Chapter 30 Don’t Think Too Much
Everyone stared at the hideous scar on the middle of Wen Ning's thigh, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Wen Ning seemed unaware of this. She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Does this dress look good on me?"
It looks good, of course it looks good.
But now everyone's attention was not on the skirt, but on the hideous scar.
"Ningning, what's wrong with the injury on your leg?" Zhou Qinghe spoke first.
Lin Wanyi also covered her mouth and exclaimed, "What an ugly wound."
Even Zhou Qingyan, who always disliked Wen Ning, no longer had the urge to bully her. He murmured, "Is it that serious?"
Gu Boyan straightened his relaxed back slightly, staring at the scar with dark eyes. He didn't say anything, but his expression was a little horrified.
Wen Ning lowered his eyes and explained calmly, "I accidentally touched it and left it there."
Zhou Qingci's seat was closest to Wen Ning, so he could naturally see more clearly.
This scar is so severe that it couldn't have been caused by an accidental injury. It looks more like it was caused by repeated cutting and grinding with a blunt object.
Zhou Qingci's eyes flushed blood. "That's impossible. Wen Ning, tell me the truth. How did it get there? Was it done by those people in the sanatorium?"
When the three words "sanatorium" were said, Zhou Qingci was also shocked at first.
I don’t know when it started, but when I saw Wen Ning injured, my first reaction was to suspect the sanatorium?
Zhou Yaya explained in a soft voice, "The doctors and nurses in the sanatorium are all very..."
Wen Ning suddenly interrupted her halfway through her words.
“Not a nursing home.”
"From the director to the nurses, everyone in the nursing home treats the patients with all their heart and soul."
"My injuries are really just from an accidental collision, don't think too much about it."
Wen Ning's words, whether he wanted to scold her for wrongly accusing the sanatorium or think she was deliberately trying to attract attention, were all blocked in his stomach at that moment.
For a moment, everyone felt a choking pain in their hearts.
Especially when he saw the smile on Wen Ning's face, he felt it was extremely ironic.
Zhou Qingyan looked unhappy and said, "You're still laughing. What's so funny about this? With such a long scar on your leg, your husband will probably be too disgusted to touch you in the future."
Shen Xufeng also deeply agreed with this.
The astonishing and heart-pounding feeling I had when I saw Wen Ning come out had completely disappeared with the hideous scar on the middle of his thigh, and I even felt a little disgusted.
But it was really inappropriate for a brother to say such words. Zhou Qinghe's eyes turned red with anger almost instantly and he glared at him fiercely.
But suddenly, a low and magnetic voice sounded.
"When her future husband sees this scar, he won't be disgusted, he'll just feel distressed."
Wen Ning subconsciously looked up and met the man's deep eyes, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
In fact, she didn't mind Zhou Qingyan's harsh words, and she was not planning to find a boyfriend or get married and have children.
Her blood-related and closest family members are so unkind to her. How can she trust a lover whose bond is only maintained by hormones?
She believes in love, but does not yearn for it.
But at this moment, I heard someone defending myself like this.
Wen Ning couldn't help but feel happy.
Zhou Qingyan was upset at being criticized, "Teacher Gu, why do you say that?"
Gu Boyan smiled slightly and said, "I'm just expressing my opinion on what the Second Young Master said."
"If a man's first reaction when he sees his wife's scars is disgust, I can only say that he is unqualified."
"Or will the Second Young Master treat his wife the same way in the future?"
With just one sentence, he easily threw the problem to Zhou Qingyan and rescued Wen Ning from the dilemma of "no one wants him".
Zhou Qingyan choked, "I, I won't. If I really marry a woman, I will definitely accept all her imperfections."
Gu Boyan chuckled, "Second Young Master is such a good man."
Zhou Qingyan's face darkened. "You don't need to praise me."
Gu Boyan also stood up at this time and said, "It's getting late. The afternoon class should start. Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Lin is sorry that she can't accompany you."
This statement is absolutely flawless.
Zhou Donghai could only pretend to encourage him, "Wen Ning, study hard."
Wen Ning nodded, and without saying a word, he followed Gu Boyan away.
Everyone in the Zhou family looked at Wen Ning's back, and the scar on his middle thigh was particularly eye-catching.
Moreover, the more Wen Ning said that the scar was unintentional and that they didn't need to worry, the more worried the Zhou family became and the more suspicious they became.
Was this scar really caused by accidentally touching a sharp object?
As soon as you walk out the door.
The warm midday sun shone on her body.
In the restaurant, the biting cold finally faded away.
Wen Ning said a little embarrassedly, "Teacher Gu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
There was no trace of smile in Gu Boyan's eyes; they were dark and gloomy. "So, you think you are the clown making a fool of yourself?"
Wen Ning hesitated for half a second and didn't speak directly.
Gu Boyan simply stopped.
The man turned to face her, the sunlight evenly scattered behind him. Wen Ning couldn't quite make out the expression on his face, but she inexplicably felt that the current teacher was a little scary.
Wen Ning exhaled lightly, raised his little face, and said, "In my eyes, it's not me who's the clown, it's them."
Zhou Yaya forced her to change her clothes and treated her as a clown for everyone to laugh at.
But little did she know that in her eyes, the Zhou family members were clowns.
Gu Boyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Wen Ning replied with a serious face, "Because I was watching them clearly as they racked their brains to make me look bad. I was the spectator, and they were the actors."
Gu Boyan finally curled his lips, "You are very smart."
But the only thing that concerned Gu Boyan was.
In fact, he had some understanding of Wen Ning's situation before.
After all, he was found after being away for 17 years, and that was even after the Zhou family had already found a replacement.
It can be said that Wen Ning's lack of favor is inevitable.
She has been lacking family affection since childhood and longs for the love of her family, so it is inevitable that she tries her best to please the Zhou family.
Moreover, this lack of love that has been deeply rooted in one's bones since childhood cannot be changed by just a few words from anyone.
So, when they saw that the Zhou family almost openly expressed their disgust and disdain for Wen Ning.
Logically, Wen Ning would blame himself and feel miserable, and then try harder to please the Zhou family in order to gain their favor.
But now...
So, what happened during those three years in the sanatorium that fundamentally changed Wen Ning's personality?
A little girl with a people-pleasing personality who regarded her family as everything in her life has turned into the cold and indifferent person she is today.
However, although Gu Boyan was curious, he did not ask directly.
Just like what he said at the dinner table, he was just Wen Ning's teacher, and paying too much attention to her private life was already crossing the line.
Moreover, he has no interest in exposing other people's scars.
Gu Boyan smiled and said, "In that case, let's continue according to your idea."
Wen Ning nodded seriously, "I will."
