Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Niece, would you like to have dinner with me? ...
Shen Qingyuan immediately frowned, expressing his disbelief. Xu Lang immediately took out his mobile phone and showed him the chat history in the gossip group.
When I turned to the end, there was only a screenshot that could not be considered as evidence. If a sentence without any basis could be used as evidence, the whole world would be in chaos.
However, the onlookers in the group believed it and started digging up information about Shen Xingchuan, including many photos of him being interviewed or appearing in magazines.
He immediately gained a lot of fans in the group: "How can someone be so handsome!"
"I really envy Yao Yingxia!"
"What's there to envy? Shen Xingchuan must be just playing around."
"You want to be played with, but people look down on you."
Somehow, the group started arguing, until someone continued to reveal: "You all know the top student in high school who always gets first place in the exam, right? He's Shen Xingchuan's nephew."
"You mean Shen Qingyuan? How come a nephew has the same surname as his uncle?"
"I heard he took his mother's surname."
"If you look closely, they do look a bit like it."
The Shen family members are almost all cast in the same mold: tall, handsome, with deep facial features and high IQ. However, Shen Qingyuan does not have a pair of peach blossom eyes, so he looks much colder.
So Xu Lang, who had been obsessed with eating melons the whole morning, instantly recognized the man in the school square. After all, he looked like that and was really unforgettable.
At this time, someone said weakly: "It turns out that I was not wrong last night."
"What did you see?"
"I was standing at the back door as a punishment last night, and I saw a handsome guy in the corridor hurriedly carrying a girl down the stairs. Today, after seeing the pictures you sent, I realized it was Shen Xingchuan." At that time, she looked at him from a distance and thought that the man was extremely handsome. She couldn't help but take a few more glances, and was deeply impressed.
"Holy crap, he was hugging Yao Yingxia in school? Is he that blatant?"
The man replied: "I didn't see the girl's face clearly, so I'm not sure if it was Yao Yingxia. I just remember she was very white."
This is almost irrefutable evidence.
Xu Lang never thought that one day he would be at the forefront of the melon-eating scene. Just when he was about to take out his mobile phone to take a picture of the situation in the square, he saw Yao Yingxia quickly walk into the high school teaching building. The man behind her stood for a while before following her in slowly.
Xu Lang was very annoyed for a moment. Why was he a little slow? He shouldn't have been so anxious to call Shen Qingyuan to eat melon. It was a pity that he could not provide first-hand information.
However, Xu Lang was not the only one with sharp eyes. Soon two high-definition photos were updated in the gossip group. Both of them had the school square as the background. Xu Lang quickly showed them to Shen Qingyuan.
One photo showed Yao Yingxia walking forward, Shen Xingchuan grinning behind her. Shen Qingyuan rarely saw his uncle smile so happily. He seemed easygoing, but he was incredibly unpredictable. When he was in a bad mood, he was even more intimidating. Everyone who knew him knew that Shen Xingchuan was not to be messed with.
Shen Qingyuan pulled his thoughts back and looked at the second photo.
Yao Yingxia turned back to look at Shen Xingchuan, looking very angry. He had never seen anyone dare to be so rude to his uncle before, but Shen Xingchuan acted like a good man, spreading his hands with a smile on his face but feeling helpless.
Xu Lang passionately interpreted the speech: "Look, your uncle still wants to hug her!"
Many people in the group were saying "It's confirmed", and now even Shen Qingyuan believed it 90%, and the remaining 10% came from his understanding and trust in Shen Xingchuan.
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Qingyuan has lived under the glory of his uncle. His mother always praised his younger brother as the smartest and most persevering person in the family. No matter what he wanted to do, he could do his best. He was able to get a full scholarship to a top foreign university when he was in school. After graduation, he started to focus on his career. Even the paparazzi could not dig up any gossip about him.
If the rumors were true, Yao Yingxia's mother would follow his eldest uncle, and Yao Yingxia would follow his younger uncle. How chaotic would their relationship be? Their always good and upright family tradition would be distorted.
Xu Lang looked at Shen Qingyuan who was lost in thought, and poked him: "Hey, go ask your uncle what he is doing in school?" Shen Qingyuan came back to his senses and started writing the test paper: "Not interested." After all, it had nothing to do with him.
In the reception room, Shen Xingchuan was drinking tea. Principal Zhang stood beside him, smiling awkwardly: "Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
People from the school's information department are exporting the surveillance backup from Hou Wenbin's office. Because the file is too large, the progress is very slow.
"It's okay." Shen Xingchuan smiled amiably. "My man is coming soon. He's very skilled and should be able to fix it quickly."
Sure enough, five minutes later, Pan Yue pushed the door open, greeted Shen Xingchuan, and took over the equipment. I don't know how he operated it, but the progress bar that was originally moving at a snail's pace suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, and the backup was completed quickly.
Pan Yue sent the backup to a group of five people and issued an order according to Shen Xingchuan's request: "Cut out all the video clips that appear in this girl separately and sort them by date and notes." He sent a photo of Yao Yingxia's ID.
Pan Yue added another message: "I just opened the video and heard a lot of noise. Remember to reduce the noise to increase the clarity of the conversation."
