Chapter 259 Yangmei's Rumors

"Then... let's go to the park tomorrow!" Jiang An suggested with a smile as he peeled off some cogon grass needles.

"No, Xiaxia and I have already discussed it. We're going out to discuss business tomorrow."

There are only two days on weekends a week, so we can't let this brat take up half of our time.

Seeing Jiang An pouting and looking aggrieved, with her creamy, smooth face, it was truly heartbreaking. She gently nudged Gu Xun, and when he turned around, she frantically blinked her eyes at him.

"Well, business can wait. An'an, I'll go to the park with you tomorrow morning, and then I'll go out to do business with Boss Gu in the afternoon."

Well, now that the title 'Boss Gu' has been used, how could Gu Xun not dare to listen? He quickly nodded in agreement.

Jiang An was overjoyed and chased after Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, running wildly in the hall. Aunt Wu couldn't stop him and had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

The next day, early in the morning, the three set off and arrived at the park by car. As soon as they got off the car, Jiang An, carrying a small satchel, ran to the flower bed, stuck out his bottom, and searched through the grass. After finding a cogon grass needle, he excitedly called the other two over.

"An'an, there's a lot inside, go pull it out from inside!" Gu Xun raised an eyebrow and mischievously reminded her.

"No way! Sister Xiaxia said there are too many people pulling out thatch needles inside. If I go... I won't be able to get a spot at all. It's better to just look for them at the park entrance. Look, this is the fifth one!"

At the park entrance, two large trees were planted. However, the cogon grass was clearly no match for the sunlight and nutrients in the soil, so its appearance was... rather poor.

Fortunately, Jiang An wasn't picky. He plucked out all the hairy ones, whether they were fat, short, thin, or long. Seeing him so engrossed in this, someone's little thoughts resurfaced.

He tried everything – giving her candy, shaking her hand, whispering in her ear – but even after being glared at several times, he showed no remorse. Yun Xia had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

Although it was spring, the boy had been bending over and burying himself in picking cogon grass, and he had sweated quite a bit. I took out a tissue and was about to wipe his face when someone snatched it away and roughly wiped the sweat off the boy's face.

Hmph, my darling hasn't wiped my sweat yet. I need to think of a way to get rid of this third wheel.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find an opportunity all morning. Fortunately, after returning to the villa and having lunch, the girl was under his control for the entire afternoon.

He mysteriously pulled her into the room and showed her his treasured collection of motorcycle figurines that had been collected over the years... a whole cabinet full of them.

Although Yunxia was not an expert, she knew that all figurines were usually quite expensive, and at a glance, she estimated there were probably several hundred of them!

"Hey, you were just staying here temporarily, why did you bring all your belongings?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun raised an eyebrow, hugged the girl from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and said while swaying his body, "I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to become a live-in son-in-law. Anyway, I'm all alone and don't have a house. It's so nice to live here all the time! I've already talked to Uncle Bai. The rent is 100 yuan a month, and I signed a 5-year contract."

Yunxia: ...

When was the contract signed? How come I didn't know?

"Aren't you afraid I'll move to the new villa and leave you all alone here!"

"That's great! I'll shamelessly follow them, without paying a cent, and we can have some alone time together, hehehe!"

Yunxia rolled her eyes at him, broke free from his grasp, and touched the miniature Hongchi model. "Heh, dream on. Take me back to school tonight."

"Understood!"

Gu Xun took shamelessness to the extreme, coaxing and cajoling her for a while before finally sending her back to school, satisfied.

At the entrance of Jiangxi Medical University, a flashy red Mercedes attracted a lot of attention.

Yunxia took off her helmet, tidied her hair, slung her bag over her shoulder, and was about to go inside when someone called out to her.

"What's wrong?"

"Your scarf isn't done right, let me help you!"

As he spoke, he strode forward and intimately adjusted her scarf, causing those secretly watching to cover their mouths and chuckle.

"You, Yun Xia, how dare you juggle three relationships at once! Believe me or not, I'll tell Jiang Chao about your shameful deeds!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun's eyes narrowed, and he looked up to examine the arrogant woman with a high ponytail in front of him.

The newcomer was Yang Mei. Seeing the two behaving intimately, she thought to herself that she had finally caught them red-handed. So she stepped forward and deliberately spoke loudly, determined to solidify Yun Xia's reputation for being promiscuous.

"Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I advise you to apologize right now, otherwise..."

Her sharp gaze, like that of a hawk, sent chills down one's spine. Yang Mei swallowed hard, forcing herself to suppress her fear, and continued, "You don't know, do you? She has a rumored boyfriend at school, Bai Ye, the senior at Bai University. Everyone in the school knows it. The two of them often go out on dates and have meals together. Oh, right, she's also stringing Jiang Chao from Jiang University along, playing him like a fool. You can see how clever she is."

“I’m only telling you this because I don’t want you to stay in the dark.”

Having spilled her heart, she felt less afraid. She tidied her hair and waited for the boy to lose his temper. Judging from his punk-style outfit, he seemed to have a bad temper. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she expected.

"My Xiaxia is so charming, she's got Bai Ye and Jiang Chao completely smitten. Hey girl, aren't you just being nosy? What does our business have to do with you? Look at your sour face, you've been talking behind other people's backs all the time, haven't you!"

Suddenly, she turned her head and glanced at the college students who had been watching them. She brushed her bangs aside and said loudly, "Everyone, remember this sour face. Stay away from her and never be friends with her, or who knows what she'll say about you behind your back."

Yang Mei had come to expose Yun Xia's hypocrisy, but instead she was being pointed at and gossiped about by others. Unable to save face any longer, she covered her face with her book on meridian theory and hurriedly ran away.

"Don't go! You haven't told people your name yet! Otherwise... how will people avoid you?"

Hmph, he clearly doesn't understand the principle of being forgiving when possible!

"Okay, okay, tone it down a bit. You should go back now, I need to go back to my dorm. Pick me up this weekend!"

Gu Xun blinked slightly. He wanted to give her a farewell hug, but... there were obviously too many people around, and after what had just happened, too many people were watching. So he waved until the girl's figure disappeared around the corner before riding away on his red horse.

It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. Yang Mei's words still had an effect. Several of Bai Ye's crazy suitors cornered her and forced her to admit that she was promiscuous. Otherwise, they would strip her naked and make her look foolish.

Bai Ye, having received the news from his roommate, rushed frantically to the corner. When he arrived, he saw Yun Xia holding a willow branch, and all those who had tried to bully others were now squatting on the ground, begging for mercy.

"You have no brains at all. You're being used as a pawn without even realizing it. Do you think your parents earn money easily? Do you think it's easy for you to get into Jiangxi Medical University? Instead of studying, you're chasing after your crush all day long. Shameful!"

After finishing his tirade, he noticed Bai Ye had arrived. He threw away the willow branch, clapped his hands, and exclaimed, "Sigh, the charm of a handsome man is truly irresistible!"
