Before school ended at noon, the homeroom teacher repeatedly warned that the news of Leng Shan vomiting should not be spread around.

But nothing stays hidden forever.

During afternoon classes, rumors of Leng Shan's pregnancy surfaced in some group chats, and soon this unverified news spread like wildfire throughout all the graduating classes.

"Who told them?"

"Since no one admits it, I'll ask them one by one."

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium, scrutinizing all the students present, but not a single one answered.

After a while, just as she was about to call roll, the two girls who had gone to the restroom earlier spoke up.

"Teacher, it wasn't necessarily someone in our class who spread it."

"There were other people in the restroom at the time, I don't know if they were teachers or students."

If we really want to investigate, we have to start from the source, check the surveillance footage, check the chat logs, and eliminate possibilities one by one... But they are graduating students, and they have a joint exam next week. It's simply unrealistic to conduct this kind of inexplicable investigation at this time.

Because students won't cooperate, and parents are even less likely to allow this to happen.

Sure enough, not long after the class meeting ended, some parents came to the school.

They came in a group.

Their only request was to transfer Ling Yu and Leng Shan to another class.

After the incident on social media, the school should have held a meeting immediately to discuss and make arrangements for these two problematic students, instead of letting them affect the learning of other students in the honors class.

The homeroom teacher had to appease the parents while also dealing with the insults and demands for accountability from the Leng couple.

"I warned you long ago that if any rumors about my daughter were to spread, I would not let you off the hook!"

The mother's tone was fierce, but she lacked some of her previous imposing manner.

The homeroom teacher endured being scolded for more than ten minutes. Only after Leng's mother had finished scolding and stopped did she repeat the first question she had asked after the phone call was connected.

"Then, Madam Leng, please tell me, what exactly is the situation with Shanshan?"

The mother was about to start scolding again when the homeroom teacher quickly interrupted her.

She said that there were indeed many bad rumors circulating at the school, and they had tried their best to curb them, but the results were not satisfactory. The reason was probably clear to Mrs. Leng: fifteen- or sixteen-year-old children are in their adolescence and have great curiosity and imagination about everything.

If the problem isn't addressed at its source, the rumors won't stop.

"So, can you tell me what's going on with Shanshan right now?"

"If a medical diagnosis from a top-tier hospital is obtained, the rumors circulating at the school will likely be resolved quickly."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Leng's mother started cursing.

"This is the quality of a teacher!"

"How dare you, a teacher, make such malicious assumptions about your own students? Do you even deserve to be a teacher?"

They change the subject, beat around the bush, and just don't answer the question directly.

The homeroom teacher, suppressing his anger, reminded her again, "Mrs. Leng, if I may be frank, the only way to effectively alleviate this situation is to release the diagnosis report. Even then, it's very likely that no one will believe the diagnosis report is the truth... You don't need to rush to scold me; this is the reality. If you truly love Shanshan, please calm down and think carefully about what I'm saying."

This is also what the school meant.

If the Leng family cannot provide an answer, they will have no choice but to respect the demands of the majority of parents and remove Leng Shan from the honors class.

The homeroom teacher was very polite from beginning to end, but Mrs. Leng was still furious.

She threw down her phone, cursed the teacher and the school for a while, then glared at the nanny who brought her tea, "Where's Shanshan? Has she opened the door?"

"No……"

"What are you good for? I asked you to bring her food, and it's been a whole day and you haven't even opened the door!"

"..."

Didn't you knock on it either?

The nanny dared not speak out in anger. After being splashed with a cup of not-too-hot tea, she cleaned up the mess, while Madam Leng stormed upstairs.

Leng Shan hasn't opened the door to her room since yesterday.

At first, she was worried about provoking Leng Shan, since Leng Shan was used to being willful and could do anything in a moment of impulse. She didn't dare to push her too hard, for fear that Leng Shan would commit suicide.

But if she doesn't pressure Leng Shan, everyone else will pressure her.

"Shanshan, open the door!"

"I'm saying this one last time, if you don't open the door, I'm going to call the workers to break it down."

There was still no sound.

Having run out of patience, Leng's mother called her husband with a sullen face.

"When will the people you arranged arrive? Fine, I'll have them bang on the door in half an hour..."

Before he could finish speaking, the nanny appeared.

"Madam, Young Master Ling has arrived."

...

"That shouldn't be the case, the female lead isn't pregnant at this time."

After school, as Yan Can walked with her classmates, 377 made a questioning sound.

It checked the plot and found that Leng Shan's pregnancy and miscarriage occurred much later in the story. By then, the original owner of the body had already died, and the villain Yan Yu, in order to avenge his sister, plotted many harmful schemes, which led to Leng Shan's miscarriage.

Yan Can: "But the plot is no longer of much reference value."

377 thought that made sense, and then asked Yan Can, "Does the host know that Leng Shan is really pregnant?"

Yan Can: "Now I know."

377: "..."

As soon as they got downstairs, Xu Wei tugged at Yan Can's sleeve, "Can Can, your brother is here to pick you up."

Because of Leng Shan's incident, many parents are afraid that their children will be led astray, or that they will be indiscriminately retaliated against because of so-called rumors, so they have started picking up and dropping off their children themselves again.

The Yan family attaches great importance to this.

After all, with just a few words from Leng Shan, Yan Can could easily become the one spreading rumors.

Yan's parents originally wanted to pick up Yan Can themselves, but they were too busy with work to do so. So Yan Conghe volunteered, saying that he would be staying for a few more days and that he could pick up and drop off Yan Can safely.

While others wait at the school gate to pick them up, he waits directly downstairs in the teaching building.

He took Yan Can's schoolbag, watched her say goodbye to her classmates, and then asked her if she was tired from studying today, if she was thirsty, and what she wanted to eat later. He also mentioned that Yan Yu would be back tonight.

Yan Can: "When my brother comes back, we'll go home to eat."

Yan Conghe: "Then let's go home."

The news about Leng Shan was spreading like wildfire, but Yan Conghe had no interest in gossip at all. He was only worried that the two of them might contract swine fever again, causing Yan Can to suffer. So he asked Yan Can if anything bad had happened at school.

Yan Can said, "They weren't there in the afternoon, but the others were very friendly."

At least no one came up to her and said anything they shouldn't have.

Yan Conghe: "That's good."

No sooner had Yan Can finished speaking than her phone rang.

Yan Conghe was curious but didn't look in that direction. Then she heard Yan Can say, "Xu Wei's message says that Madam Leng chopped Ling Yu's head off."

"puff!"

Yan Conghe laughed out loud without any politeness.

"Then what?"

"The rumors are true."

At the hospital, a heated argument broke out between the two families, and then Leng Shan publicly admitted that she was pregnant with Ling Yu's child.

She broke ties with her parents.
