"We, the students in the history department, thought that the person Professor Zhou carefully selected was some top student from the medical department. Guess what happened?"

Several female classmates at the next table pricked up their ears to listen. Tang Yunling, who hadn't even eaten a bite of food, also pricked up her ears to listen.

After leaving the suspense high enough, the history student at the next table finally announced the answer.

"How else can you say he is nepotism?"

"After all this time, the student he picked is his granddaughter-in-law."

"It turns out that all the research funds went into his own pocket. With such improper conduct, who else should we investigate? This time, he has been reported to the Education Bureau!"

Tang Yunling felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard clearly what the girl at the next table said.

The whole person fell into a daze.

How is that possible?

How could it be possible that she is Professor Zhou’s granddaughter-in-law?

wrong!

Zhou Yanfeng's surname is Zhou, and Professor Zhou's surname is also Zhou.

It is said that Professor Zhou was invited by the president from Liulichang to teach at Kyoto University?

She had heard Zhou Yanfeng say more than once that his grandfather worked in Liulichang, identifying antiques.

In this way, it's right.

Someone reported her to the Education Bureau as the granddaughter-in-law of the weird old man?

She is Professor Zhou’s granddaughter-in-law, and she was the last one to know about it?

Tang Yunling's thoughts are very confused now.

But no matter how chaotic it was, there was a voice in her heart telling her to return the 500 yuan research funding as soon as possible and not let Professor Zhou, who had been so kind to her, be punished.

As for whether she is Professor Zhou’s granddaughter-in-law, she will settle the score with Zhou Yanfeng later.

"Weiwei, I don't want to eat this meal."

Tang Yunling put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I have to go to the History Department first..."

Lu Baiwei: “…”

She was also in shock.

Shocked that someone reported that her cousin Tang Yunling was Professor Zhou’s granddaughter-in-law?

The fact that her cousin was Professor Zhou's granddaughter-in-law was so secret that only a few of them knew about it.

Even Lingling herself doesn't know.

How was he reported to the Education Bureau?

Knowing her cousin's background and her close ties with the compound, Lu Baiwei didn't have to spend much effort to check it out in her mind and had a rough idea.

She glanced at Liu Cuifang who was having dinner with Yu Jing and others in the distance.

Liu Cuifang happened to be looking at Lu Baiwei secretly.

Seeing Tang Yunling leaving the cafeteria and running outside, a hint of pride welled up in her eyes, and she met Lu Baiwei's half-smile.

Liu Cuifang was so panicked that she quickly buried her head in eating.

No way?

Lu Baiwei guessed that she was the one who reported it?

What didn't she do!

She only told Yu Jing and Guan Tiantian that Tang Yunling was Professor Zhou's granddaughter-in-law. As for why Professor Zhou was investigated by the Education Bureau, she knew nothing.

That's right, she did nothing.

Why should you feel guilty?

Liu Cuifang felt that she could not give in at this moment. No matter how Lu Baiwei looked at her, she straightened her back, looked straight ahead and concentrated on eating.

The moment when Lu Baiwei and Liu Cuifang's eyes exchanged, they fell into the eyes of Song Zhou who was also eating in the cafeteria.

Although it was not convenient for her to get closer to Tang Yunling and Lu Baiwei when they were eating together, she still instinctively wanted to sit next to Lu Baiwei.

The candies and verbal encouragement Lu Baiwei gave her made her believe in her heart that Lu Baiwei was her only friend.

Although she was timid and inferior by nature and did not dare to get close to Lu Baiwei, it did not affect her desire to get closer to Lu Baiwei.

Because people tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, they yearn for sunshine and pursue beautiful things.

Instinctively, she wants to be close to people or things with positive energy.

Therefore, Song Zhou's eyes would unconsciously follow Lu Baiwei, and even when eating in the cafeteria, he wanted to be closer to Lu Baiwei.

Seeing Lu Baiwei hurriedly finishing the rice in her bowl, packing up the buns that Tang Yunling had not had time to eat and carrying them out of the cafeteria, Song Zhou stuffed half of the bun into his mouth and chased Lu Baiwei out of the school cafeteria.

"Student Lu Baiwei, wait a minute."

Carrying the buns packed in a paper bag, Lu Baiwei planned to go to the History Department.

Song Zhou caught up with her at this time.

Lu Baiwei gently explained to Song Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, I'm not going back to the dormitory now. We are going in different directions."

"I, I don't mean to go back to the dormitory with you."

Song Zhou's face turned red with anxiety. She turned her head anxiously and looked behind her to make sure that no one was following her and no other classmates were approaching.

Song Zhou boldly said, "Lu Baiwei, I have something to tell you."

"Just now, people in the cafeteria were discussing that Tang Yunling was Professor Zhou's granddaughter-in-law. I know who reported it to the Education Bureau."

"Here's what happened..."

Song Zhou stuttered as she told Lu Baiwei everything she had heard in the dormitory.

"I don't know who reported it, but it was Liu Cuifang who spread the news that your cousin Tang was Professor Zhou's granddaughter-in-law."

Song Zhou blamed himself: "I thought they wouldn't do this, they were just talking about it, but now Professor Zhou has been called in by the Education Bureau for investigation."

"Student Lu Baiwei, if I had told you the story earlier, would Professor Zhou be safe?"

"I, I don't dare to offend Liu Cuifang, Yu Jing and the others..."

Song Zhou's face turned red, and he looked remorseful.

Lu Baiwei understood Song Zhou's concerns.

She was originally the one who was excluded in the dormitory.

As a student from another place, she did not dare to approach Yu Jing, Liu Cuifang and the others. Without the obvious evidence of their report on Professor Zhou, it was understandable that she was hesitant and did not dare to tell her about the matter.

Lu Baiwei patted Song Zhou on the shoulder: "Zhou Zhou, thank you for telling me this."

"Don't be afraid, I won't betray you."

"I am not!"

Song Zhou felt extremely guilty, blaming himself for being so cowardly.

She hung her head in frustration. "Yes, I was afraid of Yu Jing and Liu Cuifang's revenge, so I didn't dare to tell you the truth. I also had a glimmer of hope in my heart that they were just talking and would not really report Professor Zhou."

“I didn’t expect they would actually do it.”

The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt: "You were so nice to me, giving me candy and encouraging me, but I didn't dare to tell you about what happened in the dormitory."

"If I had told you about this earlier, Professor Zhou wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and your cousin wouldn't have been implicated in Professor Zhou's affairs."

"I am no longer qualified to be your friend..."

Lu Baiwei knew that Song Zhou was the type of person who didn't dare to cause trouble.

She had the courage to stand in front of her and tell her what Liu Cuifang had instigated Yu Jingguan Tiantian to report in the dormitory. She had to go through a mental struggle and mustered up great courage to do so.

"Who said something would happen to Professor Zhou?"

Lu Baiwei comforted her: "Besides, my cousin will not be implicated in this matter."

Not only did Lu Baiwei not blame her, she also praised her for being brave enough to take the risk to speak out. Somehow, Song Zhou was so moved that he burst into tears.

Lu Baiwei said that Professor Zhou would not be in any danger and Tang Yunling would not be implicated. She forgot to cry for a moment and looked at Lu Baiwei in a daze.

Song Zhou looked incredulous: "Ah, Weiwei, what did you say? Professor Zhou will be fine?"

"Your cousin won't be implicated?"
