Chapter 101: Different Family Education
After Lin Zhiya stepped forward, Zhu Yingying agreed to Lin Zhixian's first request.
The apology letter was posted on the bulletin board of Wong Tai Sin Temple and published in the largest daily newspaper in Hong Kong.
Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning did not propose any conditions that would make Zhu Yingying more embarrassed.
Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning share the same idea: they can indeed get compensation through legal means, but it will also take a long time.
Now that they are participating in the competition, clarifying the facts and restoring their reputation as soon as possible is the top priority.
Zhu Yingying's problem has been solved, as has Lin Deyu.
Lin Zhixian looked at Lin Deyu: "Master Lin previously kept saying that Senior Brother Chang and I cheated and wanted us to plead guilty. Now that the police investigation results are out, proving our innocence, shouldn't Master Lin also apologize to us?"
Chang Chunning also followed Lin Zhixian and looked at Lin Deyu.
Lin Deyu's face instantly turned the color of liver, and he was angry.
He didn't expect that Lin Zhixian would dare to use the previous incident to force him to apologize.
Don’t you even think about whether you deserve it?!
He is Lin Deyu, her father!
"Lin Zhixian, don't go too far."
Lin Zhiya saw that something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Deyu and accuse Lin Zhixian.
"Excessive?" Lin Zhixian sneered: "I don't know when a slandered victim asking for an apology is considered excessive! Or is it that Miss Lin's upbringing is different from others?"
"Lin Zhixian!" Lin Deyu could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, "Is this your tutor?"
"That's right. This is my upbringing." Lin Zhixian held his head high. "My mother taught me since I was a child that I should be upright and correct my mistakes. Of course, I should not endure being wronged. Because those bad people will not let you go just because you compromise."
"You——" Lin Deyu was so angry that he fell backwards.
Lin Zhixian looked at him sincerely and said, "Master Lin, are you angry? I just told you the truth, and you are so angry. Just now, you have repeatedly distrusted and slandered me. The grievance and anger in my heart are no less than yours. So Master Lin, you should apologize to me and Senior Brother Chang."
Chang Chunning also said seriously: "From the beginning, Master Lin refused to listen to my explanation and believed that we cheated. Now that the truth is out, Master Lin should indeed apologize to us."
Being forced by two teenagers and being watched by so many colleagues, Lin Deyu felt extremely ashamed and became even more disgusted with Lin Zhixian.
This is all Lin Zhixian’s fault!
She has been as dumb as a pig since she was young and could not learn anything. But now she got full marks in the test. Who would not suspect that she cheated?
She is his biological daughter. If the news of her cheating gets out, wouldn't his reputation be affected as well?
What's wrong with him being prepared for a rainy day?
He does this to maintain the fairness of the competition.
He did nothing wrong, okay?!
These two ignorant people actually asked him to apologize in front of so many people. They didn't even understand his good intentions. They are such ungrateful people.
Thinking of this, Lin Deyu became even angrier.
But he had indeed misunderstood Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian before. Everyone was watching, and Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian were pressing him. He couldn't just say something, so he said coldly, "I was indeed a little inappropriate before, but I didn't mean to target you. I was anxious to maintain the fairness of the competition and to cherish talented people. Now that the truth has been found out and your innocence has been proven, I hope you will take this as a warning and be more careful in what you say and do in the future, and don't make any mistakes."
"Thank you so much, Master Lin, for your hard work." Lin Zhixian said sarcastically, "Senior Brother Chang and I will naturally be more careful in what we say and do. We also hope that Master Lin can be more fair in the future in looking at each contestant and not make prejudgments that would affect the fairness of the entire competition."
Lin Deyu was so angry that his face turned green: "Of course I won't."
After saying this, he turned away.
Lin Zhiya also glared at Lin Zhixian and left.
Lin Zhixian didn't care and said to Tang Yina and the others, "I'm so sorry that you all have to wait so long because of Senior Brother Chang and I."
Chang Chunning nodded in agreement: "Thank you for your hard work, judges."
Seeing that Lin Zhixian no longer had the same confrontation with Lin Deyu as before, Tang Yina guessed that she must know that Lin Deyu was her biological father, and was probably well aware of the grudges of the previous generation, so she was so resentful.
However, what Lin Deyu did today was indeed inappropriate.
It was really cruel to suspect Chang Chunning and Lin Zhixian of cheating without any evidence and spread the rumor widely, almost ruining the future of Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning.
No wonder Lin Zhixian hated him so much and didn't give him any face at all.
After all, it was his own fault.
Tang Yina looked down on Lin Deyu in her heart, and immediately smiled and said, "You two performed very well during the initial audition. I have always been looking forward to your performance. I didn't expect that you would give me such a big surprise in the first round today. I am looking forward to how far you can go. Don't worry about what happened just now after you go back. Prepare well for the next competition. As long as you get better results, the rumors will naturally be dispelled."
The organizer will at most post a clarification notice on the bulletin board, and it is impossible to announce it to the world at the stadium. After all, this competition is in cooperation with the TV station, and the TV station will record the entire process and edit and broadcast it later. There is no need to record this kind of black spot.
However, Zhu Yingying will not only post an apology letter on the bulletin board, but will also publish it in the largest daily newspaper, which will also help Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning clarify the facts and restore their reputation.
Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning also understood these principles, so they did not make any further requests, but only said respectfully: "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Fairy Tang."
Tang Yina was very satisfied: "It's getting late, you guys should go back too."
Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning said goodbye and left, but Li Jinlun and Xu Hongmian were still there.
"How is it? Has the matter been investigated clearly?" Xu Hongmian asked anxiously.
"The police have already investigated the matter thoroughly and cleared my and Senior Brother Chang's name. The rumormonger has also been caught. She will publicly apologize on the bulletin board and in the daily newspaper tomorrow." Lin Zhixian simply explained the matter.
"That's great." Xu Hongmian and Li Jinlun both breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Hongmian said, "I knew you would be able to clear your name."
Li Jinlun nodded.
"I haven't thanked you enough." Lin Zhixian looked at the two of them and said, "After the incident, you never doubted us and always stood by me and believed in me. I really appreciate it."
"Hey, what's there to thank for? Although we just met today, we have known Senior Brother Chang for a long time. We are very clear about his abilities and we trust him as a person. And you are a friend of Senior Brother Chang, so you are naturally not bad. Of course we believe in you."
