Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Are You Misunderstanding Yourself?
When Xing Gu arrived, Chi Guizheng was sitting on the sofa, studying a human anatomy model with a scalpel in hand.
Little Guai stood not far from her, grooming herself.
The ordinary room instantly filled with a high-end sense of technology because of this scene.
As Xing Gu entered, she instinctively lightened her steps and lowered her voice, fearing she might disturb the moment,
“Professor Chi, Old Sir Shen sent me to tell you that regarding Qin Cheng’s investigation of you, he has joined forces with Old Sir Fu and created a false trail. It will definitely deceive Mr. Fu, so please be assured.”
She paused with the scalpel in hand, slowly looked up somewhat puzzled, “Why would we want to deceive him?” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⟡fire.net
Xing Gu was taken aback by the question, “Hasn’t he failed to recognize you for so long? Aren’t you deliberately hiding your identity to prevent him from recognizing you?”
Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brows, “I’ve never hidden anything.”
Xing Gu was dumbfounded.
He had never paid attention before, but now that Chi Gui mentioned it, he suddenly realized.
Indeed… whether with Mr. Fu or at school, Professor Chi had never lied…
It was just disbelief on the part of others.
Not only disbelief, but they even tried to make up explanations for Professor Chi with their own imagination…
After coming to this realization, Xing Gu couldn’t help but sigh internally.
Sometimes, overthinking really wasn’t good.
Chi Guizheng thought it would be better to clear up this misunderstanding with Old Sir Shen and the others.
She opened WeChat, entered a group chat, and found Old Sir Shen and Old Sir Fu’s WeChat profiles to send them an explanation.
Old Sir Shen immediately replied with a chuckle, saying there’s no need to mind and expressed concern for her injuries.
Old Sir Fu took a while to reply, with a simple and brisk message—
“Don’t worry about it; that brat has never been interested in you. Suddenly investigating , he’s definitely up to no good. You can rest assured, I will keep you well-hidden, so he doesn’t disturb you!”
Chi Gui read Old Sir Fu’s reply, laughed lightly, and didn’t bother to explain any further.
She originally didn’t want to have much to do with Fu Si, so there was no need for excessive explanations.
After replying to Chi Gui, Old Sir Fu sighed and said to the butler, “Tell me, why doesn’t that brat like Chi Gui, such a good child?”
—Completely unaware that he was the one thwarting his precious grandson’s chances at love.
After reporting to Fu Si, Qin Cheng suddenly remembered something else, “By the way, Young Master Fu, Mr. Li is hosting a banquet tonight and has sent you an invitation.”
Mr. Li’s family had a large business empire, and although their roots were in Nancheng, he had expanded and flourished in Capital City in his younger days. At his peak, he even had connections with people like Old Sir Fu.
Although his glory days had passed, his contact with Old Sir Fu and others hadn’t been entirely severed.
Fu Si had just arrived in Nancheng, and Mr. Li was aware of this. The banquet he held was the first to invite Fu Si.
However, Fu Si had never before attended such inconsequential banquets, so Qin Cheng had only just remembered to mention it.
He simply reported it in passing, not believing for a second that Fu Si would attend.
After speaking, he prepared to attend to other matters.
Unexpectedly, Fu Si extended his hand, “The invitation?”
He was incredulous, “You’re going?”
Fu Si raised an eyebrow, languidly responding, “The elder personally invited me, and I am going to refuse? Am I such an impolite person?”
He silently swallowed the words, “Aren’t you misunderstanding yourself a bit?” and quietly handed over the invitation.
Fu Sixiu’s long fingers took the invitation, tapped it against his palm, seemingly struck by a thought; he pulled out his phone, opened WeChat, and tagged everyone in a group: “Attending a banquet with my girlfriend, what kind of couple outfit is the most eye-catching?”
