Chapter 61

Prof. Dai looked at his pocket watch and said to Yang Yuyan, “Yan Yan, you should go home first, comfort your sister and come back to me tomorrow.”

Yang Yuyan quickly agrees, she is definitely not in the mood to continue learning Russian today, she is worried about how to ask for a leave of absence, but she doesn’t want Prof. Dai to be so understanding.

“Thank you professor, then I’ll come back tomorrow.” She even bowed after saying that and went to find Yang Yucan.

Yang Yucan still wanted to confront the other people in the book club to see who was secretly spreading rumors about her, but she was tightly pulled by Zhang Ma, “Missy, quickly go back with me, madam is angry!”

As soon as she mentioned Zhu Yanshu was angry, Yang Yucan’s guilt rose in her heart, she had always been unwilling to give her mother any trouble, she had always wanted to help her mother take care of the family, take care of her younger sister, but she didn’t realize that she had been the one who had been causing trouble.

Yang Yucan lost the mood to confront her classmates and promised to go home first to apologize to Zhu Yan Shu.

Yang Yuyan comforted her, “Sis, mom definitely won’t be mad at you, she’s just mad at those little people.”

Su Chunjun also came over after saying goodbye to Professor Dai and said, “Don’t worry, go back and discuss what to do.”

Yang Yuyan and Zhang Ma both look at him.

Yang Yuyan: “Are you coming home with us too? What time is it now?”

Su Chunjun just bought a watch, sniffing dashingly, he lifted his wrist to look at the time and said, “It’s eleven o’clock.”

Zhang Ma bluffed, “You’re still going back with us? You’re not going to work?”

Su Chunjun laughed: “It’s okay, I’ll go to the bureau in the afternoon,” Zhang Ma muttered: “It’s okay, I’ll go to the bureau in the afternoon.”

Ms. Zhang muttered, “What kind of work are you doing?”

A group of people on the yellow car back to the Zhu family building, Zhu Yanshu already dressed, is sitting on the phone, she heard the door ringing, said to the person on the phone: “Professor Xie, thanks for taking care of you, and then go to find you to say thank you later.”

Yang Yucicang walked in and heard “Professor Xie” on the phone and said in surprise, “Mom? Why are you calling my professor? Do you know Professor Xie?”

Zhu Yanshu glared at her, hung up the phone, stood up and crossed her arms and said, “You’ve studied under him for three years, so of course I’m going to question him about how he takes care of my daughter! How can you ask that kind of villain to mix in the university!”

Su Chunjun was also surprised, he had wanted to start with the student union to teach that Qian classmate a lesson, but he didn’t expect Ms. Zhu to go straight to the other professor. However, it’s reasonable to think about it, when Miss Yang enrolled in the university, Ms. Zhu must have inquired about Miss Yang’s professor, even if she didn’t know him back then, she should have known him three years down the road.

Yang Yucan stood in front of Zhu Yanshu and bowed to admit her mistake, “Mom, it’s all my fault, I didn’t act cautiously at school before attracting a villain. This has nothing to do with Professor Xie.”

Zhu Yanshu rolled her eyes, propped up her forehead and said, “How did I give birth to this stupid girl? I see that your sister is now more savvy than you. Yan Yan, come on, what am I looking for Professor Xie for?” She pointed at her youngest daughter and asked.

Yang Yuyan was pointed at and asked for no reason, but she didn’t want to be the cannon fodder in the mother-sister quarrel, and vaguely said, “Probably just asking Professor Xie for a leave of absence, right? Isn’t sister going to rest at home?”

Zhu Yanshu nodded and smiled instead, “That’s right. I just called to ask Professor Xie for a leave of absence, saying that you need to help with family matters, and that you won’t be going to school for a while, taking a long vacation for you.”

Then without thinking, she brings up the rumors that are now circulating in the school, clarifying that her daughter is a good classmate with everyone, and doesn’t have any special feelings with any of them, hoping that Professor Xie will understand.

Prof. Xie of course said he understood. He assured Ms. Zhu that the school was a very pure place, and the fact that female students came to the school represented the trust that the students’ parents had in the school, and that their school would never fail to live up to that trust. He was absolutely convinced that Yang Yucchan had not become emotionally involved with any male students, and he was also very anxious and angry about the rumors that were now circulating in the school, and he would clarify the matter among the students as soon as possible.

“Gao Ming.” Su Chunjun poured a cup of tea for himself and sincerely admired, “You’re taking the heat out of the situation.”

Zhang Ma had already brought fruit tea for everyone, it was too late to make lunch today, so she had to have an outside restaurant deliver it, but even then she couldn’t relax and was busy.

