Shi Qian turned around and left.
Shi Muxue looked like she was about to cry.
The onlookers felt as though Shi Qian was too overbearing.
“Shi Qian’s words are too ugly and arrogant!”
“With so many people protecting her, how can she not be arrogant!”
The girl called Luo Fan said, “Muxue, you didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you swallowing your pride?! She even slandered you for sending a private message to Xu Muchen’s wife. This is too ridiculous! Ask her to show the evidence.”
Another girl also said, “That’s right, Muxue. How can we let her slander you like this?”
Shi Muxue repleid, “Forget it. This incident started because of me. I said something wrong, and everyone misunderstood me.”
Shi Muxue was filled with grievances.
“Shi Muxue is too kind. Shi Qian’s words are so unpleasant, but Shi Muxue can still tolerate it.”
“What can we do? Shi Qian has Young Master Sheng and President Xu protecting her. Even if Shi Muxue’s family background is good, how can she compare to the Sheng family and President Xu?”
“Sigh, that is true.”
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, the head of the Computer Science Department, Tan Weiming, suddenly appeared. He called out to Shi Muxue in an unpleasant tone.
When Shi Muxue heard the call, she looked at Tan Weiming. “Director Tan, what is the matter?”
“Muxue, how can you slander a classmate before things are clear?” Tan Weiming rebuked with a dark expression.
At this moment, the people who were about to disperse suddenly stopped in their tracks.
How come the director also said the same thing?
Shi Muxue was already filled with anger, and this time, Tan Weiming was looking for her because of Shi Qian. She became furious that she didn’t want to speak.
Luo Fan immediately defended Shi Muxue. “Director Tan, Muxue didn’t do it on purpose. She thought that Shi Qian was there to attend the Absolute Subversion Conference. It was someone else who spread the rumors!”
Tan Weiming retorted, “It wasn’t intentional! So it was not intentional to send a private message to CEO Xu’s wife, Aileen, to slander Shi Qian?!”
Luo Fan was speechless. How could Director Tan claim that?
“Director, where is the proof?”
“President Xu has already shown us the proof!” Tan Weiming responded, and then, looked at Shi Muxue. “Fortunately, President Xu and his wife had a good relationship. They trusted each other. Otherwise, you would have caused trouble for countless people.”
Everyone heard this. All of the crowd strangely looked at Shi Muxue.
“Shi Muxue really sent a private message to CEO Xu’s wife on social media! She must have said that on purpose last Friday.”
“If Shi Muxue really sent that private message, then it was truly intentional. Tsk tsk! This reversal is a major deal!”
“But why would Shi Muxue do that? She has no enmity with Shi Qian!”
“That is hard to say!”
Shi Muxue did not expect things to turn out like this. She did not expect Tan Weiming to criticize her in public. But no matter what, she would never admit it.
A tear rolled down from the corner of Shi Muxue’s eyes. She choked and said, “So, I can’t even explain myself. No matter what I say, you won’t believe me, Director Tan. I won’t say anything then. I will just quietly be the bad person in this situation.”
Tan Weiming wasn’t willing to do this either, but it was Xu Muchen’s idea to expose this matter in public. The other heads were worried about Xu Muchen, so they had no choice but to agree.
Shi Muxue’s performance had always been good, and Tan Weiming did not want her to look too bad, so his tone softened. “No one said that you’re a bad person. 1 just hope that you won’t be too rash in the future and understand the truth.”
“The truth!” Shi Muxue smiled bitterly.. “Who could truly know the truth? Who could say it clearly?”
