Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 3478 Long Jiaojiao Apologizes

"Perhaps not! Even if it's true, I can snatch him away," Long Jiaojiao declared with unwavering confidence. That boldness stemmed not from her personal skills, but from her exalted family status.

The Long family's daughter, Long Jiaojiao, had displayed selfishness and tyranny since childhood. She showed some restraint at home, yet outside, she utterly disregarded any notion of moderation.

All trembled before her due to her birth into the Long family, enduring her bullying without a single word of protest.

"But he seems only at the peak of the Foundation Building Stage. You've already reached the early Golden Core Stage!" remarked the woman beside Long Jiaojiao.

Li Mochen had concealed his true cultivation, displaying merely the peak of the Foundation Building Stage.

"Does it matter? Reaching the peak of Foundation Building means core formation is imminent. Perhaps the moment we become Dao couple, he'll form his core!" Long Jiaojiao dismissed the concern entirely. She wouldn't mind even if he were merely mid-Foundation Building—his striking looks and physique had already captivated her completely!

The companion beside Long Jiaojiao parted her lips to dissuade her, yet ultimately held her tongue.

She sensed they ought not to provoke this man, though Long Jiaojiao's privileged heritage might blind her to that danger!

Long Jiaojiao leaped straight from the second floor, charging at Li Mochen. As she reached to seize him, she exclaimed, "Hey, at last you're here! I've waited ages for you!"

Li Mochen evaded her grasp effortlessly, furrowing his brow with icy eyes as he demanded, "Who are you?"

This woman was a complete stranger to him.

Having overheard Long Jiaojiao's prior words, he realized this encounter was no coincidence—she had targeted him on purpose.

"I am Long Jiaojiao, daughter of the Long family! How could you forget about me?" Long Jiaojiao revealed her lineage outright, aiming to dazzle Li Mochen. In her view, few men resisted feminine charms, but even fewer spurned power and prestige. She had witnessed countless such males succumb.

Marrying into the Long family would grant him not just her, but supreme standing and abundant cultivation resources as well.

Thus, Long Jiaojiao brimmed with arrogance.

"You've mistaken me for someone else," Li Mochen replied coldly.

"Impossible, how could I err like that?" Long Jiaojiao whined pitifully. "Back in the Dragon Bone Forest, you and I shared a bed. You vowed to take responsibility, yet I've waited half a year…"

Shamelessness didn't touch her as she voiced it.

Such a claim would force the man to yield under duress.

Her words landed, and the crowd instantly accepted them as truth, turning their scorn toward Li Mochen.

"Exactly! After bedding Miss Long, you must own up. Otherwise, enraging the Long family spells doom for you."

"Handsome facade hiding a scoundrel's heart—this rogue took his pleasure from the young lady, then cast her aside."

"…"

"Silence!" Li Mochen erupted in fury, barking the order. A crushing aura then bore down on all, draining their faces of color and choking their breaths.

"How dare you defame a lord?" Li Mochen thundered, unveiling his early Yuan Ying Period cultivation, stunning the assembly—Long Jiaojiao most of all.

This man was a genuine Yuan Ying powerhouse, and she had dared to provoke him.

Should her family learn of this, dire consequences awaited her!

She had eyed him only because his apparent cultivation seemed inferior. Yet he proved a Yuan Ying expert…

Having cowed them sufficiently, Li Mochen retracted his pressure. Actual injury would only escalate the mess.

"You claim we shared a bed? Then swear an oath right here. If it's falsehood, may heaven thunder upon you. Dare you?" Li Mochen challenged.

"No…" Long Jiaojiao recoiled instantly. Though cultivators survived lightning strikes, the damage to her prowess was unacceptable.

"I mistook you for someone else…" Long Jiaojiao hastily backpedaled. Now, she refused to confess her initial infatuation with Li Mochen.

"Hilarious!" Leng Xiaoyao scoffed. "Mistaken identity? Think we missed your chat with your friend? She mentioned I might be his Dao partner, yet you brushed it off, boasting you could steal him. And when my Dao partner noted the mix-up, you denied it flat. Now that we prove tough, you feign ignorance? Not so simple! Stick to your tale—dare you swear?"

Leng Xiaoyao wielded the oath to affirm her stance. In Guiyun, such vows held unbreakable power.

Everyone knew Long Jiaojiao well, lending credence to Leng Xiaoyao's recounting of their exchange. They deemed her perfectly capable of such deceit.

Now convinced of her fabrication, they inwardly condemned her, yet her status silenced any open rebuke.

"I refuse to swear…" Long Jiaojiao defied at once, sensing no escape. She resorted to threats: "Born of the Long family, if you bully me, they'll make you pay."

"Does Long family birth entitle you to such brazen slander? Exposed, you deny and dissemble instead of apologizing?" Leng Xiaoyao pressed.

"Absolutely not."

A masculine voice cut in then, as a striking youth strode forward.

Spotting him, Long Jiaojiao paled in terror, murmuring meekly, "Elder Cousin."

This was Long Qi, eldest son of Patriarch Long.

"Long Jiaojiao, your audacity knows no bounds! Defying Long family precepts, you slander openly without remorse, even wielding our name to intimidate." Long Qi fixed her with frigid eyes, his tone like winter's bite.

"I-I apologize, it won't recur. Spare me this once, please!" Long Jiaojiao quailed fully, begging profusely.

"Apologize to him, not me," Long Qi commanded.

Though loath to obey, Long Jiaojiao dared not defy now. Turning to Li Mochen, she pleaded, "Forgive me, senior, just this once! It won't happen again."

Li Mochen saw no need for retribution; he'd suffered no harm. Punishing her risked needless feud with the Long family.
