Xia Sanghuan changed into her white coat and then threw herself into the research.
During the noon break, Professor He really went to find the principal as he had said.
The girl watched his imposing back helplessly and then continued to lower her head to write materials.
She originally thought that she just needed to act as if nothing had happened as before, and this matter would soon pass.
However, the development of this public opinion was far more difficult to handle than she had imagined.
Professor He came back empty - handed from the principal's office. When he told her about it, the girl just remembered that she had asked the principal to go find her master.
They both believed that her master was not dead. He either moved to live in another place or was in trouble.
Based on Li Ran's understanding of his friend, the second possibility was greater.
After all, he couldn't forget how his friend had praised his apprentice in the letter he mailed to him.
He wouldn't abandon his apprentice and flee far away by himself.
However, he didn't tell Xia Sanghuan about these thoughts.
Since the principal was not there, the affairs within the college were then managed by the personnel department.
"Professor, just let this matter go," the girl said to Professor He.
"Even if we try to discipline them, it won't change much, and it will just cause a lot of trouble."
Moreover, she was no longer a student now, so neither warnings nor punishments would be imposed on her.
Under her insistence, Professor He had no choice but to give up the idea of going to the personnel department.
After a day's work, she stood by the road as usual, waiting for her eldest brother to pick her up.
Since her eldest brother also had his own job, he was occasionally late, but the lateness was always controlled within five minutes.
But today's wait seemed particularly difficult.
She could feel the looks and whispers from the people coming and going at the school gate.
She turned around and scanned them, and only then did those people restrain themselves a bit.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after she got into the car.
"What's wrong, Huanhuan? You look so tired today," Fu Lingshi said with concern, glancing at her.
The girl quickly sat up straight and waved her hand at him.
"I'm fine."
But her expression didn't look like she was fine.
Fu Lingshi frowned and looked out of the car window.
The people outside couldn't see what was going on inside the car, but it didn't stop them from looking over unscrupulously.
With looks that made people feel uncomfortable.
But since his sister didn't seem to want to talk more, he had no choice but to take her home first.
While Huanhuan went to find Xia Anying, he briefly explained the situation today to his father and the others.
As soon as Fu Youqing heard this, she was not happy.
"Huanhuan is being bullied! This won't do. I'm going to her school tomorrow."
Seeing that she seemed to be about to rush to Filnos right away, Fu Moning quickly comforted her.
"You have to get Huanhuan's consent first. What if she gets angry with you because she thinks it's too embarrassing?"
Hearing this, Fu Youqing felt a bit discouraged.
"If I had known this, I should have just made Huanhuan's identity public. If people knew she was a child of our Fu family, who would dare to bully her?"
"I don't think this matter should be rushed," Fu Zeming suddenly said.
"Huanhuan is still at an age when she makes friends. If we interfere too much, it will make her lose more opportunities to interact with her peers."
He put the newspaper he had finished reading aside.
"Lingshi."
"You go and investigate."
"What about the company?"
"I'll handle the company's affairs."
After this matter was decided, everyone went back to their own rooms.
Fu Lingshi took out his phone and looked at the new text message.
"Lingshi, how is Huanhuan recently?"
It was from Leng Chuanjin.
He almost sent two or three text messages every day to inquire about Xia Sanghuan's situation.
This really troubled Fu Lingshi.
He had to tell him what Huanhuan had done every day, otherwise he would have to face his friend's continuous inquiries.
Sometimes he really couldn't imagine how Leng Chuanjin could type out these questions with a cold face.
Maybe because he hadn't replied for a long time, Leng Chuanjin called him directly.
"Sanghuan she..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Fu Lingshi.
"Can't you just ask her yourself?"
"Of course I asked. But she didn't answer the phone."
Leng Chuanjin's somewhat dejected voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fu Lingshi thought for a while.
"Then I'll ask you to do something."
"What is it?"
He thought about the scene he saw this afternoon.
"Huanhuan had some trouble today. I want you to check if there is someone in Filnos targeting her."
"Okay."
Leng Chuanjin readily agreed.
Then he hesitated for a moment.
"Can I pick her up tomorrow? I want to see her."
Fu Lingshi sighed helplessly.
"I'll ask for her opinion."
After the two finished talking, they hung up the phone.
The next day, when Fu Lingshi was sending Xia Sanghuan to school, he asked,
"Huanhuan, big brother has something to do this afternoon and can't pick you up."
"Let Chuanjin pick you up, okay?"
The girl's body visibly stiffened. He thought she would refuse, but unexpectedly she still nodded.
"Okay."
Fu Lingshi immediately felt a bit regretful, feeling that he had wronged his sister.
But the words he had said couldn't be taken back, and besides, he had already made an appointment with his friend, so he couldn't go back on his word at the last minute.
Xia Sanghuan thought about these things almost all day. She almost accidentally broke a test tube during the experiment.
She couldn't tell whether she wanted to see Leng Chuanjin or not.
The difficult day finally ended. She picked up her bag and walked out resignedly.
When she reached the school gate, she found that there were a lot of people gathered around the guard room.
She frowned and subconsciously walked outside the crowd - she didn't want that incident to happen a second time.
Just as she was about to walk out, a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Sanghuan."
Suddenly, everyone's gazes at the scene shifted from that person to her.
She turned around and looked at Leng Chuanjin.
He was standing behind the security guard, facing the monitoring computer.
It was estimated that the students had gathered here just to see him.
She endured the embarrassment and walked over.
She looked up at him.
After not seeing him for so long, he seemed to have lost a bit of weight.
"What are you doing here?"
She frowned, and her tone wasn't very good either.
But Leng Chuanjin didn't care at all.
He nodded at the security guard and said "thank you", then he pulled the girl into the car without hesitation.
Before leaving, he glared at the people who were surrounding them.
He leaned over and habitually fastened her seat - belt, then drove towards the Fu family's direction.
The familiar feeling spread in the small space, and the girl didn't know what to say for a moment.
