Chapter 611: A Very Terrible Person

At that moment, Nan Zhizhi’s friend smiled at him and said, “If someone makes you openly say you dislike them, they must be a very terrible person.”

Nan Zhizhi and Rong Ci had not yet gone far; Lin Wu and Ye Qiuyu naturally heard those words.

When Lin Wu politely greeted them, Nan Zhizhi ignored her with cold indifference, Ye Qiuyu’s face had already darkened; seeing Nan Zhizhi and his friend deliberately belittle Lin Wu, Ye Qiuyu grew even more furious.

He knew that Nan Zhizhi and another person he didn’t know would publicly humiliate Lin Wu—this must have been due to Rong Ci’s misleading them.

Even so, he was still furious—furious that someone like Nan Zhizhi could so easily condemn Lin Wu without fully understanding the truth.

Watching their retreating backs, Ye Qiuyu’s expression turned icy.

He wanted to see whether Nan Zhizhi would feel remorse if he learned Rong Ci’s true nature—for having believed slander and hurt a young girl.

Thinking of this, he was about to expose Rong Ci’s true character right in front of Nan Zhizhi, when Lin Wu spoke calmly: “Let’s find another place to eat.”

After speaking, she turned and walked away immediately.

Ye Qiuyu paused, then quickly caught up with Lin Wu, noticing her face looked strained; he assumed she was upset and oppressed by Nan Zhizhi’s misunderstanding, and was about to comfort her, when Lin Wu spoke again: “Senior, I know you’re trying to help me. Thank you—I understand your intentions. I’m fine.”

She forced a smile. “Didn’t you say you wanted Western food? There’s a good restaurant right next door. My treat.”

Anyone with eyes could see Lin Wu’s smile was forced; to Ye Qiuyu, she was merely pretending everything was fine so he wouldn’t worry.

Seeing this, Ye Qiuyu felt even more pity for Lin Wu—he wanted to tell her he had a way to expose Rong Ci’s true nature to Nan Zhizhi, but then he remembered this matter involved Feng Tingshen, and he hesitated, saying nothing.

When Lin Wu saw Ye Qiuyu no longer insisted on confronting Nan Zhizhi to “clear things up,” she let out a quiet breath of relief.

She knew perfectly well that Ye Qiuyu had misunderstood.

But…

Since Nan Zhizhi was Rong Ci’s teacher, he must know all the grievances between her and Rong Ci.

He knew that whenever they’d met before, he had never once mentioned anything about her and Rong Ci; though his attitude toward her had always been cold, it had never been as openly hostile as today.

His unusual behavior today was, in fact, telling her that he knew everything about her and Rong Ci’s past.

His thoughts, Nan Zhizhi had probably always understood…

…

After dinner, she rode back to Feng Family in Nan Zhizhi’s car.

On the way, she typed messages on her phone to handle work matters; when they arrived at Feng Family’s building, Rong Ci got out with her phone, said goodbye to Nan Zhizhi, and turned to leave—when Nan Zhizhi rubbed his temples, rolled down the window, and handed her the bag she’d left behind.

At that moment, the others had just returned from dinner and saw Nan Zhizhi inside the car.

But Nan Zhizhi’s car drove off quickly; they had no chance to greet him.

Everyone was stunned, staring at Rong Ci: “That—was Professor Nan? You just had dinner with Professor Nan?”

Rong Ci nodded: “Mm.”

“Holy shit!”

At that moment, Ye Qiuyu also returned and witnessed the scene.
