How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 213 - 215: Smear_1

The four of them had been strolling around campus for half a day and still hadn’t seen it all.

Jin Daxue wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose, "This school is even bigger than our village."

Li Qiao smiled with her eyes curved, "Tired, aren’t you? Let’s eat first." She led the group to the nearest dining hall and took out meal and food tickets to get food.

Braised pork, braised carp, roasted duck—two servings of each.

Jin Daxue praised how delicious it was as she wolfed down three bowls of white rice in one breath, making Feng Kui feel embarrassed.

Li Qiao, "Seeing how much you’re enjoying your food makes me want another bowl. Do you want more? I’ll get it for you."

"I’ll do it myself." Jin Daxue said, "The food here tastes really good, even better than the braised dishes from last night."

Li Qiao, "The chefs here were hired from big restaurants. Of course, the market’s braised food can’t compare. If you think it’s good, you can also come here for dinner. I have a lot of meal tickets." Sir Xue often came by to visit and always slipped her meal tickets from the school. He’d say that Professor Xue couldn’t use them all and would throw them away, so he picked them up. If she didn’t want them, he’d use them to light his pipe tobacco.

But she herself would go home for meals morning and evening, and thus, her storage locker was hiding a thick stack of meal and food tickets.

If only the dining hall didn’t have a rule against taking food out.

Her family could save quite a bit of their food supply and meat tickets.

Jin Daxue was filled with envy, others had so much good food they couldn’t even finish it, while she had to ponder whether her family’s conditions would even allow her to eat a meat meal. Why was there such a big difference between people? "Focus on your studies, don’t worry about us." If entertaining them ended up delaying her education,

Jin wouldn’t get angry, but Old Mrs. Qin would definitely lose her temper.

"There’s still time to eat." Li Qiao handed the meal tickets to Qin Jin. "You can take them here to eat. It’s not only generous but also tastes good. And it saves money."

Qin Jin accepted, "Alright."

....

After the meal, Qin Jin led the couple away.

Li Qiao went back to her dorm to get her books and headed to the library. The first floor was full, so she went to the second where she found a half-free seat. There she saw Old Mrs. Qin sitting at the far end of the hall, with another person across from her.

It was Xue Lingqing.

Li Qiao approached Xue Lingqing, greeting him first, then whispered to Old Mrs. Qin, "Grandma, what brought you here today? And you’re with Professor Xue too."

"I came first and after sitting for a little while I saw Lingqing, so I waved him over," Old Mrs. Qin said. She had already made arrangements with Lingqing to save seats for him in the future,

so the granddaughter-in-law could directly ask him for help with any issues.

Li Qiao leaned close to Old Mrs. Qin’s ear, "If classmates see this, who knows, they might think Professor Xue is giving me private help."

Old Mrs. Qin, "I want Lingqing to give you private tutoring."

Li Qiao chuckled, that works.

Xue Lingqing had class in the afternoon, so he left when it was time.

Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin stayed until nine in the evening before going home. Not long after leaving the library, Li Qiao saw Lu Kai again. A thought crossed her mind, "Grandma, can you make it home by yourself? I just remembered I have something to take care of."

Old Mrs. Qin, "What could you have to do so late? Can’t it wait until tomorrow?"

"Today’s business should be done today."

Old Mrs. Qin, "Then you go ahead and take care of your business, I’ll have Jin come to pick you up after I get home."

"No need." Li Qiao hurried off and silently followed Lu Kai to a secluded grove on campus.

Cheng Shuqin was waiting there and complained, "Why are you so late?"

Li Qiao hid on one side.

"Just got off work." Lu Kai said, "Why couldn’t you just mention the specifics in the letter?" If they were reported for meeting up at night, they would both suffer the consequences.

Cheng Shuqin, "It’s not clear in the letter. That Li Qiao from our class, the one you met last time, she copied my thesis and submitted it for publication. Do you know someone in the delivery room? If they receive a parcel from a journal with her name on it, intercept it for me."

