News of the Transfer Leaked

Transfer News Leaks

"It's not what you think, Wanqing!"

Seeing that her best friend had misunderstood, Gu Lianyin hurriedly explained.

She told her everything that had happened not long ago, from beginning to end.

In fact, the two were close enough to share every secret.

Neither of them hid anything from the other.

"So you just let him hold your hand?!"

Ling Wanqing shook her head, looking utterly disappointed in her friend.

Gu Lianyin asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Wanqing? Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem. The problem is you. At this rate, in less than two months, Lin Yuan will be doing far more than just holding your hand!"

To keep her best friend, who had absolutely no dating experience, from being deceived, Ling Wanqing worried herself sick.

She warned her to have boundaries. Society was not as beautiful as it looked on the surface. Some people made friends purely for fun, while others juggled several relationships at once.

If she ever ran into someone like that, she had to stay far away, or she would not even know how she got taken advantage of.

Gu Lianyin quickly wrote it all down in her little notebook.

Then she found herself at a loss.

"What should I do next?"

Ling Wanqing thought for a moment. "Keep your distance. You can't hold hands again. Ask him face-to-face why he's pursuing you."

Ling Wanqing found it strange and still could not understand why anyone would pursue Gu Lianyin when she deliberately made herself look ugly.

If it was because Lianyin was rich and he had approached her on purpose... Lin Yuan had already proven with the one million he borrowed that he was not after money.

Besides, he had bought stocks with that one million and earned more than three hundred thousand for himself. Logically speaking, money was not the reason.

As for Lianyin, she always went to school in disguise and only removed her makeup after returning home. She was also a transfer student, and no one had seen what she originally looked like, so it was impossible for him to have seen through her disguise and approached her deliberately.

Then...

What was Lin Yuan after?!

After analyzing every possibility, Ling Wanqing suddenly frowned. She felt that she had found the answer!

"Lianyin, does anyone besides your parents know about your transfer?"

Gu Lianyin did not know why Wanqing was asking, but she nodded. "Other than my parents, I don't think anyone else knows."

Ling Wanqing looked thoughtful. "You should still confirm it. Call and ask whether they told anyone else about it."

She believed that Lin Yuan had likely known all along that Lianyin was disguising herself as ugly. He had deliberately not exposed her, because that made it easier for him to get close to her.

As for how he knew, someone had probably told him.

Gu Lianyin still called home.

She cared a great deal about this matter, since it concerned a major event in her life.

The call was answered quickly, and a bright male voice came from the other end.

"Why are you suddenly calling your dad?"

Gu Lianyin said sweetly, "Dad, I missed you, so I called."

"If you have something to say, say it. I'm busy."

"Okay, then I'll ask. Dad, does anyone besides you and Mom know that I transferred schools?"

The other end of the line suddenly fell silent.

Gu Lianyin had a faintly bad feeling. "Did you tell someone that I transferred schools?!"

The other party said, "Your aunt, third aunt, and second uncle suddenly asked about you. And your mom couldn't keep her mouth shut either, so we told them."

"What!"

Gu Lianyin's voice rose several decibels.

She quickly asked who exactly knew.

"Not that many people. Just your aunt, second and third aunts, eldest and second uncles, and a few cousins."

"That's not many?!"

Gu Lianyin was so angry that she hung up immediately.

She did not want people she knew to find out about her transfer. Once they told the people who had pursued her before, those people would definitely come looking for her.

Those people were not low-status either. Some were the sons of company executives, while others were the only sons of government officials...

Gu Lianyin had no feelings for them at all and found them unbearably annoying, which was why she came up with the plan to transfer schools.

Of course, Gu Lianyin also had relatives within the family who were on bad terms with her. Their parents' generation had formed grudges, and the younger generation had consequently become hostile toward one another as well.

That included her fourth uncle, eldest aunt, and third maternal uncle.

All sorts of disgusting little schemes emerged one after another.

Ling Wanqing knew about all of this too.

Ling Wanqing thought about it for a while, then looked at Gu Lianyin and slowly said:

"Do you think they might have secretly told Lin Yuan, letting him know that you were actually pretending to be ugly, and deliberately had him approach you?"

She knew all too well how ugly those relatives of Lianyin's could be. They were absolutely capable of doing something like that.

They might even have leaked the news to Lianyin's former pursuers, causing them to swarm over like sharks that had smelled blood.

Gu Lianyin's face grew paler and paler. She did not want to accept that possibility.

"Is it possible that no one told Lin Yuan anything, and he just wanted to do this himself?"
