The student's shout drew everyone's attention to the classroom door.
An elderly man with gray hair, a kind face, and an air of refinement stood at the door, smiling at the students.
"Professor Xu, it really is Professor Xu!"
"Professor Xu is back!"
The classroom erupted in cheers and applause.

Jiang Shu's voice was drowned out. He was so angry that his face turned ashen, but he couldn't lash out in front of Old Man Xu.
In terms of seniority, achievements, fame, and domestic and international standing, Old Xu is far superior to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu quickly put on a smiling face and welcomed Old Man Xu in.
When the students saw that Old Man Xu was in good spirits and his eyes were still bright, they were so excited that they clapped enthusiastically.
"Professor Xu, are you back to continue teaching us?"
"Please come back soon, your classmates miss you so much!"
Seeing that Old Xu had such a high reputation among the students, while he himself had never been so beloved by them, Jiang Shu's expression darkened even further.
He forced a smile and said, "Professor Xu, what brings you to the school today?"
Professor Xu glanced at Gu Zhiyun, his eyes filled with heartache.
He quickly composed himself and cheerfully said to Jiang Shu:

"I finally remembered how to get to school, so I thought I'd come out for a stroll whenever I had free time to check on the students' studies. But I've come at a bad time; how did I end up at a criticism meeting?"
Jiang Shu could no longer even manage a smile.
Old Xu's words sounded mild and harmless, but they were actually a sarcastic remark about him using class time to criticize students and vent his personal anger because of his emotions.
“Professor Xu, Gu Zhiyun has made a grave mistake and set a bad example for the students. As the acting dean, I have a responsibility to correct his erroneous thinking…”
Old Xu continued to smile gently, showing no sign of opposing Jiang Shu.
"Professor Jiang, you're right. If you're wrong, you should be criticized."
With the help of several students, he found a seat and sat down. "Since I'm already here, I'll just listen to how you criticize me!"
Jiang Shu: "..."
Old Xu waved his hand and said, "Professor Jiang, just say what you need to say. Don't worry about my status. As Gu Zhiyun's professor and elder, I also think that young people need more criticism to improve. To be honest, I've been teaching Gu for several years, but my eyesight isn't very good, and I really haven't noticed as many problems as you mentioned. You have a sharper eye than me and can spot his shortcomings. I need to learn more from your experience so that I can criticize him more in the future and prevent him from becoming too arrogant and complacent."
Old Xu's words were a slap in the face to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu gave a few dry laughs.
"Professor Xu, I've said everything I needed to say. Just like you said, it's all for the students' progress..."
Under Old Xu's shrewd scrutiny, Jiang Shu nervously wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Ahem, students, let's continue the lesson."
Old Xu stood up and said, "Now that the criticism meeting is over, I won't disturb Professor Jiang's class any longer."
He then turned to Gu Zhiyun and said, "Little Gu, come out with me for a moment."
Gu Zhiyun followed Old Man Xu out of the classroom.
Old Xu led him to the back hill of the campus and found a quiet corner.
Gu Zhiyun remained completely silent throughout the journey.
Old Xu understood Gu Zhiyun's temperament; he never liked to defend himself, and he disliked arguing with people who distorted the truth.

"Grandpa, thank you for getting me out of that situation just now."
Gu Zhiyun only spoke slowly after Old Man Xu found a smooth stone to sit on.
His tone was calm and gentle, not at all like someone who had been criticized for more than half an hour.
"Little Gu, you are a gentleman who remains untainted by the mud, but you can't stand it when someone throws mud at you!"
Old Xu shook his head repeatedly and said, "If I hadn't gone into the classroom, judging from Jiang Shu's attitude, he could have criticized you for another two hours! And you didn't say a word in your defense?"
Gu Zhiyun was silent for a while, then said, "Grandpa, I was also wrong in this matter, and I should reflect on it."
"What's the deal with your child, Qingqing? Did you and Jingya have a fight because of her?"
Old Xu asked, somewhat angrily.
"As soon as the midterm exam results came out, Jingya and I tried to find a way to send her back to her hometown."
"Ugh, really, a child made a mistake, and now you're the one who has to take the blame!"

Gu Zhiyun was also angry, but more than that, he felt helpless.
Gu Qing has made such a huge mess that his young wife now has to run around and resolve it at the school.
He had initially hesitated about sending Gu Qing back to her hometown, feeling a little guilty towards his cousin. But after this incident, he couldn't wait to send Gu Qing back to her hometown.
The facts are clear: what his wife said back then was absolutely right. As long as Gu Qing stays, the trouble will only increase day by day.
Meanwhile, Shen Jingyan took advantage of the free time during the morning to go to Sanfang Middle School.
She found the office of the ninth-grade homeroom teacher.
"Is the homeroom teacher of Class 9, Grade 9 here?"
A middle-aged female teacher sitting near the door looked up at Shen Jingyan with amazement in her eyes.
"Oh my, you must be Teacher He's boyfriend? Come in, come in and let's talk!"
Shen Jingyan hurriedly shook her head with a smile: "Teacher, you've got it wrong. I need to talk to Teacher He."

Hearing the voice, Teacher He looked up from beside the photocopier: "Excuse me, sir?"
Perhaps Shen Jingyan's impression of homeroom teachers was too stereotypical—either middle-aged, serious-faced female teachers or middle-aged, balding male teachers wearing striped t-shirts—so she was taken aback when she saw Gu Qing's homeroom teacher, He Haowen.
This is a young male teacher wearing a white shirt, no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He has a square face, a straight nose, piercing eyes, and a slender figure. He is quite dignified when he is not smiling, but his smile makes people feel very friendly.
In the past, most of the people who came to He Haowen were students' parents. He suddenly looked up and saw a pair of clear and bright eyes, and his heart involuntarily quickened its pace.
When Shen Jingyan smiled at him, he secretly blushed.
He rushed forward, his hands and feet a little flustered, and he accidentally knocked over a stack of homework books.
The middle-aged female teacher sitting at the doorway glanced back and forth between the two men with a gossipy look in her eyes.
"Teacher He, may I speak to you in private?"
Shen Jingyan didn't want to become the subject of office gossip.
He Haowen nodded hurriedly, and the two of them arrived one after the other under a large banyan tree on campus.

"May I ask who you are?"
“I am Gu Qing’s aunt. Her parents are not around, so I am her guardian.”
He Hao laughed and said, "What a young auntie! I really didn't guess you were a student's parent if you hadn't told me!"
