345 Different Thoughts
Shan Yue was a little surprised by this sudden question, but she quickly reacted. “Why? Does Senior Lin also think that what she said is true? When did everyone start to like to believe rumors?”
“Miss… Miss Shan, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t believe the rumors, let alone what you mean.” Lin Xiao kept shaking his hands to express his denial. There was even a hint of panic in his words. “I’m just very curious. Why would they say such unfounded words to frame you? It’s meaningless.”
“You’re wrong, Senior Lin. When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent.” Shan Yue shook her head helplessly. “Some people don’t need any reason to slander you. Whether it’s out of jealousy or hatred, they don’t need to bear any responsibility for their words. Over time, endless slander will satisfy the pleasure in their hearts, so they won’t be so empty. I’m already used to this.”
After a two-second pause, Shan Yue continued, “As the boss of the Shan Corporation, I have a lot of dealings with Zhou Xuan on common projects. This is very normal. However, in the eyes of some people with prejudice, this is immoral behavior. As for Young Master Zhang, I saved his life in Pang Village during National Day. The two of us only have a friendship.”
Hearing Shan Yue’s words, Lin Xiao felt relieved. He accidentally blurted out the words he was thinking, “It’s good that you’re all friends. This way, I still have a chance.”
“What did you say, Senior Lin? Your voice was too soft just now, so I didn’t hear you clearly,” Shan Yue asked.
Only then did Lin Xiao react. He realized that he had said what he was thinking and quickly found an excuse to brush it off. “Nothing, nothing. I just said that they really shouldn’t slander someone who works so hard for no reason.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, their mouths are on them.” Shan Yue’s calm eyes did not change because of this. “They can say whatever they want. I just have to be good and have a clear conscience.”
Until now, Lin Xiao still admired Shan Yue’s temperament. She had already owned her own company when she was just an adult and was even as famous as the Zhou Corporation. Just this alone had already exceeded almost 100% of her peers.
Not only that, but behind everyone’s glamorous appearance, there would definitely be many heartaches that others could not see. Lin Xiao did not expect Shan Yue to be carrying so many things on her back. If it were him, he might not be as good as Shan Yue.
At this moment, Lin Xiao could only warn himself over and over again that the word matching was not unreasonable. Currently, he was not worthy of Shan Yue at all. He had to work hard to get closer to her bit by bit.
However, what Lin Xiao did not expect was that Shan Yue’s achievements were far more than that. Her ambition naturally would not stop at this stage. In the future, Shan Yue’s achievements would be unprecedented.
“Senior Lin?” Shan Yue’s shout pulled Lin Xiao back from his imagination to reality.
Shan Yue stood up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. Doesn’t Senior Lin still have to look for Senior Xu Lu? When you go later, Senior Xu Lu will have different thoughts.”
“Don’t worry, Shan Yue. Xu Lu is unforgiving with her words, but she’s actually very kind-hearted. She definitely won’t be like this.” Lin Xiao nodded. “You should go back quickly. Don’t let the people in the dormitory worry.”
When it was finally over, Lin Xiao came to the canteen to look for Xu Lu. He ran through the entire canteen but could not find her. Helpless, he could only give up and prepare to send a message to explain when he returned to the dormitory.
After what had just happened, Xu Lu was no longer in the mood to eat. At this moment, she was hiding in a corner of the classroom with Tang Hui, plotting some unspeakable plan. The two of them, who had just reached a united front, gathered together again after a while. This was why Lin Xiao could not find Xu Lu in the canteen.
