Chapter 17 The infatuated female supporting character was seduced by him.
Chapter 17
Qin Yan remained unmoved: "Are you finished?"
Xie Lin stared intently at Qin Yan, perhaps more distressed by her indifference, and just kept looking at her without blinking.
Qin Yan closed the door in front of Xie Lin.
Xie Lin looked at the closed door and suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He leaned against the wall by the door, arms crossed, looking up at the ceiling, exuding an air of decadence.
Qi Yu, hiding around the corner, witnessed the entire event.
It's a bit of a shame, though, that we were too far away to hear what they were saying.
She arrived at just the right time, right on the front lines of the gossip.
She wouldn't have seen it if she had arrived even a moment later.
So she was really curious about why Xie Lin had come to find Qin Yan.
Judging from his dejected appearance, he looks just like someone who has been rejected after confessing their love.
However, Xie Lin, with his aloof and disdainful personality, would never confess his feelings.
He must have gone to cause trouble for Qin Yan again.
Xie Lin didn't leave, and Qi Yu didn't dare to step forward either.
She was a coward and didn't dare to confront Xie Lin head-on.
Besides, Xie Lin didn't seem to be in a good mood right now, so she didn't want to provoke him at this time.
Qi Yu walked a little further away and called Qin Yan: "Yan Yan, I saw Xie Lin still standing at your door. What happened? Did he cause you trouble again?"
Qin Yan recalled what had just happened and confirmed, "Yes, he did come looking for trouble again."
Qi Yu hurriedly asked, "What's he here for?"
Qin Yan said calmly, "He's probably just being shameless. He got half-drunk and came to confess his feelings to me."
Qi Yu suddenly realized: "Oh, so he wanted to confess his feelings to you..."
Two seconds later, her jaw dropped: "What did you say?!"
Did Xie Lin confess his feelings to Qin Yan?
What?
Was she hallucinating?
Wait, why did this feeling come so suddenly?
She didn't understand.
Qi Yu whispered into the microphone, "But Xie Lin is still at your door, he hasn't left yet."
She tiptoed to the corner and peeked out: "Still leaning against the wall, lost in thought."
Listless and dispirited.
It seems he suffered a great deal of emotional trauma; I wonder what Yanyan said to him.
Qi Yu figured Xie Lin probably wouldn't leave anytime soon, so she didn't plan to wait there any longer: "I'm going back to my room now, see you tomorrow morning."
She walked to the elevator, and just then the elevator arrived. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Qin Ye alone inside, holding a bottle of drink.
Perhaps because he and Qin Yan were friends, Qin Ye smiled gently and nodded in greeting when he saw her.
Qi Yu was flattered and overwhelmed; she couldn't quite handle the sudden warmth and friendliness from this aloof beauty.
Just as I was about to step inside, Qin Ye came out first.
Qi Yu belatedly realized that this floor was the presidential suite.
There are only two sets.
Qi Yu: !
She wasn't in a hurry to go downstairs anymore, and turned around to tiptoe after Qin Ye.
Qin Ye indeed saw Xie Lin still standing against the wall.
Seeing Qi Yu at the elevator entrance, he immediately realized that this was Qin Yan's room.
A cold smile crept across his lips as he strode up to Xie Lin, his eyes icy as he looked down at Xie Lin, who seemed oblivious to his presence.
"Stalker?"
The familiar, unpleasant voice reached his ears, and Xie Lin's disappointment was overshadowed by the fighting spirit ignited by the provocation.
He tilted his head back, his face revealing the familiar arrogant expression of the past: "None of your business."
“You were lurking around my fiancée’s door, I have reason to suspect you have ulterior motives.”
Qin Ye coldly took out his phone: "How about I call the police right now to verify what you're doing here?"
"Qin Ye, are you sick in the head?"
Xie Lin straightened his back and took a few steps forward, almost touching Xie Lin. The two were about the same height, and their auras were extremely strong. There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and it felt like they would start fighting at any moment.
Qi Yu gripped her phone tightly in excitement, forgetting to inform others.
Qin Ye's tone was calm, yet it carried a menacing air that commanded respect: "I hope some people will wake up and stop trying to lay a finger on someone else's fiancée."
Xie Lin laughed: "Qin Ye, are you stupid? You've been tricked and you don't even know it."
"Qin Yan has liked me for so long, do you think it's possible for her to forget me so easily?"
Xie Lin gritted his teeth: "You're just trying to provoke me. You're just a tool."
"Qin Yan doesn't like you at all."
Looking at the furious Xie Lin, Qin Ye calmly said, "So what?"
