First chapter.

Didn’t notice…
Lin ngran and Yang Xiaoli stared at Chuxia, completely speechless. Could she be any more confused? Of course, they knew she hadn’t noticed, otherwise, they wouldn’t have bothered stopping her to talk about this. But could her reaction be any more normal? She could still laugh, unbelievable…
Li Xinli and Wu Jingbo’s expressions were slightly better than Lin ngran and Yang Xiaoli’s, but they still looked utterly defeated. It was truly the first ti they’d seen soone so indifferent to rumors.
“Don’t have that look on your faces…” Chuxia smiled sheepishly, “You know I’ve been busy lately, I really didn’t notice these rumors, I’m not pretending.”
“We’re not saying you’re pretending, the problem is…” Lin ngran looked at her with a conflicted expression, “The problem is, can’t you react a little more normally? Do you really not care what others say?”
“Huh?” Chuxia finally realized the true reason for everyone’s surprise and smiled apologetically, “My mind was wandering a bit, so I didn’t think in that direction.
To be honest, I can’t say I’m completely indifferent, but I can’t explain these things one by one. Besides, people might not listen even if I do explain.
Zhou Mikang is on a mission, so it’s impossible to have him show up to prove I’m married, so let people say what they want. The truth will co out eventually.
If you hear gossip, don’t get upset. Everyone knows we’re good friends, and if you don’t explain, maybe they’ll talk less. If you do explain, they’ll think you’re hiding sothing.”
Lin ngran rolled her eyes at her, “Blaming us for ddling?”
“Look at you, wrongly accusing ?” Chuxia showed a helpless face, “You know that’s not what I ant. I just don’t want you to get upset over this.”
“By the way, there’s soone who’s been helping explain for you, and it has so effect…” Li Xinli looked at Chuxia seriously, “Can you guess who it is?”
“Fang Xiang?”
“Yes, it’s her,” Li Xinli nodded, “Because she did sothing wrong to you before, now she’s speaking for you, and people believe her.
So, I think we shouldn’t be too pessimistic about this. Everyone should ignore it, and gradually it’ll die down. People might even believe what Fang Xiang said.”
“Actually, there’s a very simple solution: have soone from your husband’s family and the school leaders address it, let the school announce it, and there will be no rumors anymore.
If you think only ntioning your case is sudden, the school leaders could find an excuse to publish a list of married people; as long as your husband’s family steps in, the school leaders would cooperate.”
This suggestion naturally ca from Yang Xiaoli. With most of her family involved in politics, she was influenced from a young age and tended to think of shortcuts in problem-solving.
“It’s not necessary…” Chuxia waved her hand and smiled at them, “These rumors are widespread because so people are deliberately doing this. The reason they’re targeting is simple.
Originally, I was a recomnded student, and everyone looked down on . Then I got top grades in exams several tis, which was like a slap in their faces. How could they be happy?
So now, they have an opportunity to satisfy their desire to see a joke. And those who join in spreading unfounded rumors, are they really misled?
Anyone with a brain would understand, at my age, if I really were pregnant out of wedlock, would the school let stay here? No matter how broad-minded my parents are, they wouldn’t accompany here after such a mistake, right?
Why would everyone believe sothing that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny? And last ti, Zhou Mikang ca to the school to find , and many people saw him. Why does everyone choose collective amnesia when it cos to his appearance?
I’m not trying to think the worst of people, but what they’ve done makes have to. So, I’ll just let them satisfy their gossiping minds.
Eventually, when they get tired of it, when it’s not fun anymore, they’ll stop. If my husband’s family really ca to clarify this, it would seem like I cared too much.
People who focus their efforts here aren’t going to achieve much; let them be smug, and soday they’ll regret their misplaced priorities.”
When Chuxia wasn’t saying anything, they hadn’t really thought about it. Recently, they were just busy being angry, blaming others for not discerning right from wrong. But upon reflection, isn’t there sothing odd here?
“Let them be smug…” Lin ngran looked unwilling, “It’s too easy for them, and in the future, when we graduate and get assigned jobs, what loss will they suffer?”
“What can I do?” Chuxia spread her hands, “Find and expel everyone who slandered ? If we really did that, probably a third of the students would be expelled, right?”
“Do you really not care at all?” Yang Xiaoli looked at Chuxia in disbelief and asked.
“What do you think?” Chuxia rolled her eyes, “When others badmouth , I’m not going to be all smiles about it, but I just think there’s no need to fuss with them.
