Upon hearing An Mingzhu's words, Xie Jinya snapped back to reality, muttering to herself, "Right, right, I didn't do anything wrong... I haven't done anything wrong..."
The people below didn't know anything, yet they judged her, ridiculing her openly and sneering at her in secret, belittling her in every way.
What did they know? They knew absolutely nothing!
Xie Jinya turned to the crowd, frantically defending herself, "You have no idea why we had to abandon that girl. What use is her good academic performance? Do you know who she has offended? She has offended Gu Third Master!"
After Xie Jinya finished speaking, the people below fell silent.
The entire venue was deathly quiet, almost everyone was staring in the direction of Xie Jinya, reflexively holding their breaths so much so that they didn't dare breathe too loudly.
Xie Jinya thought that her words had made an impact, and she felt slightly more at ease.
However, it wasn't enough.
Just that point alone was not enough.
