Chapter 36
Zou Xuezheng saw that Shen Yue ignored her and didn't care. She turned to Dong Nuo, who was still stunned, and said gently, "Little Nuo, how did your talk with Yueyue go?"
Dong Nuo was still stunned there, not recovered from Shen Yue's silent refusal, and didn't answer Zou Xuezheng's words either.
But after seeing Dong Nuo's reaction, Zou Xuezheng knew that the two didn't talk well.
She didn't urge Dong Nuo, just took him back to her room, poured him a glass of water, and comforted him in the manner of someone who knew better, "It's okay, don't feel bad. I know you want to apologize, but not everything can be resolved with an apology."
Saying this, Zou Xuezheng revealed a slightly bleak smile, paused for a moment before continuing, "For example, although I didn't mean it, I did hurt Yueyue in the end. Apart from herself, no one else can feel the pain, so you can't force her to forgive me either.
If she is willing to forgive me, I will feel relieved, but even if she doesn't forgive me, she has done nothing wrong. The right to forgive itself lies with the injured person. Some things are not worth forgiving."
These words seemed to make sense coming from Zou Xuezheng's mouth, but no one knew if she really thought so in her heart.
Hearing what Zou Xuezheng said, Dong Nuo finally responded, "What kind of things can't be forgiven?"
Dong Nuo vaguely knew that he had done something excessive, but Shen Yue's attitude towards him these past few days always made him feel that he could be forgiven. Now that he was rejected, he couldn't help but ask Zou Xuezheng, who had a "similar" experience.
Seeing that Dong Nuo took the bait, Zou Xuezheng was delighted inside, but on the surface there was no flaw at all. She just continued to ask caringly, "I have to know what Yueyue did at school first, and what you did, before I can judge."
Dong Nuo looked at the cameras in the room and hesitated a little.
Would it be inappropriate to just say it like this?
Zou Xuezheng saw that Dong Nuo was worried, and deliberately said, "The wrongdoer is not Yueyue. You don't have to be nervous about saying it out loud having any bad effects. On the contrary, some things must be resolved by adults. If Yueyue hides it and doesn't say it, it will only hurt herself. You're helping her this way."
Hearing Zou Xuezheng's words, Dong Nuo suddenly felt they made a lot of sense. That's right, telling adults what Shang Junyu did would be helping Shen Yue.
So Dong Nuo began to talk about what happened to Shen Yue at school.
"Our school is quite special... Each grade has a few poor students, and the treatment of poor students is also special. Shen Yue is not a poor student, but she is very mysterious and no one knows about her family's situation."
When Zou Xuezheng heard this, she immediately understood that this was talking about Four Seas School. As a former student there, she was all too familiar with its twists and turns. "Every day, Shen Yue goes to and from school with a boy, and she takes the initiative to help the boy get food at noon. She also buys things for him from time to time... That boy often asks Shen Yue to do things for him, and she always agrees..."
"What kinds of things does she do?" Zou Xuezheng interrupted Dong Nuo and asked.
"Helping him and his brothers buy things...that kind of thing."
In fact, it was far more than that. After winning a dance competition, Shen Yue immediately gave the trophy to Shang Junyu. On Shang Junyu's birthday, she personally folded 1000 origami cranes by hand. And because Shang Junyu didn't do well on an exam once, she accompanied him to study late every night. In the end Shang Junyu got first place, while Shen Yue ranked outside the top 100.
It was because of Shen Yue's genuine care and affection she showed to Shang Junyu, plus Shang Junyu's status, that made the two a topic of discussion among many students at the school.
It's just that most of the comments about Shang Junyu were good, while the comments about Shen Yue were all negative.
Seeing Dong Nuo unwilling to continue, Zou Xuezheng prompted him, "What do you mean when you say Yueyue was deceived?"
"Shen Yue was very good to that person, but that person was not good to Shen Yue..." After saying this, Dong Nuo realized belatedly that telling adults about these things that upset Shen Yue, was it really okay?
Who was he to Shen Yue that he had the right to privately tell others about Shen Yue's matters?
Hadn't he, like before, too readily believed other people's words and then did the wrong thing?
Dong Nuo suddenly woke up and avoided Zou Xuezheng's gaze. "I'm sorry, I won't say any more. If sister wants to know, you can ask Yueyue directly. And please forget what I just said."
He suddenly understood Shen Yue's feelings a bit, and from her perspective, what was the whole school's existence to her.
Zou Xuezheng saw that she was just about to uncover Shen Yue's big secret, so how could she let it go easily?
She might turn things around relying on this secret.
But she didn't force Dong Nuo anymore, just made herself look understanding, "Then you rest well. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Dong Nuo nodded.
But Zou Xuezheng began to think about the information revealed in Dong Nuo's words just now.
Shen Yue's mysterious identity meant that no famous person related to Shen Yue could be found in the Four Seas School's network of relationships.
There were generally two possibilities for this situation.
The first possibility was that Shen Yue's identity had been deliberately hidden. To be able to do this, they had to be at least a major shareholder of Four Seas School, or someone in the family was a national level official.
The second possibility was that Shen Yue was just an ordinary person, so naturally no famous political or financial figures could be found among her relatives.
It was known that Shen Yue was Shen Shuangyi's sister, and Shen Shuangyi was famously self-made to where he was today, and didn't seem to be from a capable family either.
Things were very clear now. Obviously, Shen Yue's family had used some improper means to get her into Four Seas School to meet more connections.
This was a big deal.
At this time, Dong Nuo and Zou Xuezheng, who had been confiscated of their phones for several days, of course did not know that under the Shen family's indulgence, online fans had already dug up Shen Yue's background.
Zou Xuezheng even thought she had grasped Shen Yue and Shen Shuangyi's lifeline.
A star who relied on his own efforts to get to where he was, and a Shen Yue who could only get into Four Seas School by relying on others, were the perfect contrast for her.
At this time, a certain Shen Yue fan who was intentionally watching Zou Xuezheng's live stream, after hearing Dong Nuo and Zou Xuezheng's loud discussion, immediately ran back to Shen Yue's sleep stream and started typing.
[Big trouble! Where is the Shen family's big brother! Do you know Shen Yue is in a relationship?]
At first this bullet screen was plain.
Until someone started repeating it, then it spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, finally, the bullet screens in Shen Yue's sleep stream finally changed from [When will sister Yue wake up?] to [Big trouble! Where is the Shen family's big brother! Do you know Shen Yue is in a relationship?].
At this time, Shen Yichen was holding a newly submitted plan, busily writing and drawing on it. His handsome brows were slightly furrowed. Although he was young, his aura was already very intimidating.
The business department manager standing opposite him was frightened by this and was nervous inside. It's over, going to be scolded by President Shen again.
Shen Yichen finally put down the contract and bluntly criticized, "One week, and this is what you come up with?"
Just as he was about to continue speaking, there was a knock at the door outside. Shen Yichen realized something and stopped what he was about to say, telling the person to come in.
"Please come in."
"President Shen, there's a small problem with the show."
Shen Yichen lightly tapped the table with his index finger, directly handing the contract to the business department manager, and began hurrying him out. "I've marked out the problematic areas. Fix it before tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, the business department manager knew he didn't have to get scolded anymore, and hurriedly left.
After the person left, Shen Yichen listened to his assistant's report while opening Shen Yue's livestream. Going in, he was first angered unconscious by the sight of Shen Yue sleeping soundly, then under the barrage of bullet screens.
[Big trouble! Where is the Shen family's big brother! Do you know Shen Yue is in a relationship?]
[Do you know Shen Yue is in a relationship?!]
[In a relationship!]
[Relationship!]
