Song Jiaren stared at the black cloth on the ceiling and suddenly laughed. She looked at Song Yoyo’s obviously evasive gaze and didn’t expose her. Instead, she said, “President Cao, you don’t have proof that I broke the jade tablet, so I have the right to sue you for defamation.”
Cao Jin’s expression darkened as he said, “Then what evidence do you have to prove that you didn’t do it? Out of so many people, only you are standing beside the jade tablet. Who else could it be but you?”
Song Jiaren suddenly asked, “Who borrowed this jade token?”
Cao Jin didn’t know what was going on, but he still replied, “It’s me. What’s wrong?”
Song Jiaren spread her hands and smiled sinisterly. “If that’s the case, why should I prove that I didn’t do it? This should be your responsibility.”
Even though these words sounded a little shameless, when he thought about it carefully, they were very reasonable. There was no proof. She was innocent until proven guilty.
Cao Jin panicked. How could he have evidence? The truth wasn’t important. What he needed was a scapegoat.
Song Jiaren kindly reminded him, “Actually, there’s another way. You can call the police.”
Cao Jin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.
Everyone present thought that this was a good idea. Only Song Yoyo was a little nervous. She looked at the black cloth on the ceiling and calmed down a little. The police might not be able to find any evidence.
Song Jiaren had been observing her expression. Now that she had more or less guessed the truth, she said, “After all, I found some evidence. When the police arrive, I can help solve the case.”
“If the police come, it will no longer be an internal matter of the school. By then, many reporters will probably want to interview us. After all, this is the biggest accident that has happened since the establishment of the university. This jade card is the school’s identity symbol. You might become a celebrity,” she said meaningfully.
Song Yoyo froze. She looked up and happened to see her looking at the black cloth on the ceiling. She broke out in cold sweat.
When she saw that Cao Jin was about to call the police, she rushed out. “You can’t call the police.”
Her scream made everyone look at her strangely. Realizing that she had lost her composure, Song Yoyo’s face stiffened. She forced a smile and said, “It’s the school’s internal matter. Calling the police is too big of a deal. It’s bad for the school’s reputation.”
Cao Jin only wanted to get rid of the responsibility as soon as possible. He couldn’t care less anymore. “It’s better to leave it to the police. The most important thing is to find the truth. The principal will agree.”
Song Yoyo was anxious. Seeing that he was about to call the cops, her palms were covered in sweat. In her panic, she closed her eyes and said, “I broke this jade pendant.”
They couldn’t call the police. Once the police arrived, this matter would blow up. Song Jiaren must have found out something, so her reputation would be ruined. She was going to marry into a rich family, so she definitely couldn’t let this happen. However, this humiliation still made her hate Song Jiaren.
Feeling the eyes of the people around her, she covered her face and cried. She wanted to use her tears to make them sympathize with her.
However, with what she had just said to Song Jiaren, they really couldn’t sympathize with her. Her first reaction after committing a mistake wasn’t to apologize but to frame someone else. Such actions made them feel disdainful.
Now that they thought about what she had just said, it seemed like she was doing it for Song Jiaren’s good, but in reality, she was pushing her towards a dead end. If Song Jiaren hadn’t thought of calling the police, she might really have been wronged.
They subconsciously moved away from Song Yoyo. Such a person was too terrifying. They, for fear of suffering Song Jiaren’s fate, didn’t dare to get close.
The girls next to Song Yoyo were a little embarrassed. One of the girls with short hair stood up and tried to defend her. “Yoyo is the eldest daughter of the Song family. It’s just a jade tablet. It’s not like she can’t afford it.”
She sounded ignorant and foolish. Everyone present looked at her as if she was a fool. Was the symbol of Imperial Capital University something that could only be measured with money? Yet, she felt proud that she was the center of attention.
Song Yoyo’s body froze when she spoke. She had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the next second, she heard Song Jiaren’s voice. “Eldest daughter of the Song family? Why do I remember that my mother only gave birth to one daughter?!”
