Liming Middle School is the school Gu Xi attended before.

There seems to be only one reason why Gu Shao wants to take her to Liming Middle School.

"Is it going to transfer school?" Gu Xi asked, feeling a little excited.

"En," Gu Shao replied, and then said, "So, go to sleep now."

"Okay!" Knowing that I will get up early tomorrow to apply for the transfer, Gu Xi stopped grind in the living room, and ran back to her room to go to bed obediently.

——

The next day, Gu Shao took Gu Xi to Liming Middle School.

Looking at the familiar campus, Gu Xi felt like a world away.

This is exactly the time for class, and the whole campus is very quiet.

A special teacher came out from the school and welcomed the two to the principal’s office.

In the office, Liming’s principal took Gu Xi’s transfer application form, and then looked at the father and daughter in front of him. There was a wave of unrest in his heart. Before this'Lin Xi' was still a child of the Lin family, how many days? If he didn't see him, he became Gu Shao's child.

Although he was shocked, he knew that he couldn't ask casually about this kind of thing, so the principal held back and didn't ask, looking at Gu Shao and Gu Xi with normal expressions.

"So, Mr. Gu, you came here to go through the transfer procedures for Lin, er, Gu Xi, right?" the principal asked.

"Yes."

After Gu Shao answered in the affirmative, the principal nodded, "I see."

The materials are complete and the transfer procedures are not complicated.

However, thinking that such a good student wants to transfer to another school, the principal still feels a little regretful-although they are private schools, they also attach great importance to teaching.

The existence of a good student can bring many honors and beneficial effects to the school.

Not to mention that Gu Xi has won many awards on behalf of the school, that is, every time the city-wide unified exam, their Gu Xi scores are compared with other schools, and they are quite good.

"Actually, if you just change the guardian... well, I mean you don’t necessarily have to change school if you change your living environment. After all, this kid has been studying in our school for more than a year and has adapted well to all aspects of the school. , The grades have always been very stable, and it may not adapt to changing to a new school."

After a pause, the principal said again: "If the name is changed, it doesn't matter. The name on the school's student files, past achievements and awards can also be changed."

The principal tried to let Gu Xi continue to study at Liming.

Gu Shao's eyes fell a bit.

Gu Shao told Gu Xi to wait outside first, but he looked at the principal coldly.

"The transfer to her was not just because the guardian changed."

Looking at the principal with indifferent eyes, Gu Shao said in a deep voice: "My daughter was slandered by rumors while she was in your school, which had a serious impact on her interpersonal communication and personal reputation at school. "

"But in this matter, the school did not give a very reasonable treatment, and therefore, made her later in the school situation more embarrassing, and has been in the violence of public opinion on campus for a long time."

"Above, I don't think it is necessary for my daughter to continue to study in your school." Gu Shao's voice is not loud, but every word is cold and harsh.

Hearing Gu Shao's words, the expression on the principal's face froze, but he also understood Gu Shao's attitude, and his complexion suddenly became even more ugly.

——He admitted that, regarding the incident that happened to Gu Xi in the school before, as the school side, they really did not do well.

But they also have their difficulties.

At that time, they found out that the person who deliberately spread the rumors was Lin Anxin, who had planned to deal with it seriously.

Just before they announced the investigation, the Lin family came to the school: they did not seek justice for the'Lin Xi' at the time, but for Lin Anxin. The Lin family hoped that the school would suppress this matter and stop doing it anymore. Any treatment.

Both'Lin Xi' and Lin Anxin are children of the Lin family, and their parents have come to ask that things be turned into small things. What else can their school do?

It's just who would have thought that Gu Xi was not a child of the Lin family.

The principal looked at Gu Shao with an awkward expression. Finally, he stood up, bowed to Gu Shao, and said, "Mr. Gu, that incident is indeed a negligence of our school. I'm sorry, if Gu Xi wants to transfer, our school will fully cooperate."

Gu Shao's expression is still cold and hard: "Then it will be work."

"In addition, the false statements that my daughter was maliciously slandered while studying at your school, as well as the rumors on your school forum, I hope you can clean them up," Gu Shao said, adding: "If your school does not have the ability to clean up thoroughly. If it's clean, I don't mind doing it for you."

The first half sentence of Gu Shao is a request, and the latter sentence is completely threatening.

Hearing Gu Shao's words, the principal's expression changed, and his heart became nervous, and he quickly said: "No, no, no trouble Mr. Gu, we can handle this matter by the school."

If Gu Shao were to deal with it, I am afraid that this matter would not be so simple and could end. Maybe their school would get into trouble because of it.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gu, I assure you that this matter will be cleaned up and will not have any impact on Gu Xi in the future."

