Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 58 Support
"Damn it! Who said Qin Zhao stole the money?!"

"Lin Shi is her own brother! She would even care about three thousand yuan? You must be kidding me."

"They just said they were going to check her backpack. What a shameless person. If her parents find out, they'll tear the school board apart."

"..."

Lin Shi didn't offer a single explanation, and all the rumors and gossip mysteriously disappeared.

The center of public opinion has become the center of discussion.

Ming Weiwei's face turned extremely ugly.

Lin Shi's face still had that same stubborn, pretentious look.

Qin Zhao suddenly felt that he wasn't so annoying anymore.

She followed Lin Shi out of the classroom. He strode quickly, and Qin Zhao could barely keep up.

She didn't know why Lin Shi would change his mind and admit to their relationship at school.

But when he stood in front of her and said, "I am her brother, her own brother," a strange warmth flowed through her heart, and she felt completely at ease.

He was protecting her.

Long ago, during countless moments of isolation and helplessness, she also fantasized that a family member would be willing to stand by her side.

Grandma Jiang couldn't; she had to make choices, and she didn't have the strength.

Jiang Dahai wouldn't either; he was just one of many arrows aimed at her.

She had also fantasized about having an older brother who would protect her. So when she learned that Lin Shi was her brother, she genuinely hoped they could get along well.

She looked at her broad shoulders, opened her mouth, and the word "thank you" barely escaped her lips.

Lin Shi suddenly turned around and asked, "Did you take it?"

Caught off guard by the question, her smile froze on her face: "What?"

He sighed, seemingly a little annoyed: "If you took it, just give it back. Our family doesn't need that little bit of money. If you don't have enough, just ask your parents."

Qin Zhao's heart, which had just begun to flutter with excitement, sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant. Her eyes were fixed on him, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed: "What do you mean?"

"Is what that girl in your class said wrong? If it wasn't you, why are you making excuses? Where's the money your parents gave you?"

Lin Shi said, something he himself was reluctant to mention, "The household junk, which was originally meant to be thrown away, you collected and sold it. Before, you would buy some snacks every week, but you haven't bought anything in the past month. Can you honestly say you're not short of money?"

Qin Zhao felt incredibly suffocated, even more so than when he was in the classroom.

“This is different from where you were before. Nothing like this has ever happened at Yinghua,” Lin Shi said. “We don’t want to make a big deal out of this—”

"so what?"

Qin Zhao looked into his eyes, then suddenly looked away, giving a self-deprecating laugh: "Never mind."

Qin Zhao, he has no obligation to stand on your side.

She tried to calm herself down, her lips seemed to be curving into a smile, but her eyes were filled with a thick mist.

"Thank you for standing next to me just now." She paused for a moment. "You don't need to do that again."

"What do you mean?" Lin Shi frowned, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart, a feeling of unease like being suspended in mid-air.

"It doesn't mean anything. Even if you didn't come, I wouldn't say you're my brother and drag you down with me."

After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he left, his thin figure exuding a sense of determination.

Lin Shi's mind was in complete turmoil.

He cursed.

Seeing his dejected look, Chen Yu found it funny: "Weren't you supposed to be backing up Brother Qiangwen? Why do you look like a defeated rooster?"

Lin Shi scratched his head: "Do you think Qin Zhao would steal money?"

Chen Yu: "This..." He couldn't really comment.

"will not."

His clear, deep voice spoke slowly, conveying an undeniable firmness.

Lin Shi looked at Shen Yanci: "You trust her that much?" He closed his eyelids slightly: "Yes."

Lin Shi was even more annoyed!
Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore and asked him what was wrong. Lin Shi explained what had happened, and was made uneasy by Shen Yanci's deep gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that!"

"idiot."

"You son of a bitch!" Lin Shi was already seething with anger, and Shen Yanci's words provoked him so much that he exploded.

Chen Yu quickly intervened to break up the fight.

Lin Shi: "If you're so smart, why don't you go?"

"Am I her brother?"

"Yanci-ge, Yanci-ge is barking at a dog!" Lin Shi shouted frantically. "She's always been nicer to you than to me. If she had bothered me more, and I knew her better, I wouldn't have these suspicions. Is it abnormal for me to have these suspicions?"

Chen Yu weakly said, "It's no use Yan resigning now. What can you say? That he's her half-brother?"

"..."

As expected, the sports bureau came to poach him, and the teacher contacted Qin Qiong.

Physical Education Teacher: "Do you like long-distance running?"

Qin Zhao: "I don't like it."

"..."

After Qin Qiong arrived, the teacher explained the situation. The teacher from the sports bureau said that Qin Zhao's achievement without training was truly that of a genius.

After watching the video, Qin Qiong looked at Qin Zhao with starry eyes and exclaimed, "Zhao Zhao is so amazing!"

She originally thought Qin Zhao had just persevered and finished the race to win the gold medal, but she didn't expect him to achieve such a good result.

The sports bureau leaders echoed, "Qin Zhao is truly outstanding, possessing a rare talent. Therefore, we hope to discover more of her potential, and perhaps she can compete for world-class medals, stand out from the crowd, and contribute to the country."

Regarding compensation, we will cover all expenses during the training period, plus various subsidies and bonuses…

Qin Qiong glanced at Qin Zhao and smiled as he declined, saying, "Sports is a great cause, and it also means that athletes must give their all, train hard, and exchange their sweat for results. We all admire that very much."

"This result is just a very accidental phenomenon. I don't have any expectations for my Zhaozhao, I just hope she is healthy and happy."

This translates to: our children don't need to work hard anymore; they can just be happy.

The two teachers exchanged a glance upon seeing this.

Before they arrived, they were prepared to be rejected, after all, this was Yinghua International School, where students could enjoy life rather than struggle for it.

After the conversation.

Qin Qiong took Qin Zhao's hand and escorted her back to the classroom.

"Is that Qin Zhao's mother? She's so beautiful."

"Nonsense, just look at Lin Shi and you'll know his mother must be beautiful."

"Did you see her necklace? There are only 10 in the world, and it's worth tens of millions."

"I just went to the office. The sports bureau was poaching people, and Qin Zhao's mother almost said that my child was born to enjoy a life of luxury."

"Although the person who took the class funds hasn't been found yet, I'm 100% sure it wasn't Qin Zhao."

"What class fee?"

"It's the class fund, isn't it? Everyone suspects Qin Zhao took it when it's missing, right?" A gossipy classmate blurted out without paying attention, "But I don't think so—ah, ah, ah, hello Auntie!"

Under Qin Qiong's persistent questioning, the group recounted the whole story, adding at the end, "Now no one suspects her anymore."

"Is that so?" Qin Qiong asked with a half-smile.

"Zhaozhao, did you take it?"

Qin Zhao shook his head.

Qin Qiong's smile didn't reach her eyes: "Come on! Mom will back you up!"
