Chapter 341: Chapter 340, Nie Xiaoyu Whose Destiny Was Altered

Deng Wencheng had a premonition.

Xu Wendong definitely would not give him money, even though that guy was wealthy, he was also an incredibly stingy fellow...

On the other side, Xu Wendong smoked a cigarette and returned to the restaurant, saying to Nie Xiaoyu, ”Settle your mind and prepare for another try at the high school entrance exam next year.”

Nie Xiaoyu nodded excitedly; although she was sure to be ridiculed for taking the exam at her age, as long as she could go to school, that was enough for her.

After dinner, Nie Xiaoyu did not leave either, as Lin Yiren insisted on keeping her to stay overnight in the guest room on the first floor.

Then, Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren returned to their bedroom, indulging in an unabashed, shameless, endless time of joy.

The next day.

The sun shone brightly.

Xu Wendong got up spiritedly, and upon coming to the first floor, found that Lin Yiren and Nie Xiaoyu had already prepared breakfast.

As the three of them were having breakfast.

Xu Wendong’s phone rang, displaying an unknown number.

He pressed the answer key and said hello, immediately hearing a familiar voice, ”Hello, Mister Xu, it’s Meng Lingjun.”

”Meng Ju, good morning,” Xu Wendong said, turning on the speakerphone because he knew Meng Lingjun would bring good news and wanted to share it with Nie Xiaoyu.

Meng Lingjun’s voice carried a hint of inexplicable tension: ”Mister Xu, upon investigating your friend’s student records, I found that the situation does not match what you told me.”

Xu Wendong instantly frowned, ”What do you mean?”

Nie Xiaoyu, beside him, turned pale as wax.

Meng Lingjun said, ”Your friend’s results in the first high school entrance exam were not ideal, but in her second attempt, she ranked first in the school, got into the county high school, and even achieved excellent marks to get into the Magic Capital Drama Academy in the university entrance exam. Now, she’s a sophomore there.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong instantly became unsettled, ”Meng Ju, are you joking? My friend is right here with me, how could she have enrolled in the Magic Capital Drama Academy?”

”Did you investigate the wrong person?”

”There’s no mistake,” Meng Lingjun replied with tension, ”In this situation, we cannot rule out that someone might have replaced her results.”

”What?” Xu Wendong abruptly stood up, ”You’re saying someone replaced my friend’s results?”

Just then, Lin Yiren suddenly exclaimed, ”Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu...”

Xu Wendong also noticed Nie Xiaoyu losing consciousness and immediately placed her on the sofa, confirming it was just a fainting spell before feeling relieved, not waking her up.

After all, facing such a severe blow, fainting was temporarily an escape.

But some things.

She would have to confront sooner or later.

”Meng Ju, do you happen to know who replaced my friend?” Xu Wendong grabbed his phone, regretting opening the speakerphone earlier.

Meng Lingjun said, ”I don’t know the person’s identity, but there’s a student photo. Would you like me to send it to you?”

”Alright, send it over!”

After hanging up, Xu Wendong received a photo from Meng Lingjun. The girl in it had clear, exquisite features, and was wearing a charming smile.

”It’s her?”

Xu Wendong showed an incredulous look.

He recognized the girl in the photo.

It was none other than the daughter of his former class teacher, Wang Yanru.

Back then, Wang Yanru was the head teacher of an elite class, but her daughter was a bona fide underachiever, taking advantage of her mother being a teacher in the school, behaving like a delinquent—smoking, drinking, and hanging out in internet cafes.

Regarding Wang Yanru, Xu Wendong held no fondness.

Because his humiliation in junior high was due to this woman. When he first experienced romantic feelings, he wrote a love letter to a girl he liked.

In the end, Wang Meng handed that letter to her aunt, none other than Wang Yanru.

Wang Yanru made Xu Wendong read the content of the love letter aloud in front of everyone, making him the talk of the school and creating a memory that fills him with fury even now.

”Wang Yanru was the head teacher of the elite class back then, and had good relations with several leaders in the school. With her influence, she could entirely let her daughter replace Xiaoyu’s results.”

”But this kind of underhanded deed, once exposed, wouldn’t just affect one or two people!”

Xu Wendong’s eyes radiated an icy coldness, determined to seek justice for Nie Xiaoyu.

”Meng Ju, can you help me investigate where Wang Yanru, the former teacher at Former Taiping Town Junior High, is working now?” Xu Wendong called Meng Lingjun again. He heard from someone before that Wang Yanru was transferred to the county due to her excellent abilities.

But he didn’t know the specifics.

Meng Lingjun replied efficiently, ”Wang Yanru is currently the vice principal at Nine High School.”

After a pause, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Mister Xu, do you think this matter is related to Wang Yanru?”

”Don’t worry about this, I’ll handle it properly. Alright, let’s leave it at that,” Xu Wendong said, hanging up the phone.

At the Education Bureau, Meng Lingjun rubbed his brow, appearing somewhat weary.

He actually wanted to intervene in this matter.

Because he could see that it was rife with corruption and darkness, once Xu Wendong delved into it, a batch of people would undoubtedly suffer, inevitably affecting the credibility of the Education Bureau.

If he took action, he could certainly calm the storm, turning major issues into minor ones.

But...

With the powerful backing behind Xu Wendong, he dared not defy him.

On the other side.

Xu Wendong took Nie Xiaoyu to the first-floor secondary bedroom, gesturing to Lin Yiren to leave first, then pinched Nie Xiaoyu’s acupuncture point for resuscitation, letting her gradually awaken.

Though Nie Xiaoyu opened her eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling, resembling a soulless body.

Only the subtle rise and fall of her chest proved she was still alive.

Xu Wendong, unwilling to see her like this, spoke softly, ”If you want to cry, just cry it out, you’ll feel a bit better.”

”Why should I cry?” Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, ”In fact, all these years I have always blamed myself, feeling I’ve let down my parents and grandpa’s expectations.”

”After all, I’ve always had good grades, and I should have been able to get into the county high school, even university.”

”But I didn’t receive an acceptance letter.”

”Wendong, you wouldn’t believe it, ever since my parents and grandpa passed away, I haven’t even visited their graves!”

”It’s not that I don’t miss them, but I’m ashamed to face them.”

”After all, I let them down...”

Xu Wendong spoke softly, ”You didn’t let them down, you’ve always been excellent. The reason things turned out this way is because some people abuse their power, complicating others’ lives to the maximum extent within their smallest power scopes, casually altering others’ life destinies!”

Nie Xiaoyu looked at Xu Wendong through teary eyes, full of grievance, as she tried hard not to let the tears fall, ”Wendong, why do they have to treat me like this? Just because I am a poor, lonely person?”

Upon saying that, tears flooded her eyes, and she sobbed, ”In their eyes, should poor people just die?”
