Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Originally, Zhao Yuan could still comfort herself in her heart that it was impossible for Gu Xiao to be the Chu family’s second young master’s girlfriend. Now that she heard Jiang Meng’s words, her heart instantly plummeted.

She had heard that the second young master of the Chu family seemed to be a new student in their school this year.

However, because she had a conflict with Gu Xiao when school started, she was in a bad mood and did not pay much attention to the Chu family’s Second Young Master.

Although she was arrogant, she also knew that someone like the Second Young Master of the Chu family was not someone she could get close to. Naturally, she would not spend more effort on the impossible.

Hence, during this period of time, she had been racking her brains to get her pride back from Gu Xiao. She had never paid attention to the school forum or the school website.

At this moment, she finally looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, whom she had always looked down on. “W-What do you mean by that?”

Seeing Gu Xiao’s calm expression, coupled with Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s helpless and surprised expressions, Zhao Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

No, it couldn’t be that the country bumpkin Gu Xiao she was talking about was really Second Young Master Chu’s real girlfriend, right?

Jiang Meng glanced at Gu Xiao, who had continued reading after sending the messages. Seeing that the other party did not seem to care, she turned around and advised Zhao Yuan.

“You can go on the campus website and take a look. There are quite a lot of news about Xiaoxiao.”

Seeing that Jiang Meng did not seem to be lying, Zhao Yuan hurriedly took out her phone and opened A University’s campus network.

However, that Gu Xiao and Chu An had already been in school for a few days. Other than the initial two days when the matter between Gu Xiao and Chu An caused an uproar, news about the two of them gradually settled down.

After all, most people in A University were still focused on their studies and practicals. After being lively for a while, not many people paid any further attention to Gu Xiao and Chu An.

Zhao Yuan searched for a while on the school’s website before she saw a post with photos of Gu Xiao and Chu An.

She knew that her doubts should be answered by this post, so she quickly clicked on it.

However, before the article and photos had finished loading, her phone received a call. Seeing that it was from her father, Zhao Yuan could no longer bother about Gu Xiao and immediately picked up the call.

“Hey, Dad, you…”

“What are you doing?! Didn’t i ask you to apologize to Second Young Master Chu and beg for forgiveness?! Why has the Chu Corporation directly said that they won’t consider our Creation Technology in the future?! Look at what you’ve done! How did 1 give birth to such a bringer of bad luck like you?! You…”

Before Zhao Yuan could ask, she was rudely interrupted by her father.

Hearing her father’s insults, Zhao Yuan only felt her mind buzzing, and she could not hear Mr Zhao’s subsequent insults clearly.

Right now, her mind was filled with images of her showing off to Gu Xiao previously and Gu Xiao taking out her phone to contact someone.

Just now… Was the person Gu Xiao contacted Second Young Master Chu? Could the man who came to their dormitory previously be Second Young Master Chu?

“I’m warning you! Zhao Yuan, if you don’t settle this matter for me, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Mr Zhao’s angry roar came from Zhao Yuan’s phone. As soon as he finished speaking, Mr Zhao hung up.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu originally looked at Zhao Yuan as if they were watching a joke, but after hearing Mr Zhao’s insults, they could not help but frown.

Although this matter was indeed Zhao Yuan’s fault, Mr Zhao’s words were too unpleasant.

He even said things like “distress commodity” and “slut”[i.This is an insulting, sexist comment about a daughter, as in the past in China, parents would have to offer a dowry for when a daughter marries, as opposed to their son marrying, as his wife would be bringing in a dowry from her family to his.]…

However, they were only bystanders. Although they felt that Mr Zhao’s words had goone a little overboard, they did not think of putting in a good word for Zhao Yuan to Gu Xiao.

The two of them glanced at Zhao Yuan and looked at Gu Xiao, who seemed completely immersed in her book. They looked at each other and sighed before returning to their seats.

Zhao Yuan took the phone away from her ear in a daze. After a few seconds, she finally reacted.

She looked at Gu Xiao in disbelief. “Y-You’re really Second Young Master Chu’s girlfriend?”

Gu Xiao ignored Zhao Yuan and did not want to waste time on her.

However, it was obvious that Gu Xiao’s silence agitated Zhao Yuan instead. She ignored everything and shouted at Gu Xiao, “Since you’re Second Young Master Chu’s girlfriend, why didn’t you say so earlier?! Is it very fun to hide it from me and play with me?!”

Zhao Yuan did not reflect on her own actions at all. Instead, there was a hint of accusation in her words..
