Chapter 120: Discussions in School

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

To these students, the idea of going to the police station was a big deal, and they were perplexed as to why Song Yin had to go there. When they learned about the IP address being traced back to the Song residence, some of them covered their mouths in shock and refrained from commenting.

However, one daring student, Student A, boldly suggested, “Could it be that

Song Yin was the one who posted the rumor?”

This speculation fell like a heavy shroud of silence over the group. Many students started to believe it was a plausible theory.

Especially when Tingting chimed in, squeezing her way into the conversation. She added, “Song Yin is so jealous of Song Fan; she probably didn’t want her to have it easy. But since she can’t compare to Song Fan in any way, she must resort to some tricks. It wouldn’t be surprising if she did something like this.”

Tingting’s strained relationship with Song Yin had led her to take up the habit of criticizing Song Yin at every opportunity.

After Tingting made her statement, many in the group began to find it plausible. The relationship between Song Yin and Song Fan was far from amicable; the two sisters rarely interacted at school.

Tingting, with an air of authority, continued, “Just watch. The first thing Song Yin will do when she’s back in school is explain why she went to the police station. She’ll try to shift all the blame onto Song Fan. If you don’t believe me, pretend you’re oblivious and ask her. I guarantee she’ll mention Song Fan in less than two sentences and act as if it has nothing to do with her, all with an innocent look on her face.”

Her newfound understanding of Song Yin’s manipulative skills made her speak with conviction.

The crowd was initially skeptical but decided to give it a try.

As Song Yin entered the classroom, all eyes were on her, making her feel uncomfortable and tempted to flee. However, she maintained a facade of composure and took her seat.

Soon, Student A leaned in and inquired, “Song Yin, we heard that you went to the police station yesterday. Can you tell us what happened?”

Song Yin quickly responded, “It’s nothing serious. There was just an issue involving some household servants, so I had to go handle it. My sister insisted on hiring a lawyer to handle it further, so it’s a bit complicated.”

In her response, she skillfully shifted the focus onto Song Fan, implying that her sister was meddling and causing unnecessary trouble, all while attempting to distance herself from the rumor.

However, this sentence was exactly the same as Ting Ting’s prediction.

Everyone wore expressions of “just as expected.” Song Yin observed them, feeling slightly puzzled. Why do these people seem to know what I am going to say?

At this moment, Ting Ting approached and said, “Song Fan has already filed a lawsuit for spreading rumors. Are you going to say that it was your servant who did it?”

Song Yin stammered, “It was indeed her doing. She sought revenge because my sister treated her badly, so she used my computer to post the rumor.”

In truth, there was nothing inherently wrong with this explanation. If Song Yin had stated it straightforwardly, people would likely have believed her.

However, Ting Ting was determined to make things difficult for her. She had informed others in advance about Song Yin’s likely response to the situation, causing them to subconsciously doubt Song Yin’s words and assume she was lying.

The first class was still Song Fan’s physics class, and she entered with Song Kai to prepare for the lesson. The students quickly returned to their seats, eyeing her nervously. After all, she was someone who could genuinely take legal action.

Song Fan was about to start writing on the blackboard when Ting Ting spoke up, “Miss Song, I’d like to ask how much preparation is needed to file a lawsuit?”

“This doesn’t seem related to the class,” Song Fan replied.

Tingting smirked at Song Yin and continued, “I know it’s not related to class, but as students, we should be aware of some common knowledge, like how to prepare for legal matters. So, we’d like Miss Song to instruct us.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yin began to tremble uncontrollably. She couldn’t hide her body’s trembling, fearing that Song Fan would say something detrimental to her.

However, Song Fan didn’t pursue the topic. She simply responded calmly, “For legal matters like lawsuits, you usually hire a lawyer. I have nothing to teach you, and I hope none of you ever have to deal with such rumors.”

Tingting smiled and added, “Miss Song is absolutely right. People who spread rumors should end up in the deepest level of hell.”

Song Yin kept her head down as low as possible, hoping this topic would pass quickly. What bothered her most was maintaining a facade of superiority in front of her classmates. However, this rumor had completely tarnished her reputation among her peers. The judgmental gazes and discussions were more agonizing than anything else.

After class, Song Yin couldn’t help but complain, “Song Fan, why did you have to bring up the lawsuit? Big Brother clearly said this matter is over.”
