Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 299 - 169 Charity Funds

At that moment, media outlets revealed that the classmate Fu Yang had hit was seriously triggered, and his condition had further deteriorated.

Moreover, a person claiming to be Zhou Ming’s classmate posted online, stating that Zhou Ming was kind-hearted and always willing to help his classmates, even sharing photos of Zhou Ming participating in the work-study program.

Once netizens saw Zhou Ming working in the work-study program, they immediately concluded that his family must be in poor financial standing, which was why he needed to work in the library during his free time.

The underprivileged are always the easiest to garner sympathy from the public, and with Shu Wan’s voice recording as proof, everyone thought, "This time it must be a sure thing, Shu Wan couldn’t be wronged now."

[How shameless, these are Shu Wan’s own words, isn’t she going too far, treating a poor kid like this?]

[Shu Wan has escaped the consequences a few times before, I don’t believe she can escape again this time. The truth proves that if you commit too many wrongs, you will eventually be exposed.]

[Is there a way to donate, that Zhou Ming is so pitiful. His family is already struggling, and now Shu Wan refuses to compensate.]

Due to the high profile of Shu Wan and Fu Yang themselves, coupled with the news clearly depicting a case of the strong bullying the weak, it instantly sparked major discussions.

Today, with the advancement of information technology, unlike ancient times, when fundraising required going door to door for donations.

Now, it is not necessary, as one can simply initiate fundraising on a platform, and anyone willing to help can donate.

Although there’s no set amount that each person must donate, many small donations can accumulate into a huge fund.

Zhou Ming’s mother saw the value in this, and she hired a professional team to write a tearful statement from the perspective of a mother, aiming to attract sympathy.

Given the already intense interest in the news, combined with this statement, Zhou Ming managed to raise over three million in just one night.

Although a substantial amount of donations was collected, the public’s condemnation of Shu Wan did not end, and they all expected her to give Zhou Ming the apology and compensation he deserved.

Some even barged into her classroom during a lecture to publicly shame her for her disgraceful behavior.

"Where did these people come from? Don’t worry, Shu Wan. I’ll get someone to escort them out right now."

Su Zhou, as usual, sat next to Shu Wan and immediately stood up to protect her when he saw someone disrespecting her.

However, Shu Wan did not accept his gesture. She pushed Su Zhou away and faced her accuser, "It is class time now, come outside with me."

Shu Wan’s response only made the accuser feel like he had caught her out, "Are you afraid that your teachers and classmates will find out how vicious you are?"

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and played the voice recording Shu Wan had sent to Zhou Ming.

The classroom fell silent, with only Shu Wan’s indifferent voice coming from the recording.

After the recording finished, the intruder looked at Shu Wan smugly, "The fact that someone like you was admitted to Qing University is truly Qing University’s shame."

After making his statement, the security arrived and promptly removed him, but not before he kept shouting to everyone in the classroom, "Be careful, Shu Wan might treat you the same way. She is a vicious, cold-hearted woman!!!"

It was only after this man was dragged out of the building that the classroom finally regained its peace.

Although Shu Wan did not care what others said, causing such a scene in a public place was not respectful to the professors or her classmates.

Shu Wan was about to apologize when the professor smiled at her and then turned to the students in the classroom, "Life is a textbook itself. What do you feel about what just happened?"

"Violence is not the answer. We should use communication to solve problems."

"Information on the internet is chaotic. We must learn to discern."

"As a public figure, managing one’s social image is essential."

Everyone stood from a different perspective, and naturally, their answers were different.

The professor listened quietly and then commented, "Everyone can have their own opinion, whether supportive or not. What is important is to base it on facts. Relying on online information to find the truth is the least wise thing to do."

Although the professor did not explicitly mention it, Shu Wan understood that he was speaking on her behalf.

A warmth filled Shu Wan’s heart. This world was like this, with both opposition and support, and she chose to see those who supported her.

After finishing her classes at Qing University, Shu Wan returned to the Estate.

Due to the controversy over the injury incident, Fu Yang had not been going to school these days.

Usually, when Shu Wan returned, Fu Yang would be holed up in his room, but today, unusually, he was waiting in the living room early.

When Shu Wan arrived, Fu Yang handed her a box, "Give this to them as compensation."

"What is this?"

Shu Wan opened the box and discovered it contained several property deeds.

Although Fu Yang was still young, he indeed owned quite a few properties.

And what lay in the box were property deeds for a few houses in the center of Imperial City.

"No need," Shu Wan handed the box back to Fu Yang, "It’s not possible you hurt him that severely."

"Whether it’s severe or not, shutting them up with money will solve the problem. Must you let others scold you?" Fu Yang hesitated a bit in his speech under Shu Wan’s clear gaze, "Must you let others scold me? I don’t want to be scolded."

"Such greedy people can never be satisfied."

Shu Wan had actually obtained evidence long ago. The reason she held onto it without releasing it for the past few days was mainly because she wanted to see how inflated Zhou Ming’s family would become.

Had it been someone other than Fu Yang who fought with Zhou Ming that day, it would likely have been a common person, and they might not even have been able to express their plight.

Shu Wan was prepared to give Zhou Ming’s family enough rope to let them taste the bitter fruit of their greed.

"What should we do?"

Fu Yang himself had not realized that whenever he faced a problem now, he habitually sought help from Shu Wan.

"Wait two days," Shu Wan calmly replied, "Don’t worry about them; just focus on your studies at school."

"OK."

These days Shu Wan was quite silent and rarely brought up the incident, which made Fu Yang feel anxious and restless, especially after seeing the online opinions; he thought about just solving the issue with money.

But now that Shu Wan said she would handle it, Fu Yang felt relieved immediately.

As Shu Wan had expected, Zhou Ming’s family’s greed was indeed great. In just three short days, through the donation and live-streaming platforms, they had received nearly 15 million in charity, and the number was still increasing.
