Jiang Qing’s face turned deathly pale, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She wouldn’t marry an old man like that even if it killed her!
“Jiang Qing, didn’t you promise to keep it a secret that I have a boyfriend? How could you expose me like this!”
Chen Feixue and several other girls looked at each other in bewilderment.
This country bumpkin actually had a boyfriend…
Xu Yi let out a snicker. “Wanwan was photographed at a nightclub with her boyfriend, yet you’re all going around saying she’s messing around with men. She’s already a junior—are people not allowed to date? Talk about overstepping!”
Jiang Qing’s expression was incredibly ugly.
If she denied it now, and once she told the Third Master the truth, wouldn’t it end up being her who had to marry him instead?
She refused to marry a man who was old and ugly!
However, since Jiang Wan dared to cheat, she would definitely make sure the Third Master knew!
“Sister, this is all a misunderstanding…”
“Did you hear that?” Jiang Wan swept her gaze over the three girls, whose expressions were a mix of varying emotions. “If you don’t delete that post, I’ll have no choice but to sue you for defamation and slander. After all, my boyfriend is someone you can’t afford to offend! If you don’t believe me, ask Jiang Qing.”
She said “boyfriend” out loud, but she was actually referring to her “husband.”
Even if Jiang Qing knew the man in the photo wasn’t Third Master Lu, would she dare admit it?
Jiang Qing bit her lip, her eyes reddening, and she turned and ran away.
Chen Feixue and the others hurriedly gave chase.
Xu Yi crossed her arms. “Seeing their faces go from smug to getting slapped like that is so satisfying! But is your boyfriend some kind of rich second-generation heir? Is he good to you?” Her expression turned worried as she added, “Those rich heirs are very fickle these days. You have to be careful!”
“When did Student Jiang Wan get a boyfriend?”
A low, deep voice drifted over.
Jiang Wan’s smile froze instantly, and she whipped her head around.
The man wore a sharp, ink-black suit. His tie was knotted impeccably, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his high nose, giving him a refined and scholarly air.
He looked like a completely different person from the wild, lustful man of that night.
He appeared like an ascetic, holy Buddha, devoid of worldly desires.
As he approached, he carried a strange, inherent sense of pressure that made it impossible for one to move their feet.
For the first time, she understood what it meant for someone’s handsomeness to be “overpowering!”
“Pro… Professor Yan!”
Xu Yi excitedly reached out to tug at Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan kept frantically brushing her hand away.
Couldn’t she see how awkward she was right now!
She had been talking nonsense, and the “person involved” had heard it all!
Lu Yanzhou stopped in front of her. He leisurely took out his phone and displayed a cropped photo from the forum. “Boyfriend?” he asked meaningfully.
Jiang Wan lowered her head.
She was looking for a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Seeing her pursing her lips in silence, the man put away his phone and added pointedly, “Since when was I your boyfriend?”
He already knew about the forum situation; he was just curious to see how this little girl would handle it.
Unexpectedly, she wasn’t stupid.
She knew how to go with the flow and counter every move.
It was just that she had aimed her schemes right at his face.
Xu Yi looked at Lu Yanzhou and then at Jiang Wan, feeling a strange vibe between them. It was something impenetrable, inexplicable, and beyond words.
Jiang Wan couldn’t hold it together any longer. “Um, my mom’s calling me home to… bring in the laundry…”
Hunching her shoulders, she took two steps to leave.
The man spoke. “Stop.”
Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Xu Yi quickly made an excuse. “Wanwan, I just remembered I have another class. I’ll head out first!”
Sorry, sister!
Seeing Xu Yi running even faster than she was, Jiang Wan cursed her inwardly for being so spineless!
She steeled herself and turned around with a dry laugh. “Professor Yan, I admit I lied. I was just joking. You’re a magnanimous man, surely you won’t hold it against me?”
