Chapter 25 Attending the School Anniversary Celebration
Are you busy today? Want to come for a walk around the school with me?
Su Ruan sat at the dining table eating breakfast and extended an invitation to Gu Jinyuan, who had been wearing a dark expression since last night.
"Let's forget it. It would be embarrassing for you to be with someone as funny as me."
Gu Jinyuan used a knife to fiercely chop up a fried egg, then put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
Su Ruan felt a cool breeze on the back of her neck, and the fried egg felt like her own head.
Ever since she said "that's funny" last night, Gu Jinyuan has gone back to his room without looking back.
Despite his anger, he still got up as usual to make her breakfast in the morning.
This made Su Ruan feel uneasy, so she took the initiative to invite him out, but the man didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Who said you're a disgrace to me? If any bastard dares to say that, I'll smash his head in. You're so handsome, everyone's bound to be envious and jealous of me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinyuan finally looked up at Su Ruan as if it were a favor. Su Ruan cupped her face and blinked at him, trying to look cute. Gu Jinyuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Ah Yuan, you look so handsome when you smile." Su Ruan meant it sincerely; she especially loved seeing Gu Jinyuan's uninhibited smile.
"Alright," Gu Jinyuan replied indifferently.
After breakfast, Su Ruan went to pick out clothes for the two of them, while Gu Jinyuan tidied up the kitchen.
Su Ruan looked at the rows of clothes in the dressing room; these were all the latest seasonal styles that she had asked various luxury brand stores to send to her.
Although today is the school's anniversary celebration, these graduating students don't need to dress too formally.
Su Ruan usually prefers a comfortable and casual style of dressing. She specially chose a polo shirt-style couple's outfit, with the man wearing a shirt and trousers, and her wearing a fitted skirt.
Pair it with a pair of diamond earrings and a small Chanel bag for a clean and sophisticated look that is both bright and dignified.
The two were wearing the same pair of white sneakers.
After changing his clothes, Gu Jinyuan and Su Ruan squeezed together in front of a mirror and looked at themselves. Gu Jinyuan's expression was very satisfied.
Su Ruan couldn't help but chuckle to herself. In fact, Gu Jinyuan was sometimes really simple-minded. She only needed to spend a little effort to coax him, and he would be overjoyed.
The two drove to the school gate, parked the car, and Su Ruan waited for Gu Jinyuan to come over before taking his hand and walking into the school.
Gu Jinyuan's face showed a very pleasant expression, but he suppressed the corners of his mouth and arrogantly let Su Ruan lead him forward slowly.
Along the way, their striking good looks attracted a constant stream of onlookers and gasps of amazement.
Especially Su Ruan, a former star student and pure campus beauty at Kyoto University, who had only graduated a year ago.
When she came to the school this time, many students recognized her. As she walked, she attracted groups of younger students who came over to greet her.
They walked around the two of them, nudging and whispering to each other, enthusiastically introducing Su Ruan to the changes at the school.
After the female students learned about the relationship between the two, they dispersed, only talking about Gu Jinyuan from a distance, marveling at their senior's incredibly handsome husband.
But the younger students clearly couldn't tell the difference between them and Su Ruan. They fawned over her like bees and butterflies drawn to a flower, and she wouldn't leave them.
Su Ruan greeted them calmly, but suddenly felt the pressure on her hands gradually increase.
She turned to look at Gu Jinyuan, and noticed that his face had darkened again.
"Hey guys, you still have class, right? I'm off to see the principal!"
Upon hearing that Su Ruan was going to see the principal, the group of junior students scattered in all directions.
Seeing Gu Jinyuan's relaxed expression, Su Ruan couldn't help but chuckle.
The two arrived at the principal's office, where many people were already seated. As Su Ruan entered, she unexpectedly bumped into the gaze of an old acquaintance.
Why is Jiang Siyan here too?
However, upon further reflection, it's not surprising, after all, Jiang Siyan was also an outstanding graduate of this university and the head of the Jiang family.
Su Ruan just felt like she hadn't seen this person in a long time, so why did he look so bad?
His eyelids were swollen, his eyes were dark, he looked haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight.
It seems the Jiang family is facing a very serious crisis recently, and she feels quite relieved.
I wonder which living deity in heaven heard her prayers and tormented this scumbag like this; it's truly a blessing from heaven.
"Principal Zhang, congratulations on the centennial celebration of our alma mater! You are still as energetic as ever!"
When Principal Zhang saw Su Ruan enter, he stood up with a smile and came over to greet her, along with Su Ruan's mentor, and shook hands with her.
Kyoto University has top-notch programs in all subjects nationwide, except for its art department, which has consistently been overshadowed by Kyoto's top art academy.
As a result, in her sophomore year, Su Ruan's painting won a gold medal internationally, which greatly boosted the prestige of their art academy.
This can be considered the most glorious moment in the history of the art major.
Their impression of Su Ruan was extremely deep.
"Xiao Su, I'm so happy that you could take the time to attend our centennial celebration." Principal Zhang was beaming with joy.
"Principal, you're too kind. I was nurtured by you and Teacher Wang when I was in school, so I definitely had to come to participate in such an important event for the school."
Teacher Wang, how have you been lately?
Su Ruan greeted her mentor politely. When Professor Wang saw his most capable and beloved student, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
"Your teacher is in very good health, but your teacher's wife misses you very much. Please come and visit us when you have time."
"I've been quite busy lately, but I'll try to visit you when I have time."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Professor Wang looked at the man next to Su Ruan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Su Ruan, weren't you engaged to Jiang Siyan? Why didn't you come with me today?"
The principal's office was filled with prominent figures from recent years, all of whom were very clear about the relationship between Su Ruan and Jiang Siyan.
They had many questions, and the room was completely silent as they waited for Su Ruan's answer.
Su Ruan smiled calmly, "Teacher Wang, Jiang Siyan and I broke off our engagement a long time ago. In addition, I am already married, and the man next to me is my current husband, Gu Jinyuan."
"Huh? You and Xiao Jiang broke off your engagement? You're already married? When did this happen? I didn't even know. Why didn't you tell your teacher? I could have sent you a red envelope."
Professor Wang kept complaining, and took out his phone to send Su Ruan a large red envelope, which Su Ruan quickly declined.
"Ha! How shameless! My sister is just keeping a gigolo, and you dare to say it in public like this? I'm ashamed for you even if you don't feel embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruan turned her head and saw a woman stepping out from among the group of women; it was Su Xin.
Su Xin didn't graduate from this school at all; she just went to a dubious university abroad. How could she be qualified to be here?
It seems that Jiang Siyan must have brought them here.
The women surrounding Su Xin were all former friends of Su Ruan, but they had long since betrayed her and were now hanging out with Su Xin.
However, Su Ruan didn't care about such fickle friends at all.
She curled her lips into a mocking smile and glanced at Su Xin.
"Su Xin, are you a student at our school? You're someone who has absolutely no connection to us, so just stay put on the side."
"What right do you have to speak here with a diploma from some dubious university? If you say another word, believe me, I'll slap you!"
