Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 778: The Young Ancestor Casually Uses a Finishing Move

Gu Shiyin smiled gently, maintaining her composure and elegance, as she accepted the bracelet Xi Rubao handed her.

"I’ve worn this bracelet for quite a long time. I had lent it to Pingting before, but she gained weight and couldn’t wear it, so she returned it to me."

"It’s my fault too; I shouldn’t have worn jewelry while preparing for the academy competition today."

"If I hadn’t worn it today, none of these unpleasant events would have happened..."

She spoke softly.

The tender tone immediately garnered her some goodwill.

The freshmen couldn’t help but sigh:

"Teacher Gu, you are truly kind, always thinking of others, and even sparing the dignity of the thief, putting the blame on yourself..."

"No wonder our academy’s motto is ’Practicing medicine lies in medical ethics’ and ’Saving people lies in healing the heart’; I see this precious virtue in Teacher Gu..."

"Teacher Gu, your conduct truly earns my admiration..."

Amidst the voices of praise.

Gu Shiyin elegantly tried to slip the bracelet onto her wrist.

Once.

Twice.

She suddenly frowned, stopped speaking, and looked at the bracelet that wouldn’t fit.

What’s going on?

She hadn’t gained any weight over the years, maintaining a good figure and weight. How could it be... that it wouldn’t fit?!

The Beauty Jade Bracelet moaned silently: Ever since I changed owners, I’ve practically starved to death, lost a lot of weight, and shrunk in size, so of course you can’t wear me now!

Gu Shiyin was unaware of the underlying reason.

She abandoned her graceful posture and tried hard to put it on, but it wouldn’t fit, and her hand turned red and almost chafed.

This made her deeply suspicious: Could it be that this jade bracelet really wasn’t hers?

She could only make an excuse to smooth over the awkward moment: "It seems I’ve gained a little weight..."

The next second.

Zuzi’s light voice, sounding faintly, questioned: "Didn’t you swear you wore it today? Did you gain so much weight in just a few hours?"

Gu Shiyin: "..."

Just now, everyone had been praising Gu Shiyin, but they suddenly felt like they had swallowed a fly: "..."

So this wasn’t Teacher Gu’s bracelet at all?

Did Teacher Gu wrongfully accuse someone?

Even Chu Qiaoen and Sun Yunyun, who wanted to speak for Gu Shiyin, couldn’t find an excuse.

The bracelet not fitting was the biggest loophole.

Who would have thought that Zuzi, the girl from the county, would come and effortlessly deliver a killer blow, without needing to lift a hand!

Gu Shiyin’s face stiffened. As expected of her, even in such a terrible predicament, she quickly changed the narrative to smooth things over: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Let’s continue preparing for the academic competition, and not let this small matter delay the important events."

Saying this, she swiftly returned the bracelet to Xi Rubao, ready to leave the center of the storm as if nothing had happened.

At other times, her tricks might have worked.

After all, as a teacher, the students couldn’t easily criticize her, and indeed the competition was important, so no one wanted to delay progress.

However.

Just as Gu Shiyin turned around, a lazy voice behind her rang out faintly: "Do you think you can just leave by calling it a misunderstanding? You nearly got my baby expelled. Accusing someone of being a thief is no small matter."

Zuzi’s calm yet sharp words gave Gu Shiyin pause.

She accompanied a forced smile, her lips twitching slightly: "This... was really a misunderstanding. Once cleared up, everything will be fine."

Damn it, do they still want her to publicly apologize?

If nothing else, she might reluctantly say a few words just to settle it!

"I’m truly sorry..." She had just barely begun to speak.

But was once again rudely interrupted by Zuzi: "A verbal apology, just paying lip service, is meaningless."
