Cheng Juan had posted a comment link under Dai Ran’s Weibo.
Soon, numerous people liked and commented on the post, pushing it all the way to the top spot.
When Dai Ran first posted this Weibo post, some people had really connoted whether Master Wei was using this incident to gain popularity. However, who knew that within a few minutes, a link to the comment would appear, and the people talking were Master Wei and Dai Ran.
Soon, under the Weibo comment section, someone from the Beijing Association broke the news—
[Teacher Dai’s original words in the Beijing Association’s conference room: If a senior student is involved in plagiarism and is not expelled from the Beijing Association, you’re clear of the consequences.]
This sentence ignited many netizens’ anger!
When they took another look at Dai Ran’s righteous and honorable Weibo post, all onlookers felt ashamed for him!
He was right, he was like a contemptible clown.
“Teacher Dai, why did you post on Weibo?” In Dai Ran’s office, several people on his side sat down blankly.
They thought…
They had stood on the wrong side…
In the office, the group of people exchanged glances, breaking out into cold sweat.
Climbing to their positions in the Beijing Association hadn’t been easy, but after offending Master Wei and participating in the turmoil between Qin Ran and Qin Yu, they were about to fall apart.
Previously, Dai Ran hadn’t planned on leaving a way out for Master Wei and Qin Ran, but he didn’t expect this to happen to himself instead.
Getting kicked out of the Beijing Association wasn’t so bad. The worst-case scenario was… they might not be able to carry on in the violin world anymore.

At the same time, Qin Yu wasn’t doing any better in school.
After finding the manuscript and posting the photo, Qin Yu had returned to school while waiting for Dai Ran’s good news.
She went to the freshman reception and found the Student Union President who had received her yesterday. The two had already exchanged contact information and were talking about joining the association.
During this period, she was rather surprised that Dai Ran’s good news never came.
She returned to her dormitory and realized that her roommates were looking at her differently.
She felt a little surprised.
Walking over to the bathroom, she closed the door and happened to receive a call from Ning Qing.
“Yu’er, are you okay?” Ning Qing sounded very flustered.
“Mom, what happened?” Qin Yu sat on the toilet seat and tried to lower her voice.
On the other side of the phone, Ning Qing took a deep breath. “Yu’er, listen to me. I’ll talk to your sister about the incident on Weibo. Don’t panic, I only have you to count on.”

She hung up the phone right after.
Listening to the beeping tone on the other end of the phone, Qin Yu quickly opened Weibo in surprise.
After posting the manuscript on Weibo, she had gone out to find the seniors from the Student Union. She was completely unaware that, within an hour, Weibo had already made a shocking reversal.
She clicked on the latest Weibo post. The hottest comment had already changed to a new one.
Following the keywords made by the netizens, Qin Yu clicked on it with trembling fingers and saw the video Master Wei posted—
She saw a picture showing a bunch of manuscripts.
“Bam—”
She dropped her phone and sat on the toilet lid dully, repeating only two words in her heart—
I’m Goner.

[It took me a month to write this.] In retrospect, it sounded incredibly ironic.
Qin Yu quickly picked up the phone again and tried deleting the Weibo post. However, she couldn’t delete it no matter what, as if it was being controlled by someone.

At this moment, she felt her whole being collapse. She understood the reason why the group of roommates had looked at her like that just now. Their eyes were unabashedly straightforward and disgusted.
At the thought of how the netizens were judging her the same way, Qin Yu finally panicked. She began to regret making such a post in the first place!
Especially since the Lin family would probably see these?!
What would the Shen family do after seeing these?!
Would she be kicked out of the Violin Association?!

Flustered, she stared at the bathroom door in a remorseful and dazed manner…
Moreover… she began to regret arguing with Qin Ran in the first place. Otherwise, would she be the same as Wang Zifeng… and be able to go to Continent M… this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened at all!

Once such thoughts appeared in her mind, they simply couldn’t be repelled at all…

In Yunjin District.
Qin Hanqiu answered Ning Qing’s call.
“Yu’er is also your daughter. You were so good to her when she was young, how could you not worry about her at all?” Ning Qing knew that she couldn’t contact Qin Ran, but she knew that Qin Hanqiu still had contact with her. “Do you know how strong the Internet’s public opinion is? Yu’er is so eager to be first, what if she becomes depressed because of this?”

Ning Qing’s words made Qin Hanqiu worry.
As for Qin Yu…
To be honest, he had doted on her ever since young, and she was his biological daughter. He couldn’t possibly not care about her, but since it involved Qin Ran…

He went to knock anxiously on Qin Ling’s door.
He was still playing computer games.
He clicked on a string of characters indecipherable to others. Qin Hanqiu withdrew his gaze and explained the situation to him.
Qin Hanqiu knew in his heart that if he called Qin Ran, she might hang up upon hearing the name “Qin Yu.”
After listening to him, Qin Ling finally turned his gaze from the display screen. His hand suddenly paused on the keyboard, and his eyes turned dark and cold. “Did you see Weibo?”
“What?” Qin Hanqiu was taken aback and confused.
Sneering, Qin Ling directly reached out and pressed a few keys. The game page shrank and changed into the Weibo page. “This matter had already begun fermenting since yesterday. Qin Yu didn’t reveal the truth and added hail to snow instead…”

While talking, he flipped through the comments and said calmly, “Go and ask your ex-wife. She’s asking you to beg my sister, but did she help my sister beg Qin Yu? Did she say that this incident would bring much harm to Qin Yu? By the way, remember to ask her, did she think of how harmful it would be to my sister if there wasn’t any evidence?”

Qin Hanqiu was stunned by his words.
