At this moment, the chancellor was not around. His assistant was sorting out documents at the side. When he saw Madam Zhou enter, he received her warmly and casually asked why she was here.
The next second, he heard Madam Zhouâs angry and sharp voice. âYour universityâs teacher, Qiao Xi, seduced my son!â
The assistant: â???â âOh my God! Did I hear wrongly?â
Madam Zhou did not notice the assistantâs abnormality and continued to shout loudly, âMy son has long been engaged. He canât be ruined by such a vixen. I want the chancellor to expel Qiao Xi! How can such a person be a teacher? The students she teaches must be learning how to seduce men like her!â
The assistant was speechless and revealed a disdainful expression. Where did this woman get her confidence from to actually think that Qiao Xi would like her idiot son?
He controlled the expression on his face and tried his best to sound calm. âMadam Zhou, dating is allowed in university. Your son, Zhou Linâan, is already an adult. The university canât control who he wants to pursue. If you donât agree, you should go home and discuss it with your son instead of coming to the university to cause trouble.â
The meaning behind his words was obvious. âSince you donât want your son to be in a relationship, then control your son! Why are you looking for trouble with others?â
Moreover, Teacher Qiao was not an ordinary person. She was Gu Zhengâs wife! It was clearly her son who was harassing her. How could she ask the university to expel Teacher Qiao?
After a moment of silence, the assistant reminded her, âMadam Zhou, actually, Teacher Qiao already has⦠a boyfriend.â
He did not reveal the matter of Qiao Xiâs marriage. He just wanted to tell Madam Zhou that Qiao Xi already had a partner and that she would not like Zhou Linâan. Then, he continued, âMoreover, I remember that Student Zhou is an exchange student who just returned to the university today. Itâs impossible for Teacher Qiao to know him, so could there be a misunderstanding? Why donât you go home and ask your son about it first? Moreover, the university has no right to interfere in a studentâs relationship. We canât fire an outstanding teacher just because of a groundless rumor.â
The assistant thought that he had made himself very clear. He wanted Madam Zhou to know that she was looking for trouble. He hoped that she would quickly get out of the chancellorâs office and not cause trouble for him.
Madam Zhou also knew very well that just because the two of them were in a relationship, the university could not directly expel Qiao Xi. However, so what? She was the mistress of the Zhou family. It was easy for her to expel a university teacher. Could it be that the chancellor would offend the Zhou family for Qiao Xi?
Hence, Madam Zhou did not listen to her assistant at all. She straightened her neck and said, âI want to see the chancellor. I have to get Qiao Xi expelled!â
The assistantâs expression instantly darkened, and his tone became cold. He no longer had the gentle attitude from before. âMadam Zhou, your family doesnât own the university. You canât just expel anyone you want!â
Madam Zhou glanced at him in disdain. âYouâre just an assistant. You have no right to criticize me. I want to talk to the chancellor!â
âMadam Zhou, itâs useless even if you look for the chancellor. He wonât fire Teacher Qiao because of a groundless rumor. Since your Zhou family strictly forbids your son from dating, then Iâll have to trouble you to control your son!â
The assistantâs words instantly caused Madam Zhou to explode. She stood up with a bang, her face red with anger. She roared while trembling, âYou dare to speak to me like this? Just you wait! Iâll teach you a lesson!
âQiao Xi canât be considered an outstanding teacher. Sheâs a vixen who only knows how to seduce men. She must know that our family is rich, so she wants to marry into a rich family. I think you were seduced by that woman too, so youâre speaking up for her and even stopping me from seeing the chancellor!â
âWatch your words! Please leave immediately!â The assistant frowned.
Madam Zhou probably did not expect that an assistant would treat her so rudely and even want to chase her away. She instantly stomped her feet in anger. âAlright! When the tiger isnât at home, the monkey rules. Youâre just an assistant, yet you still dare to treat me like this. Iâll come again tomorrow. I definitely wonât stop until I see the chancellor!â
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her branded bag and walked out angrily.
Actually, Qiao Xi did not take this matter to heart at all, but in just a day, rumors had already spread. Everyone was saying that because Zhou Linâan had performed very well as an exchange student overseas, Li City University happened to have a guaranteed spot for him to study in one of the top five universities overseas. However, for the sake of being with Qiao Xi, Zhou Linâan actually refused.
