Sun Jiajia blinked at Gu Xiqiao incredulously, as if the very notion of her having his phone number offended her. "Are we just supposed to believe you when you say that it's his number?"

She didn't know Zhu Yuan personally, and the two of them hadn't even spoken even so much as one sentence with each other. It was just a coincidence, that day when her coursemates saw them in close proximity of each other and mistook them for being acquaintances. When she was asked whether she knew him, she nodded for some reason that she didn't know herself, but it was true that anyone who lies would have to cover up their lies with many more.

And so the entire thing snowballed until she didn't know how to deal with it anymore, and so she could only have everyone wait here at the entrance. Wouldn't Zhu Yuan leave through this route after he finished his speech?

Her prediction proved to be wrong when they stood here for an hour and only saw Gu Xiqiao.

She had already planned to say that Zhu Yuan was busy-No one knew him personally after all, but she hadn't expected Gu Xiqiao to step in.

She heard that Zhu Yuan had just come back from abroad, and to her, the world outside the borders of China was too far away and too alien to her, so she thought that of course, Gu Xiqiao wouldn't know Zhu Yuan either, and must be here just to call her bluff and humiliate her on purpose!

She looked at Gu Xiqiao's orbs that seemed to be able to peer into her very soul, and she stood there undecided on what she should do.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Xiqiao only smiled and looked at the other. "Go back, everyone, the sun is blistering hot at this time of day. Especially you girls, do you want to get sunburn? Zhu Yuan hasn't left the school yet, and he's probably going to stay here for another couple of days, so if you guys really want to meet him that much I would say the best option is to butter Professor Jiang up."

Between the two girls, the others definitely believed Gu Xiqiao more. Her popularity in A University couldn't be surpassed at the moment, and it could be seen by how only posts about her stayed on the front page of the school forum when all the others were pushed down by news of Zhu Yuan's speech.

They were already quite dubious about Sun Jiajia's claims that she knew Zhu Yuan as she didn't have particularly good grades nor a high status or background, but they had wanted to meet him in person so much that they didn't want to let go of even the bleakest opportunity.

Now that Sun Jiajia's lies were exposed, they all looked at her with varying expressions wordlessly before bidding Gu Xiqiao farewell.

"Hey, let's go back and butter Professor Jiang up!"

"Nah, we're not Beauty Gu, after all, I'm scared that he might throw a bunch of thesis papers onto us..."

"Well it'd be better than staying here, my skin is almost going to peel!"

Some of the girls in the group came here in a rush, so they didn't bring umbrellas to shield them from the ruthless sun rays, and they all looked at Sun Jiajia thoughtfully.

If she planned to have them all stand here in the sun on purpose, then she was a truly frightening person...

They had to make sure not to get involved with her in the future!

Sun Jiajia had never been stared at with such gazes. Back in her hometown, she was the smartest student in her school, and even the local news interviewed her, but here in A University she was outclassed in every single way, especially by Gu Xiqiao that was like an indomitable mountain blocking her way, and with her only edge in terms of grades gone, she was ignored and given the cold shoulder.
