Li Mengmeng's eyes reddened, but she still tried to remain calm and said:
“My dad and Uncle Gu are good friends. He said that I will definitely marry Gu Xicheng in the future!”
"Your father?"
Lu Qing seemed to sense something was amiss, did some quick calculations with his fingers, and then suddenly realized:
"Oh, your dad's name is Li Ningqiang, right?"
Li Mengmeng asked in confusion, "How do you know my dad?"
Lu Qing said quietly as he ate:
“Yesterday he angered Gu Xicheng and even knocked my snow skin mooncake to the ground. I originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing that he was about to die, I let it go!”
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Li Mengmeng flew into a rage:
"You're talking nonsense! My father is perfectly healthy, how could he be dying?"
"No matter what grudges we have, you can't curse my father!"
Lu Qing: "I didn't curse you, I'm just stating the facts."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Li Mengmeng was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged; she was no longer the goddess she usually was.
Lu Qing didn't care whether Li Mengmeng believed it or not, since the dead person had nothing to do with her anyway.
At this moment, the school security guards arrived. Fearing that a fight might break out among the students, they quickly stepped in to stop it.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Li Mengmeng left without even eating.
Her two roommates didn't chase after her, but instead looked at Gu Fei.
They had previously isolated Gu Fei along with Li Mengmeng because they didn't know her identity. Now that they knew she was the daughter of the Gu family, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"Gu Fei, it was Li Mengmeng who spoke ill of you before, not us!"
"Yes! She said it all; we didn't say anything!"
Gu Fei replied calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm here to learn, not to become a gangster. As long as you don't mess with me, I won't do anything to you."
Gu Fei didn't want to pay any attention to such an unambitious and opportunistic person.
Seeing that things weren't interesting, the two went to eat by themselves.
"Pah! You fence-sitter!"
Leng Wei spat and looked at them with disdain.
"Gu Fei, if you're not comfortable in that dorm, just ask the teacher if you can move to our dorm. Anyway, the dorm is big, so adding an extra bed won't hurt," Cheng Yiyi said with a smile.
Gu Fei shook her head slightly: "No need! I'm not usually in the dorm anyway, I just go back to sleep, no need to go to so much trouble."
"Oh well!"
With Gu Fei's identity exposed, no one would dare to bully her, and Lu Qing felt a little relieved.
After lunch, everyone went back to their dormitories for a nap, and after waking up, they returned to the training field to train.
For Lu Qing, who had been specially trained by his master since childhood, the intensity of military training was nothing, but the other four were not so good at it.
After a day of training, they looked like zombies had drained all their energy; they were listless and didn't even want to eat.
"I'm so tired! Shall we go out for hot pot again?"
"Why go out? Let's order takeout and have it delivered!"
"That makes sense!"
This statement was affirmed by everyone.
When the takeout arrived, everyone was still recovering, so only Lu Qing went to pick it up.
Gu Xicheng happened to be a little late today, so she went to pick up the takeout and brought Xue Meiniang back with her.
She arrived at the dormitory building and had just picked up her takeout when she saw Li Ningqiang coming to pick up Li Mengmeng.
Li Mengmeng tearfully recounted the events of the day to Li Ningqiang:
"Dad, why does Gu Xicheng have a fiancée? Didn't you say he would only marry me?"
"Who told you that Gu Xicheng has a fiancée?" Li Ningqiang asked, frowning.
"She's Gu Xicheng's sister. I just got back and had no idea Gu Rongrong was a fake. I lost a lot of face during the day."
After Li Mengmeng finished her tearful account, she turned around and saw Lu Qing holding takeout and about to go upstairs.
"Dad, it's her! Gu Fei said she's Gu Xicheng's fiancée!"
Li Ningqiang looked at Lu Qing, remembering that he had seen her at Gu Xicheng's company yesterday, and then said sternly:
"Stop right there!"
Lu Qing didn't want to pay attention to them, so she pretended not to hear them and planned to go into the dormitory first and wait for Gu Xicheng to come out.
To her surprise, Li Mengmeng blocked her path.
"Lu Qing, my dad is calling you, didn't you hear him?"
Lu Qing turned to look at Li Ningqiang, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Are you calling me?"
Li Ningqiang squinted and coldly sized up Lu Qing:
"I think I saw you at Gu Xicheng's company yesterday. You're not an employee!"
Lu Qing ignored him, but Li Ningqiang continued asking on his own:
"I heard you're Gu Xicheng's fiancée. What's your name? Who are your parents?"
Li Ningqiang's tone, as if he were interrogating a criminal, greatly displeased Lu Qing.
"Uncle, who are you? Why should I tell you this?"
For some reason, Li Mengmeng suddenly became smug and mocked:
“Dad, I know. Her name is Lu Qing. She has no parents and is an orphan. She lives in a very remote Taoist temple.”
Upon hearing this, Li Ningqiang retorted sarcastically:
"A Taoist temple? It turns out it was a fraud!"
"I don't know what methods you used to become Gu Xicheng's fiancée, but let me tell you, my daughter loves Gu Xicheng, and Gu Xicheng can only marry my daughter in this lifetime!"
"I advise you to get out of the Gu family as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lu Qing was furious: "Uncle, are you out of your mind?"
"Your daughter likes Gu Xicheng, so Gu Xicheng has to marry her? What kind of logic is that?"
Li Ningqiang was furious: "I am Gu Xicheng's elder. Even he doesn't dare to talk to me like that. Who do you think you are!"
"You ignorant brat, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Li Ningqiang raised his hand, about to strike, when Gu Xicheng's icy voice came from behind him:
"Uncle Li, you're an old man, it's not right for you to lay a hand on a young girl!"
Gu Xicheng pulled Lu Qing behind him and said with a forced smile:
"I don't know what my Qingqing did to offend you, that you actually wanted to hit her?"
When Li Ningqiang saw that Gu Xicheng had arrived, he dared not make a move.
After all, he is the young master of the Gu family. The nature of his beating Lu Qing is different from that of beating Gu Xicheng. Besides, if Gu Xicheng were to make a move, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Xiao Gu, it's just in time for you to come. Explain to me what's going on with this Lu Qing? When did you get a fiancée?" Li Ningqiang asked angrily.
Gu Xicheng curled his lips into a cold smile:
"Heh~ Li Ningqiang, I called you 'uncle' out of politeness, but I didn't expect you to actually think you're so important!"
"Do I need to explain to you when I have a fiancée?"
Li Ningqiang hadn't expected Gu Xicheng to be so disrespectful, and immediately retorted angrily:
"How dare you speak to your elders like that? Is this how Gu Yan taught you?"
"Li Ningqiang!" Gu Xicheng's voice grew even colder:
"My father only taught me to respect elders who deserve respect. As for those elders who take advantage of their age, I don't need to be polite to them!"
"you……"
Li Ningqiang wanted to say something more, but Gu Xicheng interrupted him:
"I've heard about what happened during the day. My fiancée is only Lu Qing. If any shameless women continue to spread rumors or bully my fiancée, don't blame me for not giving her face!"
Li Mengmeng realized that the shameless woman Gu Xicheng was referring to was her.
