"The real boss is here. I'm afraid this girl is going to have a hard time today."

"It's not a coincidence that the piano support was lost. I think she must have done it on purpose."

"Luckily Lu Bai came to the rescue today, otherwise Shen Shu's show would have been ruined because of her. You didn't hear how badly the audience cursed before the piano cover was opened just now."

Everyone was talking about it, most of them were blaming the girl who was sobbing with her head down and were angry for Shen Shu, a small number of people were watching the show the whole time, and some were neutral and wanted to know how the matter would be resolved in the end.

Zhang Yong from the Student Union was so excited that he was out of breath when he saw the person coming. This was his first time to meet Shen Shu face to face, and he felt more directly the huge impact her appearance brought to people.

"You...you are here, just let me handle this matter. I...I am Zhang Yong, the vice president of the Student Union."

He was usually very talkative and bossy in front of the student union members, but in front of Shen Shu he was so nervous that he stumbled and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He made a big fuss about this matter just to let everyone know that he was standing up for Shen Shu, so as to win her attention. Now that she was here in person, he had to show his best.

"Jia Zhu, you are expelled from the Student Union from today! Now hurry up and apologize to classmate Shen Shu, or you will suffer the consequences."

The girl's name was Jia Zhu. When she heard that it was Shen Shu, she lowered her head even lower in guilt. She knew that Shen Shu had a high reputation in the school and had many friends. If this incident today was thoroughly publicized, she was afraid that she would not be able to stay in school anymore.

Jia Zhu bit his lips tightly, tears stuck to his cheeks along with his hair, and he was at a loss as to how to start talking.

"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? It's like we're all bullying you! Apologize to Shen Shu right now!"

An inconspicuous girl in the crowd started to make a noise, and the others followed suit.

"Apologize!"

"He looks like a very scheming person. People like him are the most disgusting!"

"Hand over the piano. So many important leaders from the province came today. You almost ruined our school's performance."

The noise here was getting louder and louder, and many students who had just finished their performances came over to ask what was going on.

The girl who had just started the apology quickly exaggerated the story, making Jia Zhu the most heinous criminal in everyone's eyes. In just a few minutes, the situation had developed to a point where it was difficult to end.

"Wipe your tears first." Shen Shu took out a small pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zhu, who was sobbing with his head down.

Jia Zhu widened his red and swollen eyes in shock and looked up at Shen Shu in disbelief.

There was a chill in Shen Shu's eyes, but his gaze towards Jia Zhu was somewhat gentle. Seeing that she was stunned and had no reaction, Shen Shu took out a tissue and raised his hand to wipe her tears.

The onlookers fell silent upon seeing this, looking at the scene in front of them in surprise. The imagined dispute and Shura field did not happen, and Shen Shu actually comforted the person who framed her!

What's going on? Do they know each other or is there something else going on?

After wiping away the tears of the girl in front of him, Shen Shu took her arm and forcefully protected her behind him.

When Shen Shu looked at Jia Zhu, it was as if he saw himself in his previous life when he was in high school in Qi County.

In order to concentrate on her studies and avoid being targeted by the troublemakers in the school, she cut her long hair, which she had kept for many years, into short hair that reached her ears. She thought she had escaped the disaster, but she didn't expect that it was just the beginning of a nightmare.

Because all the students in the class were just idling around, she became an outlier in that environment because she was focused on studying. She was often verbally bullied in school for various trivial matters. At first, she would ask the teacher to solve the problem, but over time, the teacher became numb and stopped intervening.

"Have you ever wondered why they only bully you and not others?"

“Sometimes people need to reflect more on whether they have done something wrong.”

The impatient words of the head teacher are still deeply impressed on her.

Later, she became the target of public criticism in the entire grade. Many people made judgments about her based on one-sided accounts, and no matter how she explained, it was of no avail.

Time and space overlapped, and the moment she protected Jia Zhu behind her, it was as if she was protecting the helpless self in her previous life.

"I am grateful and happy that everyone has come together to seek justice for me. But I don't want to be misled and deceived by some people's words and make a final conclusion on a matter that has not yet been fully clarified."

Shen Shu glanced around and spoke calmly and firmly. Her voice seemed to contain a kind of power that calmed down everyone's radical emotions.

"I just felt that something was wrong with this matter. If Jia Zhu really did this on purpose, then he was too stupid."

"That's right. Anyone with any brains wouldn't do this so blatantly."

"I feel that the zither support must have been taken away by someone else, and Jia Zhu was wrongly accused."

"..."

The direction of public opinion changed instantly. Many people who had been on the sidelines began to speak out their opinions, while others who realized something was wrong began to think deeply.

Jia Zhu, who was standing behind Shen Shu, suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and the tears that had just stopped welling up again. She had not expected the situation to change so quickly, and a feeling of sadness and grievance that she was finally being wronged crept into her heart.

Zhang Yong from the Student Union froze when he heard the discussion. If there was really something else going on, wouldn't he be a joke? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Just as he stammered and wanted to say something, a girl stood up from the crowd. Everyone saw that it was the girl who had just taken the lead in asking Jia Zhu to apologize.

"It is well known that there is no surveillance in the background. Even if Jia Zhu said that she was wronged, so what? Who can prove her innocence? In my opinion, she did it, and then pretended to be pitiful to deceive everyone."

"Jia Zhu and I went to the same junior high school. She used to act like a victim and did a lot of disgusting things."

Her tone was so certain that it was as if she had witnessed the entire process of Jia Zhu's actions, causing many people who were already wavering in their ideas to completely stand on her side.

"Qin Dan, isn't it enough that you ruined my three years of junior high school?"
