Chapter 116: The Nie Family Goes Bankrupt

Teacher Cao quietly left the playground, his entire being full of worry, anxious and upset as he hung up the phone. He had called Nie Junran several times, but no one picked up—not even his daughter.

“Your message is really slow.” A young voice came from behind. Teacher Cao paused, turned stiffly, and saw a young man dressed in black clothes.

“Who are you?” Teacher Cao had never seen this person at school.

Shiyi smiled and moved slightly to the side. Teacher Cao then saw Gu Ting behind him.

“It’s… you!” His intuition told him that today’s matter was inseparable from this man surnamed Gu.

Gu Ting’s face showed no expression; his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of frost. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Teacher Cao. “The screen on the stage and the reporters, all you set up.”

Teacher Cao’s eyes rolled around. “What do you mean I set it up? I don’t understand.”

Whether he did it or not, no matter what happened, Nie Junran, this son-in-law, would help. What could the school do to him?

Shiyi stood to the side and laughed. “Old man, your backing the Nie family is almost bankrupt—you don’t know yet?”

Teacher Cao’s body stiffened, and his face instantly turned deathly pale. “What nonsense are you talking!”

The Nie family’s development in Fan City was thriving, especially in recent years, and they had even surpassed the Yu family. How could they possibly be bankrupt!

Gu Ting lowered his head to glance at his phone, sent a message to Shen Qing, asking where she was. The other party replied instantly for the first time. Gu Ting looked at the message and smiled, then turned and left.

Shiyi saw this and quickly followed, leaving Teacher Cao standing there stunned.

He took out his phone and saw the announcement from Nie Group’s Weibo: they were really bankrupt…

Shiyi followed Gu Ting, looking at the phone message, suddenly “eh,” “Brother, I only reported the Nie family’s illegal fundraising; is the stealing of business secrets done by the other two brothers?”

Gu Ting’s steps slowed. He kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he replied with two words, “Should be.”

“Oh, Miss Shen?” Shiyi looked up and saw the girl in school uniform leaning against the wall. He glanced at Gu Ting, then silently turned and left.

After Shiyi left, Gu Ting was already beside Shen Qing, seeing the girl pull up the high zipper of her school uniform. “Wore how many clothes? Not cold?”

The girl lifted her eyelids to meet his eyes. “Not cold.”

“Wait for class?”

Shen Qing paused, raised her hand to press her temples. “Not going.”

With today’s incident, her phone was exploding with messages. If she went to class, the little brats in Class Three would probably go crazy. Better not to go and hit them.

Gu Ting’s gaze darkened; his throat moved. He slowly asked in a low voice, “Go to my place to stay?”

Shen Qing looked up at him for several seconds, then slowly nodded. “Alright.”

Shen Qing sent a message to Xie Mingming saying not to go to class, then leisurely ate the snacks Gu Ting had taken out.

Gu Ting looked at her and smiled, sitting beside the girl. “After eating, let’s talk about something.”

Shen Qing paused, puffed out her cheeks and asked, “What thing?”

The girl’s eyes were bright, and her puffed cheeks were very cute. Gu Ting couldn’t help but reach out and poke her cheek with his finger.

Shen Qing’s eyes narrowed; just as his finger was about to touch her skin, she blocked it with the pen on the table.

“Say or not?” She frowned.

Gu Ting was stunned for a moment, withdrew his hand. “Let’s talk about studying.” As he spoke, Gu Ting rummaged through the drawer and took out a packet wrapped tightly in yellow paper.

“This month’s exam was good, 100 points. Next month, you promised me 200 points.” Gu Ting opened the yellow paper; inside were full test papers.

Shen Qing’s brows twitched. “All written by me?”

“I picked them out for you to write.” Gu Ting knew Shen Qing’s personality; she wouldn’t even pick up a pen to copy answers, so how could he expect her to write them?

“Oh.” Shen Qing lowered her head and continued eating, ignoring Gu Ting’s meaning.

“Shen Qing.” Gu Ting gently called.

“Hm.”

“We won’t be the pride of underachievers, but the pride of top students, okay?”

Shen Qing lifted her head. “No.”
