âI thought that you must have heard wrongly, but the names of the two students who are guaranteed admission are very different from your sonâs name. Itâs impossible for you to have heard wrongly. Moreover, the list hasnât even been released yet. Even I, the chancellor, had to call them to ask.â
âThisâ¦â The corners of Madam Zhouâs 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, âIn that case, even though Zhou Linâan knew that he wasnât guaranteed admission, he still deliberately said that he gave up the opportunity for Qiao Xi. Heâs flattering himself and blaming others for his inability to study overseas! Heâs really shameless!â
Immediately after, the students outside the door could not help but complain, âMoreover, Madam Zhou even believed that her son could be taken in by a world-class university. Heâs not a philanthropist, so why should they take in Zhou Linâan?!â
âTeacher Qiao is so innocent! It clearly has nothing to do with her, yet sheâs being slandered!â
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. âFine! You sure have tricks up your sleeve!â
Chancellor Chen was unhappy. This was clearly Zhou Linâanâs fault. What did it have to do with Qiao Xi? Although she was Zhou Linâanâs mother, she could not be so indiscriminate!
Just as everyone was discussing, Madam Zhou suddenly laughed crazily. âAlright! Letâs 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!
âOur two families were engaged a few years ago. All these years, weâve 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!â
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 Linâan was lying about studying overseas, what about the engagement?
Lu Muxue, who was outside the door, frowned. She did not expect Zhou Linâan 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 Linâan 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, âQiao Xi, do you dare say that this has nothing to do with you?â
The entire venue was silent. If Qiao Xi knew that Zhou Linâan had a fiancee but still instigated him to cancel the engagement, then Qiao Xi had crossed the line.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. âMadam Zhou, did you ask your son what he was doing outside before coming here to quarrel?â
âDonât even think about slandering my son. Heâs so innocent, which was why he was deceived by you. If you donât explain yourself today, our Zhou family will definitely not let the matter rest. Just because youâre beautiful, youâre seducing men everywhere. Donât think that just because my son likes you, you can marry into our Zhou family. Stop dreaming!
âQiao Xi, Iâll give you a chance. As long as you make things clear, leave the university, and stay away from my son in the future, Iâll let you off. Otherwise, donât blame meâ¦â
Before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by a female voice from the door. âMadam Zhou, youâre so impressive!â
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, âMadam Zhou, what do you want to hear? Ask me! Thereâs no need to make things difficult for Qiao Xi.â
Madam Zhou gasped, and a trace of horror appeared in her eyes.
The friend beside Lu Muxue could not help but sneer. âThis woman is Qiao Xiâs friend, right? Sheâs still so arrogant even though she knows that Qiao Xi is a mistress!â
Lu Muxue shook her head helplessly. âPerhaps this miss doesnât know about it yet. She might have been pulled over by Qiao Xi.â
âSince she doesnât know, she should know the ins and outs of the matter! She walked into the chancellorâs office so rudely. I thought she was here to cause trouble!â the girl complained.
