After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

What was supposed to be a reunion to maintain friendships among classmates ended in a sour ending.

Shen Shi'an and Su Yanxi are both too low-key, so much so that everyone assumes that their careers are not very successful.

But if you think about it carefully, these two people were prominent figures in college, so how could they possibly become unknown after leaving college?

Those who had looked down on Shen Shi'an and Su Yanxi earlier were now secretly regretting their actions, and Jiang Feng was so regretful that he almost turned pale.

His face was pale, and his expression showed a hint of panic.

What would he do if the company found out that Changfeng Group refused to cooperate because of him?

Su Yanxi led Professor Qin into the car first, intending to take him home.

On the other side, the squad leader glanced at Jiang Feng, pulled Shen Shi'an aside, and said apologetically, "Shi'an, I'm really sorry. I called you here, but things have turned out like this."

"Squad leader, this is not your fault."

Shen Shi'an smiled at the troupe leader: "Over the years, I've rarely returned to H City, and I haven't gotten together with everyone much. It's normal that you don't know about my situation!"

"Shi An, let's get together again next time."

"We'll talk about it later. I'm leaving now; I still need to see Professor Qin off."

Shen Shi'an did not immediately agree to the class monitor's suggestion, but changed the subject.

The class monitor knew that Shen Shi'an was definitely unhappy this time, so he was too embarrassed to ask for anything more and could only say goodbye to Shen Shi'an and see him off.

Shen Shi'an got into the car and drove away amidst the gazes of everyone.

It wasn't until the car drove away and disappeared on the road that the crowd came to their senses and gathered in twos and threes to discuss it quietly.

Jiang Feng, his face pale, approached the squad leader, at a loss: "Squad leader, what should we do now? You have to help me."

"Help? How can I help?"

The class monitor glared at Jiang Feng: "If I had known you would cause such a mess today, I shouldn't have agreed to invite Professor Qin over, and I certainly wouldn't have called Shi An."

Furthermore, the rumors about Gu Yannian keeping Su Yanxi as a mistress back then were just that—rumors. That's all in the past. You're bringing it up again today to target her and make things so ugly. What can I do?

Jiang Feng opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, inwardly groaning.

"Su Yanxi has already said she's canceling her cooperation with your company. You'd better watch yourself!"

The troupe leader didn't want to say anything more to Jiang Feng, so he coldly uttered a sentence and left.

Seeing this, the classmates who had just been fawning over Jiang Feng also left one after another.

Jiang Feng stood there alone, all alone, ignored by everyone.

……

In the car.

Professor Qin looked at Su Yanxi and said in a serious tone, "Your career is developing so well now, why did you hide it from me? Are you afraid I'll ask you for money?"

"Professor, please stop teasing me."

Su Yanxi was amused by Professor Qin's words: "No matter how well I do in my career, I will always be your student."

Hearing this, Professor Qin couldn't hold back any longer, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Xiaoxi, I'm truly happy for you that you've achieved what you have today. You've finally reaped the rewards of your hard work!"

"I owe my success today to you, Professor. If it weren't for your protection of me back then, I wouldn't have been able to pursue graduate studies, let alone be where I am today." Su Yanxi expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Professor Qin.

“I only did small things. You got to where you are today because of yourself.” Professor Qin said, then his smile faded a little as he thought of Jiang Feng: “Xiaoxi, don’t take what happened earlier too seriously. Jiang Feng isn’t a bad person at heart.”

However, back in college, he always liked to compete with Shi An, but he could never beat Shi An in anything. So, after finding a good job, he became a bit arrogant.

"Professor, don't worry, I've seen this kind of thing many times, I won't take it to heart."

"Okay." Professor Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say much about the company cooperation. But Jiang Feng and Shi An are classmates after all. Even if we can't cooperate, we shouldn't push Jiang Feng into a corner."

Shen Shi'an, who was driving, laughed and chimed in, "I always said that the professor treats all students equally. If Jiang Feng heard that, he would definitely be moved to tears."

"You've become so glib these past few years! Just focus on driving!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Listening to the interaction between Professor Qin and Shen Shi'an, Su Yanxi replied softly, "Professor, don't worry, I understand what you're saying and I know what to do."

"That's good."

The car stopped at the entrance of Professor Qin's residential area, and Professor Qin offered to let Su Yanxi walk with him for a while.

Su Yanxi helped Professor Qin walk towards his apartment building.

"Xiaoxi, have you been with Shi'an all these years?"

"Yes. If it weren't for my senior encouraging me to start my own business and supporting me all the way, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. I am very grateful to my senior."

"Gratitude? Is there nothing else besides gratitude?"

Professor Qin stopped and turned to look at Su Yanxi.

Su Yanxi withdrew her hand, remaining silent and unsure how to respond.

“Xiaoxi, although you are my student, I actually treat you like my daughter. I saw how much you suffered for that boy surnamed Gu.”

I know you like that guy surnamed Gu, but he's really not good enough for you. Shi An is different. He's always been by your side, and he's always there for you when you need help the most.

Xiaoxi, the key to a happy life is finding someone who cherishes and loves you. Only then will you find happiness. Life is short; don't let stubbornness cause you to miss out on the person who loves you most.

I don't know how much longer my body can hold on. My only wish right now is to see you get married and start a family.

Professor Qin's words were full of love. This love was not only that of a teacher to a student, but also that of a father and daughter.

Su Yanxi felt a lump in her throat and helped Professor Qin up again: "Professor, you are in good health. You will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

"Haha, okay, I'll definitely live to be a hundred. I want to see you get married. I'll be your officiant then."

Su Yanxi escorted Professor Qin home, exchanged a few more words with him, and then turned and went downstairs alone.

As Su Yanxi was about to leave the residential area, she saw Shen Shi'an waiting at the entrance.

Shen Shi'an stood by the car, saw Su Yanxi, and waved to her with a smile.

Seeing this, Su Yanxi stopped in her tracks. Professor Qin's words urging her to get married echoed in her ears again, and for the first time, Su Yanxi felt lost, unsure of how to face Shen Shi'an.
