Chapter 59: Back to School Trouble
The two-month summer vacation is over, and Jiangcheng, a city that ranks first in the country in terms of the number of colleges and universities, has ushered in a peak in enrollment. It seems that the air is filled with the hustle and bustle of the new semester.
Si Yan sent Su Nian to the gate of the School of Fashion of Jiangcheng University. His deep eyes were full of concern. He repeatedly reminded her to take good care of herself and pay attention to safety at school.
He watched Su Nian's back as she walked into the campus, and only drove away slowly after the figure disappeared in the crowd.
Little did people know that three days ago, Zhang Qiuyan, who was working as a summer intern in Su Hong's tailor shop, was grabbed by Su Hong when she finished her work.
Su Hong laid the groundwork mysteriously for a long time before finally revealing that Su Nian was pregnant. She didn't mention the absurd accident that night, but only subtly explained that it was only after they had a child that they went to get a marriage certificate.
Zhang Qiuyan's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, her mouth forming a perfect "O" shape in surprise. Her heart was already pounding with shock. "Wow, wow, wow, I never thought Nian Nian was so open-minded and daring, and I never thought Professor Si would be so fierce! After all this fuss, they actually got on the bus first and bought their tickets later. This is moving too fast!"
Su Hong looked at the child's exaggerated expression, smiled and pulled her back from shock, saying seriously, "Qiuyan, you have to help me look after Su Nian at school in the new semester."
"Of course!" Zhang Qiuyan patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, Aunt Su, we're close friends. We'll definitely take good care of her!"
Knowing that Qiuyan was a righteous girl, Su Hong finally felt relieved.
Following the text message sent by Qiuyan, Su Hong walked straight to the teaching building.
She hadn't planned to live in the dormitory this semester - after all, she would be starting work at Chen's Garment Company soon.
She planned to go to the dormitory with Qiuyan after class to pack up the things she left there last semester and take them back.
When Su Nian walked into the classroom, Zhang Qiuyan had already taken two seats in the front row and was waving at her. She smiled and walked over quickly to sit down.
"Nian Nian!" Zhang Qiuyan leaned closer to her, her voice low but unable to conceal her excitement. She glanced at her belly with an incredulous look. "I heard from Aunt Su that you... Hehe, I didn't expect you and Professor Si to make such rapid progress... I knew it, facing such a good-looking and talented man, who could resist? How many times did you get pregnant? Tell me the details!"
"Zhang Qiuyan, you have changed, becoming more and more dirty!" Su Nian blushed and gently pushed her away, then laughed and changed the subject.
The two little sisters were chatting and laughing when a gloomy voice suddenly interrupted, "Hey, someone has gotten high up, right? They were driven to the school gate in a luxury car this morning."
The two looked up and saw that the person speaking was not Zhou Xiaomeng.
"Xiao Meng, are you serious?" Liu Ying, who was standing nearby, immediately leaned forward and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "No wonder you suddenly stopped living in the dorms this semester. I guess you found a sponsor!"
At this time, many students had already come to the classroom. Such explosive gossip instantly ignited everyone's curiosity, and discussions in groups of three or two came one after another.
"Zhou Xiaomeng, don't you live in the dorms too?" Zhang Qiuyan immediately stood up and retorted in a clear voice, "Su Nian's family lives in Jiangcheng. It's her freedom to live there if she wants to. Who are you to criticize?"
"That's right!" Chen Yao from the next dormitory also spoke up. She had long been fed up with Zhou Xiaomeng and Liu Ying's gossipy faces.
These days at school, she has heard a lot of rumors about Zhou Xiaomeng.
"Su Nian is from Jiangcheng, so it makes sense for him to come to school from home instead of living on campus. What about you? Zhou Xiaomeng, where are you from?" Chen Yao asked back reasonably.
Zhang Qiuyan pressed on, pressing the issue with all her might. "Besides, if you don't take a car, do you have to walk to school? Nian Nian's family can afford a luxury car, so you're right to feel unbalanced! There's no point in being sarcastic here!"
The classmates sighed when they heard this, and looked at Zhou Xiaomeng with eyes full of ridicule - it turned out that she was the one who cried thief, using some unfounded things to slander others.
Zhou Xiaomeng's face turned pale and blue, and she felt a little guilty. She really didn't live in the dormitory, and she couldn't bear to be questioned about how she got to school.
What's funny is that the news that she seemed to be kept by a rich sponsor and lived with someone outside during the summer vacation has been spread all over the place by others, but she herself is still completely unaware of it.
"Don't try to make excuses! You are all in the same group! I... I'm just telling you what I saw!" Zhou Xiaomeng said weakly.
"I heard that during the summer vacation, Su Nian caused serious damage to senior Li Yuan's studio and almost made him bankrupt!" Seeing that Zhou Xiaomeng was at a disadvantage, Liu Ying immediately threw out new "explosive news".
When she came to school a few days ago, she heard the news spread by He Qian, and naturally she would not miss any opportunity to attack Su Nian.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn back to the past, and they began to discuss quietly:
"Really? What's going on here?"
"So, Li Yuan and Su Nian really broke up?"
"So, it seems that the two of them have completely fallen out?"
…
Li Yuan and Su Nian were once considered the golden couple of the Fashion Institute. Both were talented, and their relationship had long been known to everyone. Now, after hearing this explosive news, everyone was obviously even more interested.
Zhang Qiuyan shouted again, "What do you know? How dare you talk nonsense here? It was that scumbag Li Yuan who cheated first. They broke up before summer vacation. Everyone saw it! Li Yuan took the award-winning design he and Nian Nian had won together and secretly sold it for profit without Nian Nian's knowledge. Nian Nian just succeeded in defending her rights!"
"I said there must be something fishy here. Li Yuan is so unkind!" Chen Yao immediately chimed in.
"Let me tell you something even more exciting," Zhang Qiuyan deliberately raised her voice, hoping to make Zhou Xiaomeng and Liu Ying jealous. "Su Nian has been hired by Chen's Clothing Company. She's officially a designer and can start work anytime!"
"What are you bragging about!" Liu Ying sneered, her face full of disdain, "What employment? It's just an internship at best, and I guess it's unpaid. And a designer? Who are you kidding?" Her family runs a garment factory, and she knows very well that it is impossible for college students like them who have not yet graduated to find such a good job.
Zhou Xiaomeng was shocked when she heard what Liu Ying said. Could it be that she had told her about her affairs?
Regardless of that, she quickly echoed, "That's right, I'm afraid it's just a dream!"
Zhou Xiaomeng dreamed that her financial sponsor was the brother-in-law of a department manager of Chen's. After using many connections, he reluctantly agreed to let her intern in Chen's design department for three months, of course without salary.
How dare Su Nian say that she was hired as a designer by Chen's? Why didn't she just say that Chen's was owned by her family? How ridiculous!
Zhou Xiaomeng sneered inwardly, thinking that she would be going to Chen's for an internship next month. Then she would let everyone see who could really get a job at Chen's. She was not afraid that Su Nian would reveal her true colors.
At this time, Su Nian gently pulled Zhang Qiuyan's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
Zhang Qiuyan refused to give in and rolled her eyes at the two of them: "Believe it or not!"
The discussions in the classroom gradually died down, and everyone looked at Zhou Xiaomeng and Liu Ying with a little more contempt. The farce finally ended with their embarrassing ending.
