My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 256 - Big Punishment!



Chapter 256 – Big Punishment!

Two days later-

When Xu Nuan thought that the effect of that scandal would have reduced to some extent, she decided to attend the classes again. Because of this chaotic scandal, she can't stop taking classes forever. 

Although she doesn't want to be put in the spotlight, she can't avoid the situation either. 

When she entered the class, everyone was surprised to see her, and rather than looking at her in disgust like the last time, they all looked apologetic and felt bad for her. They all believed the anonymous post without confirming the facts and accused her of cheating. 

Xu Nuan didn't mind them and took her seat beside Ye Yijun (Aurora) like usual. He looked at her with concern but she shook her head, telling him to not think much about it. 

After the first lecture ended, the girl who confronted her the other day came to her. She looked at her with awkward expressions and said, " Ermm….You…why didn't you say anything that you didn't cheat in the exam the other day? I fought with you for no reason." 

" Because of you, everyone thinks I am the bad person here," she complained. After the second post was released, people were also talking about her and were calling her out for being too nosy for picking a fight for no reason. 

Xu Nuan stared at her and said, " You're not a bad person here. It was not your fault only. Everyone thought the same of me, it's just…you said it aloud, while others didn't." 

The other students pursed their lips and were embarrassed upon hearing her words. Many of them didn't say anything on her face, but everyone talked about her and blamed her. 

The girl was touched upon hearing her words and said with a smile, " You don't have to compensate me for the shoes anymore. Just consider it as compensation for the fight." 

" Oh, I was actually planning to do that already. It doesn't make sense for me to compensate you for the shoes when the truth is out and you're the one who accused me first when it wasn't true." Xu Nuan said. 

The girl's expressions became twister upon hearing her words. She thought that she would try to be humble and will offer to pay, but her response was rather surprising. 

Xu Nuan didn't stop here and continued,  " Along with that, I want you to post an official apology on the forum. You confronted me and humiliated me in public when you don't have the authority to do so."

" Shouldn't you apologize to me in front of everyone for ruining my reputation? It was not only the post but the confrontation that we had the other day, it damaged my reputation too."

" I hope you take the responsibility and clear that issue as well. Now, if we're done, I'll take my leave." As said this, she packed her stuff and left, leaving the girl alone in confusion. 

What just happened? 

She thought that after the issue was resolved, she would act like a brat and would demand a public apology from her. 

Ye Yijun also picked up his stuff and followed Xu Nuan out. " So….how are things at home?" He asked while walking beside her. 

" Home? I don't know. I don't live with them." she replied frankly. 

" About that anonymous post, do you know who would have posted that audio? Because if the first post was made by Xingren, then what about the other one?" 

She glanced at him and shrugged her shoulders, " No idea. Maybe my secret admirer." 

He halted in his steps and stared at her with a frown. How can she make such a comment with a straight face? 

" Good for you then."

She chuckled and shook her head. Although the people aren't talking much on her face, she can hear them whisper about her. 

Don't know how long it will take for things to go back to normal since she doesn't want to argue with anyone on a daily basis. She wants a normal life, without any attention. 

Gu Mansion. 

Gu Zhang and Grandfather Gu were in the living room and were drinking tea when Xingren walked out of her room, all dressed and was carrying her college bag too, " Dad, Grandpa, I am going to college. See you in the evening." she smiled and waved at them before leaving. 

However, before she could step out of the house, she heard Gu Zhang's cold voice, " Xingren, stop it. You are not going anywhere." 

She turned around and looked at him in confusion. " Dad, I already took a few days off since I was sick. If I miss more classes, it will become difficult to catch up with the lectures." 

After the scandal, she didn't go to college. The post and the audio have been deleted by the college authorities already and she was expecting the gossip to tone down by now as well. 

She was also planning to deny the accusations. Although her friend has called her name many times in the audio, she can still claim that the video is fake and someone was trying to set her up. She has quite a reputation in the college and she knows that no one will be able to swallow the truth easily. 

She still has a chance to turn things around. 

Grandfather Gu stared at Gu Zhang and wondered what his response was gonna be this time. He didn't say anything to Xingren yet about the scandal because Gu Zhang had said that he wanted to deal with her, himself. 

In the house, no one has said anything about the issue to her. They all feigned ignorance and gave her a chance to come clean to them herself. 

However, she didn't say anything, instead, she was acting as if everything was normal and she didn't go to college because she was sickly and weak. 

Gu Zhang stood up and walked to her. " You don't need to go to college from now on. I have arranged everything and you will be going abroad next week for your studies." 

"…"

Xingren stared at him in shock. She wasn't sure if he was joking or what. She let out a chuckle and asked, " Study abroad? Dad, didn't you say that you don't want me to go away from you, that's why you wanted me to get admission to Xin Lin since it's the best university in our country?" 

" Now, why so sudden? Aren't I doing great already? I even got the second position in the scholarship exams, second place is not so bad." she said while trying to understand why he wants to send her away. 

Gu Zhang's jaw tightened upon hearing her words. She was pretending as if nothing happened. Still no remorse for her actions!

He took a sharp breath and said, " Second place is great, but seems like you're uncomfortable with it. Isn't that why you made that post on the forum?" 

~Thud~

The books that she was carrying in her hands, fell on the ground when she heard his words. The look in his eyes was not warm and concerning like usual. It was cold and indifferent. 

He knows it. He knows everything. 

Her palms became sweaty and the nervousness that she was trying to control heightened when she noticed Grandfather Gu's disappointed expressions. 

She held onto Gu Zhang's arm and tried to explain, " Dad, it's not like that. It's a misunderstanding. The audio was fake. It wasn't me. Someone is trying to set me up."

" Why would I talk bad about Xu Nuan? She is my sister after all."

He glared at her and yanked her hand away, " Stop lying Xingren. You can fool others but not me. Do you think I can't recognize your voice? Moreover, the things you have done in the past, you're fully capable of doing something like that." 

" Xingren, you truly disappointed me this time."

" I covered your mistakes every time. I went against Xu Nuan and helped you to cover the accident case, I protected you from Father after he revealed that you ordered someone else to harm Xu Nuan."

" I gave you everything you asked for and believed in you every single time. I went against my father, just to give you another chance because I thought that you will change. But you didn't."

" Xingren, it's high time that you accept your mistakes and drop out of Xin Lin." He said seriously. 

" That will be the best solution for now. Go abroad and focus on your studies. Also, think about the mistakes that you have done and try to change for the better." 

Taking Mr. Wen's advice, he had arranged for her to go abroad for her studies and had also planned to have her counseling sessions there, but he can't tell her about that now. She might not react positively to this arrangement, so it's better to not say anything about it yet. 

" Dad….you want to send me away from you? Is…it because I am not your daughter?" she asked in a low quivering voice. How can they do this to her?

It wasn't a big deal. How can they give her such a big punishment?
