I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 7

Chapter 007 – Preparing to be sent away (2)

Lin Xi started packing up her stuff when she arrived at the classroom. She packed up past examinations inside of her desk and the textbooks in the back storage area.

“Have you guys heard about what happened to Lin Anxin?”

Hearing a familiar name suddenly, Lin Xi stopped what she was doing for a second. Then she heard the few girls in the corners seemed to be talking about what had happened with Lin Anxin yesterday.

“Who's Lin Anxin? The freshman year class flower.”

“Yeah, that's her.”

“What about her?” asked another girl dubiously.

“What? You haven't heard? She was cornered by Yan Xuequi and her underlings by the artificial pool yesterday. She even fell into the pool afterward. So many were there who had witnessed that.”

“That dramatic?” The girl who was baffled earlier continued to ask, “What happened? How did she end up offending Yan Xueqi and the others?”

“Yeah. What was wrong with that Lin Anxin to want to offend Yan Xueqi.” Another girl, too, was baffled.

Yan Xueqi and her underlings were the hooligans at school. It was said that she had quite a family background and most would not want to cross them under normal situations.

“You know Wang Yukai in Class C?”

“Yeah, childhood friend of Yan Xueqi. It's not a love triangle, is it?”

“Oh, better than that.” The girl paused, then went on. “I don't think Lin Anxin is into Wang Yukai but she didn't turn him down when he professed his love for her or give her gifts. However, when he asked her for her WeChat, she purposefully gave him her best friend's WeChat contact information instead. And she even lied to her friend that Wang Yukai was into her.”

“Oh, my lord! You can do that? So her best friend was under the impression that Wang Yukai was going after her the entire time while Wang Yukai thought he was pursuing Lin Anxin? Oh, mi. What did she do that for? I didn't know players outsource nowadays.”

“I'm not done yet. Whenever Lin Anxin receives gifts from Wang Yukai, she'd turn around and give it to her best friend and said that Wang Yukai asked her to be the middle person. Guess what happened then? Yan Xueqi happened to witness the whole transaction.”

“What a melon. No wonder Yan Xueqi had beef with her. But how did you find out about it?”

“Don't you read the forum? Yan Xueqi posted it all to the forum.”

“Oh, really? Let me look.” The girl pulled out her cellphone and quickly scrolled through the forum. “Wait, I think you get it backward.”

“Really?”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“See for yourself. Lin Anxin's friend posted this. She said that she had talked to Lin Anxin and Lin Anxin was baffled as well. She had always thought that Wang Yukai was into her friend and only having her as the middle person.”

“No way. That's so fake. Who'd buy that?”

“Well, many. Look. Many are supportive of Lin Anxin. Look here and here. Some even said she is silly cute.”

So that's what it was.

The corners of Lin Xi's lips twitched when she heard their conversation. Finding out the backstory about the incident two days ago, she was stunned by Lin Anxin's actions and that left her speechless.

Gossips were all over the school. All Xu Jiaofeng and the others needed to do were to pay a trip to the school and found out that she had nothing to do with Lin Anxin falling into the other. Nevertheless, they chose to listen to Lin Anxin's lies instead. Or, they didn't, but they chose to side with her anyway.

The girls were still gossiping about it when, one of the girls seemed to have noticed Lin Xi. She gestured with her lips and stopped the other girl from talking.

“Let's go talk somewhere else.” She said that in a low voice as she pointed at Lin Xi's direction to the others.

All of them had the same look as the first girl when they saw Lin Xi.

“Let's go. Let's go. We will talk about it over there.” The few walked away quickly, as though Lin Xi was some sort of contagious disease.

Lin Xi had long since numbed by situations like this.

When Lin Xi first started school, she got along with everybody just fine and had a few close friends. Starting last semester, however, a lot of malicious rumors about Lin Xi started appearing in the school's forum: Some said she was staying at a family that was not hers; some said she was the child of murders; other said she was child of a r*pist, and that she only did well in school because she cheated on all of her examinations. Some even more ridiculous ones said she had improper relationship with the 50-60 year old man in the school's print shop, which was why she had access to the examinations ahead of time, which explained her good grades.

All of them were ridiculous but some believed them nonetheless.

Her friends started keeping their distances from her and the others started avoiding her.

The school did, in the end, stood up and clarified that the rumors were untrue and also had the negative rumors removed. Nevertheless, the negative impact from the rumors had already been done.

What was even more ridiculous was: The school had announced one day that they were going to get down to the bottom of this and find the person behind these rumors and deal with them severely but everything seemed to have been forgotten by the next day and was never mentioned again.

Lin Xi let out a sighed and hurried up in her shoving her textbooks into her backpack.
