Chapter 1238 Tell you good news
"We hope the judge is fair and impartial, and we also hope the case will be heard publicly so that everyone can attend!"
"..."
As Shen Yingying posted her second message, the forum became lively again. Her post soon accumulated hundreds of comments, the first time so many people from Tsinghua and Peking Universities had paid attention to one thing.
The person who spread the rumor, Yan Mei, quickly saw Shen Yingying's post and left a comment: "Shen Yingying, don't think that just because so many people are paying attention to you, you've won. The outcome of the case is still uncertain!"
Shen Yingying replied: "Let me remind you, you keep saying that I'm being kept, but you have to catch a thief red-handed or caught in the act. How could I be the only one being kept?"
Her reply was immediately followed by comments from others: "Yes, it's always been rumor-mongers saying that Shen Yingying is being kept by a sugar daddy, but who is keeping her?"
"I second that, I second that..."
It was followed by a long list of seconders.
Yan Mei, emboldened by some unknown source, replied, "If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. My lawyer is already collecting evidence, and I will win the case."
Shen Yingying replied calmly, "Then I hope your lawyer can do a good job and not let you down."
Yan Mei stared at her phone screen with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Shen Yingying, just you wait and see."
Shen Yingying did not reply again. In her eyes, Yan Mei was just a clown, and there was no need to waste so much energy on a clown.
……
Yan Mei's mother suddenly received a call from her lawyer, whose voice was heavy: "Ms. Yan, we've found the license plate number; it belongs to the Qin family."
"The Qin family?" At this moment, Madam Yan thought it was just an ordinary Qin family and said without any concern, "No matter what the other party's surname is, you must help my daughter win the lawsuit."
The lawyer said with difficulty, "Ms. Yan, the Qin family I'm referring to is the Qin family, which is the richest family in the world. Shen Yingying's older sister married the eldest son of the Qin family. As Shen Xuening's younger sister, it's impossible for Shen Yingying to be kept by a sugar daddy."
Mother Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she staggered slightly, feeling as if a great disaster was about to befall her: "What? Say it again!"
The lawyer patiently repeated, "Ms. Yan, I think we should try to reach a private settlement, otherwise your Yan family might..."
Without a word, everyone understood what was meant. Although the Yan family still had some wealth, compared to the Qin family, they were like ants compared to an elephant. How could an ant possibly twist an elephant's thigh? On the contrary, the Qin family could easily crush them.
Mother Yan immediately changed her attitude, as if her previous arrogant demeanor was an illusion: "We must do our best to reach a reconciliation. You go and talk to them. We will definitely meet any conditions that the Yan family can satisfy, and we must resolve this matter satisfactorily."
The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was under a lot of pressure to fight those people in court: "I understand."
The mother nodded and hung up the phone.
Slumped onto the sofa, Yan's mother first called Yan's father. After learning the truth, Yan's father angrily reprimanded the mother and daughter, and then quickly sought connections to resolve the issue. Yan's mother then called Yan Mei.
Yan Mei was quite happy to receive her mother's call: "Mom, have you found new evidence?"
Mother Yan advised, "Meimei, go and apologize to Shen Yingying. Be sure to ask for her forgiveness, otherwise our Yan family will forget about you."
Yan Mei was stunned when she heard this: "Mom, are you kidding me? The trial is in two days. You want me to go and reconcile with Shen Yingying? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
The strict mother scolded, "What face do you still care about? If the Yan family is gone, you'll just be an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. What future can you have?"
Yan Mei sensed something was wrong: "Mom, what do you mean? What do you mean the Yan family is gone? Shen Yingying is just a kept woman, how could her sugar daddy have such power?"
The mother said in a calm voice, "Meimei, Shen Yingying could not possibly be a kept woman. Let me tell you, her own sister married the eldest son of the richest family, the Qin family. She has more money than she can spend. Why would she need to be kept? You must have been misled."
"What?" Yan Mei exclaimed incredulously, "Shen Yingying's sister married Young Master Qin? Who told you that?"
Mother Yan said, "The lawyer called and told me that they investigated the information about the luxury car in your photo, found out that the car belonged to the Qin family, and then investigated her sister's affairs."
Yan Mei didn't believe it at all: "Impossible! Shen Yingying is a girl from a poor, remote village. How could her sister marry into the richest family? The investigation must be wrong."
