At this point, Liao Nanxing didn't care about saving face anymore.
If this matter isn't handled properly today, the school will probably expel him before 10 o'clock.
"Yes, it's her." Liao Nanxing admitted directly.
Shao Jiefu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The droopy eyelids that used to droop disappeared instantly, as if they had undergone a lift.
"She... is she Xiao Yao's mysterious girlfriend on social media?"
"It's her."
Although Shao Jiefu had some doubts, he didn't delve into them.
Instead, he said bluntly, "Call your ex-wife and beg for her forgiveness; that will be more effective than having me contact Gu Yao."
Liao Nanxing's face was grim.
Not long ago, he shamelessly distanced himself from Zhou Chunhua.
If I go looking for her now, wouldn't that be contradicting myself?
"Xiao Liao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but when you were a husband, Xiao Zhou ate simple food with you without complaint and took good care of the family. It's clear that Xiao Zhou's nature and character are excellent."
Did you open your skull and get water in it while taking a shower? And you even cheated on your wife, betraying Xiao Zhou! What am I supposed to say about you?!
Liao Nanxing kept his head down.
"I... just made a mistake that most men would make. And I never intended to divorce her in the first place. It was she who found out about Su Mu's existence and started making a fuss about divorcing me."
Besides, she's a woman, and she doesn't even know how to dress herself up. All she does is eat, drink, and relieve herself. I'm too ashamed to show my face in public with her around."
"Don't you realize how terribly wrong you've made?" Shao Jiefu slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"You've already cheated on her, so where do you place her? If she really acts like nothing happened and continues to live with you, then she's the kind of woman you need to be wary of!"
Furthermore, you think she's not pretty enough and not good enough for you. Have you ever really considered that in the more than twenty years you've been married, has she ever been prettier than she is now?
A single word awakened me from my dream.
Liao Nanxing was horrified to discover that Zhou Chunhua had never been as beautiful as she is now, not even when she was so young when she first married him.
Shao Jiefu carefully trimmed the asparagus fern on the table with scissors.
"A woman is like a flower. The more carefully you take care of her, the more lively and cheerful she becomes. If you fertilize her with all your might, she can become the most beautiful flower in the world."
How can hands that are used for cooking and washing clothes be as beautiful as hands with manicured nails and hand masks? You! Shao Jiefu sighed and shook his head.
"Call her; she's the only one who can save you now."
Liao Nanxing took out his phone and dialed Zhou Chunhua's number.
After the waiting tone, Zhou Chunhua's languid voice came through.
"Chunhua, can we meet?"
"Liao Nanxing!" Zhou Chunhua sat up abruptly: "Is your whole family sick? Su Mu called me in the middle of the night, your mother went crazy sending me text messages in the middle of the night, and you came here first thing this morning!"
"Don't be angry. I want to... I want to see you, is that okay?"
"I don't have time!" Zhou Chunhua snapped. "There's nothing more to say between us!"
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Liao Nanxing plead, "Don't, don't hang up! I didn't mean to bother you, I just wanted to apologize to you in person."
"Apologize?" Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows into a V-shape.
"Yes. You've suffered so much with me all these years, but I haven't cherished you enough. I'm sorry, please forgive me?"
Zhou Chunhua pinched her thigh, and the pain made her even more awake.
It's not a dream.
What's wrong with Liao Nanxing?
While she was still wondering, she heard Liao Nanxing say anxiously, "Chunhua, please help me. Only you can help me now. Please, just this once, can you talk to Gu Yao and ask him to let me go?"
"I'll do anything you want, just please, please stop releasing those videos. If this continues, I... I really will have nothing left."
He wasn't exaggerating; he's truly on the verge of losing everything.
Zhou Chunhua looked completely bewildered.
"Liao Nanxing, are you delusional? I'm warning you, don't drag Gu Yao into everything! He's not like you; he's honest and straightforward, and he doesn't chase fame or fortune."
And you? You'll do anything for those baseless accusations! I'm warning you, don't call me again! There's nothing more to say between us! If you insist on saying anything, save it for the courtroom!
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Liao Nanxing's eyes were bloodshot, and he hung his head dejectedly.
Shao Jiefu sighed and said regretfully, "You should retire! It seems you most likely won't be able to go back to the school. I'll talk to them, and you can retire due to illness."
So, you can post a video online apologizing to Chen Xiaoyu's family, saying... say it was your personal behavior and had nothing to do with the school.
Only by extricating the school from the spotlight can I intervene and get them to process your suspension. Of course, you might also face disciplinary action from higher authorities.
Don't worry, as long as you uphold the school's reputation, the school won't abandon you. A professor is just a title; as long as it doesn't affect your pension, that's more important than anything else.
"Teacher? Why? Why me?" Liao Nanxing was still unwilling to accept it. He questioned, "I really don't think I made any big mistakes in Chen Xiaoyu's matter."
Furthermore, why Chen Xiaoyu committed suicide had little to do with me. Yet, because of those few videos, I'm being forced to take all the blame upon myself. How can I accept that?
What good is keeping my pension? All the reputation I've earned through a lifetime of hard work will end up being nothing. What was the point of all that effort?
Teacher, you don't really want to help me, do you? If it were Gu Yao instead, would you have a way to save him?
Shao Jiefu slammed his hand on the table: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? Back when we were in school, ever since Gu Yao came, you'd wanted to pass on all your knowledge to him. And every time you went out for social events, you never took us with you, you always took Gu Yao!"
I don't understand, is Gu Yao really that good? Am I really so bad that I'm ashamed to be seen? The teacher's favoritism, the teacher just doesn't know it! We all see it and remember it!
"Enough!" Shao Jiefu couldn't take it anymore.
"Liao Nanxing, take a good look at yourself! You brought all of this upon yourself! Don't you know how you are inferior to Gu Yao?
Okay, let me tell you! Your mindset, your knowledge, your understanding, and your intelligence are all far inferior to Gu Yao's! Since you've brought this up so far, I'll tell you what I didn't say before!
"I'm telling you without exaggeration, you'll never surpass Gu Yao in your entire life!" He pointed to the study door: "I have nothing more to say to you, get out!"
