After Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu disappeared out of the door, Chancellor Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and took out his phone to give the Academic Affairs Bureau an order.
“Qiao Rou fabricated stories about a teacher and caused trouble on the forum. She’ll be punished as a warning to everyone. If she violates the rules again, she’ll be expelled! I hope the students will take this incident as a warning. The forum is a place for students to communicate and discuss. It’s not a place for malicious people to sway public opinion and attack others!”
The person from the Academic Affairs Bureau did not react in time. “Chancellor, you want to punish Qiao Rou? But Qiao Rou’s relationship with Gu Moling…”
“Cut the crap. Just do as I say.”
Who was Gu Moling? Gu Zheng was the head of the Gu family!
Qiao Rou was someone who had not married into the Gu family yet, so how could she compare to Qiao Xi, who had already gotten a marriage certificate with Gu Zheng?
Gu Zheng left the administrative building but did not expect to see Zhou Guanjin rushing over from the entrance.
“Brother, didn’t Sister Xi come looking for you?” Zhou Guanjin glanced behind Gu Zheng but did not find any traces of Qiao Xi.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Zheng’s eyes were indifferent.
“I’m fine, but Qiao Xi has something to attend to.” Zhou Guanjin rolled his eyes. “Qiao Xi asked me for a favor just now. She wants to look up Li City University’s student records from 20 years ago… You’re a director of Li City University and you’re also Sister Xi’s legal husband. Why didn’t she ask you for help when she had something to ask?”
“She asked you to check Li City University’s student records?” Gu Zheng licked his lips. “Zhou Guanjin, are you very close to Qiao Xi? So close that you even surpass me, her legal husband, when asking for help? Is that so?”
Zhou Guanjin: “???”
This was not right!
Gu Zheng slowly approached him. “Tell me, is your and Qiao Xi’s relationship very good?”
Zhou Guanjin gulped and stammered, “Gu… Gu Zheng, don’t be unreasonable. Qiao Xi is my junior. She’s the junior I always mention to you! In terms of time spent together, I’ve known my junior for a much longer time than you. It’s normal for her to look for me first if she has something she needs help with. Moreover… you should reflect on yourself. Perhaps it’s because your marriage is rocky that my junior came to look for me instead of you!”
As he spoke, Zhou Guanjin became self-righteous again. He had decided to fish out the truth about Gu Zheng’s relationship with Qiao Xi. How did his junior suddenly get married to Gu Zheng?! Gu Zheng, this cold man, must have used some means to deceive his junior.
Zhou Guanjin’s words stung.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes, and his handsome face was dark. Zhou Guanjin’s heart trembled. Damn, could he be right? Was Gu Zheng really not treating his junior well? What should he do? Should he tell his master and teacher? He could not defeat Gu Zheng alone.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng only lost control of his emotions for a second. When he opened his eyes again, they were cold. “You said you’ve known Qiao Xi for a long time? I’m afraid not.”
After saying these words meaningfully, Gu Zheng dusted off his sleeves.
Zhou Guanjin: “… What does this person mean?”
On the university’s public announcement board, the warning for Qiao Rou was quickly posted. Students who were passing by in between their classes saw it and went into an uproar.
“Damn, why? Why is the university taking action on Qiao Rou?”
“I know that Qiao Rou was the one who posted that thread. Although it’s inappropriate for a younger sister to secretly post bad news about her sister, she shouldn’t be warned and punished, right?”
“It must be a scheme! There must be something going on!”
“Nonsense, what dirty tricks are you talking about? The university has already issued a warning and will carry out the punishment. Don’t all of you understand what’s going on? This means that Qiao Xi is nobody’s mistress. Qiao Rou is simply jealous of Qiao Xi and secretly took an ambiguous photo to post on the forum to get students to attack Qiao Xi!”
Qiao Xi did not know about the university’s public announcement. She frowned as she looked at the message from Zhou Guanjin and could not figure it out.
[Sister Xi, what’s going on between you and Gu Zheng?! Why do I feel like he has known you for longer than I have?]
Qiao Xi replied: [… It must be your illusion.]
She was certain that the first time she and Gu Zheng met was at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
In conclusion, Zhou Guanjin had been fooled by Gu Zheng.
When Zhou Guanjin received the reply from Qiao Xi, he was so angry that he grabbed his hair. [Neither of you are good people! You want to see Li City University’s student records, right? Go look for Gu Zheng!]
He would not help her!
Qiao Xi: “…”
This person was infuriated again.
However, asking Gu Zheng for help… Qiao Xi looked up to the sky and sighed. That man was even more difficult to handle than Zhou Guanjin!
Right at this moment, a voice interrupted Qiao Xi’s thoughts.
“Is that person Wang Qing? Let’s go find her to settle the score!”
The person who spoke was a student from Class 3 of the fashion design department. He was also one of the students who supported Qiao Xi in front of the administration building.
The class monitor of Class 3 went forward to stop her. “Wang Qing, shouldn’t you apologize to Teacher Qiao?”
Wang Qing raised her head and looked arrogant. “Apologize? Why should I? Is Qiao Xi worthy of my apology?”
