Noticing her unsettling emotions, Gu Chenyi looked down and asked, “What happened?”
Lin Qingya immediately reined in her raging hatred. Looking overjoyed, she said, “I’m so happy. Xiao Huan is still popular despite her nasty words.”
With mixed feelings, the boy looked at the girl surrounded by her admirers.
“Chenyi, don’t do this to her anymore,” Lin Qingya urged gently.
“Do you remember how she has slandered your name in the past? She claimed that you were the mastermind behind that fateful night. You were the victim and yet she claimed otherwise!” He felt indignant for her sake. To him, this girl had always been thoughtful toward her bestie, and yet, not only was Mu Huan unappreciative, she even humiliated her for her learning ability in front of others!
Dipping her eyes low, the mastermind looked hurt and resigned as she commented, “No matter how she criticized me, I can’t throw away our years of friendship. I trust that she will return my goodwill one day as long as I don’t give up. I’ll wait for her to see the efforts that I’ve put in.”
“You...” The boy did not know what to say to this naive and kind soul.
Mu Huan had talked about keeping a low profile at school. It turned out that she would be the most conspicuous person on the first day.
It was a good thing that although news about her traveled far and wide, not many of them managed to catch her in person.
Mu Huan went to find the school counselor so she could move to the dormitory where Li Meng was staying.
And this was how she started her first year of university.
When Bao Junyan returned home from his business trip, it was the housekeeper who came out to greet him instead of his sweet, young wife. This made him rather unhappy.
He asked with knitted brows, “Where’s Madam?”
“She’s at school.”
“Classes should have ended by now, shouldn’t it?”
“Madam has said that it will be more convenient for her to stay in the school compound instead of at home during the school term. This is because our house is rather far from the university, and the school rule stipulates that they have to stay back in school for night revision classes every Monday to Wednesday. So she’ll stay in the dormitory every Monday to Thursday, and then at home every Friday and weekends.”
“...”
It was true that Yun University was quite a distance from Bao Junyan’s place. One was in the eastern part of Yun Cheng while the other was in the west. It took about 1.5 hours by car from one place to the next.
When she received a call from him, she was at one of the commercial streets within the university town, thrashing street thugs.
The merchants along this street were being blackmailed by these thugs who were looking for protection money, but the latter was always smart enough to hide their tracks each time the former alerted the police. Once the police left, they would come back, harassing the guests if the shop owners refused to pay up. Many students were too scared to patronize the stores here.
Businesses inside the university town depended on students’ patronage. Without them, they could not sustain.
Hence, the merchants came together with some money and engaged the help of the Know-All Agency.
Mu Huan and Li Meng happened to be near the vicinity and gladly accepted this assignment. Each time the gangsters appeared, a call would be enough to warrant their presence and they would give a good beating. Simply put, the two of them would beat them into submission!
So when she saw that the call was from her hubby, she signaled to her partner with a look and then found a private corner to answer the call.
“Hubby...” She was not sure if he had returned home yet and what his reaction would be if he found out that she was not home when he did.
She knew that he would disapprove of her staying on campus. Hence, she did not discuss this matter with him beforehand. By moving to the dormitory without telling him, she’d hoped that he would let her be by the time he found out about this.
“Are you in school?”
“Yes.” She was not lying as she swept a glance over the campus compound.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m reading inside the library.”
“Good. Wait for me, I’m going over to find you.”
That caught her by surprise. “Hubby, do you plan to come over?”
“Yes. I’m already at your school. I’ll reach the library shortly.”
What!
