She said, "Chen Feng, it looks like you went home and asked your mom about this, and she cried and denied it, even saying we were slinging mud, right? Fine, fine. I can understand you trusting your mom more, but I wouldn’t have said something like that without proof. After school today, you can come with us to see the evidence."

Last night, she had already agreed with Shen Yi that they planned to let Chen Feng know the truth, so Qin Jiao saying this today was just pushing things along. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Seeing how certain she was, Chen Feng hesitated.

Qin Jiao continued, "Don’t keep everyone from class. Besides, you don’t want to keep being stared at here, do you?"

After she spoke, she called to Shen Yi, and they walked toward the classroom together.

With a dark expression, Chen Feng followed behind them.

Once they reached the classroom, Chen Feng returned to his seat with an awful look on his face. Over here, Qin Jiao lowered her voice and asked Shen Yi, "Have you really decided to let him see those photos?"

"Yes. He has the right to know. I won’t do anything else."

Shen Yi added that explanation because he was worried she would think he was a bad person.

But in reality, while he wouldn’t actually do anything to Chen Feng, revealing this to him at such a critical point in their senior year would cause the beliefs he’d held his entire life to shatter, throwing him into a state of turmoil.

’If it affects his college entrance exams... well, that would have nothing to do with me, Shen Yi.’

’I know I’m still bad to the bone. In my past life, my family suffered such a miserable fate. Even if Chen Feng didn’t know at first, he was in no way innocent.’

’He might not have known at the very beginning, but after he got his hands on the Shen Family’s assets, could he still have been unaware?’

’Impossible.’

’It’s just that by then, he had too much. No one in that position would have been willing to let it go.’

’If he knows the truth from the very beginning, then how he chooses to act will reveal his true character.’

Shen Yi was resolute about what he wanted to do, but he didn’t want Qin Jiao to misunderstand him. The first thing he did upon being reborn was to consider everything from her perspective, carefully choosing his words and actions.

Now that he had a chance to start over, he was desperate to leave a good impression on Qin Jiao.

So at that moment, a trace of apprehension flickered in Shen Yi’s dark eyes.

Qin Jiao, however, didn’t notice. For her part, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with letting Chen Feng know the truth.

’If Chen Feng can turn around, condemn his mother for being a mistress, firmly draw a line with Shen Zhengfeng, refuse to go after the Shen Family’s assets, and work hard to build his own life, then I’ll actually respect him more for it.’

’But if Chen Feng, knowing full well what his mother did, still chooses to stand by her side...’

’Then from that moment on, nothing he does will be worthy of anyone’s pity.’

Qin Jiao chewed on her pen, not speaking immediately. Just as a very nervous Shen Yi was about to explain further, she said, "Anyway, no matter what, don’t let your parents’ issues affect you. The monthly exams are coming up again soon. You have to prepare well for every single one. Don’t end up disappointing Grandpa Du."

Hearing this, Shen Yi let out a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his tone was firm.

"Yeah, I definitely won’t let it affect my studies. And for the final monthly exam, I’m going to be in the same exam room as you."

To be in the same exam room meant catching up to Qin Jiao’s academic rank.

The higher the rankings, the harder it was to climb.

Seeing him like this, Qin Jiao was relieved.

Meanwhile, Lin Nian had found out indirectly about what happened at the school gate that morning. When she heard that Chen Feng was going with Qin Jiao and the others to see the evidence after school, she immediately grew anxious.

During the lunch break, Lin Nian said to Chen Feng in a low voice, "Ah Feng, they’re definitely trying to trick you. Don’t fall for it!"
