"That's right. What does Master Zhao have to threaten you? You should be happy that he likes you. Why are you still pretending to be a chaste woman? You are really disgusting.

Zhao Yang's lackey immediately interrupted.

“That’s not my notebook. I found it. Give it to me.” Pan Lingling knew they were a pair of rookies, so she didn’t want to say too much, but she still had to explain.

The woman with pigtails obviously didn't believe her. She smiled coldly and rolled her eyes. "This is not yours? Pan Lingling, do you think we are stupid? How could the things in your drawer belong to someone else? Don't tell me you are lying because we exposed your ugly side!"

The short fat woman agreed: “Even if you didn’t write it, what do you mean by putting it in the drawer?

"Did you see it? This is reality. Whether it's yours or not, these people will still think it's yours. Zhao Yang smiled complacently, and said in a firm tone: "As long as you are with me, I promise they won't say a word. How about it? Be my woman."

"In your dream." Pan Lingling turned pale with anger. She took a deep breath and said, "No matter what you say, it's not mine. Do whatever you want!"

In fact, she also knew that once these poems came out, her reputation would definitely be damaged. However, if she chose to be with Zhao Yang, the consequences would definitely be something she could not bear.

What kind of person is Zhao Yang? Previously, there were rumors that he knocked down a girl and forced her to have an abortion. Because of this, the woman would never be able to become a mother in her life.

Therefore, Pan Lingling always reminded herself not to get involved with Zhao Yang.

Seeing Pan Lingling was so stubborn, Zhao Yang was furious. In an instant, he lost all his patience. He sneered and said without thinking: "Pan Lingling, I'm giving you face, you don't. Be careful. Don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will kill you!

Everyone looked at Pan Lingling with sympathy. Pan Lingling's face turned pale and her eyes were instantly filled with tears. She bit her lower lip and shouted angrily: "Zhao Yang, what do you want to do? I told you I don't like you. Can you stop pestering me? Do you know how annoying you are?

Zhao Yang’s face darkened. He was a man who cared about his face. Pan Lingling not only rejected him in front of everyone, but also made him sound like a fool.

Without even thinking, he raised his hand and slapped Pan Lingling to the ground. Her fair face quickly swelled up, and Bai Meili happened to see this scene.

Pan Lingling and Bai Meili not only come from the same place, but have also been neighbors for more than ten years. They have been best friends since childhood. Pan Lingling takes good care of Bai Meili. It is basically thanks to Pan Lingling that Bai Meili was able to find a job here. Therefore, in Bai Meili's eyes, Pan Lingling is equivalent to her own biological sister.

However, when she saw Zhao Yang angrily slap Pan Lingling, the first thing she thought of was not her good friend who had come to help her in the past, but to avoid Zhao Yang.

She knew it was cowardly and disappointing to do so, but she had no choice. She was afraid, afraid of being isolated by her colleagues, and even more afraid of losing her job.

So, she turned around and prepared to leave, when Qin Xi and the dean arrived.

The dean did not see Zhao Yang hit Pan Lingling, but the fact that Pan Lingling fell to the ground with half of her face red and swollen said it all.

His face darkened and his voice deepened. "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

"Nothing. Dean, why are you here? We..."

Zhao Yang didn't expect the dean to come to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in person. His heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the dean with a flattering smile, trying to calm things down.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you need me to repeat it? The dean narrowed his eyes and looked at him sharply.

Zhao Yang saw that he could no longer hide, so he stood up and pointed at Pan Lingling on the ground. "It was Pan Lingling. She, she always harassed me and wanted to date me. I didn't agree, so she pestered me and wrote me love poems. I really had no choice but to beat her..."

Dean Ma was a reasonable man and didn't believe his one-sided story. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "Is that so?

“Yes, yes, Dean. Pan Lingling is always harassing Dr. Zhao. We can’t stand it anymore. We tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail.

The first person to speak was the woman with braids. When she received Zhao Yang's gaze, she immediately knew that this was her chance to perform.

"That's right. Pan Lingling is good. She pestered Dr. Zhao all day long and even wrote many love poems to express her feelings. Dr. Zhao was very annoyed.

"No, I didn't. They slandered me. I don't like him at all. Pan Lingling's heart sank, she held back her tears and said stubbornly.

Her tone was full of disgust towards Zhao Yang.

The dean did not speak, but his expression remained gloomy. He glanced at everyone present, and when those who met his eyes looked away, he immediately understood what had happened.

