Shi Qian also noticed Shi Wang's gaze, which was filled with shock and pity. Shi Qian was a little confused. Ever since Shi Wang started to hate him, his eyes had always been filled with disgust and anger at his lack of ambition.
This was the first time he had ever seen another emotion.
Shi Wang saw the confusion in Shi Qian's expression and remembered when Shi Qian was little. He was so small and weak, and his family took great care of him.
Just to save him, he was beaten up for nothing, ended up with injuries, was sent to such a far place for treatment, and even developed a fever to the point of losing his memory.
This must be a really bad fever; Shi Wang felt so sorry for him.
Sun Hongru became more and more excited as she spoke. She refused to believe that Shi Wang would let this matter go so easily, since it involved Shi Yan.
“I know you love your younger brother Shi Yan very much. Shi Yan is not good with words and doesn’t say anything when he is bullied. He just suffers in silence. As an outsider, it breaks my heart to see him like this.”
"He probably told you when he got home that he accidentally fell and hurt himself. He probably didn't tell you what Shi Qian did. He's just too soft-hearted and always ends up getting the short end of the stick."
If Sun Hongru said more good things about Shi Yan at this moment, she didn't believe Shi Wang wouldn't be moved. Seeing how much she cared about his younger brother, Shi Wang would probably have a better impression of her.
"No, we know about Shi Yan's injury, but it has nothing to do with Shi Qian. We hope the teacher will not believe the rumors."
Sun Hongru was stunned by Shi Wang's words. She clearly remembered that when she asked Shi Yan last time, Shi Yan told her that there was no need to tell her family about these things, as it would affect her relationship with her brothers.
When did Shi Yan tell his family the truth?
Sun Hongru thought for a moment and figured that Shi Wangren was probably the most appropriate person to do it, not wanting to air their dirty laundry in public, so he directly slapped Shi Qian in the face and embarrassed him.
But Sun Hongru wasn't going to let Shi Qian off so easily. She turned to Shi Qian and asked, "Tell me if you stole Shi Yan's sheet music or hurt his hand. The teacher is right here. Tell me the truth."
He believed that Shi Wang was so smart that she could guess Shi Qian's bullying behavior towards Shi Yan from her words. As long as Shi Qian continued to deny it, it would only prove that Shi Qian was unrepentant and refused to admit his mistakes.
"I didn't steal, and I didn't hit anyone."
Shi Qian wasn't used to explaining, so he simply stated the facts.
But Sun Hongru didn't think so. She felt that Shi Qian's silence was a sign of guilt. She noticed that Shi Wang's expression was off and assumed that Shi Wang was dissatisfied with Shi Qian's answer.
He continued to press, "Lying is not something a student should do. If you admit your mistake and correct it, no one will blame you. But if you refuse to admit it, then you have a problem with your character."
Shi Qian was getting a little annoyed by the questions. He had already said no, so what else could he say? Did they really have to admit that he stole and hit the other person to be sure?
Shi Yan, who was standing to the side, noticed Shi Qian's expression and saw that Shi Qian was impatient and too lazy to explain, and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
[What's with the self-righteous airs? If you don't explain, you'll just be taking the blame.]
Teacher Sun said I'm bad at talking, but I'm not bad at talking; it's Shi Qian who's bad at it.
Shi Yan suddenly remembered how he had bullied and framed Shi Qian in the Shi family in the past.
[Why is Shi Qian always so stupid? He should have just told me when I stole his sheet music, instead of uttering a single word. I don't know what he's so stubborn about.]
[But he's probably scared, after all, he explained it so many times when he was a kid, and nobody believed him.]
[I deliberately smashed my own piano and said he did it, and Su Kaiyue believed me immediately. Shi Qian cried and tried to explain, but it was no use, hahaha.]
My hand still hurts a little. This fake fall was too convincing. I'll have to be more careful next time. But it's much better than when Qian pushed me down the stairs during the setup.
[That idiot Shi Qian thought I'd tripped and tried to grab me. Hilarious! How could he possibly catch me?]
Fortunately, the result was very satisfactory, and Shi Wang, that biased older brother, immediately gave up on Shi Qian.
The entire Shi family is stupid. Su Kaiyue is, and so is Shi Wang. They don't trust their own son and brother, but instead trust outsiders.
[Shi Qian is pitiful; she likes this older brother so much, yet she's constantly disliked and hated.]
[By the way, didn't he want a violin case before? Haha, nobody bought it for him. When he found out that my violin case was bought by his favorite older brother, he almost cried.]
...
Hearing Shi Yan's innermost thoughts, Shi Wang felt his heart breaking.
He had completely given up on Shi Qian because of the incident where Shi Qian pushed Shi Yan down the stairs, and his attitude towards Shi Qian became increasingly worse, to the point that he even hated him.
Shi Wang remembered that Shi Qian had begged him for money to buy the violin case, but he refused because Shi Qian had injured Shi Yan again and refused to admit it, citing that Shi Qian didn't know how to play a musical instrument.
Was Shi Qian particularly helpless and heartbroken at that time?
Shi Wang felt more and more heartbroken. What had he been doing all this time? Shi Qian was his own younger brother, how could he treat a child like this?
Shi Qian wasn't naughty or ignorant at all; she was clearly too sensible, not even coming to tell him about such a great injustice.
But how could Shi Qian dare to tell me when I treated him so badly? Even if he did, would he have believed me back then?
Shi Wang rubbed his temples, realizing he had made a grave mistake.
Seeing Shi Wang's headache, Sun Hongru knew that her question had worked. She refused to believe that Shi Qian's life in the Shi family would be any better in the future!
Shi Wang felt he had failed as an older brother. He didn't know why he was able to hear Shi Yan's thoughts today, but since he had the opportunity, he decided to learn everything he wanted to know.
"Shi Yan, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."
Shi Yan was surprised when Shi Wang suddenly called him. He paused for a few seconds, then realized what was happening and obediently moved closer.
"How is Shi Qian doing at school?"
[What kind of question is this, Shi Wang? Isn't Shi Qian here? You should ask Shi Qian this question, why are you asking me?]
Although Shi Yan was puzzled, he still answered, "It's alright."
[What a load of rubbish! Nobody in the whole school likes him, okay?]
[Thanks to those messy, fabricated posts on the forum, Shi Qian is indeed a thief and a bully who picks on his classmates.]
Who would want to hang out with someone like that? Besides, Shi Qian is so aloof, who would want to be friends with him?
[He goes out to school every weekend and doesn't attend any parties or gatherings. I don't know what he's doing there.]
[She's probably out of money and taking on a part-time job. Didn't Su Kaiyue say that Shi Qian gave her 3 million yuan? She also said that Shi Qian said they were even and had nothing to do with the Shi family anymore. This money is probably all of Shi Qian's assets.]
[Right now, Shi Qian is penniless; he probably gets his meals by mooching off other people.]
3 million? Shi Wang hadn't heard Su Kaiyue mention this. Shi Qian had returned all the money to the Shi family. He was still in high school; how could he have time to earn money?
No wonder Shi Qian has lost so much weight, is she out of money for food?
Shi Wang sighed and then said, "You two are brothers, so you should help each other out at school."
Shi Yan nodded and replied, "I will."
[What a load of bull, bro. I'll just make things worse.]
[I went to great lengths to make everyone believe that Shi Qian was the poor relative, framing him for so many bad things, not to make things easier for him at school.]
