Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As for the punishment, it still depended on Yan Xiaoju. After all, Mr. Yan was her biological father. She didn’t know if Yan Xiaoju would be tough enough to punish her family.

“Wait until Xiaoju’s condition stabilizes, then we’ll ask for her opinion.”

Han Zhengxiu could only nod. It was useless for them to be anxious and angry. In the end, it still depended on Yan Xiaoju’s decision.

It was indeed too cruel for Yan Xiaoju to personally send her father to prison.

Because Yan Xiaoju was in the hospital to recuperate, Gu Qingchen thought for a moment and called her mother to help take care of her. Mrs. Gu was a gentle person. After hearing about Yan Xiaoju’s experience and knowing that Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju were good friends, she immediately agreed to take care of Yan Xiaoju personally.

With her mother help at the hospital, Gu Qingchen felt more at ease. It was also a good opportunity to let them spend more time together.

In fact, Gu Qingchen had already told her parents about her thoughts. Her parents also agreed. They were both very kind people. They felt that it was not easy for Yan Xiaoju, so they agreed to take Yan Xiaoju as their goddaughter.

Mrs. Gu could be said to have taken care of Yan Xiaoju meticulously. Although Yan Xiaoju did not say it out loud, she was extremely grateful in her heart. It had been a long time since she had experienced the love of a mother. She did not expect that she would feel it again now.

Because Yan Xiaoju was hospitalized, she could not go to school during this period of time. The school had also agreed. Moreover, there were teachers who came over to express their condolences and prepared a lot of medicines for her. Even the hospitalization fees were provided by the school.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for so many students to want to go to Hongfeng. They did not want to take advantage of Hongfeng, but they valued Hongfeng’s attitude at such a time. It was very touching.

This was also why so many students from Hongfeng who went out had their faces filled with pride and pride when they mentioned their alma mater. At the same time, as long as their alma mater needed help, they would definitely lend a hand.

This was a legit school that could truly teach and educate people.

Of course, these few days, the school finally released the new year’s gala. The seniors were very happy to enjoy the shocked expressions of the new students.

......

Because this year’s new year’s gala had a new change.

In previous years, the new students only needed to join hands to perform a performance. What was tested was the ability of everyone to work together as a team.

This year, the student affairs office stated that it would be an anniversary celebration of the yearly gala, and said that this year’s new year’s gala would have the most luxurious and powerful guests in history to attend. Hence, they requested the freshmen to produce three performances.

However, they could not perform alone. They could choose their own performances. The only requirement was that they must be high-class and not vulgar, because they did not match the style of Hongfeng.

When this matter was announced, the freshmen were all in an uproar. Some were happy, while others were sad.

Those who were happy thought that they could show off their skills at the new year’s gala. There were those who worried that they did not have any talent that they could show off.

Basically, other than those in the Department of Art, it was not an easy thing to conduct a performance.

Moreover, there were only about twenty new students this year, so there would be more people from the Department of Art. The other new students were all in different departments, so it was not an easy task to gather together to think about the performance.

After all, everyone had their own strengths, and they all wanted to show off their talents.

Because of the special circumstances, Yan Xiaoju could not participate in the performance. Everyone else had to participate.

Therefore, after the end of the day, all the freshmen gathered together to discuss the performance.

The venue was the student activity center. As soon as Gu Qingchen entered, she saw that An Ge was surrounded by everyone. He felt very superior.

Han Zhengxiu saw Gu Qingchen and walked directly toward Gu Qingchen.

“They are preparing to rehearse a drama. If that’s the case, there will be more people who can participate. The drama was prepared by An Ge. As for who can participate, it will be up to him.”

An Ge had already become a leading figure among the Department of Art freshmen. They basically just listened to An Ge’s arrangements.

There were some freshmen from other departments who also wanted to participate. It would be good if they could get any role to participate.

Therefore, many people surrounded An Ge. They were like stars supporting the Moon. Han Zhengxiu did not like them no matter how he looked at them.

Actually, he just looked down on An Ge, that pretty boy.

“This time, we’re asking for three performances. An Ge’s drama can indeed involve many people, but there’s only one performance. It’s impossible to include everyone. In other words, those who are left behind need to think about the other two performances.”

The students were really ruthless. In the past, they tested everyone’s spirit of teamwork. This time, they were asking for three performances. It wasn’t just a test of teamwork.

More importantly, it was a test of the ugly side of human nature — selfishness.

That’s right, selfishness. An Ge’s drama could indeed solve the problem of most people who were not being able to produce a performance by themselves. However, everyone knew that there were still two other performances to prepare. Therefore, the remaining people were the ones who were the most unlucky.

No one was willing to be the one who was the most unlucky. They could only compete for the role in An Ge’s drama.

Gu Qingchen was obviously too popular during the orientation. Most of the freshmen tried their best to stay away from Gu Qingchen. The idea of the students, or rather, Jiang Yi’s idea, seemed to be really aimed at her.

Hehe, as expected, underhand tactics and schemes were the most insidious.

“It doesn’t matter. There are three performances anyway, we don’t need to ask him.”

Gu Qingchen was quite open-minded. Jiang Yi must have thought that Gu Qingchen’s talent in school was medical skills and thought that she wouldn’t have any other talents, so he changed his request.

He wanted to use this little trick to deal with her?

Hehe, he was underestimating her too much.

Han Zhengxiu nodded, “There are a few newcomers in our Department of Law, so we thought, why don’t we make a small-scale debate skit? You and Luo Yu can join us.”

Han Zhengxiu directly suggested. Gu Qingchen thought for a moment and said, “We’ll see. Have you asked Luo Yu?”

“I have. He said he’s willing to join us. That kid’s eloquence is not bad, so there should be no problem.”

Gu Qingchen nodded. Luo Yu was not like an ordinary child to begin with. Gu Qingchen did not doubt his ability at all.

“Alright, it’s decided then. The roles in our drama are limited. Those whose names I call, stay behind and wait for me to assign the roles and scripts. We will begin rehearsals today.”

An Ge spoke with an imposing manner. Many of the freshmen almost lost their souls when they saw An Ge’s imposing manner.

An Ge was handsome, gentle, and very capable of leading. These ordinary freshmen were also suppressed by the seniors. Thus, An Ge naturally became the prince charming and savior in the hearts of these girls.

An Ge enjoyed this moment very much. He didn’t know whether it was intentional or not, but he glanced at Gu Qingchen. That glance seemed to contain a lot of things, but he was definitely feeling smug.

Gu Qingchen only curved her lips slightly, but her eyes were still full of contempt.

An Ge’s eyes turned cold for a moment, then he stopped looking at Gu Qingchen and gathered all the people he called.
