After a while, he drove to pick up Shen Wanqing. Perhaps because he was in low spirits, he remained silent throughout the ride.
Shen Wanqing rested her hand on his arm, softly asking, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing." Qin Siyuan replied calmly, "My dad has invited you to dinner tonight. Grandfather will also be there."
Shen Wanqing was pleasantly surprised, "Grandfather will be there too? I will definitely make sure to prepare well."
Qin Siyuan forced a smile, "Grandfather enjoys piano music. If you play a couple of pieces for him tonight, he will surely be delighted."
Shen Wanqing obediently agreed and then changed the subject, "By the way, does Anxi need to work tonight? Will she take part?"
Qin Siyuan seemed indifferent and only replied after a moment, "She doesn’t live at home anymore, so she probably won’t have time."
Shen Wanqing’s heart pounded, but she put on an expression of utmost surprise. "What’s wrong with Anxi? Did she..."
Her voice dropped to a whisper, "Did she feel that there were too many restrictions at home, so she decided to live outside where it’s freer?"
Qin Siyuan glanced at her, his voice slightly deeper, "Is that what you think?"
"I’m just guessing," Shen Wanqing replied softly. "Anxi has changed a lot."
Qin Siyuan said no more and drove straight to the university.
The luxurious sports car, parked on the university campus, was strikingly flashy and drew considerable attention.
When Shen Wanqing got out of the car, she was quite composed. Being with Qin Siyuan was the dream of every girl at the university. He had good looks, excelled academically, was the president of the university’s student council, and came from an even better family background.
Moreover, Qin Siyuan was not just a fourth-year student; he had also founded a multimedia company that was doing quite well. He was a bona fide prominent figure at the university, attracting admiring gazes wherever he went.
Qin Siyuan was used to this. He spoke a few words to Shen Wanqing before heading to his own classroom.
Shen Wanqing stood there, a faint smile playing on her lips, relishing the information Qin Siyuan had just disclosed. Gu Anxi has finally been kicked out by the Qin family! It makes sense. Uncle Qin must have tolerated her for so long; it truly hasn’t been easy for him.
Just as she was thinking this, Lin Qi, a classmate, approached from out of nowhere, "Wanqing."
Shen Wanqing looked over and smiled lightly.
Lin Qi lowered her voice, "It’s Professor Gao’s class first thing this morning, and Gu Anxi hasn’t come yet. I wonder if she’s skipping class."
Shen Wanqing chuckled softly, "Isn’t it quite normal for her to skip class?"
Lin Qi also grinned, clearly enjoying Gu Anxi’s misfortune. "I heard that Principal Wang is out on a business trip today, so there’s no one looking out for her. Do you think Professor Gao will take any action?"
Shen Wanqing did not respond, merely holding her books as she walked towards the academic building. With her long, straight black hair and a white school uniform from the university, she had a rather ethereal air.
Lin Qi watched for a while. Shen Wanqing still lacks something compared to Gu Anxi—charisma. And looking from the front, the difference is even more obvious.
Upon entering the classroom, Gu Anxi was indeed not there. Professor Gao’s face was several shades darker than usual; he looked like he wanted to erupt with anger, but the main culprit wasn’t present.
Naturally, he wouldn’t let Gu Anxi off the hook afterward; he would undoubtedly report her.
As soon as class ended, Lin Qi came over. "Wanqing, I feel Professor Gao’s anger is on the verge of exploding."
Shen Wanqing said, her gaze lowered, "As long as Principal Wang is around, Gu Anxi will be fine."
Lin Qi muttered, "I wonder why Principal Wang favors Gu Anxi so much."
An unknown male classmate chuckled, "’It’s because she’s good-looking, of course.’"
