44 Accepting the Invitation

“You took her away that night, right?” Nangong Jue was silent for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Fu Yunshen, and his gaze became a little deep.

“Yes.” Fu Yunshen nodded. “She walked down barefooted, and her feet were worn out.”

Nangong Jue frowned for a moment. “I thought you hated her?”

“Sir, I hate Han Binglan, who used to make trouble, but she’s not the same Han Binglan anymore.” Fu Yunshen looked at Nangong Jue. “If you really don’t like her, why don’t you let her go? I can tell that she’s not playing hard to get.” If she really wanted to play hard to get, she wouldn’t have kicked so hard. In the past, with one look from Nangong Jue, that woman probably couldn’t even speak properly.

Nangong Jue’s eyes narrowed for a moment.

“I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. Actually, she didn’t do anything wrong. She just wanted you to love her.” Fu Yunshen smiled. “Actually, Sir Jue, aren’t you responsible? If you really didn’t like her, even if she schemed against you back then, you were completely capable of rejecting her. However, you still registered your marriage with her…” He paused for a moment. “As a childhood friend, I don’t want you to regret it. Think about it carefully.” After saying that, he carried his things and left.

Nangong Jue sat in the study for a long time, Fu Yunshen’s words echoing in his mind. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t deny that that woman had a place in his heart.

He despised her, but he had to admit that he had never wanted her to stay away.

Perhaps…

Remembering something, he picked up his phone and pulled up the video and message Hao Kai had sent him earlier. After watching it a few times, he called Fang Ming directly. “Fang Ming, I’ve accepted Jiao Tong University’s invitation.”

Fang Ming was stunned. Hadn’t he always refused? Why had he suddenly changed his mind? Could it be… Forget it, he shouldn’t guess Boss’s thoughts. “Sir Jue, which invitation should I accept?”

“There are several?”

“One is to invite you to the school to give a presentation before the summer holidays. The other is to invite you to be a guest professor in the Finance Department. That requires you to teach regularly…”

“Guest professor,” he said and hung up.

Le Yao hadn’t received a call from Han Guosheng in the past few days, but he had come to her in person.

One afternoon, after class, she and Qiao Qiao had just walked out of the campus when they saw a big black Mercedes parked in front of them. The window was lowered and Han Guosheng looked at Le Yao impatiently. “Get in.”

However, Le Yao took a step back in horror. “Who are you? Do you think I will get into the car just because you say so? You’re already so old, yet you still dare to target college students? Don’t you know that society is ruled by law? Do you believe that I can send you to jail in minutes?”

Han Guosheng’s face darkened. He opened the door and got out. “You-”

Le Yao took two hurried steps back and hid behind Qiao Qiao. “What are you going to do? Are you going to use force? President Qiao, you have to protect me.”

Han Guosheng felt a little breathless. He reached out to touch the quick-acting heart-saving pill, but he realized that he didn’t bring it. Damn, this b*tch was here to jinx him… No wonder Nangong Jue didn’t like her. If Qian’er had married him instead, she would have definitely won his heart and improved the Han family. However, then again, Qian’er would never marry an illegitimate child. If she wanted to marry, she had to marry a legitimate son and the rightful successor of the family.
