Chapter 18: This University Spot Was Voluntarily Given to Me by Gu Siqing

When Gu Wanrou uttered those words, not only the police officers but also Gu Siqing, Shen Qingyan, and the gossiping neighbors who were eavesdropping from the doorway were all stunned.

They had lived for most of their lives and seen many shameless people, but they had never seen someone this thick-skinned.

Shen Qingyan was completely disgusted. He couldn’t comprehend how someone could be so full of herself. Today was clearly the first time he had ever met Gu Wanrou, yet she was claiming he had a thing for her… For what? For impersonating someone else to attend university? For committing a crime?

Gu Siqing shook her head helplessly. “You really have an active imagination. I almost admire you.”

“Shen Qingyan had never met either of us before. It didn’t matter who ended up marrying him. Professor Qi was just trying to set up a match for his son. You’re overthinking it.”

Gu Siqing sneered. Was it her presence that made the original novel’s female lead suddenly lose all sense? Or maybe the protagonist’s intelligence had never been that high to begin with—she was only propped up in the book by the halo of being the main character.

But now that she, Gu Siqing, had returned, what drama could Gu Wanrou possibly perform?

Shen Qingyan looked seriously at Gu Wanrou. “You’re not even comparable to a single toe of my wife. Stop trying to glorify yourself. This isn’t some ‘love turned to hate’ thing. I just can’t stand seeing my wife being wronged, and I’m determined to get justice for her.”

As he spoke, he reached out and held Gu Siqing’s hand.

Seeing the two of them tightly clasping hands, rage surged in Gu Wanrou’s heart. She couldn’t care about appearances anymore and pointed at Gu Siqing while screaming, “What do you see in her? I’m telling you, she’s used goods!”

“She already slept with someone else! I’m pure! Why am I worse than her?”

“You must’ve found out Gu Siqing’s secret and got mad our family gave you a tainted woman, so now you’re taking revenge on me, right?!”

Compared to Shen Qingyan’s earlier statement, Gu Wanrou preferred this theory. Even the Gu family felt it made sense.

Yes, this had to be it! Shen Qingyan must’ve felt insulted by being given a woman who wasn’t chaste and was now retaliating. Everything earlier must have been an act. Any man would choose a pure girl over someone like Gu Siqing, right?

“Yes! That’s it!” Bai Cuiyan jumped in to support her daughter. “Our daughter is a hundred times better than that tramp!”

Shen Qingyan and Gu Siqing both felt their heads buzzing. This family really wasn’t made of normal people.

Meanwhile, the gossiping neighbors, hearing Gu Wanrou’s outburst, began to sway.

“She has a point. Even though Gu Wanrou impersonated someone to get into college, Gu Siqing already lost her virginity and has two kids!”

“Had two kids before marriage? Isn’t that the definition of a tramp?”

“If that’s true, then maybe the university spot really should go to Gu Wanrou.”

“She may have done something gross, but at least she’s not… used goods.”

“What’s the point of finding out the truth now? You can’t let someone with two kids go to college. What’s she going to do with that degree?”

“Honestly, giving that spot to someone like Gu Siqing is a waste. If it were my family, I’d insist someone pure go.”

“Going to college is sacred!”

A chorus of whispers filled the room. Shen Qingyan’s face turned grim as he listened, while Gu Siqing found it amusing. The things these people were saying were almost word-for-word what Gu Dakai’s family used to tell her.

They all believed that just because she had lost her virginity, she wasn’t worthy of attending college. They thought a student should be morally perfect, with good grades, appearance, and character. She lacked so much, wouldn’t her attendance only bring shame?

Hearing the same old brainwashing rhetoric, Gu Siqing just wanted to laugh. The past version of her might have believed it, but not anymore. She was back now—and she wasn’t buying any of it.

Why should she give up what belonged to her?

Even if she didn’t attend university, she wouldn’t hand over her spot to Gu Wanrou!

Besides, it was Gu Wanrou who framed her in the first place and caused her to lose her innocence.

“She’s not a tramp,” Shen Qingyan said through clenched fists. “Dabao and Xiaobao are my children. Back then, I was on a confidential mission. I got drunk and forced myself on Siqing.”

He took full responsibility. “I’ve been searching for them for years, and now that I’ve found them, we’ve gotten married. Siqing is not a tramp.”

He repeated himself for emphasis. The neighbors all heard him loud and clear.

Their minds were racing—this was one shocking revelation after another.

The Gu family, standing off to the side, were stunned. They were sure Shen Qingyan was trying to cover for Gu Siqing.

“What kind of spell did that woman put on you? She cheated on you and you still believe her?!”

