Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Scholarship Revoked
Jinghua University.
Entrance gate.
Liang Yin got out of the car, turned around, and Li Junyan also got out.
"Do you want me to walk you to the dormitory entrance?"
He remembered that before six o’clock, visitors could enter the school after registering at Jinghua University.
Liang Yin shook her head. "No need, it’s quite a walk to the dorm from here; I can take my time and walk there myself."
After watching the fireworks, it was already nine at night, and there was still half an hour left until curfew.
Liang Yin thought, that Chen Shanshan blocked her once, she wouldn’t do it a second time.
"Goodbye, Junyan."
She turned and went through the school gates, heading toward the dormitory entrance.
Li Junyan leaned against the car door, not in a hurry to leave but waited for a long time until Liang Yin sent a text: "Junyan, I’m at the dorm! You should be almost home too!"
Li Junyan smiled and replied: "Yes, I’m almost there, sleep early, goodnight."
After replying, he got in the car and started the engine.
...
The next morning.
After the morning self-study, Liang Yin was unexpectedly called to the dean’s office.
She knocked on the door, walked in, and saw the dean sitting at the desk, looking somewhat displeased.
Confused, she walked over and asked, "Dean, did you want to see me?"
The dean raised his head, glanced at her, and suddenly stood up, walking over to her: "Liang Yin, on the night before last, during the dormitory check, you were not in the dorm. Where did you go?"
Liang Yin opened her mouth, about to explain, but the dean interrupted her: "Don’t lie to me. A classmate reported you, saying you were doing things that affected the school’s reputation and discipline outside. Is this true?"
Liang Yin frowned and asked, "Dean, was this ’classmate’ Chen Shanshan?"
Dean: "Don’t worry about who this classmate is for now, answer my question. There are often classmates seeing you being picked up in luxury cars. We are well aware of your family background, what are you really doing outside school?"
Liang Yin’s face flushed in anger: "This is slander! I work as a private tutor outside school."
She didn’t expect that Chen Shanshan would really report this to the dean’s office!
Although she was confident she could prove her innocence, the thought of Chen Shanshan’s malicious actions still made her tremble with anger.
The dean asked, "Is there anyone who can vouch for you?"
Liang Yin said: "Of course! I can provide the phone numbers of my students’ parents, you can call to verify."
The dean’s expression eased a bit after hearing this, "Alright. Give me the number, I’ll check it personally later."
Feeling deeply humiliated, Liang Yin wrote down Li Yufei’s phone number and left the dean’s office.
Two days later.
The matter was left unresolved.
That afternoon, after class, she went to the Rong Family for tutoring. Li Yufei mentioned receiving a call from the dean to verify some issues and asked what happened at school, but Liang Yin said nothing.
This kind of thing was too embarrassing to talk about.
She had done nothing wrong, yet she was being accused like this. She felt very wronged, but all her life, she was used to burying all grievances in her heart, so when Li Yufei asked, she merely replied that the school was investigating students’ part-time work situations outside.
Li Yufei knew the real situation wasn’t so, but seeing Liang Yin in such a difficult position, she merely said: "Yinyin, if you ever feel wronged at school, you can tell me. You don’t have family in Beijing, consider us your family."
Liang Yin felt both moved and saddened.
Apparently, the school had proven her innocence, but still hadn’t revealed which classmate made such a malicious report.
At the same time, her scholarship eligibility was revoked.
That night, she indeed didn’t return to the dorm, according to school regulations, she should have been disciplined, but with the dean’s intervention, she only received a verbal warning, and the matter was left there.
The morning her scholarship eligibility was revoked, she saw Chen Shanshan being called to the dean’s office, reportedly, her mother also came, but she wasn’t sure what exactly happened.
All she knew was that her scholarship was canceled.
Evening.
Dormitory.
After showering, Liang Yin went up to the rooftop, and only after a long while did she muster the courage to make a call.
The phone rang.
A sharp woman’s voice came from the other end: "Hello? You still remember to call? When are you sending the money?"
Liang Yin said: "I’ll get paid for my tutoring hours next month, so when the fee comes in, I’ll transfer it to you!"
She had an agreement with her adoptive parents that as long as she could earn $300,000 during her university years and make up to $1 million before marriage, she could gain her freedom.
Therefore, she scrimped and saved, and sent any surplus she could back home.
All for the sake of breaking free from her adoptive parents’ control.
The adoptive mother coldly asked, "What about your scholarship?"
Liang Yin replied: "The scholarship eligibility... was canceled."
Adoptive mother: "What?! Why!? Didn’t you say you could get the scholarship this time?"
Liang Yin: "I..."
With reddened eyes, holding her phone, standing in the bleak evening wind, she said, "Mom, can’t you be a little more patient? I promised you, and I will fulfill it."
Adoptive mother: "You promised to send me $10,000 every month, last month you only sent $5,000! Did you keep your word?! We raised you, and this is how you repay us! We told you not to attend university, but you insisted. What’s the use of a girl learning so much? Marry early, have children early, that’s your proper path!"
Liang Yin angrily said: "You have no right to dictate my life! I want to go to university to have better opportunities in the future! I have the right to choose my life! That’s that."
After saying this, she hung up the phone.
Liang Yin was trembling with anger, feeling wronged and heartbroken, all rushing to her heart.
She turned around and went back to the dormitory.
Amidst her roommates’ cold stares, she returned to her bunk, lay down, wrapped herself tightly in a blanket, and her tears silently soaked the pillow.
She had thought that this phone call would serve as an explanation to her adoptive mother, as she made repeated promises to send the tutoring fee to her account as soon as it was received the next month.
But who knew, just a week later.
Her adoptive parents’ entire family actually chased after her to Beijing.
That morning, while Liang Yin was self-studying in the library, a female classmate hurriedly ran in and said to Liang Yin: "Liang Yin, your parents are looking for you at school, they’re making a scene outside the classroom, making it hard for everyone to study properly."
Liang Yin raised her head in confusion: "My parents are back home, why would they be in Beijing? Are you sure it’s my parents who came?"
The female classmate nodded: "Yes, they said their daughter is ’Liang Yin’, and they came to Beijing to take you home to get married! They don’t want you to study anymore!"