Yang Yuyan held a hot cup of tea in her hand to warm her hands, sitting on the single sofa, giving up the three-person sofa to Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yucan. Her own mother was teaching her sister a lesson, she should not get involved.

Teacher Su stood behind Yang Yuyan, sincerely wanting to rely on another lunch, so he acted very naturally and half-heartedly gave Zhang Ma a reason to kick himself out. He couldn’t wait to speak, vowing to join in the lively discussion.

He said, “The school has always been very concerned about reputation, although nowadays society can hear from time to time that female college students have gone off in pursuit of love, but inside the school it is very much rejecting this kind of thing.”

Yang Yuyan seemed to understand, “Is it because of the bad reputation?”

Su Chunjun laughed, “Pretty much. After all, there are very few female students nowadays, and the school has always wanted to advocate for women to receive higher education, but the school is a co-educational school, and the professors are basically all male. So in order for the parents of female students to feel comfortable sending their students in to study, the school pays a lot of attention to this aspect, even if it’s just a rumor, as long as there’s the slightest hint of it, the school will be strictly investigated, and will never allow accidents of enticing female students to occur in the school.” So it was simply impossible for someone like Yang Xuhe to enter the school and become a professor.

Yang Yu Cicada had never noticed this aspect, and she said in surprise, “But there are many people in the school who are in love.”

Su Chunjun said, “It’s okay for love to sprout between classmates, but when it comes to love, it stops with manners, if someone crosses the line during the school year, they’ll be disciplined on both counts. Of course, there is no harm for newlyweds. It’s absolutely not okay to have an affair without a match. Teachers and teachers are also never allowed to have love affairs with students.”

She thought that love was encouraged in school, really, there were many works that glorified new age love when various student groups discussed literature, and the school never prohibited it.

Su Chunjun took a sip of tea and said, “It’s because the school doesn’t want to restrict students’ minds with rules and regulations. But the professors have it in their minds that once they cross the line, they will definitely be penalized.”

So when Ms. Zhu made this phone call, Qian had to put down whatever thoughts he had for the time being, he had to deal with the professors and the school’s investigation of him first.

Su Chunjun sighed in his heart, his problem solving mindset was still that of a student, not compared to Ms. Zhu, who was looking directly from above. It seems that he still needs to grow more before he can do so.

Yang Yuchan looked at him and suddenly said, “You’ve never participated in a book club.”

Su Chunjun: “I didn’t participate in any clubs.” He was a lone wolf who had always kept to himself in school and did not socialize too deeply with anyone.

Yang Yuchan suddenly realized that she might have been wrong about Su Chunjun all along. In the past, she thought he was a poor student, and after he became romantically involved with Yang Yuyan, she thought he was an opportunist, and when he went to serve in the Finance Bureau and quickly gained a firm foothold, she was even more unable to believe that he was a good person.

On the contrary, Zhu Yanshu kept praising him, and Yang Yuyan’s feelings for him grew deeper and deeper, and even Zhang Ma fell in love with him.

Now, Yang Yuyan felt that Su Chunjun was even more mysterious as a person.

If he didn’t have a single friend in school and gave up all opportunities to socialize, how did he become a long-sleeved man as soon as he entered the Finance Bureau?

If he had always been a long-sleeved person, then how could he be silent in school?

This is too contradictory.

Yang Yucan fell into deep thought, not letting anyone realize that she was suspicious of Su Chunjun. She watched as he bent down to talk to Yang Yuyan, making her little sister smile.

As an older sister, she liked her sister. But in all honesty, Yan Yan really didn’t have many good qualities, maybe she was young and pretty enough, but would that be enough to attract Su Chunjun?

She used to think that he had feelings for Yan Yan because he wanted to continue to live in Zhu Jia Lou, and perhaps wanted to marry a rich wife. But since he has been doing better and better in the Finance Bureau, he has more and more valuable things on his body, besides the coat or the ones given to him by the Zhu family, watches, leather shoes, purses, hats, etc., the same kind of good things keep appearing on his body.

He doesn’t lack money anymore, so will the dowry that Yan Yan will bring when she gets married in the future still be attractive to him?

He really does like Yan Yan, doesn’t he?……

Su Chunjun felt the line of sight and looked up to find it was Yang Yucan who was staring at him warily. He didn’t care, ever since he had shown that he liked Yan Yan, this Miss Yang had always looked at him with this kind of look, as if he would abduct Miss Yang Er and sell her.

Speaking of which, he actually felt that even if there was no problem with Ma Tianbao, it wouldn’t be too easy for him when he wanted to join this family. Because after any man appeared beside a woman in this family, he would have to face plural picks, from head to toe, inside and out.

