âI⦠I didnâtâ¦â Qiao Rouâs body trembled, and she could not say anything for a long time.
Wang Qing reacted at this moment and went forward to support Qiao Rou, shouting, âSo what if it was Qiao Rou who posted it? Weâre just posting the truth on the forum! Qiao Xi is the one whoâs a mistress!â
Qiao Rou had not run the university all these years in vain. As the goddess of Li City University, she had countless admirers. When a male student saw Qiao Rou crying from sorrow, the scale in his heart began to tilt. âThatâs right. Although Qiao Rouâs actions this time were a little inappropriate, there wouldnât be smoke without a fire. If Qiao Xi wasnât someone elseâs mistress, she wouldnât have been photographed. Naturally, this storm wouldnât have happened either. At the end of the day, itâs all because Qiao Xi is too insensible!â
The students supporting Qiao Xi were infuriated.
They were using flawed arguments to defend Qiao Rou!
The dean was anxious when he saw that the two parties were about to fight. What should he do now that the matter had developed to this stage?!
âEveryone, calm down. There must be a misunderstanding here. You guys should go to class first. After the university is done with the investigation, weâll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.â
He wanted to persuade the students to go back first, but they were too agitated and no one was listening to him.
The students on Qiao Rouâs side sneered. âExplanation? I reckon that when the time comes, the university will simplify the matter, right?â With Qiao Xiâs identity as Gu Shan, the university wonât easily give up on her. It was also because they realized this that they came here to protest. They wanted to go look for the chancellor themselves to demand an explanation.
âDo you think so lowly of the university?â
Zhou Guanjin walked over unhurriedly. âThe matter has not been confirmed yet, and the university hasnât investigated whether Qiao Xi is a mistress. You guys claim with certainty that sheâs a mistress just based on a photo. Is this the intellect of university students?â
With that said, he slowly patted the shoulder of the boy who had just spoken. âCalm down. Donât end up being punished by the university for causing trouble while Qiao Xi ends up fine.â
âWhy should we be punished? That photo didnât come out of nowhere. It takes two hands to clap. If Qiao Xi hadnât done those things, rumors wouldnât have spread.â
Smack!
Zhou Guanjin raised his hand from the boyâs shoulder and raised it to slap the boy across his face. âLook, isnât this considered a slap?â
The boyâs body trembled. He wanted to fly into a rage but did not dare to because of Zhou Guanjinâs identity.
The surroundings fell into a strange silence.
Zhou Guanjin acted as if he did not notice their abnormality. He slowly took out a tissue to wipe his hands. âBefore you investigate this matter clearly, donât let me hear any more nonsense. Otherwiseâ¦â He curled his lips lightly.â Youâll face the repercussions. â
Everyone instantly fell silent.
They could shout and scream at Qiao Xi because Qiao Xi only had her identity as Gu Shan to back her up. However, it was different for Zhou Guanjin. His status in the university was unparalleled. If they provoked Zhou Guanjin, they might not even be able to graduateâ¦
Seeing the fear in their eyes, Zhou Guanjin snorted and turned to look for Qiao Xi.
â¦
Not far away, Song Shiyu looked at Gu Zheng angrily. âPresident, why did Zhou Guanjin take such a good opportunity?! Do you think Zhou Guanjin has feelings for Young Madam? Theyâre from the same university and have known each other for a long timeâ¦â
Song Shiyu counted with his fingers. If Zhou Guanjin really wanted to snatch her away, his president had no chance of winning!
Gu Zheng glanced at him coldly. âCut the crap. Letâs go.â
âHuh? Weâre leaving? Weâre leaving just like this? Where are we going?â
Gu Zheng looked up indifferently, and Song Shiyu instantly fell silent.
On the other side, Qiao Xi walked along the corridor toward the classroom. People passing by pointed at her and said, âIs this the woman on the forum? The one whoâs an old manâs mistress?â
âWow, yet she still dares to come to the classroom? Sheâs really shameless.â
Their words did not affect Qiao Xi at all. She placed her hands in her pockets and continued walking forward, but she did not expect to be blocked by someoneâ¦
âQiao Xi, I never expected that you would fall into such a state for money.â
Gu Moling had not looked at the threads on the forum. He immediately ran over to look for Qiao Xi after hearing the discussion of the other students. He just knew that she was an old manâs mistress and he even sent her to university today.
âQiao Xi, youâre the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Why are you degrading yourself? How much money do you lack that you can even bring yourself to sleep with an old man like that?! If you really lack money, you can ask Uncle Qiao for it. If Uncle Qiao doesnât give it to you, you can look for me.â Gu Molingâs tone was filled with disappointment.
Qiao Xiâs face gradually showed impatience.
