Fu Xiuhan pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at Yuan Ren who was sitting on the ground after being beaten, and spoke first.
"Are you referring to those rumors Shi Qian made in Yan City before?"
"Cheating? Dating a rich man? Stealing sheet music? Breaking a hand? Bullying classmates? An ingrate who doesn't acknowledge his own parents? Or plastic surgery?"
Yuan Ren was somewhat shocked. Had Fu Xiuhan heard everything he just said? Hadn't he just arrived?
"Didn't I tell you that I also went to high school in Yancheng, in the same class as Shi Qian?"
"The teacher who framed him for cheating and tried to force a confession has been fired."
"Shi Qian's biological parents are alive and well, and his family is probably richer than yours. Is he marrying a sugar daddy? Who is he marrying? His own brother who casually gives him tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"Regarding the sheet music incident, the principal of Yancheng No. 1 Middle School and Chairman Yan of the Beijing Music Association were both present. Are you saying they protected Shi Qian?"
"As for breaking someone's hand out of jealousy... that person was injured in the school infirmary. When he was injured, Shi Qian was still chatting with the president of the music association in the music room. What, did he use his clone to go and beat someone up?"
"The claim of bullying classmates is utter nonsense. If someone bullies him, is it wrong for him to retaliate in kind?"
"Also, if other people's parents come looking for trouble and try to extort money from him, why should he admit to it?"
"Finally, you said he had plastic surgery. Do you believe that if you've seen him in person?"
With each word Fu Xiuhan spoke, Yuan Ren felt a chill in his heart. He knew nothing about Shi Qian's affairs in Yan City; he had only heard it from Shi Yan and had no idea that these were all rumors.
In addition, he had just seen Shi Qian with his own eyes, and there was not a trace of plastic surgery on her face.
"You said my relationship with Shi Qian was ambiguous, and that he was relentlessly pursuing me?"
"Then you're wrong. It was me who relentlessly pursued him."
"But you did say one thing right: I am indeed captivated by him."
"But it wasn't through any dirty tricks. Shi Qian is good-looking, academically excellent, well-behaved, and has a good character. I'm not the only one who's captivated by her."
"If he agrees, I'd be willing to sell myself to him. I'm still working hard to win someone over, so don't ruin my reputation."
As soon as Fu Xiuhan finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. Fu Xiuhan had a great reputation in the capital. He was aloof and unapproachable. Who could afford to bribe the young master of the Fu family to speak for someone?
Everyone knew that Fu Xiuhan would never lie.
Some insiders have indeed heard that Fu Xiuhan went to Yancheng for high school, which greatly increases the credibility of Fu Xiuhan's words.
Fu Xiuhan has adopted a very humble attitude, even admitting that he is pursuing Shi Qian. Who would still believe that Shi Qian and he have any improper relationship?
Not to mention sleeping with the top gossip columnist, that's probably just a rumor.
The crowd looked at Shi Qian with more admiration. Even the young master of the Fu family couldn't catch up with him. He was amazing.
Yuan Ren realized he had trusted the wrong person and was filled with regret. Now he had also offended Fu Xiuhan and Yan Ge, and his life was in utter ruin.
"I was wrong... I only heard it from others..."
He looked at Shi Qian with pleading eyes, hoping that the person he had slandered would be kind-hearted and say something to persuade Fu Xiuhan and Yan Ge not to pursue the matter any further.
Shi Qian ignored him completely, letting the person spreading the rumors bear the consequences.
Yan Ge was also stunned. He hadn't expected Shi Qian to have gone through so much in Yan City, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.
But he also heard his grandfather's name. His grandfather had been to Yan City? And knew Shi Qian? How come he didn't know?
Yan Ge moved closer to Shi Qian and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Chairman Yan?"
Shi Qian immediately became wary. "I don't know him. Chairman Yan only said a few words to me. We're not close."
After seeing that Fu Xiuhan had finished explaining, Guan Yi also stepped forward to clarify things for Shi Qian.
“We are a few students from the lab. Shi Qian entered the Peking University Mathematics Lab through the normal procedure. He got a perfect score on the assessment, breaking our lab’s record, and entered as the top student.”
"Shi Qian is a student of the dean's team. He was personally admitted by the dean, so there is no question of cheating."
"In addition, since this student is questioning the validity of the college entrance examination results, I suggest that he report it to the education bureau to avoid making guesses here."
Yuan Ren's face burned red. He had lost face here today and had no appetite. He could only apologize to Shi Qian several times before slinking away.
Fu Xiuhan originally wanted to have Shi Yan come over for a confrontation, but he found that Shi Yan, who had been following them just moments before, had slipped away at some point, so he had no choice but to give up.
Shi Qian didn't expect that these rumors, which had been clarified for so long, would suddenly resurface in the capital. She knew without a doubt that it was Shi Yan who did it.
He had previously taken the "innocent will clear themselves" approach, but Shi Yan was really annoying. He wanted to grab Shi Yan and confront him on the spot, but as soon as they made eye contact, Shi Yan ran away.
Fu Xiuhan had already said what he wanted to say.
It was Guan Yi's turn, and the group went straight into the restaurant to eat. Fu Xiuhan and Yan Ge also ate at two seats with them.
"I never expected something like this to happen today. Who spread this rumor? It's so malicious."
"But thank goodness you came, otherwise we would have had to beat that guy into silence."
Everyone was easy to get along with, and Fu Xiuhan and Yan Ge were very approachable. The meal was very pleasant, and Shi Qian also expressed her gratitude to everyone.
When they came out, Zhong Ran and Lu Yibai had to go back to the lab. Guan Yi didn't live on campus and was on a different path from them. In the end, only Fu Xiuhan, Yan Ge, and Shi Qian returned to their dorm.
Yan Ge learned from Fu Xiuhan that the person who targeted Shi Qian was named Shi Yan. He didn't know why he could suddenly hear that person's thoughts today, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Even if it was a reminder from heaven, he didn't think he would do something so stupid.
However, he had never heard that his grandfather knew Shi Qian before; he would have to ask him about it later.
The three walked along the campus path back to their dormitory. Shi Yan was not there, and Fu Xiuhan resumed his taunts towards Yan Ge.
"How come you, a top celebrity, have so much free time? Why don't you go back to your own place? Aren't you afraid of disturbing your roommates by staying in the dorm?"
"I didn't see any impact on my roommate, but I did see it affecting your pursuit of someone."
Although Shi Qian mentioned during dinner that Fu Xiuhan was just joking about pursuing him and was only clarifying things for him, Yan Ge genuinely felt that Fu Xiuhan liked Shi Qian, but Shi Qian didn't reciprocate his feelings.
It's so annoying. She wants to be in a relationship as soon as she enters college. Fu Xiuhan is the one with a love-obsessed mind.
The group walked down to the dormitory building and found someone standing at the entrance. Upon seeing Shi Qian, the person walked directly towards him.
Fu Xiuhan recognized her; it was Meng Qing, the new heir of the Meng family, who had been with him at Yancheng No. 1 High School a year ago.
Fu Xiuhan roughly guessed why Meng Qing had come; he and Yan Ge had been called home yesterday to discuss Meng Qing's matter.
Shi Qian was also somewhat surprised. He and Meng Qing hadn't seen each other for a year, and this was their first meeting since arriving in the capital. Meng Qing had changed more than he had imagined, and her demeanor had matured considerably.
Meng Qing walked up to Shi Qian and stopped.
"Long time no see, Shi Qian."