"Does it matter whether she likes me or not, as long as she's willing to stay by my side?"
Qin Ye sneered, "As for you, what gives you the right to speak to me here?"
"A reckless stalker?"
Qin Ye's voice grew softer and softer, revealing undisguised contempt: "Still that pervert who's been lurking outside the girls' rooms?"
"you!"
Xie Lin clenched his fists, and the alcohol had mostly worn off.
The tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Qin Yan saw Xie Lin, whose fist was already raised, and—
One second he looked at Qin Ye with disdain and contempt, the next he put on a gentle and warm expression and said, "Fiancée."
Qin Yan didn't look at Xie Lin, but said to Qin Ye, "I'm going to sleep, it's a bit noisy."
Qin Ye looked apologetic: "It's my fault."
Xie Lin looked at Qin Yan, who hadn't even glanced at him the whole time, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
He still couldn't believe that Qin Yan no longer liked him.
He wanted to say something, but Qin Yan didn't give him the chance and closed the door again.
Qin Ye glanced at Xie Lin, whose face was filled with resentment and dejection.
He suddenly felt bored and didn't want to get entangled with Xie Lin anymore, so he turned around and went back to his room.
Xie Lin was left alone, staring blankly at the tightly closed door.
Still huddled in the corner, watching with great interest, Qi Yu belatedly realized that she hadn't taken any photos.
Not only did she not record a video, she even forgot to take a picture. How infuriating!
Before Xie Lin could find her, Qi Yu quickly slipped away.
*
Qin Yan had already forgotten about Zhang Min.
There has been no news about her since she was beaten and hospitalized.
She was already used to being slandered, but since she had nothing else to do, she went to the forum to take a look.
Since I'd already looked it up, I decided to do some research as well.
The investigation revealed that Zhang Min was behind all the dirty tricks.
It seems that life in the hospital is quite boring, so she tries everything she can to find some fun.
However, this kind of awkward criticism seems rather low-level.
Apart from the trolls and haters, everyone else is quite rational and doesn't blindly follow suit.
I scrolled to the very back of the comments and found that someone had posted a very low-key video.
It wasn't long, but it captured the entire process of her riding a wave.
The angle of the video is similar to the one posted by the original poster, but it's clearly not filmed by the same person.
Most people don't bother to scroll to the last page when replying, so many people only see the video after they've already replied.
[Huh? Is this the full version of the video the original poster posted?]
[This is much clearer. In the video posted by the original poster, I was a little doubtful whether that person was Qin Yan, since she was quite far away and it was only a few seconds long to make it clear.]
[The angle is the same as the original poster's video. This video seems to be a zoom-in shot; I compared them and they were probably filmed at the same time. Both the angle of the people and the shape of the waves are almost identical.]
[Qin Yan clearly knows how to surf! Look at those smooth movements, her core is super stable!]
I apologize. I only saw this video after I finished venting my anger. I was petty.
Qin Yan also finished watching the video.
The photo was taken from this angle, so it's highly likely that it was taken by either Qin Ye or Wang Yue.
Even though she had clearly said she didn't need his help, she still quietly clarified things for her.
Qin Yan left the forum.
The system has been quite sluggish lately, with no tasks being assigned and only occasional trivial notifications.
She's completely deviating from the plot, and the male lead is practically falling apart, yet she still hasn't been deported.
She tried to contact the system herself, but received no response.
Something just doesn't feel right.
This problem cannot be solved for the time being, so Qin Yan decided to put it aside for now.
Zhang Min's problem can be solved first.
Given Zhang Min's arrogant nature, fondness for men, lack of focus on her studies, and lax attitude towards learning, Qin Yan felt that she still needed to address the root cause and save the fallen girl.
After thinking for a while, she posted a job ad on an unknown platform: High-salary hiring of handsome male high school teachers.
Task difficulty: Very easy.
After she finished dealing with the matter, she found that Qin Ye had sent her a message.
-Shall we have lunch together tomorrow morning?
Qin Yan thought about it and did not refuse.
- Okay, I'll go to the gym at six, see you at the cafeteria at eight.
Qin Ye seemed to have been playing on his phone the whole time, but he replied very quickly.
- I'll go with you at six tomorrow morning.
-Anything works.
Goodnight, my fiancée.
Qin Yan originally planned to politely reply with "goodnight" to end the chat.
But thinking about it, he always stood firmly by her side whenever she was caught in public opinion.
To be honest, they had no classmate ties, no friendships, only business dealings between families.
He never doubted her, and disregarded other people's opinions, calmly interacting with her despite her less-than-stellar reputation, all while bearing the title of Qin Yan's fiancé.
