The next day, Gou An sat in the classroom with dark circles under his eyes and yawned continuously.

Last night, I talked on the phone with Zhou Yutong until after 1 a.m., and only after confirming that Marmot had checked into her company's hotel did she hang up the phone and crawl back into bed contentedly.

Last night, there was a wave of gossip in Jiangcheng's upper circles because of the Zhou family's affairs - of course, it was not to the extent of an earthquake, because the Zhou family was not at that level either.

The Zhou family only owns a few basic processing factories and a resort. The scale of their assets is so large that even the development team of Jinshan Wharf cannot squeeze in. The bloody stories about illegitimate daughters, adopted daughters, and real and fake daughters are actually not worth people's surprise.

This led to a lull in the local trending searches in Jiangcheng. When Gou An entered the classroom today, the only person who showed her pupils trembling was Tang Xinjiu.

Jiangcheng A University is a comprehensive university that recruits students from all over the country. Compared to what gossip about the nouveau riche in Jiangcheng yesterday, the students are obviously more concerned about the final exams next week.

When the students smelled some clues, they found out that it was Lu Wan.

Gou An and Tang Xinjiu were sorting out what happened last night when a girl who usually got along well with them came over, stuffed a cup of soy milk into Gou An's mouth, and said mysteriously, "Guess what?"

Gou An poked the soy milk cup with a straw and raised his eyebrows.

"I saw Lu Wan this morning," the girl said with a "huh," "early in the morning, getting off an Audi A6."

Tang Xinjiu showed a disdainful expression.

"Don't make random guesses." Gou An said expressionlessly, "Put away your gossipy face. Although we are immoral and boring, we don't make up dirty rumors. The car you saw is actually Lu Wan's Daddy..."

She admitted that when she pronounced the English word, the ending sound was upturned, which made it sound a bit vulgar.

The main thing is that she can't really pronounce the words "Lu Wan's father" in original Chinese. She always feels inexplicably ashamed, just like last night when Gou Yu held her hand and assured her affectionately that she was his biological daughter and that he hadn't been taken away by mistake...

It makes me suffocate just thinking about it.

I would really thank you.

But by the time she said this, a group of male and female classmates who had gathered around to listen to the gossip had already burst into laughter.

One boy said, "I know, I know - is that what you call Sugar Daddy?"

This opened up the conversation.

"Oh my, it's only your sophomore year, aren't you a little too anxious?"

"Lu Wan is a good student, why would he do such a thing?"

"I don't know. When I was in the Japanese language class, a teacher said that the girls there worked so hard to go to a good university just because they wanted to meet a good man and then get married and return to their family—"

"Bah, stop talking nonsense. What era is this? I don't believe this kind of thing still exists!"

"What does Lu Wan want..."

“Picture Sugar Daddy’s Audi A6!”

Hearing these people talking nonsense, Gou An moved her lips. She was about to defend herself and say that she didn't mean that. If this got out, it would become "Gou An said Lu Wan has a Sugar Daddy". She would be wronged.

Just as she was about to speak, Tang Xinjiu screamed and was hit hard from behind!

Gou An reached out to support her, and covered the corner of the table to prevent her stomach from hitting it. She raised her hand and shook her red palm, and she saw Lu Wan, who was staring at her with his schoolbag on his back, across the crowd.

The expression looks like he wants to eat someone.

The students around them realized that they were caught gossiping by the real person, and they all stopped talking in embarrassment. When they were about to leave in twos and threes, they heard Lu Wan questioning Gou An: "Is it interesting? Why are you so talkative? It's fine if you gossip about me, but you're also spreading rumors that I'm being supported by someone outside?"

Ah, yes, yes, all the unfriendly remarks towards the heroine must be my fault.

Gou An thought, this was probably the vicious female supporting role.

Rubbing his hand that was hurt from the collision, Gou An said "Yo", stood up from his seat, and looked at Lu Wan: "The sound is so loud."

His eyes are focused and bright.

Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling a little dazed, and suddenly he smelled the scent of war.

Lu Wan said with a stern face: "You clearly know what's going on, why——"

"Lu Wan, I only said that Zhou Chu is your Daddy, the Sugar Daddy they call him. It's none of my business. Don't blame me for all that bullshit. I've tolerated you for a long time."

Gou An interrupted her with a cold face.

"I just used a random word, and my classmates were able to associate it with that. Do you blame me? They are so mean to spread dirty rumors. Why don't you reflect on yourself? If you don't usually speak in a coquettish tone and bite your lips with red eyes, how can you give people a positive impression? What era is this? It's just because gentle girls don't look like this! Wasn't your tone of voice when you questioned me just now quite normal? You can obviously talk properly, why do you have to act like a little white rabbit and twist around?"

Lu Wan clenched her schoolbag tightly in her hand, but Gou An didn't give her a chance to refute.

