Chapter 55: Despicable
“I… I didn’t…” Qiao Rou’s body trembled, and she could not say anything for a long time.
Wang Qing reacted at this moment and went forward to support Qiao Rou, shouting, “So what if it was Qiao Rou who posted it? We’re just posting the truth on the forum! Qiao Xi is the one who’s a mistress!”
Qiao Rou had not run the university all these years in vain. As the goddess of Li City University, she had countless admirers. When a male student saw Qiao Rou crying from sorrow, the scale in his heart began to tilt. “That’s right. Although Qiao Rou’s actions this time were a little inappropriate, there wouldn’t be smoke without a fire. If Qiao Xi wasn’t someone else’s mistress, she wouldn’t have been photographed. Naturally, this storm wouldn’t have happened either. At the end of the day, it’s all because Qiao Xi is too insensible!”
The students supporting Qiao Xi were infuriated.
They were using flawed arguments to defend Qiao Rou!
The dean was anxious when he saw that the two parties were about to fight. What should he do now that the matter had developed to this stage?!
“Everyone, calm down. There must be a misunderstanding here. You guys should go to class first. After the university is done with the investigation, we’ll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
He wanted to persuade the students to go back first, but they were too agitated and no one was listening to him.
The students on Qiao Rou’s side sneered. “Explanation? I reckon that when the time comes, the university will simplify the matter, right?” With Qiao Xi’s identity as Gu Shan, the university won’t easily give up on her. It was also because they realized this that they came here to protest. They wanted to go look for the chancellor themselves to demand an explanation.
“Do you think so lowly of the university?”
Zhou Guanjin walked over unhurriedly. “The matter has not been confirmed yet, and the university hasn’t investigated whether Qiao Xi is a mistress. You guys claim with certainty that she’s a mistress just based on a photo. Is this the intellect of university students?”
With that said, he slowly patted the shoulder of the boy who had just spoken. “Calm down. Don’t end up being punished by the university for causing trouble while Qiao Xi ends up fine.”
“Why should we be punished? That photo didn’t come out of nowhere. It takes two hands to clap. If Qiao Xi hadn’t done those things, rumors wouldn’t have spread.”
Smack!
Zhou Guanjin raised his hand from the boy’s shoulder and raised it to slap the boy across his face. “Look, isn’t this considered a slap?”
The boy’s body trembled. He wanted to fly into a rage but did not dare to because of Zhou Guanjin’s identity.
The surroundings fell into a strange silence.
Zhou Guanjin acted as if he did not notice their abnormality. He slowly took out a tissue to wipe his hands. “Before you investigate this matter clearly, don’t let me hear any more nonsense. Otherwise…” He curled his lips lightly.” You’ll face the repercussions. ”
Everyone instantly fell silent.
They could shout and scream at Qiao Xi because Qiao Xi only had her identity as Gu Shan to back her up. However, it was different for Zhou Guanjin. His status in the university was unparalleled. If they provoked Zhou Guanjin, they might not even be able to graduate…
Seeing the fear in their eyes, Zhou Guanjin snorted and turned to look for Qiao Xi.
…
Not far away, Song Shiyu looked at Gu Zheng angrily. “President, why did Zhou Guanjin take such a good opportunity?! Do you think Zhou Guanjin has feelings for Young Madam? They’re from the same university and have known each other for a long time…”
Song Shiyu counted with his fingers. If Zhou Guanjin really wanted to snatch her away, his president had no chance of winning!
Gu Zheng glanced at him coldly. “Cut the crap. Let’s go.”
“Huh? We’re leaving? We’re leaving just like this? Where are we going?”
Gu Zheng looked up indifferently, and Song Shiyu instantly fell silent.
On the other side, Qiao Xi walked along the corridor toward the classroom. People passing by pointed at her and said, “Is this the woman on the forum? The one who’s an old man’s mistress?”
“Wow, yet she still dares to come to the classroom? She’s really shameless.”
Their words did not affect Qiao Xi at all. She placed her hands in her pockets and continued walking forward, but she did not expect to be blocked by someone…
“Qiao Xi, I never expected that you would fall into such a state for money.”
Gu Moling had not looked at the threads on the forum. He immediately ran over to look for Qiao Xi after hearing the discussion of the other students. He just knew that she was an old man’s mistress and he even sent her to university today.
“Qiao Xi, you’re the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Why are you degrading yourself? How much money do you lack that you can even bring yourself to sleep with an old man like that?! If you really lack money, you can ask Uncle Qiao for it. If Uncle Qiao doesn’t give it to you, you can look for me.” Gu Moling’s tone was filled with disappointment.
Qiao Xi’s face gradually showed impatience.
Chapter 56: You’re A Moron
She wanted to walk around Gu Moling and walk forward, but when she walked to the left, Gu Moling moved to stop her. When she moved to the right, Gu Moling blocked her again.