Qin Yan thought for a moment and decided to add a few more words.
Goodnight, fiancé.
Qin Ye sat cross-legged on the bed. Upon seeing these five words, he seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.
A few seconds later, a surge of heat erupted from his body, making his face burn.
Even the hands holding the phone were sweaty.
Oh no, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
Wang Yue was engrossed in a game when Qin Ye called.
Wang Yue turned on speakerphone: "Put it on."
"Want to watch a horror movie?"
Wang Yue checked the time: "Now?"
"Yes, it's late at night and the atmosphere is just right."
The team fight ended, and the game was won.
Wang Yue quit the game: "So sudden? Don't you usually not watch this stuff?"
Qin Ye was silent for a moment: "I need to calm down."
Wang Yue became interested: "What's wrong?"
My fiancée has accepted me.
"..."
"She said goodnight to me."
"..."
"She still calls me her fiancé."
"..."
Wang Yue reopened the game with a blank expression.
Don't disturb his love-struck moments while he's conquering the world.
*
The wake-up call service woke Qin Yan up on time.
After washing up and changing into her workout clothes, she stepped out of her room at 5:50.
Then I met Qin Ye in the corridor, who had been waiting for who knows how long.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Ye turned around and greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, fiancée."
He was full of energy and showed no signs of insomnia.
Qin Yan was somewhat surprised: "You've been waiting for a long time?"
She originally intended to meet at the gym.
"No, I just came out of my room too."
I only waited for twenty minutes, but I was worried that my fiancée would get up too early.
There shouldn't be many people in the gym in the morning.
In addition, this is a vacation destination, and most people would rarely choose to maintain their fitness routine while on vacation.
Qin Yan asked Qin Ye in the elevator, "Do you work out often?"
Qin Ye replied modestly, "Occasionally."
When the two of them stepped into the gym, they were startled by the large number of middle-aged people inside.
Qin Yan never expected that there would be so many elderly people in a resort that was not yet fully open to the public.
Still at this time.
However, someone who comes to the gym at this time must go quite often.
The fact that men in their forties and fifties can still maintain a good physique is inseparable from their self-discipline.
She even saw Xie Lin, who looked reluctant and as if he had been dragged there by his elderly father.
As if sensing something, Xie Lin looked over and met Qin Yan's gaze, which she hadn't yet looked away from.
Qin Yan looked away.
Xie Lin saw Qin Ye beside her, and his eyes dimmed.
Qin Ye recognized many people and turned to Qin Yan, saying, "I'll go say hello to a few of our elders who are quite familiar with our family."
Qin Yan nodded; there were several elders she needed to greet.
After greeting everyone, she stretched for a while, planning to jog on the treadmill for a few minutes before working out with the equipment.
Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to work out her chest muscles today.
Xie Lin had been keeping an eye on Qin Yan.
He would walk around and rest after completing a set of bench presses, holding 15KG dumbbells.
Seeing Qin Yan get off the treadmill, he quickly returned to his original position and continued training.
They worked even harder and to a higher standard than before.
But Qin Yan didn't pay any attention to him and went straight to the shelf to choose dumbbells.
Since all the barbells were taken, I had to settle for dumbbells instead.
The dumbbells on the shelf didn't seem to have very high weights.
After Xie Lin struggled to finish this set, his arms were sore.
His first instinct was to look for Qin Yan, only to find her adjusting the dumbbell bench.
Qin Yan adjusted the dumbbell bench with great skill, clearly indicating she was no novice.
Then he watched as Qin Yan sat down, one dumbbell in each hand.
But something seems off.
That dumbbell looks so thick.
Out of curiosity, Xie Lin walked closer and then saw the numbers engraved on the dumbbell.
—30KG.
Xie Lin: "..."
This woman is actually doing incline exercises with 30kg dumbbells.
Xie Lin felt like he was cracking open.
Because Qin Yan held the 30KG dumbbell on one side without any difficulty, and even did it very easily.
It was as if she was lifting not iron, but air.
A pretty girl appearing at the gym might attract the attention of some people.
But if someone who can easily lift heavy weights appears in the gym, regardless of gender, they will attract everyone's attention.
Before long, everyone in the gym gathered around Qin Yan, marveling at her formidable strength.
After Qin Yan finished a set of twelve repetitions, she put down the dumbbells and found herself surrounded by a group of people.
"……Um?"
"This girl is amazing. She looks so thin and weak, but I didn't expect her to be able to lift a 30kg dumbbell. I can't even lift one."
"I thought I was seeing things, is it really 30KG?"
