Xu Lin pointed at the computer and said, "Look, this says that Qianxi dated the town mayor's son when she was in high school, and she also had ambiguous relationships with people in society, which caused several groups outside the school to fight each other for her. She had to take a year off from school before she was admitted to our school. This little boatman said that Qianxi deliberately seduced him for the first-class scholarship."
Seeing Xiao Qianxi being slandered like this, Xie Qiao, though angry that Xiao Qianxi had stolen her little boat boy, didn't want her to be defamed like this, and said, "Who is this person? They're insulting her!"
Wang Ying watched Xie Qiao and Xu Lin arguing with someone in front of the computer and knew that their actions were ineffective. If they couldn't find the mastermind behind it all, they couldn't solve the problem at its root.
Her first instinct was to ask her childhood friend Yang Cheng for help, but she hesitated when she got the phone in her hand. After all, Yang Cheng had previously wanted to pursue Xiao Qianxi, and now he was interested in Xie Qiao. If she asked him for help, wouldn't that give him an opportunity to get closer to Xie Qiao?
She suddenly thought of someone who could help, so she went straight to the bubble tea shop.
"Qin Chuan!"
When Zhao Shucheng saw Wang Ying arrive, he smiled and said, "What brings you here at this hour? What flavor of milk tea would you like?"
Wang Ying noticed that the milk tea shop was even more bustling than it had been near the school gate. She thought Zhao Shucheng was very capable; while others were still relying on their families, he already had his own business, and it seemed to be thriving.
"I didn't come here for milk tea, it's because Xiao Qianxi from my dorm had an accident."
"What happened?"
"Someone is spreading rumors. Xie Qiao and Xu Lin are currently arguing online, but that won't solve the problem. That's why I came to you to see if you have any solutions."
Zhao Shucheng was taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Wang Ying walked aside with Zhao Shucheng and explained the situation to him. Then she said, "Qin Chuan, what do you think we should do to resolve this?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "Do you know the truth of the matter? After all, only by knowing the truth can we have a specific direction for the investigation."
"I actually asked Xiao Qianxi about this. Back then, the town mayor's son pursued Xiao Qianxi relentlessly, but the teachers didn't care at all. Neither the teachers nor the principal dared to mess with the mayor's son, so Xiao Qianxi had to hide everywhere. In the end, she was forced to take a year off from school. It wasn't until the mayor's son was admitted to university and left that she was able to repeat a year and get into her current Peking University."
Zhao Shucheng said, "It seems that the things on the internet are not unfounded. To know so much about Xiao Qianxi's school days and the mayor's son's relationship with Xiao Qianxi, they must be from Xiao Qianxi's hometown. So it's easy to find a direction for the investigation. There shouldn't be many people from their small town who can come to Beiqing to study. With a little investigation, we can find out who posted on the forum."
"Right, why didn't I think of that before? I need to find clues quickly and make sure they delete the post and clarify the truth."
Zhao Shucheng stopped Wang Ying, who was about to leave, and said, "Are you planning to go directly to their door to confront them after you find them?"
"Why not?"
"Things aren't that simple. Since the other party did this, they certainly didn't do it without a purpose. Even if you find the person, you should try to get them to agree to delete the post, rather than escalating the conflict further."
Zhao Shucheng glanced at Wang Ying, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "The other party's resentment towards Xiao Qianxi is so strong, it must not be a boy, it must be a girl, and she likes the mayor's son. But the mayor's son doesn't like her, he likes Xiao Qianxi, so she is jealous and hateful, and can't stand Xiao Qianxi's feelings, so she spreads rumors online."
"If you find the person and go to their home to reason with them, they will either deny it or remain unrepentant. So what you need to do is either call the police or find the school teachers and ask them to resolve the issue."
Wang Ying looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Qin Chuan, I've discovered that you know a lot."
"This kind of thing is actually not uncommon, it's just that you haven't encountered it before, so you don't know how to handle it. We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If the other party doesn't abide by the law, we can't break the law. Instead, we should make good use of the rules to protect our rights."
"Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with Xu Lin and the others. We'll definitely be able to help Qianxi restore her reputation."
Wang Ying didn't expect that her visit to Zhao Shucheng would lead to such an easy solution. After returning to her dormitory and telling Xu Lin and the others, she immediately began an investigation and quickly identified the suspect.
The other person was a senior student, one year ahead of them, and also a girl from Xiao Qianxi's small town.
