Anyone would suspect a professor who was rumored to have an affair with his student while his wife was seriously injured. Many people even thought that he wanted her assets, and attempted to kill her whiel disguising it as suicide.
Words are like knives. When this rumor spread, many people were convinced that he had bad intentions. Even the students in his school looked at him strangely. In his class, the atmosphere became more and more awkward, and a girl even asked him what marriage was in front of the whole class.
Chen Jiayang’s life had been very difficult these days. In order to avoid other people’s gossip, he had to go to the hospital every day, but the Lin family treated him so badly that more people doubted him. There was nothing he could do.
He admitted that he did something wrong, but Lin Xia’s injury really had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t know why she was holding his brooch before she fell into a coma. After quarreling with Lin Xia that day, he didn’t even notice that the brooch had fallen off.
Fortunately, when the police investigated the scene, they did not find any evidence of attempted murder, and the surveillance video in the community also proved that he never came back after leaving.
The police knew that this had nothing to do with him, but ordinary people didn’t know, lest the reporters who liked to stir up drama. They were implying that he was a criminal with a high IQ, so the police couldn’t find anything against him.
But this was not the worst. Shortly after the incident, the girl who initially admired and adored him told reporters that she didn’t want to be with him, but he used her grades to threaten her. If she did not agree with the two of them being together, the school would definitely not give her a postgraduate place. She felt scared and greedy, so she agreed.
The girl’s face was blurred in the video. She wept, kept saying sorry, and even knelt down and apologized to Chen Jiayang’s wife in front of the national audience, showing her weakness. With this, those who were angry at her directed their anger at Chen Jiayang.
All kinds of nasty words were thrown at Chen Jiayang.
In response, Chen Jiayang gritted his teeth angrily. The journalists made it so that the story sounded like a plot from a show. Besides, the girl was the one who first approached him, but now he was the one who threatened her. This was the first time he felt so wronged and helpless, but no matter what he said, no one else would believe him. Instead, they would just scold him even more severely. Even the school couldn’t bear it, so they asked him to go on leave.
Although Chen Jiayang was resentful, he also knew that the school would no longer let him continue.
When he went back, he felt that there were several old men and women in the community pointing at him, and he was too embarrassed to look at them, so he hurried inside.
“Mr. Chen,” an old lady wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam and a shawl stopped him. He looked back and recognized that this was Aunt Hao, a member of the owners’ committee, and smiled awkwardly at her, “Aunt Hao.”
“I heard from the doctor that Ms. Lin is recovering very well. Go to the hospital when you have time.”
Seeing Aunt Hao’s usual expression, Chen Jiayang guessed that she might not know the rumors, so he silently nodded to her. When he got home, he opened the door, only to feel that the room was cold and lifeless. Now that he lost his job, family, and reputation, he felt regretful.
He hadn’t come home these days. Although the blood in the living room had been cleaned up, he could still smell the faint scent of blood. When Lin Xia was taken to the hospital, he was not present, but he had seen pictures of the scene from the police.
He missed the most beautiful things in this life, but it was too late now.
In the hospital, Qi Yan looked at Lin Shuo who called him over in a hurry, “What do you want me to do?”
“Call God,” Lin Shuo looked at his sister, who was still unconscious, “the doctor said that my sister’s physical condition has recovered a lot, so she should have woken up. Don’t you have a way?”
“You are a graduate student, don’t believe in this kind of superstition,” Qi Yan walked to the bedside, stared at Lin Xia who was breathing evenly for a few seconds, then turned to Lin Shuo and said, “Your sister is stable, she will definitely wake up when it is time, I am just a Feng Shui master, not god, so stop with the nonsense.”
“You really can’t? What if it works?” Lin Shuo gave Qi Yan a few glances, and after confirming that Qi Yan really couldn’t, he slumped his shoulders and said, “But she has been in a coma for more than half a month. It’s not good for her body to be lying like this all the time.”
“Don’t worry, your sister will be fine,” Qi Yan patted his shoulder and asked casually, “How is Chen Jiayang?”
“How else,” Lin Shuo sneered, “the news got so big, his reputation is bad now, he lost his job at school, and everyone hates him.” But all this was not worse than his sister’s condition.
