Tong Yan followed Xu Xinduo to the classroom. On the way, he continued to pester Xu Xinduo about this issue.
Lou Xu couldn’t help laugh, while watching them. Just as she was about to start moving, she bumped into the arm of Wei Lan who was still peeking.
She quickly avoided it.
Wei Lan didn’t care either.
Shen Zhuhang happened to return to the class at this moment. When he came in, he saw the two of them gossiping. His expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say hello. After he walked in and picked up his book, he left the class again.
Lou Xu couldn’t help continue gossiping: “Shen Zhuhang has been acting embarrassed recently, hasn’t he?”
Wei Lan replied: “He applied for transferring to a new class and he will be leaving our class in a few days. After all, he is not on good terms with Tong Yan. There’s no way for him to stay in this class.”
“He used to wait at the school gate for Mu Qingyao, but now he rarely goes.”
“I bet… that they will break up sooner or later.”
Shen Zhuhang had recently begun ignoring Mu Qingyao.
The last time he actually tried helping Mu Qingyao vent her anger, things got out of hand and he ended up taking the blame for everything.
Li Xinning had been secretly talking with him for a long time after seeing Mu Qingyao’s behavior. She hinted that Mu Qingyao was just using him and he should stay away from her.
Moreover, Li Xinning also took out the pictures of Mu siblings to show Shen Zhuhang. After placing all three pictures together, Li Xinning asked: “If you didn’t know the three of them, whom would you think were actual siblings?”
Shen Zhuhang went silent for a long time, while looking at the pictures, he didn’t know what to say.
Li Xinning continued to tell Shen Zhuhang: “Who is Tong Yan? He is not a stupid person. He must have known something and deliberately helped Xu Xinduo out. Remember, how Tong Yan said that Xu Xinduo is the protagonist of the party. If Xu Xinduo is in fact Mu Qingyi’s actual sister, then wasn’t that statement completely true? Do you understand everything now?”
“But… isn’t it impossible for them to conceal their true identities? If Xu Xinduo is really their legitimate daughter, how could the Mu family claim that she is adopted? Is this something that people do? Moreover, what is the motive behind doing something like that?”
“First think about the Mu family’s situation and then think about how your relationship with Mu Qingyao will affect it. Have you figured it out?”
Afterwards, Shen Zhuhang asked Mu Qingyao about it and she repeatedly stated that there was no problem with her identity. Xu Xinduo was adopted because she looked like a member of the Mu family.
Although Shen Zhuhang doubted her, he said nothing more.
However, this incident planted a seed of doubt in his heart. Before it was even removed, Mu Qingyao got into another incident.
On that day (stadium incident), several people came to persuade Shen Zhuhang not to contact Mu Qingyao for some time. His relationship with Tong Yan was already stiff and he didn’t want to worsen it further so he simply decided not to contact Mu Qingyao. During this time, Mu Qingyao sent him several messages. Seeing that he didn’t reply, she also stopped sending him any more messages.
The two people thus entered a state of cold war.