Besides, everyone’s jealous of my privileges already. If I stir up a fuss, sure, they might be frightened on the surface, but behind my back? After graduation when we’re finding jobs, I’d beco famous. Being a celebrity is annoying, don’t you know?”
What was initially a serious matter beca less rigid as Chuxia jokingly ntioned it, and the expressions of a few people originally with stern faces started to relax. Thinking it over, it made sense.
What people envied most about Chuxia was her being a guaranteed student, having good looks, great grades, and the privilege to go ho every day. If she used her power to clear up rumors, it would spawn another kind—that she was incompetent and completely relied on family influence.
Although such rumors would eventually collapse on their own over ti, having extra resistance wherever one went wasn’t exactly a pleasant thing.
After mulling it over, a few people realized that their ideas weren’t all that great. But still, letting it slide felt unsatisfying. What should be done?!
“Enough, stop fretting. Elder Qi is on duty tonight, after dinner I need to head to the hospital, so I’m leaving first.” Chuxia waved them off and turned to leave, while Wang Zhongliang, who was standing at a distance, quickly followed her.
“What do we do?” Lin ngran looked at Yang Xiaoli for advice.
“Ignore it!” Yang Xiaoli sighed and looked at a few people, “The youngest is right. If we acknowledge them, they won’t even rember their own nas. Let them say whatever they want, one day, they’ll face the consequences.” As she spoke, she beckoned with her fingers and lowered her voice, “Not dealing with it doesn’t an we can’t keep tabs. When the Division Commander returns, hehe…”
“Brilliant, really brilliant!” Lin ngran gave her a thumbs up, “Lucky for us we’re friends, because if I was your enemy, I’d really just curl up in a corner and cry.”
Yang Xiaoli laughed and put her arm around her shoulder, “It’s not too late to recognize my prowess. Consult with more in the future, listen to my advice, and you won’t suffer.”
“Absolutely.” Lin ngran nodded earnestly, “In this regard, I’m way behind you, so of course I need to learn well from you, and definitely won’t let Lin ngye succeed.”
…
“…You get out!”
“Why should we get out? You’ve treated people into this state, and you tell us to leave. Tell , do you have any dical ethics at all?”
“Out!”
“No way, unless you give us an explanation, we’re not leaving. Just because you’re old doesn’t an you can act like the Empress Dowager. We’ve paid money!”
“Out!”
“Can’t you say sothing else? Is ‘out’ the only word you know? Would you be at a loss for words like this if you weren’t guilty? I tell you, it’s not going to end this easily.
If it weren’t for your big na and reputational skills, would we bring our patient to you for treatnt? Turns out you’re just a fancy pillowcase.
Instead of being a good doctor, you’re busy with foolish superstitions. I tell you, either you save my daughter Qiao’er, or you take your clothes off and get out of the hospital!”
“…”
From a distance, Chuxia heard the commotion coming from Elder Qi’s office and quickened her pace. Wang Zhongliang hurried after her, “Young Mistress, don’t rush in. Let check it out.”
“I’ll go with you. With you protecting , it’s fine…” As she spoke, Chuxia quickened her pace, because it seed like a scuffle had started inside.
Unable to do otherwise, Wang Zhongliang had no choice but to stick close to her, guarding her.
In the room, an elderly couple in their sixties and another couple in their forties were pushing Elder Qi around. “Stop!” Chuxia shouted, without getting too close, and instructed Wang Zhongliang beside her, “Uncle Wang, bring Elder Qi over to .”
“Who are you?” The woman in her forties eyed Chuxia, her brows furrowing. “Do you know what’s happening, yet you co to ddle?”
“I might not know what’s happening, but I do know you’re bullying a highly respected doctor,” Chuxia’s face tightened, “Even if there is a disagreent, you should sit down and talk it out. What does it an to manhandle an elderly person in their sixties?”
“If your brother were killed by treatnt, would you still talk like that?” The man in his forties glared at Chuxia with hatred, “I detest busybodies. If you weren’t a woman, I’d have kicked you out a long ti ago!”
At this mont, Wang Zhongliang had already escorted Elder Qi to Chuxia’s side, placing the two behind himself. “Teacher, what’s going on?” Chuxia turned her head to ask Elder Qi.
“t soone unreasonable,” Elder Qi calmly looked at her, “Don’t think that just because you acted in ti, I’ll take you as a disciple!” (To be continued.
