Chapter 975: But This News Is Fake
Editor: Henyee Translations
When Qiao Manman touched Ning Gui’s shoulder, Ning Gui flinched slightly, instinctively trying to pull away, but she didn’t remove Qiao Manman’s hand.
Ning Gui took out an advanced mathematics exercise book, opened it, and asked, “I’m stuck on this question. Can you help me?”
Qiao Manman, whose GPA was above average but particularly strong in mathematics, eagerly agreed. “Let me see. If it’s a different question, you should ask Yangyang. I’ll help with this one.”
Ning Gui nodded gratefully.
Gu Yang raised an eyebrow. It was clear that Ning Gui was trying to befriend Qiao Manman but struggled to find a more natural way to connect.
At that moment, Su Ziyun, from the neighboring dormitory, pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Gu Yang, she said with agitation, “Gu Yang, what I told you before was true. Why did you blacklist me? I really know your background. You’re the daughter of the Family Head of the Tong Family.”
She was visibly upset, having kept this secret over the winter break, and was now eager to reveal it to Gu Yang before discussing any information fees.
Su Ziyun had expected Gu Yang to be shocked by the revelation, but Gu Yang’s expression remained unchanged. Instead, Gu Yang looked at her with confusion.
The others in Dorm 606 also stared at Su Ziyun with puzzled expressions.
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Su Ziyun said, “Gu Yang, I’m telling the truth. I heard it from Tong Jiayin and her brother. If you don’t believe me, you can even do a paternity test with the Tong Family Head!”
Gu Yang responded calmly, “But that news is false.”
Su Ziyun was taken aback. “You don’t believe me?”
Gu Yang shrugged. “The news is outdated. I’m not a daughter of the Tong Family; I’m from the Xiao Family.”
Qiao Manman looked confused as well. “Don’t you keep up with trending topics?”
Su Ziyun’s face fell. “I don’t follow entertainment news.”
The mention of the Xiao Family triggered a memory. She recalled hearing during the New Year that the eldest daughter of the top wealthy family in the capital, the Xiao Family, had been located.
So, it was actually Gu Yang?!
Su Ziyun was baffled by the turn of events.
Qiao Manman said with a hint of sympathy, “It’s a pity you missed out on some major gossip. You know the Xiao Family, one of the four big families in the capital, right? Yangyang is actually their daughter.”
She continued, “There was a big family reunion banquet at the Xiao residence that was the talk of the town. Yangyang invited some classmates, but my family isn’t in the capital, and I had other commitments over the winter break, so I couldn’t attend.”
Su Ziyun’s face turned pale with disappointment.
If she had known, she would have jumped at the chance to attend the Xiao family’s event. The Xiao Family was among the top elite families, and mingling with them could have opened doors to influential connections.
Desperate to improve her situation, Su Ziyun said, “Yangyang, I apologize for any misunderstandings before. Can you please remove me from your blacklist? I truly don’t have any bad intentions.”
Gu Jin noticed Su Ziyun’s persistent behavior and frowned. “Yangyang, are you done packing? Let’s go get something to eat.”
“Some people just walk different paths,” Gu Yang said dismissively, turning to Su Ziyun. She took Gu Jin’s arm and added, “Let’s go, sister. Ah Jue’s waiting for us downstairs.”
Su Ziyun was not ready to give up. She watched as Ning Gui, who had been in the same dormitory as Gu Yang, moved to the same dormitory as Gu Yang. Su Ziyun sneered inwardly, surprised that Ning Gui, who usually kept to herself, was now making an effort to get close to Gu Yang just because she was from the Xiao Family.
