Chapter 1442: Principal Gu's Wisdom 2

Grandpa Gu has returned.

Zichen sat where he was, motionless; he discovered that Gu Yuxin had not blocked him on WeChat, so he first apologized, then explained the whole matter exactly as it happened!

Finished writing, sent, and felt completely at ease.

Regardless of whether he could be forgiven, a heavy stone in his heart had finally been set down.

For the past few days, he had been enduring mental torture; Gu Yuxin had called him a scumbag, which was originally meant as a joke, but now the word tormented him day and night, to the point that even he felt he was truly a scumbag!

Yet Grandpa Gu had just said no, he was not a scumbag, and there was nothing wrong with his character.

It was only because he was too young that his method of handling the problem was slightly lacking.

……

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked, and Gu Yuxin, thinking it was the nanny urging her to eat again, said impatiently: "I'm not eating, I'm not eating, I'm not eating! I already said I'm not hungry, can you stop bothering me?"

"It's me."

It was Grandpa's voice.

She hurriedly shuffled in her slippers to open the door: "Grandpa, you're back."

"Do you know what I went to do just now?"

"I don't know."

Although she said she didn't know, Yuxin's large eyes were filled with expectation.

His granddaughter was someone he had watched grow up since she was small; her little thoughts were all seen by Grandpa.

"Here, your favorite."

But Grandpa was also playful for once; he took a bag out from behind his back and handed it over, and the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes permeated the room.

Gu Yuxin: ……

"Tha, thank you, Grandpa."

"No need to thank me, eat."

She had no appetite and did not want to eat.

But she could not refuse Grandpa's gesture, so she opened the bag, took out a steaming hot sweet potato, peeled it, and ate it in small bites.

"Ding—"

The WeChat notification sound rang.

Gu Yuxin glanced at it inadvertently; it was sent by Sheng Zichen.

Damn it, how did she forget to block him?

Why was this guy still sending her messages?

Gu Yuxin was very angry and wanted to block him, but since Grandpa was there, it was not appropriate to fiddle with her phone in front of him.

Grandpa said: "Yuxin, I have a few things I want to say to you; they probably won't be very pleasant to hear, but they could be helpful for your future life. Are you willing to listen?"

Grandpa rarely lectured, and Yuxin also respected him very much.

If someone else lectured her, she would certainly not want to listen, but Grandpa was different.

"Please speak, I am willing to listen."

Grandpa spoke as if they were just chatting; without a single word of criticism, he pointed out that his granddaughter had grown up in an environment that was always smooth sailing, with a harmonious and affluent family, so her personality was somewhat impatient and self-centered, and she was not good at looking at problems from others' perspectives!

"I didn't, Grandpa, you are biased; you aren't biased toward your own granddaughter but instead biased toward someone else."

Yuxin was so smart that when Grandpa said these things to her, she guessed what he had just gone to do.

And she took it for granted that Grandpa was saying these things to her because Sheng Zichen had spoken ill of her, and the old man was listening to one side and believing it, trusting that glib-tongued guy instead of his own granddaughter.

"When you were little, you especially liked listening to Grandpa tell stories; shall Grandpa tell you another story?"

After he finished speaking, he began to tell it, starting from First High School.

He told of that boy's prank, told of that beautiful girl's tragic family, and after reaching Class Twelve, he told of the kind-hearted boy who couldn't get past his own conscience and made compensation for the girl, which ended up bringing out a miraculous class……

Yuxin knew full well that the story was about Sheng Zichen and Lu Feifei, but she couldn't bear to stop him and listened very attentively.

She discovered that before this, she knew nothing at all about Sheng Zichen's past.

Before this, her impression of Lu Feifei was that she was a lovesick, infatuated, and paranoid woman with a small mind.

But in Grandpa's story, she only then learned that Lu Feifei was actually a self-reliant girl; she could have clearly attended Jiangzhou University, and if they were at the same school, wouldn't she be closer and more convenient to Sheng Zichen?

But because of her family environment, she settled for the next best thing and chose a tuition-free normal university.

Actually, if she had reported her situation to Jiang University, she could have completely applied for financial aid and paid it back after graduation, which would have been the same!

Yuxin could not understand, and Grandpa gave the answer—this girl had an extremely strong sense of self-esteem.

An extremely strong sense of self-esteem is usually accompanied by a strong sense of inferiority.

She was afraid of being different from others, afraid of others looking at her with strange eyes, so she did not hesitate to sacrifice some precious things to protect her self-esteem from being hurt.

This kind of feeling is hard for children who grew up in affluent families to understand.

Although she still couldn't quite understand, Yuxin's hatred for Lu Feifei faded quite a bit; she was also a pitiful person, and at the time, she had just been confused for a moment.

Grandpa spoke of Sheng Zichen having his older sister formulate a study plan for Class Twelve and encouraging the whole of Class Twelve to strive for success; the two of them focused on Teacher Luo, sighing that they had met a good teacher!

This could not be blamed on them, as Zichen had downplayed his and his sister's roles while speaking, mainly highlighting Teacher Luo's contribution.

If Grandpa could have communicated slightly with the teachers in the admissions office, he would have known that Sheng Zichen was a god-like existence at First High School!

And he would have known even more that his sister was the famous Shi Ran.

But he did not.

The story was finished; it was not very long, but it was very wonderful.

Grandpa finally said meaningfully: "A person will meet many people in this life, but there are very few who are truly right and suitable for oneself. A person will also encounter many things in this life, and no matter what you encounter, I hope you can settle your heart and think calmly."

"An impatient personality and agitated emotions often lead to making wrong judgments when assessing things."

"A lifetime is very long, and a lifetime is also very short. Grandfather hopes you are happy, and hopes that when you look back on the past in your old age, you will have as few regrets as possible."

Yuxin threw herself into her grandfather's arms: "Thank you, Grandfather, you are so kind!"

"Alright, finish your sweet potato and go apologize to Li Ma, then act a little spoiled, and get something good to eat."

Grandfather dotingly flicked his granddaughter's nose.

Li Ma was the Gu family's nanny, but she was like family; her granddaughter had just had a bad attitude toward Li Ma, so she needed to apologize!

"Mm, I know, you go on out."

She was in a hurry to see what Sheng Zichen had written.

It was a good thing Grandfather was there just now, otherwise, in a fit of anger, she would have deleted it.

Grandfather went out, and she grabbed her phone to look, reading very carefully, but it was all the same as the "story" Grandfather had told.

"Hmph! Consider yourself honest, you didn't lie."

The resentment in Gu Yuxin's heart vanished, and her stomach began to growl incessantly.

So she walked out of the room to go find Li Ma and act spoiled... no, to apologize!

Then she was rewarded with a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup, and she ate it all up.

Normal University.

Lu Feifei was having a hard time.

No matter where she was, she felt like people behind her were pointing at her, and rumors and gossip about her were everywhere.

She couldn't even lift her head, and she had no friends by her side; the few classmates she used to get along with now stayed far away from her, and even if they ran into each other, they pretended not to see her.

If they didn't want to see her, then so be it; they didn't want to talk to her, and Lu Feifei didn't want to bother with them either.
