My Evil Genius Wife

Mr. Wen was speechless when he heard Gu Zhang's ignorant words. How come he never knows anything about his daughters? 

Even the last time, it was him, who informed him about the scholarship results that it was not Xingren who got the scholarship but Xu Nuan. 

How come they think too lowly of Xu Nuan? She is a genius and yet they treat her like a fool. 

" Erm..Mr. Gu seems like you've misunderstood. I am not talking about Xu Nuan but Xingren. Looks like you aren't aware of the situation going on right now. I'll send you a link, just check it out and then you'll know everything." Mr. Wen said while trying to be as understanding as possible. 

With Xingren's personality, there is no way she will tell them the truth and what happened on the forum page. But as her parents, they need to know the truth. At least, this was the least he could do for her to get her on track. 

-

Gu Zhang frowned. He was confused and wondered what he meant that he didn't know the ongoing situation. What's going on exactly?

Gu Zhang was staring at his phone in a daze when he heard Grandfather Gu say, " Gu Zhang, what did he say? Why do you look so confused?"

Gu Zhang looked up and said, " He...said that he wants us to look at something."

" Look at something? Like what?" 

Gu Zhang shook her head in a daze and said, " I don't know. He...he will send the link in a while. Let's see what he has to show."

--

After Mr. Wen sent the link, Gu Zhang brought his laptop and opened the link on it for everyone to see. 

The first link he opened had the video, in which Xu Nuan answered the questions of the Professors. Grandfather Gu was surprised to see his granddaughter answering those questions calmly and this made him feel even more proud of her. 

Gu Zhang and Grandmother Gu were shocked and couldn't digest the fact that Xu Nuan didn't cheat in the exam but cleared it on her own. They never had these kinds of expectations from Xu Nuan. 

Gu Zhang was surprised and confused at the same time. 

How can that be possible? Wasn't Xu Nuan terrible at studies? 

" See? Didn't I tell you that Xu Nuan cannot do something like that? But you never believed me and were speaking nonsense." Grandfather Gu scoffed at the mother and son duo. 

Gu Zhang pursed his lips in embarrassment and to hide his shame, he opened the other link that Mr. Wen has sent. However, when the audio clip played, a suffocating silence followed in the room, while the only sound in the room was the conversation in the clip. 

After the clip ended, Gu Zhang was confused. What...just happened? Did he hear it right? 

" Isn't it Xingren's voice? Why was it there? Why is it on the internet? Are you saying that this conversation was posted on the college's forum page?" Grandmother Gu exclaimed in shock. What in the world….

The reputation of the Gu family has been ruined completely. Although Grandfather Gu has already revealed to everyone that it was Xingren, who ordered someone to hurt Xu Nuan. And Xingren has been punished for this mistake by Gu Zhang when Grandfather Gu made a big fuss about it, but how can it be on the internet? 

It was their family matter that they have already resolved, then why….

On the other hand, Grandfather Gu's expressions became two shades darker. " So...Xingren is the one who made that post about Xu Nuan and humiliated her publicly?"

Grandmother Gu pursed her lips upon seeing her husband's dark expressions, " You...you need to calm down. Think about it, Xingren must be so upset right now."

" Although she has been punished for this mistake, now everyone in the college knows about it. Rather than getting worked up, we need to find a way to solve this issue."

Grandfather Gu shrugs his wife's hand and scowls at her, " Zou Ling, don't you have any shame? You have two granddaughters, how can you be so biased? You were ready to disown Xu Nuan for cheating in the exam and even after knowing that this whole rumor was started by Xingren, you want to find a way to solve this situation?"

" And what? Did you hear what she said? She wasn't feeling a bit of remorse for what she did just because Xu Nuan is alive. Xingren is not the same girl that we used to know anymore, Zou Ling. She has changed. She doesn't need your protection anymore, but a strike on her head to get into her senses." 

Grandfather Gu glanced at Gu Zhang, who wasn't speaking and was still in shock. He thought that Xingren was acting childishly as she couldn't accept the truth that she isn't related to them by blood. It was not easy for them to understand either. 

Maybe that's why they couldn't accept Xu Nuan as their daughter and tried to continue their lives like before, ignoring what cannot be changed. 

But it seems like their attitude towards this situation has turned Xingren into something unrecognizable. He thought that she would understand after being punished and not getting to use her cards and cars. She had promised him that she would never do anything like this again, yet she did. 

Her actions not only harmed Xu Nuan but the family's reputation as well. More than that, she is the one getting hurt the most in the end. 

-

" Gu Zhang, what are you planning to do now? Do you still think that Xingren is not in the wrong?" 

Gu Zhang looked at his father with saddened eyes and took a deep breath before he said, " Father, I...was it wrong of me to treat Xingren as my daughter? I have seen her grow from a little cute girl to a young lady. How can I stop thinking of her as my daughter when that woman came to us and told us that Xingren is not our daughter but hers?"

" That woman died but she ruined our lives. Our daughter's lives," he said with a heavy heart. 

Grandfather Gu pursed his lips seeing his son's breakdown and for the first time in a long time, he could see the real side of his son. He sighed and said, " It was not wrong of you to think of her as your daughter. She is your daughter. But you were wrong when you disregarded Xu Nuan."

" You were wrong when rather than accepting the truth and helping Xu Nuan and Xingren to accept this change, you acted stubbornly and avoided the truth."

" You and Lin Ran are at fault for not accepting Xu Nuan and overlooking Xingren's wrong deeds just to keep her happy. That was your biggest mistake Gu Zhang, biggest mistake." 

Upon hearing his father's words, Gu Zhang felt thunder striking him. Xingren's voice in the video was ringing in his ears, making him realize how big of a fool he was. 

Ignoring and covering her mistakes made her do even bigger mistakes. She accepted from her mouth that she was the one who pushed her that night and even asked someone else to hurt her too. 

In front of him, she used to say that it was a mistake, she didn't do it deliberately. Or it was just in the heat of the moment, she wasn't planning to do something to her. 

But she was wishing Xu Nuan to die every single time. This was not a mistake. If he ignored her mistake this time, then she will do something bigger and unforgivable the next time, that everyone will regret. 

" Dad…Give me a week. I will deal with this matter. But...for now, don't say anything to Xingren. I will talk to her myself." 

Grandfather Gu looked at Gu Zhang and nodded. Although he wasn't sure what his son was thinking, his eyes were telling him that this time, he will not ignore Xingren's deeds. 

He agreed to his wishes and nodded. " I won't say anything to her. But I hope that you will understand your responsibility and as her father you will choose what is right for her."

--

The next day- 

Xu Nuan didn't go to college as she doesn't want to deal with the after-effects of what she did last night. If people are cursing at Xingren, she also has people, who think of her as a pitiful adopted daughter of the Gu family. 

And she isn't the type to take their concerns very well. If they meet her now, they will change their perspective right away. 

So it's better to be like this. 

She was at work and was going through the drama script that she was given to look at when her phone rang. She answered the call and said in surprise, " Mr. Secretary!! Where were you all this time? Did you know how much I missed you?"

However, unlike her cheerful voice, he sounded troubled, " Ms. Gu, it's not time to exchange greetings when we all are dying of work overload."

She frowned and asked, " Who is giving you so much work? Who is harassing you? Tell me, I will fix everything for you."

" Your future boyfriend!!" He cried.
