Chapter 99 - 95: Give a Loving Hug

It’s almost Old Sir Gu’s birthday. The Gu Family relatives are all coming to the Capital City these days. Qiao Yuxian also started wondering if Gu Yanjing would take her to the Gu Mansion for the birthday party. If he doesn’t take her, what reason could she find to make him take her there. The closer it got, the more worried Qiao Yuxian became. She was a bit distracted in class. Alright, being distracted in class was just because she stayed up late last night, got up too early this morning, and now couldn’t muster up the energy. "Xian, did you see the news online?" Zhao Meng poked her face, bringing her back to reality. They were in a public class, their whole dorm was there, and they all sat together. "What?" Qiao Yuxian looked at her. "Jiang Shouzhuo got arrested." Zhao Meng said in surprise. Qiao Yuxian came back to her senses, leaned closer to look at her phone. "I was wondering why we hadn’t seen him since the semester started, turns out something happened." It was after class time, and Zhou Yunbing also saw the news. "The news from the law school is that something happened at home, so he took a leave." Han Yangliu added. "Of course something happened." Zhou Yunbing said, "The Jiang Family had been sealed by the bank a couple of days ago. This big event was enough to shock the Capital City. Naturally, he had to take leave. But I didn’t expect it wasn’t just leave, he got arrested." "Who do you think took action against the Jiang Family?" Han Yangliu asked, "The Jiang Family has a name and status in the Capital City, how come it got sealed so quickly? The one who acted..." The three exchanged glances, none daring to continue. Qiao Yuxian looked at the news about Jiang Shouzhuo. Arrest approved on suspicion of rape. To protect the victim’s privacy, not much detail was disclosed. Apart from Jiang Shouzhuo, two others who often hung out with him were also arrested. What Qiao Yuxian found was very detailed, with strong evidence. Yuan Wei had been following up, and had contacted the victim’s family. The police’s review was quick, so the arrest warrant was issued promptly. "Look, someone leaked news." Zhou Yunbing said. Qiao Yuxian leaned on Zhao Meng’s shoulder, watching her look at the post on her phone. The post didn’t detail much, only saying Jiang Shouzhuo had been seen multiple times entering and leaving certain entertainment venues, having fun. It even revealed seeing Jiang Shouzhuo in some intense places abroad. "Oh my God! This guy is so disgusting." Zhao Meng said in disgust, "Physically castrate him and let him spend his life in jail." Qiao Yuxian, leaning against her shoulder, nodded in agreement. "What’s more disgusting is how he pretended to be some innocent senior at school." Zhou Yunbing said in disgust. "And in the law school, knowing the law and breaking it." Han Yangliu said, "Good thing he got caught, otherwise it’d be one more scourge to society." As they were angrily discussing, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly said from behind them, "Qiao Yuxian, you blew up the school forum again." Qiao Yuxian turned to look at her. Ji Xiaoxiao still had her exquisite makeup, pure and adorable. One hand lazily supported her temple, while the other hand held her phone, looking at her with downcast eyes. Zhao Meng and the other two immediately went to the school forum. "Why have I been seeing you so frequently this semester?" Qiao Yuxian said. "Who knows?" Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Don’t worry, my fiancé will pick me up in a bit, you won’t see me anymore." Qiao Yuxian: "......" Zhao Meng hooked her neck, turning her around to show her the news on the forum. Jiang Shouzhuo was arrested. She was inexplicably dragged into it. The school forum seemed to be divided into two factions. One side pitied her for being targeted by Jiang Shouzhuo, while the other side pitied her for being emotionally involved with Jiang Shouzhuo. There were even a few hints suggesting she was the victim. Qiao Yuxian looked expressionlessly, even speechlessly at Zhao Meng: "He’s locked up and I’m still not left alone. Do I look like a victim?" Zhao Meng hooked her neck, examined her carefully, then said, "You look more like a hero who could punch his head in." Qiao Yuxian laughed lightly. Zhou Yunbing on the side said, "Huh? What’s up with the forum? Why did it just pop out for me?" As she spoke, Zhao Meng looked down and found herself logged out too. The whole classroom, those watching the forum, were all talking about this. "Can’t get in anymore." Zhao Meng said in amazement, "Is it down?" Qiao Yuxian took her phone and refreshed it a few times, but couldn’t even bring up the page. It was indeed down, but... it was hacked down. Qiao Yuxian looked at her phone for a few seconds, handed it back to Zhao Meng, got up with her own phone, and said; "I’m going to the bathroom." "Need company?" Zhao Meng asked. "No need." She left the classroom, looking down at her phone as she turned left at the door, nearly bumping into someone outside. She instinctively staggered back a step, and the person opposite reached out to steady her, but she dodged. "Sorry." Qiao Yuxian looked up, and seeing the person’s appearance, she subtly hesitated for a moment. The person in front wore a loose, casual, soft suit, had a good physique, and was very tall. His brows overshadowed his eyes, handsome and charming, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Qiao Yuxian had only seen him in photos before; this was the first time she saw him in person. It was Gu Yicheng. Gu Yanjing’s cousin, and also Ji Xiaoxiao’s fiancé. Seeing her look, Gu Yicheng’s eyes flickered with a moment of interest, slightly raised an eyebrow, and said warmly, "It’s okay. You weren’t hurt, right?" Qiao Yuxian shook her head, sidestepped him, and planned to leave. Gu Yicheng suddenly asked, "Are you also majoring in English?" Qiao Yuxian looked at him. Gu Yicheng’s eyes continued tracing her features, looking at her as he added, "My name is Gu Yicheng, how should I address you?" Seeing his expression, Qiao Yuxian’s face remained unchanged, but her heart twisted sharply. Your fiancée is in there, and you’re asking someone else for their name. Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak, nodded politely, and left straight away. Gu Yicheng watched her back for a moment, slightly curled his lips, and thought: Such a beauty, how have I never seen her before? Interesting. He watched her for a while, then turned his gaze, noticing Ji Xiaoxiao standing at the door watching him. Gu Yicheng was startled but immediately smiled and said, "Did my darling come out because she knew I was here?" Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at him, then at Qiao Yuxian’s departing figure, and asked, "What were you looking at?" "Nothing. Just nearly bumped into that classmate earlier." Gu Yicheng put an arm around her shoulder, "Come on, Mrs. Gu. I’ll take you shopping, so you can dress beautifully for the family banquet." Ji Xiaoxiao laughed happily, "Then I want to shop for a while longer today, you keep me company." "Of course." Gu Yicheng said, "I’ll accompany you as long as you want." The two left chatting and laughing. Qiao Yuxian reached the end of the corridor and the bathroom. Turning into the bathroom, she glanced faintly at Gu Yicheng’s direction, her expression unclear. Inside the bathroom, she entered a stall. Standing by the toilet, she took out her phone and changed its system. She checked to see who hacked the school’s forum, and then... she traced it back to the Gu Group’s building, Qiao Yuxian: "......" The mighty Gu Group, during working hours, managed to take down the entire forum within minutes at Jing University. Did they set up a team specifically to monitor the Jing University forum? The system swapped back again. A smile unconsciously spread across Qiao Yuxian’s face. If they only hacked posts about her, it would be too obvious, so they simply took down the whole forum. She opened WeChat and sent Gu Yanjing a sticker. [Your little cutie gives you a hug of love.jpg]
