"It's true, of course! Why else would Dean Lu personally step up for that slut?"
Madam Yin insisted that Yu He had seduced Lu Enhua.
That slut had caused trouble at the Gu family banquet before, embarrassing the Gu family and plunging them into crisis. Qin Meimei had been furious about it and hated Yu He to the bone.
Now, if she could just stir up more anger and get on the same side as Qin Meimei, the rest would be easy.
"I was just thinking of how to get rid of that wild girl, and she's delivered herself right to me!" Qin Meimei narrowed her eyes, gritting her teeth.
"Walking into a trap!" Gu Ze murmured, clenching his fists.
For the guaranteed spot at Harvard University, he was trying to figure out how to expose Yu He and reconcile with Lu Chenyu. Now, an opportunity had presented itself!
"Gu Ze Gege, you have such a good relationship with Dean's son, Lu Chenyu Gege. Could you please put in a good word for me with Lu Chenyu Gege and ask him to let me return to Kaiwei School? I promise, if I go back, I'll study hard and won't fight anymore!" Yin Jun said expectantly.
"Yes, A Ze, you're so close to Young Master Lu, can you please help us out and put in a word?" Madam Yin pleaded. "Our Yin Jun cannot leave Kaiwei Academy."
This was the purpose of their visit.
Yin Jun had been expelled from Kaiwei Academy, and no other prestigious school was willing to accept him. As for public schools, Yin Jun's grades would make it embarrassing, and he wouldn't want to go.
"This..." Gu Ze showed a look of difficulty.
He hadn't told anyone that Lu Chenyu had broken off ties with him.
He was confident that Lu Chenyu would reconcile with him quickly, so there was no need to mention it and be ridiculed.
"It's not a big deal. A Ze can mention it to Chenyu another day. Just wait for news."
As Gu Ze was contemplating how to refuse, Qin Meimei had already agreed for him.
Gu Ze: "..."
Madam Yin was overjoyed. "Thank you, Meimei Jie. Thank you, A Ze."
"Thank you, Gu Ze Gege," Yin Jun said excitedly. "My mother said that you're one of the two spots Kaiwei Academy will recommend for Harvard University next year. She told me to learn well from you and go to Harvard University in the future."
"Hehe, you're welcome," Gu Ze replied with an awkward smile.
He became even more determined to expose Yu He's hypocrisy and reconcile with Lu Chenyu, otherwise, he would become a joke among the influential families!
—
Monday.
After finishing breakfast, Yu He was about to leave for school when Qin Beiting, controlling his wheelchair, emerged from his room.
"I'll take you," he said.
Yu He glanced at him. His impeccably handsome face was adorned with gold-rimmed glasses, his short hair styled with wax, and he wore a fitted black suit, with a gray plaid cashmere blanket draped over his legs.
If he weren't in a wheelchair, she'd suspect he was about to walk the red carpet.
"..."
Sitting in a wheelchair, who was actually giving whom a ride?
"It just so happens I need to go to Kaiwei too. I have something to do," Qin Beiting said, as if he had read Yu He's mind.
His injuries had healed considerably during these two days of recuperation, and Yu He no longer restricted him, tacitly agreeing.
They went downstairs and as they approached the neighborhood entrance, they saw a yellow Ferrari parked by the gate. Lu Chenyu stood by the car door, peering into the complex.
Upon seeing Yu He, his eyes lit up, and he waved, "Classmate Yu He."
However, when he saw Qin Beiting, the smile on his face faded slightly.
They really were living together!
He had driven Yu He back that Friday night and witnessed them enter the complex. He had even waited by the gate until midnight, but Yu He hadn't come out.
He wasn't sure what Yu He's relationship with Qin Beiting was, but his subconscious leaned towards them being relatives, and Yu He was simply there to take care of him because he was injured.
"What are you doing here?" Yu He asked indifferently.
"I was just passing by and thought you might not have gone to school yet, so I waited for you for a bit. We can go together," Lu Chenyu said with a bashful smile, then politely greeted Qin Beiting, "Professor Qin, hello. Your leg..."
"For the Lu family to come here and then go to Kaiwei would be a detour of over fifty kilometers," Qin Beiting stated.
His magnetic voice, with its cool tone, showed no courtesy, exposing Lu Chenyu's lie.
That damn man, playing with someone he had already discarded.
Yu He: "..."
Lu Chenyu: "..."
His ulterior motive exposed, his face showed a hint of embarrassment.
But this man was the seventh young master of the Qin family, someone his own father and elder brother had to treat with respect. He dared not offend him lightly.
Furthermore, he was still unsure of Yu He's relationship with him.
"Since you're going to be the chauffeur, why are you just standing there?" Qin Beiting added coldly.
His sharp phoenix eyes swept over him as if searching for which item was a gift from the young lady.
Lu Chenyu: "..."
"No, I'm not. I didn't. Don't spout nonsense!"
Yu He looked at Qin Beiting with some surprise. Then she checked the order status on her phone. It was rush hour, and no driver had accepted the order yet, so she canceled it.
"Thanks," she said to Lu Chenyu.
Lu Chenyu hurriedly opened the rear passenger door and helped Yu He get Qin Beiting into the back seat, folding the wheelchair and placing it in the trunk.
On the way, an awkward silence filled the car. The two in the back played on their phones, while Lu Chenyu drove, feeling like crying but having no tears. They were truly treating him like a chauffeur!
Twenty minutes later, Lu Chenyu first dropped Yu He off at the entrance of the senior high school building.
After Yu He got out and the car door closed, Lu Chenyu asked, "Professor Qin, where shall I take you?"
Qin Beiting looked at his phone, without even lifting his eyes, and said, "Take me back to Tian Yu."
Lu Chenyu: "..."
Are you toying with me?!
Moreover, class was about to start, and running back would definitely make him late.
"Weren't you coming to the academy for something?" he asked tactfully.
"It's already done."
Lu Chenyu: "..."
How could it be done when you haven't even gotten out of the car?!
"There are only five minutes left until class. Can I have a driver take you back?" Lu Chenyu asked helplessly.
Qin Beiting glanced at his watch. "If you hesitate for another two minutes, you'll be back just in time to miss the first class."
His tone was utterly unnegotiable!
Lu Chenyu was a little annoyed, but he dared not express it, fearing he would offend Qin Beiting. He obediently turned the car around and drove him back.
The car arrived at Tian Yu.
After Qin Beiting got out, he said coolly, "If you like being a chauffeur, you can register as a ride-share driver."
Lu Chenyu almost spat blood. He finally understood that Qin Beiting was deliberately messing with him!
Just because he made an excuse to pick up Yu He?!
Lu Chenyu clenched his fists and, gathering his courage, asked:
"Professor Qin, forgive my impertinence, but what is your relationship with Yu He?"
