Chaoter-18: Truth Behind The Scandal

Xiao Bo, Xin Yi, and Shen Yu were still sitting under the cherry blossom tree in the garden, backside of the University.

"I didn't bite off the B city mayor's thing," Xiao Bo spouted looking nervous.

Xin Yi and Shen Yu looked at him they wanted to laugh at the sentence but maintained their composure and told him to continue so taking a deep breathe the smaller started,

"My Father is a money-minded person. He will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn't care about me and Wei Dage even if we are his sons. Especially, he hates me because I am not talented in studies like Dage so he..."

Xiao Bo looked at his friends hesitantly. Xin Yi gave an assured smile that it was okay for him to say everything on his mind and Shen Yu squeezed the smaller's palm encouraging him to speak up.

"He used to hit me whenever I didn't get good grades or if he was just in a bad mood. I can bear with all of it because of Wei Dage who used to help me in secret without my father knowing. And a month back when Wei Dage left for a business trip, Father took me to B city. I didn't wanna go with him but I was scared to refuse him so I went with him."

Xin Yi and Shen Yu could sense the anxiety of the smaller, they rubbed his back gently.

"There he took me to a Villa where the B city's mayor, famous businessmen, and some of my Father's friends were there. I got terrified seeing them there altogether cause Father's friends would always look at me creepily and try to grope me whenever possible..."

Shen Yu gritted his teeth hearing it.

"So I cried that I wanted to go back, seeing them all in one place but Father told me to entertain them and they will sponsor me if I did well. And the mayor... he..." Xiao Bo couldn't speak further as his eyes became glossy remembering it.

He didn't go through that in this life but in his last life, he did which made his life worse than it was as he offended the powerful people and there was no one to back him up not even his father.

They took their revenge on him when Song Yi Ming sold him to the brothel by playing with him and using him as their cumdump. Just remembering it made Xiao Bo shiver badly.

"Xiao Xiao," Xin Yi hugged him and patted his back.

"Xiao-Er, if you don't want to speak about it we understand, so please don't cry," Shen Yu caressed the smaller's head.

Xiao Bo broke the hug and wiped his tears, "N-No, I want to tell you both."

"Okay," Xin Yi and Shen Yi nodded.

"The mayor... he t-tried to force his thing into my mouth. I-I *hic* pushed him away and kicked him in the middle and ran away from there," Xiao Bo was trembling as he spoke.

"So, that was what happened. Those old pervert bastards!" Shen Yu fumed in anger.

"I-I don't know why... but my Father's friends would always try to touch me, it's gross and when I reject them they would hit me and complain to my Father and he... he..."

Xiao Bo was trying to speak while wiping the tears that were falling down his cheeks making his vision blurry.

"He would abuse you?" Xin Yi asked and Xiao Bo nodded to that.

"Do you both believe me?" Xiao Bo asked while sniffing.

"Of course, why wouldn't we?" Shen Yu brushed the smaller's fringes and tucked them back into his ears.

Xiao Bo's lips formed into a pout,

"Cause no one ever believed me *hic* they always said *hic* I seduced them *hic* they said I am a *hic* s-slut... but I-I am not, trust me *hic* I-I hate it. I hate the way they look at me... I feel like worms crawling on my skin."

Xin Yi and Shen Yu found the smaller so pitiful. All this time he was keeping everything to himself cause whenever he tried to voice out his worries no one would ever believe him and in return would accuse him of the things he never did.

They both hugged him immediately, "We both trust you, Xiao Xiao. And don't worry no one will do anything to you from now on. We will protect you."

"Yes, I will fucking kill those bastards if they even try to lay a finger on you," Shen Yu looked, determined.

After hearing that Xiao Bo broke down in their embrace feeling relieved.

Cause he could never tell anyone what was going on with him as no one ever talked with him.

They would always look at him with a disgusted expression and would avoid him.

Called him degrading names and some would even try to touch him inappropriately trying to insult him further.

It was all hell for him. But now he has friends with whom he can share his problems and they would listen and trust him. Which was like a miracle to him.

