After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 129

Liu Ke looked displeased, but when she met Gu Jinhuai's cold eyes, she felt intimidated and began to lecture.

Gu Jinhuai's face was icy cold, and the temperature emanating from his body could freeze a person to death. Just his face alone made the female students present flutter with joy, and they had no time to listen to the lecture properly.

Seeing this, Liu Ke's eyes flashed with displeasure. Perhaps because Gu Jinhuai was there, the lesson was not going smoothly and some of the more outstanding students were getting impatient.

One of the students stood up and looked at Liu Ke, asking, "Senior Liu, the teacher has already covered what you're talking about before. When will you be teaching the new material?"

Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Ke, and a few classmates began to whisper among themselves. Indeed, this was what the teacher had mentioned before.

A girl sitting in the front row heard someone saying bad things about Liu Ke and stood up angrily, saying, "If you're so capable, why don't you go and learn it yourself?"

Suddenly, the girl's gaze fell on me, and a bad feeling flashed through my mind.

"Isn't there another teacher here? It's already the second day, and she still wants to get away with it and let Senior Liu teach by himself. Yesterday I saw Senior Liu cleaning the classroom by himself, and she didn't even help."

Instantly, because of what the girl said, everyone's eyes fell on me.

I looked at the girl in front of me. Ever since I came in yesterday, she and I have been at odds. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've met her.

I glanced at the list. Zhao Yufei was a name I didn't recognize. These days, freshmen are so arrogant, daring to offend strangers.

I stared at her calmly, and she flinched, unable to meet my gaze.

"First, Liu Ke and I are just collaborating. I teach the theory. Where were you yesterday when your senior Liu was going to switch classrooms to teach the practical class?"

Zhao Yufei, who was being publicly reprimanded, felt humiliated. Her eyes flashed with anger as she roared, "What does this have to do with me? Giving a lecture is a matter for the two of you. If you didn't coordinate well, that's your problem. What does it have to do with me?"

Zhao Yufei thought that speaking loudly was justified and tried to use her voice to cover up her panic.

"Okay, this is a problem between the two of us. We didn't communicate well, and I admit my mistake."

When I readily admitted my mistake, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Yufei's eyes, and the others looked at me with more kindness.

I changed the subject, staring sharply at her, and asked, "But why are you contradicting the other students? We come to school to learn. Since we're teaching old knowledge, what are the problems, classmates?"

"I……"

Zhao Yufei was speechless, while Liu Ke's face turned extremely ugly.

"That's right. Since Zhou was arranged by Teacher Wang, he must have his own strengths. Don't forget what the teacher said before: don't judge a book by its cover. Besides, yesterday's first class was supposed to be theoretical, but you insisted on going to the practical class, which made us go with you."

One of the girls was fiddling with her manicured nails, looking rather sarcastic.

"Zhao Jing, do you dare say you didn't go yesterday?"

Zhao Yufei was furious. Zhao Jing had never gotten along with her since childhood, and this time she had to criticize her in front of so many people. With a bang, she slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and glared at her angrily.

"The teacher is still here, and you're already throwing a tantrum, showing no respect for your elders. This isn't your home."

Compared to the volatile Zhao Yufei, Zhao Jing had a very stable temper. Looking at the angry Zhao Yufei, she looked at her like she was watching a clown.

"Alright, Zhou, you're upset that I took your class yesterday, so you'll be teaching today."

Liu Ke's face was frighteningly dark. He had just put away his textbooks and was about to step down from the podium when Gu Jinhuai, who had been watching the show, suddenly stood up and looked at him with a smile: "There are still twenty minutes until the end of get out of class. Are you planning to leave this job to a girl?"

"Oh... I see, you feel that this isn't a solution, so you want to escape."

The word "escape" was used cleverly. Gu Jinhuai's tone was light and casual, but each word felt like a slap in Liu Ke's face.

His face turned from white to blue, and finally to black.

"President Gu, I don't think I've offended you. You wouldn't have embarrassed me in public like this. If I did anything wrong before, I apologize to you."

As Liu Ke spoke, he bowed deeply to Gu Jinhuai. Gu Jinhuai's expression was indifferent, but his eyes gradually became sharp and fixed on him.

As soon as Liu Ke uttered those words, he became the victim, and those who didn't know the situation might have thought that Gu Jinhuai had bullied him.

