Chapter 124 Confidence: "Someone is trying to scheme against me!"

Chapter 124 Confidence: "Someone is trying to scheme against me!"

The plane arrived at Yuncheng Airport from Gangcheng at nine o'clock in the morning. Ye Hantao had a required class in the morning, so she went directly to school after landing.

Zhou Mingsheng parked the car at the school gate, turning his gaze away from the students and teachers coming and going. "Tao Tao, I'll take your luggage home first, and I'll pick you up this afternoon."

He paused for a moment, then said, "My parents and great-aunt are also at home."

Although there was a medical team on the cruise ship, the whole family trusted my aunt's pulse diagnosis more.

Moreover, there were some things that weren't fully explained in the video last night, so it would be more reassuring to discuss them face-to-face at home.

Ye Hantao shared her class schedule with her family as soon as school started, so she didn't need to tell her older brother what time she would finish class in the afternoon. "Okay, I'll come straight to the main gate after class. Brother, drive carefully on your way home."

"Okay." Zhou Mingsheng bent down and handed Tao Tao two square boxes that were placed on the back seat of the car. They contained pastries that had been packed from the cruise ship.

There are more than a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants on the cruise ship No. 1207, and its pastries are world-renowned.

The sunlight was bright, and the morning sun was quite strong.

Ye Hantao got out of the car and jogged into the shade of the sycamore trees, choosing a shady spot to walk towards the dormitory building.

The short distance, just a dozen steps, drew twice as many scrutinizing glances as usual.

This was also within Ye Hantao's expectations.

If she sees someone she knows online who turns out to be the owner of a brand she frequently uses, she'll definitely take a second look.

With forty minutes left before class, Ye Hantao decided to take the pastries back to her dormitory.

"Ahhhhh! I saw this peach blossom cake on the live stream last night and I've wanted to eat it ever since!" Le Chu took a big bite and mumbled, "Thank you, Peach!"

Ye Hantao handed the autographed photo to Tang Jiahui, saying, "Don't forget to treat us to hot pot with your autograph!"

Tang Jiahui happily accepted the autograph, patting her chest and promising, "I'll go to the cafeteria to make a reservation after class."

There are ten canteens in the school. The seventh canteen launched a hot pot set meal last semester, which is only available for dinner.

The market is so hot that you can't get a table without booking in advance.

"Not tonight, I have to go home." Ye Hantao thought for a moment, "How about the night after tomorrow?"

Tang Jiahui: "Are you busy tomorrow night too?"

Ye Hantao turned around and tidied her clothes. "I was having dinner with... a friend."

Actually, it was Cheng Zhao who asked if I was free to have dinner before we ended our chat last night.

Lunch won't do, it has to be dinner.

My roommates didn't think much of it.

As they watched Ye Hantao answer questions while hanging up clothes that were supposedly worth tens of yuan each, they couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief.

After a long pause, Xia Ying spoke up, "Tao Tao, it's fortunate that your family's identities were exposed one after another."

First it was Maze, then Zhou Shumiao, Oliver, and only later did the head of Guang Sheng Group appear.

Le Chu and Tang Jiahui shared the same sentiment, saying, "It's so that we won't be too surprised to the point of collapsing."

Ye Hantao, who learned about her family's identity at almost the same time as them: "..."

Le Chu held a pastry in one hand and put the other on Tao Tao's shoulder. "You're being too low-key, and your excuse is so convincing! I didn't even notice anything was wrong."

Xia Ying raised her hand, "I borrowed Tao Tao's moisturizing toner, and I was really surprised after using it that Tao Tao found such an affordable and effective brand."

Tang Jiahui looked bitter. "After Tao Tao used my foundation, she recommended the foundation that her mother usually uses. I even said that I was worried about the brand because it was too unknown and I was afraid it would ruin my skin!"

"Tao Tao, those were all privately allocated by your family, weren't they?"

"……right."

Xia Ying hugged Tao Tao tightly, "My benefactor! I asked if I could buy the same moisturizing toner, and you even gave me a discount!"

