Chapter 17 Testimony and Physical Evidence
Just then, English teacher Linda...
Seeing this, Su Yehao's mother took the invoice and looked at it. The paying bank was the Bank of America. Her family didn't cooperate with this bank, so it was unlikely that they would give Su Yehao this kind of credit card.
She immediately believed it a little more.
Staring at Linda Yun, Su Yehao's mother continued to ask, "Is there really nothing between you and my son? Then why would someone send this kind of letter and photo to the newspaper?"
"...I don't know, but I swear, there's really no special relationship between me and my students. I still have that much morality. Besides, last night Su Yehao was clearly shopping at the mall with Jiang Yu from the next class. I just happened to run into him while buying a bag and had dessert together. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jiang Yu!"
"Jiang Yu... Are you talking about the daughter of my family's Jiang Master? I've known that girl since she was little. It's reasonable for her to be shopping with my son."
After Su Yehao's mother finished speaking, Jiang Yu's appearance appeared in her mind. It had been a while since she'd seen her, but she remembered that she was a beautiful girl since she was a child. If her son was shopping with her, it would be much more normal.
When Linda Yun took out her credit card and it matched the payment account on the receipt, and with Jiang Yu as a witness, including Principal Song Minshi, they actually already believed it was just a misunderstanding.
At this time, Principal Song Minshi acted as a peacemaker, smiling and saying, "I told you, our teacher Yun wouldn't do that kind of thing. She's easygoing and many students have always liked her. She also handles her relationships with colleagues very well... I mean the kind of liking that shows respect for the teacher."
"Okay, I need to have someone take a picture of the receipt and credit card to clarify to my friend at the newspaper. Is that okay? You also know that my family situation is special. Once rumors spread, it will definitely have an impact on my son."
"No problem, I'll cooperate..."
Just as Linda Yun finished speaking, Su Yehao arrived.
It was the first time seeing his mother. After Su Yehao pushed open the door, he observed for a moment before tentatively asking, "I'm here. Why did you ask me to come to the principal's office?"
"There's a little trouble. Did you go shopping with Jiang Yu last night?" His mother asked with a smile.
Su Yehao didn't understand why, and nodded, "Yeah, she's temporarily staying at my house recently. Last night we were bored and had nothing to do, so we went for a drive to the newly opened mall. Didn't we just happen to run into teacher Linda Yun? Are you guys talking about me?"
Up until this moment, the "confession" and the physical evidence matched up, and the internal conflict was completely resolved.
In reality, his mother didn't care much about who her son was with.
What she cared about was that once the news spread, it would be sensationalized into something like a young master being seduced by a teacher. It would sound bad and affect Su Yehao's future.
If others were targeting her, the woman named Tang Jiayu wouldn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, because of the several concubines in her family, the media had already speculated about her for many years, and she had already lost all face.
This time, because it involved her son Su Yehao, she was so concerned...
After Su Yehao sat down, it took him a while to understand the ins and outs of the matter.
He was immediately dumbfounded.
Su Yehao said angrily, "This is pure slander. Who's the fool spreading rumors about me?"
He was exasperated. If this kind of thing really happened, it would be one thing. Linda Yun was beautiful, so it wouldn't be a loss. But he didn't even get to eat the mutton and still got into trouble. This was unbearable.
Linda Yun was also still angry.
She knew who her enemies were and didn't try to pass the buck to Su Yehao. At this moment, she was united in hatred and said, "When we were shopping yesterday, did you see any paparazzi taking pictures of us? Jiang Yu was clearly standing at the door, but she wasn't included in the picture. It's obvious that they're deliberately creating a topic with ulterior motives!"
"I didn't see it, but Jiang Yu was waiting at the door. Maybe she saw it at the entrance of the store."
Su Yehao scratched the back of his head and guessed, "Anyway, it couldn't be Jiang Yu. She has no reason to harm us. I didn't see her carrying a camera last night. She had already gone to the bookstore when we went to eat dessert. She wasn't there when I sent you out. Could a paparazzi be targeting me?"
"That shouldn't be. If it were a paparazzi, having photos would be enough. Why would they anonymously send a letter of complaint to the newspaper?"
They were talking back and forth.
Su Yehao's mother listened for a long time and, seeing that they were so frank, completely believed that there was no problem between Su Yehao and Linda Yun. Naturally, she would not continue to interrogate them.
The storm dissipated before it even started, which relieved Principal Song Minshi. He began to persuade Su Yehao's mother to call the chairman of the school board, who was also the mother of one of the popular young actresses, Zhao Yimeng, that noblewoman named Jin Yu.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and they soon dispersed.
Su Yehao's mother had something to do, so she went to find a friend, leaving Su Yehao and Linda Yun, each thinking about what enemies they had offended.
……
Was the matter resolved here?
Of course not.
Several letters of complaint had been sent out, and some television stations and newspapers actually believed them.
Half an hour later, the hot news of "A lecherous female teacher seducing a top wealthy young master" broke out in a radio program, and the news spread rapidly.
For a time, many people in Macau heard about it, and even the students at the school were talking about it.
When he received the call from Baoya Jun and learned of this news, Su Yehao was so angry that his face turned pale.
He himself didn't care. He was indifferent to fame and was only worried about Linda Yun.
He immediately went to the dance club to find Jiang Yu, wanting to find out who was behind it all...
