Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Won’t Settle It Privately

Gu Zi simply could not fathom it—what on earth had she done to warrant such an elaborate smear campaign? It was as if Sun Qi and Huang Fei had made it their personal mission to drag her through the mud.

She distinctly remembered that Sun Qi had once harbored feelings for Gong Zhan—actually, she probably still did. But the women currently at his side were Lin Miao and Mo Li, not her.

So why wasn’t Sun Qi going after them instead? Why was she hell-bent on making Gu Zi’s life miserable? Unbelievable.

And then there was Huang Fei, who had instigated trouble time and time again. Gu Zi had largely ignored her antics, but rather than deterring her, it had only emboldened her further.

Well, that was about to change—Gu Zi had reached her limit. These two wouldn’t be getting away with this so easily.

The moment Captain He saw Gu Zi enter the room, he strode over, his expression serious.

“These two are the masterminds behind the entire ordeal,” he informed her. “Sun Qi wrote the article—she’s the ringleader. Huang Fei came up with the idea and aided her. You, Gu Zi, are the victim in all of this. Do you wish to settle this privately or take legal action?”

Gu Zi glanced at the two women, her lips curling into a cold smile. “Settle it privately? Absolutely not. Thanks to their little charade, my reputation is in tatters, and even Imperial Capital University has been dragged into the mess, making them look like fools for not knowing who they admit. Even if I were willing to sacrifice my own reputation, I certainly won’t allow them to tarnish the name of one of our country’s top universities.”

She crossed her arms, her voice sharp. “And let’s not forget which newspaper published this nonsense. The Education Daily, wasn’t it? A publication that is supposed to educate and inform the future of our nation, yet it chose to circulate such vile and baseless accusations. If an institution like that is allowed to exist unchecked, what does that say about journalistic integrity in this country? No, this matter will not be settled privately.”

Captain He nodded approvingly. In truth, he had a personal stake in this—after all, Gu Zi was now his good friend’s wife. If she had done something wrong, he would have been the first to call her out. But if she was the victim? Then he would ensure justice was served.

“Then we’ll proceed according to protocol,” he said firmly. “This incident is also linked to a prior police investigation regarding the theft of a dowry.”
