Chapter 75: Meng Wan Was Causing Trouble
“Wow, a luxury car!”
“Whose car is this? It’s too beautiful!”
“How inexperienced. That’s the Meng family’s car. From the looks of it, it’s probably the eldest daughter of the Meng family.”
“Eldest Miss Meng? Who’s that? Is she a student of our university? Why haven’t I heard of her?”
When Qiao Xi heard the words ‘Eldest Miss Meng’, her lips curled into a smile. This woman had chased her all the way to the university…
At this moment, a well-informed student started spreading gossip. “You haven’t heard of Eldest Miss Meng but have you heard of the Gu family’s eldest young master? Rumor has it that Eldest Miss Meng wants to join the Gu family through marriage. She’s marrying the Gu family’s eldest young master.”
Perhaps some people did not know who the eldest daughter of the Meng family was, but most people had heard of the Gu family’s eldest young master. Especially those who came from families with some money and power. They would definitely know Gu Zheng’s name. Many of them had been warned by their families to be careful when they saw Gu Zheng and not to provoke him.
Now that they heard the gossip about Gu Zheng, some felt that they could not continue listening, but there were also some who curiously went over. The student who spoke earlier continued mysteriously, “I have news that the eldest daughter of the Meng family and the young master of the Gu family were engaged a long time ago. Furthermore, this marriage was personally set by the old master of the Gu family. I’m sure you all know alliances through marriage are common among wealthy families, but the eldest daughter of the Meng family and the eldest young master of the Gu family are different. They absolutely love each other.”
The students nodded. “That’s right. With Eldest Young Master Gu’s identity, there’s no need for him to consolidate his position through marriage anymore. For him to take the initiative to marry Eldest Miss Meng, what else could it be but true love?”
Song Shiyu heard their gossip and retorted in his heart. In President Gu’s heart, the person who was engaged to him was ‘Sixth Miss ‘. Although he did not know who Sixth Miss was, he knew President Gu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day for her.
Unfortunately, Sixth Miss did not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day. It seemed that it was because Sixth Miss was not willing to marry President Gu… Hence, President Gu married his current wife, Qiao Xi.
Gu Zheng swept a glance at Meng Wan who was in the crowd and asked indifferently, “Where’s Qiao Xi?”
“Madam went back to the car first. She should be waiting for you in the car.”
Gu Zheng hummed, then casually said, “Get rid of the people gossiping. Those words are very annoying.”
Song Shiyu was stunned, then nodded immediately. “I understand.”
In the past, President Gu never cared about what others said, but now, he asked him to end the gossip about who was in love with whom. Was it because he was afraid that Madam would feel uncomfortable hearing it?
Meng Wan brought a group of bodyguards with her and walked ostentatiously through Li City University’s campus. Many students were secretly observing her. She was the eldest daughter of an upper class family. Be it her looks, figure, or temperament, she was beyond their reach. Perhaps the bag she was casually holding was even more expensive than the house they were living in now.
Suddenly, a bodyguard walked through the crowd and whispered into Meng Wan’s ear. Meng Wan’s expression changed. “He left? With whom?”
The bodyguard lowered his head. “H-He left with Qiao Xi.”
“Qiao Xi!” Meng Wan’s eyes almost popped out as she clasped her hands together tightly. Did Qiao Xi, this sl*t, know that she was coming today, so she pestered Brother Gu Zheng to leave earlier? Did she think that she could dominate Brother Gu Zheng like this? Dream on!
Meng Wan sneered. She turned to look at the students who were passing by. Public opinion was the best way to deal with someone. Did Qiao Xi think that everything would be fine after she became Mrs. Gu?
A few students who were secretly taking photos of Meng Wan with their phones watched as her eyes turned red. She looked angry at first, then her face was full of grievances. She was indeed different from the rest of the rich and powerful. Even when she cried, she looked extremely pretty. Just looking at her made one’s heart break.
Meng Wan maintained the demeanor of a noble lady and went forward with a graceful posture. “May I ask if you know Qiao Xi?”
The few students were stunned for a moment as if they did not expect Miss Meng to suddenly talk to them. They were flattered and replied, “Yes, of course, we do. Miss Meng, why are you looking for her?”
Meng Wan’s eyes turned even redder. “Then do you know where she is?”
The students did not know why Eldest Miss Meng was looking for Qiao Xi. For a moment, they looked at each other but no one answered. Of course, it was not that they were not answering her on purpose but they really did not know where Qiao Xi was.
Chapter 76: Are You Jealous?
