Chapter 578: Slapping Evidence on Her Face

“Chen Yuan isn’t back in school yet and even my friends don’t know about this. Only Wu Jie had lunch with her yesterday.”

Qiao Nian sounded calm and indifferent, but also extremely piercing. “I don’t think there’s a need to blow things up this way! Do you think I told Wu Jie this, or she did?”

Shen Jingyan’s political ups and downs all these decades were not for nothing.

He already knew what had happened after she said that.

His expression sank as he tried to hide the fury in his eyes. He didn’t say anything as he turned to face Qiao Chen with eyes as cold as ice.

Qiao Chen looked extremely anxious. She could barely stand still and her tears were about to fall. She tried explaining, “I… I did talk about Wei Qi’s matter. But I was just chatting with my classmates and accidentally spilled it. I didn’t join in the conversation and didn’t mean to blow this up.”

She was sniffling and sobbing, looking very pitiful indeed.

Qiao Nian had run out of patience long ago. After hearing what she said, she took her cell phone out and tossed it in front of Shen Jingyan.

“This is regarding the post on the school’s forum. I’ve deleted the post itself, but I kept the IDs of a few people involved. They’re all close friends of Qiao Chen’s, you can have a look. Also, there’s a screenshot at the back. It’s a chat between her and someone with the ID name Sun Ascension. It was sent at eight in the morning, and she had forwarded the post to get her to check it out.”

Qiao Chen never expected her to be able to get hold of this. Her face went pale and her eyes were full of fear. Her fists had long been clenched.

How did Qiao Nian get hold of her chat records?!

Qiao Nian couldn’t be bothered to look into her eyes. She had one hand on her hip and pulled her cap slightly lower. With just a cold side profile, she said, “You can say that you spilled it accidentally when chatting with your friends in person, but did you also accidentally send this message? You were on the phone with Wu Jie for over 10 minutes last night, was that also an accidental call?”

Every last bit of color faded from Qiao Chen’s face. Her eyes were wide with panic, and she felt like she was losing her balance.

“I…”

Faced with Shen Jingyan’s stern look, she opened her mouth, but not a word escaped.

As the fear gripped her, she gripped Shen Jingyan’s elbow and hurriedly explained, “She called me to ask about the examinations. We didn’t talk about much before her mother went to her and she hung up. That post… I stumbled upon it this morning and just forwarded it to my friend. I didn’t get them to create trouble on that post…”

She looked at the girl in the corner and gave her a warning side-eye. She then tightened her grasp on Shen Jingyan’s elbow and said sadly, “Uncle, trust me, I really had no idea about this. You can ask Wu Jie, we were just talking about the examinations last night.”

“There’s no need to ask her.” Shen Jingyan was expressionless. He didn’t blame her, but the coldness in his eyes already sent a chill down Qiao Chen’s spine.

She was as pale as could be and sobbing so pitifully. Her vulnerability could even tug at your heartstrings. “Uncle, I…”

Shen Jingyan didn’t look at her. He shook her off and turned towards Principal Yu sitting solemnly at the side. “Principal, regarding the rumors about Qiao Nian fighting going around school…”
