Chapter 1 I had sponsored a struggling student for three years, and when she wanted a summer job, I arranged for her to work at my husband's company. A few months later, she burst into my office with a bulging belly, tearfully accusing me: "I knew it! You never had good intentions when you sponsored me!" "Now I'm pregnant with CEO Smith's child, and he's suddenly disappeared. Did you hide him?" Her brother looked even more ferocious, pointing at my nose and yelling: "If it weren't for your fake kindness, how would my sister have met such a scumbag?" "Getting her pregnant and then trying to run? No way!" "Either pay up or get a divorce and let her be Mrs. Smith. It's your choice!" The news spread quickly, and the internet was full of curses. Everyone said I was a pimp, using the guise of sponsoring poor students to find mistresses for my husband. But I just laughed. If she could really get pregnant by my husband, I'd have to apply for a patent. ... I was grading papers when my office door was slammed open by a menacing man. "Where's your husband, Cheng? Did you hide him?" "He got my sister pregnant and wants to run? In his dreams!" Fang Ting stood behind him, protecting her belly, her eyes red. Beside her was a girl live-streaming the whole thing. I frowned. "Fang Ting, why are you here?" Fang Ting choked up, "Ms. Cheng, I really have no other way. CEO Smith is missing, I can't find him..." "And I have a special condition; the doctor says I can't have an abortion..." I leaned back and looked at her quietly. "So? What do you want by coming here today?" Fang Qiang sneered, "Two options! Either let Smith marry my sister! Or pay up! My sister is a top student at an Ivy League school, and your beast of a husband ruined her!" The girl holding the phone immediately chimed in, "Guys, look at this 'teacher'! She pretends to help poor students but is actually pimping for her husband! Fang Ting is so pitiful. She worked so hard to get out of the countryside, only to fall into this trap!" The comments were scrolling frantically: "Real or fake? This teacher looks quiet, but she's worse than a beast!" "Exactly! The girl looks barely eighteen or nineteen. Her life is ruined!" A crowd of curious students gathered at the office door, their whispers growing louder. I stood up, walked to the water cooler, poured a cup, and took a sip. "Are you done?" Fang Qiang raged, "What's with your attitude! My sister is carrying your husband's seed!" "Impossible," I tossed the paper cup into the trash can. "The child in her belly is absolutely not my husband's." Fang Ting's eyes instantly turned red. "Ms. Cheng, I know it's hard for you to accept, but it's the truth! That night, CEO Smith got me drunk, and when I woke up... he said he truly liked me..." "Oh?" I raised an eyebrow. "CEO Smith told you himself that he liked you?" Fang Ting nodded vigorously and pulled a stack of photos from her bag. "These are the evidence, Ms. Cheng. If I'm lying, may lightning strike me!" I glanced at the photos. The angles were tricky, but I could see Smith's profile and Fang Ting leaning on him. The hotel surveillance screenshot was clear, dated one night three months ago. "The photos are real," I said. Fang Qiang immediately gloated, "See! I told you..." "But the child isn't my husband's," I interrupted him. "Fang Ting, if you leave now, I can pretend this never happened. If you keep making a scene, I'll call the police." Chapter 2 The girl live-streaming immediately screamed: "We should be the ones calling the police! Ms. Cheng, your husband raped a college student and got her pregnant. You're an accomplice!" The live stream chat exploded: "Is this teacher crazy? The evidence is solid, and she's still denying it!" "Where's the dean? Why isn't she fired yet?" "Don't be afraid, Fang Ting. Tens of thousands of us support you!" Several female students watching at the door were already teary-eyed. "Fang Ting is so pitiful! Betrayed by the teacher she trusted most and given to an old man!" "Exactly, someone like her doesn't deserve to be a teacher!" Fang Ting clutched her belly, crying so hard she could barely stand. I felt a chill in my heart. Three years ago, I traveled to Yufeng Village. I saw Fang Ting's parents trying to marry her off to a fifty-something bachelor just before her college entrance exams to get a dowry for her brother. She knelt in the mud, hugging me and begging, "Teacher, I want to study. Please help me..." I softened. Not only did I stop the marriage, but I also promised to sponsor her until she graduated college. She worked hard and got into a top university. The day she got her acceptance letter, she called me crying, "Ms. Cheng, I will study hard and repay you in the future." I was