A large bottle of moisturizing toner that costs only a dozen yuan probably costs several hundred yuan in real life!

Ye Hantao let her roommate hug her, only smiling and not saying a word.

It's impossible to say that before her uncle exposed the issue, she firmly believed that the skincare products at home were cheap and of good quality, costing only a few dollars.

After eating a few pastries, Le Chu leaned closer and said, "Tao Tao, could you add some requirements to your seven-day, six-night free-and-easy trip lottery?"

Xia Ying and Tang Jiahui quickly chimed in, "Add, add, add! Reaching level 15 in the Super Topic is too easy! You need to be at the maximum level to draw!"

Le Chu stroked her chin. "There are quite a few people with maxed-out supertopics, otherwise, if you add in the comments praising Tao Tao, there would be no fewer than 500 comments?"

Ye Hantao quickly waved her hand, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

"As for it! All three of us are satisfied!"

"But you're my roommates."

After saying that, Ye Hantao pulled out three vouchers from her bag and waved them in front of her roommates, "Here, these are for you guys to use for shady dealings."

Roommates: "?!?!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!! It's a room with a balcony!! I saw in the comments that it costs a million for one night!"

"Tao Tao! You don't need to clean the dorm for the next semester, I'll take care of it all!"

"Why are you going to do everything for me? Tao Tao, how about I blow-dry your hair for you?"

Ye Hantao was amused by her roommates, "I actually have something for you guys to do."

"What's wrong?"

"The final grade point average cannot be lower than 3.7."

The school implements a GPA of 4.0, and their major's GPA of 3.7 in the first semester ranked them in the top 20 of the grade.

Apart from Ye Hantao, only Xia Ying was in the top twenty of the grade in the entire dormitory.

Le Chu and Tang Jiahui have GPAs of 3.4 and 3.3 respectively.

The two of them almost knelt down, pleading, "Tao Tao, let's do all the cleaning!!!"

Ye Hantao made an X with her arms in front of her, "You can choose between 3.7 GPA points and the voucher."

"...Coupon TAT".

Xia Ying was delighted with what she saw and was about to take a picture of the voucher to show off to her family when she was caught off guard by a trending search term with the word "hot".

"Oh my god! Look at the trending topics!"

"What? Tao Tao, what secrets about your family have been discovered again?"

Ye Hantao tilted her head, "?"

"It's not Tao Tao, it's Yuan Kai!" Xia Ying squeezed into the middle to show them the trending topics on her phone. "Yuan Kai's wife posted an exposé exposing Yuan Kai's domestic violence and infidelity! There are even photos!"

Ye Hantao didn't remember that the plot mentioned Yuan Kai's domestic violence and infidelity, so she quickly looked down at the trending topics.

Yin Danxi v: My husband @Yuan Kai, who is seen as a good husband and father who loves his wife and daughter, is not only an abuser but also a traitor in private!

Further down are the inside stories and pictures exposed by Yin Danxi, including medical examination reports of injuries and chat logs showing her infidelity.

【Huh?? Yuan Kai committed domestic violence and cheated? That can't be right! He doesn't seem like it!】

[Does anyone know if the injury assessment was photoshopped? And what about the chat screenshots? I'll sell you 100 of these images!]

[A few days ago, there was gossip that Yin Danxi's family was demanding money from her again. Is this a desperate measure to get money from Yuan Kai?]

[I urge everyone to remain calm. There have been previous cases of accusations of domestic violence against husbands, only to be later proven to be staged.]

[666, as expected of Yuan Kai, there are actually fans defending him? Your brother has been thoroughly exposed on anonymous forums! He's involved in lesbian relationships and CG scandals; only his company is keeping it quiet!]

[Making baseless accusations? @YuankaiStudio, sue us!]

[The studio has sent out a lawyer's letter; some people are just waiting to be sued!]

Ye Hantao was still looking at the injury assessment photos posted by Yin Danxi when Tang Jiahui's question rang in her ears: "Do you think Yuan Kai would commit domestic violence and cheat on his wife? I've even seen the TV dramas he's acted in..."

