"Sheng Mingzhou, what are you doing?" Sheng Mother was so angry she smacked him on the back. "How could you do something like this? Apologize to Anya's parents and Luoluo right now!"
Sheng Mingzhou pulled free of her grip. "Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong! I just told the truth! I want Shen Luoluo out of Rocket Class!"
"Besides, isn't Shen Luoluo just an illegitimate—"
"Sheng Mingzhou!" Smack! Sheng Mother slapped him across the face.
Sheng Mingzhou covered his cheek and stared at her in disbelief. "Mom, you hit me?"
The director of the Academic Affairs Office hurried between them. "Mingzhou's mother, let's talk this through. Please don't hit him."
"Sheng Mingzhou, apologize this instant!"
"No need." Shen Ting'an stood. "Since Mingzhou doesn't recognize his mistake, forcing him won't help. Where is Chairman Sheng? We should discuss calling off the engagement. The Shen Family isn't worthy of a young master of the Sheng Family like him!"
Sheng Mingzhou froze. Had he heard that right? Call off the engagement? How had it come to this?
Sheng Mother quickly stopped Shen Ting'an. "Anya's father, please listen to me. Mingzhou's father is already at school. He had something urgent to discuss with a teacher. Give me a moment. I'll call him and have him come deal with this brat!"
Just then, Shen Luoluo's voice sounded in everyone's minds—
No way. At a time like this, Sheng Yu still has time to meet his lover? Guess his lover matters more than his son!
Everyone froze, especially Sheng Mingzhou, who stared blankly at Shen Luoluo.
Sheng Mother looked as though she already knew. She paused for just a second, then took out her phone and continued dialing.
Let me see who this lover is. They must be irresistible if he's willing to abandon his son.
In fact, when Shen Luoluo had looked into Sheng Mingzhou a few days earlier, she had learned that his father had a lover who taught at the school. She simply hadn't paid attention to who it was.
The director of the Academic Affairs Office was already pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his brow.
Found him—
Han Cheng, head of the first-year teaching group?
Huh? His lover's a man?
"Sheng Mingzhou! Where are you going?"
Shen Luoluo looked up. He had already bolted.
Chapter 10
The son caught his own father in the act!
The Academic Affairs Office was on the fifth floor, and the teaching group head's office was on the fourth. With only one floor between them, it took no time at all. The group chased Sheng Mingzhou to the fourth floor, but they were still a step too late.
Sheng Mingzhou stopped outside the office of the first-year teaching group head, raised his foot, and kicked the door open without hesitation.
Bang!
Inside, Sheng Yu and Han Cheng were in each other's arms.
Neither had expected anyone to come by. They stood there stunned, still holding each other face-to-face.
Their clothes and ties were disheveled, their breathing unsteady, their eyes hazy.
Only when Sheng Mingzhou's fist struck Han Cheng's face did they react.
"Sheng Mingzhou, stop! Let me explain!"
"What's there to explain? I'm not fucking blind!"
Sheng Yu stepped forward to pull him away, only for Sheng Mingzhou to swing back and punch him in the face. His glasses flew off and hit the floor.
Sheng Yu saw the crowd watching from the doorway. Rage, shame, and humiliation surged through him. "Sheng Mingzhou, have you lost your mind? Look carefully at who you're hitting!"
"I'm hitting you two cheating bastards!" Sheng Mingzhou's eyes were red with fury. He had lost all reason and wanted nothing more than to kill them both on the spot.
As if deliberately provoking him, Han Cheng moved toward Sheng Yu. "Sheng Yu, are you all right?" He reached out to help him up.
"Touch him again. I dare you." Sheng Mingzhou seized Han Cheng by the collar. Though only sixteen or seventeen, he hauled the grown man up with ease.
"Sheng Mingzhou," Han Cheng said with a sudden laugh, "killing me won't change anything. Your father was gay all along! He never loved you or your mother. I'm the only one he truly loves!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Sheng Mingzhou raised his foot and kicked Han Cheng in the stomach.
He held nothing back. Han Cheng curled up on the floor, unable to get up.
Shen Luoluo watched the spectacle coldly, digging deeper as she watched.
No wonder Sheng Mingzhou found Han Cheng's office so quickly. Han Cheng was his homeroom teacher in his first year!
The onlookers drew sharp breaths. They had heard plenty about student-teacher affairs, but they had never expected to see a student's parent involved with a teacher. And both men, at that!
The director of the Academic Affairs Office started wiping his brow again.
This is bad, this is bad! A teacher getting involved with a parent? The school won't escape responsibility!
No wonder Sheng Mingzhou is so furious. If he hadn't kept causing trouble in his first year and getting his father called in, Sheng Yu and Han Cheng would never have spent so much time together. They might never have gotten involved.
But you can't put all the blame on Sheng Mingzhou... Shen Luoluo kept digging.
The onlookers held their breath and strained to listen.
So what had really happened?
Han Cheng was no good from the start. He met countless students' parents and picked through them carefully before settling on Sheng Mingzhou's father, Sheng Yu. Sheng Yu wasn't just rich—he was deep in the closet!
Deep in the closet? What did that mean?
Zhao Huizhen and Shen Ting'an frowned. The phrase was beyond them.
In other words, Sheng Yu was always attracted to men, but he didn't dare admit it. He even thought being gay was terribly shameful. He married a woman and had a child to deny the truth about himself.
Han Cheng figured that out. Using his connection to Sheng Mingzhou, he kept finding excuses to meet Sheng Yu, then slowly coaxed him into coming out. He watched Sheng Yu struggle and suffer until he finally accepted his feelings and fell hopelessly in love with Han Cheng!
