Chapter 11: Qin Shu was the teacher's most prized student

~8 min read 1,513 words

Qin Shu's hand paused, and her heart felt a sudden constriction.

She appeared as calm as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet her heart was surely a tumult of mixed emotions.

Back then, Qin Shu was the teacher's most prized student.

When her future was bright and promising, she chose to marry, have children, and become a full-time wealthy housewife.

The teacher was so furious that he nearly severed ties with her, never wanting to see her again.

During holidays and festivals, the gifts Qin Shu sent were all thrown out.

The teacher said that sooner or later, she would pay a heavy price for her foolish behavior!

In those years, Qin Shu was the student the teacher admired most; he taught her as carefully as if she were his own daughter, wishing he could pass on all his achievements to her entirely.

At that time, the teacher approached Qin Shu with a state-level secret project, hoping she would go with him.

The teacher was the leader, with many brilliant geniuses under his command.

Qin Shu was a prodigy, born into a medical family, and her strength and practical skills surpassed even some experts over fifty years old.

If Qin Shu were there, this research project would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!

This secret research institute was spearheaded by national leaders; it was not open to the public, and it required one to hide their identity and sever all ties.

People would disappear from this world as if they were dead, and only when the research results came out could they appear in public again.

Qin Shu refused.

If she left, Gu Tingyan would truly never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.

After this national-level mission was completed, the honor and achievements would surely go down in history! To be remembered by history!

Yet Qin Shu gave it all up for a man.

The teacher was disappointed that she failed to live up to his expectations, scolded her for a long time, and refused to see her ever again.

Chu Yu, wearing a white lab coat and carrying medicine, passed by; she paused, seeing a familiar figure in the restroom, and was taken aback.

Qin Shu?

Why is she here?

Chu Yu lifted her feet and followed.

Qin Shu went to the restroom after treating her wound.

She came out of the restroom, lowered her head to turn on the faucet, and splashed clear water onto her face, trying to make herself sober up.

In Qin Shu's mind, the words of Ji Yanli kept surfacing.

She thought the teacher had already lost all hope in her.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Gu?"

Qin Shu wiped her hands with a paper towel and said expressionlessly, "Where did this fly come from?"

"Buzzing and buzzing, it's disgusting."

Chu Yu walked in with a brilliant smile, but upon hearing this, her expression became very unpleasant.

When it came to sharp-tongued retorts, she was no match for Qin Shu.

She turned on the faucet, stood to the side, and looked at the disheveled Qin Shu: "What, are you hurt?"

"Gu Tingyan didn't come to see you?"

"Do you know why Brother Tingyan didn't come to see you?"

Qin Shu couldn't be bothered to respond; she knew Gu Tingyan was accompanying his old flame.

Chu Yu turned off the faucet, leaned closer to her, and smiled brightly: "Because he is with my sister."

Chu Yu smiled with great triumph: "Qin Shu, my sister is back."

"She and Gu Tingyan are the real couple; you should step aside."

Seeing the reddened corners of Qin Shu's eyes, she assumed Qin Shu was heartbroken and sad, and she laughed even more happily.

Qin Shu was just a clown who didn't know her own limits!

Chu Yu tossed her hair as if bathed in a spring breeze: "If it weren't for that accident five years ago, it wouldn't have been your turn to marry into the Gu Family."

Chu Yu took out her phone, opened her album, zoomed in on a photo, and handed it to Qin Shu, laughing: "Look, Gu Tingyan is truly good to my sister."

She smiled, then clicked send on the two photos taken in the hospital room, sending them to Qin Shu via WeChat.

She just wanted to disgust Qin Shu to death!

Why did she get to occupy Gu Tingyan for five years?

Qin Shu turned off the faucet and glanced at them with a calm expression; in those two photos.

One showed Chu Sheng lying in a hospital bed in a coma, with Gu Tingyan holding her hand tightly, guarding her bedside just like that.

The tenderness and heartache in the man's eyes were something she had never seen before.

In their five years of marriage, Gu Tingyan had given her the feeling of being a good husband.

He was clearly very close to her, yet he made Qin Shu feel he was very distant.

Unreal and false.

There was another photo of Gu Tingyan and Chu Sheng embracing in the hospital room.

Looking at this scene, Qin Shu only felt it was blindingly painful, as if an invisible pair of giant hands were tearing at her internal organs, and sharp blades were slicing through her nerves inch by inch.

Heh...

What a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Qin Shu raised her hand and slapped Chu Yu's hand away hard, nearly causing Chu Yu's phone to fall into the trash can nearby; she looked up in anger:

"Qin Shu, are you sick?"

Qin Shu turned her head to look at her and sneered: "I think you're the one who's sick."

"Can't you tell the situation? Who is his legitimate wife!"

Qin Shu looked at her and said, "His name and mine are on the same household registration book."

"What kind of thing do you think you are?"

"As long as I am not divorced for a single day."

"Chu Sheng is the actual third party, a homewrecker that everyone wants to beat up!"

"If you push me too far."

Qin Shu gave a cold, mocking smile: "Do you believe that I can outlast Gu Tingyan?"

"Stay married for a lifetime?"

Chu Yu's hand was slapped red; hearing these words from Qin Shu, she laughed in anger: "So you have a temper too?"

She pointed at Qin Shu's nose and cursed: "In the past, the gentle, quiet, virtuous wife and mother you pretended to be were all for Gu Tingyan and Gu Laoyezi to see, right?"

"You have Gu Laoyezi wrapped around your finger!"

"Sooner or later, I will expose your true colors!"

Qin Shu curled her lips in a sarcastic smile: "My true colors?"

Qin Shu looked at her and said: "My true colors are that I am your father."

Chu Yu's chest was about to explode with rage; every time she argued with Qin Shu, she couldn't win, and she would end up being furious for a long time herself!

Yet this bitch Qin Shu was the best at putting on an act!

Both Gu Tingyan and Gu Laoyezi were deceived by her!

When no one was around, Qin Shu would either curse her or hit her!

And she would stubbornly refuse to admit it!

She would still act obedient and well-behaved in front of Gu Laoyezi and Gu Tingyan, pretending to be a gentle and harmless little white rabbit!

Chu Yu dug her fingernails into her flesh, forcing herself to calm down, and glared at her: "I'm telling you, even if you imitate Chu Sheng, you still won't get Gu Tingyan's heart!"

Chu Yu looked at Qin Shu with the eyes of someone looking at a pathetic worm: "You are just a substitute, and now the real one has returned!"

"It's time for you to step down!"

"A substitute?"

Qin Shu raised her eyes, her smile radiant: "So what?"

She said with complete indifference: "I've slept with him for five years, so I haven't lost out."

"I didn't get his heart, but I got his body."

"I've enjoyed the best years of a man's life."

Chu Yu looked at Qin Shu in shock, unable to understand how she could say such naked, shameful, and shameless words!

Qin Shu stared at Chu Yu, baring her fangs, and gave a wicked smile: "As for you, even if I divorce Gu Tingyan, it still wouldn't be your turn, you clown."

"You wouldn't even get a turn at picking up the trash!"

"You aren't even as good as me, the substitute!"

"You can't even get a bite of hot shit!"

Chu Yu was deeply stung by Qin Shu's words, and she snapped: "Ahhhhhhhh!"

Gu Tingyan either only cared about Qin Shu, or he cared about Chu Sheng.

He never once looked at her properly.

It wasn't even her turn to pick up the trash.

She really was not even as good as Qin Shu, the substitute.

"Qin Shu, I'm going to kill you!"

Chu Yu was instantly enraged by these words, raised her hand, and swung it hard at Qin Shu's cheek!
