My Evil Genius Wife

Xingren's lips slightly trembled upon seeing Xu Nuan's cold demeanor. Is she seriously here to talk about that post? 

So what if she is here to talk about that?

She doesn't even have any evidence against her. She can't prove that she is the one who posted it. 

Gaining her confidence back, she put on a smile on her face and said, " Why are you asking me that? Of course, you can talk here. It's your family after all. I am the one stranger here." 

" Xingren…." Her words bothered Lin Ran as she doesn't want Xingren to think that she doesn't belong to their family. She has grown up in the family and has been living as their daughter for all of her life, how can everything be changed in a moment?

Xingren looked at Lin Ran and shook her head, signaling her to not think much about it. Even though, she was trying to be humble and was telling Xu Nuan that it was her family, inwardly she couldn't help but sneer at her. 

' Xu Nuan, are you seeing this? This is your family, yet they care about me more than you. This is the difference between me and you.'

' You can never take my position. Be it here, or in college.'

Xingren turned to Xu Nuan and said, " Sister, I was just trying to say that we're all family. You don't need to hide anything from them."

" But….if you want, you can talk to the father alone. I am sure it must be hard for you to talk about it in front of everyone." she said, looking at her with a meaningful gaze. 

Gu Zhang shot a glance at Xu Nuan before turning to Xingren, " Ren Ren, did something happen? Did she do anything in college?"

Xu Nuan didn't say anything and watched Xingren playing her innocent card. 

Go Ahead! She also wants to see what she can do today.

Upon hearing Gu Zhang's words, Xingren turned to him and looked at Xu Nuan hesitantly before saying, " Sister, I am sorry. I didn't mean to…"

" Xingren, something happened, right? Don't be afraid. Tell me, what did she do now?" Grandmother Gu patted the back of her hand while staring at Xu Nuan sternly. 

'This girl never stops stirring trouble for them.'

Xu Nuan scoffed seeing Xingren's drama and their reactions upon hearing her words. Well, it was an expected reaction from them. After all, she is their...baby princess. 

She crossed one leg over another and asked nonchalantly, " Why are you asking her? Aren't I here to talk about the same?"

" Wait. Let me show you something." As said, she unlocked her phone and passed it to Gu Zhang to see the post, " This post was made on the college forum two days ago. I am sure your princess must want to talk about the same." 

Gu Zhang shot her glare at the way she called Xingren, 'Princess'. However, that was not important here. 

He glanced at Xingren, who looked still hesitant, and took a deep breath before reading the contents of the post.

" What...what is this?" His eyes widened in shock upon reading the contents of the post. 

His lips parted in shock as he couldn't believe that such rumors about Xu Nuan were spreading in the college. 

No matter how much they deny it, in the end, she is Gu and the reputation of the Gu family is attached to her name. When she got admission to Xin Liu after getting the scholarship, he bragged about it to his friends, who also belong to the same elite society. 

It was an honorable achievement to get Xin Liu's scholarship and...if this post is true, then everything will be ruined. His reputation and the values that the Gu family holds, everything will turn into a joke. 

Grandmother Gu saw her son's pale complexion and snatched the phone from him, " Give it to me."

After reading the post, she was equally shocked. What in the world….

She looked up at Xu Nuan and was speechless at how shameful she can become." You...You...How can you do such a shameful thing? You're telling us that this post is all over the college forum? You mean, everyone read this and found out about your cheap actions?"

This time Xingren interjected, " Yes, Grandma. Because of this, sister also fought with a girl yesterday and ruined her clothes and branded shoes."

" Hah! Ayo, Ayo, my head. This...This girl….How low can you go, huh?" Grandmother Gu held her head, while Xingren held onto her to support her. 

" What are you talking about? What did Xu Nuan do wrong?" Grandfather Gu questioned his wife, who in return passed him the phone to read it himself. 

" See it for yourself. You should know what wonders your dear granddaughter is doing."

-

Upon reading the post, Grandfather Gu's hands trembled in shock. This...who wrote such nonsense about Xu Nuan?

It's all a lie. She can't do such shameful things, he was sure of it. Cheating, sugar daddy...it was all just a rumor. Empty rumor. 

However, unlike him, other family members weren't thinking the same about Xu Nuan. Just like Grandmother Gu, Gu Zhang was also shocked.

  He didn't say anything for a while but he remembered Xingren's words. She has once told him that she is suspicious of Xu Nuan that she has cheated in the exams. So...is this post true? Otherwise, how can she get such high marks when she barely passed her high school exams?

  His jaw tightened as he glared at Xu Nuan, " What is all this? Is this all true? Did you cheat on the exam? Huh?"

" And what about Yuhan? Why is there a mention of Yuhan?" After saying this, he glanced at Xingren and saw her saddened expressions. She must feel betrayed since her sister's name was being used with her fiance`. 

  He sighed deeply, " I thought that you've changed but No. I was wrong. A girl like you can never change. You know you were a little likable when you used to be obedient. But now….Hah, I feel ashamed to call you my blood."

" GU ZHANG!!" Grandfather Gu scowled at his son, but the latter didn't listen to him. 

"Do you know how much this news is gonna affect our family's reputation?  Look at Xingren. She studies hard and excels in every exam with her hard work. Is it so hard to be like her? Can't you do the same? Huh?" This time, he couldn't hide his disappointment. 

For a moment, he thought that his father was right and it might not be a bad idea to announce that Xu Nuan is the daughter of the Gu family. But No. She doesn't deserve that. 

Lin Ran glared at Xu Nuan and passed a glass of water to Gu Zhang, " Drink water first. You shouldn't get stressed because of this brat."

Xu Nuan didn't say a word and watched them quietly. How interesting!

They were the same people, who never believed that Xingren can never push her on the road or do harm to her, but they all believed in an anonymous post and started accusing her of cheating and having a rich man by her side.

But….why isn't she surprised seeing their behavior?

-

Grandfather Gu took a deep breath as he turned to Xu Nuan and rubbed the back of her hand, his " Xu Nuan, don't worry. Your Grandpa believes in you. I know you cannot do such a thing. I will try to solve the situation. So..,.you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Nuan was moved by the old man's words. In this family, he is the only one who believed in her. 

However, before she could say anything, Gu Zhang interrupted, " Father, why are you helping her? If she has cheated in the exam, she should be punished. You should not encourage her and cover up for her."

" Gu Zhang, why are you-

Before the Old man could defend her, Xu Nuan said, " You're right. The one in the wrong should be punished. And I will make sure of it."

" What do you mean? Stop making puzzles and speak clearly." Gu Zhang said irritatedly. 

She leaned back and sat comfortably on the chair as she said, " Mr. Gu if you use a bit of your common sense, you will know that it is just an anonymous post, a rumor which has no truth to it."

" There are pictures of my high school report card and me hanging out with Yuhan and a rich man, but...how does it prove that I cheated in the exam? Huh? Is there a picture of me cheating in the exam or buying a question paper? Is there anything related to that?"

" I never thought that the Head of a big corporation would believe such rumors. Seems like, I thought too highly of you."

Gu Zhang pursed his lips but after a thought, he said, " What does it need to prove? It was obvious that you cheated since you cannot outdo Xingren in terms of her skills and hard work, at least not in this life." 

Xu Nuan scoffed at his words and said, " Then Congratulations Mr. Gu! Since it's my second life, I am fully capable of doing so. After all, your dear daughter almost killed me once." 

" I hope you haven't forgotten about that, Mr. Gu?"
