Chapter 87 – Do You Need Help?

The book that had been smashed on the table fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Xu Wanwan knew that he had misunderstood her. She sighed softly and bent down to pick up the book, placing it on the table. “The person in the photo is the driver who drives me to school every day. Someone must have deliberately created a rumor.”
“Deliberately created a rumor?” Li Xuyi was skeptical. “Who would create a rumor about you for no reason?”
Xu Wanwan said helplessly, “I don’t know who would do that either, but I will investigate.”
Li Xuyi’s anger dissipated a little. As if it was unintentional, he pretended to ask, “Do you need my help?”
When she heard him say that, Xu Wanwan was stunned. “No need. I can do it myself.”
“Hmph, forget it if you don’t want to help.”
Li Xuyi’s expression was cold as he threw the sentence away with a sullen face and turned to leave.
Lin Jianan couldn’t stand the way he acted every time. She rushed up and argued, “Hey, this is very impolite of you. What right do you have to misunderstand Wanwan? Why aren’t you apologizing to her?”
“Which eye of yours saw me misunderstand her? The matter hasn’t been investigated clearly. Who knows if she’s innocent or not?” Li Xuyi’s attitude was not soft at all, saying so in a cold voice.
“What does it have to do with you whether Wanwan is innocent or not?”
Li Xuyi was suddenly stumped by the question. His expression was extremely cold. “Shut up.”
“I won’t! You’re too self-righteous. When Wanwan investigates the truth, you must apologize to her,” Lin Jianan said indignantly.
The two of them could not stand each other. Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xu Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. “Don’t be anxious. Let me investigate the truth first.”
Lin Jianan pouted arrogantly. “Hmph, I can’t be bothered with him.”
“Wanwan, hurry up and find out. When the truth comes out, let those people who spread rumors apologize to you.”
Xu Wanwan tidied up the messy books on the table and said calmly, “Let’s talk after class.”
This class happened to be Professor Chen’s class. The classroom suddenly became quiet and no one spoke anymore.
The bell rang, and Professor Chen walked into the classroom with a thick stack of materials. He turned on the computer on the podium, but what appeared on the projector was not related to the class.
On the screen, it was actually a hot post about Xu Wanwan on the campus forum!
For a moment, the people below instantly exploded, discussing this matter one after another.
“This is really exciting. Professor Chen has always liked Xu Wanwan the most. I don’t know what he will think when he sees all this dirt.”
“Professor Chen has always been strict. There is no room for sand in his eyes. Xu Wanwan is definitely done for this time.”
“That’s right. Her true colors should have been exposed a long time ago. All of us have been deceived miserably.”
Professor Chen clicked the thread open, his expression getting darker and darker. He could not help but get angry. “Who did this?”
The people below did not make a sound.
“It’s extremely boring! All of you went to university to study, not to gossip about such meaningless things!”
Professor Chen had been teaching for so many years, and this was the first time he got so angry, even saying some harsh words, “If I find out who did this, this person will not be able to stay in the university.”
The people below were all stunned.
“No way, the professor is actually favoring Xu Wanwan? What kind of logic is this?”
“I don’t understand either. Did this Xu Wanwan give the professor some benefits…”
“I think it’s possible. She even knows our principal. I even suspect that her title as the top scorer is fake.”
Lin Jianan was furious when she heard these words. She complained in a low voice, “What nonsense are they talking about? Aren’t they afraid that Professor Chen will get angry?”
“Wanwan, don’t be angry. The professor will definitely stand on your side.”
Xu Wanwan’s expression was solemn as she looked at the posts about her on the screen. A rare look of anger appeared in her eyes.
She thought that she had never offended anyone before. Why would someone always bring up her background?
She took a deep breath and tried her best to adjust her mood.
It had already happened. No matter how much she vented her emotions, it would not be of any use. She could only think of ways to suppress these rumors.
Professor Chen turned off his computer and growled, “All of you, calm down! Class is starting now. Don’t mention what happened just now.”
The professor was angry. The people who were discussing just now did not dare to make a sound and finally stopped.
It was not easy for Xu Wanwan to get through class. She took out her phone and was about to search for the address of the person who posted it. Before she could click on the website, she was stopped by Professor Chen.
“Xu Wanwan, come out with me.”
Many people looked at her with contempt.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and walked out of the classroom calmly.
As soon as she left, someone was eager to gossip. Li Xuyi gave that person a cold look and warned, “Let’s see who would dare talk more!”
They were not afraid of Xu Wanwan, but they were still afraid of Li Xuyi. Under his threat, they could only shut up.
As soon as they walked out of the classroom, Professor Chen asked impatiently, “How was Li Jingran doing things? How did he push you to the center of the storm?”
Xu Wanwan lowered her head slightly and said sincerely, “Professor Chen, this has nothing to do with Mr. Li. The person who picks me up from school every day is the Li family’s chauffeur.”
“I don’t know why those photos appeared in your class either. Let me apologize to you, I’m sorry.”
After saying that, she bent down and bowed to the professor.
Professor Chen quickly reached out to pull her back. “Alright, I understand. There must be some immoral students deliberately spreading rumors.”
“Don’t think too much. I’ll report this to the school. If there’s anything, contact me at any time.”
Xu Wanwan was grateful. “Alright, thank you, Professor.”
Others said that Professor Chen was fierce and strict, but Xu Wanwan felt that his kindness was not what others said about him being impartial. Instead, it was filled with humanity.
After hearing what the Professor said, she felt a lot better.
After school, Xu Wanwan went home and locked herself in her room. She turned on her computer and copied the ID of the person who had posted it.
She logged on to the website and seriously searched for messages.
At this moment, a few messages popped up in the QQ group chat.
Xia Momo: “Just A Rabbit. I saw the post that spread rumors at school today. I’m the Administrator of the Campus Forum. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Chen San: “Of course it’s to help delete that post. That person clearly has ulterior motives and is spouting nonsense. Quickly block him and forbid him from speaking.”
Liu He: “Just A Rabbit. I understand your problem too. If you need help from the Student Union, feel free to ask.”
Xu Wanwan was touched when she saw this.
Her mood didn’t get much better, but at least her friends were willing to believe her.
She quickly typed on the keyboard and replied, “Xia Momo, please help me block that person’s post. I want to enter her web address and find out who is spreading the rumors.”
Xia Momo replied instantly, “No problem, I’ve already blocked that ID and arranged for an Administrator to control public opinion. As long as there are similar posts, the system will automatically delete them..”
