"What??"
As soon as Lu Sheng said this, everyone in the family was shocked.
"...What?" Lu Jingyan’s eyes widened, "Shengsheng, are you saying that the report claims that Dean Peng used a special admission slot to lure you? And that the girl who gave money and gifts to Professor Peng was also you?"
"What the hell?" Jiang Ting got anxious as soon as she heard it, cursing as it involved Lu Sheng, "What crap is that report spouting!"
"It’s clear that Professor Peng valued our Shengsheng’s talents and actively offered her the slot, how could it become luring?"
Lu Sheng spoke with a serious tone: "Dean Peng has indeed never used a slot to lure me in any way, and that bank card and gifts were indeed my own things."
"That article is completely based on a few stolen photos and on the fact that Professor Peng wanted to give me the slot, fabricating rumors out of thin air."
"The so-called whistleblower wants to use this incident to destroy Professor Peng’s reputation, subject him to public condemnation and ruined fame, and even face more severe punishment."
Lu Jingyan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
When he first saw the Weibo post this morning, he didn’t take the article about Peng Hongyuan seriously.
After all, he didn’t know Professor Peng, and he only remembered him because of the time Lu Sheng received a call from Peng Hongyuan, so he took a closer look.
Lu Jingyan had never imagined that the underage girl mentioned in the report as being lured would be his own sister.
He was originally skeptical about the authenticity of the news content, but now it’s clear that it is certainly a rumor, and his precious sister was also wrongly caught up in it.
Luckily, the photos of Lu Sheng were blurred out. If they hadn’t been and it led to negative comments about Shengsheng, he’d go to great lengths to find that sneaky whistleblower and rumor monger!
Lu Ziye also put away his usual carefree smile and asked seriously, "Sweetie, from the tone of your voice, do you know who is fanning the flames behind this?"
"Yes, that’s what I came back to discuss with mom," she replied.
Lu Sheng nodded, then turned to Jiang Ting and said, "Mom, Professor Peng told me that the person who took the pictures and spread the rumors might be Professor Jiang."
"Professor Jiang?" Jiang Ting was surprised, her mouth agape, "...Shengsheng, are you talking about your uncle?"
Although Lu Sheng never called Jiang Yusheng uncle, Jiang Yusheng was after all Jiang Ting’s brother and indeed her uncle by seniority.
Lu Sheng repeated what Peng Hongyuan had told her earlier.
She mentioned that Jiang Yusheng was vetoed by Peng Hongyuan when he was about to be promoted from vice dean to dean, and he might bear a grudge and do something like this.
She also said that the matter was getting more heated, and if it turns serious and beyond control, Professor Peng could be crushed by public opinion and his life completely destroyed.
Therefore, she wanted to find Jiang Yusheng on behalf of Professor Peng to clear things up. If it indeed was him, she wanted him to go clarify.
"...Shengsheng," upon hearing this, Jiang Ting took a deep breath, as if making up her mind before speaking, "Your uncle is my own brother, I know his character."
