Chapter 592: I’ll Talk, I’ll Talk, Alright?

"Sister, Fanfan wants to hold your hand."

Shen Nian smiled at Gu Zifan’s words. She obliged, taking his hand, and walked toward the school gate with him and Gu Hengzhi.

The oblivious Shen Nian, as a result, had completely forgotten about the principal and his entourage.

Ordinarily, if the principal himself had been so blatantly ignored by a student, he certainly wouldn’t have been pleased.

But things were different now. The student who had ignored him was being led away by Young Master Gu. Besides, it seemed she genuinely hadn’t seen them, so he couldn’t really blame her.

In fact, not only could they not blame her, but they also needed to find out exactly who this student was and what her relationship with Young Master Gu entailed.

Of course, the principal didn’t need to investigate this himself. After giving a meaningful look to the person behind him, he left.

After all, Young Master Gu was gone, so there was no reason for him, the principal, to remain.

When the surrounding crowd of students saw that the Gu brothers had left with Shen Nian, they too saw no reason to stick around and gradually began to disperse.

The few who remained were watching Gu Shuxin, whispering and pointing at her as they discussed the rumors she had spread.

"What are you looking at? Get lost!"

Gu Shuxin’s anger hadn’t yet dissipated. Hearing the crowd’s chatter only fueled her fury. She roared at the onlookers before storming into the dormitory area, heading straight back to Room 405 and slamming the door.

The people she left behind were stunned by her behavior.

"That’s not how the campus belle used to be! It’s only been a few days, how could she change so much?"

"Isn’t it obvious? The whole gentle and charming, elegant and graceful act was all for show! Now that what she did has been exposed, her true colors are showing!"

There were plenty of people in the crowd who had been jealous of Gu Shuxin ever since she was named campus belle. The jealousy was even more widespread after they learned she’d won the title because of her background and connections.

Now, seeing her reputation in tatters, these were the people who were the most smug and excited.

"Let’s go, let’s go. The show’s over. Anyway, today was a real eye-opener for me! At least I’ll have something to talk about when I get back."

As the crowd dispersed, Qi Yunzhi and Wang Chunhua, who had gotten the news a little late, finally returned.

The moment they got back to the dorm, they started shouting.

"What’s going on? What happened? Where’s Xiao Nian?"

After scanning the room and not seeing Shen Nian, the two could only turn their gazes to Chu Lingxiu.

"Xiao Nian went out. You can ask her when she gets back! So, was it a huge scene out there?"

"We were too late, everyone was gone! Lingxiu, you have to tell us what happened!"

"Alright, alright, stop shaking me! I’ll talk, okay? I’ll tell you!"

Hearing Chu Lingxiu agree, Qi Yunzhi and Wang Chunhua were finally satisfied. They pulled up stools, sat down in front of Chu Lingxiu, and looked at her, waiting to hear the story.

「Meanwhile」 Shen Nian and the Gu brothers had already left the campus, found a coffee shop, and settled into a private booth.

"Xiao Nian, I came here today..."

"I know."
