Chapter 978 You Don’t Have the Right to Choose
She reveled in the honor that deception had brought her, while at the same time, she endured the interrogation and torment of her conscience.
Standing at the crossroads of life, Lei Linxuan hesitated...
Early winter, the first snow had arrived.
A whole week had passed since the publication of the paper; An Hao hadn’t gone to her internship, she had stayed at the school watching how the situation unfolded.
"An Hao! How can you be so patient?" Gu Shuangshuang found her in a corner of the library.
An Hao, with her cheeks in her palms, gazed out the window at the slowly drifting snowflakes in a daze.
"What’s up? Do you have something to say to me?" An Hao turned around to look at Gu Shuangshuang.
"Oh my goodness!" Gu Shuangshuang sat down opposite An Hao, her face flushed with urgency as she spoke, "How magnanimous can you be? Haven’t you seen? Lei Linxuan is flaunting your honor everywhere, and what about you? Your hard-earned results have been plagiarized, and you remain this calm, not doing anything to stand up for yourself?"
"Of course, I won’t stay quiet." An Hao whispered, "I’m waiting for her to come and apologize to me! I’m waiting for her to tell the truth herself."
"Are you dreaming? Do you have a fever?" Gu Shuangshuang reached out to feel her forehead temperature, "You’re waiting for her to apologize to you in person? Do you think that’s possible? How many people do you think can maintain a good conscience in the face of honor? Lei Linxuan’s mind is already muddled, and you still expect her to come forward?"
"But if I speak up, I just fear that I’ll push Lei Linxuan into an abyss from which she can never return."
