Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 35: Reaction

The car stopped in front of the gates of First City High, and when Gu Xiqiao got off, Jiang Shuxuan reminded, "Remember to come back later."

Gu Xiqiao's steps paused for a moment, before turning around and waving at him in confirmation.

Seeing her figure disappear from his field of vision, Jiang Shuxuan leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes tiredly. He hadn't had even a wink of sleep the night earlier because he was tracking every trace of evidence he could get, from surveillance cameras to a video taken by a passerby. Now that things were finally in motion, he could rest.

At that moment, his phone rang again, and he was about to ignore it before he saw the person that was calling him, accepting the call and thanking the caller politely before hanging up.

The one that called him was the principal of First City High, and he was calling him to tell him about the matter of Gu Xiqiao's student status at the high school. The Gu family had acted quickly and gone through the procedures of converting Gu Xiqiao's student roll to another small town, and the principal didn't think of stopping them at the time. To his knowledge, the girl had done a great misdeed after all, and her grades were average, so there was no merit in leaving her in First City High.

But at the same time, the principal received a call from the mayor to talk with him about this incident, and later on the Wu family, Xiao family, and even the Yin family called him. The principal himself was the secretary of the municipal party, so he realized that there was more to this incident than he had initially thought.

Because of a single statement from this young man, all of the people that stood at the top of the social pyramid in N City called him to talk about this matter, and it was clear how great this Young Master Jiang's background was.

At the same time, the information that the Gu family had taken away were sent over to him by other sources, and as he compiled them he couldn't help but muse about how this seemingly normal illegitimate daughter had the support of the mysterious Young Master Jiang and many high-brows in N City. The Gu family had truly bet on the wrong daughter, but the principal didn't bother to remind them about this.

As for those people saying that she stole the oil painting, it only served to make the principal laugh. With such a background, it was extremely easy for Gu Xiqiao to get into whichever art exhibition that she wanted to, so why would she need to steal any paintings?

At the time that Gu Xiqiao returned to the school, three classes had already gone by, and when Gu Xiqiao arrived, Old Ban was coincidentally coming out of the class with a stack of papers.

He was stunned upon seeing Gu Xiqiao, and his first reaction was to drag her to the teacher's office to question her.

All of the students in the class watched as Old Ban led Gu Xiqiao away, and could only leave all of their gripes and complaints on their social media. Whenever they came across any posts that were throwing hate on Gu Xiqiao, they called argued with them like Gu Xiqiao was their idol.

These students were also checking on the broadcast of the press conference as classes went on, and the teacher acted like he didn't see them do so either. All of the students knew what happened, and they were all stunned by the outcome. It was completely unthinkable for Gu Xijin to do such a thing. Who would believe that the goddess of First City High was such a person?

And so they went through classes without focusing on the topic that was being taught, but thankfully the teacher didn't exactly seem to be focused on teaching, either.

When Gu Xiqiao returned to the classroom, the lively class was plunged into silence.

Gu Xiqiao glanced at them without saying a word, and placed her backpack on her desk and took out her papers as usual in preparation for the classes that were going to start later in the day.
