Chapter 481: How could a person be this stupid?

Xu Zhengze looked at the people present, then at his girlfriend who had already lost control; he himself was now in a position where he could neither advance nor retreat.

He slowly took out his phone and handed it to Yu Xinxin. Yu Xinxin clearly knew the password; after quickly unlocking it, she flipped through the photos Xu Zhengze had secretly taken and picked out the clearest one where their behavior was most intimate.

She raised her hand, and the photo on the screen was enlarged right in front of Shi Ye.

"Senior, open your eyes wide and take a good look. Is the person in this photo Shen Ci?" Yu Xinxin's tone was once again filled with triumph, as if she could already see Shen Ci losing all face on the spot.

Feeling that this wasn't enough, she held the phone and actually began to circle the room, showing it clearly to everyone while muttering: "At noon on the same day, Shen Ci was on a date with Senior Shi Ye at the mall, browsing streetwear shops. And by evening, she had switched to this person. Look at the intimate actions between them; do you still think they have a normal relationship?"

After speaking, she returned to stand before Shen Ci and Shi Ye, staring straight at Shen Ci as she demanded: "Why aren't you saying anything? Shouldn't you give Senior Shi Ye an explanation?"

Shen Ci only wore an expression of looking at an idiot while watching Yu Xinxin. How could a person be this stupid?

Meanwhile, Shi Ye slowly turned his head to look at Xu Zhengze and asked expressionlessly: "Zhengze, is this the only reason you insisted on inviting me here today?"

Seeing that Senior Shi Ye remained completely unmoved, Xu Zhengze grew anxious: "Senior, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have meddled in your affairs, but I happened to run into her that night. After witnessing it, I really couldn't just watch you get deceived, so I secretly took the photos, thinking I'd find a suitable opportunity to tell you."

"Heh." Shi Ye was so angry he laughed. He was also speechless, because while Xu Zhengze's words sounded like he was truly doing it for his own good, the whole thing was just too absurd.

Even Shen Yuzhen stopped being angry, staying by Shen Ci's side with the look of someone waiting to watch a joke.

"Senior, you... you don't still think she's innocent after seeing these, do you? Look at these photos; she's been holding the other person's arm the whole time. This is clearly not a normal relationship." Seeing that Shi Ye remained unmoved, Xu Zhengze snatched the phone back and flipped through the other photos to show him.

The people around them watching the spectacle held their breath; after all, they were all from Longcheng University, all friends and classmates of Shi Ye.

This piece of gossip had come so unexpectedly, and seeing it with their own eyes was just too stimulating.

Those with weak wills were naturally led by the various pieces of information, initially thinking Yu Xinxin was a bully and sneering at her, then later feeling sympathy for Shen Ci.

Now, because of the exposed photos, they felt Shen Ci also had issues, and the most miserable one was Shi Ye, who had been kept in the dark.

This climax after climax was far more exciting than a summer blockbuster movie.

Who would have expected Shi Ye to impatiently push Xu Zhengze's phone away, then speak in a shockingly cold manner: "No need to show me these things. The relationship between them is naturally not normal, because the boy in the photos is Shen Ci's younger brother!"

With one sentence, the entire room went quiet.

Yu Xinxin's eyes widened, and Xu Zhengze was petrified on the spot.

The rest of the people silently breathed a sigh of relief for Shi Ye in their hearts.

Thank goodness, thank goodness; it wasn't what they had thought.

No wonder Shen Ci had been so calm from start to finish, without a hint of panic.

"Wh-what?" Xu Zhengze was completely dumbfounded. He held the phone and looked at the two people in the photo, struggling to find any trace of them being siblings on their faces.

But unfortunately, Shen Ci took after their mother, and Shen Xing took after their father; the two really didn't look alike. Other than both being highly attractive, one could say there was no resemblance at all.

These two people were siblings?

"Impossible!" Yu Xinxin had completely lost it. This was her most powerful evidence; how could they be siblings?

She stared blankly at Shi Ye: "Why go to the trouble of making up such an excuse to protect her, Senior? You're the one being played!"

Shi Ye sighed and turned to call out to Yuan Tao: "Yuan Tao, come take a look at the person in the photo."

Hearing this, Yuan Tao looked confused, but he still cooperated and walked over, taking the phone from Xu Zhengze's hand.

Although he didn't know the person in the phone, he had seen him, and not just once—every time he had been with Shi Ye.

So he let out an "Oh," and then said: "Isn't this that little junior from our Longcheng University?"

Yuan Tao looked at Shen Ci: "This is your brother?"

Shen Ci smiled and nodded: "Yes, my own brother."

"No wonder!" Yuan Tao realized, looking at Shi Ye: "No wonder you've always protected him at school; it turns out he's Shen Ci's own brother."

Shi Ye asked him: "Can you still remember his name?"

"Shen Xing, right? His name is quite easy to remember." Yuan Tao blurted out.

Shen Xing!

Shen Ci!

Doesn't that match up perfectly!

Shi Ye looked at the crowd again and said: "Shen Ci's brother is a junior at our Longcheng University. If you don't believe me, you can go back to Longcheng University and ask around; he's in the 'Chi Class,' it won't be hard to find out."

"How could this be..." Xu Zhengze was both ashamed and embarrassed; he wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. What had he done?

"I-I'm sorry, Senior, I..."

"You don't need to apologize to me. Before clarifying the truth of the matter, rashly framing a girl—your behavior is no different from spreading malicious rumors. You should apologize to Shen Ci," Shi Ye said solemnly.

Xu Zhengze was able to bend and stretch; he hurriedly looked at Shen Ci and said earnestly: "Shen Ci, I'm sorry. It was me who didn't understand the situation. I apologize to you for today's events."

Shen Ci was about to speak, but Yu Xinxin suddenly "suffered a sudden illness," grabbing Xu Zhengze's body and roaring: "Why are you apologizing to her? I am your girlfriend; you should be standing with me!"

"Xinxin, calm down. We wronged Shen Ci; of course we have to apologize!" Xu Zhengze tried to appease her with patience.

But Yu Xinxin's mentality had already collapsed. Because the final, crucial step hadn't succeeded, everything Shen Ci had said before now held weight in everyone's hearts!

She was now like a clown; in everyone's eyes, she was a bully, a petty person who framed others.

She was narrow-minded and aggressive; others looked at her as if looking at a madwoman who had brought disaster upon herself and was emotionally unstable!

"I did nothing wrong! I don't need to apologize to anyone, especially not her!" Yu Xinxin cried and screamed in a breakdown, glaring viciously at Shen Ci.

And Shen Ci just looked at her with contempt, too lazy to waste even one extra word on such an idiot.

The people around them showed expressions of displeasure upon seeing this.

And her good friend Han Ying felt implicated and ashamed, quietly walking away.

Seeing the farce end, Zhou Qian sighed lightly and looked at Xu Zhengze: "Your girlfriend looks like she needs to calm down. You should take her back first."
