Chapter 48: Framing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next morning…
When Jiang Li came to school, she happened to see Jiang Man’s hand wrapped in a long cast.
Jiang man still had a very pitiful expression on her face. A group of people surrounded her, chattering about something.
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly.
She walked past Jiang Man and went to her seat to sit down.
“No, don’t worry, everyone. I really fell down by accident. It has nothing to do with my sister Jiang Li!”
Jiang Man smiled as she spoke.
The hatred in Jiang Man’s eyes deepened when she saw Jiang Li lowering her head as she played with her phone.
Jiang Man gritted her teeth and smiled tenderly at her classmates who were consoling her. It seemed that she even shed a few tears.
“I really fell down on my own! It has nothing to do with my sister! My sister just pushed me by accident. I was the one who lost my balance!”
Jiang Man seemed to be trying to shift the blame off Jiang Li. However, every word she said was blaming Jiang Li in reality.
She drew everyone’s anger onto Jiang Li.
Immediately, one of Jiang Man’s pursuers could not stand it anymore and walked up to Jiang Li.
He slapped Jiang Li’s table and looked at Jiang Li angrily.
“Hurry up and apologize to Manman. Do you know what you did? You pushed her down the stairs. Do you think that no one will know if she doesn’t say anything?!”
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows.
“So you’re saying that you saw it with your own eyes? If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, then you wouldn’t be able to blame me, right?”
The other party gritted his teeth. “What do you mean? Don’t tell me that no one saw what you did wrong? This is simply unreasonable! Only a kind person like Manman would forgive you!”
Jiang Li sneered and ignored him.
However, Su Tongtong, who had been standing by the side, saw it and finally stepped forward to block in front of Jiang Li.
Her tone seemed to contain a hint of cowardice, but when she looked at Jiang Man, she still spoke softly.
“Jiang Man, your identity as Fox has just been exposed, so you have to update it. Could it be that you couldn’t draw a draft and that’s why you pretended to fall?”
Su Tongtong knew that Jiang Li’s personality, so she would not do such a thing. Jiang Li had no reason and disdained to do such a thing.
However, when Su Tongtong finished speaking, she felt a wave of anxiousness in her heart.
‘What was I thinking?’
‘How could I offend such a famous person?!’
However…
Su Tongtong still gritted her teeth and stood on the spot bravely without backing down.
“Hah, what joke are you talking about?! Jiang Man is a famous painter herself. Those paintings she drew earlier were all drawn by herself. How could she not be able to draw them?! Are you doubting her by saying that?”
“That’s right. As long as there’s nothing wrong with one’s brain, one can’t say those words! I’m waiting for her to draw them and make people like you eat your words!”
“How can a trash like you who doesn’t know how to draw suspect Jiang Man?!”
“…”
After a bunch of accusations, Su Tongtong’s expression turned ugly.
Jiang Li initially ignored them, but when he saw them mocking Su Tongtong who stood up for her, her eyes finally darkened.
“Don’t you know how to look at the surveillance cameras?”
Those people looked at each other.
Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Jiang Man heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She looked at Jiang Li with a slightly smug look in her eyes.
Jiang Man thought that Jiang Li had a solution, but she did not expect that it was to look at the surveillance cameras.
This fool still did not know that the surveillance cameras had long been deleted!
Jiang Li seemed to have noticed the other party’s smug look, so she smiled at her. That smile made Jiang Man’s heart turn cold.
“I believe that Manman would not do such a thing! So we can just look at the surveillance footage! Do you even have the surveillance footage?!”
Jiang Li smiled and tidied up her clothes.
Then, she slowly took out her phone and operated it. Very soon, the image of the video clip appeared.
After a while, the video clip gradually returned to normal.
Jiang Man’s eyes widened.
“No…”
How was that possible?!
Jiang Man had clearly asked the technician to delete the surveillance footage, and she had confirmed it herself in the end. How could it be restored?!
When she looked at the video, Jiang Man’s fingertips turned white as she rubbed the corner of her shirt uneasily.
The surveillance footage quickly restored the scene of the stairs.
It included how Jiang Man had chatted with Jiang Li and how she had fallen down the stairs.
“Everyone, are you satisfied?”
Beside Jiang Man’s ears was Jiang Li’s voice as she spoke with a smile.
In front of everyone was Jiang Man’s pale face.
It was over!
It was all over!
