Chapter 347: Persistent Huo Xiuyuan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The word ‘shame’ seemed to be nailed onto Feng Xinyao’s body.
No matter where she went, it could follow her like a shadow.
“Feng Xinyao, the counselor is looking for you,” a girl said reluctantly as she walked up to her.
Feng Xinyao’s heart tightened, and she subconsciously felt afraid. Her intuition told her that the counselor was looking for her because of what happened on the forum.
However, she still had to go.
Under everyone’s gazes, she knocked on the door of the counselor’s office.
“Come in.” A female voice sounded from inside.
The instructor was a woman. She had a strong personality and was strict with her students. She hated problems.
Feng Xinyao walked in and sat down in front of the counselor, enduring her disdainful gaze.
The instructor sat behind her desk with her hands in front of her chest and her fingers crossed. Her expression was unprecedentedly serious.
“Student Feng, you should know why I’m looking for you, right?” the instructor asked.
Feng Xinyao pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should shake her head or nod.
However, the counselor continued, “The incident on the forum has already caused a very serious impact.”
“I don’t mean to comment on your personal problems, but as a student—”
“They were the ones who spread the rumors on the forum!” Feng Xinyao quickly retorted.
She tried to defend herself. “Those things—”
“It’s very impolite to interrupt someone, Student Feng.” The instructor frowned.
Under her sharp gaze, Feng Xinyao shut her mouth.
The counselor was no longer in the mood to continue and said bluntly, “Whether it’s true or not, the impact has already been caused. The school will help settle the matter on the forum. I’ve already communicated with your father. There won’t be any punishment this time.
But if such a problem arises again, it will be dealt with as an expulsion.”
After all, Hui University did not want such a student.
In just a few days, Feng Xinyao had gone from being the school belle that everyone liked to a huge joke.
Feng Xinyao did not understand how things turned out like this.
She walked out of the office in a daze and avoided the students with a frown.
She found a quiet corner and sat down.
Ridicule, revocation, humiliation…
All of this should belong to Murong Qiao. Why should she bear it?
If she hadn’t pushed her back then, how could she have ended up like this?
Feng Xinyao bit her lower lip in hatred. She felt that Murong Qiao deserved to die, and she was especially indignant.
Indeed, when she drugged her, she should have been more ruthless and let her die.
“Look, that’s Feng Xinyao.”
“As expected, she has a seductive face…”
The girls’ words fell into her ears.
She lowered her head reflexively and avoided those gazes in fear. She secretly hated Murong Qiao even more.
If it wasn’t for her, how could she be made to bear all of this?
Feng Xinyao was angry and scared, so she went to apply for sick leave, planning to go home and hide for a few days before coming back.
However, as soon as she walked out of the school building, she saw a familiar figure and stopped.
Huo Xiuyuan?
It was morning, and most of the students were slacking in the classroom.
One lesson took up the entire morning. In the middle, there was only a ten-minute break for the students to rest.
A girl walked to Murong Qiao’s side. “Murong Qiao, someone is looking for you outside.”
“Who?” Yang Xin asked.
The girl was confused. “He said his surname is Huo and he’s holding a bouquet of roses.”
As soon as she said this, everyone had an unspoken mutual understanding. School Hunk Huo must have come to look for her.
Murong Qiao thought so too. She stood up. “Thank you for telling me.”
After thanking the girl, Murong Qiao walked out in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, the person waiting for her outside was not Huo Yichen, but the persistent Huo Xiuyuan.
When Murong Qiao saw that it was Huo Xiuyuan, her expression turned cold and she was about to turn around and leave.
“Young Miss Murong!” Huo Xiuyuan was prepared and blocked the way.
He smiled and said, “Why are you leaving the moment you see me? Are you angry because of what happened before?”
The moment he approached, the fiery red rose fragrance in his hand assaulted her face.
However, Murong Qiao only felt nauseous. Her expression seemed to be frozen, and the light in her eyes was cold and clear.
“I still have class. Please move aside.” Murong Qiao frowned.
She didn’t know how the other party got her information. Seeing that the other party was so difficult to deal with and had even followed her to school, Murong Qiao even wanted to take out her cell phone to call the police.
Huo Xiuyuan had his usual annoying smile on his face. “I just want to express my feelings. Young Miss Murong, you can’t possibly ask me to stop pursuing the person I like, right?”
Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to listen to his dignified excuse. She only felt that it was unlucky.
“Of course, I have no intention of delaying your class. Take this bouquet of roses. I’ll leave now.” Huo Xiuyuan took a step back.
Some things could not be rushed. In any case, Huo Yichen was probably busy with the company now. After the failed drugging last time, Murong Qiao’s vigilance needed time to wear down. Huo Xiuyuan boasted that he had the patience to wait.
Murong Qiao glanced at the time. Class was in five minutes. She didn’t have time to waste with Huo Xiuyuan.
However, she knew the other party’s shameless personality too well, so her gaze landed on the bouquet of bright and beautiful roses.
Feng Xinyao, who was not far away, saw the two of them.
Seeing Murong Qiao being lured out by Huo Xiuyuan to deliver roses, the unwillingness in her heart intensified.
Why was she still fine?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In her heart, she felt that Murong Qiao should not get to live well if she couldn’t have a good life.
Feng Xinyao narrowed her eyes with a vicious glint. She suddenly took out her phone and opened the camera interface, zooming in on Murong Qiao and Huo Xiuyuan.
Neither Murong Qiao nor Huo Xiuyuan noticed it. At this moment, Huo Xiuyuan looked at Murong Qiao and thought that she had become enlightened and wanted to accept the flowers.
“Sure, move aside first. I’ll accept this flower,” Murong Qiao said first.
Huo Xiuyuan moved to the side as instructed and made way for the door with a satisfied smile on his face.
As long as Murong Qiao was sensible, it was not like he couldn’t be gentler to her. Huo Xiuyuan even began to plan his future development in his heart. He was simply delighted.
However, in the next second, Murong Qiao took the roses as he had wished. Before Huo Xiuyuan could be happy for a while, she turned around and threw the roses into the trash can beside her.
Her movements were clean and smooth. Clearly, she had thought of throwing it before she spoke.
Huo Xiuyuan’s face was still filled with joy, but he was stunned. His expression was interesting.
Murong Qiao even clapped her hands to remove the non-existent dust. A cold smile appeared on her face.
“I’ve thrown away the trash for you. Goodbye.”
With that, Murong Qiao entered the building without looking back.
Only Huo Xiuyuan, whose face was ashen, was left standing there like a clown.
This exciting scene was also recorded by Feng Xinyao with her phone.
Her photography skills had always been very good. The photo she took was of Murong Qiao taking Huo Xiuyuan’s roses. At a glance, it looked like a confession.
It was filled with ambiguity.
Feng Xinyao’s embarrassment from the past few days was swept away. The corners of her lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
Previously, she had failed to drug her, but this was another opportunity to destroy her relationship. Now, it was delivered to Feng Xinyao’s hand.
Hence, she changed her original plan to go home. She looked at the photo on her phone and turned to walk away.
That was the direction of the finance department.
What would Huo Yichen think if he saw this photo?
She was looking forward to it..
