Zhou Guanjin raised his hand without hesitation. “Chancellor Li, you can’t simply say things. When did Gu Shan admit that Qiao Rou is her disciple?”
Chancellor Li said, “But before this…”
“Before was before, now is now.”
When Zhou Guanjin pulled a long face, he looked quite intimidating. “I was the one who introduced Gu Shan to Li City University as a temporary substitute teacher. It was her responsibility as a teacher to guide students. If all the students who have been taught by her claim to be her disciple, would Gu Shan be able to accept them all?”
Only few people knew about Gu Shan being a substitute teacher here. Furthermore, all classes were done online and she had never appeared in front of the students before.
Gu Zheng frowned when he heard Qiao Rou’s name. If he remembered correctly, Qiao Xi’s younger sister was called Qiao Rou.
Chancellor Li was embarrassed by Zhou Guanjin’s words. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t be spouting nonsense.”
Seeing that the fashion design competition was about to start, Chancellor Li stood up and bid farewell to Gu Zheng.
As a judge, Gu Zheng could only show up during the final round of the competition, but as the chancellor, he had to go cheer the students on.
After the chancellor and the rest of the university leaders left the office, Zhou Guanjin collapsed on the chair.
“Brother Gu Zheng, why don’t I secretly bring you to meet Gu Shan? You can discuss the collaboration with her personally.”
“That’s alright, I still have something else to attend to.”
Gu Zheng straightened his suit and stood up. “See you in the competition later.”
“Where are you going?”
“To see my wife.”
“To see your wife…”
Zhou Guanjin could not react in time. When he realized what Gu Zheng just said, he jumped. “F*ck, Brother Gu Zheng, what did you just say?!”
Wife?!
When did he have a wife?!
Song Shiyu explained to him considerately, “The president and Madam just got their marriage certificate not long ago.”
“Bullsh*t, don’t lie to me!”
Zhou Guanjin pointed at him. “I heard that the daughter of the Meng family, who’s supposed to marry Brother Gu Zheng, ran away on the day of their marriage. Even the bride ran away, so who did Brother Gu Zheng marry?”
Song Shiyu adjusted his glasses. “Someone you don’t know.”
Zhou Guanjin: “…”
Song Shiyu ignored Zhou Guanjin, whose expression was full of disbelief. He hurried to catch up with Gu Zheng, who instructed him without turning to look at him, “Get that woman to look for me in the car.”
Song Shiyu hesitated. “But won’t it be inconvenient for Madam?”
After all, Madam was also a student in the fashion design department. She should be participating in the competition, right?
Gu Zheng did not answer. Song Shiyu touched the tip of his nose and kept quiet. He was about to take out his phone to call Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi called before he could.
“Where are you guys? I have time to show you around the university now.”
“Madam, you’re not participating in the competition?” Song Shiyu was surprised.
Qiao Xi paused for a moment. “It’s not time for me to make an appearance yet.”
Although Song Shiyu did not understand what she meant, he did not pursue the matter and reported their current location.
About ten minutes later, Qiao Xi was seen walking leisurely with her hands in her pockets.
Song Shiyu was staring as he asked hesitantly, “Is that… Madam?”
Gu Zheng followed his line of sight and his deep eyes froze.
The woman was wearing formal attire with a belt around her waist, highlighting her slim waist. Her legs were long and strong, while her steps were leisurely. Her eyebrows looked nonchalant. The sun shone warmly on her body, and her skin was so fair that it seemed to be glowing.
As she got closer, he got a clearer view of her face. She had a sharp nose and red lips. Her slightly raised eyebrows carried a strong sense of oppression.
Song Shiyu shuddered and quickly got down to open the car door. “Madam…”
His attitude was extremely respectful.
Qiao Xi looked at him and hesitated for a moment before retracting her foot that was about to enter the car. She tilted her head slightly and asked Song Shiyu in a low voice, “Is Gu Zheng… in a good mood?”
Song Shiyu nodded hesitantly. “I think so.”
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes. This answer was no different from not answering at all. However, since she was already here, she could just coax him if he were angry.
She immediately bent down and entered the car.
Gu Zheng noticed her momentary hesitation. Seeing Qiao Xi sitting beside him, he could not help but snort.
Qiao Xi’s eyelids twitched as she looked at him. The car door had not closed yet, so she could still run! However, before she could execute her plan, she heard a bang as Song Shiyu closed the car door from outside.
Qiao Xi: “…”
Gu Zheng snorted. “What are you afraid of? Would I eat you?”
Qiao Xi was very sensible and did not say anything.
Click.
Gu Zheng put down the small table in the back seat and took out a beautifully packaged lunch box under Qiao Xi’s puzzled gaze. When the lunch box was opened, the fragrance of the food filled the car.
Qiao Xi took a whiff of it. “You’re not going to tour the university anymore?”
Gu Zheng did not raise his head. “Don’t you know what time it is? You want me to tour the university hungry?”
Qiao Xi tapped open her phone screen and fell silent when she saw the time displayed on it.
