Chapter 20: Famous Protector

The next day, Jiang Xu went to University A early.

When she arrived at the school gate, she called Professor Wu, who said she was in the laboratory and asked her to wait for her in the Hanming Building.

When we were almost there, three girls came over from the next intersection.

The one who was supported by both sides was Jiang Xueruo.

She was wearing a beautiful princess dress and all the clothes she wore were branded items that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jiang Minghuai has always been a stingy person, so he probably wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on her. Jiang Xueruo's mistress relies on Jiang Minghuai for money, so it's even more impossible for her to be so generous.

So it's obvious why she dresses so well.

"Wow, Ruo Ruo, your bracelet is so beautiful. I've never seen you wear it before."

A girl said enviously.

Jiang Xueruo raised her wrist and smiled happily: "This is a birthday present from Brother Yanting."

This made the girls next to her even more envious.

"Mr. He cares so much about you that he's already prepared a gift for you before your birthday."

"Yeah, this one looks really expensive."

Jiang Xueruo shook her head: "It's just over 200,000 yuan. He has given me more expensive things before."

The girl said, "Mr. He is so generous to you, he must like you very much. I think you two are like the training system. When you graduate, he will marry you home and make you Mrs. He."

Jiang Xueluo was delighted by these words, but she said in a reserved tone, "No way, don't talk nonsense!"

"That's nonsense. Mr. He is a very busy man. He came over in the middle of the night to give you keys and buy you some midnight snacks after you called him. It's obvious that he loves you very much."

"Yes, yes, Ruo Ruo, you're like the heroine in the novel who's loved but unaware of it. Be careful of the overbearing CEO's forced pampering!"

Jiang Xueruo blushed slightly: "You are so mean, I didn't think that much."

She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were curling up wildly: "It's so hot today, let's go shopping. I'll treat you to hot pot."

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped.

Jiang Xu walked straight over and looked at Jiang Xueruo: "Didn't you say you were busy with the exam?"

Jiang Xueluo didn't expect Jiang Xu to come, and felt a little guilty. She explained, "You need to relax before the exam."

Jiang Xu curled her lips: "Since you have time, then give me grandma's bracelet."

Jiang Xueruo frowned: "I'm busy."

Jiang Xu sneered: "You have time to go shopping, but no time to pick up the bracelet. You've kept that bracelet for several years, and you're not willing to give it to me?"

Jiang Xueluo pursed her lips, her eyes provocative: "The thing is with me. I can give it to you whenever I want. It depends on my mood."

Jiang Xu was furious and grabbed her wrist: "Come with me!"

The two girls stepped forward to stop her, and one of them deliberately pinched her with her nails. Jiang Xu felt a sharp pain in her arm and subconsciously pushed the girls away.

The girl immediately shouted: "Hit someone! Hit someone!"

The security guard nearby came over and asked, "What's going on?"

The girl pointed at Jiang Xu and said, "She hits people!"

The security guard looked at Jiang Xu and asked, "Are you a student here?"

Jiang Xu glanced at the nail marks on his arm that were almost bleeding, and said lightly, "I've already graduated."

"Then please leave."

The security guards were very tough.

Jiang Xu looked calm: "I'm here for something."

The security guard sneered, "What can you do? Do you want to see the principal? Go away, or I'll take action!"

The girl whispered, "So she's an old woman who has already graduated."

"Ginger."

At this time, Professor Wu came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xu raised his arm and said lightly, "There was a little friction."

As soon as the security guard saw Professor Wu, his face changed immediately. Professor Wu is a famous biology expert in our country. She was elected as an academician last year. In terms of status, she is higher than the principal.

More importantly, this professor is notoriously protective of his own children.

Could this girl be her former student?

Professor Wu saw the wound on Jiang Xu's arm and his face darkened. "Who did this?"

Jiang Xu looked at the girl who took action.

Professor Wu asked seriously, "Which department and class are you from? What's your name?"

The girl was trembling with fear, "Professor Wu, I didn't mean it."

Professor Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "If you didn't mean it, then apologize!"

The girl bit her lip and apologized to Jiang Xu, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Xu's expression was very indifferent: "I don't accept your apology."

