After reading the stack of materials Gu Xu prepared, Zhou Shitao finally believed that his own disciple was innocent.
However, Zhou Shitao still had so doubts, really, this kid looked too much like his disciple.
"The day you told you wanted to go to Dongyang as an exchange student, you were there for more than four months, nearly five months. I didn’t initially support your going; you insisted on it. Counting the ti, the appearance of this child is really too much of a coincidence."
"If this child is really yours, don’t hide it from your master. There’s no need to hide this. You and that Gu Family boy are already married now. Even if this child was born out of wedlock, it would be setting things right. Although it’s a bit out of line, it’s back on the right track. You don’t need to ss with things to fool us."
Zhou Shitao suddenly looked at Huo Sining and spoke.
Huo Sining imdiately understood what Zhou Shitao ant by these words; her master thought that when she went to Dongyang as an exchange student, she secretly went to give birth to a child?
Huo Sining felt a wave of disbelief, nearly fainting. She didn’t expect that just a five-month exchange program would lead to such a misunderstanding with her master!
"Master, what are you talking about? I really went to Dongyang as an exchange student. If I had been pregnant at that ti, I would have been four or five months along, right? At four or five months, it would definitely show, wouldn’t you see it? Besides, when Master Qin got sick later, I even ca back once. Did you forget? I also brought back so lost artifacts from the Dongyang National Museum, did you forget about this too?"
Huo Sining felt a bit speechless, she really admired her master’s imagination and ability to jump to conclusions.
Reminded by Huo Sining, Zhou Shitao rembered that when Qin Lianshan suddenly fell seriously ill, Huo Sining indeed returned to the country. That girl was lively at that ti, and she also brought back so fresh marine products from Dongyang, definitely not like soone who had given birth or was pregnant.
Realizing his mistake, Zhou Shitao’s face turned red in embarrassnt. He looked at Huo Sining awkwardly and coughed a few tis uncomfortably.
Ji Kun couldn’t help but chuckle, looking at his master’s eyes with a hint of exasperation. Master, how co you didn’t tell the little junior sister ca back, if I had known, there wouldn’t have been such a misunderstanding!
Zhou Shitao’s eyes carefully scanned the child, who was clinging to Gu Xu’s neck and covering his face with Gu Family’s boy’s saliva, and he finally believed that the couple truly adopted this child out of compassion due to fate.
"Alright then, we made a mistake. Since you’ve decided to adopt this child, you must take good care of her. You haven’t inford the Gu and Huang families yet, have you? If you are sincerely planning to adopt, you should notify both families early. Don’t wait for those idle dia to take photos and create baseless stories; you won’t be able to explain it then."
Recalling the tis Huo Sining was trapped by the dia due to the earthquake and Beast Head events, Zhou Shitao felt a surge of anger, still haunted by the experience, and couldn’t help but remind the two.
"I understand, professor, rest assured, there’s no need for Ningning to worry about this. I’ve already started preparing the follow-up arrangents; it will be resolved within these days without any issues."
Gu Xu nodded, saying.
Zhou Shitao, knowing Gu Xu’s usual steady and thodical ways, wasn’t worried. He looked at Gu Xu, seeing him in a state of distress, and then looked at the severely deford clothes rack he had dropped on the ground, feeling a bit embarrassed:
"Gu boy, the few hits I gave you were ant to teach you a lesson. Though Huo girl is not my biological granddaughter, I consider her as one. If you bully her and let her clean up your ss, next ti I won’t just use a clothes rack!"
Hearing these words, Ji Kun couldn’t help but secretly roll his eyes. His master was too prideful; even after making a mistake and hitting soone, he couldn’t bring himself to apologize. He said so much grandstanding just to cover up his embarrassnt.
Huo Sining also wanted to laugh, but seeing her master’s ears turn red, she held it in to avoid embarrassing him further.
Gu Xu, in the posture of a student being taught, sat upright:
"Professor, rest assured, Ningning marrying is already a blessing I’ve achieved over several lifetis. I absolutely won’t let her be wronged. If she ever suffers, you tell what to do, and I, Gu Xu, will comply without hesitation."
Zhou Shitao was satisfied with Gu Xu’s sensibility, nodding repeatedly: "I know a bit about the Gu Family’s traditions. If you speak like this in front of , I believe you’ll do it. Alright, since you’ve co all this way, Ji Kun and I won’t stay here to bother you. You two have a good ti. Huo girl, if there’s anything, let’s discuss it later over dinner."
Knowing her master wanted to discuss the Han Princess Tomb, Huo Sining nodded and said to Zhou Shitao, "Okay, we’ll tidy up here. I’ll call you later when we go out for dinner."
Zhou Shitao pulled Ji Kun out of Huo Sining’s room, and Ji Kun had already booked a suite online on the sa floor as Huo Sining’s room. The two picked up their luggage and walked straight to the suite.
Seeing her master and senior brother disappear at the end of the corridor, Huo Sining finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and turned around, glaring at Gu Xu:
"You scared to death! Why didn’t you notify in advance? If I had known you had prepared the adoption procedures, I wouldn’t have been so nervous!"
Gu Xu also felt innocent: "I just thought yesterday that it’s always good to be prepared. I didn’t expect your master to find out so quickly about this matter. I was almost caught off guard. Fortunately, your master called to Fucheng. anwhile, I got a call saying the adoption procedures were completed. I rushed to the airport while waiting for my friend to deliver these docunts, more nerve-racking than any high-level task I’ve ever taken."
Seeing Gu Xu still on edge, wiping cold sweat, Huo Sining couldn’t help but chuckle. Looking at the deford clothes rack Zhou Shitao had thrown on the ground, she felt another wave of anxiety and quickly moved closer to ask:
"Take off your clothes quickly. Let see if you got hurt? Don’t be fooled by my master’s age; he’s quite strong. He deals with antiques and tools all day, very dexterous, and hitting people really hurts!"
