Liang Bowen looked at his watch and said, “He should be arriving soon.”

Chen Yuan scoffed and said, “So what if he's coming, I'm not interested in his lessons at all. He's here because of Qiao Chen, anyway. It's not the 80s anymore. I can find lessons by famous lecturers online easily. Anyway, does he actually know our curriculum? He has been teaching researchers all this time and he might not even be as good at teaching as Lao Shen.”

The students in Cla.s.s A thought about it and fell silent.

They had a bad relations.h.i.+p with Cla.s.s B, and hence Qiao Chen. Qiao Chen was even good friends with Zhao Jingwei that hurt Sister Nian and Shen Qingqing. They didn't have good impressions about the professor that Qiao Chen had managed to invite.

As they chatted, the PA system sounded.

They were asked to gather at the lecture hall.

Liang Bowen smiled and put away his earphones. He then looked up and said nonchalantly, “Speaking of the devil, he's here already.”

“I really don't want to go,” Shen Qingqing said as she pouted.

She didn't want to see Qiao Chen's prideful look. The students from Cla.s.s B were getting boastful in school for the past few days.

It was as though the professor from Qing University was their waiter.

Even though they didn't want to go, they started to walk towards the lecture hall.

Qiao Nian saw how unmotivated they were and said, “Maybe it's not as bad as you think…”

Liang Bowen patted her on the shoulder as he thought that Qiao Nian was trying to console them. He smiled and said, “Sister Nian, don't try to make us feel better. We're more worried about you than anything else.”

Only he and Chen Yuan knew what the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Chen and Qiao Nian was like.

Sister Nian must have felt horrible from what Qiao Chen and Fu Ge did.

Even so, she was trying to console them.

Liang Bowen was touched.

“Don't worry, I'll support you.”

“Uh…”

Qiao Nian frowned. She didn't want to say much as they dragged her out. She saw the “understanding” look on their faces and wanted to explain everything.

However, they were blocked.

“Qiao Chen, what are you doing!” Shen Qingqing saw the people blocking them and immediately stood in front of Qiao Nian to protect her.

Qiao Chen wasn't alone. Other students from Cla.s.s B were with her. One of them was a girl that was following her just now.

“Qiao Nian, did you take Chen Chen's bracelet? It went missing, and you were the only one that spoke to her just now. Return it to her and apologize. We will pretend that nothing happened,” one of the girls, closer to Qiao Chen, said pridefully.

The students from Cla.s.s A saw that the students from Cla.s.s B were here and came back. It was as though they were preparing to fight.

Qiao Nian frowned and looked at Qiao Chen.

She didn't notice that Qiao Chen was wearing a bracelet.

Shen Qingqing pushed the girl away furiously and screamed. “How dare you create such a big ruckus in front of my cla.s.s? You should ask Qiao Chen where she put her bracelet. Why are you asking Nian Nian, anyway? Nian Nian isn't her mum. She's not responsible for Qiao Chen. Are you guys serious?”

The girl that was pushed away glared at her angrily and said, “Do you know the brand of the bracelet Chen Chen lost?”

Qiao Nian didn't know. She then asked nonchalantly, “What brand is it?”
