CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 495: LATE

A car stopped at the building opposite the university’s small community.

This is a three-story building.

It’s mainly occupied by teachers and families from the medical university.

This particular building is the high-ranking family building in the community.

It’s occupied by senior professors.

The building has six units, with only two households on each floor, and each household has three bedrooms and two halls, specifically equipped for professors of the medical university.

People coming and going notice the car downstairs.

A grand truck, with dozens of trained people jumping off, moved all the furniture inside in no time.

The household on the second floor has been bustling for quite a while.

Many people wonder which important leader has moved in, given the grandeur of the move.

The thing is, the actions were so quick that it didn’t even stir up much conversation among the people here.

The big truck left.

The entire stairway was cleaned up spotlessly, without a single flaw to pick on.

And the household opposite them on the second floor belongs to Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting, in their house here at the medical university.

The Old Mrs. Song originally found them a house here for the convenience of being close to the medical university, easy for the two kids to go to and from school.

This particular house belonged to a university professor, with the couple living here with four children.

They also had the professor’s parents here, making a total of eight people living quite crowded.

As soon as Old Mrs. Song heard her grandson’s suggestion, she was tempted long ago. If they could all live together, the kids could come home daily, providing a nurturing environment for Tang Yuan, and the old couple could see their grandson and great-grandson.

How wonderful such a thing is!

No matter where you live, you just live, so the old lady made a call.

The professor couple immediately received the allocation of another three suites of houses, new houses with better conditions than this old building, though smaller in size, each suite with two bedrooms and one hall, solving the family’s problem with the children.

Both sons are about to get married.

It’s a great deal that they couldn’t even dream of.

The couple quickly and understandingly moved their things out, acting swiftly and without causing any trouble or delay.

The old lady, on the other hand, was even more decisive and moved the family in that very day.

By the time Mrs. Wu arrived, the house was empty.

When Mrs. Wu came, it was quite a scolding.

Seeing the old couple glowing with joy living opposite with their grandson and granddaughter-in-law, able to hold Tang Yuan every day and see their grandson and granddaughter-in-law, enjoying the family happiness.

Mrs. Wu and Mr. Wu were anxious too; their recent attachment with Tang Yuan made them miss him terribly even for a day.

Truly, one day feels as if three autumns have passed.

Mr. Wu wished to take Tang Yuan back to their house, but if it weren’t for the wife saying they couldn’t burden Jiang Xiaoxiao, Mr. Wu would have exposed the truth and taken their granddaughter back, naturally bringing the little one back to their arms.

Tang Yuan, though only more than a month old, was very clever.

He knew how to squirm cutely there to win hearts, and this kid didn’t cry much, whoever held him would get a silly grin.

Especially when the old couple arrived, Fan Xiuying and Jiang Xiao also moved over.

Suddenly, Mr. and Mrs. Wu’s house became lively, with Mr. Wu able to play chess and drink with Jiang Xiao on regular days, and Mrs. Wu having Fan Xiuying to help with taking care of the child.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and others would immediately return home after school, making the whole house lively.

A scene filled with laughter and joy.

Making Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu very envious, almost to the point of being resentful.

Every day when they return, since they moved here, their grandson and granddaughter can’t come over, leaving only a maid in the house besides the old couple.

Before they could busy themselves playing with Tang Yuan during the day, ignoring the emptiness at home, but now they return home to immediate coldness.

Lonely, solitary, and cold.

The couple gritted their teeth and made a decision.

A month later, a new family moved to the third floor of Jiang Xiaoxiao’s building.

It wasn’t until the next day that Jiang Xiaoxiao discovered that Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu actually moved upstairs.

Even she couldn’t help but quietly laugh.

In her past life, she wasn’t this well-liked.

Perhaps the old couple moved here for Tang Yuan, not for her.

It truly is holding high status because of the child.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was used to treating herself as that unloved, reckless Jiang Xiaoxiao from her past life. She never considered herself important.

Monday was anatomy class.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed into the classroom hugging her books.

She was late today; before school, Tang Yuan threw a tantrum, and at three months, Tang Yuan was already good at acting spoiled, stretching his little hands to pull Jiang Xiaoxiao’s clothes with a look of determination.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was out of breath rushing into the classroom.

From the lectern, Professor Li frowned deeply, students being late is no big deal, late students usually sneak quietly from the back of the classroom.

But this one was unusually brazen, arriving late, seemingly eager for attention.

She was a young girl, and Li Xueming was unfamiliar with her.

He believed this girl must often be late for his class, or else he wouldn’t be completely unfamiliar with her face.

"What’s your name, and why are you late?"

His favorite student, Zhang Rucheng, showed a faint trace of ridicule on his face.

"Mr. Li, this is the famous Jiang Xiaoxiao from our school. She started attending school two months late, even taking leave is nothing, let alone such small matters like being late."

Li Xueming immediately understood that this was the notorious Jiang Xiaoxiao.

At the beginning of the term, she made quite a commotion at the school, with her powerful backing.

No matter how strong her background, here in the medical academy, things rely on skills not connections. No matter how strong an influence, if the grades are bad, it’s meaningless.

Unpleasant feelings rose up.

"Sorry, professor, I won’t be late next time, please forgive me this once."

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t exactly tell the professor she was late because of her son. This kind of excuse doesn’t stand.

In her past life, as a teacher herself, she absolutely disliked students and doctors who were constantly late or leaving early due to family chores.

Any reason is just an excuse. In this life, she finally realized that once a woman has a family and children, she truly faces more binds.

This is why many people don’t want women in important positions; women’s family bindings are much more than men’s.

Li Xueming couldn’t ignore the dean’s influence; he coldly maintained his expression, "I hope you won’t be late again next time. If you are, don’t bother attending the class. If you don’t want to attend my class, you don’t have to come. Alright, now I’ll continue today’s lesson."

These words were harsh, making Jiang Xiaoxiao’s face burn; she was the best student, never spoken to like this by a teacher in her past life.

Of course, the teachers from her past life were hospital seniors, speaking much more sharply than Professor Li wouldn’t be a surprise.

But she always tried not to be scolded by seniors.

Such words were never directed at her in the past.

This indeed was a fresh experience.
