“I thought that you must have heard wrongly, but the names of the two students who are guaranteed admission are very different from your son’s name. It’s impossible for you to have heard wrongly. Moreover, the list hasn’t even been released yet. Even I, the chancellor, had to call them to ask.”
“This…” The corners of Madam Zhou’s mouth twitched slightly. Half of her arrogance from before was gone.
At this moment, the class monitor of Class 3 shouted from outside the door, “In that case, even though Zhou Lin’an knew that he wasn’t guaranteed admission, he still deliberately said that he gave up the opportunity for Qiao Xi. He’s flattering himself and blaming others for his inability to study overseas! He’s really shameless!”
Immediately after, the students outside the door could not help but complain, “Moreover, Madam Zhou even believed that her son could be taken in by a world-class university. He’s not a philanthropist, so why should they take in Zhou Lin’an?!”
“Teacher Qiao is so innocent! It clearly has nothing to do with her, yet she’s being slandered!”
At this moment, Madam Zhou felt her face burn. When had she ever been humiliated in public? She could only glare fiercely at Qiao Xi. “Fine! You sure have tricks up your sleeve!”
Chancellor Chen was unhappy. This was clearly Zhou Lin’an’s fault. What did it have to do with Qiao Xi? Although she was Zhou Lin’an’s mother, she could not be so indiscriminate!
Just as everyone was discussing, Madam Zhou suddenly laughed crazily. “Alright! Let’s not talk about the matter of the opportunity to study abroad first. Explain to me clearly about the matter of the eldest daughter of Hongfeng Corporation breaking off the engagement!
“Our two families were engaged a few years ago. All these years, we’ve been doing business with each other. Miss Chi and my son have always been very loving. The two of them were about to get married. After he met you, my son decided not to get married anymore. It must be because you said something to him!”
Madam Zhou roared angrily. Her voice was so loud that it almost overturned the roof. Her roar echoed throughout the entire office.
Everyone could not help but fall silent. If Zhou Lin’an was lying about studying overseas, what about the engagement?
Lu Muxue, who was outside the door, frowned. She did not expect Zhou Lin’an to be so useless. He was not on the list! In that case, this matter would not affect Qiao Xi at all.
Fortunately, the engagement was a fact. Moreover, Zhou Lin’an had just confessed to Qiao Xi in university yesterday, then the couple broke off the engagement. When these two things were put together, anyone would think that it was because of Qiao Xi.
Seeing that Qiao Xi was silent, Madam Zhou instantly became confident and questioned loudly, “Qiao Xi, do you dare say that this has nothing to do with you?”
The entire venue was silent. If Qiao Xi knew that Zhou Lin’an had a fiancee but still instigated him to cancel the engagement, then Qiao Xi had crossed the line.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Madam Zhou, did you ask your son what he was doing outside before coming here to quarrel?”
“Don’t even think about slandering my son. He’s so innocent, which was why he was deceived by you. If you don’t explain yourself today, our Zhou family will definitely not let the matter rest. Just because you’re beautiful, you’re seducing men everywhere. Don’t think that just because my son likes you, you can marry into our Zhou family. Stop dreaming!
“Qiao Xi, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you make things clear, leave the university, and stay away from my son in the future, I’ll let you off. Otherwise, don’t blame me…”
Before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by a female voice from the door. “Madam Zhou, you’re so impressive!”
The female voice was arrogant and dignified. Although she was only in her 20s, she had a noble aura that made her stand out in the crowd.
Everyone subconsciously made way. The woman was wearing a long coffee-colored windbreaker. Her seaweed-like hair was casually draped over her shoulders. As she walked, the corners of her clothes fluttered, making her look valiant. Her face was exquisite, and the makeup on her face was very light. She only had a little lipstick on her lips. She did not need much embellishment. This was enough.
Her sharp gaze landed on Madam Zhou as she said coldly, “Madam Zhou, what do you want to hear? Ask me! There’s no need to make things difficult for Qiao Xi.”
Madam Zhou gasped, and a trace of horror appeared in her eyes.
The friend beside Lu Muxue could not help but sneer. “This woman is Qiao Xi’s friend, right? She’s still so arrogant even though she knows that Qiao Xi is a mistress!”
Lu Muxue shook her head helplessly. “Perhaps this miss doesn’t know about it yet. She might have been pulled over by Qiao Xi.”
“Since she doesn’t know, she should know the ins and outs of the matter! She walked into the chancellor’s office so rudely. I thought she was here to cause trouble!” the girl complained.
