He grabbed the Queen Mother by the collar: "Don't try to play the rogue trick on me. If you dare to go out and shout, I'll break your son's legs!"

His composed demeanor makes him hard to disbelieve when he threatens someone.

He looks like he could break someone's legs.

"You...you..."

"Anyway, I've already served three years in jail, so I'm not afraid to go back. You can definitely try. Also, don't think I don't hit women!"

Shen Heng's words completely terrified the Queen Mother.

"Let me go!"

The Queen Mother stared at Shen Heng's fist; if she were to take a hit, her bones would be shattered.

She didn't have time to think about why there would be such a villain in the university. She struggled free from Shen Heng's hand, pulled Wang Jialai along, and subconsciously hid outside the office.

He shouted inside, "Shu Manling, you just wait! We're going to call the police right now! I don't believe we can't take you away, you little bastard!"

She only dared to be outrageous verbally, but dared not take another step closer to the office, and left in a sorry state with the Wang family.

Ji Guizhang glanced at Shu Manling but didn't say anything to comfort her.

Instead, he focused his gaze on Shen Heng: "Who are you, and what are you doing at our school?"

"Chen Heng, Class 1, Department of Economics."

"You're a student at our school? You've been to jail, how did you pass the background check?" Ji Guizhang discovered a violation of discipline and became serious again.

"Dean Ji, no, no." Bai Jiaojiao was both amused and exasperated; Shen Heng's penchant for making things up was simply unstoppable.

Upon hearing Bai Jiaojiao speak, Ji Guizhang's tone softened considerably: "You know him?"

“He’s my boyfriend. He’s never been to jail. I just said that to scare them. He’s just a big guy, but he would never do anything illegal or disorderly.”

"Your boyfriend?" Old Master Ji stopped eating, walked around the table, looked Bai Jiaojiao up and down, then scrutinized Shen Heng, revealing an expression that Shen Heng found very offensive.

“Not my partner, he’s my husband. We’re married.” Shen Heng regretted not having his marriage certificate with him, otherwise he would have definitely taken it out to show this old man.

What's wrong? Aren't he and Bai Jiaojiao a perfect match?

My eyesight is failing.

Ji Guizhang didn't care whether she had been to jail or not, or whether she had a partner or husband.

He must have misheard. He said that during the war, his ears seemed to have some aftereffects from being hit by cannon fire.

Bai Jiaojiao stepped forward helplessly and corrected, "Yes, we have been married for two years, teacher. He has absolutely not broken the law. We came to university through the normal political approval process."

"Um."

Ji Guizhang pursed his lips into a straight line, using indifference to conceal the slight shock that had just occurred to him.

"Thank you so much for Dean's help today. Thank you for speaking up for me." Shu Manling walked up to Ji Guizhang and bowed to him.

"I'm just following the rules, and the school will protect every student."

Grandpa Ji said from the side, "Don't worry, I'll go and tell the gatekeeper not to let those two people in again. If you need to leave the school, you'd better find someone to accompany you and be vigilant. They don't have any money on them, they won't stay here for long, and they'll be fine."

Shu Manling thanked Grandpa Ji and Bai Jiaojiao again.

Bai Jiaojiao said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

“If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might have been dragged onto the train. Nobody helped me.” Shu Manling felt a wave of fear wash over her.