so gratified back then. This summer, she said she wanted to earn her own living expenses. I thought about it and arranged for her to work-study at my husband's company. I thought I was helping her. Now it seems I was digging my own grave! Seeing my silence, Fang Ting looked up and bit her lip: "Ms. Cheng, I know you and CEO Smith have a good relationship, but my child is innocent..." Fang Qiang immediately interrupted, "Tingting, you're just too soft-hearted! Even if that scumbag is willing to divorce this old woman and marry you, you still need to ask for a million dollars in emotional damages!" I laughed and raised an eyebrow: "A million dollars? Fang Ting, do you think you're worth that price?" The students gasped: "Is that something a human would say? Disgusting!" "Yeah! So vicious! I hope her daughter encounters the same thing in the future!" "Someone like her doesn't deserve children!" Fang Ting's face turned pale, and she almost fell. The girl live-streaming quickly supported her and cried to the camera, "Everyone saw it! This woman doesn't treat Tingting like a human being!" Fang Qiang was furious. He grabbed the water cup on the table and was about to throw it. I looked at him coldly. "Try throwing it! Intentional property damage, provoking trouble. That's enough for you to stay in detention for a few days." His hand froze in mid-air. "And you," I glanced at the girl live-streaming, "livestreaming in the office without permission, invading privacy. Believe it or not, I can call security right now and give you a major demerit?" The girl's face changed. Seeing this, Fang Ting cried even harder, "Ms. Cheng, how could you be like this? I came to you because I had no other choice. If CEO Smith was willing to take responsibility, I wouldn't bother you..." "Take responsibility?" I stood up. "For what? For something he never did?" I walked up to her and stared into her eyes. "Fang Ting, search your conscience and tell me, is the child in your belly really Smith's?" Her eyes flickered for a moment, then she said firmly, "Of course it's his!" "Is that so?" I smiled. "Then tell me, what color underwear was Smith wearing that night?" Chapter 3 The office fell silent instantly. Even the live stream chat paused for a second. Fang Ting froze, her mouth open, unable to make a sound. "What? Can't remember?" I pressed. "Or did you never see it?" "I was drunk..." she stammered. "Drunk, but you remember he forced you?" I continued. "Drunk, but you're sure the child is his?" Fang Qiang exploded, "Cheng Yue! Stop changing the subject! The evidence is right here, and you still want to deny it?" "A few blurry photos convict him?" I sneered. "Then can I just take a few photos of you walking with another woman and say you raped her?" "You!" "Also," I interrupted him, "how did you get the hotel surveillance footage? Would a hotel just give surveillance footage to strangers?" Fang Qiang was speechless. Fang Ting quickly explained, "My roommate used her connections..." "Oh?" I looked at her roommate. "Does your family own the hotel? Or do you know the owner?" The girl hemmed and hawed, "My cousin works there..." "What a coincidence?" I smiled. "Your cousin just happened to work at the hotel where Smith forced Fang Ting? Just happened to get the surveillance? Just happened to be willing to risk breaking the law to give you screenshots?" The sentiment in the live stream began to shift: "That makes sense..." "Yeah, hotel surveillance isn't something you can just get." "Right, if it was forced, why didn't she call the police immediately?" Just then, Fang Ting suddenly clutched her belly and squatted down. "My stomach hurts so much..." "Tingting!" Her roommate exclaimed. "That's too much! This old woman is definitely doing this on purpose! She's jealous that you're having her husband's child!" Fang Qiang also pointed at my nose and cursed, "Cheng Yue! If anything happens to my sister and the child, I won't let you off!" I watched their performance coldly. "Do you need me to call 911 for you?" Fang Ting curled up on the floor, tears streaming down her face. "Ms. Cheng, why push me like this? I just want justice..." "Justice?" I sneered, finding it incredibly ironic. "Fang Ting, when you knelt in the mud begging for my sponsorship, you said the same thing. You said you wanted to study, wanted a fair life." "Now that I've given you an education, given you a chance to change your destiny, this is how you repay me?" Her eyes darted away, afraid to look at me. "Cheng! Stop your moral kidnapping!" Fang Qiang roared. "So what if you sponsored her? Does sponsorship mean you can let your husband ruin my sister?" I stood up: "Enough. I'll say it one last time. First, Smith couldn't have forced