After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 543 - 544 Eavesdropping

Lou Xi still hadn’t answered the phone and said to Bai Lu, "I’ll leave this to you for now. I’m going to take a call."

Bai Lu, looking at the scene, finally realized she was a bit late to catch on. Since the morning, it seemed like the school had been in a state of alert, with men in black suits occasionally seen walking around campus.

Thinking back, she now realized those men must be bodyguards arranged on campus, probably to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Not to mention the student affairs center now, where there was a bodyguard every five steps, with bulges at their waists, likely housing guns.

Looking again at Ji Mushen and Shen Youran standing in the center of the affairs center, surrounded by school leaders, their aura was truly something beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And because this visit wasn’t publicly disclosed, no reporters were following along, so up until now, there hadn’t been much of a commotion.

"Senior, hurry over there. Several students just went, and the people over there seem quite dissatisfied. The principal is going crazy!" The junior pulled Bai Lu, because Lou Xi had already gone to take the call.

Bai Lu looked at Lou Xi’s back, thinking that Ji Mushen and Shen Youran might have deliberately been dissatisfied with those students, just waiting for Lou Xi.

After all, there are several renowned universities in Nancheng, so why didn’t they go to other schools but came to Nan University where Lou Xi is?

"Alright, only we can help with this!" Bai Lu wasn’t being arrogant; she knew the game they were playing.

...

"You knew they were coming back, so why didn’t you tell me?" Lou Xi said to Qin Mobai on the other end of the phone, with a faint tone of reproach.

"Surprise."

Lou Xi recalled a few days ago when she and Qin Mobai left Qingzhu, Qin Mobai mentioned giving her a gift as a surprise. She later forgot about it, and then Qin Mobai suddenly told her, this is the surprise!

The return of Ji Mushen and Shen Youran was a surprise!

"A surprise with no joy; they brought several college students to Nan University for an academic exchange visit."

"Ms. Shen thought up such a lame excuse just to see her daughter. Kudos to her." Qin Mobai seemed quite sympathetic towards Shen Youran. "I thought the misunderstanding was almost cleared up when you were in the Seychelles."

"Accepting her requires a process!" How could you immediately start calling her ’mom’ affectionately?

"It wasn’t like that when you accepted me."

"That’s because you were too direct." Lou Xi leaned against the pillar, "The way she came back without any prior notice, it feels like I want to take the position of Miss Shen Ruozhuo of the Shen Family or something."

"You’re a young lady yourself; there’s no issue of taking anything."

Qin Mobai’s words weren’t wrong, but...

"I don’t bear any grudges against Shen Ruozhuo." She didn’t want to push things too far.

"If I told you that the photos of you and Jin Xunyang were released on Weibo by her, does that count as a grudge?" Qin Mobai paused, "Mu Jinsu is Shen Ruozhuo’s good friend, and that day when Mu Jinsu wrongly accused you of pushing her, it was also Shen Ruozhuo’s idea. Even with all the help from Mu Jinsu to Shen Ruozhuo, she didn’t show gratitude but slandered you and Jin Xunyang."

Lou Xi was stunned; those photos were released by Shen Ruozhuo? She actually did so many unforgivable things!

"Lou Xi, you’re not taking anything; you’re just reclaiming what’s yours. Your family, your identity, and your dignity."

"So am I... really to become the eldest daughter of the Shen Family?" Lou Xi asked, a bit confused.

...

Lou Xi stood by the pillar talking on the phone with Qin Mobai, never expecting someone else overheard her conversation.
