How fortunate that Ning Shu had reacted quickly at the time. Otherwise, Mother Ai mightāve really fallen off the building.
Why did Cheng Fei do that? How did he even end up falling down?
It was impossible that Cheng Fei couldnāt avoid such a pitiful shove.
Was it a trick?
Or perhaps, he was afraid that Ning Shu wouldnāt make a perfect amber stone if she fell.
Ning Shu returned home, still with no answers.
When she got back, Mother Ai immediately asked Ning Shu, āHave you gotten the divorce papers?ā
Ning Shu shook her head. āThe trial is going to start soon. Iāll apply for a divorce then.ā
As the person who Cheng Fei hurt, Ning Shu would definitely have to appear in court.
Mother Ai was really worried. āWhat if they donāt grant you the divorce?ā
āThey definitely will,ā Ning Shu said. The judge wasnāt crazy. How could the judge, knowing that Cheng Fei wanted to fossilize her, deny her request for divorce?
In the grand scheme of things, though, the divorce was rather trivial. The most important thing to deal with was, ultimately, Cheng Fei.
She couldnāt resolve this matter just by divorcing him.
Even if they got divorced, it didnāt mean that Cheng Fei would let her and her family go. Considering how he was, itād be all too easy still for him to deal with them.
Ning Shu shook her head. She couldnāt fail this task.
If she failed too many times, sheād be eliminated.
Ning Shu was really racking her brain for all it was worth.
Ning Shu went back to her room and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
She really wanted to just stab Cheng Fei to death.
However, even though Cheng Fei could commit crimes, she couldnāt. After all, what would happen to the original host if she got caught?
Goddammit! If only she could straight up beat the shit out of him!
Ning Shu sat up and slapped the bed. She refused to accept that there was no way to beat Cheng Fei!
She wouldnāt fight Cheng Fei in a roundabout way anymore; sheād face him directly, face-to-face!
Though it depended, of course, on what Cheng Fei would do when the time came.
The universityās decided punishment for Professor Ai was a paid suspension. He didnāt know how long heād be suspended for.
It was very likely that he wouldnāt be reinstated to his post and would have to retire early.
Professor Ai suddenly became very despondent after receiving his punishment. During dinner, he stopped eating after just a few bites.
Mother Ai was anxious, but she didnāt know how to comfort her husband.
Ning Shu heartily slurped her soup while Professor Ai silently stared at his daughter, who was eating very well.
Ning Shu put down her bowl and said to Professor Ai, āDonāt be too sad, Dad. Youāre practically being given a paid vacation, how wonderful is that? And youāll have enough time to write your academic publications now.
āYou used to have to spend most of your time worrying about your students, but not anymore. You can do whatever you want to do from now on.ā
Ning Shu thought it was great. Heād get to do whatever he wanted and still get a lot of money.
He wouldnāt need to worry about his students, either.
āThis incident is a stain on my life.ā Professor Ai sighed. āI donāt even want to step out of the house anymore now.ā
āThis is nothing, Dad. When your academic publication comes out, the only thing people will talk about is how youāre a qualified professor and scholar, whoās serious and dedicated to your field. Youāre just not suitable for being a teacher.ā Ning Shu spread her hands.
āIsnāt it great that youāll get to only do the aspects of the academic life that youāve always wanted to?ā
Although Professor Ai knew that what Ning Shu said was true, he still couldnāt help feeling that his reputation was damaged. He felt that his students were always talking about him behind his back at the university.
Even his colleagues were looking at him strangely.
Who asked for a student of his to do something like that?
Ning Shu felt that Professor Ai was just not used to being idle at home and so he felt restless.
He would get used to the retired life after a while.
Ning Shu returned to preparing for the trial.
On the eve of the trial, Ning Shu received her summons from the court.
