Chapter 453 - The First Song of Qin (26) (1/2)

“Chu-Chu, Aunty, calm down.” Chen Xi stood between the two. “Aunty, give Chu-Chu a chance to explain.”

“What’s there to explain? There are pictures already! Everything’s clear as daylight! I sent her to school to study, not seduce men!”

Qiao-mu’s words caused Chen Xi to feel rather uncomfortable.

‘After something so major has happened, isn’t the first reaction a mother should have is to suppress the matter? Does she not care about her daughter’s reputation? Yet she actually came to school to cause a scene with Chu-Chu…’

“I felt like it. What can you do about it?” Shi Sheng harrumphed coldly.

“You you you…ungrateful little! Just why did I have to give birth to such a troublemaker?! Might as well not have given birth at all!”

“Want to shove me back? Too late. There’s no such thing as medicine for regret.”

What you gave her, she would return to you several fold. This had always been Shi Sheng’s principle.

“You…” Qiao-mu was angered to the point of heaving.

“Qiao Chu.” A magnetic voice sounded from behind Shi Sheng as a tall figure pulled her into his arms. “Are you okay?”

“Limbs are all intact.”

Only now did Qin Ge’s tense nerves loosen up. He put an arm around Shi Sheng and turned to face Qiao-mu. “Aunty Qiao, I was the one who pursued Qiao Chu. If you have any problems, just direct your anger at me.”

Qin Ge’s appearance caused the atmosphere to turn even more intense. Had he not been holding onto Shi Sheng, Qiao-mu probably would’ve had a good impression of him. His academic qualifications were simply impeccable, and he had become a professor at such a young age.

The one bad thing was that he and Shi Sheng had a teacher-student relationship.

“Mr Qin, my daughter is young and immature. You guys have no future together. You shouldn’t ruin your career.”

“All I have now is her.” Qin Ge spoke very firmly. “So, I’m sorry Aunty Qiao, but I won’t let her go.”

Shi Sheng tightened her grip on Qin Ge’s hand. ‘I’m all you need.’

He could give up everything but her.

This time, Qiao-mu was truly angered into fainting. Qiao Qian’qian was in the crowd watching for who-knows-how-long. When Qiao-mu collapsed, she rushed out and hurriedly called the emergency line to send Qiao-mu to the hospital.

This matter ought to have caused a lot of uproar, but everyone calmed down after the school announced that Professor Qin had resigned.

Those who didn’t know the true reason all thought that Qin Ge resigned for Shi Sheng. The number of envious and jealous women could circle the world if they all held hands at this point.

But there were also some who were optimistic about this pairing. After all, wasn’t it true love being able to resign for the other party?

Shi Sheng also made arrangements to quit school. Now that Qin Ge was no longer here and the FL was going abroad, why would she continue to stay?

Her bro, Chen Xi, was probably the only one who didn’t want to see her go.

The two met at the library. As for why the library in particular? Who knew what Chen Xi was thinking?

“Are you really quitting school?” Chen Xi had an unhappy expression. “You don’t have to leave now that Professor Qin has.”

“No point staying here.” Shi Sheng shook her head.

“So this was all that I mean to you?” Chen Xi cried in mock anger. “Have you no conscience? And after all I did for you!”

Shi Sheng’s lips twitched. “If I remained here to accompany you, Qin Ge would kill you.”

Chen Xi coughed. “If Professor Qin mistreats you, just tell me—I’ll help you pummel him!”

“With your body…you sure you can win?”

“Chu-Chu, don’t look down on me! I just look skinny with clothes on! I’m actually really muscular underneath!” Chen Xi retorted. “Look! I have biceps!”

Shi Sheng didn’t want to discuss a topic his future girlfriend should be concerned with. “Give me a call when it’s time for you to intern. I’ll arrange it for you.”

University students had a hard time finding jobs nowadays, so they had to make use of every asset at their disposal. Therefore, Chen Xi didn’t decline her offer. They were bros; if he did so, it’d make things awkward.

“Then this one will be relying on Qiao-zong in the future. Hopefully, you don’t mind helping this little bro along on the road to being a CEO and marrying an ideal woman.” Chen Xi gave a very overexaggerated bow. His peripheral vision caught sight of someone who just came in. “Your prof’s here. I’ll be off then. Keep in touch.”

Chen Xi was still very afraid of Qin Ge—even if the latter was now his bro’s man.
