The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 29: Rumors

Early in the morning on Monday, Gu Xiqiao checked the stocks he had bought, which grew quite a lot. He has enough money for now, so he sells his short-term stocks, and focuses on long-term stocks.

There were actually some stocks with hefty potential, but they needed at least a few years to develop so he didn't buy them. He only buys shares that others do not dare to buy, because he knows the background of the stock.

Xiao Yun sat at his desk memorizing the poem as usual, and when the lunch break arrived, he went to the toilet for a while. When he returned, his expression became strange, and he switched between memorizing poetry, doing math exercises and reading an English-language newspaper the next moment.

It was clear that he could not focus on any task at hand.

Gu Xiqiao could not stand it anymore and looked at Xiao Yun with a sharp gaze. “If you want to say something, just say it. Don't grind on a chair like you have hemorrhoids! ”

Xiao Yun bounced around in his chair as if he was caught doing something bad.

“Hei ..” Xiao Yun shifted closer to Gu Xiqiao and whispered beside her ear. “You bastard?”

After seeing Gu Xiqiao's hand stop scrolling his phone, he immediately continued: “I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to know if this was true. Even if you really are an illegitimate daughter, it won't be a big deal. It's not your fault anyway, so I won't think anything bad about you, promise! ”

Gu Xiqiao took out some mathematical papers from his drawer calmly, his eyelashes covered in a veil, blocking anyone from seeing his emotions, and even his tone was calm. “It's true.”

After seeing his reaction, Xiao Yun had already guessed the answer to his question. He had seen illegitimate daughters before, but he had never seen one like Gu Xiqiao. He was outstanding in temperament, aura, and appearance, and this was before taking into account all his abilities. It was not strange to see her as a noblewoman who had been well educated since she was a child, but she was an illegitimate child? Who believes that?

Although he was confused, he did not ask any further after seeing Gu Xiqiao's reaction.

As they descended for lunch, many people whispered to each other and looked towards Gu Xiqiao.

The current schools were all like this, even a small part of the gossip could be known to the entire school in a single day and even amplified several times.

Xiao Yun glared at all of them coldly, and after those people threw their faces away awkwardly, he looked back at Gu Xiqiao. “Why don't we go eat in a small cafeteria?”

The little canteen is the most expensive in First City High School with the best food, and most are only visited by children from the upper society. Fewer teachers and students went there overall, which was why Xiao Yun suggested they eat there.

“Not needed.” Gu Xiqiao kept his phone in his pocket and grinned, his porcelain skin like snow in the sun. “We can't manage what others say, nor can we run away from them forever. It's okay, I'm brave enough to ignore everything. “

There were even more people in the school cafeteria, and when they got there Wu Hongwen was already there, had set aside two chairs and got food for them as well.

Xiao Yun pulled Gu Xiqiao and nodded at her. “Thank you.”

Gu Xiqiao did not refuse, and the three of them had lunch together again. As they ate, Gu Xiqiao's gaze became even more shameless, and their voices became even louder.

Xiao Yun treated Gu Xiqiao as a true friend and even adored her blindly for her skills, and after hearing everyone gossip and slander her like this, she could not help but get hot and angry. Looking at Wu Hongwen who was still eating quietly, he spoke, “Are you not angry at all?”

“Everyone said that Er Qiao 1 is an illegitimate daughter, why are you so calm?” Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. Didn't a person like Wu Hongwen hate girls the most illegitimately?

Wu Hongwen glanced at Gu Xiqiao who was still eating his lunch slowly and quietly, before speaking, “What's wrong with being an illegitimate child? After all it wasn't his fault, it was just his father's fault for cheating. “

Gu Xiqiao finished his vegetables and placed his chopsticks on his plate to wait for Xiao Yun, and as the two left, he turned his head and looked at Wu Hongwen.

When he turned his head, Wu Hongwen only saw the profile beside him, his smooth and flawless face and his clear eyes seemed to shine like pearls.

Wu Hongwen did not put down his chopsticks, and his hand stopped in midair, stunned by Gu Xiqiao. He gained a basic understanding of this girl after following her in school for a while.

He is a cold man. Although she did not look as cool and aloof as Xiao Yun and was instead warm and inviting, but her heart was guarded. This kind of person was difficult to approach, and Wu Hongwen had prepared to fight for the long term, but did he seem to have a chance?

Is it because of what he said?

After seeing the topic of gossip they left the canteen, the voices of the students chatting became louder.

Wu Hongwen furrowed his brows coldly, his gaze impatient and evil as he stood up and looked around. “Shut!”

The loud voice was suddenly cut off, but Wu Hongwen was still quite annoyed. As she said, what's wrong with being an illegitimate daughter? Was it his fault? This was a grudge from the previous generation, so why did everyone blame him? If he had a choice, who would choose to be an illegitimate child? She was at an age where she should have been treated with dignity by her family, but she was treated like a bully and was so cold that it was painful.

When Wu Hongwen brought his plate to the trash, he met Zhong Yongsi.

None of them looked attractive to each other.

Zhong Yongsi used to respect Wu Hongwen. They were both in Rocket Class, and one of them focused on art while the other focused on sports without neglecting their studies, so they are given better praise than the test robot who always occupies the first position in the exam. But, as soon as Wu Hongwen started following Gu Xiqiao, Zhong Yongsi did not speak to him anymore.

Wu Hongwen did not want to face this child grumpily, so he simply glanced at him indifferently before walking away, angering Zhong Yongsi.

After Zhong Yongsi put down his plate, he went to Gu Xijin who was waiting for him at the entrance of the canteen.

Upon seeing this, Wu Hongwen stopped in his steps, his brows furrowing again. If Gu Xiqiao was really an illegitimate princess, would she be related to Gu Xijin?

As soon as his brain started thinking about this, Wu Hongwen started thinking about many things. He suddenly recalled how Gu Xijin was the one who gave him the love letter in front of the entire class, and how he didn't take it back because he didn't care about these things. From then on, Gu Xiqiao became famous in the First City High School and was even talked about through broadcasts. Thankfully, class teacher Gu Xiqiao was so protective of his students that he didn't get any grades on his records, but still it caused him a lot of trouble.

Her impression of Gu Xijin was quite good as she was quite beautiful and had a good temperament. He didn't want to doubt it, but he gave him plenty of reasons to do so.

Wu Hongwen narrowed his eyes slightly and held the shoulder of a boy who was running towards him. “Check who started saying that Gu Xiqiao is an illegitimate daughter.”
