NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42 Is my husband considered a parent?
After not seeing each other for a long time, the president of Peking University exchanged a few words with Gu Xinxin before getting to the point, "Student Xinxin, next Monday will be the graduation ceremony for your class. As an outstanding graduate of the school, you will lead Come to the graduation ceremony with your parents. The school hopes that you and your parents can come on stage to give a speech and share your journey to success."
Gu Xinxin declined politely, "...Sorry principal, I don't have parents."
"How come there are no parents? You kid is talking nonsense. Your file clearly states that both your father and stepmother are still alive!"
"Principal, I..."
On the other end of the phone, someone seemed to be calling the principal. The principal responded and said hurriedly: "Student Xinxin, remember to come early with your parents on Monday. Don't be late!"
After saying that, the principal hung up the phone.
Gu Xinxin was a little annoyed. She did have parents, but it was almost the same as not having them!
Since she was a child, Gu Baichuan had been in a pure carefree mode towards her. As a father, he had never attended her parent-teacher meetings, let alone her stepmother Liu Li.
But the principal has always regarded her as his favorite student, and she doesn't want to let him down.
After thinking about it, Gu Xinxin tried to call Gu Baichuan, "Dad, are you free next Monday?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Baichuan and Liu Li's mother and daughter were having breakfast happily, "Next Monday? Next Monday is the live broadcast ceremony of your sister signing a new company. Your Aunt Li and I need to dress up and attend to support your sister!"
Gu Xinxin raised her eyebrows, feeling strange, "Sister is signing a contract with a new company? It seems that my sister's career has not been affected by the negative news last time!"
Gu Baichuan smiled heartily, "Yes! The last hot search was actually a misunderstanding. The bartender in the video was not your sister at all, but an [-]th-tier internet celebrity who did plastic surgery for your sister! Your sister It was someone who maliciously smeared her. Fortunately, your Aunt Li had a way to find out the truth and release clarification news, so that she could clear your sister's name! And because of the popularity brought by this news, a large brokerage company came to pursue her. I want to sign a contract with your sister!"
Gu Xinxin curled her lips, hehe, Liu Li can do it! She really forcibly whitewashed her daughter Gu Xueer!
Gu Baichuan asked: "Xinxin, you just asked me if I had time on Monday. Is there something wrong?"
Thinking of the principal's instructions, Gu Xinxin hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Monday is my graduation ceremony. The school requires me to bring my parents to attend, so I want to ask my father if he can..."
Gu Baichuan interrupted before he could finish listening, "Xinxin, your studies have always made dad feel reassured, so dad won't accompany you to attend! Your sister's signing ceremony is more important, after all, it concerns her future. Career development!”
The answer was as expected. Gu Xinxin smiled sarcastically, "Well, I know. Goodbye, dad."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Gu Xueer sent several messages in succession: "What? Do you want dad to accompany you to the graduation ceremony?"
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xueer sent another photo to show off. In the photo, there were several latest brand-name bags.
Gu Xinxin smiled lightly and replied with four words: [Congratulations on getting rich! 】
Not seeing Gu Xinxin's jealous reaction, Gu Xueer seemed to have punched the cotton, so she sent another sentence - "Gu Xinxin, no matter how hard you try, you will always be an illegitimate person who cannot stand on the stage. Girl! Don’t even think about being better than me, you don’t deserve it!”
Gu Xinxin paid no attention to Gu Xueer's superficial show off and pride. She was more concerned about how to explain to the principal that she would not be accompanied by her parents on Monday...
At this time, Huo Xiangyin opened the door and walked in, opened the closet and took a suit jacket.
"come over."
Hearing the man's commanding tone, Gu Xinxin frowned, "What are you doing?"
Huo Xiangyin said: "Tie me a tie!"
Gu Xinxin: "..."
If I hadn't promised to play the role of his wife, I wouldn't have cooperated in serving him!
She stood up and walked over, picked up a delicate tie and put it around Huo Xiangyin's neck...
The uncle was too tall, so she had to stand on tiptoe to reach him. Because of the height difference, her movements were a little clumsy and cramped.
Huo Xiangyin stared at her with appreciative eyes, half-smiling but not smiling.
Gu Xinxin finally tied the man's tie, raised her head and glared at him, then suddenly had an idea and asked him, "Uncle, are you free next Monday?"
"No." The man answered quickly, almost indifferently.
Gu Xinxin pursed her lips and said nothing further, but deliberately pulled his tie crookedly and left.
The man frowned and straightened his tie, "What? Are you busy on Monday?"
Gu Xinxin turned to look at Huo Xiangyin, and then thought about it, even if the uncle had time, in what capacity could he accompany her to the graduation ceremony?
Moreover, this man's status is so prominent that he will inevitably attract unnecessary attention!
"It's okay, just ask!" she gave up.
Huo Xiangyin didn't ask any more questions. He walked up to her, raised his hand and pinched her chin, and asked condescendingly, "My child, does your stomach still hurt?"
Gu Xinxin glared at him angrily, "Thank you for your concern, uncle, I'm fine now!"
"Well, just don't die in my house." After speaking calmly, Huo Xiangyin released her pointed chin, put her suit jacket on her arms, and turned around to go out.
Gu Xinxin raised her fist and waved it at the man's tall background. This uncle really deserves a beating!
After that, Gu Xinxin thought of Grandma Huo. If she spoke, Grandma would agree to accompany her to the graduation ceremony.
But grandma is old, and the graduation ceremony is long and smelly, so it doesn’t seem good to bother the elderly...
Forget it, she'll do it by herself then!
……
on Monday.
In the Beijing University Auditorium, the principal was standing on the podium giving an opening speech...
At today's graduation ceremony, each department selected a top student, who was accompanied by their parents.
Every parent is beaming with glory and proud of their children.
But Gu Xinxin was alone and seemed out of place.
At this time, the teaching office is upstairs in the auditorium.
The dean frowned and said: "Mr. Huo, this is already the seventh time that my sister has failed a class since she entered school. If this continues, it will be a question of whether your sister can graduate smoothly!"
Huo Fan asked his parents again because he was uneducated and incompetent.
Huo Xiangyin sat on the sofa in the Academic Affairs Office, resting his forehead on one hand. He no longer wanted to worry about the sister who couldn't hold herself up the wall.
Shen Mu glanced downstairs and saw Gu Xinxin standing on the podium.
"What's going on down there?"
The dean came over and looked down, "Mr. Huo, it's the graduation ceremony for seniors! Standing on the stage are the top students selected by each department. Today they will attend the graduation ceremony with their parents and deliver their graduation speeches."
As he said that, the dean also noticed the lonely Gu Xinxin on the stage, "Huh? Why is Gu Xinxin standing alone in the middle? That child was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination and the principal's most valued top student. Why didn't her parents come? ?”
Huo Xiangyin narrowed his eyes. A few days ago, the little girl seemed to have asked him if he was free on Monday? Is it because of this graduation ceremony?
The dean sighed again, "The parents don't even cherish such an outstanding child!"
Huo Xiangyin raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up a little, "Director, do you think my husband is a parent?"
The dean was stunned, "Mr. Huo, what did you say?"
