Their journey was uneventful.
Su Ming drove Su Qiu back to Eastsea University, parking the car in the off-campus lot.
They walked onto the familiar grounds together. It had been some time since Su Ming had visited his alma mater since graduating.
The unchanged campus stirred a sense of nostalgia within him.
It was now 10:30 PM, and the dormitory would close at 11 PM, but he wasn't worried about the time.
“Ye Fenglong won't bother you again. You can concentrate on your studies now,” Su Ming said, smiling reassuringly.
“Thank you, brother,” Su Qiu replied, her demeanor noticeably brighter and more spirited.
?The events of the banquet were somewhat of a blur to her, but she was certain of one thing: her brother was formidable, a protector who could alleviate her troubles.
“This card has 100,000 yuan in it, and the PIN is your birthday,” Su Ming said as he handed her a bank card.
?”I can't accept this!” Su Qiu protested, shaking her head vehemently.
“Take it,” Su Ming insisted, his voice firm.
?It wasn't that he couldn't afford to give more; he knew that offering too much would only lead to her refusal.
“I have plenty of friends and money isn't an issue for me. Consider this a loan for your education,” he explained.
?”Return it to me in ten years, okay?” he added with a smile.
“Okay!” Su Qiu agreed, biting her lip and nodding determinedly as she carefully accepted the card.
?Su Ming smiled again. “Now, go back and focus on your studies. Don't overthink things.”
At the dormitory entrance, he gave her one last piece of advice before she nodded and hurried back inside.
Su Ming had considered renting an apartment for her off-campus, but she had declined.
Regardless of his wealth, she didn't want to be reckless with money that wasn't hers. Besides, she saw no need to live off-campus.
Thinking about how Young Master Ye would no longer trouble her and that she could graduate without further incident, Su Qiu felt a wave of relief.
Upon opening the dormitory door, all eyes turned to her.
“You look stunning. Are those gifts from Young Master Ye?” her roommates asked curiously.
“Su Qiu has become a woman now!”
Her three roommates burst into laughter.
Su Qiu's smile vanished in an instant.
She bowed her head and silently returned to her bed.
“She's still playing the innocent!”
Su Qiu nestled under her covers, biting her lip.
Being naturally shy, she was at a loss for words against her roommates' mockery and could only suffer in silence.
Soon after, the dormitory door shut.
The dormitory manager was also settling down for the night.
Suddenly, a frantic knocking sounded at the door.
“Who's there?!”
An irritated dorm supervisor climbed out of bed, grumbling, “Which class are you from? I'll make sure to speak to your teacher tomorrow!”
Dressed in her nightgown and wielding a flashlight, the supervisor stepped out, visibly annoyed.
But when the flashlight illuminated the visitors' faces, she nearly leaped with shock!
There stood the leadership of the college, including the dean, vice dean, and secretary of the School of Economics!
What was happening?
“Open the door!”
The dean demanded, knocking urgently and speaking with a stern voice.
The supervisor, not daring to waste time, struggled to open the door.
“Which dormitory is Su Qiu in?”
The dean asked, his brow furrowed.
“305.”
The supervisor stammered, blinking rapidly.
“Lead the way!”
“Yes, sir!”
The supervisor realized in a flash.
Su Qiu was rumored to be promiscuous.
She'd heard from Su Qiu's roommates that Su Qiu was always out with the son of the university's president, and yet she acted so innocently upon her return.
?Su Qiu's roommates had spread such rumors widely, causing many to shun her, which had led to her severe depression.
“Leader, she's just a college girl who likes to socialize. It's nothing serious.”
The supervisor said, leading the way and looking back.
“Be quiet!”
The dean glared, pointing at the supervisor's nose and shouting, “Leave now!”
The supervisor stood there, stunned, insisting, “But I'm telling the truth.”
The dean, hands on his hips and seething with anger, retorted, “It's people like you who have tormented Su Qiu to this point. You should know, Su Qiu comes from a very influential family; even the president wouldn't dare cross her! How dare you spread such lies?”
The aunt was utterly bewildered.
In her eyes, the president of Eastsea University was an incredibly influential person.
Yet, even he wouldn't dare cross Su Qiu.
How influential must Su Qiu be?
But if she was that influential, why did she constantly bite her tongue?
She never spoke up in her own defense.
If Su Qiu was so formidable that even the president wouldn't dare offend her, then everything her roommate had said must be a lie!
“Lead the way, now!”
The dean bellowed.
It was the middle of the night in the girls' dormitory, and many were asleep.
Startled by the bellowing, numerous girls quickly dressed and came out to see what was happening.
What in the world was going on?
As they opened their doors, they saw the aunt, drenched in sweat and panic-stricken, hurriedly leading the way. Trailing behind her was a procession of university officials, including the president, the vice president, the secretary, and the director.
