Gu Zhang's jaw tightened upon hearing Xu Nuan's words. Even after paying her a hefty compensation, she keeps bringing up that topic in front of others. How shameless!!
He glowered at her and said through his gritted teeth, " Stop talking nonsense. It has nothing to do with that incident. Moreover, that was just an accident."
Grandfather Gu watched Gu Zhang as he tried to shut Xu Nuan. If Han Zihao had not told him the truth about Xingren's actions, he wouldn't have found out about that incident.
After all, his family can do anything to protect Xingren. They have been brainwashed and cannot see anything other than Xingren.
Xu Nuan was amused at his reaction, but not surprised. It was not the first time after all. " Well, you can say anything to justify it. But we both know the truth, so you don't need to justify it to me."
He frowned and coldly said to her, " Don't try to change the topic. No matter what you say, your crime will not change. Do you know the consequences of this rumor? You will be rusticated from the college and will have to pay a hefty fine if all of this comes out as true."
" Not only that, because of you, the Gu family's name in the society will be ruined too. Along with you, the whole family will have to pay for your actions."
Gu Zhang was trying to make her understand the seriousness of the situation, but Xu Nuan simply leaned back and smirked, " Mr. Gu, thanks for your kind warning. But rather than worrying about me, I think you need to worry about your princess."
He frowned upon hearing her words. " What does it have to do with Xingren? Xu Nuan, don't be stupid. Since you, both studies in the same college, try to get along with each other and not act like a brat."
" Hah! This girl can never do that, not even in a million years." Grandmother Gu taunted but didn't manage to get a reaction from Xu Nuang.
Instead, she heard her say, " I was planning to do the same. However, it seems like your daughter has some other plans."
" What do you mean? What does this incident have anything to do with Xingren?" Gu Zhang frowned.
Xu Nuan glanced at Xingren, who was also looking at her in confusion and distress.
" Sister, what are you talking about? How am I related to this incident? I didn't even go to college on the day the post was made. I was at home all the time."
Gu Zhang looked at Xingren and nodded. " She is right. She was at home all the time, how can she be involved in it?"
Rather than answering his question, Xu Nuan glanced at Xingren and smirked, " Is it? Then……I hope you will be right."
As said this, she stood up and turned to Grandfather Gu before picking up her bag, " Grandpa, you don't need to worry about all this. Your granddaughter is capable enough to sort out petty stuff like this."
" You take care of your health and don't eat oily stuff. It's not good for your health." She nagged at him.
The old man was happy to see her worrying about him. But he was worried about her at the same time. How can she solve this big problem alone?
Xingren's palms turned sweaty seeing Xu Nuan leaving. Something was not right. She left just like that? Without saying anything to Grandfather Gu?
Seeing Xu Nuan relaxed, she grew even more worried. Did she find anything against her? No! That can't be possible.
She didn't do anything that could go against her.
Xu Nuan, now you're done for. ——
In the afternoon,
Dean Office of Xin Liu University.
Mr. Wen ( Dean of Xin Liu) was in his office and was going through Xu Nuan's answer sheet that she had submitted for the scholarship exam. Even though it's been weeks since the exam, he still can't believe that he has found a genius.
At first, he thought that it's not possible for someone to mark all the answers right. Even the previous toppers of the university have always made some kind of a mistake.
But how can this girl get all the answers right? She got a few marks cut because she marked them outside the circle, not marking them correctly. Otherwise, the answers were right.
As he was busy admiring her intelligence, his office's door was barged open by his assistant, " Sir, there is a problem."
Mr. Wen frowned and looked at her with a frown. The girl was panting and looked distressed, " What happened? Why do you look like this?"
" Sir, You have to see this." As said this, she went to his side and opened the system on his desk.
He stared at her in confusion seeing her acting urgently.
" Two days ago, an anonymous post was made on the college forum. The post is going viral among the students and I think you need to see it," she explained while logging into the college forum.
He closed Xu Nuan's file in which her answer sheet was and put it on the desk, " Since when does a College Dean need to monitor the college's forum? What's so important that you're asking me to check it?"
The girl didn't say anything and after opening the post, she adjusted the computer screen to his side, " You will know when you see this."
Mr. Wen adjusted his spectacles and looked at the screen. He frowned upon seeing the title of the post.
[Xin Liu's Scholarship Exam Topper, is a Cheater?]-
His expressions darkened upon reading the contents of the post. He threw his glasses on the desk and slammed the desk hard, " What rubbish? What are these students doing? How can they make such posts on the college forum?"
His face turned red from anger. The college forum is where the students interact with each other and the college admins also put posts regarding the upcoming events or any important notice to inform the students. But they're taking things too far.
" Is this a college forum or a gossip page?"
Xin Liu's forum page is student-friendly and was made for their social interactiveness. However, this kind of thing has never happened before on the college forum.
A post was made without confirming the facts and a student's photos and her personal life was being discussed openly on the internet. How shameful!!
More than that, the student is none other than, but Xu Nuan. This is intolerable.
His assistant was surprised to see his outburst. It was her first time seeing him this angry. She thought that he would be angry about the contents of the post and would be worried about the rumor that was going around.
What if the girl, who got the scholarship, actually cheated in the exam? Xin Liu's reputation will be doomed and other student's parents will also come to seek answers about this scandal. How will they answer them at that time?
But rather than being worried about the rumor, he seems to be angry about the post.
" Chu Hua, pull down this post from the forum immediately. Also, put a warning post stating that the administration will investigate the owner of this post. And anyone, who will misuse the college forum like this or break the community rules, the person who posted such things will be suspended and be fined. In worst cases, the student will be rusticated from the college."
" Xin Liu will not tolerate this kind of audacious behavior of the students." He said.
" Yes Sir. I will do that." The assistant nodded, " But sir, what about the rumors? Shouldn't we do anything about it? Deleting the post without any explanation will only worsen the situation."
Thinking about his assistant's words, he said, " In that case, made another announcement along with the post."
" What kind of announcement sir?" She asked. ——
" Why didn't she come to college today? Is she planning something?" Xingren was in deep thought as she made her way out of the lecture hall after taking the afternoon class.
Since she didn't have any class this morning, she stayed at home and decided to come later. But in the morning, Xu Nuan came to the Gu Mansion to ruin her day.
She thought that she would get to see her in the college in the afternoon and would confront her, but she didn't come to the classes. What can she be planning against her?"
As she was in her thoughts, her friend came running to her, " Xingren, Xingren. Did you see this? That post about your sister has been removed from the forum. And an official warning has been put on the forum."
Xingren frowned and opened the forum on her phone. This can't be happening. How can they delete the post without investigating the rumor?
However, when she saw the warning post, her eyes widened in shock. Along with the post, there was an announcement too.
[ To answer the questions of the students and resolve the ongoing rumor, Mr. Wen, Dean of Xin Liu will update a statement tomorrow addressing the students. The statement will be updated on the college form tomorrow, 8 pm.]
