Chapter 751: Apologize and Ask for Forgiveness (1)
And thus, students on the university forums requested the female students who blocked Jian Yiling’s path to apologize to her.
At first, the female students did not want to apologize to her.
[We were also blinded by the news and comments on the Internet.]
[Yeah, so technically, we’re also victims. We just wanted to maintain the reputation of our university.]
[That’s right! Furthermore, Jian Yiling has caused so much trouble for our university ever since she arrived in Beijing.]
The female students insisted that they were also victims.
However, the other students on the university forum refused to accept this as a valid reason:
[Who do you think you are? You’re not justice. Do you think you’re the judge or the police or something?]
[I guess you guys had fun when you were wrongly accusing Jian Yiling. However, when it’s your turn to get criticized, you’re just acting as the victim.]
[Before you say that someone else is not worthy of being a student at our university, please take a good look at yourselves. Are you even worthy to be a student at this university?]
[Are you guys not going to take responsibility for your actions and words? If you’re not, then why speak of justice in the first place?]
As the female students kept getting told off, they had no option but to collectively go and apologize to Jian Yiling.
And thus, they went to Jian Yiling’s lab.
As a bunch of them entered the lab, the laboratory began to become crowded.
When Jian Yiling saw the female students standing in front of her, she merely looked up for a moment before she looked down at the experimental data in her hands.
It was as though she did not care about these people’s intentions.
When the female students saw Jian Yiling’s att.i.tude towards them, embarra.s.sed expressions appeared on their faces.
“Jian Yiling, we are here to apologize to you.”
There was reluctance in the female student’s voice.
“Don’t disturb me,” Jian Yiling replied. She wanted them to leave her laboratory.
Although they understood Jian Yiling’s words, the female students did not leave.
After all, they were already here. They couldn’t just turn around and leave again.
“Forget about her, let’s start recording,” one of the female students said.
Then, they took out their phones to record a video. The female students stood together in a neat row. Then, they faced Jian Yiling. All of a sudden, their faces appeared incredibly sincere.
“Jian Yiling, what happened before was completely our fault. We didn’t know the truth. Furthermore, we said unkind things to you. I hope you can forgive us.”
Together, they expressed their apologies. Their words were filled with emotion.
However, Jian Yiling did not even look at them.
“Jian Yiling, I hope we can do something to make up for the harm that we have caused you. Please tell us if there’s anything we can do for you.”
Then, the female students waited for Jian Yiling to reply.
However, Jian Yiling’s attention was elsewhere.
And thus, they were left hanging for a long time.
Instead of leaving, the female students said more words of apology.
After five more minutes, the video was already long enough.
The female students did not have much more patience.
“All right, all right. We have a long enough video.”
After that, the expressions on their faces completely changed.
The female students gathered around to watch the video that was just recorded.
Then, they began to happily edit the video.
They planned to remove the start and end of the video. Then, they would upload it onto the university forum for the other students to see. Once they did this, the other students would stop asking them to apologize.
Furthermore, Jian Yiling’s reaction to them was very indifferent and cold. Therefore, it was possible for people to view Jian Yiling’s att.i.tude as arrogant and rude.
However, at this moment, Jian Yiling finally spoke up: “In order to prevent theft, twenty-four-hour cameras are installed in my laboratory.”
After the previous incident where Jian Yiling’s research data had been stolen, Jian Yiling’s mentor had been switched.
In addition to this, many cameras had been installed in her new laboratory.
These cameras were installed by Zhai Yunsheng.
All the footage would be transferred to cloud storage.
All of a sudden, the smiles on the female student’s faces instantly disappeared.
Then, they began to look around the laboratory.
