"Qin Jiao, how could you do sothing so disgraceful? If this gets out, how can I continue being a teacher! Do you have any idea what a terrible impact this will have on the school’s reputation! I knew I shouldn’t have brought you to the math competition!"
"And what am I supposed to tell Shen Yi’s parents!"
"A grown girl like you, with no sense of propriety, trying to seduce soone. You’re shaless!"
Li i’s throat was dry from her tirade. She grabbed a nearby mug and chugged so cold water, then glared furiously at the two students standing against the wall.
To be precise, she was glaring only at Qin Jiao.
Shen Yi’s family was wealthy, so Li i didn’t dare glare at him, let alone scold him.
After the incident, she had pushed all the bla onto Qin Jiao.
The lightbulb in the guesthouse room cast a dim glow. It swayed when the wind blew, casting mottled shadows on everyone’s faces, like sothing out of an old film.
Watching Li i’s impassioned speech, her mouth opening and closing as she recited the exact sa lines from her previous life, Qin Jiao felt as if her past life had been nothing but a dream.
She had been on her way to divorce Shen Yi when she got into a sudden car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the age of eighteen.
’The turning point of my life!’
Qin Jiao had co to the provincial capital with her teacher and classmates for a math competition. After the exam, she had inexplicably fallen asleep. When she woke up, Shen Yi was lying beside her, and then her teacher, Li i, burst in with a group of students.
Because of this incident, Qin Jiao was forced to drop out of school and beca the laughingstock of her entire village. Her parents, so ashad they couldn’t hold their heads high, left to find work in other cities. They were deeply depressed, and it wasn’t long before they both fell ill.
Her younger sister, Qin Shi, was too afraid to go to school because of the scandal and stayed ho. Later, she went to work in another city with so others from their village and was trafficked.
But that wasn’t all. Shen Yi had a violent temper and was paranoid, and this whole fiasco only worsened his condition. Later, the Shen Family ca and forced Qin Jiao to marry Shen Yi.
At the ti, Qin Jiao had no choice. With her back against the wall, she had to marry him.
But she never expected that it would be the beginning of another miserable Chapter of her life.
Shen Yi already had a bad temper, and he believed Qin Jiao had plotted against him back then. So, the two of them began to torture each other...
Only after dying once did Qin Jiao realize the truth: all her misfortunes had happened because she was rely a character in a period novel, her life ruined by the sches of a transmigrator nad Lin Nian.
Pulling herself back from her thoughts, Qin Jiao glanced at the tall, silent young man beside her. This was the eighteen-year-old Shen Yi.
The young man was already almost six feet tall, but rail-thin, with an almost sickly pale complexion. His bangs were a little long, obscuring eyes as deep as dark pools and making him appear all the more sullen.
As a teenager, Shen Yi’s temper was even worse, his personality erratic. If anything didn’t go his way, he’d want to destroy everything.
Qin Jiao was puzzled. ’Li i has been yelling for ages, so why hasn’t Shen Yi said a word?’
’This is so unlike his explosive personality.’
’Thinking back on the dozen-plus bleak years of my marriage in my last life,’ Qin Jiao sighed internally. ’If only I’d been reborn one day sooner. Then I wouldn’t have been caught up in this massive scandal with Shen Yi! But still... that doesn’t give Li i the right to humiliate like she did last ti!’
"Qin Jiao! Are you even listening to ?! How dare you zone out at a ti like this?!" Li i was furious. The more she looked at Qin Jiao, the more she disliked her.
Qin Jiao lifted her dark eyes and said calmly, "Do you have any proof that I did this? And you call yourself a teacher, throwing around words like ’seduce’ and ’shaless.’ For that alone, I could report you to the Public Security Bureau for slander!"
Li i was stunned.
Then she rembered she was the teacher. ’Why should I be afraid of a student?’
Li i sneered, "Report for what? You did sothing disgraceful, and now you won’t let people talk about it? I know your type. You saw that Shen Yi’s family is rich and thought if you slept with him, you wouldn’t have to take the college entrance exams or find a job. I’ve seen plenty of shaless little girls like you!"
"Nothing happened between Shen Yi and . Soone frad us. When you all ca in, our clothes were still on."
"More like you didn’t have ti to take them off yet."
Qin Jiao’s eyes darkened.
’Is that sothing a teacher should say?!’
Just then, Shen Yi, who had been silent the entire ti, suddenly spoke, his voice cold.
"Done talking? Then get out."
Li i, who had just taken a sip of water, nearly choked.
