Chapter 147: Forgive His Bluntness

Bai Chuwei was considering whether to reply to Duan Feihan that he was overthinking when a girl walked by and said in a tone that was neither cold nor warm, “You may not have learned much else at school, but you sure learned how to hook up with men.”

Bai Yinyin had clearly also heard about the rumor that Cao Yushu had “sent a love letter” to Bai Chuwei.

With Duan Xingye as her deskmate and knowing Lord Duan, Bai Chuwei definitely wouldn’t be interested in Cao Yushu. So, what was Bai Chuwei’s purpose in doing this?

According to her past experience, Bai Chuwei was just trying to lead Cao Yushu on, to suck his wallet dry, then kick him to the curb.

Duan Xingye and Su Ruan were directly red with anger—they had already found out that Cao Yushu had sought medical advice from Bai Chuwei!

Bai Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flickering in them: “Bai Yinyin, by the sound of it, you seem to have plenty of experience in hooking up with men.”

Bai Yinyin’s smiling face stiffened, and she glared fiercely at Bai Chuwei.

Duan Xingye, knowing that Bai Yinyin was usually not nice to Bai Chuwei, sneered, “Instead of studying properly at school, you’re all dolled up.”

Suddenly, Bai Yinyin covered her mouth and snickered, giving Bai Chuwei a meaningful look: “She doesn’t even have the chance to dress up if she wanted to.”

Immediately, the gossip started around them, with envious glances:

“Bai Yinyin is going to meet with Professor Zhao Guangming from the Calligraphy Department at Imperial Capital University this afternoon, right? It makes sense to dress up a bit.”

“If she could get on Professor Zhao’s good side, who knows if she’ll even have a chance to get into Imperial Capital University in the future?”

“…”

Imperial Capital University is one of the top colleges in China, and although many people aren’t fond of the Calligraphy Department, that doesn’t mean they can’t change majors after getting into Imperial Capital University.

What are they taking the college entrance exam for? Isn’t it just to get into a university? With top-tier prestigious universities in China, why spend money to go abroad for a gilt edge?

Bai Chuwei looked at Bai Yinyin with a mocking smile and said lightly, “I reminded you, Zhao Guangming is probably not looking for you.”

Don’t go, you’re only going to embarrass yourself.

Bai Yinyin glared fiercely at Bai Chuwei. Just because Bai Chuwei didn’t have the ability to meet Professor Zhao, she thought she could mess with her mind? Fat chance!

At four in the afternoon, under the envious gazes of her classmates, Bai Yinyin left the classroom with her chin up and a small backpack slung over her shoulder.

Bai Yinyin would have loved to take the whole day off to interact with Professor Zhao, but Zhao Guangming, worried about disrupting the student’s studies, scheduled the meeting rather late.

Upon reaching the appointed place, Bai Yinyin saw an elegantly dressed elder sipping tea.

Suppressing her excitement, Bai Yinyin approached and greeted him proactively, “Professor Zhao, hello, I’m Bai Yinyin.”

Zhao Guangming was also very excited and asked Bai Yinyin kindly, “Miss Bai, I hope I didn’t disturb you by asking you to come out here today?”

Bai Yinyin’s head shook like a rattle.

A disturbance? They just had a family dinner at the Bai Family’s place tonight, where Bai Chuwei would be formally introduced to her eldest uncle’s family.

She had argued with her grandfather yesterday, and even if she missed Bai Chuwei’s welcome party today, it wouldn’t affect her.

Bai Yinyin opened her backpack and took out all the calligraphy awards she had won over the years, then started to enthusiastically explain her understanding of calligraphy.

The more Zhao Guangming listened, the more he found it odd, his eyebrows gradually frowning into a “川” shape.

It wasn’t that Bai Yinyin’s explanation was bad, it’s just that… in front of this veteran Professor of the Calligraphy Department, her insights were too superficial.

After Bai Yinyin finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Guangming with anticipation, “Professor Zhao, what do you think about what I said?”

Zhao Guangming believed in the saying “character reflects in one’s handwriting.” On the exam paper, the free-spirited Spiritual White Script handwriting had led the professor to expect a girl of ethereal charm and otherworldly bearing.

He meant no offense, but Bai Yinyin’s demeanor did not seem like that of a student who could produce the Spiritual White Script.
