Everyone Wants to Pamper the Bigshot Researcher After Her Rebirth!

86  Slander

This was precisely the reaction Song Yin had hoped for. She strategically used such foggy words to defend Song Fan, aiming for everyone to believe that she was pregnant.

Though she hadn't overheard the entire conversation, she firmly believed that Song Fan was indeed pregnant. Otherwise, how could she have received Gu Chen's invitation? In her mind, Song Fan must have been Gu Chen's lover for a long time.

Song Yin wished she could post another thread to reveal what she believed to be Song Fan's true colors. However, she refrained from doing so due to Gu Chen's high status. If Gu Chen discovered she was behind the post, her big brother wouldn't be able to protect her.

Song Fan had been listening attentively to the discussion inside the classroom. It was her first class of the day, and she was standing outside the door, listening to their conversation.

In contrast to her composed demeanor, Song Kai, who had accompanied her to school, was losing his patience. He clenched his fists, utterly infuriated.

How could these people believe a random internet post? They hadn't even seen any evidence or a photo, yet they readily accepted the rumors as fact.

Song Fan put a calming hand on his fist and said, "Don't get so worked up. People are like this. They often believe what aligns with their preconceived notions, regardless of the truth."

With that, she pushed open the classroom door. The students were taken aback when they saw her. Just moments ago, they had been discussing rumors about her, and now they were face to face with the real person. The situation couldn't have been more awkward.

They wondered whether Song Fan had overheard their conversation and whether she would take issue with it.

Everyone fell silent and returned to their seats. It was likely the quietest class Song Fan had ever conducted.

Song Kai sat in front with a gloomy expression, occasionally turning his head to glare at these people. They knew that Song Fan must have heard everything.

When the class finally ended, Song Yin stopped Song Fan and said, "Sister, don't be too sad. I know it's all nonsense."

Song Fan had expected Song Yin to be unable to sit still, knowing she had created the post. She smiled and replied, "Why would I be sad? What are you talking about?"

Unconvinced that Song Fan didn't know about the rumors, Song Yin quickly said, "Sister, haven't you read the school forum? It's about you, right?"

Before Song Fan could respond, Song Kai couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and declared, "Those are groundless accusations, utterly untrustworthy! Yinyin, why are you so confused now?"

After seeing Song Kai fiercely defend Song Fan, Song Yin's anger surged even higher. He should be on her side, but he was now protecting Song Fan.

"I misspoke, that's not Sister at all," Song Yin said, feigning remorse, her head hanging low as if she were wronged.

This was the second time Song Kai had experienced this. The first time was when Song Yin pleaded with him to give her the spot for the banquet. Now, he wondered if Song Yin had treated Song Fan this way in the past and if they had been in the wrong.

Tingting couldn't remain silent any longer and chimed in, "I don't know if it's true or not, but you're eager to pin this on Miss Song. You're quite the caring sister."

Tingting's last remark was sarcastic, hinting that Song Yin might not be as innocent as she appeared. Song Yin turned to glare at her, saying, "Tingting, I'm explaining this on behalf of my sister. I don't want everyone to misunderstand. How could you say that about me?"

Tingting wasn't swayed and retorted, "Can't you just tell the truth?"

As she stood at the podium, Song Fan addressed her students sternly, "I've already traced the IP address of that post, and I intend to pursue a defamation lawsuit with the help of a lawyer. There's no need for any of you to be concerned about my reputation."

Her declaration held more weight than any explanation, causing many students to rethink their earlier remarks. However, a few remained defiant, saying, "Everyone can say the same."

Song Fan leveled a firm gaze at one of the girls and cautioned, "If you'd rather not face legal consequences, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. I'm not one to be taken lightly, and provoking me will only lead to trouble. If you're more interested in squabbling over a post than in learning, then perhaps there's no reason for you to attend this class."

Her blunt assessment left the entire classroom in stunned silence. None had anticipated that Song Fan would respond so directly.

Meanwhile, Song Yin was in a state of even greater panic. She had posted the thread from the Song Family's mansion, and the prospect of Song Fan tracing the IP address back to her filled her with terror.

The thought of facing a lawsuit was paralyzing, rendering her speechless. Furthermore, the fear of her brother discovering her involvement compounded her anxiety.
