The news was explosive for the just-awakened Yu Ting. She had been waiting for Lu Nanchen to take the initiative, but unexpectedly, she was hit with rumors about him instead?
Yu Ting ruffled her hair, forcing herself to wake up a bit more.
"Where did you hear about this?" Yu Ting narrowed her eyes and asked.
Shen Ruchu and Lu Nanchen?
How could those two possibly be linked in any way?
"It was mentioned in our group chat," Ning Xuan said, waving her lit-up phone screen at Yu Ting, a group chat window hanging on it.
The group was still having a heated discussion about the topic, messages rapidly coming in.
Yu Ting’s eyes narrowed even further, trying to read the messages clearly, feeling a bit annoyed.
"Yu Ting."
A voice sounded at the door, making Yu Ting look towards the source of the sound. A strange male classmate was standing there, "Someone outside is looking for you."
Yu Ting: ?
Yu Ting hesitated for a moment inside, fixing her hair as she went out.
Outside the classroom, in the direction indicated by the boy who had relayed the message, she saw a man looking like a bodyguard in a black suit. He was tall and sturdy, his bulging muscles uncontainable by his clothing, his face square and handsome.
?
"Who are you?" Yu Ting, groggy from just waking up, asked with a rather piercing gaze.
"Our boss wants to talk to you." The bodyguard answered with an air that brooked no refusal.
...
What an imposing entrance.
Yu Ting’s brows arched even further, her lips pursed into a line, remaining silent.
The two stood in a standoff for three minutes. Seeing that Yu Ting wasn’t budging, the bodyguard didn’t move either, standing patiently on the spot. It was clear that unless Yu Ting left, he was not about to give up–he might even resort to force.
Interesting, very interesting.
Yu Ting smirked mockingly, all the irritability of the past few days piling on.
"Come on, lead the way."
Catch the bandit before his boss. She was curious about who this so-called boss was.
"Yes, Miss Yu, please this way."
...
The two departed under the watchful eyes of everyone, exited the school, and soon entered a nearby coffee shop.
It was still morning, and there were hardly any people in the shop. The moment Yu Ting followed the bodyguard in, she saw a woman sitting in the spacious area.
As she got closer, Yu Ting could clearly see the woman’s appearance.
She was slightly above average in looks, not pretty to the eye, but not offensive either.
A completely unfamiliar woman.
"Ms. Yu, please have a seat."
After taking a sip, Shen Ruchu put down her coffee, extending her finger to the seat across from her, gesturing to Yu Ting.
Yu Ting raised an eyebrow, sat down, and bluntly asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Shen Ruchu provided her familiar, polite smile, "Nice to meet you, Miss Yu, I am Shen Ruchu. Lu Nanchen’s high school classmate, and the current president of Southwest Entertainment."
With that, she pushed a business card on the table towards Yu Ting, "Here’s my card."
Yu Ting glanced at it, without making a move. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"I know your marriage to him was arranged by your families. Elderly people tend to not consider the feelings of you two when making their arrangements."
"But the arrangements made by both your families are really a bit improper."
Shen Ruchu paused and continued speaking.
"The idea of a teacher marrying a student... It’s absurd, isn’t it?"
She then slid out a check from under a nearby leather wallet, pressing it onto the table and pushing it towards Yu Ting.
"Here are 20 million, divorce Lu Nanchen."
Yu Ting glanced at the check, then looked up at Shen Ruchu and laughed.
She lounged back in her chair, propping her arm up on the chairback, swinging her long, straight legs onto one another.
"Hmph."
"Absurd? The one being absurd is you, right?"
