Liming Middle School was Gu Xi's previous school.
There seems to be only one reason why Gu Shao wants to take her to Liming Middle School.
"Are you going to transfer schools?" Gu Xi asked, feeling a little excited.
"Well," Gu Shao responded and said again: "So, go to bed now."
"Okay!" Knowing that she was going to get up early to go to another school tomorrow, Gu Xi was no longer fussing in the living room, so she obediently ran back to her room and went to sleep.
—
The next day, Gu Shao took Gu Xi to Liming Middle School.
Looking at the familiar campus, Gu Xi actually felt a sense of alienation.
At this time, it was class time, and the whole campus was very quiet.
A special teacher came out of the school and welcomed the two to the principal's office.
In the office, Li Ming's principal held Gu Xi's transfer application form, and then looked at the father and daughter in front of him, and his heart was completely unsettled - before this 'Lin Xi' was a child of the Lin family, why haven't you seen him for a few days , became Gu Shao's child.
Although he was shocked, he knew that this kind of thing could not be asked casually, so the principal held back his question and looked at Gu Shao and Gu Xi with a normal expression.
"So, Mr. Gu, you came here to go through the transfer procedures for Lin, er, Gu Xi, right?" the principal asked.
"Yes."
After receiving Gu Shao's affirmative answer, the principal nodded: "I see."
The materials are complete, and the transfer procedures are not complicated.
It's just that, thinking that such a good student is going to transfer to another school, the principal still has some regrets in his heart - although they are private schools, they also attach great importance to teaching.
The existence of a good student can bring a lot of honor and beneficial influence to the school.
Not to mention that Gu Xi has won a lot of awards on behalf of the school, even in each city-wide unified examination, their Gu Xi's results are quite comparable to other schools.
"Actually, if you just change the guardian... Well, I mean changing the living environment, it doesn't necessarily mean changing the school. After all, this child has been studying in our school for more than a year, and he has adapted well to all aspects of the school. The grades have also been stable, and it may be uncomfortable to change to a new school."
After a pause, the principal said again: "It doesn't matter if the name is changed. The names on the school's student files, past grades and awards can also be modified accordingly."
The principal tries to get Gu Xi to stay with them at Liming.
Gu Shao's eyes sank a little.
Gu Shao asked Gu Xi to wait outside first, while he looked at the principal coldly.
"It wasn't just because the guardians changed."
Looking at the principal coldly, Gu Shao said in a deep voice: "My daughter was slandered by rumors while she was studying at your school, which had a serious impact on her interpersonal relationships and personal reputation at school. "
"But in this matter, the school did not give a very reasonable treatment, and as a result, her situation in the school was even more embarrassing, and she was in the violence of school public opinion for a long time."
"Above, I don't think it's necessary for my daughter to continue to study at your school." Gu Shao's voice was not loud, but every word was cold and stern that could not be refuted.
Hearing Gu Shao's words, the expression on the principal's face froze, but he also understood Gu Shao's attitude, and his expression became even more ugly.
- He admitted that regarding what happened to Gu Xi in the school before, as the school side, they really did not do it well.
But they also have their troubles.
At that time, they found out that the person who deliberately spread rumors was Lin Anxin, and they were going to deal with it seriously.
Just before they announced the investigation, the Lin family came to the school: not to seek justice for the 'Lin Xi' at that time, but for Lin Anxin. The Lin family hoped that the school would suppress this matter and stop doing it. any processing.
'Lin Xi' and Lin Anxin are both children of the Lin family, and their parents have come to demand that things be reduced to trivial matters. What else can their school do
But who would have thought that Gu Xi was not a child of the Lin family.
The principal looked at Gu Shao with an embarrassed expression. Finally, he stood up, bowed to Gu Shao, and said, "Mr. Gu, that incident is indeed our school's dereliction of duty. I'm sorry, if Gu Xi wants to transfer, our school will fully cooperate."
Gu Shao's expression was still cold and hard: "Then there is work."
"In addition, my daughter was maliciously slandered during her school in your school, and the rumors on your school's forum, I hope you can completely clean it up." Gu Shao said, and added: "If your school is not capable of cleaning up thoroughly. If it's clean, I don't mind doing it for you."
The first half of Gu Shao's sentence is a request, and the last sentence is a complete threat.
Hearing Gu Shao's words, the headmaster's expression changed, and his heart became nervous, and he quickly said: "No, no, don't bother Mr. Gu, we can handle this matter by the school."
If Gu Shao was to deal with it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to end it, and maybe their school would get into trouble because of it.
"Please rest assured Mr. Gu. I promise you that this matter will be cleaned up and will not have any impact on Gu Xi's future."
The school has also dealt with the rumors before, and has also posted an announcement, but this time, if we want to deal with it thoroughly, it is estimated that the entire forum will need to be closed for a long time.
If necessary, I am afraid that the identity of the rumor-monger will have to be listed.
But this is also no way.
Although the Lin family has a great career, in comparison, Gu Shao's identity as a professor of A University and the president of NTN is more influential to the school.
If he had to make a choice, he naturally chose to sell it to the latter.
…
outside the office.
