Wen Shouyi saw Gu Nianzhi, and instantly knehy He Zhichu had suddenly decided he “did not feel like attending” the

She suppressed the uneasiness within her, and shook her head to clear it She gestured to Dou Aiyan “Wait here, I’ll be back in a minute”

Dou Aiyan and her two friends stopped in their tracks Unable to hide their curiosity, they watched Wen Shouyi walk over to Gu Nianzhi

“Nianzhi? Are you looking for Professor He?” Wen Shouyi stopped before Gu Nianzhi, a friendly smile on her face

Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Wen Shouyi, entirely unfazed She returned the smile “hello, Miss Wen Yes, I’m here for Professor He”

Dou Aiyan and her friends were standing close enough to hear what Gu Nianzhi had just said

Dou Aiyan suddenly felt as though a swaret the loud buzzing out of her ears Gu Nianzhi was here for Professor He? That couldn’t be right All at once, her resented to the forefront of her uardian, had ignored her sister and caused her to get into so nored her at the school gate Her anger at the two of them threatened to overwhelether She casually walked over to Wen Shouyi; by the time she reached her, she had already plastered a fake smile on her face She cheerfully slid a hand around Wen Shouyi’s arm as she looked Gu Nianzhi over “I bet you remember who I am now”

Gu Nianzhi arched an eyebrow She wondered what connection Dou Aiyan had with Wen Shouyi

Gu Nianzhi was still keenly aware of the fact that Wen Shouyi had saved her life; she had vowed to try her best to be courteous and polite before Wen Shouyi ever since Instead of lashi+ng back at Dou Aiyan, Gu Nianzhi merely looked away and said indifferently: “I’m sorry, but I still don’t remember you”

“You don’t relance at Wen Shouyi out of the corner of her eye

She had expected to see a frown of disapproval on Professor Wen’s face, but was surprised to see a small s the body language of the people around her She grew even bolder now that she knew Professor Wen was on her side She crossed her arms, and snorted derisively at Gu Nianzhi “Drop the act Everyone knows about my sister and General Huo How can you not knoho I auard She had not expected Dou Aiyan to bring up her sister’s scandal just to force her to admit she kneho she was

If it had been Gu Nianzhi’s sister who had been involved in a si it up in front of a stranger In fact, if anyone had so much as breathed a word of it in conversation, she would ie the topic How desperate was Dou Aiyan, to resort to such shaated Wen Shouyi and He Zhichu for the Special Ops during the investigation into Dou Qingyan’s crimes

It did seem a bit of a stretch for Gu Nianzhi to pretend not to know Dou Aiyan

Gu Nianzhi hesitated

If she were entirely honest, Gu Nianzhi had only pretended not to recognize her because she did not like Dou Qingyan’s arrogant way of speaking to her

Dou Aiyan saw Gu Nianzhi’s hesitation, and assurown ti! Adh to stoke Gu Nianzhi’s rebellious spirit She smiled pleasantly as she said, “Who’s your sister? I don’t keep tabs on the women around Huo Shao, so I don’t know your sister”

Gu Nianzhi’swas clear: I don’t know your supposedly “famous” sister, so why on earth would I know a nobody like you?

“You don’t know ” Dou Aiyan sneered as she flipped her hair “Whatever, you can keep on insisting you don’t recognize me, it’s not like I care, anyway Professor Wen, how about we go up to your room?”

Wen Shouyi nodded cheerfully She turned to Gu Nianzhi to ask: “Do you want to come with us?”

Gu Nianzhi was about to shake her head when Dou Aiyan, as feeling resentful, spoke up: “What business do you have with Professor He? If you’re looking to transfer to this university, you should be talking to the people in the adet General Huo to speak on your behalf, no one’s going to listen to you…”

She was convinced that Gu Nianzhi was looking for Professor He for the exact saratiate herself with the two professors

But Dou Aiyan had not been able to get close to Professor He, only his assistant, Wen Shouyi Gu Nianzhi wasn’t even a student at the university, and her father was definitely not the Priuardian in naet close to He Zhichu
