Chapter 204: Returning to School
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed unknowingly. After the new year, school soon started.
When Gu Xiao and Chu An appeared in the classroom, the students all looked at them.
After all, they all knew what was happening online. At present, the broadcasting of “The Return of the Crimson Child” had continued with great popularity, and the students were also discussing whether “The Return of the Crimson Child” was based on Gu Xiao and the Ji family. They were all a little curious about this matter.
Of course, more importantly, they also knew how big Gu Xiao and Chu An’s current company was.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them had taken leave from time to time because of the company, the students thought that they would not come to school again or take the college entrance examination.
Under the gazes of the students, the two of them sat in their seats naturally and began to study.
Seeing that the two of them did not seem to have any reaction, the other students discussed softly with their friends around them.
“Hey! Do you think Xu Yu is Gu Xiao? Who dares to ask?”
“Who would dare to ask about such a thing?! But didn’t they say that the Ji Group changed hands because of the ugly things the Ji family head did? Doesn’t that mean that the things in ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ are all true?” “But afterwards, the Ji Group and Gu Xiao didn’t admit anything. 1 heard that the Ji Group has been refuting this theory internally. There are also differing opinions online. Who knows what the truth is?”
“I think! Perhaps Gu Xiao is just making things up to gain popularity? Look at how much discussion there is on the Internet about ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ now. Gu Xiao even took the opportunity to set up a video platform and advance her career!”
A somewhat envious voice suddenly sounded, causing the others to stop discussing.
The few students who had spoken previously looked at the boy who had spoken last. Indeed, he was the one who had been badmouthing Gu Xiao previously.
This boy’s name was Shen Xing. When Gu Xiao had just transferred over, he heard that she might be a daughter of the Ji family. After seeing that Gu Xiao was good-looking, he confessed to her.
However, it was heard how Shen Xing looked high and mighty when he confessed, and Gu Xiao left without even listening to him.
Shen Xing felt that he had been humiliated. After that, when he met Gu Xiao, he would belittle her and even speak harshly to her. It was as if he was chasing after Gu Xiao to target her.
Now, because Gu Xiao and Chu An had established a relatively large company in the short two years, and without the Ji family’s suppression, the students in the class admired the two of them.
There were very few people in the class who still targeted Gu Xiao like Shen Xing did.
Seeing that the others were silent, Shen Xing was not angry. He continued to talk to himself. “1 think all of this was directed and acted by Gu Xiao. I heard that she even chased Ji Yao out of the Ji family. She’s really petty! Someone like Gu Xiao…”
Shen Xing kept speculating about Gu Xiao, and his words became more and more overboard.
“Shen Xing! Shut up! Who doesn’t know why you’re targeting Gu Xiao? How can a man be so petty? You still have the cheek to say that others are petty! Have some shame!”
A classmate could not stand Shen Xing’s accusations against Gu Xiao and could not help but scold him in a low voice.
Shen Xing was stunned when he heard this. When he came back to his sense, a trace of anger flashed across his face.
“W-What do you mean! I…”
Before he could finish retorting, he saw the form teacher walking into the classroom from the corner of his eye.
Not daring to be audacious in front of the form teacher, Shen Xing could only shut his mouth. He glared angrily at the classmate who had scolded him before and turned around.
When the others saw this, they secretly rolled their eyes and focused their attention on the form teacher.
The last bit of commotion between Shen Xing and the others alarmed Chu An. He looked up and didn’t find anything interesting, so he retracted his gaze in boredom.
He glanced at Gu Xiao, who was studying seriously, and raised his eyebrows in Gu Xiao’s direction.
“Xiaoxiao, what do you think they were talking about just now? Are they talking about us?”
Hearing this, Gu Xiao lazily raised her eyelids and glanced in the direction of Shen Xing and the others before quickly retracting her gaze.
“Whether it’s true or not has nothing to do with me. Sit properly. The teacher is looking!”
Gu Xiao was still very respectful to good teachers and was willing to be a good student for the teacher’s sake. Seeing the form teacher look over, she couldn’t help but remind Chu An..
