Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Reported by Someone

“Hehehe.” Xia Chuyi chuckled and then glanced around, asking, “Where’s Professor Bao?”

Hearing her question, Mrs. Gu replied, “The school called him over, said there was some matter, and he’d be back soon.”

“You all should eat here today, I’ll cook!” Master chuckled, “Although I’m not as skilled as your master, I’ve seen enough to pick up a few tricks.”

“And,” Master added, “your master said he’d prepare a good soup at ‘Delicious Residence’ and have someone bring it over at noon.”

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi secretly smiled to herself: Her master was always tough on the outside but soft on the heart.

She nodded obediently and replied, “Mmm, okay.”

After that, everyone began asking about various things that had happened over this period.

A while later, Professor Bao returned.

When Mr. Guan called, Professor Bao wasn’t there, so he was quite surprised when he suddenly saw Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian together.

“How are you here?” exclaimed Professor Bao.

“Uncle.” Huo Shiqian stood up and approached Professor Bao, saying, “I brought Chuyi here to see you all.”

Hearing this, Professor Bao paused for a moment, then responded, “Oh, oh…”

Soon, Professor Bao collected himself and said, “Qian’er, please take a seat.”

“Chuyi, come with me to the study, I have something I need from you,” Professor Bao added.

Hearing this, the expressions of those present became puzzled.

Seeing their reactions, Professor Bao immediately explained, “It’s nothing serious, just some school matters, need Chuyi to help out a bit.”

Knowing it was school-related, Mrs. Gu somewhat reproachfully shook her head, “Jiaye, this person… Chuyi just got back, why are you bothering her with matters?”

Professor Bao adjusted his glasses, thinking to himself: He didn’t want to either, but it just happened to be this way.

“Come on, Chuyi, let’s go to the study.” Though chided by his wife, Professor Bao still insisted.

After all, the matter could impact Xia Chuyi’s studies.

Xia Chuyi blinked, puzzled yet she replied, “Oh, okay.”

Professor Bao must be dealing with something important?

Anyway, he wouldn’t harm her,

that much she trusted.

Hearing her agreement, Professor Bao nodded and turned to lead the way into another room.

Xia Chuyi followed closely.

As they left, someone gently tugged at her arm—it was Huo Shiqian.

Xia Chuyi flashed him a smile and whispered reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything afterward!”

Huo Shiqian shook his head slightly.

This girl always seemed so optimistic.

He worried because he had a gut feeling that this so-called “matter” might not be something good.

Inside the study,

Professor Bao took an envelope out of his briefcase and handed it to Xia Chuyi, saying, “Here, there’s an accusation letter against you.”

“What?” Xia Chuyi was somewhat stunned, “Accusing me?”

Accusing her of what?

She quickly opened the letter to read.

The letter was already opened, and the content was straightforward.

“…accuses Xia Chuyi of poor character, moral corruption, and cheating in exams!”

After finishing the accusation letter, Xia Chuyi frowned involuntarily, “Accusing me of cheating?”

Who would do this?

For some reason, she thought of Zhan Yi.

Xia Chuyi shook her head, then seriously and earnestly said to Professor Bao, “Professor, I didn’t cheat.”

Hearing this, Professor Bao nodded and declared, “I, of course, believe that you didn’t cheat.”