"Are young girls these days obsessed with weightlifting? Girl, how long have you been working out?"
"The younger generation is truly formidable. I'm still too old; I don't dare to increase the weight anymore."
Amidst the surrounding chatter, Qin Yan could only smile and respond to the compliments.
The reason she chose 30KG dumbbells was simply due to limited resources.
Because the heaviest dumbbells in the gym are only 30KG, there aren't any heavier ones.
Xie Lin had originally wanted to show off his masculine strength and beauty in front of Qin Yan, but now he stood outside the crowd without saying a word.
He had begun to believe some of the rumors that had circulated at the school.
I heard that Qin Yan beat up three girls so badly that they ended up in the hospital.
It seems it's not fake.
That punch would probably have taken half his life.
He recalled his experience of being thrashed 15-0 in a beach volleyball game.
Every blow was deliberate, not an accident.
She is truly ruthless.
Standing to the side, Qin Ye said somewhat shyly, "I'll have to trouble my fiancée to protect me from now on."
Xie Lin rolled his eyes.
He looked down on a weak, gigolo like Qin Ye.
What kind of man needs a woman to protect him?
Xie Lin's feelings were complicated.
Not only was she in a bad mood, but her own father was also praising her in her ear: "This is the Qin family's daughter? She's unexpectedly outstanding."
"I heard he got first place in the grade at the final exam? I can't stand Old Qin's smug look. It's my fault, my son really is disappointing." He then gave Xie Lin a disdainful look.
Xie Lin wanted to say that she almost became his daughter-in-law, but remembering Qin Yan's current attitude, he swallowed his words.
He looked at Qin Yan, only to find Qin Ye looking at him with a half-smile.
Xie Lin's eyelids were twitched.
The petty person gains power.
He really wanted to tear off Qin Ye's mask and throw him in front of Qin Yan so she could see Qin Ye's true colors.
After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed and continued their exercise.
Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Being surrounded by onlookers was unexpected.
Qin Ye remained standing beside her.
Qin Yan looked up: "What?"
"Some of my movements aren't quite right, so I hope my fiancée can give me some pointers."
His fiancée looks very professional; no wonder she's his fiancée.
His excellence made him proud.
Qin Ye appeared humble and sincere. Considering that the other party was indeed just an ordinary high school student, Qin Yan nodded: "Okay, you and I will practice the same movements. I will do one set and you will do another set."
Qin Ye grinned: "Okay."
Qin Ye watched Qin Yan perform the movements with focused concentration and seriousness.
This weight is a bit light for Qin Yan, but she can still practice with it.
Without even breaking a sweat, Qin Yan finished fifteen repetitions, put down the dumbbells, got off the dumbbell bench, and said to Qin Ye, "Come on."
Qin Ye sat down, and Qin Yan handed him a 16KG dumbbell: "Try this weight."
Qin Ye took it and raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it a bit heavy?"
"It's okay, I'll help you if you can't lift it."
Qin Ye smiled and said, "Okay."
Sixteen kilograms is indeed a little strenuous for a high school boy who doesn't work out very often.
The first few were relatively easy, but after doing a few more, my arms felt a bit weak.
Qin Yan has indeed been very responsible in fulfilling her promise to guide Qin Ye.
He corrected Qin Ye's slightly distorted movements at any time and even touched the spot on his chest where he was exerting force.
Xie Lin, with his sharp eyes, noticed the intimate behavior between the two. He gripped the lever of the butterfly machine tightly. He had initially found it a bit difficult to squeeze his chest, but after seeing their interaction, he became more determined and his strength increased significantly.
Qin Ye was noticeably weaker in the second set than in the first.
After lifting it up for the eighth time, he felt his expression was about to break down.
"fiancée."
He spoke with some difficulty, as if pleading for help.
Two hands supported his elbows.
"Nine." A soft female voice sounded in my ear.
Xie Lin narrowed his eyes from a distance.
"ten."
Xie Lin got off the butterfly machine, still annoyed, and stretched his arms.
"Eleven, keep going, just do one more."
Xie Lin gulped down his water, but his gaze remained fixed on Qin Yan.
"Twelve." Qin Yan smiled and took the dumbbell from Qin Ye's hand. "You did a great job."
Qin Ye stood up: "It's thanks to my fiancée's excellent guidance."
Qin Yan picked up her 30KG dumbbells again and sat on the dumbbell bench.
Qin Ye stepped over the crowd and tilted his head to look at Xie Lin, who was radiating murderous intent.
He raised the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"My fiancée."

Zhang Min was eating breakfast while watching a drama when her mother nagged her: "You can't even eat breakfast properly! Put down your phone and finish your meal before you start watching!"