Then Pan Yue took away Hou Wenbin's desktop computer. From what Shen Xingchuan said, he wanted to check all the transaction records of unknown origin in his accounts. He really didn't know how a small grade director could offend their boss. Pan Yue had never taken action against such a small person before.
At twelve o'clock, Shen Xingchuan had already received the packaged video file, and he said to Principal Zhang, who had been accompanying him, "You should go and take care of your own business first."
Principal Zhang glanced at his watch and said, "It's already so late, do you want to eat first?"
"Thank you, I'm not hungry." He looked a little impatient.
Principal Zhang, sitting in this position, was naturally very good at reading people's expressions and quickly went out to close the door.
He clicked on the first video in the folder, and Hou Wenbin's voice immediately came into his ears, accompanied by those unbearable frame-ups and slanders, which made him seem even more hateful.
Shen Xingchuan had to pause the video at one point to calm down before clicking on it again, but what followed was even more anger. How could he dare?
Why didn't his little niece know how to resist? How could she be so tolerant? If Hou Wenbin hadn't blamed her mother, would she have endured it until graduation?
Before he could finish watching the entire video at high speed, it was already dark and his mood plummeted like the setting sun.
If Hou Wenbin doesn't spend the rest of his life in prison, it would be a shame for what he has done.
It was almost time for get out of class to end when Shen Xingchuan finally left the reception room. Principal Zhang had been waiting outside. Seeing him emerge with a gloomy expression, he hurried over to greet him and asked cautiously, "Are you hungry? I'm treating you tonight."
Shen Xingchuan was walking towards the school cafeteria. He suddenly wanted to try the meals she ate every day.
On the way, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yao Yingxia: "Niece, I'm in the private room on the second floor of your restaurant. Do you want to have dinner with me?"
He helped her so much, so she should at least give him some face, right? Shen Xingchuan thought confidently.
However, Yao Yingxia didn't even reply after reading the text message. She asked Jin Ruyi, "I'm not going to dinner tonight. Please bring me some soy milk. Thank you."
Jin Ruyi looked at her deskmate with some concern, but in the end she just patted her on the shoulder and went to buy food.
As soon as Yao Yingxia entered the classroom in the morning, she felt unprecedented enthusiastic attention. After all, the big news was so shocking that even if they were not in the gossip group, they knew the whole story through word of mouth.
Qin Mian, despite being in physics class at the time, started to jeer in front of everyone, "Hey, why is our classmate Yingxia so late today? Did she work overtime last night?"
He had always been close to Zhao Xiaohui, and he followed He Ming's lead, so naturally he wouldn't miss the opportunity to humiliate her. The boys who often hung out with Qin Mian immediately burst into laughter.
Even though what he said was so harsh, Yao Yingxia didn't react at all and walked straight to her seat.
Jin Ruyi was about to retort when Chen Xiaoping got the better of him: "Qin Mian, stand outside as punishment. How dare you, someone who only gets 20 points on physics, disrupt class discipline here? And you guys, what's so funny? Stand outside with him."
The class immediately became much quieter, but Yao Yingxia didn't hear a single word during the entire physics class.
Anyone would be fine, why was she rumored to be with Shen Xingchuan? She felt an unprecedented anxiety.
Jin Ruyi was one of the few people who knew about her relationship with the Shen family. She suggested, "How about I send a clarification to the gossip group, saying that your mother is dating Shen Xingchuan's brother?"
She thought about it and rejected the suggestion: "I don't want to disclose my mother's privacy." Who knows what those people will say when they discuss it. Bullying her is fine, but affecting Xu Nian is absolutely not allowed.
Besides, even if she said that, it couldn't prove that she and Shen Xingchuan didn't have a relationship of support. After all, they were not real relatives.
Thinking that Shen Qingyuan was also in A, she sighed heavily again. The only thing to be thankful for was that based on her previous interactions, Shen Qingyuan was very aloof and did not seem like the kind of person who liked to listen to gossip.
Yao Yingxia's low mood lasted until school was over in the afternoon. She tried hard to cheer herself up. The most important thing at the moment was the college entrance examination. Her bad mood was really affecting her studies. How could she get a top score if she continued like this?
Besides, it's just rumors and doesn't count. Even if it reaches the ears of the Shen family, they will just deny it when asked. They have no relationship, and Shen Xingchuan will not allow others to slander him.
Yao Yingxia had just prepared herself mentally and gradually regained her composure. She didn't want Shen Xingchuan to bother her again.
It seems that he is really free recently and is still in school at this time.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Shen Xingchuan called again. Yao Yingxia quickly hung up, afraid that he would come to the class without caring about anything, so she finally replied: "I'm busy."
Shen Xingchuan replied immediately: "My little niece, no matter how busy you are studying, you still have to eat. I will support you from now on, and no one will dare to bully you again."
Yao Yingxia's face turned completely black. Is this how Shen Xingchuan supported her?
She replied, "Don't bother me," then took a deep breath, took out a physics test paper and started writing.
Shen Xingchuan felt very complicated after receiving the news. Why didn't she have any patience with him? Was he not as good as Hou Wenbin? Thinking about it from another angle, people are always willing to show patience to strangers. He is not an outsider, right?
This thought was enough to make Shen Xingchuan happy again. He called Shen Qingyuan and said, "My dear nephew, I'm in your school cafeteria. Come and have dinner with me."