Xiao Bo felt light in his heart as if he had thrown out a big burden from his chest.

Wang Mu Chen's face was filled with rage as he heard everything the smaller was telling his friends.

He came there after going to his class to give him the medicine which he deliberately forgot to give so that he could have more chances to meet with him with the excuse of feeding him the pills.

Then he got to know that the students boycotted the class due to the quarrel between Xiao Bo and the Professor.

Mu Chen thought that Xiao Bo started showing his true colors of being a spoiled young master of a rich and powerful family.

He got angry at himself for thinking that Xiao Bo was innocent, naive, and pure.

He threw the medicines bag in the trash can and searched for him to teach him a lesson. He spotted Xiao Bo with Xin Yi and Shen Yu.

He marched there to yeet him away from his cousin and childhood friend but when he got closer to them he stopped in his tracks and listened to what the smaller was saying.

Guilt washed over him as if a bucket of ice-cold water splashed on his head at once as he heard the smaller's words.

To think he would misunderstand him again just because of his prejudice from the rumors he heard about Xiao Bo...he was ashamed of himself for judging him without knowing the truth.

He balled his fist tight as his chest burned just thinking about someone improperly touching Xiao Bo.

Blood rushed through his veins as his nerves popped up, his jaw tightened, and the blood vessel on his temple bulged out.

>>>I was wrong... I was... he is just...

He turned back and walked away from them. Took out his phone and called his secretary,

"Le Yang..."

He sounded serious and ordered his secretary something and hung up the call.

Meanwhile, a student came running to the three friends who were hugging each other.

"Xiao Bo, the Dean is looking for you."

Xiao Bo's face paled as he heard that. He nervously looked at his friends who nodded their heads.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao. We will go with you," Xin Yi assured as they got up.

The three of them strode toward the Dean's office.

Xiao Bo was scared, Shen Yu was ready to throw hands, and Xin Yi was planning to get them out of the problem using any means necessary.

Xiao Bo knocked on the door nervously and heard a stern, "Come in."

Gulping his saliva Xiao Bo entered the room along with his friends.

The Dean was sitting on his chair while the Principal and the Professor were standing beside him.

"Good morning, sir. I am Song Xiao Bo," the smaller bowed in respect.

The Dean frowned looking at the other two,

"I suppose I have only called one Xiao Bo then why are there three people?"

"I am Feng Xin Yi, sir."

"I am Cao Shen Yu, sir."

They both bowed after introducing themselves politely. The Professor whispered something in the Dean's ear.

"You both get out. I need to talk with Song Xiao Bo," the Dean said in his loud voice.

"No, sir. I am afraid the Professor had told you only half of what happened in the classroom and accused our friend Xiao Bo. So, I am here to clarify things," Xin Yi's eyes showed no fear.

The Professor gritted his teeth, "You!"

"Please calm down, Professor," the Principal intervened.

"So what happened in the classroom? Care to explain Feng Xin Yi," the Dean asked.

"The Professor did not take any action when students were using abusive language in the class against their classmate, Xiao Bo. Then he agreed with them and used profanity and condemned my friend without knowing the facts. Is that the proper behavior of a Professor who teaches us? I don't think so that's why we boycotted his class."

Xin Yi explained with grace looking straight with confidence.

The Dean looked at the Professor with a frown on his face,

"Is what Xin Yi said the truth, Professor?"

"So what if I didn't stop the students? They weren't lying. It's the truth that Xiao Bo got admission to this University by sleeping with the investors, am I wrong, Sir?" The Professor looked proud.

Shen Yu was about to explode at the professor when,

"Yes, you are wrong, Professor."

Wang Mu Chen entered the room having a looming look on his face.

Seeing him, the Dean stood up in a second, "Why are you here, Young Master Wang?"

The Principal looked troubled and the Professor was frozen on his spot.

Xin Yi and Shen Yu's faces lightened up as they saw him while Xiao Bo got frightened thinking that Wang Mu Chen was here to side with the professor as he did in his last life.

Wang Mu Chen raised his left eyebrow,

"What's going on here, Dean?"
