Chapter 57: She Was On The Gu Family’s Household Register
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xi did not care about Zhou Guanjin’s complaints and put away the silver needles with an expressionless face. “Don’t you know why the teacher didn’t give you the silver needles?”
They have been under the wings of their teacher since they were young. As children, they were lively and active, especially Zhou Guanjin. Not only was he very mischievous but he was also very silly. There was one time when he secretly took a silver needle from the teacher. Without saying anything, he inserted it into his body. After doing so, he was in pain and began crying.
Qiao Xi wondered if Zhou Guanjin had some sequelae back then, causing his brain to not be too bright when he grew up.
Seeing that Qiao Xi had exposed his secret, Zhou Guanjin curled his lips. ‘If you don’t want to let me touch them, then just say so. Hmph.’
He took a piece of apple from the fruit platter and reminded Qiao Xi as he ate. “Although I don’t know why you didn’t attack the Qiao family, I have to remind you that when the teacher is done with his work on hand, he’ll definitely come to Li City. When he sees that you haven’t attacked the Qiao family yet, he’ll probably do it for you.”
Qiao Xi was very loved. No matter if it were their master or their teacher, they protected her like she was their own. Their teacher had only heard that Qiao Xi was not having an easy time in Li City, but he sent her so many silver needles… If he found out that the Qiao family had used such underhanded means against Qiao Xi, he would probably fly over in a minute to destroy the Qiao family.
“Actually, I don’t quite understand why you’ve been indulging those people from the Qiao family, Sister Xi?”
“Haven’t you heard of a saying? If you want to destroy someone, you must make them go crazy.”
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. “Not to mention that we’re in a society ruled by law now. Killing people at the slightest thing is reflective of a hot-tempered nature and isn’t like me.”
Zhou Guanjin: “…”
‘I don’t believe you!’
Qiao Xi could tell that Zhou Guanjin was worried about her, but regarding those people from the Qiao family…
“Keeping them will be of some use to me.”
A sharp glint flashed through Qiao Xi’s elegant eyes as she said in a low voice, “My mother was killed by Qiao Zhenguo and Xu Mei all those years ago. I don’t want them to get away with this. I want everyone to know their crimes.” However, it had been too long ago, and a lot of the evidence was already destroyed. It would take time to continue the investigation.
“Also…” A slightly aged figure appeared in her mind. “My second uncle is soft-hearted. He’ll probably be very sad to see me attack the Qiao family.”
Zhou Guanjin had met Qiao Xi’s second uncle a few times. That man was indeed good to Qiao Xi, but he was too indecisive.
“Right, I want to check the student records of Li City University from 20 years ago,” Qiao Xi suddenly said, “You have access to the student records, right?”
Zhou Guanjin was just about to nod when he suddenly recalled the scene of Qiao Xi leaving with Gu Zheng previously. He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you know Gu Zheng? Go look for him.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Seeing that Qiao Xi was speechless, Zhou Guanjin snorted. “Tell me, what’s going on between you and Gu Zheng? Why did Song Shiyu say that you’ve registered your marriage with Gu Zheng? When did the two of you get together?”
Qiao Xi said, “… I still have something else to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
If Zhou Guanjin knew that her marriage with Gu Zheng was a result of an impulsive decision and they were merely in a transactional relationship, he would probably tell their master and teacher about it. By then, her life would be turned upside down.
At the same time, in the chancellor’s office.
Gu Zheng casually played with the teacup in his hand and smiled meaningfully. “What’s wrong? Is it so difficult to get you to help deal with someone, Chancellor Chen?”
“About this…”
Chancellor Chen broke out in a cold sweat. “President Gu… Please calm down… It’s not that I don’t want to help you handle this matter, but if I punish the students without a good reason, it’ll be hard for me to explain it to the public.”
Song Shiyu pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and handed him a document. It was the information gathered after investigating the incident on the forum. Chancellor Chen flipped through it in a hurry while secretly glancing at Gu Zheng. He did not know why Gu Zheng wanted to be involved in this small matter.
“President Gu… Qiao Rou is indeed in the wrong here, but there’s no way to prove that the thread she posted was fake news and she was spreading rumors… If she’s telling the truth, we can’t punish her. Also, the students are all boycotting Qiao Xi and are against her becoming a teacher in the design department. If the university rashly takes action, I’m afraid it’ll attract backlash.”
Song Shiyu had been by Gu Zheng’s side for a long time. He had long become skilled at observing people’s expressions. Seeing President Chen’s hesitation, he smiled. “President Chen, I forgot to tell you something. Miss Qiao Xi has just registered her marriage with President Gu. Her name is on the Gu family’s household register. The person who drove Madam to work this morning was the Gu family’s chauffeur.”
After a pause, he smiled. “If you don’t believe me, I’ll call the driver and ask him to come over. You can identify him.”
Chancellor Chen did not expect that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng would actually have such a relationship. His legs went soft and he directly fell to the floor. He said in a flustered tone, “I… I’ll handle it. I’ll handle it right away!”
He had never expected that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng would be in such a relationship!
