Chapter 342: Acquire it For You to Play, How’s That?

“Right. Seems like her older brother asked her to leave.”

Gu Qian felt puzzled about that. When Qi Xiaoran came back to retrieve her stuff she happened to be around.

If Qi Xiaoran hadn’t wanted to pa.s.s a message on to Gu Qingjiu, she might not have spoken to Qi Xiaoran until then.

Upon hearing this, that pair of dark eyes surfaced in Gu Qingjiu’s mind.

Although Qi Yefan was handsome, he seemed to look at others—except for Qi Xiaoran—with a cold gaze.

If the Chief Instructor was considered cold, Qi Yefan was cold with a hint of sinister.

If it were someone timid, they would probably be scared if he stared at them.

Although she felt that Qi Xiaoran and her older brother seemed kind of odd, she didn’t wish to ask around about someone else’s matters for now.

She had her own matters to busy herself with.

Hence, she simply nodded and said, “Got it, thanks.”

“No need to stand in a ceremony.” Gu Qian waved a hand. “It’s just pa.s.sing on a message.”

As she spoke, she raised a brow and asked, “But Qingjiu, she merely caught a fever, why can’t she take part in the training?”

Could a fever be that serious?

This was Qi Xiaoran’s matter. She merely knew that Qi Xiaoran got injured. If she spoke carelessly, it might lead to more trouble if it caused nasty speculations and were spread out.

Hence, she pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile. “I’m not so sure. When I saw her running a fever this morning, I sent her to the infirmary. But I left because I had some matters to attend to afterward. By the time I came back, she was already asleep. I didn’t get to ask her anything.”

The school doctor would never tell the other students about such matters.

There were some students in the military school with secrets, to begin with, so it wasn’t uncommon to see someone with an injury like this.

“Oh.”

Gu Qian understood that Gu Qingjiu didn’t look like the sort of person who poked her nose into someone else’s affairs.

After nodding her head dazedly, she stopped asking about this matter.

Seeing that she had stopped asking, Gu Qingjiu prepared to go to the canteen to eat.

They served a rich variety of food in the university canteens, so life in the troops wasn’t too bad.

Holding her student card, Gu Qingjiu scanned her card for a bowl of beef noodles.

It was late at night, and looking at the wide variety of food before her, she had no idea what she should eat.

After slurping down her noodles, Gu Qingjiu returned to the hostel.

Gu Qingjiu still remembered the incident about the Yu family during the day, so when she got back she sat on her bed and looked up some information on her laptop.

There were indeed some traces of the Li family’s sickly son getting into a car accident.

The reason was that the arranged marriage between the Yu family and the Li family was considered a scandal involving two prominent families in North City. Hence, it wasn’t surprising that there were some gossipy people who were in the know. They exposed this matter just so that they could wait to see a good show.

News such as: Two prominent families in a certain city in trouble. The Yu family is facing bankruptcy and the two elders of the Li family suffering heart attacks upon learning their beloved son had pa.s.sed away.

However, as most netizens didn’t quite understand the matter between the Yu family and the Li family, they naturally didn’t pay much attention to it. When this Weibo was uploaded, only a few netizens left comments below.

And even then, they were meaningless ad-like comments.

This uploader…

Gu Qingjiu looked at the username of the uploader and saw that it was a random string of alphabets. One look and it was obvious to see that it was randomly chosen.

There wasn’t any meaning to it.

It was an unknown account, yet it exposed the Yu family and the Li family’s matte3?

She was engrossed in her speculations, when suddenly she received a text message from the Chief Instructor on her phone, the contents of which made Gu Qingjiu widen her eyes in disbelief.

—The Yu family, I’ll acquire it for you to play with, how’s that?
