2221 He’s Standing Up for You and Has Settled the Matter
The next day, six in the evening.
She propped her forehead on her hand before getting out of bed to take a sip of water. She lowered her eyes and saw the phone screen on the table flashing.
Qiao Nian took the water cup in one hand, picked up her cell phone with the other, and walked to the sofa.
Ye Wangchuan had placed a small single sofa in her bedroom. Qiao Nian liked to nestle on the sofa and relax when she had nothing to do.
She had just woken up, and there was still a hint of morning anger in the girl’s eyes. She looked quite dejected as she sat on the sofa.
She had stayed up for almost 36 hours the day before yesterday. When she went to sleep last night, she simply turned her cell phone to silent mode to avoid being woken up.
Almost a day had passed. Qiao Nian’s cell phone was chock full of various messages and calls.
The moment she opened it, she saw seven or eight missed calls.
Even Xu Yi, Lu Zhi, Feng Yu, and the few people in the laboratory had called her.
Qiao Nian did not return their calls for now. She opened her WeChat and email.
These two were also filled with all kinds of news.
On both platforms, people were questioning her about Ji Ziyin.
[Old Madam Shen: Miss Qiao, I heard about Ji Ziyin. If you need help, remember to tell me.]
[Xue Zhu: Xie Xinyao and Ji Ziyin didn’t come to the research institute today. Are you alright?]
[Jian Jin: Qiao, I heard that you crippled Ji Ziyin. What’s going on?]
…
Qiao Nian looked at the time she received the messages. They were sent in the morning.
She was about to get up to get more water when Shi Fu suddenly called. Qiao Nian picked it up. “Hello.”
“What’s your relationship with Xiao Ye?” Shi Fu was not a gossipy person. At the mention of the private matters of his students, his tone was a little uncomfortable. He paused and silently added, “I heard from the dean that you’re dating him?”
Qiao Nian had already stood up and put her cell phone on speaker. Hearing this, her half-closed eyes fully opened. She rubbed her forehead and exclaimed in confusion, “Huh?”
Qiao Nian was silent for a moment. She supported her head with her hand and felt a headache, but she readily admitted her relationship with Ye Wangchuan. “We’re dating.”
There was so much he wanted to say, but he changed his mind as if he had accepted his fate. “Forget it. This is fate, I guess.
“I might have owed him in my previous life. The good seedling I finally met in this life is related to him again… An ill-fated relationship…”
After more than a month of interaction, Shi Fu acknowledged Qiao Nian’s talent in experiments.
He wanted to nurture her.
But from the looks of it, his efforts were going to be wasted again!
Qiao Nian paused, still not understanding what he was saying.
Fortunately, Shi Fu quickly composed himself. “Everyone in the research institute knows about the video and email. When are you coming over?”
“What video?” Qiao Nian was completely awake now. She poured herself a glass of water and leaned against the table.
Shi Fu was a little surprised. “You don’t know?”
The cup was filled with water. Qiao Nian picked it up and replied casually, “I don’t know. I was charging my cell phone last night and didn’t see any messages.”
Shi Fu understood what was going on. He said concisely, “Ye Wangchuan has already blown up Ji Ziyin’s matter by standing up for you. The Ji family wants to step forward and protect her now. The research institute wants to expel her.”
