Chapter 524: I’m Not a Gossipy Person
After Gu Jie walked over, he said to Chu Luo with a regretful expression, “Chu Luo, I had something to attend to this morning. It’s a pity that I didn’t perform the safety exercise with you. I heard that you helped everyone come up with the idea to hold a safety lecture. Your idea is really good.”
Chu Luo nodded coldly and had no intention of talking to him.
Gu Lexuan snorted.
Chu Luo and Sun Tianhao looked at her at the same time.
Even though Gu Lexuan had suffered a disadvantage from Chu Luo a few times, she still felt that her status was higher than Chu Luo’s. On what basis did outstanding men only surround Chu Luo?
As the saying goes, ‘Once on shore one prays no more.’ At the sight of Chu Luo, she didn’t want to be nice to her.
Sun Tianhao narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked Gu Jie, “Gu Jie, is your sister jealous of my sister’s talent and beauty? The moment she sees my sister, she sulks. Those who don’t know might think that they have a grudge.”
Gu Jie hadn’t expected Sun Tianhao to ask such a question. He tilted his head and glanced at Gu Lexuan, who had an ugly expression. He was a little unhappy. “Haozi, what are you talking about? Since when did my sister have a grudge against Chu Luo?”
“If there’s no grudge, why did she snort for no reason? Is she crazy?”
“Haozi, you…”
“How can you say that about me?” Gu Lexuan raised her voice before Gu Jie and glared at Sun Tianhao. “How can you be so ungentlemanly in front of a girl? To think you’re from the upper-class society.”
After saying that, she looked at him in disappointment.
Sun Tianhao laughed at Gu Lexuan’s overconfidence.
Just as he was about to retort, Chu Luo said first, “Talking to such a brainless person will lower your intelligence. I suggest you just treat her as air. If you really can’t stand her, you can just beat her up.”
“Chu Luo, why do you say that? How did my sister offend you?” Gu Jie hadn’t expected Chu Luo to ask Sun Tianhao to beat up his sister. He immediately glared at her.
Chu Luo looked at him coldly and said, “Can’t you tell what’s wrong? I don’t know where she got her confidence from to think that she’s superior to others.”
She suddenly approached the two of them and said in a low and dangerous voice, “Could it be because Gu Lexuan’s father is an Earl?”
Gu Lexuan and Gu Jie’s expressions changed when they heard this.
Puzzled, Sun Tianhao asked, “Chu Luo, when did Gu Lexuan’s father become an Earl?”
Chu Luo took a step back and said to Sun Tianhao with a meaningful smile, “Think about it yourself.”
Sun Tianhao thought about it carefully, then looked at Gu Lexuan and said in surprise, “Could it be that your mother gave birth to you in secret with an Earl?”
After saying that, he looked at them as if her family had loose morals.
It was unknown if Gu Lexuan was guilty, but she flew into a rage out of humiliation and growled at Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, you better not spout nonsense. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what do you want to do to my sister?” Sun Tianhao walked towards Gu Lexuan. His sharp aura made Gu Lexuan subconsciously take two steps back. It was unknown what she stepped on, but she staggered and was about to fall.
“Ah…”
Gu Lexuan subconsciously fell towards Gu Jie.
Gu Jie finally came back to his senses. He quickly steadied Gu Lexuan and looked at Chu Luo with a scowl. “Chu Luo, what did you say just now? I advise you not to spout nonsense!”
Chu Luo smiled at him and sneered. “If one has evidence, it’s not spouting nonsense… So you better control your overconfident sister. She thinks that she has a noble status. If anyone reports this news, see if that Earl will come out and speak.”
Gu Jie frowned.
He tilted his head and looked at Gu Lexuan, who was startled by Sun Tianhao and was crying there. His mood suddenly became a little complicated. His auntie was from the Shang family. The Shang family had a powerful backer behind them. The Gu family had wanted this powerful backer, so they had let his uncle marry his pregnant aunt in order to hide it.
Later on, when the Gu family had found out who Gu Lexuan’s biological father was, they had raised her like a princess because they had wanted to build ties with this person.
However, this matter couldn’t be brought to light at all. The Earl had also warned them not to spout nonsense.
Even though the Gu family had lost the backing of the Shang family and the Duanmu family, they still had the backing of the Earl. Therefore, the Gu family had always instilled in Gu Lexuan that she had a noble status. Other than the people from the large families in the capital, no one else was worthy of her.
In Gu Lexuan’s eyes, besides having better results and being a little prettier than her, Chu Luo couldn’t compare to her in other aspects.
