Chapter 40 Rumors Arise

  Su Chen once again saw Su Qing, who had returned from outside, pointing to the new car and indicating that he would personally send Su Qing to and from school in the future. As long as he was free, he wanted to follow Su Qing until everything was completely resolved. At first, Su Qing disagreed, but under Su Chen's persistence and threat of telling their parents, she reluctantly agreed.

  Afterwards, the brother and sister's outstanding appearance and noble temperament made them idols in the hearts of university students.

  Many girls, either boldly or subtly, expressed their affection to Su Chen. Even Su Qing, who was still a child, received many letters, flowers and gifts. Su Qing simply gave the gifts to her classmates around her and threw the letters into the trash can. Despite Su Qing's attitude, there were still people who did not tire of this.

  Just as everyone's excitement was slowly cooling down, someone started spreading the news that Su Qing's father was a general and her family was very wealthy. Su Qing was originally a beauty who appeared once in a hundred years, and with someone intentionally spreading such news, she suddenly became the object of pursuit for the boys.

  Su Qing's arrival anywhere would attract a crowd of onlookers and gossip, and every day as soon as she arrived at the classroom, she was buried under a pile of gifts. Even her classmates' attitudes underwent a huge change, speaking to Su Qing in a flattering tone, and even the counselor and teachers were exceptionally considerate towards her.

  What left Su Qing speechless was that many classmates with a good background wanted to get close to the Su family and increase their own status in the family. Ordinary classmates were even more exaggerated, and some people asked Su Qing for help when finding jobs after graduation, which made Su Qing's head spin. These people really thought ahead, now they are just freshmen and have already started pulling strings for things that will happen after graduation.

  Everyone is a classmate and needs to meet frequently. Su Qing smiles every day and greets everyone, receiving the hypocritical courtesy of others with ulterior motives. Su Qing feels that if this continues, she will go crazy, smiling too much every day, her facial muscles are stiff.

  Just as Su Qing was worried about how to reduce everyone's enthusiasm, and didn't want to be distracted by having to deal with the thorny issue of the Fu family again. Another rumor about Su Qing had spread.

  The rumor's content is the opposite of before, saying Su Qing is not favored in the Su family, and also that the Su family is just a salary-earning family, not as wealthy as rumored. Everyone looking at Su Qing's usual dressing style, which isn't luxury brand handbags, gradually has people questioning the previous rumors.

  Su Qing heard the rumors and just smiled slightly, without taking it to heart. Others can say whatever they want, Su Qing won't feel a bit of pain or itch.

  But then again, the performance of a group of jumping clowns has no lethal effect on Su Qing, but it can't be let go either. In case someone doesn't know what's good for them and kicks their nose in the face, it's better to give them some warning early on to avoid trouble later.

  However, when Su Qing got the report from Xiao Zi's investigation of the bees, she surprisingly found that the originator of the first rumor about herself was not found.

  Who would have such great ability, Su Qing immediately thought of the Fu family. It seems that the other party's investigation has not made any progress and now wants to create confusion for herself. In that case, Su Qing decided to throw out the bait a little earlier.

  As for the spreader of another rumor, Su Qing was amused and annoyed when she found out. She didn't expect the world to be so small that her cousin Su Lisha, who disliked her, actually met Kong Jinghua, who extremely disliked Su Qing, at a small gathering. Not only that, but the two also hit it off and became good friends.

  Su Qing became extremely popular in school due to rumors, and even the boys who originally followed Kong Jinghua like a shadow became Su Qing's fans. How could the proud Kong Jinghua tolerate such things? The two people who also wished for Su Qing to be unlucky naturally felt unhappy about it. So they conspired to spread negative rumors about Su Qing in school.

  Su Qing knew that it was these two people who were playing tricks on her after changing her mind to teach the two of them a lesson, there will be a day when they will suffer the consequences.

  This grudge of Su Qing is not unreported, it's just that the timing has not arrived. Those two poor foolish people have been used and still don't know, at this moment they are happily drinking celebratory wine.

  The rumors about Su Qing didn't stop there, and someone even brought up the fact that she had won 40 million yuan from betting on stones to refute the previous rumors. Afterwards, all sorts of news about Su Qing emerged, some true and some false, becoming a topic of discussion among classmates during breaks or after meals. Su Qing's fame grew even more, with some bold classmates even going to her directly to ask for confirmation of the truth.