“Domestic violence and infidelity are not necessarily true, but he is definitely not a good father,” Tang Jiahui said. “When Tao Tao asked him what medicine he gave Ruoruo, he couldn’t give any examples.”

To support Tao Tao, her roommates would gather together to watch the replays even though they had classes all day.

As people watch and discuss, it becomes easy for them to notice certain details.

At this moment, Ye Hantao saw that Yin Danxi had updated her status again, releasing a surveillance video.

The video footage freezes on the bedroom.

After clicking play, the heavy slaps made their hearts tighten.

In the scene, Yin Danxi is beaten and thrown onto the bed, and through the door, the sound of a child crying and looking for his mother can be heard.

The atmosphere in the entire dormitory became heavy.

The next video is a clandestine, secretly filmed scene in dim lighting.

This is irrefutable video evidence of Yuan Kai's infidelity.

On the trending topics page, only a small number of fans are still defending Yuan Kai, believing that these videos are fabricated; most netizens have already started criticizing him.

[Selling a persona while simultaneously cheating and committing domestic violence? What superb acting skills!!]

[Is Yuan Kai even human?! Birds of a feather flock together, anyone who hangs out with Ji Changtu and Ren Lang is no good!]

[He even talked about his wife with such affection on a variety show, ugh! How disgusting!]

Did Ye Hantao already know his true colors?

[I also want to say! Ye Hantao asked Yuan Kai two questions: one was what Ruoruo was allergic to, and the other was the medicine Ruoruo took for her cold!]

[Seriously! Now that I think about it, Yuan Kai's expression was a little off before he answered!!!!]

[The show "Classmates Are Coming" has released a statement: Yuan Kai has left the show!]

Ye Hantao stopped reading the comments, found her phone and zoomed in on Yin Danxi's injury assessment, while asking her roommates for their opinions, "For injuries of this severity, at most 15 days of detention, right?"

Xia Ying: "Yes, but Yuan Kai's reputation is completely ruined, and he'll be a nobody from now on."

Tang Jiahui complained, "This punishment is too lenient!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hantao hesitated and said, "I want to ask Yin Danxi if she needs any help."

"Ask!" Le Chu was the first to respond, "Yin Danxi has gone to such lengths because she wants a divorce! We do have some connections!"

Tang Jiahui came to her senses, "It's not just a little bit of connections, Tao Tao's uncle can even help us arrange meals and get private tutoring from big names in the legal profession."

Ye Hantao chose to follow Yin Danxi's account, and the next second, they became mutual followers.

"???"

Did you follow her before?

"Tao Tao, let's send the private message after we get into the classroom." Xia Ying grabbed her textbook and Tao Tao's textbook. "Class will start in about ten minutes."

Ye Hantao nodded and left the dormitory with her roommates, heading straight for the classroom.

This class is on criminal procedure law. The teacher is very strict about attendance, requiring attendance to be taken both before and after class.

Ye Hantao arrived at the classroom as the school bell rang.

The four of them found empty seats and sat down. In the meantime, while the others were being called out, Ye Hantao opened Yin Danxi's private messages again, intending to ask if she had found a lawyer.

Unexpectedly, Yin Danxi had sent a message two minutes earlier.

[Yin Danxi: I sent you a private message last week, but it might have been blocked.]

Ye Hantao realized that she had turned off private messages from strangers a long time ago, which was probably why she hadn't seen them.

[Yin Danxi: That night I overheard him talking on the phone with someone, asking him to create a scandal with you. It happened so fast I didn't have time to record it.]

Upon reading the contents, Ye Hantao immediately sat up straight. Wasn't this exactly what happened in the control group of the plot?

Do you know who made him do this?

[Yin Danxi: Sorry, I didn't hear you.]

[It doesn't matter. ]

Ye Hantao told Yin Danxi that it was okay, but when she got home that night, the first thing she did was put her hands on her hips and complain to her whole family, "Someone is trying to scheme against me!"

With the combined efforts of her entire family, she was determined to uncover the person who colluded with Yuan Kai.

Ye Hantao had never been so confident.
