Chapter 28: Chapter 28

"Not at all, I already said it was Cheng Mingxiu. It's none of my business..."
Lin Xian was still trying to explain.
But Ling Ye had already thrown a punch.
People from First University saw Lin Xian getting hit and quickly stepped forward to help.
Ling Ye's friends also rushed over upon hearing the news, all supporting Ling Ye.
The scene immediately turned chaotic.
On the other hand, Fu Youhan, holding his phone, hadn't made the call yet, his dark eyes locked on Jiang Moxi.
He saw Ling Ye and others enthusiastically fighting, while she just stood aside.
Her expression was very detached, it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Could it be, it really wasn't her doing?
Was she really not just stringing him along intentionally?
Her rejection was not him misreading her motives?
As Fu Youhan was distracted by these thoughts, the man in the driver's seat, Chi Jing, alerted him, "Third Master, the police have arrived."
Fu Youhan came back to his senses and saw the police alighting from their car and walking toward Jiang Moxi and the others.
It seemed that someone had called the police.
After briefly asking about the situation, the police took away everyone involved in the fight, including Jiang Moxi.
Considering that it wasn't appropriate to show favoritism in public, Fu Youhan only signaled Chi Jing to follow the police car…

Lin Xian is a top scholar at First University.
The school's leaders highly prioritized the fact that he got beaten.
The Lin Family also received the news immediately and rushed to the police station.
Similarly, the principal of the Technical College was also notified by the police to come.
In addition, the police wanted to contact the parents of Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye.
Jiang Moxi stated, "No need to contact my parents, they won't bother with this."
If Yu Man knew she was involved in a fight and ended up at the police station, she'd definitely be embarrassed and wouldn't come to bail her out.
In regards to these matters, Jiang Moxi had self-awareness.
While Ling Ye said, "No need to contact my mom, she's very busy. Plus, the fault wasn't ours to start with!"
Ling Yinan was managing a small company, working from dawn till dusk every day, exhausted to the bone.
Additionally, Ling Yinan had just been in a car accident a few days ago, so Ling Ye didn't want to trouble her over these trivial matters.
Upon hearing this, the principal of First University, Tan Zhiyi, became furious.
"The fault wasn't yours? Who threw the first punch then? There must be an explanation given to Young Master Lin and the Lin Family today."
Lin Xian's father, Lin Chengye, then said, "You struck first, so you're at fault. Just apologize properly, and this will be over."
Since Lin Xian was persistently persuading his father to let the matter go, Lin Chengye sensed there might be more to the story, which is why he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
But Ling Ye was stubborn.
"Your son spiked Moxi's drink, and you want us to apologize? It'd be more like him kneeling and kowtowing to us for an apology."
"Spike the drink?"
Lin Chengye looked at Jiang Moxi, whose heavy makeup was somewhat smudged, giving her a rather sloppy appearance, and said in a tone of disbelief:
"Are you kidding? How could my son ever be interested in someone like her?"
Even the principal of Technical College, Wang Shi, couldn't help but advise, "Student Ling Ye, I know you are eager to help Student Jiang Moxi, but you cannot ignore the facts."
Jiang Moxi looked horribly tragic with her thick makeup, and even dogs would shake their heads at her.
If it were those rookies who hadn't interacted much with girls, they might comfort themselves, thinking it all looks the same under the covers.
But Lin Xian was the most sought-after handsome student at First University, having dated numerous beauties, how could he possibly be interested in Jiang Moxi?
And to think he would stoop so low as to spike her drink just to get her?
The more Wang Shi thought about it, the more he felt that Ling Ye was deliberately twisting the story to help Jiang Moxi.
Little did he know, Ling Ye's friend Tang Yi stepped forward to argue:
"Principal, we aren't lying. Recently, Lin Xian confessed twice to Student Jiang Moxi at the school gate and even continuously brought her breakfast from a five-star hotel to win her favor."
Tang Yi was in the same class as Jiang Moxi, so he was fairly aware of these details.
