Chapter 134 - Who Is This Goddess Gu?
Reading the headlines, Zhu Jian was so mad that he almost couldn’t breathe normally. His cold sight fell on Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao was trembling in fear. So was Wang Chengqi.
Only Gu Ning and Chu Peihan weren’t affected.
If what had happened was true, Gu Xiaoxiao would be in big trouble. To figure out what exactly had happened, Zhu Jian clicked the videos open to watch them according to the timeline.
He was shocked to see that Gu Ning, a girl alone, beat down five grown-up men.
Before Zhu Jian could finish all the videos, the head teachers of the second and fourth classrooms were already there, but they didn’t interrupt Zhu Jian.
The head teacher of the second classroom was a man in his early thirties. His name was Jiang Yuan. He had no idea about the videos, so didn’t know the details. He only knew that Chu Peihan had slapped Gu Xiaoxiao. However, Jiang Yuan didn’t know what to do with Chu Peihan’s hobby of fighting with other students either. Chu Peihan wouldn’t change unless she wanted to.
Other than the principal and Zhu Jian, Jiang Yuan also knew about Chu Peihan’s background in their school. The principal had told Jiang Yuan not to annoy Chu Peihan, and to ignore all her repeated absences from classes.
Although Jiang Yuan was unhappy in the beginning, especially because Chu Peihan loved to be late and absent, he got to know her character gradually. Chu Peihan was the kind of student who wouldn’t get in fights unless others irritated her.
In addition, Chu Peihan was always one of the top 50 in her grade, and one of the top 10 in her class. Therefore, Jiang Yuan didn’t have much prejudice towards her, but he still had no idea how to handle such a troublesome student.
After Jiang Yuan arrived, he glared at Chu Peihan. The latter shrugged, like she didn’t care about it at all.
Zhang Qiuhua knew some of the details. She looked to Gu Ning with doubts. Gu Ning immediately wore an innocent face. Zhang Qiuhua basically believed that it wasn’t Gu Ning’s fault.
While Zhu Jian was watching the video in which Lin Yuehao betrayed Gu Xiaoxiao, he was more than annoyed.
Jiang Yuan also heard the talk from the video. Now, he finally understood what had happened, and rounded his eyes in shock. If it was true, Gu Xiaoxiao was such an evil person.
Jiang Yuan was aware that Chu Peihan and Gu Ning were close. Accordingly, Chu Peihan must have beaten Gu Xiaoxiao for Gu Ning.
He was now reluctant to blame Chu Peihan. Although she shouldn’t have beaten Gu Xiaoxiao, what Gu Xiaoxiao had done was too immoral and illegal even.
Zhu Jian hit the table with his hand loudly all of a sudden. Everyone was surprised.
“Gu Xiaoxiao, is what that man said true?” Zhu Jian glared at Gu Xiaoxiao, questioning her with seriousness.
“No, it’s not. It’s not true,” Gu Xiaoxiao was horrified now, but still refused to admit it, but she was too young to lie well.
“Gu Xiaoxiao, don’t think you’ll be fine just by denying it. The man is our witness,” Chu Peihan mocked.
“I…” Gu Xiaoxiao panicked and didn’t know what to say.
“Tell me, why did you do it?” Zhu Jian questioned.
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, remaining quiet.
Since Gu Xiaoxiao refused to tell the truth, Zhu Jian could only turned to the victim. He asked, “Who is this goddess Gu?”
Hearing that, Gu Ning felt a little embarrassed. She walked ahead. “It’s me. I’m Gu Ning from the fourth classroom in the 12th grade.”
Zhu Jian was astonished to know that. “Gu Ning? Are you the Gu Ning who is the top one in this monthly test?”
“Yes,” Gu Ning answered.
Gu Ning was suddenly famous these days. As the leader of the Academic Affairs Office, Zhu Jian had naturally heard of her.
However, it wasn’t the right time to talk about that now. Zhu Jian then asked, “Gu Ning, do you have a grudge with Gu Xiaoxiao?”
“Like the man said, I’ve slapped Gu Xiaoxia, but I did it for a reason. Gu Xiaoxiao has humiliated me and my mother continuously. It’s an open secret now. All the students in the first, second, third and fourth classrooms know about it,” Gu Ning explained with honesty.
Since Gu Ning said so, Zhu Jian was likely to believe her.
Gu Xiaoxiao had humiliated Gu Ning and Gu Ning’s mother first, so it wasn’t a big deal that Gu Ning had slapped Gu Xiaoxiao.
However, if Gu Xiaoxiao turned to the Qing Gang for help to ruin Gu Ning just because of that, Gu Xiaoxiao was the one to blame.
“How do you know that the man was telling the truth?” Zhu Jian asked Gu Ning. He wasn’t protecting Gu Xiaoxiao, but he wanted to have solid proof.
“Because the man who betrayed Gu Xiaoxiao is her cousin. If it doesn’t prove anything, I can only turn to the police for help,” Gu Ning replied.
“No…” The minute Gu Xiaoxiao heard the words “the police”, she got nervous.
Now, there was no need to argue any further. Gu Xiaoxiao’s reaction explained everything. If she hadn’t done it, she wouldn’t be so terrified to see the police.
However, Gu Xiaoxiao still refused to admit, or apologize. She threatened instead, “Gu Ning, if you dare to call the police, my dad will never let you get away with it!”
“Enough!” Zhu Jian shouted at her in anger, “Gu Xiaoxiao, you haven’t shown any sign of regret after you’ve done such a horrible thing. Now you even threaten the victim. How shameless are you!?”
Not only Zhu Jian, but the other three teachers also felt greatly disappointed and angry at Gu Xiaoxiao’s behavior.
Gu Xiaoxiao was very academic. She was one of the top 40 in her grade, and was very likely to get into a prestigious school. She could be an honor of her high school, but her character was so terrible.
“Professor Wang, please call Gu Xiaoxiao’s parents and tell them to take her back home. Our school can’t allow her to study here any longer,” Zhu Jian ordered. He was going to expel Gu Xiaoxiao.
“No, please, I…” Gu Xiaoxiao was considerably anxious. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t willing to admit what she had done.
“Yes, sir,” Wang Chengqi didn’t dare to disobey Zhu Jian’s order. He also didn’t want to protect a criminal against his principles. Besides, if Gu Ning called the police, Gu Xiaoxiao could end up in jail, or have a criminal history.
The school’s reputation would be affected if she stayed.
“Gu Ning, say something for me! Aren’t you fine now?” Gu Xiaoxiao yelled at Gu Ning. She still had no intention to apologize.