"Didn’t you copy hers last time? Now that she’s copied yours, it’s like settling the score," Lu Kai argued.

"The paper was originally my concept, so it’s actually my thesis. I was just taking back what’s mine. But this time she went too far, copying everything from start to finish and then submitting it. Help me intercept it, and I will take the evidence and report her to the teacher," Cheng Shuqin said, clenching her fists in righteous indignation.

Lu Kai, "Can’t you just tell the teacher directly? Why bother making a fuss?"

Cheng Shuqin, "Our class’s math professor is having an affair with her, and without solid evidence, we simply can’t bring her down."

Li Qiao, "..."

What?

When did she copy the paper Cheng Shuqin had conceived? And she copied it over and over again

And got involved with Professor Xue as well.

It’s one thing to smear me, but how could you smear the teacher?

She immediately burst out angrily, "You’ve got some nerve, Cheng Shuqin, turning black into white with such skill. When have you ever written a paper? I spent over a month on my paper, consulted countless materials, filled two big notebooks with drafts, and revised it twice before it was finished. You copied the draft that was clearly the one I lent to Xue Sufen to read. You didn’t expand the argument because of Professor Xue’s suggestions, so it got rejected. You also didn’t get the name wrong. Indeed, Xue Sufen received the paper, but she didn’t write it. She thought it was mine and just gave it to me."

Looking at Xue Sufen, she seemed to be an upright person, at least not prone to committing principled errors, and was also tight-lipped.

In contrast, Cheng Shuqin was downright nasty.

Cheng Shuqin and Lu Kai were stunned.

Why was Li Qiao here?

Cheng Shuqin was the first to regain her composure and immediately tried to absolve herself, "Lu Kai, you mustn’t listen to her nonsense. She’s always had it out for me. You can’t believe her words. But if she lets out that the two of us met, that would be terrible."

Lu Kai snapped to and went to grab her.

Li Qiao grabbed a path and ran without hesitation.

Lu Kai was from the campus security office, and it was said that one of the requirements for joining the security office was to have some fighting skills.

She was only half-baked in that department; what if she was at a disadvantage?

Lu Kai chased after her.

Li Qiao never felt the campus paths were so long; after running a hundred meters and just as she was about to be caught, she heard a howl.

When she looked back,

Lu Kai had already fallen, and Qin Jin was holding him down with a knee on his neck.

"I... I can hardly breathe," Lu Kai said with difficulty.

"Then don’t breathe," Qin Jin replied coldly. His grandma had told him when she got home that Qiaoqiao suddenly said she had something to do and asked her to go ahead.

The same thing happened last night.

He found it strange.

Given her disposition, she would finish a task at once; how could it be possible for her to remember unexpectedly once or twice?

After entering the school, he had looked around for a long time. As he passed by this area and saw Cheng Shuqin, who was staring in the direction of a side path, he felt that Qiaoqiao was in the direction Cheng Shuqin was staring at. He ran all the way here to find Qiaoqiao being chased by a man, and in anger, leapt up and delivered a kick from behind to the man.

"Jin," Li Qiao was very surprised, "how did you get here?"

The significant other assigned by the heavens was different, always rescuing her at crucial moments.

She looked at him with starry eyes.

Qin Jin had a look of silent reproach. If he hadn’t come, how dangerous would it have been for her?

"And there’s Cheng Shuqin. I’ll go find her." Li Qiao went back, but there was no sign of Cheng Shuqin.

She belatedly realized that Cheng Shuqin had run away.

And Lu Kai was left holding the bag.

Li Qiao returned to Qin Jin’s side and said to Lu Kai, "Cheng Shuqin ran away, but do you still have the draft of the paper you copied? Give me the draft, and I’ll ask my significant other to punch you a couple of times less."

Lu Kai clenched his teeth, "I don’t know about any drafts."

Qin Jin delivered a punch to the man’s stomach, "You don’t know, huh? I’ll beat you until you do!"
