2223 You Came at the Right Time. We’re Discussing Your Matter

“Madam Xie, I apologize to you on behalf of the Ji family… I’m sorry, the juniors in the family have caused you a lot of trouble this time.” Ji Hongyuan said sincerely to Mother Xie. “We’ll bring Ji Ziyin to visit you another day to apologize again.”

“…Old Ji, you’re being too serious. It’s just children fooling around and not paying attention to their limits,” Mother Xie immediately replied, as if she wanted to turn a big matter into a small one.

Everyone present was smart.

Ji Hongyuan and Mother Xie were clearly putting on an act in front of Feng Yu. They created a big reconciliation scene to give both sides a way out.

As expected, Ji Xiao chimed in. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He said to Feng Yu, “Dean, as you can see, this is a fight between children. Our families have already reconciled in private. The research institute…”

Feng Yu raised her hand to stop him. “The research institute has its rules.”

This meant that… he insisted on his principle of expelling Ji Ziyin.

Gu Hengbo took a deep breath and stood up. “Dean, I think since we’re going to deal with it, we’ll deal with it according to the rules.

“If you insist on expelling Ji Ziyin and Xie Xinyao, what about Qiao Nian? Qiao Nian hurt her colleagues in private. How should we deal with this?”

Zhou Zhou waved her hand and snorted. “Hehe, some people are shameless for the sake of their students!”

“You!” Gu Hengbo had never been scolded by anyone before. His face was ashen as he immediately looked at Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou walked up to him and broke the harmonious atmosphere that Ji Hongyuan and Mother Xie had put on previously. “Ji Ziyin and Xie Xinyao are deliberately harming others, and Qiao Nian is just standing up for her elders… Their nature is different! Why should Team Leader Gu treat both cases equally?”

Gu Hengbo’s face turned red. “But we have to deal with her!”

Zhou Zhou was about to argue with him when there was a knock on the door.

The girl’s lazy voice came from outside.

“Can I come in?”

Zhou Zhou and Gu Hengbo stopped arguing and looked at the door at the same time.

“S…” Zhou Zhou almost blurted out her secret identity. Fortunately, she held back.

“Come in.” Feng Yu knew that Shi Fu had called and that Qiao Nian would come over, so he was not surprised to see the girl. Thus, he quickly let her in.

Xie Xinyao buried her head and did not say a word.

Seeing the girl, the fatigue and haggardness in her eyes were immediately replaced by anger. Her nails dug into her flesh.

Mother Xie, Ji Hongyuan, Ji Xiao, and the others looked unfriendly.

Qiao Nian pretended not to see them as she walked inside. “Dean, I’m here.”

“Mm.” It was not good for Feng Yu to act too familiar with her in front of so many people. He only nodded. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his tone was still much warmer. “We were discussing your matter.”

Qiao Nian glanced around the office and saw Xie Xinyao in the corner. She quickly retracted her gaze. She still exuded an uncontrollable arrogance.

Her indifferent gaze caused Ji Hongyuan and the others to grit their teeth in anger. They wished they could shatter her pride!

However, they were in Feng Yu’s office, so be it Ji Hongyuan or Mother Xie, no one dared to be too impudent.

They could only stare at the girl as if they wanted to use this method to warn her not to go overboard.

Zhou Zhou lowered her voice and said, “Why are you here?”

Qiao Nian walked to her side and raised her eyelids lazily. “I came to watch the show.”