  Su Qing couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore and decided not to go to school for a while. She thought that when her crazy classmates had forgotten about the matter a bit, she wouldn't feel so annoyed and would return then.

  It so happened that Su Chen was surrounded and pursued by a group of girls who admired her at Peking University, which made her physically and mentally exhausted. She also asked for leave from school to go home and rest. So the brother and sister began to avoid trouble together at home.

  During this time, Su Qing also met with her good friends Chen Shan and Yang Yingxue on weekends to chat and stroll around. Originally, these were things that girls did together, but Su Chen was worried about his sister and insisted on going along. No matter how much Su Qing guaranteed it wouldn't be a problem, in the end she had no choice but to let Su Chen follow her.

  Su Chen became the servant of three girls, buying drinks when they were thirsty, paying for meals, and carrying things after shopping. It's said that Su Chen is a famous all-around handsome boy in school, and it's not easy to find someone like him. Those who are good at studying are often bookworms, but those who aren't bookworms don't look as handsome and charming as Su Chen. Even those who are good at sports don't look as good as Su Chen. As Su Chen followed along, he attracted the excited screams of many girls.

  A group of people got tired and rested at a roadside food stall, eating something to replenish their energy. Su Chen went to order food, and the remaining three girls started chatting.

  "Suzi, you and your brother have been at home for a week now. When are you planning to go back to school?" Chen Shan asked Suzi.

  A week ago, Chen Shan received a call from Su Qing saying that she would be taking a leave of absence at home for a while. Chen Shan felt very surprised. Su Qing was such a good kid, but it turned out that she had skipped school. It wasn't until later that the reason became clear.

  "Although the university's management is quite relaxed and you've taken time off, you can't just not go to school." Yang Yingshu said with some concern for Su Qing.

  The Yang family is an educational family, and Yang Yingshu's father, Yang Zhentian, was appointed president of the Central University of Foreign Languages after being transferred back to Beijing. Growing up in the academic atmosphere of the Yang family, Yang Yingshu felt that students should not skip classes, especially when her father discussed at home how many students did not attend classes, which was very worrying.

  "I also want to go, but the school is full of rumors about me. Now I'm just pretending not to see or hear anything, hiding for a while and hoping that there will be new topics soon so everyone can forget about me."

  Su Qing replied helplessly.

  Su Qing was thinking about whether or not to find trouble with Kong Jinghua and make her the center of attention, diverting everyone's attention away from herself.

  "You're really pitiful, I think we should investigate who's spreading the rumors and lock them up for a few days to teach them a lesson." Chen Shan said viciously as she looked at Su Qing's pitiful appearance.

  "You're really ruthless, maybe they were just careless." Ying Xue was an optimistic person and always thought things would turn out for the best. Saying this now was mainly to comfort Su Qing, but it wasn't something a foolish person could guess - that someone was intentionally looking for trouble with Su Qing.

  "It's possible that speaking well is unintentional, but speaking ill is definitely intentional. Sometimes people can't be too kind either." Chen Shan said with a long sigh, as if she was deeply moved.

  "But I think you're already very kind, when something happens in school, you don't hold it against anyone, you're famous for being a good person in school." Su Qing said with a smile to Chen Shan.

  "Those were just trivial matters that didn't harm me. And what you're facing now is a different story altogether." Chen Shan's retort was right on the mark.

  "When you can spare someone, spare them. Hope they will change their evil ways and return to the right path. Otherwise, next time it's their bad luck."

  It's said that Su Qing made them wish they were dead rather than alive.

  Su Chen also returned from her conversation, and the four of them happily finished a meal together.

  Just as they were about to part ways, Su Qing called out to them.

  "Thanks for coming out with me today, you two. I'm already in high school now and the studies are quite stressful. If there's anything I can help with in your studies, be sure to let me know."

  "We won't be polite, now that you mention it, I remembered, if your notes are still there, give them to me." Chen Shan had been thinking about Su Qing's notes for a long time, but she had forgotten to ask for them several times.

  "Last time the school needed too many students, my brother helped me photocopy a lot. The original and photocopies are all at home, you can just go get them if you need them." Su Qing agreed readily.

  That night, Chen Shan went to Su's house and took away all of Su Qing's high school notes, which also included several photocopies. Chen Shan said she was going to take them back to share with her classmates.
