Ji Yao sensed Gu Xiao’s gaze and glared at her fiercely. Then, she acted spoilt towards Jiang He.

“Mom, look at what those people on the Internet are saying! They don’t even know me. How can they say that about me?”

Jiang He patted Ji Yao’s arm comfortingly. “Don’t worry, 1’11 hire some ghostwriters immediately to suppress these words! Let’s see who still dares to say these things online!”

Ji Yao recalled that she had hired fake reviewers last night, but every fake reviewer’s message had a special red symbol. If she had bought a higher-end fake reviewer, there would be no special red symbol, but though she could afford the price, she was unwilling to use her money to hire such reviewers.

Initially, she had just decided what she couldn’t see wouldn’t hurt her. However, she did not expect that after an entire night, that photo had still not disappeared from the trending searches.

She had no choice but to look for Jiang He to help her solve the problem.

She bit her lip and continued, “Mom, can’t we just remove this trending topic?”

As Ji Yao spoke, she looked at Gu Xiao warily.

She was worried that Gu Xiao would think of a way to make this trending topic rise again after this trending topic was removed from the list.

However, Gu Xiao did not have the mood to care about these things. After breakfast, she went upstairs again. She did not want to be with Jiang He and Ji Yao at all.

In the end, Jiang He still spent money to help Ji Yao remove the photo from the trending topics online.

Ji Yao had been focused at the commotion on Weibo. When she saw that the photo did not appear again, she heaved a sigh of relief.

After that banquet, Jiang He was now wary of the Chu family’s power. Coupled with Ji Gao’s warning, before figuring out the Chu family’s attitude towards Gu Xiao, Jiang He did not dare to casually provoke Gu Xiao again.

Hence, Gu Xiao had a pretty good winter break.

When Gu Xiao arrived at the class alone, she realized that Chu An was already sitting in his original seat.

After seeing Gu Xiao’s figure, Chu An’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved at Gu Xiao.

“Xiaoxiao!”

Gu Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. She quickened her pace.

After Gu Xiao sat down, Chu An said, “Xiaoxiao, 1 didn’t have many chances to see you during this winter break. I had been looking forward to the school term starting early every day.”

Gu Xiao supported her chin with her hand and tilted her head to look at Chu An. “I’m the same.”

Upon receiving Gu Xiao’s reply, starlight seemed to flash in Chu An’s eyes. Just as he was about to say something to express the excitement in his heart, Wang Ming’s resentful voice came from ahead.

“It’s already the new semester. Can’t you guys restrain yourselves a little? There are other people in this class!”

Chu An was instantly dissatisfied after being interrupted.

He raised his head and glared at Wang Ming angrily. Wang Ming shrunk back and mumbled, “1 meant what I said.” Then, Wang Ming turned around.

After being reminded by Wang Ming, Gu Xiao observed her classmates.

She came quite early, so there weren’t many classmates in her class. However, the few classmates that were there discreetly sized her and Chu An up.

After all, they were in school. They had to be careful.

Gu Xiao used the cover of the desk to pat Chu An.

“Alright, Wang Ming is right. Let’s pack up and prepare for the new course.”

With Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An immediately retracted his intimidating gaze and nodded obediently at Gu Xiao.

When the students in the class saw Chu An’s change, they couldn’t help but click their tongues in wonder. It seemed that Gu Xiao was the only one who could subdue Chu An.

No. 1 High School was the best high school in the city, so there naturally was homework for the duration of their winter vacation, and it was very difficult.

A classmate suddenly had an idea and sought out Gu Xiao and Chu An to ask about the questions that weren’t written down on the blackboard. The two of them replied as best they could.

Some students who hadn’t finished or didn’t understand the questions saw that the first person to ask Gu Xiao and Chu An had received a reply, and they all gathered around Chu An and Gu Xiao.

For a moment, the seats around Gu Xiao and Chu An were occupied by students asking questions.

When Ji Yao arrived at the class, she saw such a lively scene around Gu Xiao..