Zhang Min pursed her lips, reluctantly put down her phone, and started poking around in her plate with her fork, clearly not taking breakfast seriously.
Mrs. Zhang added, "The homeroom teacher sent me a message because you missed the final exam and you need to take a make-up exam with the students who failed."
Zhang Min immediately protested, "I don't want to!"
Mrs. Zhang glared at her: "No, no, no, you don't want anything, do you think you can just refuse it? What am I spending so much money to send you to school for?"
Zhang Min rolled her eyes and repeated what Madam Zhang often admonished her with: "Study hard and expand your network."
Mrs. Zhang said irritably, "Good to know. School tutoring isn't effective, so I found you a private tutor. I heard from others that this teacher can teach all subjects and is very capable. I arranged for him to come today. You must study diligently at home until the make-up exam."
Zhang Min frowned: "It's just a makeup exam. I can study at home by myself. Why do I need a tutor?"
Madam Zhang knew exactly what her daughter was capable of, and sneered, "Don't even think about playing dirty tricks. We can't let the Zhang family lose face because of you."
Zhang Min inwardly complained that the Zhang family had long since lost face because of all sorts of low-class things.
"Madam, there is a man outside who claims to be applying for a tutor position." The butler approached Madam Zhang respectfully.
Madam Zhang beamed with joy: "Please let him in."
She glanced at Zhang Min, who hadn't finished her breakfast but was preparing to slip away: "Stop, come here and see the teacher."
Zhang Min pulled her leg back, grimaced, and helplessly followed Zhang Min to the hall.
Then she saw a man nearly 1.9 meters tall standing in the living room, backlit by the light.
A white shirt paired with black suit pants is a very ordinary business outfit, yet it perfectly outlines a man's figure: broad shoulders, narrow back, slender waist, and long legs.
"Madam," the man said politely, his gold-rimmed glasses flashing white as he lowered his head.
The slightly open neckline revealed glimpses of her collarbone.
"Oh, teacher, you've come all this way, it must be tiring," Mrs. Zhang greeted warmly. She never expected that he would be even more handsome in person than in the photos. When someone is so pleasing to the eye, you can't help but treat them better. "Please sit down and have some tea."
The man smiled and politely declined, "Thank you, Madam, but the teaching situation is urgent, and there is not much time left before the make-up exam. Your daughter has missed some lessons due to her injury and hospitalization, so I'm afraid we need to catch up on her studies."
Madam Zhang repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory."
She nudged Zhang Min, who was staring blankly at the man, and said, "How can you be so rude? Don't you even greet your teacher?"
Zhang Min snapped out of her daze, blushing with embarrassment at her blunder. She lowered her head and stammered, "Teacher..."
The man nodded and asked Mrs. Zhang, "Where would be more convenient for teaching? The living room or the dining room?"
Given that some parents are concerned about tutors spending time alone with their children, fearing that something irreparable might happen, they request that teaching take place within their sight so that they can monitor the situation.
Zhang Min immediately answered, "The study! Let's study in the study! I can concentrate better there!"
Madam Zhang was well aware of her daughter's ulterior motives; it was clear she was bewitched by beauty, after all, everyone has a certain yearning for beauty.
She couldn't help but remind him: "You must listen carefully to the teacher's lectures, and be more attentive. Don't spend your days thinking about random things."
Zhang Min stuck out her tongue: "Okay."
Then she warmly invited the tutor, who looked remarkably ascetic, "Teacher, this way, I'll take you upstairs."
The man nodded, his glasses gleaming silver in the sunlight: "Then I'll trouble you."

It's trending at number one on the hot search list.
#Female high school student sexually assaults tutor#
Content: The tutor reportedly warned the girl multiple times about her inappropriate behavior and repeatedly expressed to the girl's mother (the employer) the need to change the tutoring location, such as to a public area like the living room or dining room. The tutor also stated that she felt uncomfortable with the girl's overly intimate behavior. The employer dismissed these concerns, claiming that her daughter was simply outgoing and uninhibited, and did not reprimand or discipline her. The tutor has now terminated her employment.
Video attached.
I thought I misread the title, but after clicking in, well, my eyes are fine.
The world is going to the dogs; even good-looking boys need to take good care of themselves.
Are girls these days so desperate? They're so shameless, they even go after teachers.
The teacher was visibly resistant, backing away again and again, but how could this woman be so shameless as to touch her? She touched her face, her Adam's apple, and even placed her palm on her chest. Who gave her the audacity?
[Huh? Isn't that the daughter of the CEO of that company?]