Xu Lin was about to go to the dormitory to confront the girls, but Wang Ying stopped him. After Wang Ying told him Zhao Shucheng's idea, Xu Lin said somewhat unhappily:
“There’s no need for all that trouble. Let’s just talk it out face to face. If he doesn’t admit it, we’ll beat him until he does.”
"You're forcing a confession out of her. What if she denies it later? Then it will be our fault. I think Qin Chuan is right. We should let the school handle this. Spreading rumors isn't a big deal, but if she doesn't want to be punished, she has to apologize publicly and delete the post."
Although Xu Lin felt that this lack of communication would be faster, Wang Ying held her back, making it impossible for her to go directly to the other girl's dormitory to settle accounts. So she could only let Wang Ying call the counselor and meet up with the other girl before she went to confront her.
The other party did not expect that Wang Ying and her group would find her so quickly. Although she tried her best to deny it, the IP address on the computer and her account did not lie. In the end, she could only admit that she had spread rumors and attacked Xiao Qianxi out of jealousy and hatred.
Xiao Qianxi originally wanted to ask He Xiaozhou for help in solving the problem, but she didn't expect that when she returned to her dormitory, she found that the problem had already been solved.
"Thank you for helping me!"
"Hey, don't be so polite. What kind of relationship do we have? We're roommates, we even got poisoned together, we're practically in the same boat."
Wang Ying said, "Actually, the perfect resolution of this matter was largely thanks to the direction of the investigation given by Qin Chuan."
"In any case, you all put in a lot of effort. As for Qin Chuan, I will also go and thank him."
Xie Qiao said, "Qianxi, you don't need to be so polite. Qin Chuan is just asking for it. I'll just say it for you."
"No, you must thank me. Qiaoqiao, after class tomorrow, ask Qin Chuan to come over. Your little brother Xiaochuan said he'd like to treat you two to dinner."
Xie Qiao didn't really want to go, since all she would do was watch the two of them show affection, but Xiao Qianxi used the excuse of thanking Qin Chuan, so she couldn't refuse on Qin Chuan's behalf.
Zhao Shucheng received a call from Xie Qiao, who told him about He Xiaozhou's dinner plans. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
Actually, he's been very busy lately and hasn't had much time to eat, but since they've been friends since childhood, Zhao Shucheng can't really be completely ungrateful.
The next afternoon.
After arranging the work for his employees, Zhao Shucheng met up with Xie Qiao and they went to the food stall chosen by He Xiaozhou.
Xiao Qianxi first thanked Zhao Shucheng for helping Wang Ying find clues in the investigation, which allowed her to get rid of the online public opinion so quickly.
Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "I didn't help much, I just talked to them. Wang Ying and Xie Qiao did the most work."
"Oh, it's all in the past, so please don't stand on ceremony."
Xie Qiao didn't like watching them exchange pleasantries, so she interrupted them and started talking about funny things from her childhood.
Xiao Qianxi was very interested in these past events, since she was now with He Xiaozhou and wanted to know about his past.
After a satisfying meal, He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi walked back hand in hand, with Xie Qiao and Zhao Shucheng following behind.
Seeing the two people in front of her whispering sweet nothings, Xie Qiao knew she really had no hope. She turned to look at Zhao Shucheng, only to find that he wasn't paying any attention to He Xiaozhou at all, but was staring blankly at the shops along the roadside.
"Qin Chuan, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I was just wondering if this location is suitable for opening a branch. However, it's too close to the previous store, which might affect customer traffic."
"Can you stop thinking so much about your business? Speaking of which, your milk tea shop is doing quite well, but you've been getting so close to Wang Ying lately. Do you like her?"
"So what?"
Xie Qiao said, "No way. You don't know, do you? Wang Ying has a very rich childhood friend. Their relationship is something you can't interfere with at all."
For some reason, Xie Qiao subconsciously didn't want Zhao Shucheng to be with Wang Ying. As for Yang Cheng pursuing her, she felt there was no need to tell Zhao Shucheng at all.
Zhao Shucheng glanced at Xie Qiao and said, "This is still far from settled. Right now, we're just ordinary friends. By the way, my sister's wedding date has been set. Are you sure you want to come with me?"
"Go ahead, why wouldn't you go?"
"Okay, I'll book the tickets tomorrow, and we'll go together."
"it is good!"
