Chapter 562: Campus (19)
Gu Qiao: "I'll go buy it."
After Gu Qiao left, Wen Wan went straight home from the hospital and left a note for Gu Qiao.
She was clearly angry, though she didn't know why. Perhaps it was because Gu Qiao cared too much about the female lead. It was understandable, considering they were childhood sweethearts, while she was someone he'd only known for a short time!
Don't go too far.
When she got home, her mother was having afternoon tea. She was very happy to see her. "Ah Ming is back. Didn't your classmate say you were going to stay out for the next few days?"
Wen Wan knew that Gu Qiao hadn't told Wei's mother the truth, but Wen Wan wasn't going to keep quiet. So she told Wei's mother what had happened directly. Wei's mother was shocked and even felt a lingering fear after hearing it. She grabbed Wen Wan's arm to check on her, "Ah Ming, are you alright? You should have called us from the beginning about something this serious!"
Then Wei's mother made a phone call and summoned Wei's father back. She said, "Forget about work. Our son has encountered such a big problem. No matter how important the job is, he must come back and deal with it first."
Wen Wan gave Wei's father a surveillance video of the engagement banquet, and Wei's father would send someone to investigate what happened next.
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to lay a hand on my son, I will make them pay the price."
Although the attack was initially targeted at others, the father was still furious that his own son was the one who fell victim.
But Wei's mother looked at her son through the surveillance footage with a complicated and somewhat ambiguous expression, asking, "Who is this pretty female classmate of Amin's?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"Mom, don't overthink it. I don't like her."
"I was just asking casually."
Wen Wan quickly explained, trying her best not to arouse any suspicion from her mother. In order to avoid such problems in the future, Wen Wan directly sought help from the system. After all, she was a woman, and this would be discovered sooner or later. The most important thing was the original parents. After all, it was somewhat shocking that their son had become a daughter.
The system agrees with this statement, recognizing it as a potential problem that must be addressed as soon as possible.
This directly affected Wei's mother's memory, and a fabricated memory was created for her, making her understand that she gave birth to a daughter, but due to certain reasons, she became a boy.
As for the reason, the system simply couldn't think of one.
After all, the Wei family parents were a young couple who had been extremely loving for decades. The father was a complete henpecked husband, so there was no reasonable reason for them to call a woman a man.
In the end, it was Wen Wan who made up a reason for her. She said that Wei's mother had a dream in which her daughter would be deceived by a man from a poor background and lose all her family fortune. Later, she met a master who told her daughter's fortune and advised her to live as a boy in order to avoid this calamity.
Finally, this memory was implanted into Wei's mother's memory, and so Wen Wan never heard Wei's mother find her a daughter-in-law again, which can be considered as solving a major problem.
...
This matter did not escape Ouyang Feng's notice. Ouyang Feng personally apologized to Wen Wan, after all, it happened at his engagement banquet, and as the host, he had an unshirkable responsibility. He also promised to give her and the Wei family an explanation.
When Hua Hu found out, she was shocked. "I thought you were just flushed from drinking too much, but it turns out you were drugged! You should have said so earlier! I would have found you some clean and pretty girls. What if you got sick from holding it in? I heard you even went to the hospital."
Wen Wan was also shocked by this, asking, "How did you know?"
Hua Hu: "That hospital belongs to the Hua family. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Social death can strike so suddenly; I was forced to the hospital.
"Then do you know..."
"Know what?"
Wen Wan: "System, does he know or not?"
System: [He probably doesn't know. With acting skills this bad, how could he possibly fool you?]
Wen Wan: Okay, that makes sense.
Forget about logic. Even if we know, so be it. It won't change the outcome anyway.
Gu Qiao seemed to know that Wen Wan was angry, but he didn't know why she was angry, or even how to coax her.
The only thing I can do is give Wen Wan two extra sets of practice questions during tutoring sessions.
Wen Wan got even angrier, so the cold war continued.
The investigation into Qin Li's case quickly yielded results, and just like in the original storyline, he was arrested by the police. This incident was used as a pretext to uncover a massive criminal network behind him.
It uncovered a number of illegal activities involving prostitution, gambling, drugs, and money laundering, and made the news.
Wen Wan saw it, and naturally everyone else saw the news as well. Then everyone looked at the female lead in shock, since everyone had guessed that the female lead was dating Qin Li.
The female lead was on the verge of a breakdown and quickly explained that she really had no relationship with Qin Li and did not know Qin Li's true identity.
Whether she knew or not was not important, but seeing Gu Qiao's worry, Wen Wan still helped the female lead resolve this public opinion problem.
But the anger that hadn't subsided only intensified.
After that, except for tutoring time, he went out to play with Hua Hu and the others without saying a word. Finally, Gu Qiao took him to a music classroom, a place that no one usually came to.
"What are you doing? I'm going to eat. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Gu Qiao: "Why are you angry?"
Hearing this question, Wen Wan became even angrier. What angered her most was that the other person had no idea why she was angry and thought she was being unreasonable. Fine, she was being unreasonable. She was just unhappy, disliked, and unwilling.
The first time I fell in love with someone, seeing him care about someone else made me incredibly angry.
"I'm not angry."
"You have to tell me if I've done anything wrong, and I'll definitely change. Don't ignore me." Gu Qiao tugged at Wen Wan's sleeve, looking somewhat aggrieved. Wen Wan was both obsessed with good looks and extremely angry.
"If Liu Yating and I both fell into the river one day, and neither of us could swim, who would you save?"
System: [Host, you're so naive.]
"roll."
Gu Qiao: "???"
"If we can't save everyone, and you can only save one person, would you save me?"
Gu Qiao: "..."
Gu Qiao remained silent. Wen Wan pulled Gu Qiao's hand away. "You see, I can never be number one, so now you know why I'm angry, right? I think we should keep our distance from now on. I was wrong before, and I will return to my rightful place."
Wen Wan was in so much pain that she prepared to leave.
But Gu Qiao grabbed her arm. "What do you mean?"
Wen Wan looked at Gu Qiao and said, "It's shocking that I like you, isn't it? I'm surprised too. But you're so good-looking and outstanding, it's normal for me to like you. You don't need to feel guilty. Maybe I'll meet someone better-looking and more outstanding than you in the future, and then I might not like you anymore."
