The Young Matriarch

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Be Careful to Receive a Summons from the Court
 

Last night, Xu Xingchen had locked his phone to make himself study seriously, and didn’t see any group messages or text notifications. By the time he unlocked it, the live stream had already ended.

So he had no choice but to search online for recorded videos.

To tell the truth… he didn’t find anything particularly special about them.

A girl retorted, “Class President, you need to watch the live stream. The recorded videos seem pretty useless.”

Xu Xingchen put on a gentle smile and couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s the difference? Do I have to watch it live for it to be useful? Is it really that mystical?”

A beautiful female voice came from the direction of the window, “The difference, Class President, is that you’ve committed copyright infringement.”

Upon hearing that voice, Xu Xingchen involuntarily shuddered!

It was Bai Chuwei’s voice!

Now, whenever Xu Xingchen saw Bai Chuwei, he was like a mouse facing a cat, his nerves immediately tensing up as he tried to muster a smile in her direction, “Copyright infringement?”

Bai Chuwei rested her chin in her hands, her tone meaningful, “Because that Immortal Teacher doesn’t allow recording of the video. You’ve viewed a pirated copy, be careful you don’t receive a court summons.”

Bai Chuwei had been tricked with a short video in the past, so she didn’t like them spreading. If she was going to watch, she would watch the live stream directly.

Xu Xingchen turned white with fright, “Classmate Bai, don’t scare me. The internet is full of these pirated recorded videos.”

“What if they choose to make an example of you?” Bai Chuwei asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Xu Xingchen’s face went through a kaleidoscope of emotions. If the Duan Family found out he was sued for copyright infringement, his grandfather would be even less likely to let him come home…

Xu Xingchen gritted his teeth in frustration. Why was it that nothing good ever happened when he encountered Bai Chuwei?

Quickly, Xu Xingchen took out his phone and deleted all the recorded videos stored on it. Only then did he feel relieved.

Duan Xingye sat beside Bai Chuwei, looking somewhat disappointed at Xu Xingchen’s actions.

He had always believed that Xu Xingchen shared his values.

Piracy is shameful!

Duan Xingye never watched pirated versions and would never support them!

But to think that hearing Xu Xingchen speak just now, it seemed as if he took it for granted…

Bai Chuwei asked with a mischievous smile from the side, “Duan Xingye, are you disillusioned?”

The corner of Duan Xingye’s mouth twitched, “No.”

Ever since he found out Xu Xingchen hadn’t told him about the malicious thoughts of his mother, he had seen through Xu Xingchen.

He considered Xu Xingchen a brother and a good friend, but the feeling was not mutual.

Xu Xingchen seemed to catch Duan Xingye’s gaze and suddenly thought of something. Taking advantage of the fact that class hadn’t started yet, he walked over to them.

Xu Xingchen didn’t dare look at Bai Chuwei, only at Duan Xingye, asking, “Xingye, has your father mentioned taking you up to the mountain to offer incense?”

The college entrance exam was approaching, and many parents would go to the mountain to pray, hoping to bless their children with a smooth exam.

Duan Xingye’s expression shifted slightly. Ever since last time, his dad had not yet come back home…

Xu Xingchen continued, “My father said that recently a hermit from Hengshan has drawn several Spirit Talismans to guarantee a smooth college entrance exam. He plans to buy a couple for you and me.”

Duan Xingye clenched the pen in his hand; he had never heard anything about this! His dad had never mentioned it.

Duan Xingye felt somewhat sad inside, feeling as though his dad didn’t have him in his heart.

Sitting on the side, Bai Chuwei laughed lightly, “Xu Xingchen, you keep saying ‘your father’ this and ‘your father’ that. People who don’t know better might think you’ve already taken the Duan surname and returned to the Duan Family.”
