65 I Trust You

When Zhang Yue heard this, he paused for a moment. He had indeed been a little overboard with Gu Rou just now. “I’m sorry. I just don’t want you to keep talking about Gu Man.”

“I’m just concerned about her. Am I wrong?” Gu Rou thought that the reason why Zhang Yue didn’t want her to mention Gu Man was definitely because he had a guilty conscience. She still remembered the way Zhang Yue looked at Gu Man yesterday morning.

“Do you really care about her? If you really care, why say that she’s an adopted daughter? You know very well that she’s not.” Zhang Yue held it in and still asked the question that had been bothering him.

When Gu Rou heard this, she felt a little afraid and aggrieved. Zhang Yue actually cared about her saying that Gu Man was an adopted daughter. Could it be that he still remembered that Gu Man was his fiancée?

When Zhang Yue heard that Gu Rou did not answer, he realized that this question was abrupt. After all, he was Gu Man’s fiancé. It was normal for Gu Rou to think too much.

“I was just saying. Don’t mind me.” With that, he reached out to pull Gu Rou’s hand, but she shook him off.

Gu Rou’s tears were like broken beads that flowed non-stop. Zhang Yue took a glance and chose to drive in silence.

Seeing that Zhang Yue was not as patient as usual to coax her, Gu Rou felt that Gu Man was the biggest trouble between her and Zhang Yue. She had to get rid of her.

Only Gu Man and Miss Zhuang Yan were left in the office.

“I received the news last night and was too anxious to look for you. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.” Zhuang Yan sighed. She didn’t expect that a piece of good news would actually make Gu Man fall into such a misunderstanding.

Looking at Zhuang Yan’s self-reproachful expression, Gu Man comforted her. “This is not your fault. Teacher, you don’t have to blame yourself.”

Although she said that, Gu Man’s family had already said such things in front of her. She did not know what nasty words they would say at home. Zhuang Yan was afraid that they would affect Gu Man, so she asked tentatively, “Your family said such things, you…”

“Don’t worry about them. I can make the decision myself.” Gu Man’s expression was not sad at all.

When Zhuang Yan saw this, she was slightly relieved. Then, he told Gu Man about the talent plan that Zhong Kai had mentioned.

“Two days later, my senior will be coming to Han City for a business trip. I’ve decided to arrange for you two to meet. You can just answer as usual. Don’t be nervous.”

Gu Man wanted to laugh when she heard Zhuang Yan’s instructions. “Okay, I understand.”

“Then go back first. I’ll contact you in advance.”

“Okay.”

During class in the afternoon, Xiao Xiao asked Gu Man in surprise, “You want to get into Zhong Chu University?”

“Who told you that?” Gu Man was stunned for a moment. She had only told Miss Zhuang about getting into Zhong Chu University. No, the three people in the afternoon also knew about it.

Miss Zhuang would not say anything. The scope of her suspicion immediately narrowed down.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Xiao replied with a smile, “I heard it from the students in Class Five.”

“How so?”

“He said that the form teacher said in class that they shouldn’t be like Gu Man, reaching for what’s beyond their grasp. She said that your grades are at the bottom and you still want to get into Zhong Chu University.” Xiao Xiao smiled and felt embarrassed. “Gu Man, don’t be sad. With your good looks, you don’t even have to get into Zhong Chu University.”

Listening to Xiao Xiao’s clumsy consolation, Gu Man smiled and felt that it didn’t matter. Anyway, she would definitely go to Zhong Chu University. It didn’t matter what they said now. When the time came, the truth would slap their faces.

“It’s fine. Let them talk,” Gu Man said indifferently.

“But it’s all over the school now. You… really don’t care?” Xiao Xiao was worried that Gu Man was stubborn.

Jiang Yi and Lu You also came over and asked with a smile, “Gu Man, you don’t really want to get into Zhong Chu University, do you?”

“That’s right,” Gu Man admitted.

Xiao Xiao didn’t know what to say. Was Gu Man really biting off more than she could chew? That would be letting down the friendship between deskmates. Should she ask Gu Man to work hard? It seemed a little unrealistic.

Just as she was still struggling with what to say, Jiang Yi said, “I believe you!” He was exceptionally firm.

There were too many unknown things about Gu Man that often exceeded his expectations. He had a feeling that Gu Man might really be able to get in.

Gu Man did not react too much to Jiang Yi’s trust.

After school, Gu Man was walking on the road when her schoolmates saw her and started discussing.

“Do you think she’s crazy? She actually dares to covet Zhong Chu University?”

“Why doesn’t a poor student of Class 10 have any self-awareness?”

“Wei Wei and Han Yi are so capable and they don’t even dare to say that they would definitely be able to get into Zhong Chu University. Yet, she’s so shameless!”

…

As Gu Man listened, they only said the same few things that did not affect her at all.

How boring.

However, as soon as she exited the school gate, she saw a commotion in the crowd.
