Chapter 1093 - 1095: Worryingly Low IQ
Xu Huijuan has really been quite anxious these past few days.
Why was there no follow-up after that commotion Zhao Xuran made when he visited the other day?
Even though she didn’t apologize like he demanded, she hasn’t seen Zhao Xuran show up, which made Xu Huijuan feel all kinds of strange.
Why can Zhao Xuran be so quiet, and why isn’t Gong Ruini causing a fuss?
No, it’s not that they aren’t making a fuss; they’re resolving things internally.
Right now, Xu Huijuan really regrets that her family lives so far from Zhao Xuran’s. Otherwise, they could come and go together every day.
Xu Huijuan doesn’t believe that with her family’s status and her looks, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t be moved.
Just like Zhao Xuran said, it was because she came too late, not because she didn’t handle everything well.
Xu Huijuan was at home thinking about how to find a chance to meet Zhao Xuran; otherwise, how would she explain this misunderstanding?
As long as Zhao Xuran has a negative view of her, she can only watch these bad reputations stick to her.
"Sister, Xuran has gone out."
Ah, hearing her sister-in-law’s words, Xu Huijuan stood up abruptly, "How did he just leave?"
"Where did he go?"
"What’s with all this, doesn’t he consider things?" Even though it’s summer vacation now, even though he has graduated, shouldn’t he be settling this matter quickly?
Xu Huijuan’s sister-in-law didn’t know much, and seeing that Xu Huijuan didn’t even ask if she was tired, thirsty, or hungry made her very uncomfortable.
If it weren’t for the thought that this sister-in-law might end up with Zhao Xuran, she really wouldn’t want to serve this one.
She was clearly such a sensible girl before; how can she be so thoughtless now, truly incomprehensible.
Or perhaps this is Xu Huijuan’s true nature, and as for why she didn’t show it before, she must have disguised it well, but life’s too many disappointments now soured her mood.
"Ah, I need some quiet." Hmph, she said she knew a lot of news and would definitely be able to find out, but listen to her answers just now.
She couldn’t even respond to these simple questions; truly clueless about how to gather information.
Xu Huijuan felt that it was a bother, but even if tired, she had to go out and gather news.
Seeing her getting ready to put on shoes, clearly wanting to go out, her sister-in-law immediately stopped her.
No matter how the family tried to clear its name, those claiming to have been present the entire time had already begun leaking information one after another.
If this matter blows up, Xu Huijuan really won’t be at an advantage; what they need now is to quickly find those two and discuss before going public.
Seeing how they were pulling on her clothes and not letting her go, Xu Huijuan felt a fire raging in her heart.
That gaze really resembled Gong Ruini’s too much, which made her feel all kinds of frustrated; the reason she left the student union was because of Gong Ruini’s machinations, that kind of look she could never forget in this lifetime.
Her sister-in-law didn’t want to deal with this sister-in-law anymore, but she could call the elders.
As soon as Xu Huijuan’s father received the news, he rushed over.
Without thinking, he just wanted to harshly teach her a lesson, letting her know she can’t go out as she pleases.
"You better behave." Although they were the ones who spread the rumors initially, it was within their control.
But the situation now has developed to a point where they can’t control it, which makes everyone in the Xu family panic.
They couldn’t help but think of the Wei family of yore; back then the Wei family was more glorious than theirs, but what happened eventually.
The Wei family had gotten into trouble by going against the Wan family, with Cai Ming as the head, who is Gong Ruini’s uncle.
"I remember that the Wei boy was interested in Zhao Xuran back then." Someone suddenly brought this up.
"Yes, yes, the Wei boy said Zhao Xuran had potential, wanting him to marry a girl from the Wei family."
Though it’s been a long time since the Wei family’s troubles, the glory they had was still remembered by many.
"And then, not long after, the Wei family had their incident."
They hadn’t reminisced enough about the Wei family’s glorious days before suddenly recalling this and giving a shiver.
Although the Wei boy fled quickly, he hasn’t emerged all these years, plus he’s made more enemies, who knows what’ll happen.
Ugh, why think about the Wei family, what they should focus on now is what to do about their own situation.
"There won’t be a problem, will there?"
"What can happen? What did we say?"
"We didn’t explicitly say Zhao Xuran had to be with our child." Even though the situation had escalated to this point, they still needed a graceful way out.
"Go withdraw those rumors, no more spreading them." If the rumors keep circulating, this won’t get resolved.
Withdraw the rumors? No, can’t withdraw them; if they do, she and Zhao Xuran would become complete strangers.
No, even less than strangers; at least Zhao Xuran would smile at strangers, but towards her, only hate.
"Withdraw them." The head of the Xu family was also secretly regretting, wondering how he ever thought public opinion could force Zhao Xuran onto their chosen path.
"No way." Xu Huijuan refused, grabbing her grandpa, "Grandpa, hold on a little longer."
"I know Gong Ruini, she’s definitely prideful, she has many suitors, she’ll find someone better."
Though the Xu family head maintained good health for his age, being hugged like this made him almost lose his breath.
Eventually, her uncle realized something was wrong and signaled for his sons and nephews to take her away.
Her uncle really never imagined that this eternally obedient and well-behaved niece could turn into such a person.
Though he always doted on her, was she better than his son? Better than his grandson?
Her uncle couldn’t help but remember his son’s words again, realizing he needed to carefully consider how to handle this matter.
Xu Huijuan cried and yelled all the way, hoping they wouldn’t drag her away, but the only response she got was to stay quietly in her room and read.
"Let me out, let me out." Xu Huijuan cried out loudly, but the only answer was the sound of the door being locked from the outside.
Since Zhao Xuran left early, Gong Ruini had been wondering what the Xu family would do, but after waiting and waiting, there was no movement at all.
What was even stranger, "You said the Xu family is actually trying to take back those rumors from outside?"
Gong Ruini really couldn’t understand what the Xu family was thinking, "The development of the situation is beyond their control."
This kind of scandal, or rather rumor, is something many people are eager to hear about, it’s already spread to every corner, could it possibly be taken back now?
This kind of intelligence truly makes one anxious for them.
"That’s why their promotions aren’t fast." Gong Ruwen used to think that the Xu family was maintaining a low profile to work solidly, not attracting attention, which slowed down their offspring’s promotions.
Now it seems it’s not that they didn’t want to manage it, but rather that this level of intelligence truly leaves one worried.
Without Xu Huijuan stirring trouble, Gong Ruini felt quite disappointed too, after all, so much drama had yet to be seen, how could it not be pleasing?