After searching online to confirm, Yan's mother called Yan Mei and said, "There's no mistake. Her sister is still the top blogger, Shen Mujin. You can search online to see for yourself. Neither their own family nor the Qin family would allow Shen Yingying to be kept by a sugar daddy."
"Impossible, impossible..." Yan Mei was devastated. How could Shen Yingying have such a good family background? "I've seen her information. She comes from a remote mountain village in W City. How could her family be so rich!"
Mother Yan was extremely anxious. The trial hadn't started yet, and the person hadn't been completely offended, so there was still room for maneuver. But if they waited until the trial, there would be no room for maneuver anymore: "Meimei, Mom won't lie to you. Let's go find Shen Yingying and reconcile."
“Mom…” Yan Mei was unwilling to bow down to Shen Yingying. Wouldn’t that be a slap in her face? She was such a proud person, she couldn’t bear the thought of it. “Mom, I don’t want to go.”
"If you don't go, our business might plummet, and you know what the consequences will be." Mother Yan was terrified just thinking about it.
“I…” Yan Mei gritted her teeth, “I’ll go, but Shen Yingying is very likely not to agree to a settlement.”
"Make our stance clear first, and we'll discuss the rest later." The strict mother knew what was important.
Yan Mei's face was full of resentment: "I understand."
The strict mother instructed, "Go buy a gift first, then invite Shen Yingying to dinner. We need to show our attitude."
Yan Mei reluctantly replied, "I understand."
……
Shen Yingying is doing her homework in her room. Yes, there is homework in college too, but of course, you don't have to do it.
As she was writing intently, there was a knock on the door, followed by Chu Mi's voice: "Yingying, someone is looking for you. You'll never guess who it is."
Shen Yingying got up and opened the door. When she was alone in the dormitory, she would lock the door from the inside. Everyone else would ask, "Who's looking for me?"
Chu Mi pointed outside and whispered, "Yan Mei is looking for you."
Shen Yingying was indeed surprised: "Why would she contact me? Wasn't she determined to fight me to the death on the forum last night?"
Chu Mi had many guesses in her mind, but she couldn't figure it out: "I guess... I can't guess either. Do you want to see me?"
Hearing their conversation, their other two roommates immediately came out of their room: "Yingying, what are you planning to do?"
Shen Yingying thought for a moment. There was no rule that the defendant and the plaintiff could not meet, so she said, "Let's meet and see what she's going to say."
"I'll go open the door." Chu Mi turned and walked towards the door.
Shen Yingying and her two roommates went and sat on the sofa in the living room. Shen Yingying sat in the main seat, and the other two sat together to encourage her.
Chu Mi quickly replied, followed by Yan Mei, who was clearly angry but had no choice but to give in.
Shen Yingying didn't say anything, just stared at Yan Mei with an unwavering gaze.
Yan Mei's heart raced as she felt Shen Yingying's gaze was very intimidating, unlike that of ordinary girls. "Shen, Shen Yingying, this is for you." She placed the gift on the coffee table in front of Shen Yingying.
Shen Yingying was a little confused and glanced at the gift box: "What does this mean?"
Yan Mei gritted her teeth and said, "I... I want to reconcile with you. This is a gift to apologize to you."
"You want to reconcile with me?" Shen Yingying was clearly surprised. "Last night you were saying on the forum that you would fight me to the death, but today you're begging for peace. Do you have multiple personalities?"
These words made her two roommates want to laugh, but the atmosphere was too serious for them to do so. They were struggling to hold it in.
Yan Mei hated Shen Yingying to death. She was clearly a Cinderella, yet she had such a good older sister. What kind of luck did she have? "I didn't know some things yesterday, but I know now. I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yingying understood that the Yan family must have investigated her sister: "My reputation is already ruined, but you want to reconcile. What will everyone think of me?"
Yan Mei managed to squeeze out the words: "I will publicly apologize."
"Yan Mei," Shen Yingying said seriously, "you started this game, but from now on, I'll decide when to stop. No matter what you do, I will not reconcile with you."
Yan Mei panicked a little: "Shen Yingying, I really know I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment, it wasn't intentional."
"It wasn't intentional?" Chu Mi couldn't help but ask. "You haven't had time to delete those comments on Tieba yet, have you? But it's no use deleting them. We've already taken screenshots and saved them. These are all evidence to convict you."
Yan Mei panicked: "I really know I was wrong. We were classmates after all, please don't be so cruel."
