Shi Yan played the victim and then praised Shi Qian wildly. In just a few words from Shi Yan, Shi Qian became a rich but foolish playboy.
Gao Shun was persuaded. Although Su Mei hesitated and felt it was inappropriate, she had no say in the matter.
The next afternoon after school, Gao Shun and Su Mei appeared at the gate of No. 1 Middle School. The two were dressed in tattered clothes, and sat down on the ground in front of the school gate with a "thud" and began to wail.
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son! You go to the city to enjoy a life of luxury, leaving the two of us in our hometown. You haven't come back to visit us for over ten years!"
"His mother carried him for ten months and was left with a host of illnesses, and he just left with a rich man, abandoning us!"
"He won't answer the phone, he won't reply to messages, how could we have given birth to such an unfilial son..."
"He lives a life of luxury in the city, while his poor younger siblings can only drink plain porridge every day...!"
“My leg became lame while I was working, my mother was laid off from the factory, and my younger brother is sick and we don’t even have money to take him to the hospital!”
"I'm so old, and I still have to sell my blood to support my family..."
"He has money to get plastic surgery and buy this and that, but he won't even give us a few hundred dollars to help us in an emergency..."
"What a miserable fate we have! Giving birth to a piece of char siu would be better than giving birth to him..."
Gao Shun knelt on the ground and started howling. Years of smoking had made his throat uncomfortable, and he would spit on the ground every few words, which was so disgusting that people couldn't bear to look at him.
He kept Shi Yan's instructions in mind: the more miserable he sounded, the better. Although this young master had a bad temper, he was very soft-hearted and compassionate. As long as he could attract his attention, the money would definitely be no problem.
Su Mei said nothing, but sat next to Gao Shun, wiping away her tears. Anyone who saw her thin, bony body and weathered face would know that she had had a very hard life.
Gao Shun's outburst attracted a large crowd, especially during dismissal time when the crowd was at its largest. Everyone was startled by Gao Shun's rude and vulgar behavior and avoided him.
The security guards rushed out to chase him away, but Gao Shun stubbornly refused to leave, shouting something loudly.
"Make him come out! Tell him to come out! We'll leave once he comes out!"
The security guard looked displeased, but Gao Shun stuck to the floor like a leech. When others tried to pull him away, he would spit in their faces, and the people holding him would immediately let go out of disgust.
"Who are you looking for?" the security guard asked with a hint of disdain.
Gao Shun quickly spoke up, "We're looking for Shi Qian. You know Shi Qian, right? He studies here!"
The security guard didn't recognize Shi Qian and assumed that the couple might be the parents of the person named Shi Qian.
The security guard sent someone to call Shi Qian, saying someone was looking for her outside. Shi Qian was just about to pack her things to go eat when she was stopped.
Who would come looking for him at this time? Could it be that Chairman Yuan sent someone to deliver something again?
Shi Qian walked to the school gate with his schoolbag on his back. Gao Shun had already seen Shi Qian's photo from Shi Yan. As soon as Shi Qian appeared, Gao Shun immediately got up and pounced on him, kneeling down with a thud and hugging Shi Qian's legs with both hands.
"Please have pity on us, we really can't go on living..."
"Just give us some money, and we promise we won't bother you again..."
"Please have some compassion. We wouldn't have come to the school to find you if we weren't desperate..."
...
Gao Shun begged Shi Qian with tears streaming down his face. Shi Qian was a germaphobe, and Gao Shun felt like the air around him had turned into poison gas.
Who is this?
Shi Qian had absolutely no recollection of it.
Shi Qian frowned, shifted her position, and tried to pull her leg out. "I don't know you."
Gao Shun howled even louder upon hearing this.
"Please give us some money, just out of pity for us country folk. We promise we'll never come to Yancheng again..."
"open."
Shi Qian used some force, not very strong, but to onlookers, it looked as if Gao Shun had been kicked, and he fell backward instantly.
"Oh dear, what a tragedy, what a tragedy..."
Shi Qian felt confused and turned to leave, but Gao Shun dragged himself back to her.
"I'm calling the police if you don't let go."
Shi Qian spoke coldly, and Gao Shun quickly let go upon hearing the word "call the police."
Why is this different from what Shi Yan said? Gao Shun's entire operation and rhetoric today were taught by Shi Yan, who said that this would definitely win Shi Qian's sympathy.
Gao Shun had never dealt with wealthy people before, and Shi Yan had grown up with Shi Qian in the Shi family, so he naturally listened to Shi Yan.
Although Gao Shun was arrogant, he knew that the common people could not fight against the officials, and he immediately cowered when he heard the police were called.
He pulled Su Mei, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, and slunk away.
Shi Qian looked down at her clothes and pants, which had been torn to shreds by the middle-aged man. "Great," she thought, "these clothes are ruined."
Shi Qian ignored the crowd of onlookers at the school gate and went straight back to her dormitory to take a shower.
The students watching were whispering among themselves.
Shi Qian is quite a celebrity at No. 1 High School, since there are frequent popular posts about him on the forum. Considering that the forum says Shi Qian is from the countryside, the people causing trouble at the school gate are probably his parents.
"Were those the couple just now Shi Qian's parents?"
"It shouldn't be, it doesn't look like it..."
"Didn't the forum say that Shi Qian was brought over from the countryside by the Shi family? That couple doesn't look like city people at all."
"I think they are Shi Qian's biological parents, otherwise why would they specifically ask to see Shi Qian right away..."
"Is what they're saying true? Is Shi Qian really abandoning his parents for wealth?"
"Of course, hasn't he always been like this?"
"How heartless..."
...
Shi Yan, hiding in a corner, watched Shi Qian's departing figure and heard the surrounding classmates' discussions, knowing that the plan had succeeded.
Gao Shun is brainless, and Su Mei is indecisive. They will believe whatever he says. Shi Yan instructed Gao Shun to do as he said and not to mention their relationship with him. He then tried to play the victim to get Shi Qian to come out.
Once Shi Qian comes out, pretend to be pitiful to stall him. The young master of the Shi family hates trouble and can't stand this kind of scene, so he will definitely give it to him.
These words effectively obscure the relationship between Shi Qian and Gao Shun, leading outsiders to believe that Gao Shun and Su Mei are Shi Qian's parents.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come all this way to file a complaint and specifically demand to see Shi Qian.
No one at school knew about Shi Qian's relationship with the Shi family; everyone thought he was a poor relative the Shi family had taken in from the countryside.
Shi Qian has severed ties with the Shi family, so naturally she won't explain, only saying that she doesn't know them, which is all within Shi Yan's expectations.
Gao Shun's attempt to play the victim will make others think that Shi Qian is deliberately ignoring his biological parents.
Shi Qian's actions perfectly illustrate that he lived a good life in the Shi family, and when his biological parents came looking for him, he pretended not to know them and called the police. He was a complete ingrate.
Next, he will make the whole school know about what happened to Shi Qian today. He said he would definitely ruin Shi Qian's reputation.
Shi Yan looked down and sent a video to someone, then sent a message.
