Poor relatives? What poor relatives?
Now everyone thinks Shi Qian is just a poor relative the Shi family brought from the countryside to keep their son company, and even wearing designer clothes gets him criticized for showing off.
[Given how Shi Qian treated me before, everyone thinks he's ungrateful and ungrateful, taking advantage of the Shi family's son even after being taken in by them.]
I could spread rumors as much as I wanted, and Shi Qian wouldn't dare say anything.
At the time, Shi Qian wanted to return to school and agreed to Su Kaiyue's request that no one know he was the Shi family's biological son.
[Su Kaiyue probably feels ashamed. And rightly so; who wouldn't feel ashamed to have such a useless son?]
Why can't others know that Shi Qian is the Shi family's biological son? What's going on here?
Shi Wang had been away from home for too long and was unaware of many things. Listening to Shi Yan's heartfelt words, he felt more and more aggrieved for Shi Qian.
Having been absent from the role of the eldest brother for so many years, he wants to seek justice for his younger brother.
Shi Wang then asked, "Shi Yan, you said Shi Qian stole your sheet music. Is that true? Who was in the music room at the time? Call them over and clarify things properly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
How could Shi Yan dare to say who was in the music room? He didn't want to help Shi Qian clear things up, but he couldn't not answer in front of Shi Wang and Sun Hongru.
[I can't say. If I do, the principal will be there too. Shi Wang and the principal are so close, he might ask the principal to clear Shi Qian's name.]
"No, Shi Qian didn't steal it..."
Shi Yan could only answer in a low voice, his tone still full of uncertainty, hoping that Shi Wang could understand what he meant.
It turned out that Principal Xu was also there. Shi Wang decided to go out later to find out the whole story and clear things up for Shi Qian no matter what. He didn't want Shi Qian to be misunderstood again.
"How did you hurt your hand? Did Shi Qian hit you?"
Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Why did Shi Wang suddenly ask this?
[I definitely can't say I injured myself in the infirmary, otherwise I can't pin the blame on Shi Qian.]
"I don't quite remember, it was around the time I got it in the music room..."
"I was so agitated because the sheet music was missing that I didn't see it clearly..."
Shi Wang confirmed Shi Yan's true thoughts, "Okay, let's clarify here in front of Teacher Sun that Shi Qian did not steal the sheet music, nor did he push or hit anyone, so that Teacher Sun will not believe the rumors and slander the student."
"Furthermore, I will privately investigate the specifics of what happened in the music room. If it is confirmed to be a misunderstanding, then it will definitely need to be clarified. My younger brother, Shi Qian, studies here, and he cannot be slandered for no reason."
Shi Wang's tone was cold, which chilled Sun Hongru to the bone. How could things not be as she had expected? Was Shi Wang standing up for Shi Qian now, disregarding his own younger brother, Shi Yan?
Even if it's just for show, isn't this going too far?
What did Shi Qian lose? Just a bit of reputation.
But what about Shi Yan? He really did injure his hand, lost the opportunity to perform, and missed the music association's assessment.
Comparing the two, isn't Shi Yan's matter more important?
Why was Shi Wang still showing such favoritism? Sun Hongru was a little confused. She had originally called Shi Wang over today to leave a good impression, but now it seemed she had messed it up.
It was all Shi Qian's fault that Shi Wang had a bad impression of her!
"Teacher Sun, the cheating issue has been clarified. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Shi Wang stood up, patted Shi Qian on the shoulder, and gestured for Shi Qian to go out together. There was no need for Shi Qian to stay here and be slandered by Sun Hongru, or suffer unnecessary anger.
Seeing the change in Shi Wang's attitude towards Shi Qian, Shi Yan felt somewhat resentful. Shi Wang used to like him the most, so why was he so indifferent to him today?
But he couldn't ask any questions, so he could only say "goodbye" to Sun Hongru and follow Shi Wang out.
Just as Shi Wang was about to reach the door, Sun Hongru suddenly shouted, "Wait! You don't know yet, do you? Shi Qian's biological parents have come from the countryside. This poor relative that your Shi family took in doesn't even recognize his own parents and even beats and kicks them!"
“This is absolutely not slander or fabrication. The video is all over the school forum. Your Shi family has been kind enough to raise Shi Qian for so many years, only to raise such an ungrateful wretch!”
"You're bullying the Shi family's own son, letting him enjoy a life of luxury in the city, disowning his own parents, and ignoring his brothers and sisters. Does the Shi family still want to keep him around like this?!"
"Don't you rich people love your reputation the most? Aren't you afraid that if this gets out, you'll become the laughing stock of Yan City!"
Sun Hongru knew that after this incident, Shi Wang's impression of her would plummet, and her dream of marrying into the Shi family would be shattered.
It's all Shi Qian's fault. Since Shi Qian has harmed her so much, she won't let Shi Qian get away with it!
Yes! She still has a trump card! I saw a video a few days ago! Shi Qian refused to acknowledge her biological parents. How could such an ingrate be tolerated by a wealthy family like the Shi family!
Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, it will damage the Shi family's reputation?
Shi Wang froze upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Sun Hongru, a teacher at a top-tier high school, to say something like that.
This person is targeting Shi Qian like this. What kind of miserable life did Shi Qian live before?
When Shi Yan heard Sun Hongru's shout, he knew it was all over.
Shi Wang was unaware of the ambiguous identities of the two at school, and Su Kaiyue could not possibly tell Shi Wang that Shi Qian should not reveal at school that he was the son of the Shi family.
Given that Shi Wang doesn't come to school often, it's impossible for him to know.
That's why Shi Yan dared to spread rumors and obscure the facts, because he was certain that no one in the Shi family would find out. Although Shi Wang usually showed that he valued him more and disliked Shi Qian, Shi Yan couldn't be sure how Shi Wang would handle such an ambiguous situation.
Unlike Su Kaiyue, Shi Wang is a vain person who feels ashamed to have a son who knows nothing and doesn't want to admit it to outsiders, fearing that others will point fingers at him.
No, Shi Wang doesn't like Shi Qian. Shi Wang dislikes Shi Qian because Shi Qian has a bad personality, lies all the time, and never learns his lesson. Shi Wang is disappointed in Shi Qian, not because he doesn't want to acknowledge this younger brother at all.
When Shi Yan messaged Shi Wang to ask if he could come, he thought that Shi Wang hadn't reacted when Shi Qian said he was severing ties, so he assumed Shi Wang didn't care.
But just now, every word Shi Wang said was in defense of Shi Qian. How could he be indifferent? He clearly still cares about Shi Qian a lot!
It was right after class, and a lot of people had gathered outside the office. As soon as Shi Yan found out about Shi Qian's cheating, he immediately told the gossip in the grade, and the news spread like wildfire.
Therefore, a lot of people gathered outside to watch the spectacle. Everyone knew that Sun Hongru had a bad temper, and Shi Qian actually dared to cheat on her subject, so there was bound to be a good show to watch.
Shi Yan prayed silently, begging Shi Wang not to clarify, otherwise the fact that he wasn't the Shi family's biological son would soon be exposed at school.
Shi Wang naturally heard Shi Yan's inner monologue, but Shi Yan went too far; the fact that Shi Qian was his younger brother was undeniable.
"Teacher Sun, you're wrong. Where did Shi Qian come from, with such rural biological parents? He's my younger brother, born of the same father and mother, the Shi family's own son. Are you trying to spread rumors again that my brother is an ingrate?"
