A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After saying this, Guier took the newspaper and walked to the seat in the library specially provided for students to read and sat down.

Seeing this, Zhou Huifang also started flipping through the newspaper, trying to find one to read. Guier secretly watched her expression. Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Huifang's expression became very solemn. She stood still, looking at the newspaper.

Guier knew that the effect had been achieved, so she began to read her newspaper with peace of mind.

The two did not return to the classroom until the bell rang. Zhou Huifang looked very depressed, as if she had suffered a major blow.

Gui'er felt a little sorry when she saw this, but if she tried to comfort him, she would be exposed, so she had no choice but to say, "Why do you suddenly seem unhappy? What happened?"

Zhou Huifang forced a smile and was about to speak when another classmate came over and asked, "Zhou Huifang, your new boyfriend seems to have made the headlines in those gossip magazines. Did you see it? I've got all the newspapers. Here they are."

This classmate was so gossipy that she actually brought her own newspaper to school. She simply turned the newspaper directly to the article reporting on Liang Guowei and pointed at it to show Zhou Huifang.

Zhou Huifang stammered and couldn't utter a word for a long time. Guier knew that a girl from a respectable family like her, who was also a schoolgirl, would definitely not know how to deal with such an embarrassing thing, and she didn't know where to start.

Guier said to the classmate, "That guy is just pursuing Huifang, but Huifang hasn't agreed yet."

The classmate said, "Oh, so that's how it is. You are so lucky." Then he felt it was boring and left.

In the following time, classmates came over from time to time, either asking indirectly or directly. Zhou Huifang could hardly bear the curious questions from her classmates, so she secretly ran outside the classroom to a secluded place and started crying.

Gui'er felt very sorry and quickly followed him out, saying to her, "Huifang, don't take it to heart. Aren't you and he just getting to know each other? You're not engaged, and you're not married. He did something so shameful, so just break up with him."

Zhou Huifang wiped her tears and said, "But I was engaged once before and broke off the engagement. Now it's like this again. I'm afraid others will criticize me. I should have listened to your advice earlier. How could such a playboy change his ways? He also picks me up at the school gate and takes me home every now and then in a very high-profile manner. Not only my classmates, but also our neighbors know about it. I don't know how to end it."

Gui'er said, "What's so difficult about this? He's just pursuing you, and you haven't accepted yet. You haven't even met his parents yet, so you're lucky to have discovered his true face so early. God is blessing you, you've avoided a disaster. Don't believe his nonsense about repenting in the future."

Zhou Huifang said, "Of course. How could I believe her?"

After school that day, as soon as he walked out of the school gate, Liang Guowei was standing in the middle of the road again, waiting for Zhou Huifang with a smile. When he saw Zhou Huifang coming out, he was about to go forward, but Guier and several classmates blocked his way. Zhou Huifang took the opportunity to get on a rickshaw and left.

Liang Guowei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to a few people: "Classmates, what's going on?"

Gui'er was too lazy to say anything. Another classmate, who was usually quite aggressive, said indignantly, "How dare you come to see Huifang? I'm warning you, never come to see her again. Your scandal has been reported in the newspapers. This is a girls' school, not a brothel. If you come here again, I'll report it to the school and have them kick you out."

Liang Guowei saw that she was serious and knew that she was not joking. He turned around and looked at Gui'er. Gui'er looked at him coldly without saying a word.

At this time, the teacher who was maintaining order at the school gate noticed the situation and walked up to ask, "What are you doing?"

Seeing an elder coming over, Liang Guowei could only walk away with a dark face.

After seeing him leave, Gui'er happily got on the rickshaw Ah Cheng had ordered and said to him, "Our plan was successful."

Ah Cheng smiled and said, "Miss, don't be too happy too soon. Maybe your troubles will be bigger than your classmates'."

Gui'er said disapprovingly, "Are you afraid he'll come after me for revenge? What evidence does he have to prove it was us? Besides, he did it so high-profile, the people in the brothel must have been eager to see him make a scene. We weren't there, and you probably didn't reveal your identity, so he wouldn't be able to find us no matter how hard he looked."

Back at the Sha residence, during dinner, Sha Yanyao suddenly said, "That classmate of yours named Zhou something? She's the daughter of my colleague Old Zhou, the niece of former Director Zhou. Is she still hanging out with Liang Guowei lately?"

Gui'er was stunned for a moment, then said with a guilty conscience, "I think there hasn't been any recently?"

Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "That's right. Such a shameful thing, Lao Zhou is so angry that he is going to die. If it weren't for the powerful background of the Liang family, he would have caused trouble for the Liang family. He is a civilian and has no responsibility for field work."

The lady asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Miss Tian smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Liang is too extravagant. He actually went to a prostitute and dressed up as a student, holding a party in the brothel. I'm afraid he went to my sister's classmate because of this habit."

The lady and Jinbao were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Seeing that Gui'er wasn't surprised, Sha Yanyao asked, "Do you already know?"

Guier nodded and whispered, "A classmate brought a tabloid to school today to show us."

Jin Bao's eyes widened as he asked, "What is it like?"

Before Gui'er could answer, Miss Tian spoke up, "Do you even need to ask? You should be most familiar with it. After all, you came from there."

Jinbao immediately lowered his head, looking like he was about to cry. This turned into a family conflict again. Sha Yanyao coughed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, said, "I'm full," and then left.

Gui'er was quite relieved. After all, Sha Yanyao was a spy. Even before he became a spy, his investigative ability was very strong. He could even assassinate Director Zhou, the head of the spy agency. If he continued to ask questions like this, Gui'er would have a hard time guaranteeing that he would not find any clues.

In the next few days, Liang Guowei never came to school again, and Guier thought that everything was finally calm.

As a result, when I returned to Sha Mansion from school that day, I saw Dingxiang coming to greet me as soon as I entered the door. She looked at Guier with a bad expression and signaled with her eyes.

Gui'er was feeling puzzled, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw Liang Guowei sitting on the sofa in the hall, with his legs crossed and smoking, chatting and laughing with Miss Tian and his wife.
