Chapter 52

Jiang Tingzhou took her to and from school every day. Li Youqing and Zhang Xiaoya were too familiar with his looks. But they didn’t know his name and only called him a handsome guy.

Seeing the excited look on Li Youqing’s face, Su Meng deliberately asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

He had just dropped her at the door of the classroom. So that little time shouldn’t be enough for him to do anything big. Li Youqing said with glowing eyes, “I heard that he just got into prison because of a crime.”

Su Meng widened her eyes in surprise, “He commited a crime? What is it?”

Li Youqing shrugged, “How do I know? But it must be a major issue. Otherwise, how could he be taken to the police station? I heard that he was taken in a police car by two policemen.”

At that time Zhang Xiaoya also came over. She happened to hear Li Youqing’s words and inserted her thoughts into the conversation, “You are talking about the transfer student, right? Oh, I heard that too. A senior of mine told me. And you know what, he came here because he dropped out of a school! Really, how can our school accept such students!”

Li Youqing also said indignantly, “That’s right, our school’s enrollment rate is pulled down by these spicy chickens!” (m. Trash)

“No, he is not such a person!” Although Su Meng didn’t know why Jiang Tingzhou had dropped out of school, she knew they had misunderstood him on the prison issue. Li Youqing and Zhang Xiaoya glanced at her strangely.

Li Youqing said, “Mengmeng, were you talking for that person?”

Zhang Xiaoya tilted her head, “Mengmeng, do you know that transfer student?”

Su Meng got a little uncomfortable when she heard their comments on Jiang Tingzhou. But she knew that Li Youqing didn’t say that on purpose. Everyone else had similar thoughts.

Su Meng lowered her eyes, and said in a deep tone, “I know. Actually…you have all seen him.”

Zhang Xiaoya said, “We’ve seen him too? Isn’t it the handsome little brother who sends you to and from school every day?”

Su Meng nodded nervously, “It’s him. I know him very well, so I know he is not the kind of person you are talking about.”

Li Youqing and Zhang Xiaoya looked at each other.

Li Youqing looked thoughtful, “But… as the saying goes, there were no waves without wind. It is really hard to believe that students of the third year of high school made all these rumours.”

Su Meng thought about it carefully. They were probably talking about the time she and Jiang Tingzhou went to the police station that night. Things were clearly not how they said. Why was it spread like this?

She had no time to think about anything else. She took a deep breath and explained patiently to the two of them, “I was also in the police car that time. He didn’t do anything, but 　　

just helped me beat a real scumbag who bullied me. Actually he is a good person, not bad at all.”

Although Li Youqing and Zhang Xiaoya didn’t know Su Meng for a long time, they believed her words. Su Meng’s clear eyes told them that she did not lie. Since it was the handsome guy, Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t sit still. She said anxiously, “Then what’s the matter. In fact, I didn’t tell you that the senior sister told me that this guy intentionally hurt people and almost killed them.”

Even if that was the case, the rumor ignored an important premise, that was, Jiang Tingzhou beat people out of justice, but not deliberately. But all that was not known to others.

Judging from the rumors, almost everyone in the school thought that Jiang Tingzhou had deliberately found trouble and almost killed a person. 

“He got such a bad reputation at the start itself, what reputation would he have in the future? He had just transferred.” Su Meng was worried.

Su Meng tried to calm herself down, she realised that the matter wasn’t simple to handle. She thought that everyone would eventually forget about those rumours.　　

Su Meng couldn’t believe that this matter was premeditated. She told herself that she must calm down and not panic. But she couldn’t

She thought for a while and asked Li Youqing and Zhang Xiaoya, “Youqing, Xiaoya, do you know who spread this rumour first?”

Zhang Xiaoya patted her chest and said proudly, “Mengmeng, don’t worry, I will find who did it.”

Then the English class started, and Zhang Xiaoya could only return to her position. Su Meng looked at the English book in her hand, but couldn’t concentrate. Such rumours without real evidence were the most hurtful.

“So many people are misunderstanding him. How bad is it? If such a thing happened to her, she wouldn’t be able to bear it. She was worried how Jiang Tingzou was and what he must be going through. As soon as the morning classes were over, Zhang Xiaoya trot to the side of Su Meng, and said with excitement, “Mengmeng, I just got big news!”

Before Su Meng spoke, Li Youqing immediately asked curiously, “What is the big news?”

Zhang Xiaoya clenched her hands tightly into fists, “It turns out that the one who spread rumours was our school grass, Jiang Tingzhou’s brother,!”

Su Meng frowned, “School grass? Who?” (School grass- most handsome boy of school)

Li Youqing replied, “It’s Jiang Xiuran from the class 32.”

Zhang Xiaoya smiled, “Yes, another handsome guy named Jiang Xiuran. And do you know! This incident was first told to me by a girl in the class 32!”
