CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 515

"Dean, do you know Jiang Moxi?" Fu Wangning’s tone was clearly tinged with displeasure.

The dean, of course, also noticed the change in Fu Wangning’s tone and quickly said, "Not exactly acquainted!"

He knew Jiang Moxi, but Jiang Moxi might not know him.

"Not exactly acquainted? Then why are you so agitated? Could it be, you’re afraid of the Feng Family’s authority?"

Fu Wangning’s relentless questioning made the dean somewhat embarrassed.

"It’s not that I fear the Feng Family’s authority, it’s just..."

It’s just that the dean still hadn’t forgotten the young girl from the Feng Family, who answered the most difficult test question at the Chinese Medicine College in twenty minutes, and even got a perfect score, leaving everyone in awe.

Yes, the dean was an old acquaintance of Old Master Feng.

Back then, Old Master Feng had claimed his illness was cured overnight by flipping through medical texts by their own little Xixi, a claim the dean was skeptical of, so he had given her the most difficult questions from their college’s history to test her.

The result was that the girl only took twenty minutes to submit a perfect score.

Later, the dean not only believed that Jiang Moxi was the one who had cured Old Master Feng but had also given her an admission notice to the Chinese Medicine College.

The dean believed that if this girl had time to be properly nurtured, she would definitely be more amazing than Hua Tuo.

Regrettably, that girl had not even glanced at the admission notice he had personally delivered.

The dean had waited in the Chinese Medicine College for nearly ten years and still did not see that girl come to enroll.

Upon learning that this girl had recently returned to Emperor City, the dean had even planned to personally invite her!

Unexpectedly, before he could act, the girl came to him on her own initiative—how could the dean not be excited?

But before the dean could finish speaking, Fu Wangning cut him off.

"If you’re not afraid of the Feng Family’s clout, it would be best to expel her. Otherwise, if she causes any shameful incident in the future, the college would be dragged into it and your reputation tarnished."

The dean frowned slightly, suddenly understanding that this might be a conflict between Professor Fu and the young girl.

He felt it was inappropriate to get involved and said, "That won’t happen. She won’t cause any disgraceful incidents, I can assure you that."

The dean was still hoping that the young girl would bring honor to their college!

Fu Wangning didn’t expect the dean to suddenly backtrack, his face slightly embarrassed: "Since you’ve made your decision, I just hope you won’t regret it later."

With those words, Fu Wangning got up and walked out.

The dean had clearly seen Fu Wangning’s extreme dissatisfaction because he didn’t expel Jiang Moxi.

But the dean didn’t care about that at all. As soon as Fu Wangning left the office, he was busy calling Old Master Feng.

"Old Feng, let’s speak plainly, has little Xixi registered with our school or not?"

"Yes, she has registered. But don’t make a fuss over it; I barely managed to convince her to come out and play for a few days. If you let everyone know what she has done, she won’t want to stay even for a few days."

Jiang Moxi especially disliked nosiness, and there were always people bothering her with questions. Otherwise, she wouldn’t bother mustering the spirit.

This was also the reason why the Feng Family hired private tutors for her instead of sending her to some prestigious school.

The child was very intelligent, but she didn’t like being in the thick of things, so it was all the more important to tailor the teaching to the individual.

Upon hearing Old Master Feng’s warning, the dean hurriedly reflected on whether he had mentioned anything inappropriate in front of Fu Wangning.

After several checks to make sure he had not disclosed anything related to Jiang Moxi to Fu Wangning, the dean quickly made a promise.

"Don’t worry, only I know about these matters at this school. As long as I keep quiet, absolutely no one else will."

"Just make sure you don’t trouble her by always hanging around her. Our kid really doesn’t like being worshipped like a deity."

"Got it. I assure you, I will only watch her from a distance, never going up to bother her."

Then, the two old men also made a plan to go fishing and have morning tea together in a few days, just for leisure.

Anyway, the two of them had a really good time talking on the phone, completely unaffected by Fu Wangning.

*

After coming out of the dean’s office, Fu Wangning was fuming. She muttered under her breath, "It’s just because you’re afraid of the Feng Family backing Jiang Moxi that you won’t expel her, isn’t it?"

Fu Wangning, being an academic, was far more proud and aloof than ordinary people.

She was extremely displeased with the dean’s and others’ fawning and fear towards Jiang Moxi.

However, she thought that since she still had to stay at the Chinese Medicine College for more than a month, she naturally had ways to drive Jiang Moxi out of the college.

After mulling it over, Fu Wangning started to take action.

Meanwhile, at the women’s detention center—

Mealtime had come again, and Jiang Weiwei was very hungry.

But after getting her meal, looking at the food that seemed like pig feed to her, she had no appetite at all, she even felt a bit nauseous.

Since she had been in the detention center, she had always made a fuss about not eating, and the guards were worried about potential issues, so they kept a close eye on her.

Jiang Weiwei felt uncomfortable being watched like this and could only scoop up a spoonful of rice and put it in her mouth.

But she tasted something strange in the rice, chewed a few times, and then spit it out.

The guard thought at first she was just disdainful of the food here and came forward to persuade her.

But Jiang Weiwei didn’t just spit out the rice she had eaten, she kept retching as if she wanted to vomit out her entire stomach.

The guard was also a woman, and seeing Jiang Weiwei like this, she guessed what was going on: "Jiang Weiwei, are you pregnant?"

After barely getting over her discomfort, Jiang Weiwei heard the guard’s question, and her face suddenly turned ashen white.

Pregnant...

With the guard’s reminder, Jiang Weiwei suddenly remembered that her period hadn’t come for two months.

If she really was pregnant, the child was very likely Wu Shirong’s, but it could also be Zhuang Wenjin’s.

During that period, she had relations only with these two men.

And the chances of it being Zhuang Wenjin’s were higher, because they had been together more frequently and he never agreed to take contraceptive measures, forcing her to rely on emergency contraception afterwards...

Jiang Weiwei shuddered at the thought that the child might belong to Zhuang Wenjin.

But she considered that the child could also belong to Wu Shirong.

After all, there were several times with Wu Shirong without any contraception either.

In her panic and helplessness, Jiang Weiwei suddenly thought of something and quickly grabbed the guard’s hand, pleading pitifully:

"I might really be pregnant, could you please make a call for me to the child’s father?"

The guard was a woman too, and seeing Jiang Weiwei pregnant and in prison, unable to eat for several days, couldn’t help but feel compassion.

So, she made a call on Jiang Weiwei’s behalf to Wu Shirong.

That afternoon, Wu Shirong came to the detention center to see Jiang Weiwei.

Frankly, receiving the guard’s call and arriving at the detention center to see Jiang Weiwei, Wu Shirong truly felt a sense of unreality.

The sweet and coy girl who used to make his heart flutter every time he saw her was now sallow and emaciated, having lost all her previous vivacity.

In the time after they had parted, Wu Shirong had been distraught for a long while, but his mother told him to look forward and arranged for him to meet other well-born girls.

After a while, Wu Shirong was getting on quite well with one of the young heiresses, and though it wasn’t as electrifying as his time with Jiang Weiwei—whom he couldn’t bear to be away from—he at least had a harmonious relationship.

If nothing unexpected happened, in two or three months Wu Shirong would be engaged to that heiress, stepping into a new phase of his life.

But today the guard contacted him, saying that Jiang Weiwei had discovered she was pregnant in the detention center...

Wu Shirong’s mind was a mess, so the very first thing he asked Jiang Weiwei upon seeing her was: "Are you sure you’re pregnant? Is the child really mine?"
