CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: ARE YOU EVEN A WOMAN? (3)

Of course, Tang Yanqi also knew that if she pressed too hard, she would be the one to suffer in the end. They had a background and were school leaders, while she was just an ordinary university student. What could she do?

Tang Yanqi was about to say a few polite words when the door to the principal’s office was pushed open, and another secretary hurried in: "Principal, Mr. Sheng has arrived."

A shock rippled through the room, tensing everyone’s nerves. Tang Yanqi’s face also froze instantly—Sheng Jianan had come?

A tall, slender figure appeared at the door. Sheng Jianan’s gaze swept over everyone inside faintly. The principal was the first to step forward: "Mr. Sheng, how come you have time to visit?"

Sheng Jianan’s gaze lingered on Tang Yanqi for just two seconds before moving away, unnoticed by anyone, revealing a slight displeasure beneath his calm eyes. From Tang Yanqi’s face, Sheng Jianan saw neither the anger of being misunderstood nor the grievance of being wronged—just the usual carefree demeanor. This displeased him greatly.

"I heard that a friend of mine was caught up in some disputes, so I came to take a look."

Sheng Jianan spoke faintly, causing another pause among the people in the principal’s office—Sheng Jianan’s friend?

Everyone, except Tang Yanqi and Yun Fan, focused their attention on Yun Fan. Yun Fan was also somewhat surprised that Sheng Jianan would come and smiled faintly: "It’s all resolved."

"Oh? Resolved? How was it resolved?"

Yun Fan didn’t say much, and the principal hurried to explain. After all, it wasn’t something presentable, so he kept it concise, ending with: "It was all a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding of the relationship between Tang and Mr. Mu."

Sheng Jianan lounged carelessly on the sofa. From the moment he entered, the atmosphere in the room shifted, as if he was the protagonist, the sole protagonist.

After the principal finished speaking, Sheng Jianan lightly tapped his finger on his knee: "So, was it you, Principal, who posted the note?"

"Of course not."

No one knew what Sheng Jianan was planning, so naturally, the principal hurried to deny it upon hearing such a question.

"Then, since it wasn’t, why hasn’t the person involved come out to apologize?"

Sheng Jianan said it casually, yet it made the atmosphere in the principal’s office plummet to freezing point.

Tang Yanqi also cast a surprised glance at Sheng Jianan—was he speaking up for her?

This thought had barely faded from her mind when, the next second, Sheng Jianan spoke faintly: "Is my friend so easily misunderstood?"

With one sentence, it became clear that Sheng Jianan was speaking up because Mu Yunfan was involved. The principal wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Yes, yes, we will certainly expedite the investigation and give Mr. Mu justice."

After a lot of fuss, when Tang Yanqi left the principal’s office, it was already dusk. Sheng Jianan declined the farewell from those in the principal’s office. Downstairs at the main building, only the three of them were walking, one after the other. After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yanqi bit her lip and approached Yun Fan, speaking softly: "Mr. Mu, thank you for your trouble today. I won’t disturb you two further; I’ll leave first."

After saying it, without even glancing at Sheng Jianan, Tang Yanqi hurriedly headed in the direction of the dormitory. Sheng Jianan’s hands hanging at his sides clenched silently, and his brows furrowed, feeling a bit irritable. Damn, this woman had ignored him from beginning to end, barely giving him a look.