So every time she saw Chu Luo being praised by everyone, she felt uncomfortable.
Chu Luo looked at Gu Lexuan and her smile widened.
“You don’t have the life of a princess but you insist on acting like one. Gu Lexuan, you’re just a clown in my eyes. I usually like to ignore clowns, but if you keep making your presence known in front of me, don’t blame me for being rude.”
When Chu Luo said this, she exuded a sharp aura. Not only was it so intense that Gu Lexuan forgot to cry, but even Gu Jie and Sun Tianhao were so shocked that they forgot to react.
Chu Luo walked away.
Sun Tianhao was the first to react. He chased after her.
“Chu Luo, Gu Lexuan is really the daughter of the Earl? Which country’s Earl? Why does she look like people from the empire?”
“X Nation.”
“No wonder!”
X Nation was also in Southeast Asia, so it made sense that Gu Lexuan still had the looks of someone from the empire.
Sun Tianhao had more questions to ask.
Chu Luo glanced at him and stopped him. “If you want to gossip, go back and investigate yourself.”
Sun Tianhao’s words were stuck in his throat. He muttered arrogantly, “I’m not a gossipy person.”
However, in his heart, he wanted to send someone to investigate when he returned.
…
Gu Lexuan and Gu Jie only came back to their senses after Chu Luo and Sun Tianhao had left.
A strong anger suddenly surged in Gu Lexuan’s heart. She had never been so angry before.
“How dare she threaten me!”
At this moment, there were already many students surrounding them.
Everyone pointed and criticized Gu Lexuan.
Gu Jie listened for a while and pulled Gu Lexuan along a path with an ugly expression.
It wasn’t until they reached a remote place that Gu Jie let go of her and said, “Xuanxuan, we can’t afford to offend Chu Luo now. Don’t cause trouble for her for no reason.”
“When did I cause trouble for her? She’s the one who’s been making things difficult for me, okay!” Gu Lexuan hadn’t expected Gu Jie to criticize her. She was so aggrieved that tears flowed down her face.
As she cried, she said, “Chu Luo will snatch anything that catches my eye.”
“What? What did Chu Luo snatch from you?”
“The teacher I liked was snatched by her, the person I liked was snatched by her, and even the spot I fought so hard for was snatched by her.”
Gu Lexuan spoke vaguely, but Gu Jie’s fists tightened as he imagined it.
“Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?”
“I originally thought that I could resolve it. I didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so shameless. She relied on her good relations at Imperial University and instigated everyone to isolate me. I…”
“What?” Gu Jie grabbed Gu Lexuan’s shoulder, his face ashen. “You’re isolated by everyone? Why haven’t you said anything!”
Gu Lexuan started sobbing.
Gu Jie let go of her shoulder and spun around in a fit of anger.
Gu Lexuan said, “Brother, I can’t take this lying down. Can you help me teach Chu Luo a lesson?”
Gu Jie was so angry that his eyes turned red.
“Such a woman has to be taught a lesson.”
A glint flashed across Gu Lexuan’s eyes. “I heard from a friend of mine a few days ago that Chu Luo offended the woman of an influential gangster. That woman is trying to deal with her. Why don’t you…”
Gu Lexuan whispered into Gu Jie’s ear.
When Gu Jie heard this, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before nodding. “Alright, I’ll meet that guy in the afternoon.”
“Brother, don’t let anyone know that you did this.”
“Don’t you have faith in your brother?”
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and smiled before leaving the corner.
However, they hadn’t expected that not long after they left, a girl turned around from a corner.
The girl looked in the direction where the two of them left and the corners of her lips curled up into a calculative smile. She took out her phone and dialed a number. She said to the other party, “Brother, I heard just now… Get someone to follow them. When the time comes, we might be able to play a game of ‘The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’.”
…
Sun Tianhao left after sending Chu Luo to the technology building.
As he left, he said, “Chu Luo, you have to attend the first lecture tonight, right?”
Chu Luo looked at him strangely. “Why should I participate?”
Sun Tianhao said matter-of-factly, “Don’t think that we’re here as instructors. We’re actually students too. How can a few of us hold a lecture for five thousand students?”
Chu Luo smiled faintly.
Sun Tianhao was displeased. “What kind of gaze is that?”
“Aren’t you incredible? You can’t even handle five thousand people?”
“I’m just inexperienced.”
Sun Tianhao realized that he couldn’t be shameless with Chu Luo. If he was, he would lose.
He grinned at her and said, “You’re more experienced than us. When the time comes, help us control the entire venue. You won’t need to be present for lectures in the future.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, let me know after you’ve confirmed the time..”
