Chapter 2694: I’m Waiting for You to Hang up First

Ning Shu cleared her throat. “Ahem! I can’t. I have to take care of my mother for now. Take good care of yourself, Cheng Fei.”

Cheng Fei uttered a pitiful ‘oh’, then asked some more general questions of concern.

Afterward, though, he didn’t hang up the phone. Ning Shu could still hear his breath over the phone.

“Why aren’t you hanging up?”

“I’m waiting for you to hang up first.”

Ning Shu instantly slammed the ‘end call’ b.u.t.ton.

Beauty traps didn’t work on her!

If Cheng Fei did the things he’d done but was ugly, Ai Yun’s parents would be the ones begging her to get a divorce.

A good-looking person’s abnormal behavior wasn’t as such. Instead, they invited sympathy and understanding from other people.

Only ugly weirdos would be insulted as such.

People were more tolerant of good-looking people.

That was the beauty privilege.

Alas, beauty was by nature deceitful.

Ning Shu went out of the bedroom to cook. Recently, she had been cooking all of her family’s meals.

The kidnapping incident had badly frightened Mother Ai and made her feel somewhat weak nowadays.

Professor Ai didn’t want Mother Ai to work too hard, so Ning Shu now took care of the laundry and the cooking.

Even if the taste of Ning Shu’s cooking wasn’t very good, what had happened recently had made them lose their appet.i.te. Even if what she cooked was delicious, Ai Yun’s parents wouldn’t be able to taste it.

Professor Ai came back home with a pale face and an ugly expression on his face.

Ning Shu quickly poured him a gla.s.s of water and asked, “What happened, Dad?”

Professor Ai took a sip of the water, then sighed and said, “They’ve found the person who instigated Li Qiang to kidnap your mother.”

“So quickly? Who is it?”

Judging from Professor Ai’s expression, the person didn’t seem to be Cheng Fei.

“Another student in my cla.s.s. His name is Li Chen. He has admitted to stealing Tian Hai’s account.”

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu’s face betrayed her confusion. “Are you sure?”

Professor Ai nodded. “The police said that Li Chen buckled under the pressure from the school and the police, so he went to the police station and surrendered himself.”

“What about the IP address of the coffee shop?” Ning Shu really couldn’t figure it out.

“Li Chen admitted to going to that coffee shop. They also checked the CCTVs; he had indeed been there.”

Ning Shu: Excuse me!?

So Cheng Fei really had nothing to do with this?

“Ai Yun, do you think I am a failure? Two students loathed me enough to do this. I feel very tired. I want to resign.”

Ning Shu immediately rea.s.sured him. “We haven’t seen the end of this yet, Dad. Besides, you’re going to retire soon anyway. If you resign now, you won’t even get your pension. Dad, you need to persevere.

“It’s fine as long as we have a clear conscience.” Ning Shu patted Professor Ai’s shoulder.

“This is a stain on my life. Li Chen and Li Qiang’s futures are also ruined.” Professor Ai was still dedicated as their teacher; he still felt responsible for his students.

However, the recent events had also left a bad taste in Professor Ai’s mouth.

These two couldn’t even recognize the good he’d done for them, so why must he feel responsible for them? Instead of grat.i.tude, what he received in return for his dedication was complaints and a kidnapping.

He also didn’t know how the university would be punishing him.

Ning Shu looked at the downtrodden Professor Ai and comforted him. “Dad, everything will be fine.”

Professor Ai sighed. Ning Shu couldn’t do anything, though. She couldn’t help Professor Ai with this kind of thing.

Ning Shu took her bag and prepared to go out.

“Where are you going? Are you going to see Cheng Fei?” Professor Ai asked.

“I have something I need to do. Food is in the pot.”
