Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 766: Chapter 767: Untrustworthy

”Without a check-up, how can you prove you’re not pregnant?” Gan Yulu pushed her thick glasses up and said.

”And if I get checked, does that prove anything?” Gu Lingling sneered, ”If someone messes with the results, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River.”

”Gu Lingling, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you don’t trust the school?” Gan Yulu said angrily.

”Wrong.” Gu Lingling smiled and shook her head, ”I don’t trust you.”

”You...” Gan Yulu stood up and said, ”Are you questioning my professional ethics?”

”Yes.” Gu Lingling said decisively without a hint of hesitation. After speaking, she ignored the already infuriated Gan Yulu and looked at the dean, ”I have explained everything the department asked of me. As for the check-up Director Gan mentioned, I refuse.”

”Rumors are dispelled by the wise. As for evidence, time will prove it best.”

A few months from now, if there’s no change in her belly, what would those people say then?

However, waiting a few months for revenge would be too suffocating.

”Who said you had to have a check-up?” Just as Gu Lingling finished speaking, the office door was kicked open from outside.

Dean Xie, ”...”

This was the first time someone kicked the door since he’d become dean.

”Mr. Zhou, why are you here?” Dean Xie hurried forward with a smile.

”If I didn’t come, would you drag my Lingling to some silly check-up?” Mr. Zhou angrily flung his hand, ”Instead of investigating who is stirring up trouble, you call in the victim for what?”

”Is this how you’ll handle such matters in the future?” Mr. Zhou almost pointed his finger at the dean.

”If so, perhaps you shouldn’t be the dean any longer.”

Dean Xie, ”...Please calm down.”

”I’m not angry.” Mr. Zhou waved his hand away, ”If your English department doesn’t want her, fine. My archaeology department would welcome her greatly.”

Gu Lingling, ”...”

So, the old man hasn’t given up on coaxing me over?

”Gan Yulu?” Mr. Zhou glanced at Gan Yulu, who was pretending to be invisible, and smiled angrily while shaking his head, ”Very well, I have my eye on you now.”

Several times causing trouble for their Lingling, it was this person.

”Old... Mr. Zhou, I... I’m just doing my job, just doing my job.” He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and awkwardly smiled.

”Nonsense.” Mr. Zhou threw out two words, ”Seems the last lesson I gave you wasn’t enough.”

He was puzzled; how could anyone be so envious and full of jealousy over how adorable their Lingling was!

”Who was the blind one who slandered you?” Mr. Zhou said angrily, ”Back in the village, you weren’t so gentle. How come you’ve lost your edge in the big city?”

Gu Lingling, ”...”

When was she ever not gentle?

”Show the same spirit you had when handling scumbags in the village; even if the sky falls, I, the old man, will hold it up for you.”

Gu Lingling, ”...”

Why does everyone tell her the same thing?

Yang Yunhai was like this, and so was Mr. Zhou.

”Grandpa.” Gu Lingling held his sleeve, ”Don’t get angry.”

”I’m not angry with these stupid people.” Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes at the two in the room.

The Black Bird perched on the big tree outside the window, ”...”