At this moment, the bodyguard suddenly opened his mouth to explain. “Students, don’t misunderstand. Our miss has no ill intention. I just heard that Young Master Gu and Miss Qiao Xi left in the same car. We’ve been unable to get through to Young Master Gu’s phone. Our miss is a little worried, so she came to ask if you know where Miss Qiao Xi is so that she can look for Young Master Gu.”
This…
The few students looked at each other with doubts.
Was Eldest Miss Meng not Young Master Gu’s fiance? Why did her fiance have to contact Young Master Gu through Qiao Xi when she could not contact him?
A few students caught on to the main point. Qiao Xi clearly knew that Miss Meng was here, yet she still got into Young Master Gu’s car and left with him. Was she trying to be a mistress?
Meng Wan saw that their expressions were not right and knew that their goal had been achieved. She sighed lightly. “Forget it, it’s fine. I believe Brother Gu Zheng will definitely come back… As for Qiao Xi… I won’t take it to heart.”
She sounded so aggrieved that she was about to cry. The students could not take it anymore. They had just said that Gu Zheng truly loved Meng Wan and the couple was an exception among other wealthy families, but in the blink of an eye, reality had slapped them hard.
“Why is Qiao Xi like this? She clearly knows that they’re engaged, yet she still seduced the man?”
“I pity Eldest Miss Meng.”
“Someone on the forum previously said that Qiao Xi is a mistress. I didn’t believe it at the time, but it seems that she really is one!”
A proud glint flashed across Meng Wan’s eyes. She said helplessly, “Is that so? Then what should I do… I…”
There were students in the crowd who were filled with righteous indignation. They wanted to post on the forum again to expose Qiao Xi’s true colors. Right at this moment, a male voice sounded indifferently through the crowd. “Miss Meng, it’s better if you make things clear. Don’t be ambiguous and cause others to misunderstand.”
Song Shiyu came over with a graceful smile. “I didn’t want to say anything, but it concerns President Gu and Miss Qiao’s reputation. I have no choice but to stop this. The Meng family and the Gu family are collaborating on a project recently. Although the Meng family values this project very much, there’s no need to use vague words to confuse the truth and let others think that President Gu is interested in you, Miss Meng. The Gu family doesn’t need to use scandals to promote this project.”
Meng Wan’s back stiffened.
Song Shiyu smiled as he swept his gaze over everyone present. Finally, his gaze landed on Meng Wan. “Miss Meng, I’m really sorry. Although the Meng family has the intention to enter the luxury fashion industry, President Gu doesn’t really care about your assets. So, let’s terminate this collaboration. President Gu doesn’t like business partners who engage in shady tricks behind his back.”
Meng Wan shuddered. “Assistant… Assistant Song…”
Song Shiyu smiled. “Also, Miss Meng, you know very well what it means to be an engaged couple. So, Miss Meng, please clarify the rumors. If we hear you starting rumors that President Gu likes you or the Gu family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Meng family, don’t blame President Gu for disregarding the relationship between the two families and targeting you.”
Meng Wan’s face was as pale as snow. She did not expect Song Shiyu to slap her in the face in public. It was for that b*tch, Qiao Xi, right? It must be because of that b*tch, Qiao Xi! Anger and unwillingness surged in Meng Wan’s heart. What right did Qiao Xi have to make Brother Gu Zheng protect her?!
The students were not stupid. Song Shiyu made them understand what was really going on with just a few words.
“Huh? So the Gu family wanting to form a marriage alliance with the Meng family is all fake? Did the Meng family deliberately spread the rumors in order to facilitate the collaboration with the Gu family?”
“Damn, isn’t this too wicked? To think that I even believed that true love exists in wealthy families. I thought that Gu Zheng really liked Miss Meng. Now that I think about it, how could someone like the Gu family’s eldest young master fall for Miss Meng?”
“Aren’t you guys curious about why Miss Meng implicated Qiao Xi? It’s because Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng are really in a relationship… so she’s jealous?”
The moment this speculation was voiced, the students around were in an uproar.
Song Shiyu pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked away. He would pretend that he did not hear it.
Meng Wan had always been arrogant since she was young. The people around her had always flattered her, and she would also stick her nose in the air while listening to their praises. When had she ever encountered such a situation? The people around her were pointing at her with disdain.
She was so angry that her face turned red. She glared at Song Shiyu and got into the car angrily under the escort of her bodyguards. Song Shiyu smiled and watched her leave.
On the other side, Qiao Xi was sitting in the car. She looked at Gu Zheng, who looked cold after getting in the car, and asked, “Why did Meng Wan come to Li City University? Did she come to look for you?”
Gu Zheng glanced sideways. “Mrs. Gu, are you jealous?”
