77 Being Kicked
Gu Rou’s righteous look made it seem like Gu Man had already done something shameful.
“What did I do? Gu Rou, you’d better put away your dirty thoughts and get out immediately.” Gu Man’s voice was so deep that it was dripping.
“Gu Man, I won’t abandon you no matter what you say now. You said that this is a teacher. What teacher is he?”
As soon as Gu Rou finished speaking, Zhong Kai said to her leisurely, “If I say that I’m a teacher at Zhong Chu University, can you believe me?”
Zhong Kai initially thought that it was someone Gu Man knew who had barged in with some other misunderstanding. When he heard this, he realized that they thought he was a rich big shot in society who had come to trick Gu Man into eating.
This gave Zhong Kai a blow. He thought that he looked elegant and peaceful and he did not look like that kind of person, right?
Gu Rou looked at him suspiciously and said sarcastically, “A teacher from Zhong Chu University? How could Gu Man have the chance to come into contact with a teacher from Zhong Chu University? You men think that Gu Man just came back from the countryside and can’t tell the difference, so you want to lie to her.”
When Gu Man heard that Teacher Zhong Kai had been misunderstood, she was anxious and couldn’t help but scold, “Gu Rou, don’t go crazy and accuse people. If you don’t get out, I won’t be polite.”
“Gu Man, listen to me. I’m your sister. I won’t harm you. I have to understand this before I can be at ease.”
“Gu Man, sit down and let her understand this.” Zhong Kai gestured for Gu Man to sit down and turned to ask Gu Rou, “Miss, of course you can ask, but if the truth is not as you say, what will you do?”
Gu Rou thought that there were no other possibilities.
Hence, she raised her head slightly. “Gu Man doesn’t have any friends in Han City. She must have been tricked by you to come here to eat. As her elder sister, it’s only right for me to protect her.”
Zhong Kai put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair. He asked mockingly, “Oh? When you say you’re defending her, you mean you’re breaking in and slandering her indiscriminately?”
“Whether it’s slander or not is not up to you to decide!” Gu Rou said calmly, as if she had the final say.
“If what he says doesn’t count, does what I say count?” A deep but angry voice suddenly interrupted.
Gu Rou took a look and saw that it was Teacher Zhuang Yan.
Gu Rou saw that it was this Teacher Zhuang again. The last time she was in school, she had been protecting Gu Man. This time, she was here again. She could not help but feel angry.
Gu Rou nodded at Zhuang Yan, but her voice was firm. “That depends on what Teacher Zhuang Yan says.”
Zhuang Yan had just gone out for a few minutes when she returned and saw this troublesome matter. Her good mood was instantly ruined.
She said in a low voice, “Gu Rou, I didn’t expect that the two teachers in front of you couldn’t get rid of your dirty thoughts.”
“Teacher Zhuang, I respect you as a teacher of Han City First High School, but you know Gu Man’s results. It’s impossible for her to go to Zhong Chu University to study. Now, there’s a teacher from Zhong Chu University eating with her. Do you think I can believe it? Could it be that Teacher Zhuang helped this gentleman?”
After hearing Gu Rou’s a.n.a.lysis, Zhuang Yan was impressed. Her logic was really genius.
Zhuang Yan laughed angrily. “So, you think that I, a teacher from Han City First High, will help the men outside lie to Gu Man?”
“I didn’t say that. As for what the truth is, Teacher Zhuang knows better than me.”
Gu Rou kicked the ball back to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan thought to herself: No wonder I was unhappy whenever I see Gu Rou. So there was a reason. Look at what she’s saying, she’s so sly.
Zhuang Yan sat down. She seemed to have lost her temper from anger. She said, “Alright, then are you going to prove that this gentleman is a teacher at Zhong Chu University?”
“I really need to know who this gentleman is before I can rest a.s.sured about Gu Man.”
Gu Man sneered. “Are you in a hurry to care about me, or are you in a hurry to see my scandal? I think you’d better not play the guzheng. Go act in a movie. I guarantee that you’ll win a world-cla.s.s best actress award.”
Zhong Kai laughed out loud. This Gu Man was really ruthless when she retorted.
He was just worried that Gu Man would suffer if she did not like to talk. It seemed that he was thinking too much.
“You guys eat. I’ll talk to her.” Zhong Kai gestured at the food on the table.
Seeing that Teacher Zhong Kai was not embarra.s.sed or angry, Gu Man felt slightly relieved.