This girl is a bully at school; she's no good.
Don't just make things up; always provide evidence.
[Let's keep things separate. Although this girl sexually harassed the teacher, you can't accuse her of bullying without evidence. Please provide proof before making false accusations.]
[A grown man being molested by a minor? You guys are stupid, but I'm not. If he didn't want it, would he let a girl touch him like that?]
[The news report makes it very clear: the teacher reported the problem multiple times, but the employer ignored it. After all, he was just an employee, and we live in a civilized society. He couldn't just punch the girl in the head, could he? You keyboard warriors would have smashed your keyboards to pieces by now. Besides, she's already quit.]
[Switch the gender, and the comments exceed 10,000.]
Zhang Min was still basking in the joy of having done quite well in her makeup exam.
This tutor is perfect in every way I admire. Not only is he handsome, but he also provides excellent tutoring. He has no weaknesses in any of the many subjects he teaches, and he knows everything I ask.
Both visually appealing and technically capable.
Next semester, I'll have to ask my mom to continue paying for it. She might even be able to skip school and just stay home for tutoring.
She had no idea that she was being attacked online, with people even doxxing her and spreading her information recklessly online.
Until she received a constant stream of harassing phone calls and countless abusive text messages.
Words like "vulgar," "slutty," and "shameless" terrified her; she had no idea what she had done to deserve such vile language.
She couldn't block all the calls; they were always from different numbers. Eventually, she got so annoyed by the sheer number of calls that she turned on airplane mode.
The red dot on her WeChat contacts annoyed her.
Without a doubt, he added her as a friend and started insulting her.
Her WeChat messages exploded. She had been rejecting calls from unknown numbers and hadn't had time to check them. Normally, she wouldn't have so many unread messages, since neither large nor small groups display the number of unread messages anymore.
Something must have happened.
Even though I can't see the latest news, I still look at the previous records.
The fact that the images and links wouldn't open was making her a little annoyed.
After reading everyone's chat history, she roughly understood what had happened.
But how could that be?
The teacher was clearly very gentle, and there was no indication that he was unwilling to be forced.
But isn't that... playing hard to get?
Although the teacher didn't say it explicitly, she could clearly tell that the teacher tacitly approved.
He might have been evasive because of his status, but when she touched him, the teacher smiled with a genuinely helpless yet gentle expression.
How could it be coercion? She didn't coerce anyone.
The teacher's face showed absolutely no sign of reluctance!
Zhang Min was panicked and didn't understand why the rumors were spreading like this.
How come there's video footage? She had no idea there was a security camera installed in the study.
She couldn't resist turning off airplane mode and clicking on the news link.
After reading it, my face turned green.
The teacher actually hates me so much.
How could that be...
impossible!
Countless calls came in again. Zhang Min threw her phone to the ground, her face contorted in rage.
"How could a teacher... dislike me..."
Not only Zhang Min was harassed, but Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were also greeted by relatives and friends.
Mrs. Zhang could roughly guess what was going on, but Mr. Zhang was completely baffled. He was on a business trip abroad and was jet-lagged. He was about to go to sleep when the phone started ringing one after another.
Upon hearing that his daughter had been in an accident, and something so shameful at that, Mr. Zhang was furious.
Given that there were important negotiations the next day, he instructed his assistant to handle the matter immediately, first suppress the public opinion, and then have the assistant take the fastest flight back to China to follow up.
How could he have a daughter who is so careless and doesn't know what's important?
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
After finishing her interrogation, Madam Zhang, unable to contain herself any longer, yelled at the top of her lungs, "Zhang Min! Get down here!"
When her tutor told her that they needed to change the location for the class, she didn't take it seriously. He then gave a more tactful explanation, saying that it wasn't convenient to go up and down the stairs to get water in the study, and suggested that the class could be held in the living room or dining room, saying that this would also avoid some conflicts.
Mrs. Zhang knew he was trying to avoid suspicion, but the lobby was too busy and might affect the quality of teaching, so she refused his request. As for the fruit and drinks, she said they could be delivered to the room without any trouble.
Who would have thought that this act of avoiding suspicion would actually mean avoiding her daughter?
However, he also hit the nail on the head: it is indeed not reassuring for a man and a woman to be alone in an enclosed space.
That very evening, she had surveillance cameras installed in the study, and they were installed quite discreetly so that most people wouldn't notice them.
Where do those videos on the internet come from?
No, she has to watch the entire surveillance footage.
Zhang Min remained silent.
The housekeeper and cleaning staff dared not utter a sound.
Madam Zhang was furious. If Zhang Min wouldn't come down, she would go up herself.
