Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 203 - : Investigations



Chapter 203: Investigations

“Under what circumstances can a human cell regenerate? It really is so incredible and mysterious.” A girl suddenly exclaimed out in the laboratory.

Gu Xiqiao brought them over to a mannequin, taking out her set of gold needles from her pocket. “In theory and logic, it should be impossible. Have you learned the set of acupuncture methods that I gave you guys last time?” If it wasn’t for her profound chi and life force, it would have taken a very long time to treat Baili Bin’s legs.

“I have!” A boy squeezed himself in front immediately with excitement written all over his face. He had spent three days memorizing the acupoints, and he was sure that he hadn’t been this serious since the time he had to study for his national finals.

“Very good.” Gu Xiqiao smiled, her eyes curving. She handed a needle to the boy. “Show me how.”

Gu Xiqiao was leaning very close to him, and the boy could almost feel the warmth that radiated from her boy, as well as the long eyelashes on her eyelid when she lowered her head. He gulped, and took the offered needle from her. He looked at the pair of clear eyes that were on him, and he felt his nervous heart calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, he began to focus on the points to insert the needle.

The others who were around him couldn’t help but scream in their minds: Damn it! All of them had memorized that set of methods! Curse this preemptive asshole!

“When did they become so obedient?” Professor Jiang said, watching this scene with just a little sadness in his heart. “When I taught them this before, they didn’t look like they had much interest at all?”

Why was it when Gu Xiqiao threw it out casually, they were all so eager to learn it, and even did it in such a short time?

After Zhu Yuan sent a message off to Rong Feishuang, he gave a blank look to Professor Jiang and said, “Professor Jiang, just get used to it.”

The words that Professor Jiang had initially said to him were now being thrown back at him.

“Brother Jiang, I can’t leave anytime soon. Could you pick up Little Huazi?” Gu Xiqiao said as she managed to make her way out of the crowd, walking up to Jiang Shuxuan as she scratched her nose. “When you get back, we can go out for dinner together?”

Jiang Shuxuan lowered his head, staring at her flawless face for a long while before responding, “Then I’ll leave first. Stay further away from that person.”

Gu Xiqiao followed his gaze, and realized that he was looking at the boy who had been the first one to volunteer just now.

Gu Xiqiao: “…okay.”

At the time Jiang Shuxuan left, classes at A University had just let out. His build was tall and lean, with attractive features and an elegant pose. He was not the same as those warm guys that were popular, but he attracted tons of attention regardless due to his looks. In the past, not many dared to look directly at him, but today, a lot of people were staring openly at him. Not only that, there were many who were chattering when they caught sight of him.

“Look! That’s that asshole who stood beside Beauty Gu!”

“Did you see Beauty Gu’s gaze, it was so warm and gentle!”

Gu Xiqiao attracted a lot of fans, and there were some who posted a whole stack of photos in Weibo. ‘For A Millenium’ easily became a hot search topic again, and went on to the hot topic spot once again. Countless fans were jealous of the lucky man who had stood beside her.

Jiang Shuxuan browsed Weibo as he walked, the corners of his mouth curling up coldly as he saw the topics and discussions.

His car was parked by the school gates, and there was a familiar white shadow that caught his eye in a corner.

With a turn, he changed the direction and walked toward it.

Not far from the campus, Fu Xuejun watched the boy who was leading her around the campus bend down to pick up a snow-white dog. It was definitely not anything purebred, and she knew it was a mongrel at a glance. It definitely wasn’t a poodle, that was for sure. “Is this your dog?” she asked casually.

“It’s not.” The boy carefully picked up the dog and gave her a grin. “It belongs to Beauty Gu, I’ll send it up to her in a while… Haha, what happened to your leg?”

Before he could finish his words, he saw that Haha’s left front paw was bloodied.

Haha could feel that the person who had picked it up was not malicious, and it whimpered pitifully. Its big, beady eyes were damp and shining, and the boy felt his heart melt at the sight. “Haha, don’t worry, I’ll bring you to Beauty Gu right now!”

“Give it to me.” A shadow appeared above them suddenly, followed by a slightly muffled voice which had a tinged of coldness to it.

Fu Xuejun’s heart jumped at the voice, and she raised her head to meet a pair of black, onyx eyes. At this time, the sun had started to set, and the orange hues of the sunset seemed to leave his face glowing.

The dark eyes that seem like an abyss gave her a passing glance without any changes, and finally stopping on the dog that the boy held in his arms. He reached out to take the dog from him, and saw the blood on the dog’s leg. Jiang Shuxuan’s brows furrowed slightly at it, but he looked toward the boy and said faintly, “Thank you.”

Just as he turned around, Fu Xuejun suddenly opened her mouth, “Mister, your dog needs immediate treatment, otherwise it would be susceptible to an infection.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, her face a delicate picture and giving off a pretty demeanor. Such an image was easy to catch the attention of boys.

Haha immediately reached out to scratch Jiang Shuxuan’s sleeves, looking at him with a pair of accusing eyes. “Woof woof woof!” (If you dare to stop, our friendship ends here!)

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t stop, but his own jet-black eyes were looking at Haha. “Why did you come out, where’s Xixi?”

“Woof woof woof~” (Xixi went to find Beauty Gu.)

Naturally, Jiang Shuxuan didn’t understand what Haha said. However, it wasn’t like he had expected an answer from it anyway. He glanced at Haha’s leg, getting into the car. He then pulled out a bottle of medicine from nowhere, and he suddenly had a suspicion. Was Haha deliberately doing this to get attention from Gu Xiqiao?

She would be distressed when she went back to this after all.

