My System Forces Me to Live off Women
Chapter 431 - 310: This Is Your Home?
"Set up? Set up your sister! Who in their right mind wouldn’t use a Liaoning P plate in Ningyuan City and instead use a Capital plate? Aren’t they just asking for trouble?"
Wu Wenyue couldn’t help but curse: "It’s all your fault! Why did you have to tell Old Zhao about it beforehand?"
Li Peifeng felt wronged: "Brother Yue, do you think I’d be stupid enough to tell her about this on purpose? When we were isolated, you told her I was taking you to see your parents during the winter break, so it was entirely you who told her about it. As for how Qingge could guess it was today and arrive ahead of us, it must be because I called her yesterday morning to take a leave, saying I needed to leave school early today..."
Xu Manning coldly interrupted: "So why did you ask her for leave?"
Li Peifeng was speechless: "She’s my mentor. Could I leave school early without asking her for leave?"
"You do know she’s your mentor?"
The two girls spoke in unison, and Wu Wenyue glared at him fiercely: "What now? Should we go upstairs?"
Li Peifeng didn’t reply, took out his phone, and glanced at it; his WeChat conversation with his parents had ended at 8:30 AM today.
Li Qiyuan asked if he had taken the highway, and Yu Huizhi asked how much the two girls had spent on gifts.
After Li Peifeng truthfully answered, there was no further communication. As for his contact with Zhao Qingge, it was limited to yesterday morning’s call asking for leave. To avoid the mentor overthinking, Li Peifeng didn’t dare to chat much because he was taking Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning to see his parents. No matter how he tried to explain, it was wrong, so less talk meant fewer mistakes.
Unfortunately, Zhao Duoduo went straight home!
Li Peifeng was quite regretful at this point; if he had sensed something was wrong last night, he might not have been so at a loss now. But come to think of it, even if he knew in advance that Zhao Qingge would come to his house, it wouldn’t have helped. He couldn’t stop her; it wouldn’t be stopped. Knowing in advance might have made it hard to sleep last night.
But ultimately, what on earth is the mentor doing visiting home?! Is she trying to make a big fuss?
Li Peifeng wasn’t sure, but he expected Zhao Qingge hadn’t yet told his parents about any relationship beyond being mentor and student. Otherwise, his parents would have blown up his phone.
"Is it possible that Old Zhao is just visiting for a faculty visit?"
...
"I’m his mentor, so it’s normal to do a faculty visit, right?"
The morning before yesterday, after receiving Li Peifeng’s call asking for leave, Zhao Qingge couldn’t help but have such a thought!
Of course, she wasn’t going to meet Li Peifeng’s parents as a girlfriend, but Zhao Qingge believed she had the responsibility and obligation, as Li Peifeng’s mentor, to truthfully inform Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi about their child’s current learning and life circumstances.
Especially with a student like Li Peifeng whose private life is chaotic and whose moral thinking is severely problematic, she must personally report to his parents about the mistakes he has made, lest Li Peifeng thought he could hide the truth from them and act recklessly.
Moreover, Zhao Qingge wanted to understand Li Peifeng’s family structure, economic conditions, environment, and education situation to strengthen the connection between teacher, student, and student parents, then collaborate with Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi on the methods and strategies to educate Li Peifeng. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In short, the ultimate goal is to guide Li Peifeng onto the right path!
[What a headache-inducing disciple for a mentor?!]
With an earnest heart dedicated to teaching, Zhao Qingge’s sincere mentor’s soul burned brightly to save lost souls, so after approving Li Peifeng’s leave and finishing work for the day, she eagerly packed her belongings and drove to Ningyuan City at 5:30 this morning.
Going this early was to arrive at Li Peifeng’s house before him; Zhao Qingge wanted to see if, when Li Peifeng found her doing a faculty visit at his home, he would still dare to bring Wu Wenyue into the house claiming she was his girlfriend to Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi!
Arriving in Ningyuan City at 10 AM, Zhao Qingge called Yu Huizhi, confirmed the exact home address, and told her to keep it secret from Li Peifeng to avoid awkwardness.
Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi obediently complied, and they met at 10:15 AM.
Actually, Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi were very surprised by Zhao Qingge’s visit because who would do a faculty visit after a student entered university? But they responded warmly and gratefully in hosting Zhao Qingge...
"I honestly didn’t expect Professor Zhao to be so devoted to our child, traveling all the way from the Capital to Ningyuan City for a faculty visit, sacrificing your holiday. Please, have a seat. Here’s some fruit; actually, let me slice it into a fruit platter for you."
"No need, Uncle Li... Teacher Li, don’t bother."
"It’s necessary, it’s necessary."
Inside, Li Qiyuan was a bit puzzled; he didn’t understand Zhao Qingge’s sudden visit and wondered if she knew about his son’s two girlfriends and came to talk about it.
It’s unnecessary; she’s his mentor, she should focus on his studies, not bother with his romantic affairs.
Li Qiyuan hid his uncertainty, picked up the fruit, and went to the kitchen while also keenly listening to the conversation happening in the living room.
Yu Huizhi didn’t think much, pulling Zhao Qingge to the sofa as she smiled with a bit of embarrassment: "Today, I truly understood the spirit of a devoted mentor, elegant and pure. Even though my child’s father and I work at a university and have had students before, compared to you, we are wholly inadequate. Professor Qingge, you’re incredibly diligent and responsible... Alas, Fengfeng being able to have you as a mentor is truly his good fortune from a previous life! It’s our luck too!"