Principal Wang Shi was incredulous: "Is that really true?"
Tang Yi: "Absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can check the surveillance footage at the school gate!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chengye looked at Lin Xian with an indescribable gaze.
As if questioning him with that silent look, wondering if he was blind to fancy such an ugly monster, and even thinking of forcibly taking her?
Lin Xian lowered his head in shame.
But Lin Chengye was not willing to let it go, "The matter of drugging lacks evidence, but you started the fight and that is wrong. Apologize, and after the apology let's wipe the slate clean!"
"Dad!" Lin Xian tried to stop his father.
However, Lin Chengye gave him a cold glare, signaling him not to interfere foolishly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Moxi suddenly spoke up: "You think I have no evidence?"
Those words made Lin Chengye's heart skip a beat.
It's a minor thing to fight, but if there are ill intentions toward a female classmate and an attempt to bully her by drugging, that's a moral degradation, a problem of character.
If the matter escalates, Lin Xian may well be expelled from the school.
Lin Xian, foreseeing these issues, looked anxiously at Jiang Moxi.
But at this moment, the Chief of Police arrived.
"Jiang Moxi, Ling Ye. Your uncle has completed the procedures, you can leave now."
Thus, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye were personally escorted out by the bald Chief.
The Chief even enthusiastically helped them into the car, greeted the man sitting in the van, and then finally left.
Lin Chengye hurried outside, but all he saw through the back window of the departing van was that half profile of stunning beauty.
"Third Master Fu?"
Lin Chengye squinted his eyes, somewhat in disbelief.
Although still a bit reluctant, in the end, he let it go.
After all, if Third Master Fu were to make a comeback, he surely couldn't compete with him.
Yet, on the way back, Lin Chengye couldn't help but ask Lin Xian: "What is the relationship between those two students and Third Master Fu?"
Lin Xian didn't understand why his father suddenly mentioned Fu Youhan, but still replied:
"Ling Ye probably doesn't know Third Master Fu, Moxi was previously engaged to Fu Yiming, she calls him uncle."
Ling Ye's surname is Ling, and his outfit and appearance are very ordinary.
Plus, he studies at the Technical College and isn't very academically inclined.
Lin Xian couldn't imagine how he would be connected to the Fu Family.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chengye suddenly thought of something: "That girl, is she the adopted daughter of the Jiang Family?"
Indeed, he had heard about Fu Yiming's engagement to Jiang's adopted daughter, but he wasn't sure who she was.
Only because the Jiang Family never allowed their adopted daughter to appear in public.
"Right, it's her." Lin Xian knew this because his sister Lin Meihan is Jiang Weiwei's close friend.
But he didn't forget to emphasize: "But now Moxi has nothing to do with Fu Yiming anymore."
Lin Chengye wanted to ask, if she has nothing to do with the Fu Family, why would Third Master Fu go to great lengths to rescue her from the station?
But he quickly thought of the recent rumor that Fu Yiming was getting engaged to Jiang Weiwei.
Probably the news was true, so Third Master Fu likely intervened to prevent Jiang Moxi from tarnishing the family's reputation.
But he still reminded Lin Xian: "Don't provoke that Jiang girl!"
If Third Master Fu personally intervened, it shows that the Fu Family still very much values the marital bond with the Jiang Family.
Lin Chengye did not want to jeopardize the foundation built by generations of his family over this matter.
"Why?" Lin Chengye pondered deeply, but Lin Xian couldn't empathize.
"There are plenty of women in the world, why pick someone so ugly she can't appear in public!"
Lin Chengye was furious.
"Dad, you don't understand!"
To Lin Xian, Jiang Moxi was more beautiful than a fairy, that fleeting appearance still unforgettable.
But he still didn't want to share this secret with anyone, as if by doing so his connection with Jiang Moxi was special.
"I really don't understand your taste, it's simply a disgrace to our Lin Family."
Lin Chengye also felt that further discussion was pointless, so during the subsequent journey, neither father nor son spoke to each other.