But Zhang Min locked the door from the inside.
Madam Zhang gestured to the housekeeper: "Open the door."
The housekeeper responded and skillfully picked out Zhang Min's room key from a large bunch of keys, quickly opening the door.
The room was a mess, with things smashed all over the floor. Zhang Min huddled in a corner, covering her head and remaining silent.
Mrs. Zhang was even angrier: "What are you doing? What are you trying to do by making such a mess of the room? Come here and explain to me in detail what happened!"
Zhang Min buried her head between her thighs and remained motionless.
Mrs. Zhang grew angrier the more she looked at him: "Look at you! If it's not your fault, find evidence to clarify. If it is your fault, do everything you can to minimize the impact. Don't always expect the two of us old folks to clean up your messes. Can we clean up your messes for the rest of our lives?"
Zhang Min seemed to be jolted a little more awake by those words, but she only trembled and didn't lift her head.
“I have no problem with you wanting to stay here and get moldy, but if you continue like this and things really get to the point of no return, I won’t be able to stop you even if you cry and scream to jump off the building.”
Zhang Min seemed to have finally been persuaded. She slowly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, her pants soaked through from her thighs to her knees.
"It was clearly his own choice... He seduced me... He hinted that I should make the first move on him!"
By the end, Zhang Min's expression was almost manic.
Looking at Zhang Min's appearance, Mrs. Zhang realized that normal communication was impossible, so she decided to give up the idea and go to check the surveillance footage.
After all, surveillance is more intuitive.
Mrs. Zhang had the surveillance footage retrieved and started watching it from the day it was installed.
At first, the teaching was normal, but Zhang Min did peek at the tutor quite often.
Then, without realizing it, Zhang Min moved her chair closer to the tutor. The two got closer and closer, and the tutor seemed to notice her actions. In order to keep his distance, he sat down to the side.
Zhang Min was unhappy that her tutor was too far away from her, saying that it would affect the quality of her learning. She threw a small tantrum, but this time she placed the chair next to her tutor with a clear conscience and made it perfectly reasonable.
During class, Zhang Min would occasionally nudge her tutor's arm with her elbow. When the tutor was explaining on scrap paper, Zhang Min would lean her head so close that it was almost touching the tutor's cheek.
The tutor was clearly avoiding physical contact with the student, and you could even hear him helplessly saying things like, "We're too close," "This isn't good," "Sit properly," and "Did you understand what I'm telling you?" in the surveillance footage.
If this tutor makes any guiding gestures or uses any language, Mrs. Zhang can immediately arrange for the media to report it.
However, releasing the video only further confirmed his daughter's indecent behavior.
Despite repeated warnings, Zhang Min shamelessly continued to approach the other party.
Finally, they even started doing it themselves.
Arrogant, extremely arrogant.
Even Mrs. Zhang felt that her daughter had gone a bit too far.
Then she saw that, while Zhang Min was in the bathroom, the tutor had hidden a miniature camera in the room.
He put the camera away at the end of the last day of teaching.
They were caught in a dilemma: unwilling to be harassed but forced to earn money.
Zhang Min's actions were not influenced in any way; after all, the audio was recorded, and the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.
Mrs. Zhang felt it was time to try a different approach.
She went to Zhang Min again: "Show me your chat history with that man."
At first, Mrs. Zhang found the tutor to be very pleasing to the eye, but when her own interests were involved, her attitude towards the tutor immediately changed.
Zhang Min's problems would affect the company's image, and Mrs. Zhang was extremely disgusted by anyone or anything that harmed her interests.
Zhang Min seemed to be thinking of something sad: "He won't add me on WeChat... He won't give me any other way to contact him... He said he'd give it to me if I did well on my exams..."
Zhang Min suddenly looked up, chuckling to herself, "Now that I've done well on the exam, is he willing to exchange social media accounts with me?"
Mrs. Zhang felt that Zhang Min's current condition was not quite right, so she quickly called the family doctor to take a look.
After examining me, the doctor only said that I was under a lot of mental stress and that I just needed to rest.
Mrs. Zhang was skeptical, but she decided to let Zhang Min rest as the doctor advised.
There was no private contact, and the surveillance footage showed no signs of guidance or being guided. The claim that Zhang Min was guided is simply untenable.
Even if someone tampers with the video, it will be detected.
Zhang Min is such an idiot.
The Zhang family wanted to remove the trending topic, but for some reason, this seemingly insignificant matter encountered such strong resistance.
It can't be withdrawn.
There have been people obstructing this.
Zhang Min became a trending topic and went viral.
