Xiao Lingye did not take any action for the time being. He was still indifferent to the rumors and slanders on campus. He did what he was supposed to do. He started to get used to people talking behind his back.

“I can’t believe that the talented senior Xiao is such a treacherous person.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“But, I don’t really believe that Xiao Lingye is such a shameless person.” Someone defended, “There must be some misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding could there be?” Someone sneered, “Do you do think his five partners joined hands to frame him? If only one or two of them said this, it might be a frame job, but five of them said the same thing. How can it be false?”

“But… that doesn’t sound right.” Some people still firmly believed that Xiao Lingye was innocent. These students had not yet stepped out of society and had not participated in the workplace, and their evaluations were all based on their own subjective perceptions.

In comparison, Xiao Lingye, Qiao Ruoyang, and Su Yang started their company in their sophomore year. The other students were merely tools to be used. Of course, these naive students naturally did not know.

As Xiao Lingye was rushing out of the cafeteria to eat, Jiang Shuyu suddenly jumped out and blocked his way.

She said to Xiao Lingye with a face full of disappointment, “Mr. Xiao, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. It’s really disappointing. You have such good looks and a righteous appearance, but in the end, you’re a villain! To think that I’ve always admired you!” She used this chance to drive up her popularity too.

When Xiao Lingye saw Jiang Shuyu appear, he frowned. She was there to add insult to injury. Instead of being angry, he laughed, “Miss Jiang, other than being from the same school, we are not related. What kind of person I am has nothing to do with you at all. Therefore, I don’t care if you are disappointed in me.” With that, his expression changed, and he said in an unfriendly tone, “Please move aside. I’m in a hurry to eat.”

Jiang Shuyu was stunned, but her eyes revealed a look of disbelief. She thought that Xiao Lingye would be defeated by the rumors. But that was clearly not the case.

‘It shouldn’t be like this.’

Jiang Shuyu clenched her fists in anger. The sharp nails on her thumb were almost embedded in her flesh.

‘No, it shouldn’t be like this.’

She looked at Xiao Lingye as he left, revealing a resentful gaze.

Who would have thought that Xiao Lingye would suddenly turn around and say indifferently, “Oh, right, Miss Jiang, please tell my partners that if they don’t come out and buy the shares in my hands, then I’m very sorry. I’m going to sell those shares to someone else. I’ll give them at most two hours to consider. After two hours, if I don’t see them, then I’ll directly sell my shares.”

Without waiting for Jiang Shuyu and the surrounding students to react, he left!

Holy shit!

Even now, Xiao Lingye was being so arrogant!

Where did his confidence come from?
