Chapter 13 Seized Her Heart

Gu Xi had to attend class today. After all, she was only in her second year of university. Ever since she got married to Xing Beiyan, she never went back to university out of shame. However, skipping class was out of the question at this point. She had to go back to campus. If she did not, how was she supposed to get her revenge against that girl? ‘I must regain everything I’ve lost!’ Gu Xi hid the coldness in her eyes and hurriedly got up to wash her face and rinse her mouth. “Young Madam.” Butler Wang came forward to welcome her politely and respectfully as soon as she went downstairs. “You’re planning to go out?” “Yes! I’m going to campus. Where’s… Young Master Xing?” When Gu Xi looked around and did not see him, she felt somewhat disappointed but figured that, at this time, he should be already at work. “Young Master has gone to the company.” Butler Wang seemed rather astounded to hear her say that she was planning to attend class. Gu Xi nodded and carried her backpack while saying, “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to send me to campus.” She walked out of the house immediately after she finished speaking. Butler Wang did not even manage to ask her to have breakfast first. Ever since she was young, Gu Xi had always been poor at her studies because of her mischievous nature. Had Gu Tianxiang not been paying for her university fees for the sake of his reputation and prestige, given her academic performance, she would have dropped out a long time ago. Her arrogant and overbearing ways formed a strong contrast to Gu Xue’er’s smart and lovable personality. Therefore, whether in school or at home, Gu Xi always had a rotten reputation! In the eyes of others, she was just a pretty face with no capabilities whatsoever. Anyway, it was Madam Gu who had instilled these bad habits in Gu Xi as a child. Indeed, Madam Gu had gone to great lengths for the sake of her daughter! Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the main entrance of Snolia Elite University. Although the Gu Family Group was just a normal company in H City, Gu Tianxiang was someone who cared a lot about his reputation, so he sent the Gu sisters to elite schools with the hope that they could befriend and cozy up to the children of rich families. In doing so, he would be able to gain some benefits too. At first, she could not have entered this university. However, after receiving pressure from her mother’s family, Gu Tianxiang had no choice but to send her here too. Since Gu Xi got in through the back door, her reputation had, from the start, been quite bad. Additionally, Gu Xue’er kept intentionally and unintentionally going behind her back to discredit her, which made things completely hopeless. Her maternal grandfather had once been a leader and was close friends with Xing Beiyan’s grandfather. That was how she knew Xing Beiyan from childhood. However, after he went overseas, she never saw him again until much later when she was suddenly forced to marry him, which completely ruined whatever faint memory she had of him. Gu Xi was also very fortunate to have such an influential grandfather helping her from behind the scenes. Otherwise, the university would not have been willing to accept her no matter how much money Gu Tianxiang offered them. “Thank you, Butler Wang. You can head home first. You don’t have to come and fetch me in the afternoon. I can take a taxi home by myself.” “Understood, Young Madam!” Butler Wang could not shake off the feeling that she had changed. Previously, Gu Xi would usually hold her head high and treat him with disdain. She had never been so polite to him before. After she had walked some distance away, Butler Wang finally recovered from his surprise and took out his phone to give Xing Beiyan a call. Once she entered the campus, Gu Xi looked around absentmindedly. This place felt familiar and unfamiliar to her at the same time. She never focused much on her studies, because it was at this university that she met the most handsome boy on campus. The moment she saw him, that good-looking and attractive boy seized her heart. From then onward, she existed solely to bring him food and gifts every day and kept trying to please him like a starry-eyed, infatuated fool. Han Lei never rejected her but never responded to her advances either. Gu Xi thought she was special to him until, in the end, she came to realize that she was nothing at all.
