laboratory.

She could break through the students who blocked her at the university gates. However, if they did not welcome her, she could not do anything about that.

When the female mentor saw Jian Yiling leave, she felt rather upset as well.

However, she was just an ordinary mentor. She could not do anything when faced with the enormous amount of pressure from public opinion.
