Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 148-149

Wen Xuehui threw her arms around Jiang Yao's arm and laughed hysterically. "Haha, oh my goodness! Then, does she mean that I'm my dad's sugar baby? I ride in his car every day!"

"There's a saying that goes 'the eyes are the mirror of the soul'. What she sees reflects what her mind thinks. She can't see anything good with a filthy mind. She fails to see the beauty of this world because her soul lacks truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance." Jiang Yao smiled sweetly and thought, 'Zhang Xiqing, do you think it's over? I don't think so.'

"For example, if the person in the photo isn't me, my first thought when I see this photo would be that perhaps the man is the girl's brother. He gave his sister a lift to college because he loves her. Another possibility is that they are very good friends. The man came here to meet the girl and they went out for a meal or coffee." Then, Jiang Yao stood with a light smile on her face and stopped talking.

At this point, no one in the crowd doubted Jiang Yao.

Donning an elegant smile, she never showed any panic nor anger since she was wronged. She was as calm as a millpond when she was accused. Not only did she clear her name confidently, but she had also avenged herself from those who had wronged her mercilessly!

'Zhang Xiqing, you branded me as a harlot, so don't think I'll let you off the hook after I clear my name! I'll let you taste a dose of your own medicine!'

"Alright, that's enough! You're all young students, all this talk about sugar daddies and sugar babies offends our university's standards of propriety!" The director glanced at Zhang Xiqing, who was so angry her face turned green. He adored Jiang Yao even more now for her charisma and capabilities!

"Miss Jiang Yao, did you forget something? In your speeches, you never did explain where your mobile phone originated from and what your relationship with the man in the photograph is," Professor Chen, who was watching from the side this whole time, suddenly said.

"It's a waste that you're not one of our students in the Department of Literature. You've missed all the crucial points despite the lengthy speeches you gave and I'm impressed with how you have a way with words that is able to fool everyone here, but not me. I want to know where you got your phone from. What is the true nature of your relationship with that man? Do you dare to say that the phone was not a gift to you from the man?"

Professor Chen was so forthcoming about this because he had happened to witness the man handing the mobile phone over to her yesterday. At the time, although he had speculated the nature of their relationship, he didn't pay much attention to it because he didn't even know who the girl was.

However, since Miss Zhang had laid everything out on the table and was at a disadvantage, he, who had been receiving a lot of help from the Zhang family, must take Miss Zhang's side and support her.

"Oh, I didn't know that you take interest in this kind of matters too, Professor Chen. I'm curious though—why do you want to know my relationship with the man so badly? Is it possible that you too think that the man is my sugar daddy?" Jiang Yao recognized the man as soon as he spoke.

She knew that Professor Chen was taking the Zhang family's side as he always did. In her previous life, Zhang Xiqing had become his postgraduate student after graduation. He tried his best to help her and boost her reputation. Labeling Zhang Xiqing as the goddess of the Department of Literature was his doing.

Nonetheless, everyone who went against her would receive her fatal blow. Moreover, Professor Chen couldn't extend his influence over the Department of Medicine.

She literally just said that the eyes were the mirror of the soul. It reflected on Professor Chen immediately, criticizing him for having a mindset of a cad.

"Okay, Professor Chen. Since you are so curious about me, I'll be truthful, despite my reluctance." Jiang Yao arched her eyebrows and sneered. "My husband bought the phone for me. Before you start accusing me of shamelessly referring my boyfriend as my husband and receive an expensive gift from him, let me be frank. I am married, officially married, we have the certificate, and whatnot. If you don't believe me, and if anyone here has the power or authority, you can go to the university's Registrar Office to check on my record file. I'm pretty sure it is stated that I'm married. If you are curious about who my husband is, I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to satisfy your ridiculous curiosity."

The last sentence was a direct mockery to Professor Chen, meaning that she didn't want any more questions from him nor would she answer even if he asked.

"Yes, I can prove that Jiang Yao is in fact married! Her husband had sent her to our dorm on the first day of school!" Wen Xuehui stood forward and said, "Everyone in our dorm can prove that Jiang Yao is married. She has a very good relationship with her husband, they talk on the phone every day!"

Professor Chen's face turned into an ugly shade of gloom. He didn't expect Jiang Yao to be married, and he didn't even expect that she would make the announcement in front of all the students and university leaders.

Zhang Xiqing knew that she had failed miserably today. Jiang Yao would certainly be the freshman representative. She would only embarrass herself even more if she continued to stay here. Hence, she glared at Jiang Yao viciously before turning and leaving.

Professor Chen followed as soon as Zhang Xiqing left, and the few people who were with her dispersed in an instant.

On the other hand, the director of the Academic Affairs Office still stood at the scene, smiling like a beaming sunflower. "Jiang Yao, we've decided on the freshman representative. It's you! Congratulations! Besides, I hope you're not bothered about Zhang Xiqing. She has been spoiled rotten by her family, she has always been the center of attention since young. When she entered university, you came out of nowhere, so she..."

Realizing that he had revealed too much information, the director gaped in surprise and covered his mouth with his hand. He shook his head, smiled at Jiang Yao, asked her to prepare for the freshman representative's speech, and then left.

"Let's go for lunch!" Jiang Yao rubbed her growling belly and urged. She looked at her watch, shocked that they had wasted half an hour in vain. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiqing, she and Wen Xuehui would be having their lunch by now.

The news spread like wildfire. Before Jiang Yao and Wen Xuehui had finished their lunch, everyone in the university knew that Jiang Yao had been slandered for being a kept woman and also that she was a married woman in her freshman year.

The male students were devastated when they heard the news and sighed in regret. They were a minute too late to meet their goddess. Furthermore, they gritted their teeth in frustration, not knowing as to who the man who snatched their goddess so quickly was!

At the same time, there were rumors that the man in Zhang Xiqing's photos was Jiang Yao's husband because she admitted that her husband had given her the phone.

Anyone who had seen the photos of the sports car knew that it was very expensive and luxurious. Therefore, the rumors about Jiang Yao's wealthy in-laws started to circulate around the university.

More and more people were curious about Jiang Yao's husband.

Moe was laying at Jiang Yao's desk when she returned to the dorm. As soon as he saw her, he yelled excitedly, "You were so d*mn cool this morning! But I have to warn you, you'd better be extra careful for the next few days, Zhang Xiqing will not let the dust settle so easily. She has the full support of the Zhang family and they have ordered someone to find out the owner of the car based on its license plate in the photo."
