Chapter 1070: Subduing Li Bingman

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling was a little surprised that Li Bingman was not as arrogant as she had imagined.

She couldn’t help but say, “You still want to fight with me at this point?”

Li Bingman lowered her head slightly and endured the humiliation. “I’m sorry.”

Xia Ling frowned. If she had only hated Li Bingman previously, now she looked down slightly on her. When she had been trampled under the feet of her group, she could still hold her head high and walk off, but what about Li Bingman? She was completely terrified at the taste of defeat. “Is it really that important to be able to attend the Training Camp?” She couldn’t understand. “Is it more important than your pride and self-esteem?”

Li Bingman felt terrible as if a needle had pierced her heart. If she could, why would she be willing to bow down?

However, being able to attend the Training Camp was indeed more important than her pride and self-respect. This concerned her fame and wealth in the future, so how could she destroy it over just her pride? In the face of absolute strength, pride was something ridiculous and extravagant. Li Bingman gritted her teeth and said in a more respectful voice, “Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp is my dream, Miss Xia Ling. I’m willing to put down my pride in the face of my dreams.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Xia Ling was impatient again. This Li Bingman was really hateful. What did she mean by putting down her pride in the face of her dream? She was saying it as if she was obstructing her dream!

Li Bingman heard the dissatisfaction in her voice and quivered softly.

“Miss Xia Ling, please be generous to me. I’m really willing to work like an ox and a horse for you.”

“I don’t need that.” Xia Ling was still very unhappy. She did not lack an effective person who would be there at her beck and call, so why should she endure this hateful Li Bingman hovering in front of her? Furthermore… “How do you know I’m able to let you return to school? The decision to expel you is what the school has decided, not me.”

“Yes, yes, it was decided by the school.” Li Bingman thought she wanted to shed responsibility and nodded like a woodpecker. “I know you’re kindhearted and generous. You can’t possibly be the one who made such a cruel decision.”

On the side, onlookers were questioning each other softly. “What did that Li Bingman say? She said it as if it is Xia Ling who can decide whether or not to expel her. Is Xia Ling’s background really that powerful?”

Xia Ling heard it and was even more unhappy. She had been carefully hiding her secret identity, it couldn’t be exposed by Li Bingman’s business! “I’m just an ordinary trainee, I can’t interfere with the school’s decision,” she said unhappily. “If you want to plead, go plead with the school!”

She emphasized the words “can’t interfere” and made Li Bingman quiver in fear again.

How had she forgotten that Chu Chen had instructed her yesterday—Miss Xia Ling doesn’t like other people knowing her identity. If she were to leak her identity…

The menace that was to come would go without saying.

Li Bingman quickly changed her wording. “Okay, Miss Xia, then I’ll go plead to the school. You’re so kind, can I tell the school that you’ve forgiven me already? If I can’t get your forgiveness, based on the principle of harmony and unity between the students, the school will not restore my student status.”

Xia Ling was impatient and waved her hand. “Do as you wish.”

She turned and walked away.

She really didn’t want to see Li Bingman so dejected and depressed, as if her two feet were tied with bloody slags. Since she had already submitted to the humiliation and had come to plead with her, and had even injured her two feet to apologize to her, half of the anger in her heart had disappeared already. To be honest, she didn’t care whether Li Bingman was expelled from school. What she cared more about was not continuing to be in a tangle with Li Bingman so that her identity wouldn’t be exposed.

Yet…

She suddenly stopped in her tracks. How did Li Bingman know it was useful to plead with her?

“Hey!” she called Li Bingman.

They were distanced by a few meters and Li Bingman was walking in the direction of the principal’s room. She heard her cry and immediately ran over with a charming smile on her face. “Miss Xia, you called me?”

“You…” Xia Ling frowned and looked at her. “Do you know who I am?”

Li Bingman was smart and guessed her meaning. She said carefully, “My sister once saw you at Imperial Entertainment’s headquarters. She heard that I’d offended you and scolded me fiercely. She told me who you are.” She only dared to tell Xia Ling this much as she dared not expose Chu Chen. Chu Chen had said that Xia Ling must not know about him coming to find her.

“Li Bingyu.” Xia Ling snorted. “You sisters have the same conduct.”

“Yes, yes, we won’t dare any more in the future.”

Xia Ling waved her hand in boredom. “Go.”

Li Bingman left as if she was given a pardon.

With Xia Ling’s “understanding”, the school no longer had reason to continue making things difficult for Li Bingman. Soon, they completed the procedures to allow her to return to school. And if Li Bingman kept to her promises, she would have to follow behind Xia Ling in the future and become her lackey. Many people secretly laughed at Li Bingman and pointed at her. The once grandiose and high-class student, the Diva’s sister, had turned into such a state, and many people were rejoicing in her misfortune.

Li Bingman was ashamed and sorrowful. But for the sake of her future prospects, she could only lower her head. In her heart, she hated Xia Ling to the core.

Xia Ling did not like her. The only ones who could be close to Xia Ling were Xiao Hua and those trusted aides who had not been malicious to her from the beginning. They were the ones who fetched her bag, entertained her and helped her get her coat. And what did Li Bingman do? She could only do some odd jobs on the side—ladle rice at the dining hall, save seats in class and stop cars outside.

All these things were very hard on a delicate girl like her.

Not all of the people in the Training Camp appreciated Xia Ling. Many seniors thought she was overly arrogant and was even more insolent than all the other Chiefs added together. Amongst them, a few guys approached Li Bingman intentionally based on her family background and beauty and helped her ladle rice and saved seats for her. Li Bingman enjoyed this kind of approach. To her, this was the only bright light in her humiliating and dull Training Camp life.

On this day, she was lining up with Xia Ling’s lunchbox.

Next to her, a senior boy wearing a white shirt with a slender figure looked at her with a polite smile. “You’re a first-year student, right? I saw you when I reported to school. Why are you getting food here alone? The queue is so long, you’ll have to queue for a long time.”

Li Bingman lowered her head slightly and revealed a small section of her beautiful neck. In a flash, she looked up and smiled bitterly. “Yes, I’m alone. I’m helping my year’s Chief get food. I hope the queue will hurry up, or I’ll be back late and she’ll be angry.” Her voice was soft, like a mistress who had resigned herself to adversity.

The boy’s sense of justice came out instantly. “The queue has turned two corners already, how could it hurry up? Your school year’s Chief is Xiao Ling, right? How could she be so unreasonable?”

Li Bingman continued to smile bitterly. “Well, she’s the Chief.”
