Chapter 95: with translation of chapter title

Xie Wantang didn't understand why Professor Wu suddenly got angry.

Moreover, he was that angry.

However, it seemed he was angry at Lu Chen, which had nothing to do with her.

"Okay."

Xie Wantang agreed.

And she did as promised.

She went to find Lu Chen; Lu Chen was in the hallway, just finished a phone call, turned around and saw Xie Wantang walking toward him.

He restrained his temper, controlled his feet, waiting for Xie Wantang to walk over.

Xie Wantang reached him in a few steps; without waiting for him to speak, she relayed Professor Wu's message: "Um, Professor Lu, Professor Wu told me to tell you to go to his office; his exact words were 'Tell him to get his ass in there.'"

Lu Chen: "……"

After passing on the message verbatim, Xie Wantang also felt a bit embarrassed.

Sometimes she is quite sincere; if someone tells her something, she either refuses or, having agreed, will definitely follow through.

Since Professor Wu asked her to convey the message to Lu Chen that way,

she could only relay it as instructed.

Xie Wantang pressed her lips, nodded at Lu Chen, and prepared to leave.

She needed to go to the restroom.

However, Lu Chen stopped her: "Wait a moment, Xie Wantang, may I ask what you two were just talking about?"

Hearing his call of "Xie Wantang" left her stunned again.

He called her by full name, just like Lu Yanshen used to call her.

She gazed at him with doubt.

Lu Chen didn't know what she was thinking, but her clueless look made him curious about what his grandfather had said to her.

Could it be that it still needs to be kept secret?

If it's secret, why have him come to the office now?

"Can't you say it?" Lu Chen raised his brows slightly, tone gentle.

Xie Wantang came to her senses; she now believed Lu Chen was Lu Chen and Lu Yanshen was Lu Yanshen, two completely different people.

So she shouldn't be so sensitive.

Xie Wantang gathered her thoughts: "He just asked about my leg; I said I've been doing acupuncture lately, then he asked where I got it, I said at the Xie Clan Chinese Medicine Hall, and then he asked what my relationship is with my mother."

"Then he asked if I was a Qin Family child; I said yes, and he told me to come out and call you."

"... Okay, I understand."

Xie Wantang is really off guard with him.

"This girl, she's strangely cute."

"Go on with your work; I'll go find that old man." Lu Chen said with a smile, took two steps, thought of something, turned and called Xie Wantang again: "Xie Wantang, your older brother asked me to watch over you—don't add others on WeChat, and for any matters come to me."

"Got it." Xie Wantang obediently agreed.

"Mm, go ahead."

Lu Chen was very pleased with Xie Wantang's obedience.

He walked with a swagger.

Entering the office, Professor Wu's face was still dark, but Lu Chen was full of spring pride.

Professor Wu found it irritating, grabbed the book in front of him, and threw it straight at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught it directly.

Professor Wu was furious, thinking that brat dodged quickly.

"Don't get so angry; you'll hurt yourself." Lu Chen chuckled as he approached, placing the book neatly on his grandfather's desk.

"How could I not be angry? You brat, why didn't you just tell me back then that Xie Wantang is that Qin Family girl?" Professor Wu thought it over, still angry, and slammed his big palm on the table.

"I didn't say because I thought it wasn't necessary." Lu Chen tried to brush it off.

"Not necessary? What do you mean by not necessary—are you saying I'm old?"

"No, Grandpa, how could I dislike you for being old? You're vigorous despite your age; it's just that things here are a bit complicated, so I didn't say." Lu Chen restrained his smile, solemn and sincere as he explained to his grandfather.

Professor Wu's surging anger miraculously vanished.

Lu Chen had him under control; all it took was calling him "Grandpa."

Professor Wu sighed: "I said you were so good to that girl that night, every word and deed protecting her—turns out you were protecting your wife."

"Indeed, didn't you teach me before? In this life, if you don't marry, fine; but once married, you must protect your wife—I'm just following your words."

"Besides, your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant."

Lu Chen then dropped another bombshell.

Professor Wu was just lifting his thermos to drink tea; unprepared, he puffed and sprayed the tea from his mouth.

Fortunately, he didn't choke himself.

Moreover, Lu Chen's quick reflexes let him jump up instantly and avoid disaster.

Professor Wu put down his cup, pointed at Lu Chen's nose: "You… you you you, you damned brat, do you resent my long life and want to anger me to death?"

"No, no, no—this is a happy thing; you can't die from anger, you should hug the baby." Lu Chen grabbed a rag to clean up for his grandfather.

"But… the name on your marriage certificate is Lu Yanshen; that wife and child belong to Lu Yanshen. So you might as well divorce her in Lu Yanshen's name, then later win her back."

"Already divorced." Lu Chen said calmly.

"……"

Professor Wu, fighting the urge to faint, delivered this final slap straight to Lu Chen's forehead: "Is there anything else you haven't made clear? Now, tell me everything at once."

All the things.

Ding ding ding—

The class bell rang suddenly, Professor Wu was furious.

It's fine if people oppose him, but even this bell is opposing him.

Lu Chen urged: "Let's start class first, Professor Wu. Wait a moment, then go back; I promise I'll definitely tell you everything, without hiding anything."

Hmph…

Professor Wu walked toward the classroom with his cane.

Professor Wu's change was very obvious; Xie Wantang didn't know what Lu Chen had said to him in the office, but she could feel that Professor Wu's gaze toward her was gentle and full of care.

She sat in the first row, close by, so she felt it especially clearly.

Most importantly, each time he lectured a key point, Professor Wu's caring gaze would sweep over, asking her: "Did you understand? If not, I'll explain again."

His tone was extremely gentle.

Xie Wantang felt that on the spot, all the students were treating her like a rare pet, gathering around to stare.

With great difficulty, she made it to the end of class.

Alright, today's first day of class is over. If you have any questions you don't understand, go register with Assistant Instructor Lu. In the next class, the first twenty minutes will be for answering questions and clearing doubts.

During the first week, we basically have only theory lessons, so pre‑studying before class and reviewing after class are important; everyone must strictly follow the pre‑study‑review order when doing homework.

In the second week, depending on progress, we will conduct integrated theory and practice.

Okay, class is dismissed.

"Professor Wu, you've worked hard," the students said in unison.

Hmm.

Professor Wu buried his head in gathering the lecture notes, his gaze continually observing Xie Wantang.

Some eager students had already gone to Lu Chen with little notes full of questions; the two other female students in the class, Li Qiu Yun and Hu Mei Jia, also ran over excitedly, surrounding Lu Chen.

Xie Wantang glanced at it, then continued with her hand movements.

Lu Chen's face really appeals to girls.

Just like Lu Yanshen.
