Since Zhao Jiajia is not from this city, her parents were only contacted briefly over the phone before she was released.
Ni Sitian was different; she hit someone, and Director Sun insisted that she call her parents.
After a moment of hesitation, she had no choice but to call Xu Tingchuan.
The phone was answered after ringing twice, and Xu Tingchuan's clear, magnetic voice came from the other end.
“It’s me,” Ni Sitian said softly.
"Hmm." Xu Tingchuan gestured for everyone in the meeting to be quiet, and asked her calmly, "Is there something you need?"
"Um, are you busy?" Ni Sitian didn't know how to start the conversation.
"I'm not busy." Xu Tingchuan noticed something was off about her voice and asked again, "Is something wrong?"
Ni Sitian glanced at the teacher, paused for a while, and pursed her lips: "Can you come to the school's political education office now?"
Xu Tingchuan didn't ask any further questions, simply replied "okay," and hung up the phone.
As he stood up to leave, Secretary Xue quickly followed: "Mr. Xu, the meeting isn't over yet..."
"This is the end." Xu Tingchuan strode towards the elevator and pressed the button to go down.
"General Manager Fan from Nalixin has scheduled a meeting for 2 PM. Should we move it earlier?" Secretary Xue reported the work schedule to Xu Tingchuan.
"Cancel." Xu Tingchuan stepped into the elevator and said to Secretary Xue, who was standing outside in a daze, "Cancel all work schedules this afternoon."
Before Secretary Xue could say anything more, the elevator doors closed.
She was taken aback. This was the first time she had seen Xu Tingchuan leave his work behind like this since she started working with him. She wondered what had made him so nervous. Could it be related to that young mistress?
At this moment, Ni Sitian stood with her head down, waiting anxiously.
She didn't regret hitting Zhao Jiajia, but she was worried about what Xu Tingchuan would think when he came over. Would he think she was too barbaric and impulsive?
Just as she was getting worried, a clear and familiar voice came from behind her: "Director Sun, what are you busy with?"
Ni Sitian's entire back stiffened. She wondered if she had misheard, but she didn't dare turn around to confirm.
"Oh, it's Mu Bei." Director Sun stood up, walked past Ni Sitian, and went over to him warmly.
Ni Sitian's last hope was completely shattered; it turned out that the voice really was Qin Mubei.
Her face paled slightly. When she learned from Xiang Zhilan that he had returned to China, she knew that they would meet again sooner or later.
But I never expected to meet her when she was in such a sorry state.
Ni Sitian remained stiff and motionless, her back to them, listening to their pleasantries.
It turns out that after Qin Mubei returned to China, he was hired by the school as a temporary guest lecturer, and today is his first day teaching.
She sneered inwardly, thinking that this truly lived up to the term "refined scoundrel."
"Sisi?"
After chatting with Director Sun for a while, Qin Mubei noticed a familiar figure in the office and blurted out a different name.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Ni Sitian took a deep breath, turned around, and looked up at Qin Mubei.
Qin Mubei seemed very happy to see her, and walked up to her in a few steps: "Sisi, it's been a long time."
“I don’t think we’re close enough to use nicknames,” Ni Sitian scoffed.
She was somewhat impressed by Qin Mubei's thick skin; after such an embarrassing breakup, he could still act so nonchalant when he saw her.
"Why do you have to do this?" Qin Mubei raised his hand to stroke her head.
Ni Sitian frowned and dodged away.
Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, Director Sun gave Qin Mubei face and let her go.
Ni Sitian's face darkened, and she grabbed her bag and walked past Qin Mubei.
"Sisi." Qin Mubei followed her to the tree-lined path and grabbed her wrist.
"Let go!" Ni Sitian twisted her wrist, but couldn't break free, so she hit Qin Mubei with her bag.
But Qin Mubei went berserk and pulled her into his arms tightly!
Not far away, Xu Tingchuan stopped and looked at the couple embracing under the falling petals on the tree-lined path, his eyes narrowing slightly.
