Chapter 834: Public Criticism

Lei Junshan never expected that his younger brother would change so much after only staying in the Taoyuan Village for a few days.
Xiao Lingye put down the things in his hands and said helplessly while being stared at by Lei Junshan, “Master, if you have something to say, just say it. Even if you keep staring at me like this, nothing else will happen.”
“Ahem,” Lei Junshan asked, “Ye ‘Er, when do you think we should go back and visit our parents?”
Xiao Lingye looked at the calendar and said speechlessly, “Master, if I remember correctly, we only went back five days ago.”
“Okay.” Lei Junshan looked at the day and said, “The day after tomorrow is Sunday. Let’s go back then.” He paused and said a little embarrassedly, “I miss mom’s cooking.” Xiao Lingye smiled and said, “Okay, Big Brother, I’ll go with you!”
When they were together, they could learn and exchange skills whenever they wanted.
Lei Junshan said a little embarrassedly, “Ye ‘Er, I want to buy some gifts for the whole family. Can you accompany me to choose some gifts?”
Xiao Lingye nodded and said, “Okay, no problem! I know what they like very well.”
Lei Junshan could have ordered his secretary to buy the gifts, but it wouldn’t be sincere enough.
When Xiao Lingye returned to school, he bumped into Jiang Shuyu on the way back.
When he saw her, Xiao Lingye subconsciously frowned and walked past her directly. Jiang Shuyu was angry, but she endured it and took a deep breath. Then, she called out, “Student Xiao Lingye, can I have a little bit of your time?”
Xiao Lingye ignored her and walked away.
Some classmates who were watching couldn’t help but sneer, “Jiang Shuyu, can you be a little more creative? Every time you see classmate Xiao Lingye, you always say that you need a bit of his time. But can’t you see that he doesn’t want to talk to you at all? Don’t you have any self-awareness?”
“Haha…” A burst of mocking laughter suddenly sounded.
Someone tried to persuade her, “Jiang Shuyu, you’re so outstanding and there are so many boys who like you. Why do you have to focus on this one person?”
“That’s right.”
“Jiang Shuyu, since Xiao Lingye obviously doesn’t like you, why do you have to humiliate yourself? Besides, student Xiao Lingye was only slightly better looking than the other boys. Moreover, he came from the countryside and didn’t have any family background, so he wasn’t worthy of you. Miss Jiang, you should find a boy with a family background that matches you.” The person who said this looked down on Xiao Lingye.
Jiang Shuyu’s face turned green and white as she listened to the discussions of the students around her. However, she took a deep breath and said loudly, “Student Xiao Lingye, if you don’t want to talk to me, you will become the headlines of the school’s media tomorrow. You will even become the headlines of the entire Beijing Media. Do you believe me?” Her words were filled with a strong sense of threat.
The people around them were baffled. They didn’t know what Jiang Shuyu was saying.
However, Xiao Lingye knew what she meant. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he stopped in his tracks.
Jiang Shuyu immediately let out a sigh of relief.
She immediately walked up to Xiao Lingye and said confidently, “Xiao Lingye, will you talk to me now?”
Xiao Lingye frowned and said, “What do you want?”
Jiang Shuyu smiled and said, “It’s very simple. I like you and want you to be my boyfriend!”
“That’s impossible!” Xiao Lingye refused without thinking.
“Then the news will be released.” Jiang Shuyu said confidently. “That is my only condition.”
Xiao Lingye frowned. His sharp gaze landed on her fair and beautiful face as if he was a little angry. Then he said, “Do what you want. It won’t affect me at all!”
“You…” Jiang Shuyu’s pupils constricted. She did not expect Xiao Lingye to give her such an answer.
Xiao Lingye immediately turned around and left.
The classmates who were watching the show were a little puzzled. They did not know what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Xiao Lingye leave without any hesitation. Her hands clenched into fists again, and the tip of her thumb was deeply embedded in the flesh of her palm.
‘Xiao Lingye is such a bastard. He is impervious to all of my tactics. I’ve tried both persuasion and threats. He remains indifferent. Isn’t he afraid that I’ll really expose his identity?’
Of course, Jiang Shuyu wouldn’t be so stupid as to use Xiao Lingye’s background as a real threat.
Once Xiao Lingye’s background was exposed, the one who would be in trouble wouldn’t be Xiao Lingye but her. She would attract more love rivals, and those love rivals wouldn’t be ordinary love rivals. They would be girls from powerful families.
After Xiao Lingye left, someone asked curiously, “Student Jiang, what secret is Xiao Lingye hiding? Why would it go on headlines?”
Someone said excitedly, “Student Jiang, he clearly doesn’t respond to it. Since that’s the case, we should expose him.”
“Hey, what’s the matter with you guys? What has Student Jiang done to you that you are sparing no effort to defame you?” A female student couldn’t stand it and said, “Oh, I know. You guys must be jealous of him. You’re jealous that he’s more handsome than you guys, more capable than you guys, and now he’s richer than you guys, right?”
“That’s right. Just because Xiao Lingye just doesn’t like Jiang Shuyu doesn’t mean that he is despicable. Why would you guys target him like that?”
Soon, someone turned the target on Jiang Shuyu. “Jiang Shuyu, Xiao Lingye doesn’t like you. Because of that, you want to defame him. How heartless can you be?”
“Jiang Shuyu, don’t tell me because you can’t get him, so you’ll have to destroy him?”
“If you really have such thoughts, you need to see a psychiatrist!”
“That’s right. You are bold in expressing your feelings to Xiao Lingye. That is admirable. However, just because you don’t get the response you want, you can’t be so selfish and ruin him, right?”
One by one, the students began to criticize Jiang Shuyu. They even said that her heart was twisted. Jiang Shuyu was so angry that her sharp eyes swept over them one by one. Then, she shouted fiercely, “Shut up! What do you know?”
With that, she left directly.
