Chapter 158: I’m Richer Than Lu Yan

“Qiao Xi, do you like money a lot?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

What was this?

Did she look like she was in need of money?

What was wrong with Young Master Gu today? He actually asked such a question.

“Not really.”

Qiao Xi replied truthfully that she was indeed not lacking money.

She suddenly thought of why Gu Zheng asked this question. It should be because of Lu Yan. If she were to compare herself to Lu Yan, she would of course not be considered rich.

The precious element he had in his hands was worth 20 million USD per gram. Furthermore, the output was small. Lu Yan must be extremely rich enough to have such a precious resource.

While Qiao Xi was thinking, Gu Zheng casually said, “I’m richer than Lu Yan.”

“??”

Qiao Xi was stunned, then came to a sudden understanding.

It turned out that Gu Zheng had asked her in a roundabout manner because he wanted to prove that he was richer than Lu Yan.

Gu Zheng smiled. “You like money, so you’ll definitely like me more.”

If Qiao Xi liked money, she would definitely like him more because he was richer than Lu Yan.

Qiao Xi’s heart jerked.

Everything he said before was just to lay the groundwork. What Gu Zheng said earlier was the main point.

After returning to their house’s living room, Gu Zheng’s words still echoed in Qiao Xi’s mind.

Qiao Xi wanted to ask Gu Zheng what he meant, but he went into the study after they returned and she fell asleep while waiting.

Qiao Xi was awakened by her phone ringing at seven in the morning.

Qiao Xi answered the call with sleepy eyes. Her mind was still in a mess. “Hello…”

The chancellor’s heart trembled as he trembled with fear. “Sorry, Qiao Xi, I woke you up.”

Qiao Xi gradually came back to her senses. She got up and walked to the window before clearing her throat. “Chancellor, what’s the matter?”

Seeing that she was not angry, the chancellor carefully said, “Qiao Xi, if you’re not busy, can you come to the university?”

Qiao Xi was supposed to be resting today. Something must have happened for the chancellor to call.

Before she could ask what it was, she heard an impatient voice—

“Chancellor Chen, there’s no need to be polite to a cheater. Get her to come to the university quickly. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly and seek justice for the other students.”

Qiao Xi’s gaze was slightly cold.

Cheater?

Who was this person?

Cold sweat broke out on Chancellor Chen’s forehead. “Mr. Fan, you shouldn’t come to a conclusion so soon. The matter has not been investigated yet…”

“What else do we need to investigate? The evidence is right in front of us. Even the teacher might not be able to score full marks for this paper so how did she do it?”

Before Chancellor Chen could explain, Qiao Xi said coldly, “Chancellor, I’ll be right there!”

The chancellor wanted to cry.

He knew Qiao Xi’s ability, and he felt that such a capable person would not stoop to cheating.

Moreover, would finding trouble with Qiao Xi make that young master think that they were making things difficult for Qiao Xi?

It was too difficult to be the chancellor of Li City University!

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Fan said with a serious face, “Chancellor Chen, you’re too kind. Do you have to speak so gently to a cheater? She’s immoral and deserves to be punished!”

Chancellor Chen sighed helplessly. “Mr. Fan Wenyuan, before you have concrete evidence, don’t casually insult the students of our university. If there are any adverse effects, you’ll pay the price!”

Fan Wenyuan frowned unhappily.

He was a famous translator and had translated many famous literary works.

After seeing Qiao Xi’s paper, he was convinced that she had definitely cheated.

The words and sentences were too sharp and accurate. Even Fan Wenyuan was not sure if he could achieve such accuracy.

Qiao Xi was unwilling to admit that she cheated. For the sake of the university’s reputation, Chancellor Chen was also unwilling to believe him. He knew all this.

Old Madam Qiao slammed the table and said sarcastically, “Chancellor, what else is there to investigate? Qiao Xi must have cheated! She’s just a country bumpkin who doesn’t even know what English is. How could she possibly know how to translate? If it were Qiao Rou who got this result, then that would be believable!”

After Qiao Rou returned home, she had been crying. The family could not console her, so Madam Qiao was very dissatisfied with Qiao Xi.

When Qiao Xi competed with Wang Qing, she had to take into account her younger sister’s reputation. She could not make Qiao Rou feel embarrassed.

Moreover, how could a little b*tch who had lived in the countryside since she was young know English? Who would teach her English in such a remote place?

She must have cheated!

Chancellor Chen was a little angry. “Old Madam Qiao, Qiao Rou is your granddaughter but Qiao Xi is also your granddaughter. Even before the investigation is done, you’re already sure that Qiao Xi cheated and are even blaming her with Qiao Rou. You’re…”
