Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 180: Documents

Meng Yufan had abused her power to do this sort of thing many times in the past, and she had never thought that she would get into trouble for it. Back when she had stolen Shen Nianzhi’s position, she had a thorough background check of her and confirmed that she was an orphan.

She had also screened Gu Xiqiao’s background before, but she only got some basic information and data. As sly as she was, she wouldn’t move with so little information, but after she learned that this girl knew Shen Nianzhi from one of Shen Nianzhi’s roommates, she immediately thought that it was no problem.

After all, what sort of person with any power and self-respect be friends with Shen Nianzhi?

At least, that’s what she thought at the time.

In hindsight, who would have such a clean background? It must have been put there as a cover-up!

Upon thinking of this, Meng Yufan’s face paled, and she crawled up from the ground, her hands trembling as they gripped onto Meng Yu’s clothes like a lifeline. “D-Daddy, I didn’t mean to…”

“We will apologize to them later, understood?” She was his only daughter left behind by his wife that died from childbirth, so she had always been spoiled by the entire family that would give her the moon and stars if she wanted them, causing her to have the personality she had today.

Meng Yu greatly regretted not throwing her to live at Sima Jun’s back when she was little.

She and Mu Yunfan were childhood friends, and even her name was given to sound like his on purpose, but they had such a difference in demeanor and character!

Upon seeing Meng Yu’s expression that was filled with rage, Meng Yufan nodded, not daring to say another word.

At the same time, Zhu Yuan finally found Gu Xiqiao’s house.

He tidied himself up and knocked on the door, and the one that opened the door for him was a young boy.

Wait, did he get the address wrong? Zhu Yuan stepped back and checked on the house plate, before checking on the address that he had been sent on the phone before smiling. “Little boy, does Gu Xiqiao live here?”

Hua Youlin looked at Zhu Yuan, not saying a word and stepping back in a gesture to invite him in.

Were kids nowadays so mature? Or was it just because he lived together with Gu Xiqiao? Zhu Yuan walked into the house, and he finally met the first ‘person’ he knew. “Hi, Xixi.”

Xixi glanced at him, before squawking, “Beauty Qiao, Zhu Yuan’s here! Beauty Qiao, Zhu Yuan’s here!”

Zhu Yuan had seen Xixi in the lab before, and back then it only said simple words like ‘Beauty’, and it was quite similar to a regular parrot. This was the first time that he saw it look at him with such intelligent eyes and call his name.

<I think I saw a yokai bird, should I call the cops? Waiting online!>

“What do you want?” Gu Xiqiao asked with a side-eye glance as she twirled a pen in her hand.

“You- you- you!” Zhu Yuan walked over and saw her doing middle school physics. “If you have the time to do this, why would you not go to the lab? If you were my master’s student, he would probably smack you! Is it really alright to slack around all day like this?”

Didn’t she know how many people wanted to see her at the lab?

“But I’m not, am I?” Gu Xiqiao waved Hua Youlin over and showed him the steps to the physics question. “If you have the time to come here, why don’t you go to the lab instead?”