Perhaps she found it too annoying, Qiao Xi stood where she was and said bluntly, “Gu Moling, have I mentioned that you’re really annoying? If you’re crazy, go to the hospital to get yourself treated as soon as possible. Don’t be an eyesore here.”
Gu Moling’s expression changed. “Qiao Xi!”
“Why are you shouting? I can hear you just fine.”
Qiao Xi dug her ear, and her cool face was filled with loftiness. “All of you are speaking so nicely now. If I lack money, you want me to ask for it from you. When I was thrown to the countryside for all those years, who took care of me? None of you showed up when I needed help. Do you think I’m so easy to bully?
“Qiao Rou took a photo and uploaded it onto the forum, attracting the attention of the students in the university who are now pointing fingers at me. You’re trying to act shamelessly in front of me again. Do the two of you like to be so cheap?”
Gu Moling was stunned. “What did you say? The photo was posted by Rou Rou? That’s impossible!”
Qiao Xi looked at him as if she was looking at a fool. “You don’t have hands? Go online and take a look at yourself.”
She was being so stubborn, so she must be telling the truth.
Gu Moling subconsciously defended Qiao Rou. “Rou Rou must have had her reasons for doing so. She only did it for your own good. After all, being a mistress…”
“For my own good? Gu Moling, are you crazy?”
Qiao Xi interrupted him. “She posted a photo to get the entire university to curse me and think that I’m a mistress. If you think this is a good thing, how about you experience it yourself? Moreover… what evidence do you have to say that I’m a mistress? Just based on a photo of me getting out of a car? In the internet world, you’ll be slapped in the face if you rely on photos alone to make your judgment!”
“But you… If you’re not a mistress, how did you survive all these years? How did you make it out of the countryside, learn fashion design, and become an international designer? If no one supported you, you wouldn’t have been able to reach this height.” It was also because of this that Gu Moling had run over to question her when he heard that she was a mistress.
When she heard Gu Moling’s words, the way Qiao Xi looked at him was no different from looking at a retard. “Someone as brainless as you are naturally unable to understand the ability of a genius.”
The light of a genius could not be erased by a mere poor environment.
“A genius? You’re calling yourself a genius?” Gu Moling laughed. He was laughing at Qiao Xi’s arrogance.
Idiot.
Qiao Xi could not be bothered to talk to an ignorant person. Since Gu Moling would not let her through, she would resort to force to get past him.
Gu Moling still wanted to say something but the next second, Qiao Xi kicked his knee. His knee hurt as if it had been hit by a car. He lost control and knelt on the floor on one knee.
Qiao Xi patted his head. “Be good. Good dogs don’t block the way.” As soon as she finished speaking, she left in a carefree manner.
It seemed that she did not have to teach her class today. Zhou Guanjin caught up with her and she followed him back to his private lounge.
“Sister Xi, that kick you gave Gu Moling earlier was really cool.”
Zhou Guanjin shed his arrogant image and obsequiously served Qiao Xi a cup of coffee. “Do you want me to help you solve the matter on the forum?”
“No need, just let them continue to go wild.” Qiao Xi took the coffee and took a sip.
“Alright.”
Zhou Guanjin knew that Qiao Xi had her own ideas, so he did not force her. He took out a cloth bag from the drawer and pushed it in front of Qiao Xi. “Teacher had a gift delivered for you not long ago. He heard about you coming to Li City and specially made it for you.”
He did not tell Qiao Xi that their teacher had scolded him terribly on the phone. Qiao Xi came to Li City, which was Zhou Guanjin’s territory. However, she was bullied in his territory… If it were not for their teacher being busy, Zhou Guanjin thought that he would fly to Li City himself and give him a good beating.
It could not be helped. Qiao Xi’s status in the hearts of their teacher and master was too high. It was just fortunate that nothing had happened to Qiao Xi. If something had really happened… Zhou Guanjin shivered and did not dare to think about it.
Qiao Xi opened the cloth bag and found a bunch of silver needles inside.
Her teacher and master both walked on different paths. Her master was a big shot in the fashion industry, while her teacher was more interested in weapons.
These silver needles were her teacher’s unique weapons. There were only a few of them, and she was usually unwilling to use them. She did not expect that she would receive so many this time…
“Thank Teacher for me.” Qiao Xi put the cloth bag away.
“Wait, Sister Xi, don’t put it away yet. Let me touch the needles!” Zhou Guanjin only knew that his teacher had sent something to Qiao Xi, but he did not dare to open it to see what it was.
“Teacher specializes in secret weapons. Back then, I hugged his thigh and begged him to give me a needle. He didn’t agree and even kicked me away. Now, he has given you a whole bag of needles! A whole bag!”
Was this the difference in treatment when one was pampered and the other was not?