The school has dealt with the rumors before, and it has also posted an announcement, but this time I want to deal with it thoroughly, and it is estimated that the entire forum will need to be closed for a long time.

When necessary, I am afraid that the identity of the rumors must be revealed.

But this is no alternative.

Although Lin's family has a great career, in comparison, Gu Shao's status as a professor of University A and president of NTN is more influential for the school.

If he had to make a choice, he would naturally choose to sell to the latter to save face.

...

Outside the office.

Gu Xi leaned against the wall and didn't know what Gu Shao and the principal were talking about inside. It was a bit boring.

At this time, it happened to be the big break between class, and two students who helped the teacher deliver things to the office building came not far away.

Gu Xi saw the other party, and the other party also noticed Gu Xi, with surprise on her face, as if she recognized her.

Gu Xi felt a little bit in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to hide.

The next second, Gu Xi stopped: No, what can she hide? She didn't commit a crime, let alone a shameful existence, why did she hide.

Thinking about this in her heart, Gu Xi stood up at the door of the principal's office, straightened her waist, her expression calm, and she did not show any more dodge when meeting the curious look of the two people.

——

The two students passed in front of Gu Xi and walked in the direction of the grade director's office.

The two men winked at each other when they got farther, then accelerated their pace and started to discuss in a low voice.

"I'm not mistaken, was that Lin Xi from Class A in the second grade?"

No. 1 in the whole year, although it later became an existence that was squeezed out and avoided by everyone, it still impressed many people.

"should be."

"Strange, I haven't seen her for a while, right?"

"I heard that it's about going abroad or something," the man said, and shook his head again: "It's not necessarily true. It's also said that it's sick to get sick."

"So she came to the principal's office today, is she here to go through the formalities to go abroad? Or is she coming back to cancel her leave and continue class?"

"That's hard to say."

...

The two gradually walked away, Gu Xi retracted her attention, continued to bury her head, staring at her toes, and waited for Gu Shao at the door.

Standing alone in the corridor, it looked a little lonely.

Finally, Gu Shao came out.

"Let's go."

"Huh?" Gu Xi came back to her senses: "Alright?"

"En." Gu Shao nodded.

Gu Xi noticed that he still had something in a paper bag in his hand, and was a little curious.

"what is that?"

"Some things you didn't put in the file at school." Gu Shao explained. This is what the principal asked a teacher to find for Gu Shao. It contains copies of some awards that Gu Xi received during the school competition on behalf of the school, as well as some excellent works and essays used by the school to display.

Gu Shao didn't have time to see in the future.

Gu Xi couldn't remember for a moment that there would be something that hadn't been put in the file still at the school, so she nodded in a daze, and followed Gu Shao's pace.

——

However, Lin Xi didn't know that after the two passing students returned to the classroom, they would have seen her tell the rest of the class.

It wasn't a big event at first, but because of Lin Xi's'celebrity' effect, this incident caused quite a bit of discussion among the students.

It happened to be the end of get out of class. Seeing Gu Shao and Gu Xi leaving, many people poked their heads into the classroom to look at them.

"Hey, it's really Lin Xi."

"Is she leaving again?"

"Is it a transfer?"

Everyone discusses.

Soon, the attention of these people shifted from Gu Xi to Gu Shao.

"Is the person next to Lin Xi her parent?" Someone pointed in Gu Shao's direction and said in surprise.

From the beginning of school to the present, Lin Xi's parents have never showed up, and even in the parent conference, they have not seen Lin Xi's parents come over.

As a result, the first-grade parent became a legendary existence.

At this moment, seeing an adult next to Lin Xi, everyone is inevitably curious.

"It looks like it's eh," someone muttered.

"It's amazing... I almost thought Lin Xi had no parents."

"How is it possible, maybe it's abroad or something, but then again, I feel that Lin Xi's parents have a lot of background."

Regardless of his tolerance or posture, Gu Shao didn'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 any big shots."

"Don't tell me, you can't see clearly, but I really think that person is a bit familiar, as if I have seen it in some reports."

The person next to him nodded: "Obviously it is, otherwise you see, the principal will personally send them away."

...

Several people talked, and gradually calmed down.

Everyone thought of one thing in unison: the rumor on the forum.

Why is Lin Xi from a bad background? Isn't it a naked rumor when I look at it this way?

It was also said that Lin Xi had an improper relationship with the owner of the printing shop and obtained the test papers by cheating, which is even more nonsense.

Seeing the principal’s polite expression towards Lin Xi’s parents, nodding his head and bowing, I guess Lin Xi really wants to do the test papers, puts himself in the background and goes to the principal to get it, and he needs to use it. Kind of a method that sounds like a joke?

