Chapter 117: Strict Rules

Ning Li shook her head. “It’s okay.”

She paused and added, “I didn’t take Pei Song’s coat either.”

Lu Huaiyu looked at her. The feeling of frustration and suffocation that lingered in his chest faded a little.

He grinned and grunted softly.

“Let’s go.”

Ning Li was stunned. ‘That’s it? No more questions?’

She had thought that Lu Huaiyu had been determined to get to the bottom of this.

“Second brother, you believe me? You believe that I am not in a relationship with Pei Song?”

Lu Huaiyu walked closer to her and patted her on the head.

“You wouldn’t dare.”

…

Geng Haifan and Pei Song waited outside. They could not hear a word inside the document room.

A while later, the door opened.

Lu Huaiyu and Ning Li exited one after another.

Geng Haifan went up to the man with a serious look.

Lu Huaiyu smiled. “Mr. Geng, this is what happened: Lili had gone to Jingcheng because she had an argument with her family. She went to visit a friend there just to get away for the weekend. She was embarrassed to tell you because it’s a family matter.”

Geng Haifan felt something amiss but he also remembered Su Yuan’s treatment of the girl, so he tried to be an understanding teacher.

He sighed and looked at Ning Li with a pitiful gaze.

“I see…”

It was not news that Ning Li had a difficult relationship with her mother and it was normal for them to have arguments in such a tense environment.

Moreover, since Ning Li was a teenager in her rebellious phase, it was understandable that she had behaved impulsively.

Lu Huaiyu nodded.

“She went there for a short getaway and even visited Xijing University.”

Geng Haifan’s eyes sparkled.

“Really?”

“Yeah…” Ning Li said.

Geng Haifan felt relieved.

It was wrong for Ning Li to lie and run off to Jingcheng, but judging from the explanation, Ning Li was still focused on her studies.

She had even visited Xijing University during her getaway.

Could it mean that her university of choice was Xijing University?

Geng Haifan’s worries were replaced by delight.

“Great, that’s great.”

The situation was nothing more than a misunderstanding and it was understandable. Ning Li came from a complicated background and was also a little stubborn.

“If that’s the case, things will be a lot easier to handle. I’ll tell the school about what truly happened.”

Everything had been settled on a good note.

Geng Haifan then looked at Ning Li.

“Ning Li, if you are feeling down, there are many other ways for you to release your stress. Next time, try not to do something so impulsive. It will only cause more trouble and misunderstanding. It might even be dangerous. It will only cause those who love you to worry.”