anyone. Second, the child in your belly absolutely cannot be his!" "Third, if you continue to make trouble here, I will call the police immediately. The charge of slander is not light." The office was dead silent. The live stream chat scrolled frantically: "This teacher is tough! Her logic is clear!" "Yeah, she looks very confident!" "Is there a hidden story? Could it be a badger game?" Just then, Department Head Wang squeezed through the crowd and rushed in. "What's going on?!" Fang Qiang acted like he found a lifeline. "Director Wang, you're just in time! This Cheng Yue, her husband raped my sister. She's four months pregnant now, and they won't admit it, even accusing my sister of extortion!" Chapter 4 "Director Wang, they're lying," I said calmly. "My husband couldn't have gotten Fang Ting pregnant!" Fang Qiang raged, "Still stubborn even at death's door! Such a teacher is ruining the school's reputation! Director Wang, I demand Cheng Yue be fired immediately!" Director Wang looked at me with difficulty. "Ms. Cheng, why don't you go home and rest for a few days?" I looked at Director Wang. "Even you believe their nonsense?" Director Wang lowered his voice. "It's become such a mess, the impact is very bad! Ms. Cheng, you have to think about the school!" For the school, I should accept this baseless accusation? "Director Wang, if you punish me under pressure today, I will sue the school for defamation tomorrow. Think clearly!" Director Wang's face grew even uglier. Just then, Fang Ting suddenly got up from the floor and pulled a paper from her bag. "Ms. Cheng, I knew you wouldn't believe me easily, so I went for an amniocentesis paternity test last week!" She held the paper up to the camera. "The test results show that the biological father of the child in my belly matches CEO Smith's DNA by 99.99%." The office went instantly silent. After a few seconds of pause, the live stream chat exploded. "She asked for the hammer, she got the hammer! How can this old woman deny it now!" "Exactly, it's in black and white. Can this be fake?" "She won't cry until she sees the coffin. Still a teacher? Shameless!" Director Wang's face grew increasingly grim. Fang Qiang gloated, "Ironclad evidence! Cheng, what do you have to say now? Hurry up and pay the emotional damages! Five million, not a penny less!" Fang Ting cried and pulled her brother. "Brother, don't be like this. Ms. Cheng has been kind to me..." Fang Qiang shook her off. "She was kind to you, so she could let her husband force himself on you? Today, your brother must get justice for you!" The students watching at the door also started shouting: "We demand the school fire Ms. Cheng immediately! Police investigation! Punish this beastly couple severely!" The waves of voices grew higher, and someone even threw leftover milk tea at my head, splashing liquid everywhere. I looked at the test report and suddenly laughed. "This report is fake. Also, a paternity test requires DNA samples from both parties. Where did you get Smith's DNA?" Fang Ting's face instantly went white. "I got it from a cup he used..." I asked her, "Smith has a dedicated cup at the company, washed and sterilized immediately after every use. You said you got DNA, which day? Which cup?" Fang Ting was speechless. Fang Qiang immediately interjected, "Who cares how she got it! Anyway, the test report is real! If you don't believe it, we can go for another test right now!" "Okay," I said. "Let's go now. I'll have Smith come over for on-site sampling!" Fang Ting panicked. "Isn't CEO Smith missing?" I smiled. "Who said he's missing?" "I called and texted him these past few days, he didn't reply..." Fang Ting's voice grew smaller. "I went to the company to find him, the secretary said he was on a business trip..." "He was indeed on a business trip," I checked my watch. "But he should be back now." Fang Qiang's eyes lit up. "Great! Let him confront my sister face to face! I want to see what this rapist has to say!" The live stream chat buzzed again: "Waiting for the scumbag to show up!" "Does he dare to come to this kind of occasion? Probably ran away!" "Is this Cheng Yue stalling for time?" Director Wang quickly smoothed things over. "Ms. Cheng, if your husband can come, that would be best! Clearing things up face to face is good for everyone!" I took out my phone and dialed a number. "Yue?" Smith's voice came from the receiver. "I just finished a full body maintenance and was about to contact you. What's up?" "Come to my school office," I said. "Bring your full set of ID documents and product manual." "Manual?" Smith paused. "What happened?" I glanced at Fang Ting, meaningful: "Someone is pregnant with your child. Don't you want to come take a look?"
