Chapter 2714: Have You Gotten the Divorce Papers?
How fortunate that Ning Shu had reacted quickly at the time. Otherwise, Mother Ai might’ve really fallen off the building.
Why did Cheng Fei do that? How did he even end up falling down?
It was impossible that Cheng Fei couldn’t avoid such a pitiful shove.
Was it a trick?
Or perhaps, he was afraid that Ning Shu wouldn’t make a perfect amber stone if she fell.
Ning Shu returned home, still with no answers.
When she got back, Mother Ai immediately asked Ning Shu, “Have you gotten the divorce papers?”
Ning Shu shook her head. “The trial is going to start soon. I’ll apply for a divorce then.”
As the person who Cheng Fei hurt, Ning Shu would definitely have to appear in court.
Mother Ai was really worried. “What if they don’t grant you the divorce?”
“They definitely will,” Ning Shu said. The judge wasn’t crazy. How could the judge, knowing that Cheng Fei wanted to fossilize her, deny her request for divorce?
In the grand scheme of things, though, the divorce was rather trivial. The most important thing to deal with was, ultimately, Cheng Fei.
She couldn’t resolve this matter just by divorcing him.
Even if they got divorced, it didn’t mean that Cheng Fei would let her and her family go. Considering how he was, it’d be all too easy still for him to deal with them.
Ning Shu shook her head. She couldn’t fail this task.
If she failed too many times, she’d be eliminated.
Ning Shu was really racking her brain for all it was worth.
Ning Shu went back to her room and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
She really wanted to just stab Cheng Fei to death.
However, even though Cheng Fei could commit crimes, she couldn’t. After all, what would happen to the original host if she got caught?
Goddammit! If only she could straight up beat the shit out of him!
Ning Shu sat up and slapped the bed. She refused to accept that there was no way to beat Cheng Fei!
She wouldn’t fight Cheng Fei in a roundabout way anymore; she’d face him directly, face-to-face!
Though it depended, of course, on what Cheng Fei would do when the time came.
The university’s decided punishment for Professor Ai was a paid suspension. He didn’t know how long he’d be suspended for.
It was very likely that he wouldn’t be reinstated to his post and would have to retire early.
Professor Ai suddenly became very despondent after receiving his punishment. During dinner, he stopped eating after just a few bites.
Mother Ai was anxious, but she didn’t know how to comfort her husband.
Ning Shu heartily slurped her soup while Professor Ai silently stared at his daughter, who was eating very well.
Ning Shu put down her bowl and said to Professor Ai, “Don’t be too sad, Dad. You’re practically being given a paid vacation, how wonderful is that? And you’ll have enough time to write your academic publications now.
“You used to have to spend most of your time worrying about your students, but not anymore. You can do whatever you want to do from now on.”
Ning Shu thought it was great. He’d get to do whatever he wanted and still get a lot of money.
He wouldn’t need to worry about his students, either.
“This incident is a stain on my life.” Professor Ai sighed. “I don’t even want to step out of the house anymore now.”
“This is nothing, Dad. When your academic publication comes out, the only thing people will talk about is how you’re a qualified professor and scholar, who’s serious and dedicated to your field. You’re just not suitable for being a teacher.” Ning Shu spread her hands.
“Isn’t it great that you’ll get to only do the aspects of the academic life that you’ve always wanted to?”
Although Professor Ai knew that what Ning Shu said was true, he still couldn’t help feeling that his reputation was damaged. He felt that his students were always talking about him behind his back at the university.
Even his colleagues were looking at him strangely.
Who asked for a student of his to do something like that?
Ning Shu felt that Professor Ai was just not used to being idle at home and so he felt restless.
He would get used to the retired life after a while.
Ning Shu returned to preparing for the trial.
On the eve of the trial, Ning Shu received her summons from the court.