“Shen Qingyan, I thought you were just lame, but turns out you’re also a fool!”

Gu Wanrou raged on, not believing such a coincidence was possible.

But then someone outside—the same auntie who had been gossiping the loudest—suddenly shouted, “Hey, now that he says it, doesn’t Dabao look a lot like him?”

Everyone turned to examine Shen Qingyan in his wheelchair.

Dabao and Xiaobao had grown up in the compound; the neighbors all knew what they looked like. Now that they were comparing, some began to nod.

“They really do resemble him—especially their faces and noses.”

“Yeah, they really do!”

Once someone opened the floodgates, the rest followed suit.

“If they’re his biological kids, then this isn’t such a big deal after all.”

“Shen Qingyan is a retired soldier. Look at his leg—he probably got injured on a dangerous mission. In that situation, he probably didn’t even know what happened.”

“So doesn’t that make Gu Siqing the mother of two military kids?”

“Exactly!”

The public opinion shifted again.

People who were initially criticizing Gu Siqing for not being worthy of attending college now looked at her with sympathy.

She was a victim, too.

“If that’s the case, this family is just reuniting. There’s no need to say she harmed anyone.”

“Right. Maybe he’s even happy. Reunited, with twins no less—and a boy and a girl! That’s rare good fortune!”

With that realization, the neighbors looked at Gu Wanrou with growing disdain.

“Come on, we all know what kind of person she is.”

“She’s just like her mom—always looking down on others!”

“She probably thinks Siqing reclaiming her identity is an attack on her!”

“Pah! She should take a look in the mirror. What makes her think she’s better than Gu Siqing?”

“When Gu Siqing cleans up, she’s really quite beautiful.”

Someone glanced at Gu Siqing. She wore a light-colored long dress that reached her ankles, paired with leather shoes, and her complexion looked great.

Gu Siqing touched her face. After drinking a few days of spiritual spring water and with her naturally good foundation, of course she looked radiant. The dress was a gift from Qi Yuan last night—perfect for today.

Even Bai Cuiyan and Gu Dakai, standing behind, scrutinized her and Shen Qingyan. This coincidence… was just too much.

Gu Wanrou, still dazed from the public backlash, glanced at Shen Qingyan and realized with a jolt: Dabao really did resemble him. Were they actually father and son?

No! How could this be happening?

Her heart was in chaos.

She had drugged Gu Siqing back then to destroy her, not accidentally set her up with Shen Qingyan!

She had used a potent drug supposedly used by thugs to break the will of resistant girls. After drugging Gu Siqing, she figured the girl would lose control, ruin her purity, and willingly give up her university spot in shame.

She never cared who the man was—so she hadn’t followed Gu Siqing.

How could fate twist things like this?

She originally thought even if Gu Siqing married Shen Qingyan—a disabled man—she still wouldn’t be worthy.

Even though she herself didn’t care for Shen Qingyan because of his leg, she knew the Shen family was wealthy and powerful. Gu Siqing wasn’t worthy of marrying into it.

In Gu Wanrou’s mind, Gu Siqing was just a servant. She belonged on a leash, begging by her side—definitely not worthy of marrying up.

She should’ve married some poor guy. But Shen Qingyan’s family had offered a high bride price—1,888 yuan—and her parents wanted the money and the future benefits they might gain from the Shen family.

Especially since Qi Yuan was a college professor and Shen Mengzhou had a high rank in the military. Marrying into that family would help even her future prospects.

So she grudgingly allowed Gu Siqing to marry in her place.

But who would’ve guessed it would bring them all back together as a real family?

And now, today, Gu Siqing stood there shining—overshadowing her completely.

While Gu Wanrou stood stunned, the officer cleared his throat.

“Now that you’ve said your piece, come with us.”

They weren’t interested in the drama. They were here to investigate the crime of impersonating someone to get into college.

And that required taking Gu Wanrou in.

“No—I won’t go!” Gu Wanrou tried hiding behind Bai Cuiyan. “I didn’t impersonate anyone!”

The officer’s patience wore thin, his voice stern: “This isn’t the time to argue. We’ll investigate whether you impersonated someone.”

“Using someone else’s identity to attend college is a crime—you could go to jail.”

Jail?

The entire Gu family panicked.

Gu Wanrou’s legs gave out and she nearly collapsed—Bai Cuiyan barely caught her.

Faced with the cold, unfeeling stare of the officer, Gu Wanrou cried out, shaking her head.

“No, I don’t want to go to jail! That college spot was voluntarily given to me by Gu Siqing! She knew she wasn’t worthy, so she gave it to me! Why should I be punished?!”
