"you……"
Enraged, Gu Zihan nearly resorted to violence.
However, she still held back in front of the whole class.
After all, she has always presented herself as a tolerant and friendly rich heiress. If she really slapped him today, and someone with ulterior motives took a picture and posted it on the internet, her carefully cultivated image would be completely ruined!
Gu Zihan's lips trembled as she forced a smile.
"Jiang Mianmian, don't be so smug!" she said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly. "Don't think that just because you married that big, dumb guy, everything's fine! We'll never settle our score!"
Jiang Mianmian glanced at her, then continued flipping through the book as if nothing had happened.
Xia Zhi also went in and sat down next to her, gently holding her hand.
Huo Junyu, standing at the door, witnessed all of this.
He frowned, gave Gu Zihan a disgusted look, and turned to a quiet corner in the corridor.
"Wen Jie, it's me," he whispered into the phone.
Wen Jie on the other end was flattered; this guy rarely called him on his own initiative!
"What's wrong?"
How much do you know about the Gu family?
"The Gu family? Isn't that what you wanted to investigate? Why are you asking me?"
Huo Junyu coughed twice, then fell into an icy silence.
Even through the microphone, Wen Jie could feel the intense pressure emanating from him. He didn't dare joke with him, and after a moment's thought, he said softly, "The Gu family itself isn't powerful, but they have some connections."
Huo Junyu nodded.
Such things happen all the time in the central city.
Some families have little strength of their own, but they can benefit from the support of powerful figures, and by relying on them, they can eventually become a large family.
"Junyu," Wen Jie lowered his voice, "we can't rush things regarding the Gu family's forgery. The evidence isn't complete yet, and we're afraid we might make things worse!"
"Yes, I know."
"You know?" Wen Jie was taken aback. "You know, so why are you asking?"
"I'm not asking about the Gu family's forgery!"
Wen Jie was a little confused, "Then you..."
How much do you know about Gu Zihan?
Wen Jie was completely dumbfounded.
However, this is very much in line with Huo Junyu's personality, making it impossible to guess what he's going to do.
At this point, Wen Jie could only honestly answer: "Gu Zihan, she portrays herself as a rich and obedient girl, but people in this circle know what kind of person she really is."
"If you watch short video websites often, you'll know. Gu Zihan has quite a few fans. Everyone thinks she comes from a good family and is well-behaved and ambitious, so... ha, actually, calling her trash wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"Oh." Huo Junyu smiled. "Well, since it's trash, it should be put where it belongs!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's time to let her fans know how to sort trash!"
Wen Jie was completely confused again.
Before he could even react, Huo Junyu assigned him a task: "Keep an eye on Gu Zihan for the next few days!"
"All right……"
Before he could finish speaking, Young Master Huo hung up the phone.
Whispers could be heard from time to time in the classroom.
Unwilling to accept defeat in the previous round, Gu Zihan continued to harp on the matter of Jiang Mianmian's marriage.
"Jiang Mianmian, don't be so stingy! We've been classmates, aren't you going to host a banquet for your wedding?"
"Are you crazy?" Xia Zhi finally snapped. "Even if Mianmian wanted to invite you, she wouldn't be able to get you to do it!"
"You have no right to speak!" Gu Zihan glared at her.
Jiang Mianmian grabbed Xia Zhi's hand and gave her a wink.
Gu Zihan gave a cold laugh, "By the way, Jiang Mianmian, did you two have a wedding banquet? You probably couldn't afford it, could you?"
"This man is dirt poor, yet you still insist on marrying him. What do you see in him?"
"Gu Zihan," Xia Zhi gritted her teeth, "you know perfectly well why Mianmian got married!"
"How would I know!" Gu Zihan laughed heartily. "Could Jiang Mianmian be hiding something?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Mianmian stood up, her cool gaze sweeping across everyone's faces before finally settling on Gu Zihan's.
When you look into her eyes, she shows no fear.
Gu Zihan was stunned by this imposing aura and remained silent.
"Since everyone is so curious about why I got married, I'll satisfy your curiosity today." Jiang Mianmian smiled and said softly, "Because... I love him!"
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback, including the stunned Gu Zihan.
Jiang Mianmian smiled, secretly relieved that Huo Yu wasn't standing there, otherwise she would have been utterly humiliated.
"Yes, it's because I love him!" Jiang Mianmian deliberately dragged out her words, "My husband is the best man in the world, he can protect me from being bullied! Someone comes to our shop to cause trouble every few days, and it's my husband who stops him... Ha, how could I not love such a husband? How could I not marry him? That would be truly outrageous!"
She then looked at Gu Zihan and said with a cold laugh, "Miss Gu, am I right?"
Gu Zihan's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.
Someone nearby whispered, "Zihan, so it turns out they were mutually in love! What's there to say... How boring!"
Soon the onlookers dispersed, and it was almost time for class. Gu Zihan hadn't gained any advantage.
She originally wanted to see Jiang Mianmian's miserable state. How could Jiang Mianmian possibly have a good time being forced to marry such a man?
But now, it seems that she is not only doing well, but also very satisfied with this marriage!
Gu Zihan gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, feeling as if needles were pricking her heart.
Could it be that she actually helped that little bitch find happiness in marriage?!
Just then, the classroom door suddenly opened, and Huo Yu appeared in the doorway!
The classroom fell silent instantly.
This man seemed to emanate a certain oppressive aura, capable of making anyone submit to him at any time.
Jiang Mianmian slowly got up, her gaze never leaving him.
"you……"
"I've come to bring you your homework," Huo Junyu said gently.
He carefully took out the paper she had printed the night before; the paper was flat and without a single crease.
Jiang Mianmian's heart was pounding in her throat.
"Didn't you say you needed this assignment for the third period? So I went home and got it for you. Please check if this is the one?"
Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and hurriedly looked down to check.
"Yes, this is it..."
"Alright then." Huo Junyu smiled gently. "You focus on your studies, I'm going back now."
He turned and left, but after taking only a few steps, he suddenly turned back.
Jiang Mianmian remained standing still. He chuckled twice, reached out to pat her head, and ruffled her hair.
"Don't eat out at lunchtime, it's not clean," he said in a deep voice. "I'll bring you lunch!"
"Wow, that's Jiang Mianmian's...husband?"
Some people started to huddle together and discuss it in hushed tones.
"He's very handsome!"
"And he's very good to Jiang Mianmian!"
"He doesn't seem to have a mental problem!"
"Could it be... that Gu Zihan didn't understand the situation and is just making fun of us?"
