Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 696 The video spread to every corner of the school
So, tell her how to not have regrets? How to stop hating Lu Tingchuan? How to accept her grief?
The process of life, the elegance of spring, the beauty of summer, the fruits of autumn, the hustle and bustle of the city, the green years, the gray hair, the daily necessities of life, these most ordinary things, Jiang Yiming could not feel them.
He died in the prime of his life, as brilliant and short-lived as a shooting star.
On the day Shen Qing was completing the procedures for leaving school, Lu Tingchuan rushed back and wanted to accompany her.
Shen Qing directly refused and got into the driver's car to go to the school to handle the formalities. As soon as she got out of the car, many people stared at her.
At first, Shen Qing thought they were looking at cars. After all, the cars driven by Lu Tingchuan's driver were all luxury cars, with 30 to 50 million being the minimum. Parking them in front of the school would definitely attract attention.
But gradually, Shen Qing discovered that those people were not looking at the car but at her, and their eyes were full of irony and disdain. It was as if they were not looking at people but at the garbage in the trash can, the rats crossing the street, the stinking leftovers, the disgusting flies...
Wherever she went, those eyes were fixed on her, looking at her nakedly. Shen Qing even felt several obscene gazes, as if they were stripping her clothes off.
Shen Qing paused and looked towards the group of people at the school gate.
Those people lowered their heads and whispered with their backs to her.
During the ten days that she was away from school, something must have happened that she didn't know about. Shen Qing didn't want to ask or think about it. Enough things had happened to her. For her who was half dead now, one more thing would not be too much or too little. She would die sooner or later anyway, but she would just suffer a little more in her life.
These people all knew that Shen Qing had someone backing her up, so they didn't dare to do anything to her face. At most, they would gossip about her behind her back and say a few unpleasant words.
Shen Qing went to the principal's office, and the principal's face turned ugly for a moment when he saw her.
Lu Tingchuan also greeted the principal and handed the prepared documents to Shen Qing for her signature. His attitude was neither good nor bad, and he was unfamiliar with the official business.
After Shen Qing signed the formalities and watched the principal stamp it, she took it and bowed to the principal, bending her waist to 90 degrees.
"Thank you, Principal. Thank you for your care for so long."
"You..." The principal stood up and subconsciously reached out to help Shen Qing up, but when he was about to touch him, he froze again. The principal retracted his hand and sighed as he looked at Shen Qing who was bent over and unable to get up.
"Go back and have a good rest. You still have a long way to go. Don't take things online too seriously. Don't listen too much to what others say or pay attention to their opinions."
Shen Qing stood up, frowning slightly, not understanding what the principal meant, but it was not difficult to hear the concern in his words.
Shen Qing said "thank you" again and left with the departure documents. Once he left, he would never come back.
In this school, Shen Qing did not make any friends, nor did he feel even ordinary friendship among classmates. The only thing he felt was the care and concern of the teachers.
Shen Qing originally wanted to go see the teachers who had taught her, but then she thought there was no need to. She was going to "leave" anyway, so she might as well go quietly. Leaving too many impressions would be bad...
After leaving the office, Shen Qing let out a long sigh and walked in the corridor. He saw a few students again. This time, he was close to them and could hear what they said.
"Is this the person in the video? Her name is Shen Qing, right? I heard she worked as an actress for a few days and signed with an agency."
"You used to be pretty, but now that scar on your face is scary."
"What's the point of looking good? She's just selling her body to get ahead. I think the scars on her face must have been caused by her sponsor because she was not worthy of her appearance."
"There have been rumors for a long time that she was being kept by someone and selling her body in various ways. I didn't expect that she even filmed that kind of video. She must have relied on unspoken rules to get to the top of the TV series. What disgusts me most is that actors nowadays have nothing to lose and rely on unspoken rules to get to the top. Now that it's been exposed, Shen Qing has become a nobody."
"Don't mention it, Shen Qing has a good figure."
"Why, you want to go play too?"
"Me? I'm afraid of getting sick."
These words reached Shen Qing's ears bit by bit. She had no expression on her face, but her head, which was already lowered, lowered even lower. She looked at her toes and quickened her pace as she walked out of the school.
Every time I took a step, my feet ached violently, as if there was a thorn in the sole of my foot.
They were right. She had been filmed in that kind of video. She had sold her body and been a mistress. She had guessed that this day would come when the video was filmed, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
Not long after Jiang Yiming's death, she suffered another heavy blow like this.
Shen Qing walked out of the school gate and stood on the stairs looking down. Everyone was in class at this time and there were not many people here, but Shen Qing felt that countless eyes were staring at her, leaving her nowhere to escape.
The driver parked the car at the school gate, and Shen Qing could see it as soon as he walked out of the school gate. The air in the car was too stuffy, so the driver got out and leaned against the front of the car to wait for someone. When he saw Shen Qing's figure appear, he was about to get in the car, but suddenly, Shen Qing's body shook, and his upper body leaned forward uncontrollably, and the whole person rolled down the stairs.
"Ms. Shen!" the driver shouted and ran towards her.
When people fall down, they will involuntarily hold their heads with their hands, but when they roll down the stairs, no matter how much protection they take, they will always feel pain and get injured.
Shen Qing fell to the ground, and was in a daze for two seconds before she slowly got up. She twisted her wrist, her right leg hurt, and she felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
The driver came over and looked at the wound on the back of Shen Qing's hand caused by the fall. A large piece of skin was rubbed off on the ground, and there was dust mixed in the bloody wound. This injury was painful for him, a grown man, just looking at it.
He hurried over to help Shen Qing up, and asked anxiously: "Miss Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Qing shook her head. She stood up straight and gently pushed the driver's hand away: "I'll go by myself."
Even though her right leg hurt terribly, even though she felt dizzy and the ground was spinning, she would walk step by step without relying on anyone.
From now on, she doesn't expect anyone to feel sorry for her. If the sky falls, she will carry it on her own and find her own way. The worst that can happen is that her waist will be broken or her legs will be lame. Jiang Yiming once told her that if the sky falls, he will hold it up, but now he is gone and there is no one to hold it up for her. She can only carry it on her own.
The driver opened the back door, watched Shen Qing stumble in, and then closed the door quietly.
“Miss Shen, how about I take you to the hospital for a checkup.”
"No need, this injury won't kill me. Just send me back. There's a medical kit."
The driver had nothing to say, and he couldn't force the person to go to the hospital.
After driving the car out and onto the main road, the driver glanced at Shen Qing in the rearview mirror and saw that she was lowering her head.
Although it was only a slight difference, the driver still noticed it. He found that Shen Qing's current state was somewhat different from when he entered the school. Could something have happened in between?
Shen Qing thought for a while before he figured out the driver's last name.
"Brother Chen, can you please let me see your phone?"
"Of course." The driver handed the phone to Shen Qing.
In the past, Lu Tingchuan shut down the North City network and prevented Shen Qing from looking through her phone because he didn't want her to know about Jiang Yiming's death. But now that Shen Qing already knows, there's no need to stop her from looking through her phone.
