Chapter 212 - 213: Kim Fei\'er is Dismissed
Gu Qichen didn’t go in. He stood at the door for a while, then turned and left.
Xia Yangyang went straight to school from the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at school, she heard a few girls discussing something. “Did you guys hear? Kim Fei’er has been expelled from the school.” “Seriously? But Kim Fei’er is the mayor’s daughter. She has always flaunted her power in school and stirred up quite a bit of trouble. The principal has always turned a blind eye. How could she be expelled?”
“I’m dead serious, we don’t know who she offended, but she’s definitely expelled.”
“That’s a big piece of good news. The number one mean girl in school was expelled, I guess the rest must chill out too.”
Yet, Xia Yangyang was somewhat puzzled.
Kim Fei’er got expelled?
Why?
While they were having lunch, Xia Yangyang mentioned this to Wen Xiaochu. Wen Xiaochu said: “Could it be your Uncle Gu’s doing? By the way, there’s something you should know. The stage collapse at the school festival might not be an accident. Someone corroded the scaffold’s materials with sulfuric acid; that’s why it collapsed.”
Xia Yangyang was startled: “Who would be so cruel?”
If someone were really hit by that iron scaffold, they would certainly be dead. If it was done intentionally, that would simply be murder.
Wen Xiaochu speculated: “I heard that the corrosive compound was put in a remote control switch, which could control the timing of the collapse. The scaffold happened to collapse when you were lying on the stage indicating that you were the target. Who in this school hates you so much and is cruel enough to do this?”
“Kim Fei’er?” Xia Yangyang couldn’t believe it.
She did have various conflicts with Kim Fei’er, but Xia Yangyang couldn’t believe that Kim Fei’er would actually want to kill her.
Wen Xiaochu continued: “So, it’s a good thing that Kim Fei’er got expelled. She’s always harbored grudges against you, plus she lost the bet to you previously. Thank goodness she got expelled, otherwise who knows what she might do next.”
Xia Yangyang was still in a daze.
“So I think, the incident of Kim Fei’er’s expulsion must be related to your Master Gu. A wicked woman who schemed against his wife and inadvertently hurt his nephew, Mr. Gu, a man of his stature, would not condone such behavior.”
Hearing Wen Xiaochu’s argument, Xia Yangyang became more worried about the situation.
She wanted to discuss this with Gu Qichen when she got home.
But unexpectedly, Gu Qichen had left on a business trip to Japan again for the next few days.
The day he returned coincided with Gu Zhaohan’s discharge from the hospital.
Gu Zhaohan was discharged in the afternoon and went home for dinner in the evening.
Actually, everyone in the family knew about it.
The patriarch was half dead with worry, and Gu Mingzhu had returned early from Paris.
Fortunately, Gu Zhaohan was recovering well.
He could already walk on his own.
This time, Gu Qichen was away on a business trip for a week.
He seldom left for such long periods in the past.
Xia Yangyang was counting the days with her fingers.
Eventually, she couldn’t resist asking Gu Qichen’s secretary about his return schedule.
The day Gu Qichen returned, Xia Yangyang went to the airport early to wait for him.
His flight was delayed.
Gu Qichen didn’t arrive until the evening.
Seeing him, Xia Yangyang rushed over with a big smile on her face and gave him a bear hug.
Gu Qichen seemed a bit surprised: “What are you doing here?”
“I asked Secretary Fang about your schedule. I wanted to surprise you.”
Gu Qichen said coldly: “Okay, let’s be proper. We are in public. Let’s go home first.”
Xia Yangyang froze.
Why had Gu Qichen suddenly become so cold?
In the past, when she came to pick him up from his business trips, he would always be happy to see her.
After walking a few steps, Gu Qichen noticed Xia Yangyang still standing there. He turned around and asked, “Aren’t you coming?”
Xia Yangyang merely responded with an “Oh,” and hurriedly caught up to him.
Maybe he’s just too tired, Xia Yangyang thought..
