Seeing the deep suspicion on Yunfan's face, Chen Tianchi guessed that Yunfan might not completely believe what he had said. Indeed, he himself had once been completely fooled by Tian Siyin's alluring appearance.
But Yunfan wasn't him. Chen Tianchi felt that Yunfan was like a wounded beast, suffering from pain and anger, and no one knew what he would do next to vent his pain and anger.
He didn't want to be Yunfan's first target for venting.
Fortunately, just as he was anxiously trying to figure out a way to escape, the sound of police sirens came.
One of Yunfan's underlings reported, "The cops are here."
Yunfan pointed his chin at Chen Tianchi: "Throw him down."
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Despite the recent upheavals in the Yun family, dealing with Chen Tianchi is still a piece of cake. He will wait until he has figured things out before thinking about how to take revenge on these guys.
Upon hearing his words, Chen Tianchi felt a sense of relief: This ordeal should be over by now!
Chen Tianchi escaped unharmed this time. He verified the situation with the police, gave a statement, and left. Back home, lying in bed late at night, he calmed down and realized something was wrong: Wait a minute, why was Yunfan so convinced he and Tian Siyin had made a deal? Didn't Yunfan verify the truth with Tian Siyin before coming to him?
When Chen Tianchi thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat again: Tian Siyin is really something else. Yun Fan, such a brilliant person, was actually deceived by her like this!
But then he thought about it again, and realized he himself had been badly deceived back then, even losing his engagement...
At the start of the new semester, the results of the previous semester's final exams were released. Tian Siyin had originally been expecting to see Lin Nian make a fool of herself, but to her surprise, when the results came out, Lin Nian actually made it into the lowest tier of scholarships. Although her grades couldn't compare to those of the top students, they were a significant improvement over the Lin Nian of the past.
But Tian Siyin's own grades, for some reason, were several points lower than Lin Nian's, and she was excluded from the scholarship pool. This was something Tian Siyin found hard to accept. She was clearly working much harder than Lin Nian! Could it be that the school had given Lin Nian the exam questions in advance?
Although Tian Siyin harbored various grievances and doubts, she dared not spread rumors without evidence, fearing that she would be caught and get into trouble. However, just because she didn't spread the rumors didn't mean she couldn't let others spread them.
She found Xiao Zhang again. Little did she know that Xiao Zhang had already sold her out to Chen Tianchi!
When Xiao Zhang was approached by her, he thought she was there to settle scores with him. However, he knew that Tian Siyin was about to break up with Yun Fan and that the chances of her getting together with Chen Tianchi were slim, so he didn't need to be afraid of her.
Xiao Zhang was surprised that Tian Siyin had only asked him to spread the word that Lin Nian had stolen exam questions and that's why her grades were high enough for the scholarship; she hadn't mentioned Chen Tianchi at all. Xiao Zhang then realized that this woman knew absolutely nothing about it!
This time, Xiao Zhang was smarter and said, "You and Yun Fan haven't been getting along lately. Is it too late for me to intern at Yun's company during my senior year? What do you want me to do this time? You'll have to give me cash first."
"You want money?" Tian Siyin asked, her voice filled with shock and anger. "Is it appropriate for us to talk about money given our relationship?"
Xiao Zhang: "What's inappropriate about it? There's no reason to make people work for free. Besides, this kind of thing is baseless and unfounded. And if people find out that I'm the one who spread this, I'll offend that rich lady! No matter how you look at it, it's all bad for me."
In the end, Xiao Zhang received a prepayment of 5,000 yuan from Tian Siyin. He would receive another 5,000 yuan once the rumors spread. Tian Siyin was very upset when she left. She didn't expect Xiao Zhang to become so mercenary, extorting so much money from her even though they were old classmates.
She secretly made up her mind that she would never give Xiao Zhang the other five thousand yuan, no matter what.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Zhang had done something like this; he seemed quite adept at it. The rumor that Lin Nian improved her grades by stealing questions spread like wildfire and quickly became known throughout the entire campus.
Some people started a thread to discuss Lin Nian's final grades from last semester.
"How could that be? Last semester, I saw Lin Nian studying very hard every day."
"Yes, I heard that she would read her textbooks during breaks from filming commercials."
"Yes, yes, she didn't skip a single class last semester. I think she just started working hard, which is why her grades improved."
"Yeah, if you're going to steal the exam questions, you should at least get a first-class scholarship!"
...
What infuriated Tian Siyin was that the forum was overwhelmingly in favor of Lin Nian. Her posts about Lin Nian stealing the questions, made using several alternate accounts, were quickly buried among these posts and no one saw them at all.
While she was holding her phone, feeling frustrated, Chu Nian was having a blast. Tian Siyin's skills were child's play; she thought she could compete with this old fox who had been roaming the entertainment industry for so many years? She was too green!
Tian Siyin can hire people, and so can Chu Nian, and she's much richer than Tian Siyin.
At lunchtime, Chen Tianxi took Chu Nian's arm and said affectionately, "Nian Nian, shall we have lunch together?"
"Okay!" Chu Nian readily agreed, but when she looked up, she saw Chen Tianchi waiting at the door, and three black lines immediately appeared on her forehead. "Forget it, your brother is looking for you."
Chen Tianxi chuckled and said, "Niannian, you've turned bad!"
Chu Nian asked knowingly, "What do you mean?"
Chen Tianxi: "You knew perfectly well that my brother came looking for you."
Chu Nian: "Why did he contact me? I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Chen Tianxi: "He regrets it now, can't you reconsider him?"
Chu Nian: "No."
Chen Tianxi: "Why?"
Chu Nian: "I've said it before, once a girl sees through a boy's true colors, it's hard for her to like him anymore."
As they said this, the two had already reached the classroom door, and Chen Tianchi overheard their conversation, which left him feeling extremely dejected.
But he still suppressed his temper and shamelessly said, "Tianxi, let's have lunch together."
Chen Tianxi quickly agreed: "Okay, I have no objection. Niannian, let's go together."
Chu Nian readily refused: "I'm not going."
Chen Tianxi shook her arm playfully, "Don't do that!"
Chu Nian shook off her hand: "I'm really not going." Then she turned and left.
Chen Tianchi watched her fleeing figure, his heart filled with bitterness.
Chen Tianxi sighed, shrugged helplessly, and said, "I helped you, but there's nothing I can do. Judging from her expression, she really has no intention of turning back."
Chen Tianchi gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, we're still young. I'll... I'll work harder in the future!"
