Chapter 23 - A Disabled Leg

Gu Xiang'an's idea was to use external factors to expose her identity. As Gu Dongxue said, he had found a loophole in her own words.

Gu Nanyu suddenly thought of the words Fu Beichen said to her just before they parted ways.

Fu Beichen had advised her to overcome her crisis before talking about other matters.

At that time, Gu Nanyu did not understand what Fu Beichen meant, but now she had figured it out.

Fu Beichen had done an investigation on her!

Fu Beichen had doubts about her gender, and so he definitely knew Gu Xiang'an's plan.

That was why he said that.

What is his objective?

Gu Nanyu was thinking about Fu Beichen's purpose and the reason for his warning.

According to Gu Nanyu's understanding of Fu Beichen, she knew that Fu Beichen did not mean her any harm.

If her guess were right, Fu Beichen had wanted to remind her.

Gu Nanyu could not think of a way to solve the problem. Students from Second Class were about to be done with the examination and the homeroom teacher was beckoning them in with a yell.

When it was almost her turn, Gu Nanyu was so worried that her forehead was full of sweat.

Seeing that it was already Gu Nanyu's turn to enter but she was still standing there, the homeroom teacher called her name, "Gu Nanyu, it's your turn."

"Teacher, I…"

Just before Gu Nanyu could speak, she was interrupted by the homeroom teacher.

"Gu Nanyu, you have always excused yourself with one reason or another to get away with every medical check-up before this. But I can tell you that this time is different! Those who do not take this medical check-up will be disqualified from the exam!"

Gu Nanyu subtly clenched her fists.

"Go in quickly, don't keep the others waiting."

Gu Nanyu lifted her foot and walked into the examination room. With every step she took, her heart felt a little heavier.

At this moment, the form master came and asked the homeroom teacher in front of the students in Third Class.

"Is there a student named Gu Nanyu in your class?"

���Yes, what's wrong, form master?"

"The principal asked Gu Nanyu to go to his office," the form master replied.

Gu Nanyu heard what she said and it sounded like an angel's choir.

Turning back, she walked toward the form master, wrapped her arms around the form master's neck, and gave her a smooch.

"Form master, I love you so much!"

After Gu Nanyu spoke, she ran toward the principal's office.

"This kid…" The form master wiped her face and looked at Gu Nanyu's distant figure with a helpless expression.

When Gu Nanyu arrived at the principal's office, she knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Gu Nanyu went into the room.

Just when Gu Nanyu entered the room, she looked up and saw the person sitting opposite the principal.

The person's back was facing her, but just from seeing that, his aura was enough to attract all the attention to himself.

The principal saw Gu Nanyu and stood up with a smile.

"Nanyu, you're here! Your uncle is here to pick you up, and I just knew that you're a nephew of the Fu family. If you face any problems in school next time, you can come directly to me!"

Uncle...

Upon hearing this word, Gu Nanyu felt like she was struck by lightning.

As expected, Fu Beichen was highly respected. There were 3,000 students in the school but the principal knew her name. How amazing was that?

Fu Beichen then turned around and glanced at the principal before speaking gently and politely, "Thank you so much for today, principal, I would like to excuse myself now."

"Alright, you take care. I'll visit you at your residence someday." The principal bowed a little unconsciously when he spoke, seemingly trying to curry favor with the man.

When Fu Beichen turned and walked to Gu Nanyu's side, he halted for a moment.

Then he went past Gu Nanyu, who was still dumbfounded. She heard Fu Beichen's voice in her ears, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to do the medical check-up?"

Gu Nanyu could not respond.

Gu Nanyu could not bother about anything else now. Uncle, it is! If you can help me skip the medical check-up, I can even address you as my father!

Gu Nanyu followed Fu Beichen all the way out of the school. When she arrived at the school gate, she suddenly remembered what the homeroom teacher had said.

She said that she would be barred from the exams if she did not take the physical check-up. Gu Nanyu could not help asking Fu Beichen, "About the check-up results…"

Fu Beichen turned around and eyed her from top to bottom.

He was reminded of that night when she took off her top at that moment of desperation and claimed that she was a man without batting an eye.

"It will not affect your exams," Fu Beichen told her before getting into a Hummer.

When he got into the car, he glanced at Gu Nanyu.

"Get in."

Gu Nanyu got into the car obediently this time. When she saw Fu Beichen's cold face, Gu Nanyu could not help asking, "What did you say to the principal to waive my medical check-up?"

Fu Beichen raised his lips slightly upon her question.

"I told him about your disability, and I'm worried that having a physical examination before your classmates would make you feel inferior."

"F..." When Gu Nanyu heard that, she could not resist herself from swearing.

As Fu Beichen glared at her, Gu Nanyu abruptly changed her sentence, "F-fantastic excuse! May I know which part of me did you say was disabled?"

If you dare say that I am mentally disabled, I will bite you to death!

Fu Beichen replied calmly, "Your leg."

Gu Nanyu was very confused. Her two legs could run awfully fast. As long as the principal was not blind, it was not hard to see that her legs were not disabled.

"And the principal believed that?"

"It's normal for a man who has a disability on his third leg to not take a medical check-up in front of others. He has no reason not to believe it."

F*ck!