Gu Xi leaned against the wall, not knowing what Gu Shao and the principal were talking about inside, a little bored.
At this time, it happened to be the big break after class, and not far away came two students who helped the teacher deliver things to the office building.
Gu Xi saw the other party, and the other party also noticed Gu Xi, with a surprised expression on his face, as if he recognized her.
Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat, and subconsciously wanted to hide.
The next second, Gu Xi stopped: No, what does she have to hide? She didn't do anything wrong, let alone some shameful existence, why did she hide.
With this thought in her heart, Gu Xi stood at the entrance of the principal's office, straightened her back, her face was calm, and she didn't show the slightest dodge when she met the curious look of the two people.
—
The two students walked past Gu Xi and walked in the direction of the grade director's office.
It wasn't until they walked a little further that they winked at each other, then quickened their pace, and then they started to discuss in a low voice.
"I read that right, was that Lin Xi from Class A of the second grade just now?"
No. 1 in the whole grade, although it became an existence that was crowded out and avoided by everyone, it still made a deep memory for many people.
"should be."
"Strange, it seems like I haven't seen her for a while."
"I heard that it's going abroad or something," the man said, shaking his head again, "Not necessarily, it's also said that he was sick and went to recuperate."
"So she came to the principal's office today. Is she here to go through the formalities and prepare to go abroad? Or is she coming back to cancel the leave and continue the class?"
"That's hard to say."
…
The two gradually walked away, Gu Xi withdrew her attention, continued to bury her head, stared at her toes, and waited for Gu Shao at the door.
Standing alone in the corridor, he looked a little lonely.
Finally, Gu Shao came out.
"Let's go."
"Huh?" Gu Xi came back to his senses: "Are you alright?"
"En." Gu Shao nodded.
Gu Xi noticed that he was holding a document bag in his hand, and was a little curious.
"what is that?"
"Some things you didn't put into the file at school." Gu Shao explained. This is what the principal asked a teacher to find for Gu Shao just now. It contains copies of some awards that Gu Xi won by participating in competitions on behalf of the school while she was in school, as well as some excellent works and compositions used by the school to display.
Gu Shao didn't have time to see it in the future.
Gu Xiyi couldn't remember for a while that there would be anything that was not included in the file still in the school, so she nodded blankly and followed Gu Shao's pace.
—
However, Lin Xi didn't know that after the two passing students returned to the classroom, they would tell the rest of the class what happened to her.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but because of Lin Xi's 'celebrity' effect, this incident caused a lot of discussion among the students.
It was just after class time, and seeing Gu Shao and Gu Xi leaving, many people poked their heads into the classroom to look.
"Hey, it's really that Lin Xi."
"Is she going to leave again?"
"Do you want to transfer schools?"
People talk.
Soon, the attention of these people shifted from Gu Xi to Gu Shao.
"The person next to Lin Xi is her parent?" Someone pointed in Gu Shao's direction and said in surprise.
From the beginning of school to now, Lin Xi's parents have never shown up, and even in the parent-teacher meeting, Lin Xi's parents have never been seen.
As a result, the parent of the first grade has become a legendary existence.
At this moment, seeing an adult next to Lin Xi, everyone is inevitably curious.
"It looks like eh." Someone muttered.
"It's amazing... I almost thought Lin Xi had no parents."
"How is that possible, maybe he's abroad or something, but then again, I feel that Lin Xi's parents have a very good background."
In terms of bearing and posture, Gu Shao doesn't look like an ordinary person.
"That car is a customized version, it's definitely not a Volkswagen model, and you see, that license plate, ordinary people can't get it."
Several people in the conversation looked at each other.
"Woc, Lin Xi's parents shouldn't be a big man, right?"
"Don't say it, I can't see it clearly, but I really think that person is a little familiar, as if I have seen it on some report."
A person next to him nodded: "Obviously yes, otherwise you see, the principal even sent them away in person."
…
Several people discussed, and gradually quieted down.
Everyone thought of one thing at the same time: the rumor on the forum at the beginning.
What Lin Xi was from a bad background, isn't it just a blatant rumor
It is even more nonsense to say that Lin Xi had an improper relationship with the owner of the printing shop to obtain exam papers and cheated to get a high score.
Seeing the Principal's polite face to Lin Xi's parents, nodding and bowing, it is estimated that if Lin Xi really wanted to do exam papers, he would just show his backstage and go to the Principal to get it. In a way that sounds ridiculous
What's more, in the countless exams, tests, and competitions that followed, Lin Xi also used facts to prove that she was a top student and didn't need to cheat.
"Hey, it's all to blame for the rumor." Someone sighed.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened. Later, the school didn't find out who spread the rumors, which made me think those rumors were true."
"..." Several people were chattering.
In fact, the truth has long been known, but at different times and in different positions, others have different choices to believe or not to believe.
…
And also in the crowd is Lin Anxin.
At this moment, her classmates are also discussing Gu Xi, but the content of the discussion has already gone to other things.
"That should be Lin Xi's parent, do you know An Xin?" Someone turned and asked Lin Anxin.
Lin Anxin shook her head.
