Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Leave No Evidence
In the phone call, Gao Shengyan brought up Jiang Yiniing riding on the coattails of popularity: “Yiniing called me, she said that she had some misunderstandings with you before, and now that both of you have entered the entertainment industry, she wants to mend the relationship with you, which is why she forwarded and commented on your Weibo content.”
Tang Li had just finished filming and returned to the hotel when Gao Shengyan’s voice came through the receiver: “Even though you both have become famous, you are still students from our Art College. It’s not easy for our school to have renowned artists, and as a teacher and your counselor, I hope you can support each other in the entertainment industry.”
Tang Li responded: “It seems like you have some misunderstandings about me.”
Before Gao Shengyan could speak again, Tang Li added: “I don’t know what Jiang Yiniing has told you, or how she put it, but today at noon, I only posted two photos of Wu Xuehan on Weibo, and I haven’t said a single bad word about Jiang Yiniing from beginning to end.”
Before making the call, Gao Shengyan had looked at the news on Weibo.
At this moment, netizens are all ridiculing Jiang Yiniing, and if this continues, Jiang Yiniing’s image will inevitably be affected.
“I haven’t forgotten, ever since I started college, you have always been there to help me.” Tang Li felt a sense of gratitude towards her counselor Gao Shengyan; in her first year, Gao Shengyan had helped her apply for a special assistance scholarship, and previously when the Lai Family caused a scene at the school, it was Gao Shengyan who stood up to protect her.
So now, Tang Li did not continue to be evasive with Gao Shengyan: “My relationship with Jiang Yiniing as classmates is just average, you are experienced, and if you check what Jiang Yiniing has recently been doing on Weibo, you should guess what she’s up to.”
She’s just trying to take advantage when she sees Tang Li becoming popular.
Those little schemes of Jiang Yiniing, Gao Shengyan, having lived for over forty years, how could she not see through them?
If it wasn’t for Jiang Yiniing going to the school crying and making a scene, saying that if this matter wasn’t handled well, it would stain her acting career, and hoping for the teacher to help mediate as she taught both contemporaneous students, Gao Shengyan couldn’t just stand by and watch them fall out, thus this call was made.
“If Jiang Yiniing wants to explain, she can call me, not go through a teacher.” Tang Li’s words straightforwardly pierced through the pretense: “She’s letting the teacher intervene, afraid that if she approaches me directly, her words might be recorded by me. If the teacher speaks, no matter what you tell me, she can always deny it later and just blame it on the teacher, distancing herself.”
Jiang Yiniing understands the principle of not leaving any loopholes in her actions.
Jiang Yiniing had Gao Shengyan come as the mediator also because she knew, as a student, Tang Li wouldn’t disrespect a counselor.
“If I’m not wrong, Jiang Yiniing wants me to help dispel the rumors of our discord.”
“Pretty much.” From the other end of the phone, Gao Shengyan honestly said: “Now netizens all say she is clout-chasing using you, and from what she meant, she hopes you would forward a Weibo post she plans to publish later.”
Tang Li didn’t agree to this request, only saying: “Since you have called, I will issue a statement later, I won’t trample on her, I’ll just tell the truth.”
Compared to Jiang Yiniing, Gao Shengyan has always favored Tang Li.
Both were excellent students during their time in school, but unlike Tang Li’s forthrightness, Jiang Yiniing recently kicked Tang Li when she was down. After the schoolteachers learned about it, they all shook their heads, although not verbally, they all believed Jiang Yiniing had character issues.
With today’s events, Gao Shengyan no longer holds any hope for her student Jiang Yiniing.
