Chapter 169 Planting the Seed
Shen Mianmian posed several questions very astutely. She didn’t express any ingratitude toward Zhou Siyu for helping her, nor did she directly accuse Zhou Siyu of lying. Instead, she merely pointed out a few key issues.
Shen Jianhua hadn’t attended school, so he was unaware of these procedures and therefore believed what Zhou Siyu said. But after Shen Mianmian’s remarks, he also began to harbor doubts.
Something about this situation didn’t seem quite right.
Both Yang Guifang and Zhou Lanfang were taken aback by Shen Mianmian’s words, having never doubted Zhou Siyu before. Now, after Shen Mianmian’s comments, they also felt that something was amiss.
"Sister, are you doubting me?" Zhou Siyu saw everyone beginning to doubt her and immediately felt aggrieved, "I meant well by trying to cheer you up. What do you mean by raising these questions?"
"It means nothing, I’m just voicing the doubts in my mind. If it really was your help, then thank you." After speaking, Shen Mianmian turned and went back into her room.
She had intentionally raised suspicions without exposing anyone, knowing that ultimately their family had benefitted and Shen Jianhua was unlikely to confront the principal.
Brother He aided the school anonymously, which showed he didn’t want to draw attention to himself or there may be other hidden reasons. She didn’t feel it was appropriate to bother him over this trivial matter.
