Shen Wanqing’s voice lowered. "After all, she works in a place where most people wouldn’t go."
This confirmed that Gu Anxi really did work at Di Se.
It was also true that her family couldn’t control her.
Wow, the school beauty is really wild!
Professor Gao nodded, his face so grim it looked as if it might drip water, and he quickly left.
He dialed the number he got from the school contacts, but that phone number—it belonged to Gu Yuntian! That phone was already broken. That person would never pick it up again.
Professor Gao was furious. He dialed another number—Wang Keru’s.
Wang Keru, for a change, hadn’t gone out to play mahjong today. She was in a bad mood, all because of Gu Anxi.
She felt she held all the cards, but this girl was just too stubborn, refusing to concede. What was the point of such obstinacy?
She was already upset, and the call made her even more furious.
Professor Gao was quite blunt and directly asked her to come to the school.
Wang Keru ended the call. Filled with unvented rage, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Qin Han was unexpectedly there, sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Hearing footsteps, Qin Han folded his newspaper and smiled faintly. "Why do you look so upset?"
Wang Keru came downstairs and sat beside him without saying anything.
Qin Han nodded understandingly. "Did Anxi make you angry again?"
Wang Keru remained silent. Qin Han continued reading his newspaper while remarking, "If there’s anything at the school, just go deal with it. Qing University is still a good school. Even if she doesn’t apply herself, she should at least get her degree."
After a pause, as if a thought had struck him, he shook his head. "Perhaps she really has no artistic talent. You don’t need to push her so hard."
Wang Keru picked up her wallet and said tiredly, "I’m going to the hospital first."
Qin Han said nothing more.
Soon, the sound of a car starting echoed in the courtyard.
By the time Wang Keru arrived at Yunxi Hospital, it was already half past ten in the morning.
The check-up wasn’t finished yet. Gu Anxi stood in the hallway, her tall, thin figure leaning against the wall, her gaze fixed on the operating room door.
The sharp click-clack of high heels echoed down the corridor, the hurried pace making them sound piercing.
Wang Keru was fuming. "You’re still standing here! The school even called me about you."
Gu Anxi turned her head. "I asked for leave."
"Leave?" Wang Keru sneered. "Do you think your problem is as simple as skipping classes? Someone posted about you working at Di Se on the school forum. Do you have any idea how awful they made it sound?"
Gu Anxi turned her head again. "I don’t know."
Wang Keru lowered her voice, as if afraid of losing face. "What kind of attitude is this? Come with me to the school right now. You need to explain things to your teachers and promise you won’t go to such a disreputable place again."
Gu Anxi looked down, kicking lightly at the floor. "Dad is undergoing a check-up."
Wang Keru’s voice hardened. "You can check the results later."
Besides, for that person... what was the use of an examination anyway?
Wang Keru’s eyes began to sting. As she spoke, she reached out to pull Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi frowned slightly and quickly withdrew her hand.
Her arm dropped, still aching sharply.
Wang Keru erupted, "What is this attitude?"
Gu Anxi said firmly, "I need to stay here and wait."
Wang Keru was furious and took a step back. "Fine, fine! So, in your eyes, I, your mother, mean nothing, is that it? My words carry no weight whatsoever, do they!"
After saying this, she expected Gu Anxi to back down and apologize to her.
