After hearing this, Old Master Fu struck Fu Yushu's shin with his cane again. "What did I tell you last time? No early romance. Don't have any more contact with that Nan Yun'er. Did you just ignore me?"

Fu Yushu knelt on the cold ground, the places on his legs that had been hit burning painfully, but he couldn't help but retort, "I just like her."

"You're not even fully grown yet, what are you doing loving things when you're underage? Are you too idle? If you're too idle, go work on a construction site and carry bricks."

Grandpa Fu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He supported the freedom of love and marriage, and Fu Yushu was about to come of age. He shouldn't have interfered, but Nan Yun'er was not a good person and was full of tricks.

Old Master Fu took a few deep breaths, his finger trembling as he pointed at Fu Yushu, "Listen to me, if you ever have any contact with that Nan Yun'er again, I'll personally shave your head and send you to the mountains to live a life of quiet contemplation and chanting sutras for the rest of your life."

Fu Yushu's face turned deathly pale. "Grandpa..."

Grandpa Fu gets a headache whenever he sees Fu Yushu. "Go kneel in the ancestral hall. You're not allowed to eat today."

Fu Yushu's eyes were red, but he dared not say anything more and limped toward the ancestral hall.

Grandpa Fu watched Fu Yushu's retreating figure, sighed heavily, and turned to Fu Chengyan, "This time, Yushu was in the wrong. Buy some things later, take Yushu with you, and personally go to apologize to that child."

Grandpa Fu paused for a moment, "Isn't the eldest son of the Jiang family named Jiang Guanqing? That boy is quite good. I really liked the painting that was sent to the last birthday banquet. I heard he's not in good health. I have some old ginseng here; you can send it over with him."

Fu Chengyan's expression shifted slightly. "Okay."

As if remembering something, Old Master Fu slammed his cane heavily on the ground. "I forgot to mention you. You're almost thirty, and Yu Shu will be an adult soon. Why haven't you brought me a wife yet? The young one is love-struck, and the old one is brainless. Are you two trying to drive this old man to his death?"

Fu Chengyan gave a speechless twitch of his lips. "You can worry about the little one. Just take good care of the little one, and I'll be fine."

Just as Old Master Fu was about to get angry, he thought about it and realized something was amiss. "So you've finally found someone you like?"

Fu Chengyan stood up without saying a word, "I'm going to clean up the mess left by that love-struck fool."

Oh dear, this is tacit agreement. Old Master Fu was no longer annoyed and sat down happily.

Fu Chengyan acted quickly. An hour later, Fu Yushu's verified personal account issued an apology statement, admitting that he had spread rumors about Jiang Ning cheating without any evidence, and attached the complete surveillance and marking records issued by the school.

Fu Chengyan forwarded Fu Yushu's statement and commented: As a guardian, I have failed in my supervisory duties and sincerely apologize to Jiang Ning.

The statement immediately reversed public opinion. The Fu family's legal department mobilized overnight, and the marketing accounts that spearheaded the rumors deleted their posts and apologized.

After resolving this matter, Fu Chengyan did not forget Nan Yun'er, the root of the problem.

Fu Chengyan didn't personally appear, but had his assistant pass on a message to several investors. Under pressure, Nam Yoon-ah's agency had no choice but to have her come forward and clarify the situation.

In the video, Nam Yoon-ah's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was soft, with a hint of crying, "I'm sorry about what happened recently. My grades are indeed not good, and I have never cultivated a 'scholar' image since my debut. Those press releases... were arranged by the company, not my intention. I'm very sorry."

After reading these words with a pitiful expression, Nam Yoon-ah lowered her eyelashes, a tear hanging perfectly on the edge of her eye socket, about to fall.

Bystander A: LOL, didn't you put on some kind of innocent, academic genius persona before, with all the press releases flying around? Why didn't you speak up then?

Math class representative: It's a company arrangement? You're trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility. Did you not take the money or the title?