She actually met that person, on that day, at their house, but she didn't want to talk about it.
Seeing this, the person next to him nodded, thought of something, and suddenly laughed: "I'll just say it, there were people who said that you and Lin Xi are relatives before, which made me laugh to death."
Another person also echoed: "That's right, it scared me to death at the time."
Lin Anxin remained calm and did not speak.
—Although Lin Xi came out of the same place with her every day and went to school together, Lin Anxin did not want others to know that Lin Xi was her sister.
Therefore, every day when she arrived at the school, Lin Anxin would ask the driver to park in a place farther away from the academy in advance, and let Lin Xi get out of the car first, and then the driver drove to the school gate and she got off.
The family did not object to this.
Later, after rumors appeared and Lin Xi's reputation was not good, Xu Jiaofeng and the others agreed with Lin Anxin's actions.
Even later, they deliberately let the two go to school separately.
The reason is that Lin Xi's bad reputation will affect Lin Anxin.
—
It was speculated that the two of them were relatives because Lin Anxin took a big assignment that Lin Xi had done in the first year of the school to deal with the assignment, but it was found that she had left out a place and the name was not changed.
After that, she and Lin Xi were seen coming from the same direction.
Hence the speculation.
At that time, it happened to be when Lin Xi's rumors spread the most fiercely, and he was ostracized by the whole school.
After knowing this, Lin Anxin denied the relationship between the two without thinking.
It was originally a non-hammered melon by the way, but Lin Anxin denied it, and no one continued to pass it on.
"But I don't think the rumors are really credible. I look at Lin Xi's house and it seems to be fine."
"That is to say, her parents seem to be very powerful."
The two people next to them talked, completely ignoring Lin Anxin, who was looking extremely ugly at the moment.
Lin Anxin looked at the direction the car was going in and didn't speak, but her hand tightly grabbed the corner of the school uniform, her eyes filled with hatred.
——She hated Lin Xi since she was a child. At home, everything about Lin Anxin is better than Lin Xi, so she can't accept anything Lin Xi is better than her.
However, Lin Xi's grades were better than hers. Even though he was not in the same grade, Lin Xi could always take the first place, and she tried every means to tutor, but she could only rank in the top middle.
This also made Lin Anxin hate Lin Xi even more.
After knowing that Lin Xi was not the biological child of their Lin family, Lin Anxin was indeed happy for a while, but soon she was not happy anymore - the man who claimed to be Lin Xi's biological father seemed to be good, even his father seemed to be very fond of that person. Apprehensive look.
How could this be possible? Lin Xi was born to be her foil and was trampled under her feet. She did not allow Lin Xi to have anything better than her, not even her family background!
Thinking in her heart, Lin Anxin's expression gradually became more distorted.
—
Here, Gu Xi at this time does not know what kind of influence he has brought to others.
Anyway, everything in this school has nothing to do with her.
Sitting in the car, seeing the school gate gradually moving away from him, Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corner of his mouth again.
After leaving school, the air is fresh.
On the side, looking at Gu Xi's expression of getting out of the cage and relieved, Gu Shao silently commented on "counseling", but the expression on his face was inadvertently softer.
—
arrive home.
At night, Gu Xi was lying on the bed and suddenly couldn't sleep.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, Gu Xi finally jumped out of bed, walked out of the room, and started wandering around the living room without doing anything.
At this time, Gu Shao was working overtime in the study to deal with several R&D proposals handed over below.
In the past few days, I went to Zhangjia Village, and then went to register Gu Xi with the household registration, and went to the school to go through the transfer procedures. Gu Shao didn't go to the center, so he left some work.
Hearing the trivial movement outside, Gu Shao stopped writing and raised his head.
Then he saw Gu Xi wearing pajamas, wandering past the door of the study like a ghost.
Gu Shao frowned and stopped Gu Xi.
Gu Xi, who was stopped, was startled and whispered, "Dad."
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Gu Shao asked in a deep voice.
"Uh, I'm thirsty, come out and pour a glass of water." Gu Xi explained, pointing in the direction of the kitchen.
She couldn't tell Gu Shao that she thought she was going to a new school tomorrow, and then she couldn't fall asleep for no reason.
Seeing that Gu Shao did not speak with a stern face, Gu Xi felt a little guilty, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, do you want to drink water?"
Without waiting for Gu Shao to answer, Gu Xi consciously ran into the kitchen in small steps to pour himself a glass of water, and then poured another glass for Gu Shao.
Gu Xi held the water and carefully moved to the study.
Seeing Gu Xi dawdling, Gu Shao's temple jumped: Are there any landmines on the ground
Gu Xi carefully placed the water glass by Gu Shao's hand, said "Good night Dad", and turned to leave.
At this time, Gu Shao stopped Gu Xi.
"Sit there." Gu Shao pointed to a chair in the study.
"Oh." Gu Xi obediently moved there.
"Why don't you sleep so late?" Gu Shao asked.
"Just..." means thirsty to drink water.
Without waiting for Gu Xi to say this, Gu Shao asked again, "Because you are going to a new school, so you are afraid?"
Gu Xi was stunned: "..."
Oh, that's right.
