As Zhu Sha asked the question, Mo Shiyun felt that everyone was looking at her.
This made it even more difficult for Mo Shiyun to say anything.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Shiyun said, “Zhu Sha, I don’t feel well right now. I want to go to the infirmary for a while.”
Mo Shiyun dodged Zhu Sha’s question. She turned around and walked out of the classroom.
She didn’t know how to answer the question. She couldn’t admit or deny the fact. As a result, she had to find an excuse to leave.
After leaving the classroom, Mo Shiyun felt extremely confused and disorientated.
At that moment, Qiu Yizhen, who had seen the news, came looking for her.
“Shiyun. What are you doing? What’s the situation right now?” Qiu Yizhen asked urgently.
Mo Shiyun shook her head. She looked down as she didn’t know how to talk about the situation.
“It’s okay. Let’s find a place to talk about it.”
The school corridor was no place to have a conversation.
Qiu Yizhen dragged Mo Shiyun all the way to the infirmary. If the teachers found out that they were missing, they would have an excuse to explain their absence.
After arriving at the infirmary, Qiu Yizhen continued to question Mo Shiyun.
“Shiyun, what’s going on here? Are you in some kind of trouble?”
Mo Shiyun hung her head down. She didn’t look into Qiu Yizhen’s questioning eyes. After a moment, she nodded before admitting:
“That man… It seems like he’s my father.”
“Seems like?”
“When I was very young, my father ran off with another woman. I haven’t seen him for more than ten years.”
Mo Shiyun’s words brought back Qiu Yizhen’s memories.
Mo Shiyun’s experiences were incredibly similar to Qiu Yizhen’s.
They both came from single-parent families.
The misfortunes of both families had stemmed from the father having an affair.
However, the only difference between them was their situation right now. Qiu Yizhen had gone to live with her father whilst Mo Shiyun continued to live with her mother.
When Qiu Yizhen saw Mo Shiyun’s sad expression, she was gentle for once.
She reached out and patted Mo Shiyun on the shoulder before saying, “Don’t be sad. I understand how you feel. However, it’s not our choice that our fathers are terrible people. It’s their fault. Not ours!”
Mo Shiyun nodded before replying, “Thank you for not looking down on me because of this.”
“What are you talking about? Why would I look down on you for something like this? Do I seem like that kind of person? I said that you’re my good friend. Friends don’t dislike each other over this kind of thing!”
After a pause, Qiu Yizhen spoke again, “However, what are you going to do now? This is viral on the school forum at the moment.”
Because of this incident, Mo Shiyun’s image had been affected. There were many speculations around the situation. However, none of them had been confirmed yet.
“I don’t know how to deal with it…” Mo Shiyun replied. It was because of this exact reason, she had just escaped the classroom.
Qiu Yizhen thought about it for a moment before she suggested, “I think it’s better if you don’t admit it. Everyone thought that your father was a successful businessman before this. However, now that he turned into something that was different from our expectations, people will talk about it badly.”
Mo Shiyun had never really talked about her father. As a result, the things that people thought were only speculations.
However, as Mo Shiyun often went home with Jian Yunnao, everyone had initially guessed that Mo Shiyun lived quite close to Jian Yunnao.
Everyone knew the status and power that the Jian family held. They knew that the house prices near the Jian Residence were not affordable by an average family.
Anyone who lived in that area came from a well off family.