So it’s best if he’s flawless, like himself, such a perfect man to be able to carry all these nitpicks and succeed in becoming the guest of honor in the Zhu family.

Otherwise, he would be like Ma Tianbao, who was out of the game without even knowing exactly where his failures lay.

Su Chunjun put down the tea cup he finished drinking, and Zhang Ma came over to collect the cups, surprised, “Teacher Su, you are staying for dinner, right?”

Su Chunjun’s face is as thick as a city wall, and has long been unafraid of Zhang Ma’s knives and sticks, smiling, “If it’s not too much trouble.”

Zhang Ma said with a smile, “Aiyo, what’s the trouble? I had anticipated that you would stay, and specially ordered an extra dish.”

The restaurant across the street quickly delivered lunch, and Zhang Ma changed the plates, sent the delivery boy away, and set the table before coming to call everyone over to eat.

When Zhu Yanshu sat down, Zhang Ma purposely placed the fish in front of her, “Ma’am, the fish in this restaurant is quite well done, you try it.”

Zhu Yanshu took a chopstick and said, “It’s not as good as your cooking, but the fish is fresh.”

Zhang Ma said happily, “I can’t, let’s make do for lunch today, I’ll make it for you tonight.”

Yang Yuyan took a fancy to the Four Happiness Dumplings, but didn’t want to eat a whole one by herself, and after scooping two spoons by herself, she pushed the plate to Su Chunjun.

Only when Su Chunjun was about to reach out, Yang Yucan looked up and said, “Yan Yan, you share the food with me, I can’t finish one either. Mr. Su has a big appetite, he can eat a whole one.”

Yang Yuyan then turned her hand and handed it to her.

Su Chunjun secretly sighed, with the two mountains of Zhang Ma and Miss Yang, his path of love is so interesting.

With a heart of thwarted love, Mr. Su ate two fist-sized meatballs alone with great pleasure.

The last lion’s head went to Zhang Ma, Mr. Su admired Zhang Ma’s appetite, she could still eat a meatball alone at this age, even if it was steamed.

But this dish is really good, meatballs in addition to pork, but also mixed with ham to improve the freshness, put the water chestnut diced to add flavor.

Zhu Yanshu ate a plate of fish by herself, eating only a fish bone left before wiping her mouth. After the plates were all put away, she said to Zhang Ma, “Pack out a box of the snacks that the family saved for Chinese New Year, I’m going to visit the hospital this afternoon.”

Yang Yuyan curiously asked, “Who’s sick?”

Yang Yuchan’s heart fluttered, followed by Zhu Yanshu staring at her, immediately tensing up.

Zhu Yan Shu said, “Who else can I look at? Of course it’s the family of Ma’s classmate. Didn’t you say that they are staying in the hospital and the Jin family is paying for their medical bills? I’ll go take a look and see how they’re staying.” She deliberately asked Yang Yucan, “Do you want to go?”

Yang Yucan had also gone to the hospital twice before the New Year to deliver donations, and she had also been worried about the Ma family’s situation for a long time, but she simply couldn’t get away during the New Year, and she didn’t dare to say that she wanted to go to the hospital to see Ma Tianbao. By now, her state of mind has changed, but some fear to see Ma Tianbao.

After seeing, what will she say? What will he say?

The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see him.

Su Chunjun said: “I’ll go with you, as a classmate to visit, just ask him, is not surnamed Qian went to see him to say those words.”

Yang Yucan was violently shocked.

Yang Yuyan was shocked plus angry, “It was Ma Tianbao who said he was abandoned?!”

Su Chunjun and Zhu Yanshu exchanged a look that belonged to an adult, he turned his head to comfort Yang Yuyan, “No, none of us know the situation, we just thought that the one surnamed Qian might have been to the hospital and came back to make up those nonsense words.”

Even after saying this, Yang Yuyan was still furious, she said, “I want to go too!”

Su Chunjun’s repeated persuasion failed to dissuade Yang Yuyan, and Yang Yucan decided to go to the hospital even after hearing Su Chunjun’s words, even if she might be worse off if she showed up now. She wanted to know the truth.

Zhu Yanshu doesn’t care about these people, going back to her bedroom to take a nap before getting up, dressing up neatly, bringing up snacks, saying, “It’s fine to go together, but don’t talk too much when you get there.”

Yang Yuyan immediately swore: “I promise.”

Zhu Yanshu: “Teacher Su, keep an eye on her.” She hands the snack box to Yang Yuyan, “Here, you carry it.”

She took the pearl handbag herself and walked at the front, “Let’s go.”
