Liao Nanxing glanced at Gu Yao warily, then reluctantly took two steps back.
"Zhou Chunhua, what are you doing here?"
Su Mu came over, rubbing his waist, and sneered, "That's right! Like a ghost, you're haunting Anan. Don't you have any shame?"
Gu Yao was about to speak when Zhou Chunhua pulled him back and reminded him, "Why waste your breath on them? Let's go, we're going to be late."
Gu Yao nodded and followed him away.
"Wait! Gu Yao, what's your relationship with her?" Liao Nanxing caught up and asked.
Gu Yao smiled.
Are you asking about the past or the present?
Liao Nanxing's pupils trembled visibly as she stared in shock at the two figures walking away.
At this moment, Su Mu's face was as cold as if it were covered with a layer of frost.
On their way to the office, Liao Nanxing and Su Mu were unusually quiet.
The two, who used to chat and laugh together, went to their respective offices one after the other like strangers.
As soon as Su Mu sat down at his desk, his colleague came over.
"Su Mu, this is big news! Big news!"
"What?" she asked, puzzled.
Her colleague moved her chair closer to her: "There's a woman with Professor Gu! We were just wondering if the woman with Professor Gu today is the mysterious girlfriend in his WeChat Moments."
Su Mu sneered: "Her?"
She doesn't deserve it!
"What? You know her? Quick, tell us, who is that woman? Although she looks a bit older, she has a great figure! She has everything, she's just as good as a young girl!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I took a look, and her features are quite nice. She's the kind of...classic beauty. When she speaks, she's soft and delicate, with a bit of the feel of a beauty from Jiangnan."
"If you ask me, she must be Teacher Gu's mysterious girlfriend! You didn't see it, the way Teacher Gu looked at her, oh my, it was practically dripping with affection!"
"Really? I was so focused on watching people that I didn't even notice!"
Su Mu remained silent and turned on the computer with a cold expression.
When Zhou Chunhua married Liao Nanxing, Liao Nanxing didn't even hold a wedding banquet.
It was only after Zhou Chunhua's so-called best friend made a big fuss that Liao Nanxing managed to set up a few tables.
He only invited Liao's relatives and friends, as well as a few of Liao Nanxing's old friends. He didn't invite any of her school colleagues, let alone the young girls who had only been working at the school for a few years like her.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal that they do not know Zhou Chunhua.
As for who the mysterious girlfriend they were discussing was, she didn't know. But she knew for sure it couldn't be Zhou Chunhua.
After all, even Liao Nanxing couldn't stand her, so how could Gu Yao, a national heartthrob, possibly be interested in her?
However, seeing the envious looks on his colleagues' faces when they saw Zhou Chunhua, Su Mu felt very uncomfortable.
so……
"Although I don't know who Teacher Gu's mysterious girlfriend is, I'm sure it's definitely not her. So, you don't need to be so envious."
"Huh? If it's not her, then who could it be? I've been at the school for seven or eight years, and this is the first time I've ever seen Teacher Gu with a female companion."
“I think Su Mu is right about that,” Wu Fangfang pushed up her black-rimmed glasses. “I heard she’s just Teacher Gu’s assistant.”
"assistant?"
Su Mu's surprised voice drew everyone's attention.
"Su Mu? You wouldn't happen to... know that woman, would you? If you do, then you have to tell us who she is, what she's capable of, and how she got the position of Teacher Gu's assistant?"
Wu Fangfang also left her workstation and came over.
You should know that she had been applying for that position since she started graduate school. But Professor Gu had never agreed to it.
To put it simply, every senior student over the years wanted to be Professor Gu's assistant. But Professor Gu refused to take any assistants and always kept to himself.
Now that this person has suddenly appeared, she is also very curious about what makes that old woman so special.
"Heh." Su Mu sneered, "As far as I know, that old woman didn't even graduate from university. What makes you think she became Teacher Gu's assistant?"
"No way!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, their faces filled with astonishment.
Su Mu rolled his eyes, took the documents, and left the office.
Only the room was left with a room full of people, and there was no sound.
Over here, Zhou Chunhua is busy organizing the written materials that Gu Yao will need for his class today.
Then I heard someone chirping crickets softly by the door...
"It's her?"
"Absolutely! Shameless!"
"I don't know how Teacher Gu could bring herself to do that! Although she's not bad looking, she's still an old woman after all!"
"You don't understand. Older women have their advantages; they're more open-minded and know how to do anything. Maybe it's really because of that that they won over Teacher Gu?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's really the case, Teacher Gu is really losing his dignity! If this continues, he won't deserve the title of national male god!"
Zhou Chunhua only turned to look at them after hearing the name Teacher Gu.
Several students made eye contact with her, then turned and ran away.
Zhou Chunhua originally thought that these students were ostracizing her, which was why they made up those stories.
But to her surprise, wherever she went, a group of people would stalk her from behind.
Moreover, the things they said were increasingly outrageous.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Zhou Chunhua cornered the two girls in the office corridor.
"If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, I will sue you for fabricating lies and damaging my reputation!"
“We didn’t spread any rumors!” the two girls shouted in unison.
"So, who told you all this nonsense?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
The two girls exchanged a glance, and one of them sneered, "I think you're only angry because someone hit the nail on the head. Don't think we don't know you're an illiterate who didn't even graduate from university! If you hadn't used some underhanded tactics, how could you have become Teacher Gu's assistant?"
"Exactly! Shameless! They must have threatened Teacher Gu with something!"
This time, it was Zhou Chunhua's turn to sneer.
"You brainless idiot! Do you think Teacher Gu is someone who can be easily threatened? You don't even use your brain when you speak or act!"
As soon as she raised her hand, the two little girls were so frightened that they put their books on their heads and ran away.
However, Zhou Chunhua managed to understand what was going on from their explanations.
It's likely that Su Mu played a significant role behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how would they know she hadn't even graduated from university?
Looking at the time on her phone, there were still more than 30 minutes until the end of get out of class. Gu Yao decided to take care of this matter before get out of class ended.
So she turned around and closed the door. "Trying to spread rumors about her? No way!" She walked towards the place she remembered in her high heels.