Her life story from childhood to adulthood has been thoroughly exposed.
Her past behavior at school, including bullying the weak, has also been exposed.
There are pictures and videos to prove it.
Apart from a few people who were just arguing for the sake of arguing, everyone else was condemning her.
[So young, yet so awful!]
How did the parents raise such a child? Are all children from wealthy families this awful and morally bankrupt?
[It has nothing to do with being rich or poor, it's purely a matter of upbringing. She's always attended elite schools, and her classmates' families must be well-off too, yet I haven't seen anyone else act like her.]
There's some truth to the saying that wealthy families often produce spoiled brats.
Oh my god, if my child were bullied like this, I would be heartbroken.
My heart aches for those bullied children. I can't imagine how badly they're hurt, or how heartbroken their parents must be.
This kind of person should go to jail! Why should they be let off just because they're a minor?!
She's still so young, we absolutely can't let her get away with this!
Qi Yu always eagerly shares fresh, hot gossip with Qin Yan.
This includes how people in the comments section are criticizing Zhang Min.
"Yanyan, look! Even their family can't handle this. I bet Zhang Min is on the verge of a mental breakdown from all the cyberbullying."
Qi Yu forwarded the link and took screenshots, saying, "Serves her right! Look how arrogant she is. She's always so haughty at school. She got her comeuppance."
Zhang Min's case brought up the issue of school bullying, and everyone involved in school bullying was singled out and listed.
Including Xie Lin.
He was not only a bully and a fighter in school, but also had an immoral private life, which led to him being relentlessly criticized by netizens.
Qin Yan had arranged to go shopping with Qi Yu. The two were currently in a clothing store, where the sales assistant was getting them clothes in their sizes. Qi Yu, having nothing better to do, was scrolling through her phone, her desire to share overflowing, and she couldn't wait to tell Qin Yan this amazing news.
Qin Yan glanced at it, remaining calm and composed.
"Yanyan, you're so calm. She was being sarcastic and sarcastic in front of you!" Qi Yu sometimes wondered if Qin Yan didn't seem to have any strong emotions.
Otherwise, why would she act like nothing happened when something so exciting is happening?
"And Xie Lin too! Tsk tsk tsk, which righteous person dug him up? Well said, well said, it got my blood pumping."
Qin Yan replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, that's great."
Qi Yu: "..." This is the ultimate perfunctory response.
Qin Yan is replying to the message.
The other party said that it would be troublesome to introduce him to a few more jobs that are not dangerous and have high pay, as jobs that pay two salaries are not easy to find.
Qin Yan agreed.
This person is truly a professional.
This tutor's persona was flawlessly crafted from birth, without the slightest flaw.
No loopholes could be found even after investigation.
I heard that Zhang Min has developed some mental problems; it seems this blow was quite severe.
Qi Yu changed the subject: "Yanyan, are you going straight home later?"
She had arranged to have dinner with her elders that evening.
Qin Yan switched her phone screen: "No, I'll play the movie later."
Qi Yu asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Science fiction film."
Qi Yu wasn't very interested: "You're going to watch it alone? I feel so lonely going to the movies alone."
There's absolutely no way she'd go to the movies alone; she'd have to go with a friend.
"No."
I received a message on my phone confirming the time and meeting place.
Qi Yu's gossipy nature rekindled: "Who is it? Do I know them?"
"Yes, you know him."
Qin Yan typed quickly: "My fiancé".

After Qin Yan took the escalator up, she saw Qin Ye leaning against the railing in the distance.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Qin Ye looked at Qin Yan, who was wearing a well-fitting school-style short dress, his eyes lit up, and he shook his head and said, "No, I just arrived."
Qin Yan walked ahead, turned back to look at him and said, "Want some popcorn?"
Qin Ye smiled and said, "Either is fine."
The film's plot is full of twists and turns, and its technological elements are visually stunning.
Even at the end, it left people wanting more.
In the darkness, Qin Yan felt her hand, which was resting on the armrest, being gently covered. A warm palm pressed against the back of her hand and then gently clasped her palm.
Qin Yan hadn't expected Qin Ye to be so bold.
As the end credits rolled, the theater lights came on.
Qin Yan turned her head and saw a face that clearly belonged to Qin Ye, but the expression was quite different from Qin Ye's usual demeanor.
It has become more shrewd and aggressive.
Yet it is also tender and ambiguous.
As her fingertips were gently caressed, Qin Yan instinctively tried to pull her hand back.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Qin Ye smiled as he looked at Qin Yan, raised the hand that was trying so hard to break free, and placed it to his lips, gently kissing the knuckles.
"Ayan."