***

Seeing the man ignoring her, Fu Xuejun didn’t have any visible reaction on her face. Instead, she became even more interested in him. “Senior, thank you for bringing me around today. I’ll take my leave first, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

The boy smiled at Fu Xuejun and nodded. “No worries, come earlier a little tomorrow.”

Fu Xuejun left A University back to her temporary accommodations. When they had returned this time, her mother had gotten a place to stay at a small community and was still tidying up at this time. She hadn’t wanted to stay with so many people, so she took her bags and booked a hotel instead, and would wait for her father to come and ask him to prepare another place for her instead.

In the hotel, she took a shower before settling down in front of a computer. As soon as she turned it on, someone video called her, and she picked it up after glancing at who it was.

A face with sharp edges appears on the screen. His eyes were icy blue like the sea, a shine in them. The bridge of his nose was high, and it was undoubtedly a very handsome face.

“You’ve returned to China?” The man’s face darkened.

Fu Xuejun lit a cigarette, taking a deep puff. She glanced at the man. “Do I need to report to you wherever I go?”

“Of course not.” The man quickly regained his bearings and adjusted his emotions. “Honey, didn’t you ask me to investigate your sister…”

“She’s not my sister!” Fu Xuejun interrupted before the man could finish his sentence, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes. She was already feeling contempt for a person who she had yet to meet. “Hurry up and send me her information.”

The man reached out a finger to his lips and chuckled. “Alright, but isn’t there something you should say to me first?”

Fu Xuejun rolled her eyes. “I’m hanging up.”

***

In England, Wanqi Jue’s eyes darkened as the call was cut. He took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing on it for a long while. After a long while, he chuckled to himself as he made another overseas call. “Murong Feiye, I’ll be returning tomorrow.”

Ptui!

Murong Feiye spat out the wine that he had been drinking after hearing those words. “Why, are you coming back to stir up more things?” As though there weren’t enough problems in the ancient martial arts world?

“Fu Xuejun has already gone back today,” Wanqi Jue said indifferently.

Murong Feiye couldn’t help the sneer that escaped his mouth when he heard this. “She came back, so now you’re coming back? I really didn’t expect that she’s still hanging onto you like this. Listen to a brother’s word, there is no tree worth hanging onto in a place that has no grass. Or you could inform her of your true identity, I guarantee you that she will run into your arms immediately!”

Wanqi Jue rubbed his temple somewhat frustratedly. “Murong.”

“Fine, I’ll not say anything more.” Murong Feiye also knew that he had crossed the line. He knew that it was complicated between Wanqi Jue and Fu Xuejun. “Then come back tomorrow, we’ll pick you up.”

After hanging up the call, Wanqi Jue snuffed out the cigarette in his hands, thinking of Fu Xuejun’s face in his mind.

He himself didn’t know why he had fallen for such a little girl, he had initially only wanted to help her in the beginning in order to repay her kindness. But when he went to Stanford University a few times to listen to her speeches, he had found himself taken in by her confidence and arrogance.

An extremely smart woman who didn’t lose to any man, a top student at Stanford University which was a top university in the world. She had created miracles one after another while she was in the university, and had even caused countless foreign men to bow down at her abilities.

Even he wasn’t spared by her.

The lingering smoke in the air had dissipated, and Wanqi Jue regained a smile as he called his subordinates to prepare for departure tomorrow. He also sent the information to Fu Xuejun at the same time.

He was initially surprised when he first received Fu Xuejun’s call, he didn’t know that she had an elder sister. When he started digging, he found that she was just an ordinary girl, and the most interesting was only that she was admitted into A University. Compared to Fu Xuejun who was in Stanford University, the two couldn’t be living in different worlds.

Fu Xuejun browsed through the documents quickly once she received it, and after reading it, the fear in her eyes disappeared slowly, followed by a light mocking laugh.

She had thought that someone of the Baili family would be something special, but it seemed like there was nothing to it.

[Beauty Qiao, there’s someone else who’s trying to access your information again.] The system suddenly said from the void space.

Gu Xiqiao was currently discussing the research plans with Zhu Yuan. Hearing this, her face had no visible changes as she asked, ‘Did you give it to them?’

[Of course not.] The system spirit said, a proud look on its face. [The earth’s entire internet is basically transparent in my eyes. I covered up all the turbulence you caused in the capital, all he found was just some things in N City.]

It was all a simple matter to let someone know what it wanted them to know, and what it didn’t want them to know.

Of course, provided it wasn’t Gu Xiqiao and Yu Ning.

Gu Xiqiao’s crazy powers aside, she didn’t imagine that even Yu Ning would be this scary.

This made the system even more worried about its position in the palace.

‘Not bad,’ Gu Xiqiao praised.

The little system was still extremely useful, and particularly in this area. It was the best method to control things on the internet, and if it wasn’t for the system, everything that she did would have been known across the country and she would probably be very famous from all of it.

Although, her fame now wasn’t that bad.

The system was naturally happy to be praised, but was still a little puzzled. [Beauty Qiao, Baili Bin has found out about your relationship with Baili Wenxi, and has also told Baili Qu.]

Thinking of the antiques that Baili Bin had given her the other day, her hands paused in what she was doing. “Who else did he tell?”

[No one else, even Baili Wenxi doesn’t know this.] The system replied immediately.

‘Alright.’ The indifferent expression still remained on Gu Xiqiao’s face.

Although she had once wanted to know who her biological parents were, a long time ago, after she had died once, she didn’t have the interest to find out anymore, even if the system could easily find the information.

The only thing she regretted was not being able to save Yu Man.

[Beauty Qiao, this group of people has also moved into your community area.] The system carefully observed Gu Xiqiao’s gaze. Although she didn’t look like she cared, the system spirit was extremely concerned about the matter, and that was the reason it easily decrypted the locked files and sent them to Tang Qingqiu.
