Chapter 58: Heartbeat

Xu Qingyao always knew that she was not worthy of Gu Peiran.

When she was a child, she lived in the countryside and lived a hard life facing the loess with her back to the sky, while Gu Peiran lived in the capital and lived an exquisite life of fine clothes and food.

In order to go to college, she secretly worked odd jobs to save tuition, and Gu Peiran could choose all the famous universities at home and abroad at will.

But just like Gu Peiran said, she is greedy and snobbish, and she always wants to get him.

Xu Qingyao dried her hair and lay back on the bed.

Like when you were a child, shrink yourself into the quilt and wrap your hands around your knees.

This safe sleeping position made her barely find some comfort.

In the past, when my grandmother went out to sell food, she was afraid to sleep alone, so she developed this habit.

Later, when she got married, Gu Peiran replaced her grandmother and slept on the other side of the bed, always tossing Xu Qingyao until she fell asleep.

She hadn't slept like this in a long time.

Maybe it was because of the quarrel before going to bed, Xu Qingyao dreamed of Gu Peiran.

is not Gu Peiran now, but him in college.

In the library of Kyoying University, a group of people gathered in the corner of the hall.

Originally, there was a large plum blue and white porcelain vase with a flower and fruit pattern, which was said to be a gift donated to the school by a certain boss.

However, this precious gift was smashed to pieces.

"I heard that this porcelain vase is an antique from the Ming Dynasty, how much money do you have to lose?"

"This little girl is probably going bankrupt, it's really pitiful."

The onlookers were talking.

Xu Qingyao lay on the ground in a daze, her mind full of thoughts of being finished.

She works part-time as a bookshelves organizer in the library, and she has to return a large number of books every time.

In order to finish the work early and catch up with the next part-time job, Xu Qingyao held a thick stack of books and walked to the reading area with limited mobility.

As she passed the hall, she bumped into a male classmate who was joking.

Xu Qingyao was thin and small, and the whole person was knocked into the blue and white porcelain vase along with the book in his hand.

The weak porcelain vase touched the marble floor tiles and shattered in an instant.

The male classmate had already sneaked away, and she had to bear the consequences of breaking the porcelain bottle alone.

When the dean was notified, he ran into the library panting with his beer belly in his mouth.

"Oops!! Who did this!! ”

Xu Qingyao stood up and wiped her tears in fear, "Director, I accidentally bumped into it." ”

She was wearing a yellowish white T, and the canvas shoes under her feet were also a little shabby, just by looking at the clothes, you could feel how ordinary her family background was.

But the director just wanted to deal with the matter satisfactorily so that he could explain it to the school leaders.

So he didn't bother to understand the specific situation, and he didn't bother to empathize with the student's situation.

The director scolded with a slap in the face, "You don't have long eyes!" With such a big porcelain vase here, you can accidentally knock it over! ”

Xu Qingyao lowered her head and listened to the director's lecture tremblingly.

She silently counted the balances in each digital wallet, adding up to about 6,000 yuan, which is estimated to be just enough to pay a fraction of this antique porcelain vase.

"Do you know how expensive this vase is! Call your parents to school right away and negotiate the price of compensation! ”

"No way!" Xu Qingyao refused.

The Xu family did not agree to her going to college, and even cut off her tuition.

If this matter is brought to Zhao Lanzhi again, Xu Qingyao will definitely be tied up directly home, and then immediately arrange marriage in exchange for a bride price.

Xu Qingyao was so anxious that she began to shed tears again.

"This porcelain vase costs 10 million to say the least, and it's useless for you to cry! If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the consequences! Go to jail if you don't lose money! The director waved his hand.

10 million ???

Xu Qingyao only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the price was so outrageous that it was not enough to sell the house where the Xu family lived.

"Director......" her voice trembled, "can I pay in installments?" ”

"Installments?? Why don't you just tell me that you want to buy it for zero yuan?! The director was sweating on the top of his head, and he almost threw the four big words 'wishful thinking' on her face.

The people around were silent a lot, after all, this was a porcelain vase of seven million, and no one dared to say words of persuasion.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

"Ah!! It's Senior Gu of Beijing University next door! He's so handsome! ”

"He actually came to Jingying!! Mom, I have no regrets in my life! ”

With the exclamations of the girls one after another, the topic character Gu Peiran walked into the library.

His clothes look casual and casual, but the total value of his body is the salary of an average person for several years.

Handsome, rich and highly educated, he has naturally become the most popular campus male god.

As long as he stood there, he was the center of attention.

Gu Peiran's appearance made the director, who was still scolding loudly, change his face on the spot, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Gu Shao, why did you suddenly come to Jingying?"

"Come and return the book." Gu Peiran was holding a thick album in his hand, and his eyes fell on Xu Qingyao, who was crying until the tip of his nose was red.

He often came to borrow books, so he had long been familiar with Xu Qingyao, a part-time student who was responsible for the return of books.

However, Xu Qingyao is always immersed in work, and has never looked at Gu Peiran directly, and the two have never had much intersection.

Gu Peiran has never been nosy, but when he saw Xu Qingyao crying, he somehow asked about her situation.

"Why is she crying?"

"This female classmate smashed the school's antique vase, and I discussed with her how to compensate for it, but I started crying without saying a word." The director said half-truthfully.

He was indeed negotiating compensation, but it was not a good voice at all.

"Antique vase?" Gu Peiran raised his eyebrows and looked at the messy debris on the ground.

"If it's an antique, why is it in the hall?"

"Ah......h

The director paused, and just as he wanted to explain, he heard Gu Peiran continue, "But this porcelain vase is a fake. ”

"Gu Shao, you are not a scholar of cultural relics identification, you can't take a look at it, and directly determine that this antique is not real."

The school had been advocating the value of this porcelain vase before, and the director naturally would not believe Gu Peiran's words.

However, his doubts were broken by Gu Peiran's words.

"This large plum vase with a flower and fruit pattern is an auction item of Poly Auction, with a transaction price of 11.5 million, and it is now placed in the Gu family's warehouse."

The Gu family has strong financial resources and is invited to participate in many auctions every year as a representative of influence.

Gu Peiran took over the work related to the auction very early, and he has a strong memory and remembers every auction collection.

After listening to his words, the director wiped his sweat and asked the school leader to contact the owner of the donated porcelain vase.

Sure enough, the porcelain vase was a fake, with a market value of up to 1,000 yuan.

10 million shrank into 1,000 yuan in an instant, and Xu Qingyao was stunned by surprise.

She successfully apologized and paid the compensation, and found Gu Peiran who was about to return the book at the book return office.

"Classmate, thank you for helping me, I invite you to drink milk tea." Xu Qingyao was very excited, and thanked Gu Peiran who was 'enthusiastic about helping others'.

"No, you don't." Gu Peiran handed her the album, "While you are busy with work, pay more attention to your surroundings." ”

What he said meant something, but Xu Qingyao only understood the surface.

She looked at Gu Peiran and said seriously and solemnly, "Thank you!" ”

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Xu Qingyao's face became redder and redder, and finally she staggered her eyes embarrassedly.

And Gu Peiran was still looking at her, and slowly said, "You ......"

"What the hell are you crazy about?!"

"Be your good Mrs. Gu!"
