After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 44 Her family went bankrupt?

"Professor Ming, are you planning to take on an apprentice?" the doctor asked in surprise.

He turned around and glanced at me.

I never expected that Professor Ming would take a liking to me.

"Yes, so what?" Professor Ming said proudly, "I personally approved it."

"How could I dare to have any objections? I just didn't mean to congratulate Professor Ming on finally having a successor," the doctor explained with a smile.

"Watch your mouth and don't go around saying anything, or those old men will try to steal your girl from me," Professor Ming said worriedly.

"Don't worry, my mouth is sealed tight," the doctor assured him.

Professor Ming snorted and continued administering acupuncture.

After one hour.

My mother's condition has improved.

Professor Ming reassured me.

"Professor Ming, I've already arranged accommodations for you. You should go and rest now," I said.

"Okay." Professor Ming is getting on in years.

I had my bodyguard take him and Dai Chen'an to the hotel to rest.

He stayed at the hospital by himself.

For the next few days, Professor Ming came to the hospital every day to give my mother acupuncture.

About two weeks later.

My mom woke up.

However, she is not in good condition, probably because her injuries are too severe and her brain is still having some problems.

She stared at me blankly, without reacting for a long time.

My heart was breaking: "Mom..."

Her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

I held her hand and said, "Mom, I will definitely cure you. Don't worry."

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here," I said, wiping away her tears.

Seeing her like this, I'm even less likely to let the Gu family off the hook!

Professor Ming walked over: "Is he awake?"

"Professor Ming, my mother doesn't seem to be responding." I choked up.

"Her brain damage was so severe, it's already quite remarkable that she's woken up now." Professor Ming comforted her, "This is already very good, with proper care and recovery, she will gradually get better."

I nodded.

“However, I’ve been here for quite a while now, and some people know I’m here, so they might come looking for me,” Professor Ming explained. “I’m an individual.”

I was both amused and exasperated: "I understand, but what about my mom?"

Professor Ming looked at me and said, "School is about to start, so you'll have to come with me."

"But what about my mother?" I left, worried.

"How about this, bring your mother along too?" Professor Ming thought for a moment. "That way, you can focus on your studies, and I'll take care of your mother's medical treatment, okay?"

I know this is the only way.

"Don't I have to go to school?" I asked in surprise.

"Just follow me, and I guarantee you'll graduate," Professor Ming grinned.

Without thinking much, I said, "Okay."

Because I know that even without my mother's accident, I should have gone with Professor Ming.

So I know I won't stay in Xinjing City for too long.

I never expected that the Gu family would lay a hand on my mother in order to threaten me.

Now that my mother is in this state and needs someone to take care of her, I can't possibly take any more risks.

We can only wait any longer.

Looking at my mother's blank stare, my heart ached: "Nothing else matters, I have to make my mother better."

Professor Ming has learned some things about me these days, and he comforted me, saying, "I know you are very angry. Your mother has suffered an undeserved misfortune. As long as you study hard with me, I guarantee that they will not be your match in the future."

I nodded.

Three days later, I left quietly with my mother.

I didn't tell anyone except Mu Xi.

Mu Xi only knew that I left with Professor Ming, but she had no idea where I went.

And I was gone for five years.

-

Five years later.

I stood in Professor Ming's office, lost in thought.

Dai Chen'an stood at the door and knocked. He was dressed in black with a white flower pinned to his chest.

“I’ve packed all of Professor Ming’s things.” He walked over and said, “According to his will, everything he owns will be given to you after he passes away.”

I turned my head slightly and said, "Senior brother, thank you for your hard work."

“You don’t need to be so polite with me.” Dai Chen’an held back her tears. “Everyone is very sad, especially you. Over the years, he has treated you like his own granddaughter, but he has entrusted the entire research institute to you. You must cheer up.”

"Okay, I understand." I nodded.

"Also, it's so cold, you're dressed too lightly," Dai Chen'an instructed. "The school wants us to go back, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready." I looked at my clothes.

This morning, we just attended Professor Ming's funeral.

According to his will, his ashes were scattered under a ginkgo tree.

In December, the weather in Kunming, the "Spring City," is unpredictable, with both sunshine and rain.

I was wearing a black shirt and dress pants, which did look rather thin.

Over the years, I have been studying diligently under Professor Ming. I completed my undergraduate degree in two years and then spent another two years going on to graduate with a master's and doctoral degree. I have completely inherited Professor Ming's mantle.

When he passed away, I promised that I would never let him down.

Moreover, he has many unfulfilled wishes that I need to fulfill for him.

“If you’re ready, let’s go.” Dai Chen’an took a deep breath. “It’s time to go back.”

"Okay." I knew it was time to go back and take revenge.

Four hours later.

Dai Chen'an and I walked out of the airport discreetly.

He arranged for a car to pick us up.

Get in the car.

The radio is broadcasting today's news: It is reported that newly crowned Best Actress Zhao Baixue has returned to China, and Gu Heng, president of the Gu Group, personally picked her up at the airport. When asked when they would go public with their relationship, Gu Heng said that they are just friends.

My dark eyes felt slightly cool.

Five years have passed, and Zhao Baixue has actually become a film queen?

Has Gu Heng successfully taken over the Gu family?

It was so unexpected.

The driver, unaware of my identity, remarked, "You know, celebrities just like to put on a show. Even after all this, they're still trying to hide it. I don't know what this female celebrity is after in this man."

Dai Chen'an thought for a moment: "For his money and status?"

I paused for a moment: "Isn't Zhao Baixue's family very wealthy?"

“Her family went bankrupt,” the driver explained. “I heard on the news that her family went bankrupt and owed a lot of money.”

Bankrupt?

How could the Zhao family go bankrupt?

This is truly unexpected.

I asked, "When did this happen?"

"About two years ago," the driver replied.

I remained silent.

Over the years, I have focused on my studies and research, and have not cared about anything outside of my life.

I never expected to learn such important news so soon after arriving in Xinjing City.

The driver dropped me and Dai Chen'an off at the school gate and then left.

We went to see the principal.

The principal looked at me and said, "Professor Ming's beloved student has finally shown up."

I said casually, "I hope the principal will continue to take care of me in the future."

"Professor Shen, you don't need to be so polite. As the youngest professor in the school, we hope you can achieve something soon and not disappoint everyone," the principal said with an awkward smile.

I raised an eyebrow: "Did someone say something?"
