Chapter 3 Rumors
"Monkey, our senior Qi is back to school!" Chen Hai put down his book and whispered to Hou Liangping who had just returned from outside.
"I heard about it too. It seems that our senior has finally decided to compromise!" Hou Liangping smiled contemptuously.
He has complicated feelings towards Qi Tongwei.
He was jealous of Qi Tongwei's achievements in school, and at the same time he looked down on this senior from the countryside.
Because of this senior, his presence in school is very low, and everyone's focus is always on the student union president.
When people first heard that Qi Tongwei was assigned to a remote area, no one knew how happy he was.
Chen Hai naturally understood his friend's feelings. In the past few years at Handong University, Qi Tongwei was always the best one in the eyes of the teachers, and almost all the boys were just his foil.
Even his own sister, the campus beauty of Handong University, fell in love with Qi Tongwei and even went into a cold war with his father.
Fortunately, Liang Lu showed up and intervened in the relationship between Qi Tongwei and his sister Chen Yang, otherwise he would always live in the other's shadow.
The image of a male god who was once high and mighty and the dream lover of all the girls in the school would be completely shattered if he knelt down to a woman who was more than ten years older than him.
Even if he entered the official career and relied on the Liang family to get to the top, he would still be criticized behind his back and would not be able to achieve anything great.
Chen Hai and Hou Liangping smiled at each other tacitly and walked out of the dormitory.
Soon the news that Qi Tongwei knelt down to propose spread.
Qi Tongwei was chatting with Gao Yuliang at the moment and had no idea that the news had already begun to spread around the school that he would kneel down and propose to Liang Lu in public on the playground tomorrow.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. When he didn't have the ability to take revenge, he would keep all the hatred deep in his heart and wait for the opportunity.
Once the opportunity comes, it will be a torrential blow, leaving the opponent no chance to turn around.
Hou Liangping, the enemy who killed him in his previous life, is naturally also among those to be avenged.
"Old Gao, does Qi Tongwei's return to Handong this time have anything to do with Liang Lu..." Wu Huifen asked quietly while Gao Yuliang was going to the bathroom.
"No, he came back to Handong this time to borrow materials from the school. He has nothing to do with Teacher Liang."
Gao Yuliang knew what his wife was going to ask, so he interrupted her before she finished speaking.
"But the news has spread around the school. It is said that Qi Tongwei will kneel down in public on the playground tomorrow to propose to Liang Lu." Wu Huifen just received a call from her best friend Liang Lu.
"Where did you hear this rumor? Qi Tongwei will borrow the materials tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow." Gao Yuliang asked in surprise.
"Is what you said true?
Who spread the rumor? Liang Lu also heard about it and just called me to verify the truth of the story. "Wu Huifen was a little dumbfounded. She knew Liang Lu would be furious.
"It seems that Qi Tongwei has offended someone, and someone is behind the scenes fanning the flames. This time, Qi Tongwei has completely offended our teacher Liang.
If he doesn't compromise, he will have a hard time in the future!" Gao Yuliang quickly analyzed the sinister intentions of the person who spread the rumor.
He brought the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu to light.
This is pushing Qi Tongwei into a desperate situation. Although kneeling down to propose marriage can win the support of the Liang family, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame at Handong University from now on.
If I don't kneel down to propose, Liang Lu will lose face and will definitely suppress me to the end.
"You go and talk to Qi Tongwei first. I have to tell Liang Lu the news and tell her not to go to school tomorrow, otherwise she will be embarrassed." After saying this, Wu Huifen went to make a phone call.
Gao Yuliang shook his head. He had a very bad impression of Liang Lu, an unruly woman and a willful and unruly young lady from an official family.
Liang Lu was sitting by the phone waiting with a faint smile on her lips. Qi Tongwei finally compromised. He could not escape from her control.
"What? Sister Wu, I know!" Liang Lu's face turned pale. She originally thought that she could achieve her goal soon, but she didn't expect it to be a rumor.
"Lulu, don't be anxious. Qi Tongwei is still young and doesn't know the dangers of society. After experiencing setbacks, he will know what to choose." Wu Huifen persuaded.
Neither of them considered Qi Tongwei's feelings, nor did they ask him whether he was willing.
After all, deep down in their hearts, they still looked down on farmers and believed that it was Qi Tongwei's honor and the blessing of his ancestors for eight lifetimes to marry Liang Lu.
"It's okay, Sister Wu, I'm not in a hurry." Liang Lu immediately turned hostile after hanging up the phone. She picked up the phone beside her and smashed it. She had never been so angry before.
She could imagine how embarrassing it would be if she didn't get Qi Tongwei's proposal when she arrived at school tomorrow, and she was glad that she asked Wu Huifen in advance.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell daddy and he will help you vent your anger." Liang Qunfeng asked after picking up the phone.
He was very worried about his daughter. Ever since her boyfriend went abroad to study, she had become a completely different person, with a bad temper and mood swings.
He was really afraid that his daughter would be unable to get over the matter and make irreparable regrets, which was why he did not object to his daughter suppressing Qi Tongwei.
Otherwise, he would not agree to let his daughter marry a farmer's son.
Liang Lu did not tell her father the truth. She decided to investigate personally to find out who was spreading the rumors.
If she were to find the person who spread the rumor, she would never let him go. At the same time, she decided to suppress Qi Tongwei to the end unless he changed his mind.
After hearing what Gao Yuliang said, Qi Tongwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that just a trip to Handong would cause such a stir in the city.
It seems that there are people in school who don't want him to have an easy time, but he doesn't know who they are yet, but there must be a few of them.
It’s just that the opponent is still young, and the move he made was really not a good one. He didn’t consider the consequences of not proposing.
For me, as long as I don't compromise, Liang Lu will definitely suppress me, so it doesn't matter if it's unnecessary. But it's different for those who spread rumors.
Women are very vindictive, especially when the man is a willful second-generation official.
Qi Tongwei expressed doubts about whether Liang Lu could easily forgive the person who spread the rumor after knowing the person.
"Teacher, I plan to leave as soon as I get the information tomorrow. Handong is not a place for me to stay for long right now." He was not ready to get involved in the vortex now.
For now, the farther away from Handong, the safer it is.
Stay calm first and wait for the opportunity to rise.
Gao Yuliang nodded without objection. He also thought that leaving was the best way. The lady in the Liang family was not someone who was easy to deal with.
The next day, after having dinner at Gao Yuliang's house, Qi Tongwei went directly to the library.
With the greeting of the great professor Gao Yuliang, the library administrator was very polite and helped him find all the information.
Qi Tongwei didn't want to meet any acquaintances at this time, so he didn't delay and just took the information and left.
