"Even if you don't want to raise a child, you should consider your husband, right? If you can't have one yourself, you can't let Mr. Jin lose his father's rights, right?"
The words were getting increasingly harsh, but Xu Manman noticed something: most of the people who spoke up were women. Were they outraged because they sympathized with this family? Or did they have other motives?
Jin Zichu took two steps forward, blocking his wife behind him, and looked around, noting down what everyone was saying. "Thank you all for your concern for our family, and I want to formally say this: I don't want a child, not from anyone else.
Our family is well-off, but that's not a reason for us to raise someone else's child. Besides, everyone here is also well-off. If you are really so compassionate, just take the child home yourself.
In addition, the law stipulates that people are adults after the age of 18 and are responsible for their own actions. It is not our fault that your family can't survive. Since you can't survive, why did you give birth to the child in the first place?
Abandoning a child and refusing to raise them both constitute the crime of abandonment. If you continue to make trouble like this, I don't mind calling the police for you."
After Jin Zichu said this, no one spoke for a while. Wang Meihua didn't know whether she was shocked by Jin Zichu's beauty or frightened by his words. She was stunned and didn't say anything.
Only after Jin Zichu took Xu Manman away did bursts of heavy breathing sounds come from the room.
Knowing that his wife was in a bad mood, Jin Zichu held Xu Manman's fingers together and coaxed her in a low voice, "It was Xiaojin's mistake. I should have solved it earlier."
Xu Manman pinched its slender fingers. "Why should I blame you? I made all the decisions, but this time it's really terrible. I left it alone, and it actually found its way to the school. Will I have to go to my parents next? Xiaojin, you go and do it."
She had just noticed the look in the eyes of the woman kneeling on the ground staring at Jin Zichu, which was really disgusting.
Jin Zichu received the task and nodded in agreement.
Whether it was someone from the Wang family, the person who criticized Xu Manman today, or the person who gave Wang Meihua advice at the door, it remembered them all.
After handing the matter over to Xiao Jin, Xu Manman no longer worried about it, as she still had to go to class later.
However, Xu Manman still underestimated the impact of this incident. As soon as the afternoon class was over, she was planning to go out for dinner with Jin Zichu to change her mood, but she was called to the dean and taken to the principal's office.
To be honest, after working for so many years, Xu Manman rarely sees the principal in private except during meetings.
She was not a newbie in society, and thinking about what happened during the day, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, when he saw the principal, he immediately said, "The school office received a lot of complaints from students and teachers today."
When the hammer fell, Xu Manman remained calm.
During all these years at Peking University and Tsinghua University, in addition to teaching and guiding students, she also donated two teaching buildings. The three big words "Zichu Building" are still hanging on the building. For such a person, even the principal would not be able to deal with her directly because of a small complaint.
The name Professor Xu has become a hallmark of the school over the years, and he is well-known not only in the School of Economics but also in the entire school.
And from the perspective of laws and rules, she did not make any mistakes, it's just that people don't agree with it logically.
However, for people who have always been high and mighty, even the slightest flaw will be magnified infinitely, so the impact of this incident is much greater than expected.
The principal was quite gentle with Xu Manman. "The school suggests that Professor Xu avoid the forefront of this storm and put his work aside for now. Once the school office has thoroughly investigated, they will issue a public announcement explaining the facts and the situation. Once the situation has calmed down, Professor Xu can return to work. How do you think?"
It is called a suggestion, but in fact it is no different from a notification.
From the school's perspective, this was a result that was taken into consideration for her. However, Xu Manman did not think so. It was like a black pot falling from the sky, making her covered in dirt that could not be washed off. The person who threw the pot kept standing in front of her to disgust her, and the people around her kept saying that it was a good thing to throw it.
Xu Manman asked the principal, "What if you don't accept this proposal?"
The principal was stunned for a moment, but he was not completely unpredictable about this result. After all, the news that Xu Manman had resigned from Hong Kong City due to a disagreement had spread throughout the Beijing circle. Although he had never had direct contact with him, the principal still had some understanding of Professor Xu's way of doing things.