Shen Yingying suddenly smiled, her expression laced with sarcasm: "Yan Mei, let me ask you, if I didn't have a sister and brother-in-law like that, you wouldn't have come to apologize to me, would you?"
Everyone present was intelligent; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get into this school. They understood what she meant immediately.
Yan Mei didn't know what to say, so she simply remained silent.
Shen Yingying seemed to see through Yan Mei's thoughts: "If I were helpless and alone, if I were timid and cowardly, your slander would be enough to make me pay with my life. Do you think a gift or an apology would be enough for you to get away unscathed?"
Yan Mei's body trembled involuntarily. Shen Yingying was about the same age as her, so why did she feel so oppressive? "That's not what I meant. I just know I was wrong, right? Can't I correct my mistakes?"
Shen Yingying revealed a mocking expression: "You don't know you're wrong, you know you can't bear the consequences of this matter, no, your family can't bear them, so you come to apologize to me."
Yan Mei trembled. She thought Shen Yingying was so clever, seeing right through her little scheme: "Shen Yingying, I know I did something wrong. Now I want to repent. I hope you can give me a chance, okay?"
Shen Yingying firmly refused: "No, I told you, you've ruined my reputation. Now I'm pointed at and talked about wherever I go. I have no grudge against you, but because of you, why should I have to endure all this?"
Chu Mi chimed in, "Yes, a lot of boys are harassing Yingying these days. Yingying hasn't done anything wrong, so why should she have to suffer like this?"
One of her roommates said, "If Yingying weren't so strong, if her family wasn't well-off enough to afford a lawyer, she would have been bullied to death by you."
Another roommate said, "Yan Mei, you've really gone too far. Think about it, if what happened to Yingying happened to you, could you accept a reconciliation?"
Yan Mei didn't speak; she was very flustered and didn't know what to say.
Shen Yingying said, "Go back. I don't agree to a settlement. See you in court."
Yan Mei knew that Shen Yingying would not agree to a settlement, so she was not surprised by this outcome. But seeing that Shen Yingying was adamant about not agreeing to a settlement, she got angry: "Shen Yingying, is it necessary to be so extreme? Do you want me to die before you're satisfied?"
Shen Yingying looked directly at Yan Mei: "It's not that I want you to die. What good would it do me if you died? I just want a fair and just outcome."
Yan Mei couldn't help but take a step back: "Shen Yingying, you..."
Shen Yingying stood up, put the gift back in Yan Mei's hands, and then opened the door: "Please come in."
Yan Mei left in a huff.
Shen Yingying took a deep breath; she was so annoyed.
Chu Mi and her three roommates quickly gathered around to comfort and console Shen Yingying.
Looking at her roommates, Shen Yingying realized that not everyone around her was like Yan Mei. With that thought, she gradually relaxed: "Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
"Then I want to eat maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot)."
"I want to eat egg pancakes."
"I want to eat sushi!"
Shen Yingying waved her hand and said, "All requests will be granted!"
……
Yan's mother waited for Yan Mei at the entrance of the dormitory building, glancing into the building every now and then. As soon as Yan Mei came out, she saw her and rushed over to greet her: "Meimei, how is it?"
Yan Mei shook her head, still shaken, and said, "Mom, Shen Yingying doesn't agree to a reconciliation, what should we do?"
"Go back and ask your father for advice." Mother Yan wasn't too surprised by the result. If Shen Yingying were easy to talk to, she wouldn't have chosen to sue.
Yan Mei asked, "Mom, if we really go to court, will our family be finished?"
Mother Yan sighed, her heart heavy: "If those competitors find out that we've fallen out with the Qin family, they'll definitely take advantage of our misfortune, and our family will certainly be affected."
Yan Mei regretted it: "Mom, I didn't know Shen Yingying came from such a good family."
Yan's mother looked back at the dormitory building helplessly: "It's too late to say anything now, let's go back and talk about it."
……
Shen Yingying took her roommates out for a late-night snack and immediately called Shen Xuening: "Sister, sister, I have good news for you."
Hearing Shen Yingying's excited voice, as bright as a nightingale's, Shen Xuening asked, "What good news?"
Shen Yingying told Shen Xuening about Yan Mei coming to her to beg for reconciliation: "Sister, I didn't agree. I didn't budge an inch. If Yan Mei had power and influence in her family, she would be a menace. To be honest, I don't know what she was thinking. She hung up on me for no reason."