"You blame me for everything. This way you can hypnotize yourself. The only one who hates you is Gou An. It's all Gou An's fault. The other students love you very much, right?"

Gou An paused, stretched out a finger, poked Lu Wan's shoulder, and shook her while raising his voice -

"You're just daydreaming! There are so many people who hate you, it has nothing to do with me! I have nothing to do with you and I'm talking about you every day? Look in the mirror, do you deserve it?!"

The output was completed in a sonorous and powerful voice, and Gou An finally woke up from his sleepiness.

He pulled the schoolbag out of the drawer with force, as if he was going to return it to Lu Wan, and bumped into her shoulder hard, then walked towards the empty seat in the front row.

It seemed as if he was unhappy sitting behind and breathing the same air with Lu Wan within a one-meter radius.

Gou An's voice did not subside in the slightest. All the students in the classroom heard it. Someone who was eager to cause chaos in the world whistled and generously admitted that he was indeed the one who said the word "Sugar Daddy" -

Gou An only said the second half.

"If it's not, just say it directly!"

Someone whispered a reminder.

People nowadays are like this. When something goes wrong, they always make excuses for their own arbitrary actions instead of apologizing...

Gou An dropped his schoolbag in the first row and glanced back at Lu Wan casually, watching her standing there, accepting the judgmental gaze of the whole class.

If it were anyone else, Gou An would have stepped forward to stop them, pointing out that these people had made up the yellow rumor first and that it would be better not to be so confident...

But that was Lu Wan, she really didn’t care.

Zhou Yutong had acted rudely towards her, but it was not to the point where her parents were no longer her own and she became homeless.

The original novel was a bit too much.

Gou An means helping relatives but not others.

When she opened her pencil case and took out a pen, she felt a darkening in front of her. It was Lu Wan who came in front of her. He lowered his head and stared at her with a pair of black eyes: "Because of Zhou Yutong?"

"It's also because I hate you." Gou An tilted his head. "Is Zhou Yutong's bed soft? When you climbed onto her bed yesterday, she was sitting in McDonald's in the middle of the night in her slippers in the freezing cold—"

"I went back to my own home in Zhaipu District last night." Lu Wan said, "I'm not so shameless as to move into Zhou's house impatiently."

Gou An blinked: "Didn't you drive an Audi A6 this morning——"

"Because I'm sure Zhou Chu is my father." Lu Wan interrupted him, "He missed me very much and came to send me to school this morning. My mother passed away early, and I never had a father, so I wanted to talk to him. What's wrong with that?"

"Why are you telling me all this? I am still moved to tears by your family affection—"

"Gou An, you don't have to hate me so much. Even if I am Zhou Chu's daughter, so what if I am not Zhou Yutong? Last night I still slept in the Zhaipu area with only a 70-yuan electric blanket. Where is Zhou Yutong?"

"My hotel." Gou An raised the corner of his lips sarcastically, "No way, no way, should she sleep under the bridge to make you look less wronged?"

"I just think she's not that wronged. Why don't you let her exchange with me and let the little princess live in the Jaipu District for once?"

The corner of the notebook hit Lu Wan's chin. She cried out in pain, took a step back, bent down to pick up the notebook, raised it high and was about to slap it back -

The next second, her wrist was grabbed, and the huge force pressed her wrist hard on the table! With a loud "snap", everyone in the classroom was startled and turned around in panic! Lu Wan screamed in pain, her thin eyebrows wrinkled into a ball, staring at Gou An with bright eyes, and asked in a voice that was enduring pain: "Does it have to be like this?"

"Don't talk to me in that tone. It makes you sound like you have some big tricks up your sleeve."

Gou An smiled at her.

After a few seconds, he let her go and watched her immediately step back. He raised his hand to rub her red wrist. Gou An took the notebook from her hand and threw it back into his drawer.

"This declaration of war came half a year late. I should have killed you the day my cat died. Lu Wan, clean your neck and wait. We'll see."

At noon, Zhou Yutong, who had skipped classes for a day, came to have lunch with Gou An.

A lazy senior male student followed behind him all the way into the student union office. Including Tang Xinjiu, there were about six female college students who asked Li Du if he had ever considered attending our school.

Li Du picked his ears and smiled lazily, "I'm a bad student, so I may just have to go back home and inherit a fortune worth billions."

Zhou Yutong rolled her eyes so much that they were about to pop out of her frame.

She sat down next to Gou An and was immediately grabbed by the collar. Before she could react, Gou An had already opened her collar and stretched his head to take a look, then gasped: "I killed He Jinxing."

Zhou Yutong: “…”

Zhou Yutong slapped her hand away: "Nothing happened. Chen Jinli's inappropriate remarks caused a certain degree of damage - let's just say it was a complete collapse - so I quit the game in time. There's no need to be implicated."

Gou An had already taken out his cell phone and was ready to make a call to start today's unreasonable trouble.

Until Zhou Yutong snatched her cell phone.

