Chapter 1418: Chapter 1445: Accumulated Disappointment 13
Jiang Tian was caught off guard and staggered backward from the push. Fortunately, Lin Dandan reacted quickly and grabbed her. Jiang Tian’s face didn’t look good; Lin Dandan couldn’t help but muster the courage to speak up for her, "Tang Xueli, could you stop bullying Jiang Tian?"
"Two country bumpkins!"
Tang Xueli snorted coldly and strutted into the auditorium triumphantly with her clique.
Jiang Tian slowly stood upright and smiled at Lin Dandan, "Thank you."
"Jiang Tian, are you alright?" Lin Dandan looked at Jiang Tian, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I’m sorry, there were too many of them just now. I didn’t dare to help you."
"It’s okay, what you did was right." Jiang Tian said,
"There were so many of them that even if you helped me, you would have been dragged into it eventually."
"Tang Xueli is really terrible, huh." Lin Dandan complained, then smiled again, "But thankfully, the principal already reprimanded her, and Professor Lu. I feel like Professor Lu is also helping you, Jiang Tian, you’re so lucky."
Jiang Tian tugged at her lips and said nothing. If not for the Shi Yue incident, she might still dream and feel that Lu Xingshen didn’t dislike her as much.
But now, Jiang Tian is already clear about Lu Xingshen’s thoughts and won’t delude herself any longer.

After entering the auditorium for the school celebration, Lu Xingshen was led to the front row of VIP seats by the principal. Later, Lu Xingshen would give a speech as a representative.
"Um, Professor Lu." The principal thought for a moment and said, "I had someone add an extra seat here. You should probably be here to see your wife Jiang Tian, right? How about I have someone call Jiang Tian over?"
Lu Xingshen’s face turned cold, "Stop making assumptions. Which eye of yours saw that I was here for someone?"
The principal was momentarily dumbfounded; he was just trying to curry favor with Lu Xingshen, as he knew Lu Xingshen never attended any invitations and came today not because of his wife? The principal unintentionally stepped on a mine.
He couldn’t help but awkwardly laugh, touching his bald forehead, and left embarrassed.
Shi Yue said with a smile, "Second uncle, thank you for bringing me to see the school celebration."
Lu Xingshen replied indifferently, "Didn’t you say you wanted to investigate the professional situation here? Go find someone to ask; don’t bother me again."
Shi Yue responded with an "Oh," then quietly asked, "Second uncle, Tiantian is here. Shouldn’t I go say hello considering you are husband and wife?"
Lu Xingshen looked at his watch expressionlessly, "Focus on your own matters, don’t linger before those you shouldn’t."
In Shi Yue’s ears, she thought Lu Xingshen meant that Jiang Tian was an outsider to them and didn’t need interaction.
It seems the second uncle didn’t come because of Jiang Tian; Shi Yue was very pleased. As long as the second uncle wasn’t concerned with Jiang Tian, she could relax.
However, to prevent future issues, she still had to do that thing later.
This was her purpose for finally convincing the second uncle to take her here tonight with much effort.

The school celebration had already begun.
Jiang Tian and Lin Dandan entered the auditorium, and it was decorated just like scenes on TV where celebrities attend parties.
After the principal’s speech, the event moved into warm-up performances, and everyone gathered below the stage to watch.
Lin Dandan was eager and excited,
"Jiang Tian, shall we go have a look? Professor Lu is right in the VIP area; maybe we could even chat?"
Jiang Tian had no desire to see Lu Xingshen, shaking her head, "My stomach feels a bit upset. I want to go rest on the side for a while."
