“Moreover, I’ve never said that I’m Gu Shan’s disciple. It was the teachers in the university who said that Gu Shan admires my talent and wanted to guide me. I don’t know how this matter got out but the students all came to congratulate me on becoming Master Gu Shan’s disciple. I wanted to explain that I wasn’t, but they said that I was only being humble. I really didn’t have the chance to explain myself.”

Qiao Rou sniffed and said with tearful eyes, “If I had known earlier, I would’ve explained it to all the students. I would’ve explained it to them even if it took me a lot of effort and clarified that Master Gu Shan never accepted me as her disciple.”

Qiao Rou was making herself out to be a victim. The teachers in the university had mislabelled her as Gu Shan’s disciple. Later, the rumors were spread by the university’s students. She wanted to explain herself, but those people did not listen to her explanation, which led to the current situation.

“That’s right. Rou Rou is a victim in this incident.” Xu Mei sighed. “It’s just that Qiao Xi doesn’t think so. I’m afraid she has already distanced herself from us. Otherwise, why didn’t she even tell us that she’s Gu Shan? It’s fine if she didn’t tell us because she minded my and Rou Rou’s identities, but she even hid it from Zhenguo…”

She was not even treating Qiao Zhenguo as her father by doing this!

Qiao Zhenguo’s expression instantly darkened. Xu Mei watched from the side and silently curled her lips. That b*tch, Qiao Xi, was an international designer. This had indeed exceeded Xu Mei’s expectations. She was afraid that Qiao Zhenguo would think that Qiao Xi’s identity was valuable and bring her back. If that happened, she would be infuriated.

Now, she had pointed out that Qiao Xi and Qiao Zhenguo were not on the same page. Even if Qiao Zhenguo wanted to bring Qiao Xi back, he had to seriously consider whether he was bringing back someone who could help him or an enemy.

Gu Moling’s brows that had just relaxed furrowed tightly again. “Aunt Mei’s words are very reasonable. The current Qiao Xi is no longer the Qiao Xi we knew before. She has changed too much.”

When Qiao Rou heard them discussing Qiao Xi, she could not help but bite her lip. “But Dad, Brother Moling, what’s most important now is to deal with the rumors outside. They’re saying that I’m scheming and vain, but it’s clearly not my fault. It was my sister who deliberately made me get mistaken… Of course, I don’t mean to blame my sister. I just think that things shouldn’t have gotten to this point. Why couldn’t we just have talked about it?”

Gu Moling caressed her comfortingly. “Rou Rou, don’t worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. It was all Qiao Xi’s doing. You’re so pure and kind-hearted. How could you have schemed against Qiao Xi?” After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qiao Zhenguo. “Uncle, we need to contact Black Tide as soon as possible. This matter can be easily resolved as long as we look for Black Tide.”

Qiao Rou was touched and leaned on Gu Moling’s shoulder. “Thank you, Brother Moling. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Gu Moling enjoyed the feeling of Qiao Rou relying on him. However, he did not see Qiao Rou and Xu Mei silently looking at each other. Get Black Tide’s help? They had not forgotten the price they paid to get Black Tide’s service last time.

Qiao Rou and Xu Mei thought of a good idea at the same time. Even without the Black Tide, they could still solve the problem in front of them. Did that b*tch Qiao Xi think that everything would be fine just because she was Gu Shan? They had plenty of ways to ruin her reputation!

…

The next day, Qiao Xi carried her bag and prepared to go to Li City University for classes. Her identity had been exposed, so she did not need to continue with online classes. The university had also contacted her and said that the students very much wanted her to teach the classes in person.

Qiao Xi could not refuse and reported to the university on time.

Gu Zheng knew that Qiao Xi was leaving and waved at the chauffeur to get him to send her safely to university.

“Young Madam, we’re here.”

The chauffeur, Old Wang, parked the car in front of Li City University. Qiao Xi nodded to express her gratitude. When she got out of the car, she noticed that there was a flash of light behind the big tree opposite her.

Half an hour later, an anonymous thread appeared on Li City University’s official forum.

[Shocking! A certain fashion designer is being kept by an old man as his mistress! This kind of person is not worthy of being a university teacher!]

The photo below showed Qiao Xi getting out of a luxury car. The driver was an old man. That car was not something that could be bought with just money alone. The driver was too far away to see his face clearly, but one could see that there were silver strands in his hair. He was probably in his 40s or 50s. The suit he was wearing was customized by a big brand. It was very expensive, and ordinary people could not afford it.

Within a few minutes, there were more than 100 comments.

[Huh? Isn’t this Master Gu Shan? With such an awesome identity, why would she be someone’s mistress?]

[Designers are humans too. To maintain style and quality, Master Gu Shan produces very few designs a year. If you think about it, it’s not impossible that she’s lacking money.]

[This old man is ugly and unsophisticated. His only advantage is that he’s rich, but he’s not the only rich person around. Master Gu Shan, you don’t have to lower yourself to be with him, right?]

[Maybe Master Gu Shan has an odd taste in men, hahaha.]