Battle of the Martial World: So Fu Yushu spread rumors about others just for this "academic genius"? He's definitely in the late stages of being love-struck.

Milk tea with no ice and 30% sugar: Am I the only one who thinks Nam Yoon-ah's apology is so teasy? Why didn't she do this earlier? Who is she crying to now?

8 AM Destroyer: +1 to the comment above. Tears just come out of nowhere. You used all your acting skills here, didn't you?

Yoona's Little Star: Haven't you guys had enough? Yoona has already apologized, what more do you want? Artists are supposed to follow the company's arrangements. She said it wasn't her own intention, but you don't believe her. You've said all the good and bad things you could think of.

Nam Yoon-ah's Global Fan Club: We feel sorry for Yoon-ah. She was clearly implicated by the company, yet she has to take the blame. We fans never made those press releases; they were just made up by marketing accounts. What does it have to do with Yoon-ah?

A seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry: Fans, stop trying to defend him. He's been in the industry for five years, and there have been countless press releases. Would he have authorized his company to do this? Do you really think netizens are stupid?

Yoona's Little Star: Replying to @Entertainment Industry Veteran: What do you know? Artists from small companies have no say at all, what can Yoona do?

Passerby B: If you don't have a voice, you don't have to post on Weibo, like "Thank you fans for organizing my study notes." You were the one who posted that Weibo post back then, weren't you?

Yoona's Little Star: You people just can't stand to see others doing well. Yoona has already suffered enough, what more do you want?

capitalist's lackey: Tragic? Is she more tragic than those high school seniors? Why didn't you speak up when she was being falsely accused of cheating?

The internet was in an uproar. Jiang Zhuo, who was a supersonic surfer when he wasn't working, saw that Nam Yoon-ah had clarified the situation and that it involved his younger brother, so he immediately posted a Weibo post as well.

Jiang Zhuo V: My younger brother has made great progress recently, and the whole family is very happy. He's a senior in high school, studying is already tiring enough, and having to deal with all this other stuff is really tough. Also, some people who try to portray themselves as "academic superstars" should at least pass their final exams first; retaking exams takes a lot of time. (Written by my younger brother in eight minutes under the watchful eyes of his five older brothers)

The accompanying photos are two: one shows Jiang Ning sitting on the floor doing her winter break homework, with test papers scattered all over the floor; the other is an A4 sheet of paper showing Jiang Ning answering Jiang Yan's questions.

The moment the post was published on Weibo, the comment section was instantly flooded with people.

Passerby C: LOL, the first picture shows Jiang Ning sitting in a pile of test papers, her expression is like she's sealed by her homework, it's so real.

Zhuozhuo Qihua: Hahaha, eight minutes! Under the noses of five older brothers, Jiang Ning: This is too hard for me~

Math class representative: I zoomed in on the second picture, and the auxiliary lines for that analytic geometry problem were drawn perfectly.

A 0-0 score: Right under the noses of her five older brothers? Jiang Ning actually has five older brothers? What kind of family setup is this?

Yoona's Little Star: Have you guys had enough? Yoona has already apologized, why is Jiang Zhu still being sarcastic? Just because you have an older brother doesn't make you special?

Zhuozhuoqihua: Replying to @Yun'er's Little Star: It's really amazing, do you have a problem with that?

……

After dinner, Jiang Guanqing took Jiang Ning to school. When he got home, he learned from Jiang Zhuo about Fu Yushu's apology and Nan Yun'er's clarification.

Before he could react, a bag of Chinese medicine was placed in front of him.

Jiang Zhuo looked completely innocent and brought up Jiang Yan, saying, "My second brother told me to keep an eye on things."

Jiang Guanqing had no choice but to obediently drink the medicine. After drinking it, the bitter taste made him forget all about the past.

After a long morning of activity, Jiang Guanqing felt tired and planned to go back to his room to rest for a while. However, after getting up, he suddenly started coughing.

Jiang Guanqing: We're doomed...