What's more, in the countless examinations, tests, and competitions that followed, Lin Xi also proved with facts that she was a schoolmaster and didn't need to cheat.

"Hey, I blame the rumors." Someone sighed with emotion.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Later, the school didn't pick out the person who made the rumors, so I thought those rumors were true."

"..." A few people were chattering.

The truth has already existed, it's just that at different times and different positions, the choices others believe or don't believe are different.

...

Also in the crowd is Lin Anxin.

At this moment, the classmates with her were also talking about Gu Xi, but the content of the discussion had already gone to other things.

"That should be Lin Xi's parent, do you know An Xin?" Someone turned his head 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.

Upon seeing this, the person next to him nodded, thinking of something, and suddenly laughed: "Let's just say it, before someone said that you and Lin Xi are relatives, so they laughed at me."

Another person also echoed: "That is, I was scared to death at that time."

Lin Anxin remained calm and did not speak.

——Although Lin Xi comes out from the same place with her every day and goes to school together, Lin Anxin doesn't want others to know that Lin Xi is her sister.

Therefore, every day when she arrives at the school, Lin Anxin will ask the driver to stop at a place farther away from the college in advance, let Lin Xi get off the car first, and then the driver will drive to the school gate and she will get off the car.

In this regard, the family has no objection.

Later, after rumors appeared and Lin Xi's reputation was not good, Xu Jiaofeng and 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 homework done by Lin Xichu to deal with the business, but it was discovered that she had missed a place whose name was not changed.

After that, she and Lin Xi were seen coming from the same direction.

So there is such a guess.

At that time, it happened that Lin Xi's rumors spread the most fiercely and was squeezed out by the whole school.

After learning about this, Lin Anxin denied the relationship between the two without even thinking about it.

It was originally a non-hammer melon by the way, 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 pretty good."

"In other words, it feels like her parents are very powerful."

The two people next to each other talked, completely ignoring Lin Anxin, whose face was extremely ugly at the moment.

Lin Anxin looked at the direction of the car and didn't say a word, but her hand tightly grabbed the corner of the school uniform, her eyes full of hatred.

——She hated Lin Xi since she was a child. At home, everything about Lin Anxin is better than Lin Xi. Therefore, she cannot accept anything Lin Xi is better than her.

However, Lin Xi's grades are better than her. Although she is not in the same grade, Lin Xi can get the first place every time, and she can only rank in the middle and upper ranks by trying every means to supplement her.

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, but soon she couldn’t be happy again—the man who claimed to be Lin Xi’s biological father looked good, even his father seemed to treat that person. Very worried.

How could this be? Lin Xi was born to be her foil, who was trampled under her feet. She didn't allow Lin Xi to have anything better than her, even her family background could not be better than her!

Thinking in her heart, Lin Anxin's expression gradually became more distorted.

——

Here, Gu Xi at this time didn't know what kind of influence she had brought to others.

Anyway, everything in this school has nothing to do with her.

Sitting in the car, Gu Xi let out a sigh of relief and raised her mouth again when she saw the school gate gradually drifting away from her.

After leaving school, the air became fresher.

On the side, watching Gu Xi's appearance of being relieved from the cage, Gu Shao silently commented on "counsel", but the expression on his face was inadvertently a little softer.

——

arrive home.

At night, Gu Xi was lying on the bed and suddenly couldn't sleep anymore.

After staring at the ceiling for a while, Gu Xi finally jumped out of bed, walked out of the room, and started wandering around in the living room without doing anything.

At this time, Gu Shao was working overtime in the study to deal with several R&D proposals submitted below.

In the past few days, I went to Zhangjiacun and went to register for Gu Xi's hukou and go 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 I saw Gu Xi wandering by the door of the study like a ghost in her pajamas.

Gu Shao frowned and stopped Gu Xi.

Gu Xi, who was stopped, was taken aback, 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.

I can't tell Gu Shao that she thought she would go to the new school tomorrow, and then she couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

Seeing Gu Shao stern and silent, Gu Xi felt a little guilty, and then whispered: "Dad, would you like to drink water?"

Before Gu Shao could answer, Gu Xi consciously ran into the kitchen in small steps and poured herself a glass of water, and then gave Gu Shao another glass.

Gu Xi took the water and moved carefully to the study.

Seeing Gu Xi's drowsiness, Gu Shao's temple jumped: Are there mines on the ground?

Gu Xi carefully placed the water glass by Gu Shao's hand, said "Good night Dad", turned around and started to drive.

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 go to bed so late?" Gu Shao asked.

"Just..." It's thirsty to drink water.

Without waiting for Gu Xi to say this, Gu Shao asked: "Because I am going to the new school, I am afraid?"

Gu Xi was taken aback: "..."

Oh, right in the middle.
