His fingertips were trembling, he held the phone shakily, and opened Weibo with a nervous expression.

Then the word "Suning" prominently displayed on the homepage dealt him a heavy blow.

Scrolling down the page, what comes into view is almost a full screen of "Suning", "Su Family", and the word "library".

Suning hadn't clicked in to read the main text yet, but after seeing the title, he was completely confused.

Did I break the law? Why was it listed on the hot search list?

Thinking back to yesterday, he didn't do anything!

It’s no wonder that Suning didn’t know that the library was donated by the Su family.

He seemed to have heard Su's father and mother mention it at Su's house, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

For him, as long as he could go to school smoothly, it was enough. As for relying on family resources or something, he never cared.

Su's father arranged all of this, but never explained it in detail to Suning.

So much so that after the library collapsed yesterday, Suning did not link the incident to himself at all, and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Feeling the gazes from those around him at this moment, he was no longer relaxed and satisfied. Instead, he felt like a thorn in his back.

With trembling hands, he clicked on the trending search and read it carefully, only then did he understand the truth of the matter.

The collapsed library of the school was donated by his family???

When he passed by yesterday, he and his friends complained about the school's failure to supervise and then scolded the construction company for treating human life as a joke.

Tell him today that this rubbish building was built by the Su family? His head was buzzing.

He had never expected this to happen. It was like a bolt from the blue. He was instantly petrified on the spot, not knowing how to react.

I wish there was a hole in the ground I could crawl into.

He could feel those gazes, as if they were sharp arrows that were going to pierce him and turn him into a hedgehog.

His body swayed uncontrollably from side to side, the panic in his heart continued to grow, and the expression on his face gradually changed from arrogance to panic.

How could this happen! He thought that giving a speech at the school anniversary celebration was an opportunity to show his talent, and he worked very hard to get this position.

But I never expected that something unexpected would happen.

Then didn’t his appearance yesterday backfire?

Originally, no one knew him except people in his major, but yesterday's speech made him known to the whole school's teachers and students.

If I just happened to encounter this incident, wouldn't I be exposing myself to everyone's eyes?

No wonder! Those people today looked at him like that, they must have recognized him, and they probably cursed him in their hearts!

Suning's palms were sweating, his feet were weak, and his eyes were dizzy.

He thought of his roommates' reactions, and suddenly glared at the three people who kept their distance from him, giving them an unfriendly look.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" The accusation was filled with anger.

The three of them were suddenly angered by him and felt unhappy. Originally, they had not said anything harsh to each other because they were roommates, but now they were blamed by Suning.

Especially the curly-haired boy, who looked unconvinced: "Don't you know what it has to do with us?"

Who made him look at him with such vicious eyes in the dormitory just now? Otherwise, he would have asked him earlier, and Suning would have known about it in advance.

"Did we force you to go to school even though you have no grades? Did we force your family to donate to the library even though they have no financial resources? Why don't you ask about the good things your family has done?"

Suning was speechless, because the fact that he entered through the back door was a fact and could not be argued with.

He stood there, at a loss as to what to do, his face completely pale and looking very ugly.

Now, not only were people pointing fingers at him, but this embarrassing moment was also witnessed by Su Mu.

Nothing could make Su Mu feel more humiliated than letting him see his embarrassing scene.

As for the library incident, no one died. If it collapsed, it was rebuilt. Why put the blame on him? He was not aware of it at all.

Su Mu kept watching the changes in Suning's expression, from his initial calmness, to his anger, and now to his embarrassment.

He saw it all, and felt very pleased.

Suning was right about one thing. The more depressed he was, the happier Su Mu was.

As soon as Su Ning raised his head, he caught the teasing and mocking expression on Su Mu's face. His cheeks instantly turned red and he felt ashamed.

He couldn't stay there any longer, so he pushed through the crowd and fled the scene in a panic.

"Tsk, so boring, scared them away." Gao Yang muttered, obviously not having a good time.

Su Mu stared at Su Ning's fleeing back, his mouth corners raised, feeling extremely satisfied.

After getting away, Su Ning, who was walking out of the school with his head down in shame and anger, received a call from his father.

"Where are you? Get back here!"

Su Ning was already holding a grudge, but before he could say anything, he was harshly scolded by Su's father.

For the first time, Suning retorted without thinking of the consequences, "Dad, do you know that I have become the target of public criticism because of you?"

Su's father on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then felt angry. This was the first time he felt that Su Ning was so ignorant since he brought Su Ning back to the Su family.

"The library of your school collapsed. Why didn't you tell me when you came back yesterday?"

"Do you know that if you had told me yesterday, I could have asked the public relations department to handle this matter earlier, and the Su family would not have been implicated today."

"Because you didn't tell me about this when you came back, when the incident started to ferment today, the Su family didn't respond at all. The company's Weibo was flooded with comments, and the stock price fell several times!"

Father Su was also very angry. He had finally gotten financial assistance from the Chu family to get the company back on track. He didn't expect that the stock price would fall because of something like this.

If Suning had told him earlier, he could have handled it overnight and used all his connections to prevent this from becoming a hot topic.

"Dad, what are you talking about! How do I know that library is related to our family?"

"Besides, I haven't blamed you yet. If you hadn't cut corners, would this have happened?"

"If this hadn't happened, would I have been made a laughing stock? And would Su Mu have seen me?"

Suning was venting his grievances on the other end of the phone, feeling that he was clearly the victim, yet now he had to endure his father's blame.

Father Su yelled angrily, "Rebellious son, what do you think you can rely on to go to college! If your grades weren't so bad, would your family have to give you money? Do you know how much a library costs? If I didn't cut corners, the Su family would be in big trouble!"

Both the father and the son were angry and blamed each other.

One blamed the library for not being built well and implicating himself, and the other blamed the fact that the news was not told to him earlier and he missed the best opportunity to respond to public opinion.

But no one cared about the impact of the library's collapse, or felt lucky that no one was injured. Both of them only cared about the part that affected their own interests.