“I think he cares a lot about his reputation. This situation is probably more uncomfortable than if you slashed him.” Qi Yan glanced at Lin Xia on the bed, “it is retribution.”
The corners of Lin Shuo’s lips moved, but his expression did not look good. If his sister woke up, he wouldn’t care about how Chen Jiayang was doing, but his sister was still unconscious, so he wanted Chen Jianyang to suffer.
“By the way, I haven’t said thank you yet for this matter,” Lin Shuo lowered his head, his voice very low, “If you hadn’t found someone to get a photo of him and the girl together, we wouldn’t be able to prove his cheating.”
“It’s not me,” Qi Yan smiled slightly, “I asked for Baihe’s help for this.”
Lin Shuo nodded and remembered this kindness in his heart.
“You have to pay more attention to yourself. Your face does not look very good these days,” Qi Yan sighed, “I should go back, call me if anything.”
“Okay.” Lin Shuo sent Qi Yan to the door, but did not see Lin Xia’s eyes moving on the hospital bed behind him.
Qi Yan walked out of the hospital, looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, shook his head and sighed.
Love is really an incomprehensible thing. If you love each other, you will be together. If you don’t love, you should separate. Cheating on your partner is the most disgusting thing to do. As for Lin Shuo’s sister, she loved him vigorously, but when love turned into hatred, it was a raging fire, burning herself and the people who betrayed her.
Driving slowly in the traffic, all the vehicles seemed to be motionless. He looked boredly to the side of the road, and there was a huge screen hanging on a building in front of him.
The girl in the advertisement was dressed in white and stood by the creek. The water murmured, and the man beside her took off his cloak and draped it over her. He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, his eyes full of tenderness, “Look, the moon is so beautiful.”
The girl leaned on the man’s shoulder, her face full of sweetness, “Are you confessing to me?”
“Yes,” the man chuckled, “it’s too abrupt to say that I like you, it’s better to say that the moon is really beautiful.”
The moon is so beautiful… the moon is so beautiful…
Qi Yan suddenly remembered that when he and Cen Baihe were both standing on the balcony a few days ago, Cen Baihe seemed to have said a lot to him, one of which was…
He patted his face, was he overthinking?
“Boss?” Liang Feng noticed that Cen Baihe was distracted, he put down the report in his hand, “Are you okay?”
“Sorry, I was distracted, go ahead,” Cen Baihe nodded to Liang Feng, clenching his clasped hands a little tighter. Strange, why did his heartbeat become so fast just now?
“The previous general manager of the branch office found evidence that he stole the company’s information, and has called the police. Fortunately he didn’t know much about the decision-making process of the head office’s management, so he didn’t leak too much useful information.” Liang Feng felt lucky that this was discovered early, and they took precautions, otherwise the loss would be great.
“Yuan Hengyu played small tricks, Yuan Chong’an installed a spy. Yuan Chong’an’s tricks are much more intricate than Yuan Hengyu’s,” Cen Baihe smiled, “but their minds are the same.”
“He might be skilled, but he was still discovered by you,” Liang Feng knew a little about the Yuan family, “I heard that the Yuan family is still looking for Feng Shui masters, but unfortunately none of them wanted to take his business.”
No matter how powerful and rich a Feng Shui master was, they still needed money to survive. It was strange that no one responded to the Yuan’s family invitation.
Cen Baihe seemed to remember something, shook his head and smiled, “Maybe they offended someone who shouldn’t have offended.”
Liang Feng was very interested in this kind of gossip, “I thought it was you.”
“Will all the famous Feng Shui masters listen to me?” Cen Baihe laughed, “I don’t have such great ability.”
But that didn’t mean that the masters who were friends with Qi Yan didn’t.
Intuition told him that this matter might have something to do with Qi Yan.
At this time, Qi Yan, who was stuck in traffic, posted a message on the Internet.
[Help, what does it mean when a friend who has always been very good to me suddenly said to me, “Today’s moon is so beautiful”?]
[They want to stop being friends with you.]
[+1]
After reading the two replies, Qi Yan put his phone aside. It was all a mess.
He and Baihe had such a good relationship, why would he stop being friends with him?
