Chapter 323: Apology
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao originally did not intend to pay any more attention to Zhao Yuan. It was enough to teach her a lesson. After all, Zhao Yuan’s little tricks were really not worthy enough of her notice.
When she was in the palace, all the things she had encountered were more serious than these verbal insults. In fact, the slightest carelessness could even cost someone’s life.
In addition, she saw that Zhao Yuan was still young and thought that as long as Zhao Yuan could behave herself, it would be fine.
But from the looks of it, her tolerance made Zhao Yuan push her luck.
Gu Xiao closed the book with a bang and casually placed it on the desk at the side before looking up at Zhao Yuan.
The moment she met Gu Xiao’s gaze, Zhao Yuan could not help but take a few steps back again. Gu Xiao’s gaze was really too terrifying.
Gu Xiao was clearly sitting and she was standing, but she felt that she was a few heads shorter than Gu Xiao. She even wanted to hide herself.
“Do I have to announce to the world whose girlfriend I am?” Gu Xiao sneered. “If I’m not Second Young Master Chu’s girlfriend, wouldn’t I be bullied by you for nothing and have to endure your harassment?”
“Then, then you can just tell me your identity directly. I-1 won’t bully you anymore, right?” Zhao Yuan saw that Gu Xiao’s attitude had become tough and was afraid. She said intermittently, “P-Plus, I didn’t really bully you. Instead, you kept bullying me. Can’t we just let this matter go?”
“Let it go? Now that you’ve found out that you’ve kicked an iron plate, you want things to be let go just like that?”
There was a hint of playfulness in Gu Xiao’s eyes, but anyone could tell that Gu Xiao was not as agreeable as usual.
Even Jiang Meng and Wei Shu shrunk their heads and sat in their seats, afraid that they would be implicated.
“Then, then what else do you want?” Zhao Yuan mustered her courage, but the guilt in her tone could not be hidden.
“Stay away from me after your apology.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean that as long as I apologize, you can get the Chu Corporation to cooperate with our Creation Technology?”
Gu Xiao only smiled and did not say much.
But it was obvious that Zhao Yuan had misunderstood Gu Xiao’s meaning.
Although she was arrogant and did not like to apologize to others, when she thought of Mr Zhao’s threat just now, Zhao Yuan did not dare to continue going against Gu Xiao.
She bowed deeply to Gu Xiao. “I’m sorry!”
After saying that, she did not care about Gu Xiao’s reaction. She stood up and ran out of the dormitory, completely ignoring the fact that it was already night.
Gu Xiao stared at Zhao Yuan’s back as she left, and a trace of mockery flashed across her eyes.
After Zhao Yuan left and the dormitory door was closed again, Jiang Meng turned to look at Gu Xiao.
“Xiaoxiao, are you going to forgive Zhao Yuan just like that? Aren’t you treating Zhao Yuan too lightly?”
Wei Shu, who was at the side, also nodded repeatedly. “That’s right! That’s right! Xiaoxiao, letting Zhao Yuan off like this is too light on her!”
Even though they were just bystanders, they were still angry, let alone Gu Xiao. They felt that indignation on behalf of Gu Xiao!
After Zhao Yuan left, Gu Xiao’s expression softened a little. She glanced at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, who were sincerely worried for her, and chuckled.
“What else can I do? Tie Zhao Yuan up and beat her up, or verbally humiliate her like she did?”
As soon as she said this, Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s angry expressions froze. They immediately understood what Gu Xiao meant.
If she really tied Zhao Yuan up and beat her up, not to mention whether it would be a punishment if it was known by the school, if she really hit Zhao Yuan, Gu Xiao would become the unreasonable one in this matter.
As for insulting Zhao Yuan… If she really did that, what was the difference between Gu Xiao and Zhao Yuan?
As for the rest… could there be a better way to teach Zhao Yuan a lesson?
There were some methods that could be done, but they could not be used. Other than apologizing, there seemed to be no other way.
The more they thought about it, the more Jiang Meng and Wei Shu felt as if their hearts were stifled. They could not vent their anger, nor could they swallow it. It was really uncomfortable to be in such a conflicted state.
Jiang Meng lowered her eyes. Her chubby cheeks were puffed up with anger.
“Are you really going to let Zhao Yuan off so easily?”
The moment she thought of Zhao Yuan’s arrogance in the dormitory, the anger in Jiang Meng’s chest became even more unbearable..