What a cunning male green tea! This is the first time I've ever met one. I thought to myself.

I just stood there watching, wanting to see how Gu Jinhuai would handle it.

After a while, Gu Jinhuai slowly walked up to him. My heart jumped, fearing that Gu Jinhuai would beat him up without saying a word.

I instinctively walked towards him. Gu Jinhuai glanced at me, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I instinctively stopped and dared not move.

The students in the audience stared wide-eyed, eager to hear the gossip.

Before Gu Jinhuai could speak, Zhao Yufei, who was standing at the front, strode over and forcefully pushed me aside as she passed by, standing protectively in front of Liu Ke: "Who are you? Just because you provided money to the school, does that mean you can do whatever you want and bully people at will?"

I staggered, my pupils contracted sharply, and I instinctively protected my stomach.

Gu Jinhuai quickly reached out and put his arm around my lower back, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

I met his worried gaze and subconsciously shook my head.

Instantly, the temperature around him plummeted. Gu Jinhuai's sharp eyes were fixed on Zhao Yufei, a smile playing on his lips, but it looked chilling to onlookers.

"Who do you think you are, liking married men? Is that your upbringing? The Zhao family's manners are truly worrying!"

Gu Jinhuai's words were like needles, piercing Zhao Yufei's body one by one.

As soon as she said it, everyone present looked at Zhao Yufei with disdain, but even more so with surprise.

"I've never heard of Senior Liu getting married at such a young age."

"They kept it a secret for too long. Could it be that they're trying to have their cake and eat it too? I heard that ever since Zhao Yufei first met Liu Ke, she's been declaring that she's determined to win him over."

"Yes, yes, I know that too, and Liu Ke didn't object. If my wife knew this, she'd probably be furious. I never thought Liu Ke was this kind of person."

Zhao Yufei, who was standing to the side, listened to the discussion of those people. Her face was ugly and her eyes revealed panic, but she did not show any surprise.

It seems she already knew Liu Ke was engaged to Song Yuan, but she remained incorrigible.

I thought to myself: How interesting.

"What do you know? You believe whatever he says, you bunch of idiots."

Zhao Yufei was consumed by rage and hurled insults at all the students present without any regard for her image.

Just as the students were about to argue with Zhao Yufei, Gu Jinhuai's unhurried voice came again: "Since you have doubts about Zhou Nanzhi's teaching, then there's no need to continue. I believe the principal will give you a satisfactory answer."

As Gu Jinhuai spoke, he reached out and prepared to take me away.

Noticing my pleading look, he frowned, withdrew his hand, and walked straight outside.

I glanced at Liu Ke, who remained silent, and at Zhao Yufei's angry gaze, and then left.

As soon as I went out, Gu Jinhuai was waiting in the corridor. I looked back to make sure no one was there before quickly walking towards him.

"Would it be inappropriate for us to do this?"

If Teacher Wang knew this, she would be very upset, as she hadn't even completed the first task she was asked to do.

Teacher Zuo already valued Liu Ke, and now that she's been humiliated like this, if she knew I was the one who did it, she wouldn't even give me a pleasant look, let alone a good review.

Seeing me crying and making a fuss, Gu Jinhuai cupped my face in his hands and gently poked the corner of my mouth with his index finger.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you."

Gu Jinhuai chuckled, then pulled me along and we left the school in a seemingly dignified manner.

Fortunately, the students were in class at that time; otherwise, seeing this scene, I can't imagine what the rumors would have become.

Soon, the students dispersed, leaving only Zhao Yufei and Liu Ke in the large classroom.

Seeing Liu Ke's gloomy face, Zhao Yufei was scared, but she still mustered up her courage and stepped forward to comfort him: "Senior Liu, don't be angry. I'll teach Zhou Nanzhi a lesson for you."

The next moment, Liu Ke reacted, looked up, and his dark and sinister eyes became even more deathly, staring straight at Zhao Yufei, who felt her scalp tingle.

The man's voice was sinister as he asked, "You'll help me? How do you plan to help me?"

Zhao Yufei shrank her neck and said with a smile, "She slandered you like that, of course she has to teach her a lesson. Don't worry, I have a way."

Suppressing a flicker of fear within her, Zhao Yufei patted her chest and made a promise.

"Okay, but if you don't satisfy me, I'll be very angry."
