I ADORE HIM - Season 7 Episode 85

Even if she didn’t tell him, he could still conclude what had happened.

Gu Yusheng turned to look around at the dean’s office, wanting to address the student dean first. He said to Qin Zhi’ai in a low voice, “I’m sorry I got here late. I’m sorry I’m responsible for you having to go through this.”

He said it twice, but she didn’t respond either time, while everyone else in the room looked shocked at what he had said.

Gu Yusheng was not surprised by her silence; instead, he felt bad when he saw the sad look on her face. He gently winked at her and put a small smile on his face, saying in a low voice again, “Can you wait for me here? I need to go in there to handle this first.”

Gu Yusheng stood there for a moment looking at Qin Zhi’ai and then turned around to nod at the men who had accompanied him. He headed toward the dean’s office door, and they all followed him when he walked into the office.

Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes followed Gu Yusheng through the door and then through the bank of windows looking into the dean’s office. She saw Gu Yusheng properly greet her mother and then her little brother; however, he appeared shocked when he saw Qin Jiayan.

The men who had followed Gu Yusheng were also very polite to Qin Zhi’ai’s mother and Qin Jiayan when they saw how respectfully Gu Yusheng had greeted them.

Qin Zhi’ai had no idea what they talked about in the dean’s office, but when Gu Yusheng walked her mom and Qin Jiayan out of the office, a teacher walked out with them.

After he closed the office door behind him, the teacher asked Qin Zhi’ai, her mother, and Qin Jiayan to stay in a waiting room next door, and then he poured water for them.

Qin Zhi’ai’s mother had always held a high regard for teachers, so when this teacher was suddenly exceedingly nice, it made her nervous.

When he stepped out for a second, Qin Zhi’ai’s mother whispered to Qin Zhi’ai with an anxious look on her face, “Xiao’ai, who is that guy? He looks very important. That dean was so arrogant, but when that man brought in that group of people into the office, he immediately lost his attitude. I think there was a principal or a superintendent in that group, and that man also must hold a high position.”

Qin Zhi’ai’s mother hadn’t explained everything correctly, so Qin Jiayan sat down next to her with an angry look on his face and jumped in to say, “He’s the district superintendent.”

Qin Zhi’ai’s mother immediately nodded to agree. “Yes, you’re right.”

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t understand anything that was happening, so she was helpless to explain to her mother and brother her perspective of what was going on. So, she only said, “He’s my former boss.”

…

Qin Zhi’ai had no details about how Gu Yusheng had approached the student dean, since she was not in the office with them. She only knew that Gu Yusheng and the others had walked in and out of the dean’s office in less than 10 minutes.

Two men from the group followed Gu Yusheng and Xiaowang into the waiting room and immediately smiled brightly at Qin Zhi’ai without Gu Yusheng or Xiaowang introducing them. One of them said, “Miss Qin, we are so sorry for what happened. It was our mistake.”

The other added, “Yes, this was our mistake. We have finished our investigation and determined that Qin Jiayan did not cheat on the test. We will discuss a way to make up this misunderstanding with him.”