After that, he said to Professor Wu: "Teacher, let's go in."

After they left, the security guard breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Professor Wu didn't make a fuss about it, so he left secretly feeling relieved.

"How abominable, Ruo Ruo, who is that woman? She's so high and mighty."

The girl who was asked to apologize said angrily.

Jiang Xueluo stared at Jiang Xu's figure: "She? She is the Jiang Xu I told you about."

"Ah? She is your half-sister?"

The girl curled her lips and said, "Look how noble she is. She really thinks she is the legitimate daughter of the queen. Nowadays, people don't care about such things anymore."

Another girl echoed: "That's right, the one who's not loved is the mistress. Her mother is occupying the toilet without doing anything, which makes it impossible for your aunt to marry your father. How vicious."

"Wait until our Ruoruo marries He Yanting, and see if she dares to continue to be so arrogant."

The two of them talked to each other and praised Jiang Xueruo highly.

When they arrived at the office, as soon as Professor Wu sat down, Jiang Xu bowed politely.

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

Professor Wu waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's not too late for you to stop now. Let's talk about graduate students."

Jiang Xu felt warm in his heart.

Professor Wu was as tough on the outside but soft on the inside as ever. Although he spoke harshly yesterday, he actually still cared about her.

"Um."

She sat down opposite.

After chatting for nearly two hours, Professor Wu gave Jiang Xu some advice and asked her to consider it carefully.

When her assistant came to urge her to attend the meeting, Jiang Xu stood up and bowed again: "Teacher, I won't bother you anymore. I will think about it carefully when I get back."

"Um."

Professor Wu nodded.

Jiang Xu walked to the door and Professor Wu suddenly called her.

"Jiang Xu, you are one of the smartest and most talented students I've ever taught. I once had high hopes for you. Researching is not an easy path for a girl to take. I hope you can seize this opportunity."

Facing the professor's heavy gaze, Jiang Xu nodded vigorously: "Yes, teacher, don't worry, I will never give up this time."

Jiang Xu walked on the school's boulevard, feeling a lot of emotion.

Looking at the students carrying their backpacks and walking hurriedly towards the library, her chest seemed to be filled with fighting spirit.

The Jiang Xu who was once full of pride and had great ambitions seems to be back.

And Jiang Xu, who lost herself because of the gains and losses in love, disappeared little by little.

Qin Zifei's call came very quickly.

"Have you visited the teacher?"

"Well, she's doing fine. The surgery went well and she's almost recovered."

Jiang Xu said gently.

Qin Zifei sighed and said, "Your condition seems to be different from yesterday. What magic medicine did the teacher use?"

Jiang Xu laughed: "She really gave me great encouragement."

Qin Zifei changed his tone and said, "I'm planning to go back to China soon. I have something to deal with in half a month."

Jiang Xu suddenly remembered something: "Your birthday is in two months. How about I call He Zhengyu and the others and celebrate your birthday at the welcoming party?"

"It's rare that you still remember my birthday."

Qin Zifei chuckled, "Okay, if it's not too much trouble, you can take care of it."

He did what he said. In the next few days, Jiang Xu contacted several old classmates who used to play together and made an appointment to celebrate Qin Zifei's birthday.

But there was one thing that bothered her: she didn't know what gift to give.

After work that day, she went to the mall to see if she could pick out a gift she liked.

As she walked into the men's clothing store, she began to choose carefully.

Not far away, Huo Qiyu grabbed Zhuang Ze who was about to leave and said, "Wait, does that woman look like Jiang Xu?"

Zhuang Ze stretched his neck to take a look: "What do you mean by similar? That's it!"

"Why is she in the men's clothing store?"

Huo Qiyu glanced at the sign and asked, "Isn't this the brand that Fourth Brother often wears?"

Zhuang Ze rolled his eyes, his face sneerful. "Why else could it be? Fourth brother's birthday is in a few days. Every time she rushes to give him a gift, Fourth brother won't even glance at it."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and took a picture of Jiang Xu picking things.

"What are you doing?"

Huo Qiyu was curious.

Zhuang Ze chuckled and said, "Of course I'll send it to Fourth Brother."