Gou An grabbed her collar and rubbed the marks left on her collarbone with his thumb protectively. Then he raised his head and looked at Li Du who was sitting next to him and playing with his phone.

The latter shuddered at the burning gaze, raised her head and tilted it obediently: "Sister, what do you want to do?"

Gou An muttered: "Come and disinfect..."

Li Du's face was blank.

Zhou Yutong jumped up: "What are you doing! No way! We are in a pure relationship between a man and a woman! He can't do that! No way!"

Li Du looked down at the phone screen which had turned black and white because the character had been killed.

"I actually wanted to say these words, but I don't know why it hurts to hear you say them first." He looked at Zhou Yutong, "Why can't I? Go out and stand in the middle of the playground to hand out flyers. Ask anyone with eyes, even the dog next to the cafeteria, if I am more than qualified to be with you."

“More than enough!”

Zhou Yutong sneered like a rooster crowing.

Gou An wanted to cover his ears because of their noise, but he did not forget the main business of coming to the Student Union office - he took out one of the documents from the stack at hand and put it aside.

Zhou Yutong noticed that she recognized the photo on the upper right corner of the profile even if it turned into ashes. She paused and asked in a voice that sounded like she was having indigestion, "What is this?"

"Application for poverty-stricken student aid." Gou An said calmly, "Student Lu, who came to school in an Audi A6 this morning, obviously doesn't need it."

It goes without saying who the Audi A6 belongs to.

This was not easy for Zhou Yutong to accept. Her face twisted and she remained silent for a rare moment.

Gou An glanced at her and said, "She was rumored to be obscene when she took that bus this morning. It has a very bad impact. I have to go to the teacher's office to clear things up for her later."

Zhou Yutong: "...Does the student union still care about this?"

"We are only collecting information," Gou An said, "but I am just trying to help others and clarify rumors. What does this have to do with the student union?"

She blew the documents in her hand with a frivolous expression.

The slender fingertips flicked the pretty little face in the photo that was smiling at the camera.

As a result, just after the last class in the afternoon, Gou An was stopped at the school gate by Lu Wan, who was carrying a schoolbag. With red eyes, he looked at the little white flower heroine who had cried for a round and questioned her in a sharp voice whether she was the one who provided subsidies for poor students.

Zhou Yutong and Lu Wanna, who were waiting for Gou An at the school gate, were like enemies meeting and were extremely jealous of each other.

Seeing that she looked like she had been bullied by ten thousand people, Zhou Yutong wanted to rush up and hit her twice.

Gou An reached out to stop her.

"Lu Wan, I told you this morning that the war has begun." He raised his hand and gently patted the angry face in front of him, "You don't think I'm joking, do you?"

Gou An paused.

Then he looked at Lu Wan with an innocent face.

"It's just a few thousand yuan. Zhou Chu can't even pay the tuition? Or as Zhou Chu's biological daughter, you don't want to let go of these few thousand yuan. Although money is not too much, this kind of money should be left to students in need——"

After she finished speaking, some people at the school gate looked over.

Although I don't know what they are talking about, Gou An clearly mentioned the "poverty subsidy". Many people in universities whose families are not actually in difficult circumstances are greedy for this money, which results in students who really need it not being able to apply...

They looked at me with disdain.

The gaze stung Lu Wan so much that he hunched his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and shouted "Gou An" hatefully.

Gou An smiled at her - to be honest, she hadn't learned anything else after being with He Jinxing for so long - she quickly learned his hypocritical smile, but it was just a fake smile, which made her look less elegant and dignified, and more annoying.

"Don't call me by my name." Gou An said slowly, "This is not over yet, Lu Wan. You want an internship at Chen Jinli's research institute, and you want to increase the number of exchange places to Germany next year, right?"

She paused and looked at Lu Wan, who was glaring at her as if someone was choking him.

"Then let me tell you, whether it's a graduate school place or an exchange student place, you won't get any."

She stopped laughing and spoke every word with great force, leaving no doubt in her tone that she was completely serious -

"Impossible, at least the internship quota for the institute has been decided..."

"Once you sign the contract, I can tear it up in front of you. Just wait and see."

"Gou An, what makes you think you can do that?" "Because I am Gou An."

"you--"

"Stop talking about you, can you please go away? I feel really bad just seeing you." Gou An frowned and said sincerely, "I want to pull out my wand and shout 'Expecto Patronus'."

Zhou Yutong: “…”

Before she could praise Gou An for her various ways of cursing, Zhou Yutong patted her on the shoulder and said, "The spell is really effective. Your patronus is here."

Gou An turned around and saw a shiny black Maybach behind them, which stopped right under their noses.

The car door opened, He Jinxing, dressed in formal attire, bent down, and stepped out of the car with his long legs.

"What a shame, it's actually in human form."

Zhou Yutong said expressionlessly.

"I thought it was going to be a whole army of groundhogs."
