Chapter 62
Teacher Li took a sip of hot tea from his enamel cup and said, "I think even if Professor Zhou Su'an didn't get directly involved, his reputation is completely ruined."
"It's questionable whether I can go back to school to teach in the future!"
She suddenly lowered her voice, nudged Mu Qingxuan with her elbow mysteriously, and continued.
"But in this case, the position of vice-president next month will definitely be in Professor Zhuang Pingchun's pocket!"
The two walked towards the office on the golden sycamore leaves. Teacher Li's voice echoed in the empty corridor: "I heard that the vacant professor position will be selected from the lecturers."
"Who do you think has the best future in our department? Teacher Wang? Or..."
Teacher Li did not mention Mu Qingxuan's name, as if he believed that she, a new teacher who had just been in the job for less than a month, would not be able to be promoted to professor.
Mu Qingxuan just listened quietly, nodding politely occasionally.
When I pushed open the wooden door of the office, the smell of ink mixed with a faint scent of jasmine hit me in the face.
A familiar chuckle was heard.
"Sister, you are done with get out of class."
It’s Mu Qianqian.
She was wearing a moon-white dacron shirt, leaning against the door frame, with a fresh white magnolia pinned to her chest.
Her nails were painted bright red, and she was slowly turning the pen.
"I came here this time to apologize to you for what happened before."
She suddenly moved closer, and Mu Qingxuan could smell the faint scent of perfume on her.
"The osmanthus flowers in Beihu Park are in bloom. Let's go for a walk together? Just give me a chance to atone for my sins."
Teacher Li adjusted his glasses, looked at Mu Qianqian for a while, and said in surprise: "Are you sisters? You look quite similar."
The other teachers in the office also looked up.
A middle-aged male teacher with a big belly shook his head and said, "Teacher Li, is the prescription of your glasses not suitable? Do you need to get a new pair?"
Teacher Li was completely confused: "I just got this last week, and I can see things very clearly. What do you mean by this?"
"How is this Comrade Mu similar to our little teacher Mu? Little teacher Mu is obviously much prettier!"
The middle-aged male teacher didn't have many complicated thoughts and was generous in praising Mu Qingxuan.
He turned to look at the young male teacher next to him, pursed his lips, and asked, "Xiao Wang, do you think so too?"
Teacher Wang glanced at Mu Qingxuan's overly delicate face, and her fair face suddenly turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
He hesitated and didn't dare to speak, fearing that speaking would offend Mu Qingxuan.
But everyone in the office knew that on the first day Teacher Wang saw Mu Qingxuan, boiling water was poured on his hand, and the back of his hand was scalded and swollen before he came to his senses.
The middle-aged male teacher kept asking questions, and Teacher Wang had no choice but to nod shyly.
"I told you so!" The middle-aged male teacher clapped his hands, as if he had found a confidant, and said loudly, "Teacher Xiao Mu is like a star on a movie poster, so beautiful that it's unbelievable."
"Comrade Mu..."
The middle-aged male teacher was still not satisfied and his eyes moved around Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qianqian twice.
He clearly said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
Mu Qianqian listened to their discussions and became so angry that she could hardly maintain the smile on her face. The corners of her eyes twitched violently a few times.
Teacher Li keenly noticed that Mu Qianqian's face was not looking good, and glared at the middle-aged male teacher who spoke without restraint.
She smiled to ease the atmosphere and said, "What do you know as a grown man? Comrade Mu is also very beautiful."
"By the way, Mr. Xiao Mu, your sister is looking for you. She must have something urgent to tell you. I looked at your schedule and you don't have any classes later. Why don't you go first?"
A gleam of light flashed in Mu Qingxuan's eyes.
She has not forgotten that Mu Qianqian colluded with Gao Liyue.
Before she could even come to the door, Mu Qianqian came by herself.
Mu Qingxuan raised a sly smile, nodded, and said, "Okay. Then Qianqian, let's go."
Only after the sisters' backs completely disappeared did Teacher Li glare at the middle-aged male teacher with disappointment.
"You did it on purpose, trying to sow discord between the two sisters in front of them. If their relationship is ruined because of your words, let's see what you will do!"
The middle-aged male teacher shrugged indifferently: "You also said that I was just a few words. Since we are sisters, shouldn't we support each other and trust each other?"
"Why did you become hostile because of what I said?"
"Xiao Li, I think you are just too worried. Besides, I didn't lie. Xiao Mu is obviously much more beautiful. Comrade Mu should not try to offend her."
The middle-aged male teacher shook his head, looking like the only sober person among those drunk.
Teacher Li was so angry that he simply turned away, not bothering to say another word to this idiot.

As you step into Beihu Park, you are greeted by the sweet fragrance of flowers mixed with the unique moist scent of lake water.
The afternoon sun coated the lake with a layer of golden hue, and as the breeze blew by, the sparkling waves danced on the water like scattered stars.
Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qianqian walked side by side by the lake, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a crackling sound.
She was the first to break the silence, her eyes cold: "You said you wanted to apologize, why don't you see any sincerity at all?"
Mu Qianqian had a false smile on her face, but a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
She said coquettishly, "Sister, what are you talking about? We sisters finally got out for a walk, why don't we enjoy the scenery first?"
"I heard that you were pregnant, but unfortunately the Shi family has been busy recently, so I didn't have time to come and see you."
"I heard that pregnant women should breathe more fresh air. The scenery of Beihu Park is so beautiful. Sister, you should take a look at it more. It should be good for the baby in your belly."
Mu Qianqian stared at Mu Qingxuan's relatively flat belly, and her smooth nails dug into her palms.
As she spoke, she looked around casually, with a calculating look in her eyes.
At this moment, noisy voices and the roar of vehicles suddenly came from not far away.
Mu Qingxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of uniformed policemen and procuratorate staff busy in front of a magnificent villa. The area was surrounded by a cordon.
It turned out that not far from the park was the Zhou family’s residence.
It is just across the road from the tranquil Beihu Park.
Zhou Liyue's hair was disheveled, and she collapsed in her mother Zhou Hui's arms in despair, crying heartbreakingly: "Dad, Mom, we are innocent! Someone must have framed us!"
Her father looked ashen, his hands were handcuffed, and he walked slowly under the escort of the police. His back was full of dejection and helplessness.
The valuable furniture, calligraphy and paintings in the house were moved out one by one, and the former luxury completely disappeared at this moment.
"Isn't that Doctor Zhou? What happened?"
Mu Qianqian suddenly raised her voice, with a hint of feigned surprise in her voice.
Zhou Liyue turned her head following the sound, and when her eyes fell on Mu Qingxuan, her eyes, which were originally filled with despair, were instantly ignited by raging anger.