Just as the dean was about to speak, Qin Xi, who had seen everything clearly, suddenly looked at Bai Meili who was timid at the door and asked with a smile: "Miss, is what they said true?

The dean and others didn't understand why Qin Xi suddenly asked Bai Meili. They were stunned and turned to look at Bai Meili.

Bai Meili was stunned. She hid in the corner to reduce her presence, but was pushed into the spotlight by Qin Xi. She nervously glanced at Pan Lingling, who was looking at her expectantly. She bit her lower lip and was about to muster up the courage to tell the truth when she saw Zhao Yang looking at her nervously and fiercely. Her throat was tight, as if she was strangled.

“Yeah…I think so!

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head and rubbed her clothes with her fingers, feeling very nervous.

Bai Meili knew that her friendship with Pan Lingling had come to an end.

Pan Lingling looked at Bai Meili in disbelief. She felt a chill running down her spine, and a heart-wrenching pain came from deep in her heart.

Zhao Yang was completely relieved. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked coldly at the desperate Pan Lingling.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Qin Xi asked Pan Lingling with interest.

With her insight, Qin Xi could naturally see that Pan Lingling was wronged. Not only was she wronged, but the moment she met Qin Xi, her fate unexpectedly changed dramatically. On the other hand, Bai Meili, who had a close relationship with Pan Lingling, went from having a bright future to going downhill, and she has lived a miserable life ever since.

"I'm not. I'm not pestering Zhao Yang. He's the one pestering me. I have a fiancé. I will only marry him in this life. I won't change my mind.

Pan Lingling didn't say much, just stated the facts. However, the tears she had been holding back just now fell uncontrollably like a stream.

"She's lying. She obviously wrote me a love poem. She must have made it up. Zhao Yang was a little anxious. He pointed at Bai Meili and said, "She doesn't have a fiancé. If you don't believe it, go ask Bai Meili. She and Pan Lingling are from the same hometown. She knows."

"Lingling does not have a fiancé. She also likes Dr. Zhao..."

Bai Meili took a deep breath, raised her head, and ignored Pan Lingling's sharp eyes. Instead, she pursed her lips tightly and said to the dean: "Dean, Lingling is innocent and has no ill intentions. She just wants to pursue the person she likes. Although her actions are extreme, can you forgive her and give her a chance?

Her hands were shaking and her heart was beating fast. She tried not to look at Pan Lingling.

Qin Xi raised her eyebrows. She looked at Bai Meili with amusement and asked.

"Give her a chance? What chance?

Although Bai Meili didn't know Qin Xi's identity, the fact that the dean didn't stop her from talking meant that she was a person of status. Bai Meili said, "Don't make fun of Lingling. She is a very hardworking and motivated girl. Although this incident has caused a lot of trouble for Dr. Zhao, she has never hurt anyone. I believe that I will persuade her not to bother Dr. Zhao in the future. Please believe me.

No one expected Bai Meili to be so scheming. She even betrayed her best friend.

The most devastating blow is to the person one trusts most.

"No, it's not like that..."

Just then, a timid voice came from the corner, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.

"They are lying. Pan Lingling is a good girl. She did not pester Dr. Zhao. On the contrary, Dr. Zhao was the one who pestered her. Also... they stole Lingling's love poem!

The person who spoke was a thin and petite girl. She lowered her head as she spoke. Her voice was not loud and was trembling. Obviously, she had used up all her courage to say these words.

No one expected that the girl who was usually invisible would actually speak up for Pan Lingling. They all looked at her with complicated eyes. At this moment, those who had been watching coldly felt ashamed.

“I can testify that what she said was true.

"I can also testify that Dr. Zhao pushed Pan Lingling into a corner. Pan Lingling was afraid of him.

"I want to testify too!"

"And I......"

This time, everyone around jumped out to stand up for Pan Lingling, making Zhao Yang, Bai Meili and the other two women look like clowns.

"You, are you seeking death? How dare you offend me? Do you believe that I will make you lose everything?

Hearing the accusations from everyone, Zhao Yang collapsed instantly. He glanced at everyone present with hatred, pointing at them while roaring.

“How dare you! This is not the place for you to threaten anyone you like.

The dean turned pale and shouted, frightening Zhao Yang so much that his body trembled. When he suddenly reacted, his expression immediately became extremely flustered. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he forced a zombie-like smile. "Dean, don't listen to their nonsense. How, how can I like Pan Lingling? I..."

"Okay, that's enough. You, you, you, you are fired. Get out now.

The dean didn't want to hear his explanation. He pointed at him, the woman with braids, the short and fat woman, and Bai Meili.
