"What? The video on Moments was posted by you?" Hearing this, Shen Xi looked at her in surprise, something she hadn't expected.
Geng Han's mother's face flushed slightly. "At the time, seeing Shen Zi Shuo perform so well, I casually took a video. After returning, I posted it on Moments to express my feelings, and who knew it would go viral and be forwarded by countless people."
"It's okay, you don't need to apologize. Go ahead and post it. You didn't have any ill intentions." Shen Xi pulled the corners of her lips apart, her expression calm and indifferent.
"If I hadn't posted that video, the news the next day would have..." Geng Han's mother trailed off.
"The news the next day had no direct connection to the video you posted, so you don't need to worry too much." Shen Xi paused, then continued, "Someone intentionally orchestrated it. Even if you hadn't posted that video, the news the next day would likely have come out anyway."
"Oh." Geng Han's mother replied thoughtfully.
Recalling the news reports, although Geng Han's mother was full of curiosity and wanted to know the truth, she also understood that it was someone else's privacy, and it wasn't appropriate for her to ask too many questions.
However, she didn't believe the content of the reports. Based on her interactions with Zi Shuo's mother, she absolutely refused to believe she was that kind of woman.
"Why did you suddenly send Zi Shuo to Qimeng for training? I remember at the competition that day, you refused many training institutions on the spot, saying you weren't planning to find a teacher for him." Geng Han's mother quickly changed the subject.
Shen Xi smiled and replied, "I hadn't made up my mind at the time, and there were too many institutions, making it difficult to choose. After returning, I thought about it carefully and still felt that I should find a professional teacher to teach Shuo Shuo well. After researching and comparing these past few days, I think Qimeng is a good choice. I want to find Principal Jin here for one-on-one guidance for Shuo Shuo."
"What? Principal Jin? He's rarely seen, it's not easy to get an audience with him." Geng Han's mother's eyes widened in surprise. "Moreover, I've also heard that he generally doesn't take students, and the total number of children he has guided is no more than five. Even if he does accept them, the requirements for the children are very strict."
"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Xi raised her eyebrows. "Hearing you say that, I'm even more curious about this Principal Jin and more eager to meet him. Do you have his contact information?"
Geng Han's mother's eyes blinked rapidly. "I actually do."
After exchanging contact numbers, she sent Jin Jingchen's mobile number to Shen Xi via text message.
"Zi Han's mother, let me tell you, Principal Jin's phone is very difficult to get through to, and he generally doesn't answer unknown numbers. I called him several times last time, and he didn't pick up. I also added him on WeChat, but he didn't accept, acting quite arrogant. Later, I got angry and went to ask the front desk teacher, and the teacher replied that Principal Jin does not directly contact strangers and that to find him, one must make a reservation through the front desk. That really made me furious."
"Oh? This Principal Jin is quite individualistic. Isn't he afraid of losing students by doing this?" Shen Xi frowned. A principal of a training institution should be amiable to parents and accept everyone, so why be so indifferent and proud?
"He has a great reputation, and his teaching quality and management are top-notch, so he has no worries about students." Geng Han's mother smiled slightly, leaned towards her, and whispered, "To be honest, we also transferred here from other institutions because of his reputation."
Just then, the two children ran towards them. Shuo Shuo excitedly described his recent experiences to Shen Xi. Shen Xi was also very happy and even more determined to send Shuo Shuo here to study.
After dinner that afternoon, Shen Xi returned to her bedroom and made a call to Qin Si Ye.
"Si Ye, have you found out on your end? Is Han Hao Ming at home today?"
"I asked, he's working overtime today," Qin Si Ye replied in a low voice.
"Okay. Then come over to my place, and we'll drive there together." Shen Xi hung up the phone, went to the bathroom to tidy her hair, and then walked downstairs.
Shen Xi had already learned from Qin Si Ye a few days ago about Qin Si Ye looking for Han Hao Ming. Han Hao Ming's feelings towards their relationship had softened, and he had promised Si Ye that he would seriously consider the matter. Shen Xi and Qin Si Ye later decided to strike while the iron was hot and quickly uncover the truth of that year. Relying solely on Qin Si Ye wouldn't be enough; they decided to take action themselves. Investigating through Han Hao Ming's mother might reveal some clues.
The two soon arrived at the residential complex where Han Hao Ming lived. Stepping out of the car, Qin Si Ye quickly took Shen Xi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xi, if we come here so abruptly like this, do you think Aunt Lu will be very surprised to see me?"
