The Rumors Spread
The next day, Qiao Qiao packed her things and was about to go to school when Hao Youran called.
"Hello? Youran, what's the matter? "
Qiao Qiao asked curiously.
On the other end, Hao Youran's voice was hesitant. "Hello? Qiaoqiao ah, that, have you heard any strange rumors? "
"Hmm? Rumors? "
Qiao Qiao was stunned and did not understand.
What rumors?
"Ah? You still don't know? " Hao Youran was surprised and then said in a relieved tone, "It's good that you don't know. Be careful when you come to school later."
Qiao Qiao was even more confused. Why did she have to be careful when she went to school?
She felt that Hao Youran was hiding something from her and her heart could not help but be worried. "Youran, did something happen? Tell me more clearly. "
"It's nothing …"
If it was nothing, Hao Youran would not suddenly call her to ask about these things. Qiao Qiao was very suspicious. Could it be that something really happened?
What could it be? Could it be that Song Ying had revealed everything about her?
Impossible. She did not have the guts.
Qiao Qiao shook her head and her expression became serious. She asked again, "Youran, tell me honestly. What happened?"
"Aiya, it's hard to explain these things in a short time. Come to school first. I have something to ask you." Hao Youran did not wait for Qiao Qiao to say anything and hung up the phone first.
A busy tone came from the phone, making Qiaoqiao even more flustered. What exactly happened?
As usual, Qiao Qiao asked the driver to park the car on a small path a street away from the school. In the past, there were very few students passing by here, but today there were suddenly many.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw people pointing at her and whispering.
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She awkwardly turned her face away and hurriedly walked towards the school. Along the way, she could see some students giving her strange looks.
After finally arriving at the classroom, Qiao Qiao did not relax. Instead, she was confused by the strange atmosphere in the classroom.
The classroom, which was originally noisy, suddenly quieted down the moment she stepped in. Her classmates also stared at her with fixed eyes.
Song Ying, who was sitting at the back, coldly rolled her eyes at her and turned to chat with her classmates.
Qiao Qiao frowned. Under the strange gazes of her classmates, she sat down next to Hao Youran.
Hao Youran quickly pulled her to her side and said in a very low voice, "Qiao Qiao, tell me honestly, do you really like Professor Xu now?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She did not understand why Hao Youran would suddenly ask her this question.
Before Qiao Qiao could seriously consider how to answer her question, Hao Youran asked again with a serious face, "Qiao Qiao, you have to answer this question seriously. Tell me, do you still like him?"
Qiao Qiao's heart suddenly thumped, but she still answered honestly, "Youran, actually, Professor Xu and I …"
"Ring, ring, ring …"
The bell signaling the start of class suddenly rang and immediately interrupted Qiao Qiao's words.
The teacher swaggered in and said, "Students, class is starting. If you have anything to say, you can talk after class."
This teacher was famous for being strict. Whoever dared to talk in his class would have to wait to fail the course. Therefore, Qiao Qiao could only wait until class was over before continuing the topic.
After class, the students' gazes gathered on Qiao Qiao again, making her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Youran, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like everyone's eyes are on me today."
Hao Youran casually glanced around and then looked at Qiao Qiao and said, "Don't worry about them. Just tell me, do you like Professor Xu?"
"I …" Qiao Qiao did not know how to answer this question.
However, one thing was certain: Xu Anting's influence on her was diminishing. She could not help but smile and say, "It's just an immature crush."
"Oh, so that means you have nothing to do with Professor Xu?" Hao Youran's eyes suddenly widened.
When Qiao Qiao heard this, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What other relationship do I have with Professor Xu other than that of a teacher-student relationship?"
"No, that …" Hao Youran suddenly panicked. Her eyes were filled with confusion and she grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm. "Qiao Qiao, then do you have a boyfriend?"
Qiao Qiao's face suddenly stiffened and her voice became cautious. "You … did you hear something?"
Her heart was pounding. Could it be that her relationship with He Shaochen had really been exposed?
After all, He Shaochen had been coming to Emperor Lan frequently recently. It was very likely that someone had seen them together.
Hao Youran nodded. "Tell me honestly. You said that you were taking care of your aunt. Was that a lie? You're actually living with another man, aren't you? "
Qiao Qiao's heart sank. As expected, this matter had been exposed.
At this point, Qiao Qiao thought about it and decided to tell Hao Youran the truth. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that the students around her were all pricking their ears. She turned her head and they pretended to be chatting again.
Qiao Qiao whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's …"
"What's so inconvenient about talking here? Qiao Qiao, you're famous in our school now. "Song Ying's sharp and mean voice suddenly rang out.
Qiao Qiao and Hao Youran turned around at the same time.
They saw Song Ying in her high heels with a look of disgust in her eyes. She said, "Qiao Qiao, you're a disgrace to our school!"
"Song Ying, what are you trying to say now?" Qiao Qiao asked impatiently.
Her intuition told her that this matter had something to do with Song Ying.
"Hmph, it's not that I want to say anything. It's just that you've done so many dirty things. Now all the students know about it!" Song Ying glared at Qiao Qiao with a trace of hatred. "Qiao Qiao, don't you think it's shameful? In order to get the opportunity to attend the scientific research meeting, you're willing to throw away your self-esteem? Aren't you cheap? "
"Song Ying, you better watch your mouth. Attending the scientific research meeting was chosen by the school."
"Ha, who knows if it's manipulated behind the scenes?" Song Ying smiled coldly, then turned around and asked the other students who were watching the commotion. "There are so many students here. Why didn't the school choose them, but you?"
"You should ask the school about this matter. You shouldn't be making a fuss here."
"I'm making a fuss. Ha, I just don't want the other students to be kept in the dark by a woman like you!"
Song Ying's every word slandered Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao was not without a temper. Being insulted in front of so many students, her face immediately sank.