Tan Hui knew that Zhao Shucheng and Xie Qiao were coming to attend his wedding with Qin Qian. As the only family member from the bride's side, he naturally wanted to treat them well, so he specially sent someone to the airport to pick them up.
When Xie Qiao saw that the people who came to pick her up were all dressed in black suits and sunglasses, just like gangsters in a movie, she nervously patted Zhao Shucheng's arm.
Zhao Shucheng had actually seen it too, and knew that these people were not real gangsters. It was just that Qin Qian wanted a unique wedding, so Tan Hui had his employees and male guests dress up like this.
"Were you sent by Qin Qian to pick me up?"
"Qin Chuan, Xie Qiao?"
"Correct!"
"Then that's it!" the other person said, walking directly behind them as if escorting them.
Xie Qiao said with some concern, "Is this really someone your sister sent to pick us up? Something doesn't seem right."
"If she hadn't sent someone, I wouldn't know anyone else in Shanghai. Who else could it be? Alright, relax!"
Despite Zhao Shucheng's reassurance, Xie Qiao was still somewhat worried, since the other party hadn't said a word after getting in the car and had directly taken them to their destination.
Fortunately, after getting off the bus, Xie Qiao found that Qin Qian was indeed there, which made Xie Qiao breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Qian was initially somewhat hopeful, but seeing Xie Qiao's relieved expression and learning what had happened, she reprimanded Tan Hui's men.
"I sent you to pick someone up, why did you scare them like this?"
"President Qin, didn't you tell us to keep quiet and not scare the young lady?"
"With people like you, it's even scarier if you don't say anything, okay?"
Qin Qian was also somewhat amused and exasperated. Tan Hui's employees really did look fierce, but some of them weren't very bright. Their actions in picking up people resembled kidnapping, which terrified Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao finally realized it was all a misunderstanding and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Qian invited Zhao Shucheng and Xie Qiao to the wedding, not only as her family members, but also because she wanted them to be her bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Zhao Shucheng initially refused, after all, he was the woman's representative, and Tan Hui's best man should be a relative or friend from his side.
However, faced with his sister who was used to being assertive, Zhao Shucheng had no choice but to agree. After all, it was her wedding, and he had to make her happy.
Xie Qiao was overjoyed to hear that she would be a bridesmaid, as it was her first time being one. Therefore, she was extremely meticulous in choosing her bridesmaid dress, changing several outfits before finally selecting one she was satisfied with.
Zhao Shucheng was much more casual. For men's suits, it's all about the fabric, color, and style, so Zhao Shucheng just picked one out and settled on it.
After the wedding began, Qin Qian was dressed up and had a happy smile on her face.
Xie Qiao looked at Qin Qian with great envy, wanting to become like Qin Qian and find her own happiness.
Qin Qian said, "Qiao Qiao, don't try to become anyone else. Just be yourself. Actually, I'm not being brave; I'm just making up my mind. People are often scared by the question 'What will happen in the future?' But life is lived, not imagined. None of us know from which person we meet that our lives will be like this forever."
Zhao Shucheng was not only the best man, but also a member of the bride's family, so he was also responsible for blocking the door.
Upon seeing Zhao Shucheng, Tan Hui smiled and said, "I knew I was going to get ripped off by you today, so I prepared the red envelope in advance!"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the red envelope Tan Hui handed him, took it but remained silent, looking around.
Tan Hui asked, "No, what do you mean? You won't let me in?"
Zhao Shucheng said, "That depends on your sincerity. I saw your wallet yesterday, it looks nice, what brand is it?"
Tan Hui understood Zhao Shucheng's meaning, so he took out his wallet, handed it to Zhao Shucheng, and said, "Is this enough?"
Zhao Shucheng was actually joking, so after taking it, he said, "Groom, this way please! Happy wedding!"
Tan Hui said, "In all my life, you're the first person who's ever dared to rob me like this."
"Then you'd better be prepared, because once it happens, it will happen again. You'll get used to it eventually."
After the wedding officially began, Xie Qiao looked at the room full of people dressed like gangsters and wondered why.
After Zhao Shucheng explained, he also put on sunglasses and became a member of the atmosphere-building group.
After the wedding officially began, Tan Hui recounted their love story to Qin Qian, moving Xie Qiao to tears. Only Zhao Shucheng remained unmoved, as he already remembered these events; it was merely a rehash of old memories. (End of Chapter)
