Chapter 317 Things are changing
Old Chen’s wife rushed out first.
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Cheng is just Xiaona's father's classmate and sponsors Xiaona, not her father. We, the classmates, are Xiaona's sponsors, and we can testify to this."
These words were spoken so crisply that several young men fell silent, but the girl was still obviously indignant.
"That's just what you guys are saying. Little Nana didn't say that. Besides, if she hadn't been wronged, how could a little girl run to the lake so late at night?"
While everyone was talking in a mess, Lin Cheng and Lao Chen came in and there was chaos again.
Wang Manning and Zhou Yanqing came back soon after. When she heard that this was the principal, the girl who had just been retorted by Lin Cheng and Lao Chen rushed over in anger.
"Are you the principal? The principal who seduced little Nana's father and forced little Nana to run away from home?"
Before Wang Manning could say anything, Zhou Yanqing next to her pulled her behind him and glared at the girl in front of him.
"You are crazy, this is my girlfriend. You are really lawless, you dare to slander and defame her in the police station."
Wang Manning was a little surprised, but she remained calm. She watched the girl in front of her blush and start talking without thinking.
"Boyfriend? Then you are really willing to wear this green hat, and you are still arguing with her here."
Lin Cheng walked over impatiently with his eyebrows raised.
"You're not done yet, are you? Didn't I make it clear just now? I'm Yang Xiaona's father's college roommate, as is Lao Chen."
"We are just her sponsors, not her father. I have my own girlfriend, so stop talking nonsense."
"Although we are very grateful that you found Yang Xiaona, we do not allow you to spread rumors like this."
At this time, Lin Cheng's pressure was quite strong. The little girl was so suppressed that she dared not say much. She muttered to herself and was pulled aside by a boy.
At this time, Wen Xin, Feng Shi and Wang Youlin also came into the room. Seeing the tense situation, they were a little surprised.
Wang Manning saw that the matter had involved herself, so she walked up to Li Yunfang and said in a clear tone:
"Mother Yang Xiaona, the child is not in a good condition to talk too much. But you are the child's guardian, you can't be so quiet at this time."
"These young people are your benefactors. You should tell them the truth."
Li Yunfang's eyes flickered, and she held her heart in a weak gesture:
"Principal Wang, please let us go. We have been so frightened. Please don't mention these trivial matters anymore."
Lin Cheng got a little angry and followed him over.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to say much, you just need to say yes or no. I just want to ask you, haven't I told you many times that I am just an uncle, and Yang Xiaona shouldn't call me dad."
Li Yunfang pinched Yang Xiaona's small hand and rubbed it, pretending not to hear.
Old Chen's wife had no intention of letting her go.
"Yunfang, Lin Cheng is asking you a question. Did Lin Cheng say that he is just an uncle and Xiaona can't call him dad because she has a girlfriend and won't agree? Tell me, yes or no."
Li Yunfang was forced into no choice but to nod: "Yes."
Wang Manning then turned around and looked at the girl in the crowd, speaking sharply.
"Little girl, regarding the topic you just mentioned, I solemnly declare once again that what you heard was a lie."
"You are a college student. You should understand that not to listen to one side of the story and to learn to discern the truth are basic skills for college students."
The little girl had a gloomy face and lowered her eyes, and the classmates around her pulled her back and stopped her from talking any more.
When Wang Youlin saw the situation, he understood what was going on.
She stood next to Wang Manning and took over the conversation:
"My dear classmate, I am a lawyer. I heard that you are a student of the School of Foreign Trade?"
"Then you should know that citizens' right to reputation must not be violated. Anyone who fabricates or distorts facts or uses insulting words to defame others will bear civil liability."
"You and your classmates rescued Yang Xiaona, which was a great thing. But if you believed the rumors and did something that infringed on the reputation of others, that would be a great bad thing."
The little girl's face turned even worse, she shrank back and became completely quiet.
After a chaotic night, everyone left exhausted.
Li Yunfang and her daughter took a taxi and left. Lin Cheng and Lao Chen watched from afar, without any words of comfort or farewell, and no one offered to see them off.
Li Yunfang's heart skipped a beat and she felt she had miscalculated again.
I had originally intended to use Lin Cheng's sympathy to get closer to him, even if it would just give me more opportunities to get closer, but in the end...
Lin Cheng walked up to Wang Manning and said apologetically, "Manning, I'm so sorry for involving you."
Wang Manning sighed unhappily.
"You really should say sorry. I've told you many times to get this big Buddha out of my school."
"I was afraid of a time bomb exploding, and it exploded today. Go to school tomorrow and refund her tuition. We can't afford to keep this big Buddha."
She was really annoyed. She was implicated for no reason and it was disgusting and upsetting.
Especially for things like this, whether true or false, it will damage the school's reputation if it gets out.
Lin Cheng looked at Zhou Yanqing next to him and wanted to ask them what was going on tonight, but when he saw Wang Manning's expression, he stopped talking.
Seeing Lin Cheng leave, Wang Manning sighed and thanked Zhou Yanqing: "Things change. Thank you for helping me today. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Zhou Yanqing raised the corner of his mouth:
"What a joke. You are the one who was wrongly accused."
......
I thought the storm was finally over, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the storm.
The next day, news about Yang Xiaona being found by college students came out, and a post soon appeared on the Internet.
The content was about the little girl last night. It didn’t mention any names, but it was quickly dug out by netizens, and Youzhi Education Group immediately became a hot topic again.
A while ago it was praised as a benchmark for educational institutions in Beijing, but this time it was scolded because of the principal's scandal.
Wen Xin felt a little worried as he watched the content quickly ferment on the Internet.
This was a real unexpected disaster for Wang Manning, and also a test for the Youzhi Education Group, which had just stepped onto a high level.
The Internet gives ordinary people the opportunity to speak out, but it also provides a breeding ground for rumormongers.
Wang Manning called the police directly and also sent a lawyer's letter to the rumor mongers online, saying that they would investigate the matter thoroughly and would not tolerate any leniency.
However, the online carnival seems to be unaffected. Many people feel that they are just virtual people hiding behind the Internet and can do whatever they want.
On the other side, Lin Cheng has also been taking action.
He first wanted to persuade Li Yunfang to come forward to explain, but Li Yunfang refused on the grounds that she did not dare to show up.
Looking at the online crackdown on Youzhi Education, Lin Cheng became extremely anxious.
The hard work of my company in promoting the product was almost wiped out by this incident.
He felt extremely guilty because Wang Manning had suffered such an unexpected disaster because of his own problems.
He persuaded Lao Chen and Lao Miao, and the three of them were interviewed by the TV station's "Social Phenomenon" program, and reviewed the funding they had provided to Yang Xiaona over the years.
Of course, the characters are blurred and their names are pseudonyms.
Lao Chen and Lao Miao were very sure that Lin Cheng was not a father at all.
His words were full of indignation towards those who spread rumors online, saying that they were taking advantage of children's unintentional words to spread rumors and cause trouble online.
Allowing things to escalate to this point is harmful to all parties involved, and the harm to the children is particularly severe.
This is the result of their discussion.
It seems that Old Yang's daughter has been raised astray by Li Yunfang.
They had no obligation to continue to follow her and help the evil. That would be even more irresponsible to her and also unfair to Lao Yang.
"You said you have a girlfriend. Is your girlfriend the principal mentioned on the Internet?"
Lin Cheng was stunned and looked at the host in surprise.
