Forced to Date a Big Shot

27: Let Her Go

Following that, the classroom exploded in an uproar:

"Who cares about that 3,000 yuan? How can it be stolen? Class president, did you misplace it?"

"Yes. Class president, you should look again."

The poorer students had financial assistance from the school and, hence, they need not be worried about their finances.

The rest of them were all from wealthy families. The international school's yearly tuition fee of 500,000 yuan was not something the average family could afford, so it was even more implausible for them to have stolen this money.

However, as the class president and mathematics subject representative, Zhou Zhen had a frown and said solemnly, "I am sure that I left it in the desk drawer yesterday. I can't be wrong about that."

Xue Yao suddenly said in a tone filled with implied meaning, "Actually, there are people who are short on money. Wasn't someone's bank card confiscated by her family?"

Everyone promptly turned to look at Qin Shuang.

Xue Xi paused, put down her handphone, and poked the girl.

Qin Shuang turned her head around lethargically. Her head was still hanging low. "Xixi."

She had a complicated look on her face. "I dyed my hair back and didn't go out to play the whole weekend. Yesterday, I even listened to you and did my homework. My parents actually praised me this morning."

She nudged her lips. "Actually, they always felt that I was too rebellious and didn't like me. They have already given up on me and like only Qin Lu. I was already used to it and treated it as though I don't have parents, but today..."

Her voice became softer and softer, and her expression slowly became filled with disorientation.

Xue Xi was unable to understand her complicated feelings, nor did she know how to reassure her. Just as she was concocting a speech to speak to her, Zhou Zhen walked over. "Qin Shuang, did you take the class fund?"

Qin Shuang instantly jumped in anger upon hearing this. "You're saying that I stole the money? What a joke! Zhou Zhen, this is called slandering!"

The class president had a weak personality and scratched his head in fright. "I-I was only asking..."

He turned around and moved to leave right after that.

Annoyed, Qin Shuang reached into her desk drawer and pulled out the topmost book to place on the table. Right at this instant, a thick envelope fell onto the ground with a loud "Plop!"

When Zhou Zhen instinctively looked down, he realized with a startle that it was a familiar-looking envelope.

He bent down to pick it up. When he opened up the envelope, a huge and thick stack of fifty and hundred bills were revealed!

He angrily huffed, "Qin Shuang, so you did steal it!"

Qin Shuang was dumbstruck too. "Why is the class fund with me?"

Xue Yao coldly harrumphed. "Shouldn't we be the ones asking you? Why is the class fund with you? Qin Shuang, no matter how short on money you are, you shouldn't be resorting to stealing, right?"

"Qin Shuang, what does this mean? You must give us an explanation today!"

Qin Shuang was flustered. "I didn't steal it! Someone must have framed me. Doesn't the classroom have surveillance cameras? Go get it! Check it!"

Given such an incident, no one was in any mood to study. Moreover, as the first period was Old Liu's mathematics class, he promptly decided to halt the lesson and check the surveillance cameras.
