Shi Wang walked out of the teaching building and went straight to the principal's office to ask about what happened in the music room that day.
Xu Wenbing was somewhat surprised when Wang suddenly brought up the matter of the music room. He had been present the whole time and told Wang the whole story.
When Shi Wang mentioned that Shi Qian had been the subject of rumors, Xu Wenbing was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected things to develop this way.
Remembering that Shi Qian was not only the youngest son of the Shi family, but also Yan Zhengming's beloved disciple, Xu Wenbing knew that this matter should not be underestimated.
He immediately called Chen Qian and asked him to contact the other people who were in the music room at the time and compile a clarification document detailing what happened in the music room.
They also retrieved relevant surveillance footage before and after Shi Yan's injury to pinpoint the exact time of the injury.
Shi Wang also instructed his assistant to check the hotel's surveillance footage from that day to prove that Shi Qian went up to the hotel alone.
All the surveillance footage from the exam room, the music room incident, the hotel entrance, and all related written clarifications have been compiled and posted on the school bulletin board and campus forum.
Shi Wang knew that there was no need to prove such things, but he couldn't bear to see his younger brother being slandered like this. He knew that as long as there were still some unclear points, rumors could spread like wildfire.
Of course, Shi Wang could use the power of the Shi family to force these people to shut up, but he didn't want to.
He must lay these things out in a fair, clear, and transparent manner, so that everyone knows the truth.
He didn't want any possibility, perhaps, maybe, or possibly that Shi Qian was innocent.
Shi Qian doesn't care about his reputation, but he does.
As for the people behind these posts spreading rumors, before any investigation could be conducted, they all took the initiative to admit their wrongdoing and issued apology posts.
With that, the matter was settled, and all the rumors against Shi Qian disappeared completely.
Shi Qian didn't feel that there were any major changes; he still went back and forth between the classroom, the cafeteria, and the dormitory every day.
The difference is that Meng Qing suddenly applied for withdrawal from school, and didn't even go back to the dormitory. After sending Shi Qian a text message saying "Remember to eat well", she never contacted him again.
Fu Xiuhan was the same. He had originally planned to take the college entrance examination in Yancheng, but in the end he returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. Before leaving, he gave all the usable things in his dormitory to Shi Qian.
He looked reluctant to leave, but forcibly held Shi Qian's hand and told Shi Qian that he must come to the capital to see him next year.
Since the incident in the office, Shi Wang has started to visit Shi Qian at school more often, bringing her food and other necessities.
Because of the clarification of that matter, Shi Qian was less disgusted with Shi Wang, and their relationship eased considerably. As a result, she stopped refusing the things Shi Wang sent her.
After learning that the things he had given to Shi Qian were no longer being returned, Shi Wang was extremely excited. He somehow obtained Shi Qian's newly opened bank account number and transferred ten million yuan directly to Shi Qian.
Shi Qian was speechless. After turning back, Shi Wang would call again, and after several times, he eventually froze Shi Qian's bank card.
In the end, Shi Qian still accepted Shi Wang's transfer. Shi Wang, perhaps possessed by Fu Xiuhan, acted as if he would die in front of him if he didn't accept it.
Shi Qian did not return to the Shi family during the winter break. Since the college entrance examination was coming up next semester, Shi Qian applied to stay at school to study.
Shi Yan hasn't come to school since the day Shi Wang clarified things.
This suited Shi Qian perfectly. Without Shi Yan causing him trouble, the school became much quieter, and Shi Qian's daily tasks were reduced to attending classes and doing practice problems.
Since the day Shi Wang made his clarification, Shi Yan didn't know what Shi Wang, Shi Jingguo, and Su Kaiyue had talked about, but Su Kaiyue's attitude towards him was no longer as warm as before.
Shi Yan is too ashamed to go back to school. He is afraid that his classmates will point fingers at him. He is no longer the young master of a rich family, but a poor relative who is being helped by others.
The difference was too great for Shi Yan to accept.
He had nowhere else to go besides the Shi family. Su Kaiyue didn't say anything, but she was no longer enthusiastic, so Shi Yan just stayed at the Shi family.
After Shi Yan's biological parents caused a scene at the school, Shi Yan eventually gave them some money and sent them away.
Less than a month later, Gao Shun came again, this time storming into the Shi family's house and causing a huge scene at the entrance of the residential area, making a very unpleasant scene.
It was only then that the fact that Shi Yan had been secretly giving money to Gao Shun was exposed. Su Kaiyue was furious. She had clearly made an agreement with Gao Shun and his wife, but now Gao Shun was turning his back on her and insisting that the Shi family had stolen their precious son.
In the end, Su Kaiyue let Shi Yan decide for himself whether to stay or leave. Shi Yan's relationship with the Shi family had become distant due to school matters, and because his biological parents kept causing trouble, he was too ashamed to stay in the Shi family any longer, so he finally chose to leave.
Su Kaiyue sighed. After all, she had raised Shi Yan for so many years and had developed feelings for him. Before leaving, Shi Yan gave her a large sum of money so that she could live a good life in the future.
Shi Yan's threat of suicide, his seemingly suicidal attitude, finally frightened Gao Shun. After taking the money, Gao Shun dared not enter the city for a long time, fearing that Shi Yan would really abandon them in the future.
Shi Yan applied for a leave of absence from school and went to Beijing to take the art exam, only to return to school when the college entrance exam came around.
The college entrance examination was fast approaching. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the three years of hard work seemed to have just come to an end. The June wind heralded the end of high school life.
In the last semester of his senior year of high school, Shi Qian frantically reduced his sleep time, just to do one more set of practice questions and memorize one more model essay.
Having reached this point in my life, I still refuse to just drift along.
He decided to give it his all in this college entrance examination and leave no regrets.
The college entrance exam results arrived as scheduled, accompanied by classic farewell songs like "Friends for Life."
Shi Qian had good grades, ranking fifth in the school and seventh in the province. He applied to the top university in Beijing and chose the very unpopular mathematics major.
Fu Xiuhan quickly sent a message asking which school Shi Qian wanted to apply to. The two reconnected after the college entrance examination.
Fu Xiuhan said that his phone had been confiscated by his older brother, who said that this year's crackdown on crime meant he couldn't use connections to avoid gossip about the Fu family. He then forced Fu Xiuhan to study diligently, even to the point of hanging himself by his hair and pricking his thigh with an awl.
Fortunately, Fu Xiuhan had good grades and his college entrance exam score was guaranteed to get him into the top two universities in Beijing. He asked Shi Qian about the schools he applied to and then applied to the same management program.
Those classmates who had a good relationship with Shi Yan at No. 1 High School also found out that Shi Yan's art exam results were good, and his academic scores were also decent. He was admitted to the top-ranked music academy in Beijing.
The group will likely meet in the capital city.
Shortly after Shi Qian's results came out, the commercial street he bought last year was included in the city's planning, causing rents to skyrocket. Shi Qian immediately sold it, and his investment increased nearly thirty times.
The shop owners who had previously helped Shi Qian with the handover of his shops learned that the suburban shops they had sold had appreciated significantly and were filled with regret. They joined forces with some other shop owners who were also regretting their decision and hired some thugs to try to threaten Shi Qian and take back his shops.
Fortunately, Shi Qian stayed at Taoyuan Mansion, where the security was top-notch in Yancheng, and these people couldn't even get into the community gate.
Then a gang that was even more ruthless than the gangsters appeared, scaring those who wanted to cause trouble for Shi Qian into retreating into their shells and no longer daring to make a move on him.
At the end of August, Shi Qian, holding her admission notice and accompanied by Shi Wang's nagging, boarded a plane to Beijing alone.
