Chapter 165 The Gentle Male Supporting Role in Campus F4 (4)

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere became subtle and tense.

Lin Shen, Xu Jiamu and others stood in the corner, their expressions were cold, and they seemed to keep a distance from everything around them.

Lin Shen gently patted Xu Jiamu's shoulder to comfort him. Although they didn't speak, the tacit understanding between them was beyond words.

At this time, the Xu family's housekeeper came over and said to Xu Jiamu, "Master, Madam asked you to go to the room."

Xu Jiamu nodded slightly, gestured to Lin Shen and others, then turned and went upstairs.

Lin Shen looked at Xu Jiamu's back and couldn't help but worry. He knew that behind this banquet was not only the family dispute of the Xu family, but also the game of family interests.

After a while, Xu Jiamu came back, his expression more solemn than before. Lin Shen went up to him and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiamu shook his head and said nothing. He walked to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

At this time, the music in the banquet hall suddenly became louder, and the guests began to dance and talk, as if to break the previous awkward atmosphere. Lin Shen, Xu Jiamu and others stood quietly by, observing all this.

Halfway through the banquet, Lin Shen suddenly felt tired.

He gestured to Xu Jiamu and the others, then walked to the balcony alone to get some fresh air. The night breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, and Lin Shen's mood calmed down a little.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei looked at Lin Shen, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "Lin Shen, I know you don't like me, but I really don't mean any harm to you."

Lin Shen didn't say anything, his expression remained gentle.

Xia Weiwei looked sad, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She said softly, "Lin Shen, I don't care about this identity. It's just because of this that I can get close to you."

Xia Weiwei has always known that she and Lin Shen are not from the same world. She is like a rat in a gutter and can only peek at Lin Shen.

Now, someone told her that she could have a chance to get close to her, and she didn't care what the identity was.

But Xia Weiwei actually didn't expect that this would only make her and Lin Shen drift further and further apart. Lin Shen and the other three grew up together and were as close as brothers. Each other's business was their own business.

So this method can indeed allow them to meet and even have some interactions, but it is definitely not a good relationship.

Lin Shen looked at her coldly, his tone calm: "Xia Weiwei, your background has nothing to do with me. What do you want to say?"

Xia Weiwei bit her lip, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Lin Shen, I just want to say that I actually like you."

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xia Weiwei to say this. This was really something he couldn't have imagined.

But Lin Shen still had a slight smile on his face, and his voice was still calm: "Xia Weiwei, I respect your feelings, but I have no intention of falling in love. Besides, we have only met a few times so far, let alone our relationship. Now that you are related to the Xu family, I am afraid that the few of us will avoid you. This is already the biggest concession I have made."

Xia Weiwei's tears welled up in her eyes. She tried hard not to let them fall. Her voice was filled with pleading: "I know, I know I may not be worthy of you, but I just want you to know that my feelings are real. I won't disturb your life. I just hope you can give me a chance to prove myself."

Lin Shen frowned slightly. He was not used to dealing with such emotional issues, especially when the other party was a girl in such a complicated environment.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound gentle: "Xia Weiwei, love is not a transaction, and it cannot be established by proof. The most important thing for you now is to find your own position, rather than relying on others. I hope you can understand that I have no feelings or thoughts towards you."

Xia Weiwei's body trembled slightly. She knew that this was Lin Shen's final answer, but he was unwilling to accept it. "Can't we even be friends?"

Lin Shen pursed his lips and said, "That's not possible. Sorry."

She nodded and tried to force a smile: "I understand."

After saying that, Xia Weiwei turned and left the balcony, leaving Lin Shen standing alone in the night wind.

Lin Shen looked at the night scene in the distance, feeling a little helpless.

He knew that Xia Weiwei's feelings were a burden to him, and he still didn't understand the word "love".

Not long after, Lin Shen returned to the banquet hall.

Seeing this, Xu Jiamu immediately walked over, looked behind Lin Shen, and asked with concern: "Shen Shen, why did you take so long?"

Lin Shen shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing, just a little bit of cold wind."

Xu Jiamu nodded.

Wei Tianxing said stupidly: "I just saw Xia Weiwei coming out from your side, you two didn't meet each other, did you?"

Lin Shen looked at Wei Tianxing with amusement, "Yes, we met and talked for a few words."

Wei Tianxing was a little anxious. It seemed that Lin Shen had been gone for so long because of Xia Weiwei. It was really uncomfortable.

Wu Bai didn't say anything and was very quiet, but he kept looking at Lin Shen out of the corner of his eye, just like a "wife-watching stone".

The banquet finally came to an end and the guests left one after another.

Wei Tianxing, Wu Bai and Lin Shen were also preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Jiamu's mother came out, her eyes full of gratitude and worry.

She knew that having these friends around her son was her greatest comfort.

The three of them bowed slightly to Xu Jiamu's mother, showed concern for each other, and then left the Xu family villa with the others.

Since the party, there have been rumors in the school that Xia Weiwei is an illegitimate daughter.

After the banquet, the news that Xia Weiwei was the Xu family's illegitimate daughter spread like wildfire, quickly spreading to every corner of the school.

Students were whispering in classrooms, corridors, cafeterias, and even in the bathroom, discussing this sudden and explosive news.

Xia Weiwei's name became the hottest topic within the school for a while.

In high society, heirs attach particular importance to family honor and status.

Many of them have received strict education since childhood and have been instilled with the idea that family interests are above all else.

Therefore, they naturally have great prejudice and rejection towards the existence of illegitimate daughters who may threaten the purity of the family bloodline and the distribution of property.

Xia Weiwei's incident gave those classmates who were already jealous and dissatisfied with her an outlet to vent their anger.

They began to ridicule Xia Weiwei in various social occasions and private gatherings, and some even openly humiliated her in class.

Xia Weiwei's name has almost become synonymous with "betrayal" and "ambition".

What's worse is that Xia Weiwei had previously had a lot of contact with the four proud sons of the four major families in the school - Lin Shen, Xu Jiamu, Wei Tianxing and Wu Bai, which in itself made her the object of jealousy for many girls.

They couldn't accept that a nobody with an unknown background could have any connection with these people who stood at the top of the school pyramid.

Now that Xia Weiwei's true identity has been exposed, her situation has become even worse.

In the school corridors, wherever Xia Weiwei walked, whispers and ridicule could always be heard.

Fortunately, there was no actual behavior, but the mental bullying was enough to make Xia Weiwei a little overwhelmed.
