"What do we do now?"
"Just let it be. Xiao En is our Xuexue’s child. He bears the Loh name and has nothing to do with that boy!"
"Not pursuing Xiao Shen’s mistake?"
"How to pursue it? Xuexue protected it to her death. Though times have changed, if the affair between that boy and Xuexue is exposed, even if it ruins his reputation and leads to his dismissal by the university, what does it ultimately achieve?
Besides, Xuexue’s reputation would be ruined along with his. Do you want that? Moreover, we have to consider Xiao En. He might laugh now, knowing nothing,
but when he grows up and learns that his parents had him due to an accident, and that we ruined his father’s future years later, are you sure he won’t feel estranged from us?"
Elder Loh and Old Lady Li analyzed the entire situation, weighed the pros and cons, and considered carrying on as usual, pretending Xiao Shen never came today. Yet neither could have anticipated that by the next day, the affair between Xiao Shen and Loh Xue had spread throughout the university, and Old Lady Li was called in for questioning by the school authorities.
"Professor Li, you are aware, right?"
Seeing Old Lady Li enter the office, the school leader opened with this remark.
"Yes."
With a slight nod, Old Lady Li was invited by the school leader to sit on the sofa.
"Teacher."
"Teacher..."
Xiao Shen was in a particularly complicated mood, knowing his mentor was protecting him, not wanting his future destroyed by this storm. Yet, the situation was at odds with what the teacher claimed. If the school indeed discovers something, there’s no assurance it wouldn’t create issues for the teacher’s work.
"If the leader has no further questions, I’ll take my leave." Rising, Old Lady Li looked at the school leader placidly.
"Professor Li may leave."
The school leader was very courteous to Old Lady Li and escorted her out of the office.
And until Old Lady Li left, she didn’t glance back at Xiao Shen even once.
