Chapter 31
Gu Zhou didn’t shake hands with Wang Shuo. Instead, he turned to gaze at Qiao Nian gently, speaking in a low voice. “If you need anything in the future, just ask for my help directly. It’s useless to ask these shady people for help. After all, they clearly can’t understand people of high intelligence, like you.”
Hearing Qiao Nian’s words, Teacher Liu nodded in understanding. Although he was getting old, he knew that young people nowadays would typically register their marriage before holding a wedding. It was different from Teacher Liu’s era.
Actually, Teacher Liu was aware that her family had locked her up in the mental hospital on purpose. He would often send her lesson materials, and meticulously answered any questions she had regarding medicine.
Su Yan’s face turned paler and paler. He wanted to seize the opportunity to retreat quietly from the scene, but there were many people standing behind him. He had no choice but to stand still.
Gu Zhou had asked other people to investigate the relationship between Qiao Nian and Teacher Liu. Seeing that they had nothing to do with the rest of those people, he was relieved.
Su Yan recalled how he had insulted Qiao Nian over and over again. His father had repeatedly exhorted him to get along well with the Gu family, but now, he had offended Qiao Nian.
When Teacher Liu saw that the troublemaker had left, he smiled at Qiao Nian and said, “That annoying little girl has finally left. The entire hall has finally quietened down.”
“Is that so?” Gu Zhou gave Zhou Xue a cold glance, then spoke to Chen Qing, who was standing not far away. “There seems to be something wrong with this lady. Take her away.”
Zhou Xue had never seen Gu Zhou before, so she naturally didn’t know who Gu Zhou was. She only felt that this man had a foul aura around him. Frowning, she stepped forward.
In fact, among everyone present, Qiao Xin was the one who was most upset. She looked at Qiao Nian in utter shock. She had never expected Gu Zhou to stand up for Qiao Nian.
“Honey, why didn’t you just tell me that you wanted to work in a laboratory? We can just build a laboratory.” Gu Zhou gazed at Qiao Nian dotingly, his voice gentle.
“I am Wang Shuo. I thank the Gu family for investing in this research project.” Wang Shuo smiled eagerly and extended a hand to Gu Zhou, wanting to shake his hand.
After a while, Gu Zhou brought Qiao Nian out of the banquet hall. Seeing that Qiao Nian was still holding her PhD diploma, he said, “Your mentor likes you a lot.”
By her side, Su Yan was staring at Gu Zhou in shock, his lips pressed together. He had made a mistake. He had never expected Qiao Nian to marry Gu Zhou.
Qiao Nian, too, was privately stunned. She didn’t know why Gu Zhou had changed so much. In the past, Gu Zhou didn’t even want to interact much with her.
Qiao Nian did not receive any response from Gu Zhou. She smiled and said to him, “Don’t worry, I’ll continue to treat your illness after the divorce.”
